The ghost was successfully imprisoned, and the cooperation between Yang Jian and Yan Li ended here.
Next, it was time to fight for their own interests.
There was only one box, and Yang Jian had no reason to let Yan Li hold onto it.
Once they went out the door, who would recognize who?
Nowadays, the one who owes money is the boss.
“Yang Jian, what do you mean? Do you think I will keep this thing to myself?” Yan Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Jian, saying, “This thing is temporarily with me. Later, I will spread the word at the club, and buyers will come soon. When the deal is done, we will split the money and share the information.”
“I won’t take advantage of you, nor will I let you lose out.”
Yang Jian said, “If that’s the case, why don’t you trust me and leave it with me? You can contact the buyer, and then come to me. I will bring the thing out. Are you afraid that I will run away?”
“Then there’s nothing to talk about?” Yan Li said.
He didn’t expect this young detective to be so scheming. After solving the supernatural incident, he started to talk about interests.
“If you can’t make me trust you, then I think there’s no need to continue this conversation.” Yang Jian said seriously, “You don’t trust me, just like I don’t trust you.”
“Enough. I was the one who imprisoned the ghost just now.” Yan Li shouted.
“I saved you twice.” Yang Jian said calmly.
Yan Li was a little angry. “Do you still have the face to talk about saving me? You clearly used me as bait just now, to lure the ghost out. You couldn’t even tell which one of these corpses was the ghost. Otherwise, you could have let me enter the ghost realm in an instant, instead of making me retreat slowly.”
“Do you know that you almost killed me just now?”
Yang Jian stared at him and said, “Because you can only be used as bait. Otherwise, this arrest would definitely fail. I was thinking about the overall situation. Otherwise, why are you standing here arguing with me? Moreover, I had to save you within a second under the situation of the ghost realm. I am confident that you won’t die. But can you be sure that I won’t die if the roles were reversed?”
“What if I insist on taking this box with me today?” Yan Li said coldly.
He would never leave this hard-won thing with Yang Jian.
“Are you sure the box in your hand is real?” Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you… understand the ghost realm?”
Yan Li’s eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously looked at the thing in his hand.
He was instantly shocked.
The golden box in his hand had turned into a rotting human head at some point.
He almost instinctively threw the head away.
“When did you switch it?” Yan Li was shocked and angry.
“Guess.” Yang Jian said, “In the ghost realm, only what I think is real is real. Otherwise, everything you see could be fake… So, something interesting happened. What do you think is real now? What you see with your eyes? What you touch with your hands? Or what you smell with your nose?””When everything is fake, you will find that this world is also fake, and this is the illusion.”
“Very interesting ability.”
“It’s impossible. Your ghost domain is also the power of fierce ghosts. It cannot affect gold. That is a fact known to all the ghost tamers in the world,” Yan Li gritted his teeth.
Yang Jian said, “I cannot affect gold, but can’t I affect your eyes? Do you think the thing you just threw away was really a dead person’s head?”
What?
Yan Li’s heart trembled and he quickly picked up the head that he had thrown not far away.
“Can you be sure that the head you picked up now is the same one you threw away earlier?”
Yang Jian spoke again, with a smile on his lips, “After the matter is done, if you don’t trust me, I can’t trust you either. The box cannot be divided into two halves. Although your contribution is great, my contribution is not small either.”
“It was me who first discovered the rules of this ghost and found this ghost.”
As he spoke, he suddenly had a golden box in his hand.
It was the same one that Yan Li used to imprison the headless ghost before.
If Yang Jian had the box in his hand, then what Yan Li had in his hand was… a real human head.
“Damn it,” Yan Li cursed inwardly.
He quickly threw away the head in his hand again.
Now he was completely confused because he couldn’t distinguish what was real and what was fake in this ghost domain, and he didn’t know why he felt a sense of relief, as if he was glad that Yang Jian was not a real ghost, otherwise how could he be limited by this ghost?
He would be wiped out in an instant.
“I admit that I am not your opponent. You can make the decision this time. What do you want? You don’t want to keep it all to yourself, do you?” Yan Li said.
If Yang Jian chose to keep it all to himself, then he had no choice.
Yang Jian said, “Although we had some unpleasantness in the distribution of benefits, I am still a principled person. If there is no bottom line in being a human, what is the difference between a human and a ghost? So… we will continue our cooperation, but I will keep this box. You go and contact the seller, but I must be the one to negotiate this deal. What do you think?”
“…Do I still have the bargaining capital?” Yan Li said.
He was already grateful that they could continue their cooperation. If Yang Jian had been more ruthless, he would have been done for today.
“Okay, call me when we make the deal. Don’t call me randomly. I’m busy… and by the way, have a pleasant cooperation.”
He took out a pen from his pocket, wrote down his phone number, and put it on the ground.
After doing all this, the red light around them disappeared.
And so did Yang Jian.
Did he leave the ghost domain?
Yan Li looked around and saw the dead person’s head on the ground.
It wasn’t a real head at all, just a pack of instant noodles, and it was his least favorite flavor.
“What a load of crap. This unsolvable ghost domain…”Yan Li tightly clenched his fists, feeling powerless.
As fellow ghost tamers, why did Yang Jian get such a terrifying ability… it’s unfair.
Luck?
If Yang Jian knew his thoughts, he would definitely find it laughable.
He would rather not have this luck.
In that college supernatural incident, he didn’t know how many people died. He only knew that he and six other classmates barely survived.
If he hadn’t become a ghost tamer and received the warning from the human skin paper, everyone would have died. There wouldn’t have been a single survivor.
What if Yan Li had survived instead?
Yang Jian didn’t immediately leave the mall.
He hadn’t forgotten about someone.
Wang Yan.
She was the only survivor in the mall.
Dozens of people died in the mall, but there were always one or two lucky ones.
“Sister Wang Yan, are you still alive? There’s no sound on the phone.” Yang Jian appeared out of nowhere in the surveillance room.
He was still in the ghost realm.
At this moment, Wang Yan was curled up in a corner, holding a phone that had been cut off due to unpaid bills, sobbing quietly.
She had already felt despair.
Because Yang Jian and Yan Li hadn’t come out of the clothing store, she thought they had died inside.
The ghost realm couldn’t be captured on surveillance cameras.
Wang Yan’s heart was collapsing. If Yang Jian had died, what would she do? The ghost was still outside, and she would definitely die if she walked out…
But as Yang Jian’s voice sounded, her sobbing stopped, and she quickly looked up.
Seeing Yang Jian in front of her, she stood up excitedly and rushed towards him, “I thought you were dead, it’s great that you’re okay.”
“Ah~!”
It was supposed to be a warm embrace, but Wang Yan went straight through Yang Jian’s body and fell to the ground. When she lifted her head, her nose was bleeding.
“Sister Wang, why are you so excited? I thought you were going to attack me.” Yang Jian looked at her in confusion.
“Are you… human or ghost?” Wang Yan looked up at Yang Jian in fear.
She was sure that she had just gone straight through him.
Yes, face-to-face.
“I don’t want to explain things you won’t understand. Your task is complete, it’s time to go.” Yang Jian grabbed her wrist.
They disappeared from the spot in an instant.
