Chapter 124 – Familiar Ghost


Because the incident happened in the city center, it caused a great commotion.

Within ten minutes, police cars had already arrived at the scene.

In charge of this case was Liu Jianming, Captain Liu.

He had been feeling a headache recently. In his early thirties, he should have been full of energy, but at this moment, although he had a serious and solemn expression on his face, he couldn’t hide the fatigue in his eyes.

“Immediately evacuate the nearby crowd, set up a cordon, and isolate all unrelated people.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Captain Liu acted swiftly and immediately gave the order, “In addition, implement traffic control on the nearby roads. Get a few people from the Traffic Department to redirect all vehicles passing by to other places and keep them away.”

“Yes, I’ll take care of it.”

“Notify the ambulance and fire brigade.”

Regardless of whether the sudden incident was a normal accident or the troublesome supernatural event that gave him a headache, he had to follow a set procedure. He had to take precautions and evacuate people to prevent further losses.

“Captain, Yang Jian has been found in the crowd, and it seems that he has witnessed the incident. Should we go and ask him?” a police officer approached and asked.

Yang Jian?

Captain Liu was slightly surprised.

Not because he was surprised to encounter Yang Jian, but because his appearance immediately made Captain Liu realize that this was most likely related to the International Criminal Police.

In other words, it was likely a supernatural event.

And once they encountered a supernatural event, they couldn’t interfere, nor did they have the ability to interfere. They could only report it.

“Yang Jian, hello, we meet again.”

Captain Liu decided to go and greet him. He walked over, bowed respectfully to Yang Jian who was standing by the road, and said.

“Captain Liu, it seems like you’re busy again. Although the casualties caused by the incident are not significant, the impact is huge. After all, this is much more serious than the previous incident of people disappearing in the shopping mall in the city center.” Yang Jian spoke.

“How much damage is there? Do you know?” Captain Liu asked.

“I’m not sure, but there are probably more than ten lives lost.” Yang Jian said, “Notify the new detective, Zhao Kaiming, and let him handle it. This is not something you can handle.”

Captain Liu smiled bitterly, “Is it another supernatural event?”

“But the new detective is not easy to deal with. Even if we notify him, he won’t be able to arrive in a short time. If possible, can you help? I’m not asking you to solve the case, I just hope that you can save more people. That would be enough.” Yang Jian said.

“In our country, there is a saying that goes ‘do your own job well’. The current detective in charge of Dachang City is Zhao Kaiming. I can’t intervene rashly. If things escalate, the responsibility will fall on me. Besides, directly interfering in someone else’s case has a taste of overstepping boundaries. Do you understand what I mean, Captain Liu?” Yang Jian said.

Captain Liu nodded, indicating that he understood.

He had also handled cases before, so he knew that there could only be one person in charge of a case, and it was not easy for others to intervene.

But Yang Jian was just being polite.

He didn’t want to get involved in a supernatural event for no reason.

It was a very dangerous move.

Although voluntary assistance seemed noble and praiseworthy, it could easily backfire.

Seeing that Yang Jian was unwilling to get involved in the incident, Captain Liu quickly left. He had to go and command some rescue and relief work, and he was very busy.

But this hard work had little effect.

At this time, another male employee couldn’t bear the fear anymore. Crying and shouting, he escaped from the fifteenth floor, jumping and shouting for help.

The feeling of despair could be felt by anyone.

“Bang~!”

When the person landed on the ground, they were already a lifeless body. Blood splattered, flesh and blood were mangled, making it unbearable to look at.

Some people were too scared to jump, but they were quickly dragged into the dim office building by something.

The screams of despair spread again, but quickly disappeared.

Some people had already guessed.

Those were the screams of dying.

And those who started to think had already realized that something was very wrong.

If it was a fire, why was there no fire?

If there was a criminal inside attacking people, why was there no movement?

What exactly happened inside?

To make people with strong will to survive jump off the fifteenth floor.

To dare to jump from the fifteenth floor, did that mean that the despair and horror inside were greater than jumping from the fifteenth floor?

Soon.

The screams became fewer and fewer.

“It’s almost over.” Yang Jian’s expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, at this moment, he saw a figure walking out of the office building. Finally, the figure stood in front of the glass window, but from this angle, only the upper half of a head could be vaguely seen, and nothing else could be seen.

That person was very eerie, standing there motionless, appearing very calm compared to those who had collapsed and shouted.

Moreover, this person had a numb expression, with dark blue-black skin, like a corpse that had been left for several days, showing no signs of a normal person, no vitality or energy, just a lifeless appearance, exuding an inexplicable gloom and chill.

“Is that a ghost?” Yang Jian felt that the Ghost Eye was about to open involuntarily, but he restrained this abnormality.

After standing in front of the window for a while, the person quickly turned around and left, disappearing on the fifteenth floor.However, at the moment that person turned around, Yang Jian unintentionally caught a glimpse of his eyes.

They were pitch black without pupils, like two dark voids, eerie and sinister.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, Yang Jian was taken aback.

“It’s him~!”

He recognized this ghost.

It was the ghost infant that had emerged from Zhou Zheng’s body.

Yes, there was no mistake.

Those pitch-black void-like eyes, the greenish-black skin, it was definitely the ghost infant.

Yang Jian had encountered it twice before, he couldn’t be mistaken.

The first time it had just revived, killed Zhou Zheng and crawled out of his stomach, looking like an infant. The second time was at Wang Shanshan’s house.

At that time, the ghost infant had grown into the shape of a child and could stand and walk.

But now, it clearly looked like a young man.

The greenish-black gloom covered the entire floor, which was the ghost domain that the ghost infant was nurturing the last time they met. However, at that time, it was just in its initial stage, far from being a ghost domain.

But now, it was very close to having a ghost domain.

“If we let this ghost infant continue to grow, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay in Da Chang City.”

Although Yang Jian had not intervened in this incident, upon confirming the growth rate of the ghost infant, he felt a bone-chilling coldness.

This ghost was becoming more and more terrifying.

“Let’s get out of here.”

He said to Jiang Yan, who was hiding behind him, too scared to leave.

Now that he knew the identity of this ghost, there was no need to stay and watch.

But at this moment.

“Boom~!” Along with the roaring sound of a car engine.

A military anti-explosion vehicle, full of horsepower, charged out from the nearby intersection like a wild beast. It directly hit a turning vehicle, rushed onto the pedestrian walkway at the intersection, and without slowing down, it was heading straight towards Yang Jian.

Yang Jian stopped in his tracks, and a ghost eye opened directly.

A headless shadow appeared behind him, giving a vague feeling of trying to stand up from the ground.

“Is it coming at me?”

He felt that this car had locked onto him with great precision.
