The alert on the main road began to be lifted, and the blocked roads began to resume traffic.

All kinds of vehicles gradually left.

In a short while, everyone here had already left one after another, leaving only a few observers responsible for continuing to observe the follow-up situation of the disappeared Huanggang Village, to prevent another sudden event from happening.

Yang Jian took Zhang Han’s car and asked him to help send him to the city.

On the way, Zhang Han asked with some confusion, “I will go to that company for testing tomorrow. If everything goes well, I can start controlling the second ghost within a week. If I’m lucky enough, I might be able to delay the revival of the fierce ghost and continue to live.”

“Why did you refuse before?” Yang Jian asked.

Yang Jian replied, “The success rate of controlling the second ghost is still very low, less than 20%. If you dare to try, I need to consider it. At least wait until the success rate increases before I take the risk.”

“And I can wait for now. Wang Xiaoming won’t go back on his word, and I can consider when to start based on my own situation. He has already controlled the second ghost, so the revival of the fierce ghost has been greatly delayed. He has the capital to wait for Wang Xiaoming’s method to mature, improve, and increase the success rate.”

“You’re right. It’s more cautious this way. But I can’t wait. I doubt if I can hold on until I control the second ghost,” Zhang Han said, his face not looking good.

He seemed to be injured and silently enduring some kind of pain.

Yang Jian felt the car shaking on the road and said, “I really think your complexion doesn’t look good. You’re sweating all over. If you die, it will be troublesome. I’ll have to spend time dealing with the ghost in your body. How about you pack yourself into a suitcase later, and I’ll find a chance to sell you? Just kidding.”

“No, it’s not that. I got a minor injury. The flesh on my back was torn when dealing with that ghost. It’s bleeding now. I need to go to the hospital to bandage the wound. It’ll be fine soon,” Zhang Han hurriedly explained.

“Oh, I see. You made me happy for nothing. I almost took care of everything for you,” Yang Jian said.

“… ” Zhang Han didn’t want to pay attention to this guy.

He had just witnessed Yang Jian selling Feng Quan. It was quite a gain. He probably got addicted to selling teammates.

“Is the Ghost Candle thing… real?” After a moment of silence, Zhang Han couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Yang Jian looked at him in surprise and said, “What Ghost Candle? What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand at all? Did you say something just now?”

Zhang Han’s face darkened and he said, “I didn’t pay attention to your Ghost Candle. What are you so nervous about?”

“Shh, walls have ears. We can’t talk about it. The fewer people who know about this, the better. There are more than just a few Ghost Controllers in Dachang City. Although many members of the Xiaoqiang Club have died, there must be other Ghost Controllers. What if someone finds out and comes to kill us for the treasure?”

Yang Jian hushed him.

“This thing can save lives. It’s a very precious resource. Others wouldn’t dare to touch it if it’s in Professor Wang’s hands, but it’s different in my hands. If someone finds out that I have it one day, I won’t let you off.”

Zhang Han almost slammed on the brakes when he heard this. “It’s none of my business if someone comes looking for you.”

“It must be you who leaked the information. If not you, then who?” Yang Jian said.

“… “

Zhang Han was speechless for a while. After thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense.

But upon careful consideration, there was a problem.

“It’s also possible that someone from Wang Xiaoming’s side leaked the information.”

“They don’t have the guts.”

Yang Jian said, “Ordinary people can’t afford to mess with Ghost Controllers. Wu Yue is the best example. Although some people in the company have money and power, in terms of social status, our position as Ghost Controllers is much higher than theirs. Although we are still miserable now, we play a crucial role in supernatural events. After all, only we can solve these things.”

“Alright, alright, you don’t need to say anymore. I don’t know about that thing, and I don’t want to know. I just need to delay the revival of the fierce ghost. I don’t care about anything else. I won’t ask anymore in the future. Let’s just treat what you said earlier as nonsense.”

“I’m relieved that you know you’re talking nonsense,” Yang Jian said.

Zhang Han was so angry that he wanted to beat this brat. Who is this kid? He has no sense of propriety… But thinking that he couldn’t beat Yang Jian, he had to swallow his anger.”I’m an adult, I won’t hold a grudge against a student.”

“But I have to thank you for this time. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it out of Huanggang Village alive. Ye Jun and the others were wrong. If they had listened to your arrangements earlier, maybe so many people wouldn’t have died.” Zhang Han said with some emotion.

Although Yang Jian’s interpersonal skills were infuriating, it had to be admitted that the young man was very capable.

He had survived the incident in Huanggang Village.

The so-called seniors were like extras in a film base, getting killed off within the first minute.

“It’s a shame to live to such an old age.”

“Even if Ye Jun and the others were still alive, I would arrange for them properly and find an opportunity to kill them.” Yang Jian said.

Zhang Han looked at him in surprise: “Why would you do that?”

“I’m petty.” Yang Jian said.

“I see, I understand.”

Zhang Han swallowed his words and focused on driving.

At this time, Yang Jian picked up his phone and made a call: “Hello, is this Sister Jiang?”

A somewhat frantic voice came from the other end of the phone: “I’ve told you not to call me sister. Why are you only calling me now? It’s been almost a week. Do you know how I’ve been getting through this week? Do you?”

“You weren’t hiding at home playing Greedy Blue Moon, were you?” Yang Jian said.

“I…….”

Jiang Yan didn’t know how to respond.

“I’m in the city now. I’ll send you my location later. You come pick me up. I have something for you to do later.” Yang Jian said.

“Great, I’ll be right there.” Jiang Yan said excitedly.

Yang Jian hung up the phone and was a bit puzzled. Was it necessary for Jiang Yan to be so excited about picking him up?

There must be a catch.

“Are you getting off here? Is your home nearby?” Zhang Han asked.

“No, I’m just hungry and want to eat something. In Huanggang Village, I survived on compressed food. You know, that stuff doesn’t suit my taste at all. It makes me bloated if I eat too much. Anyway, I left my number with you. If there’s anything, just call me.” Yang Jian said.

“No, I take back what I said earlier. If there’s anything, I’ll contact you. Don’t contact me. We’re not that close.”

“……” Zhang Han had originally wanted to invite him for a meal.

But after hearing that, he felt it would be too cheap to ask again.

“Well, see you next time.”

Zhang Han, looking constipated, let Yang Jian out of his expensive sports car and quickly left.

“That sports car is really beautiful. When I have money, I’ll buy one too,” Yang Jian said, watching with envy.

Then, he turned and walked into a fried chicken shop in a nearby mall.

He missed this kind of junk food.

However, under the light of the street lamp, no matter from which angle it shone on Yang Jian, there was only one shadow behind him. This shadow was darker and deeper than others, stretched out long and slanted, like a tall person lying on the ground… most importantly, this shadow had no head.

From the day in Huanggang Village, this headless ghost shadow would always accompany Yang Jian.

Dangerous and terrifying.

Passers-by occasionally stepped on the shadow, but they were not harmed. They just felt a sudden chill rising from the soles of their feet. But as the shadow followed Yang Jian’s footsteps and left, everything returned to normal.

“Excuse me, beautiful lady in front, you wouldn’t mind if I cut in line, would you?”

Yang Jian, looking at the people in line, was so hungry that he couldn’t stand it and spoke up.

“Huh?”

The young woman in line in front of him widened her eyes and looked at him.

As if looking at a lunatic or a pervert.

Yang Jian said, “I’m sorry, I misspoke. I meant to ask if I could cut in line. It sounds a bit strange, I’m sorry. Actually, I haven’t eaten for several days……”
