Just yesterday.
Yang Jian received a call from his classmate Zhang Wei, saying that there would be a class reunion today and asked the few survivors in their class to gather.
It was said that several of them were going to leave Da Chang City.
Moving houses, transferring schools.
In this situation, Yang Jian felt it necessary to go, perhaps this would be the last time he would meet the other classmates in their class.
The task of acquiring gold had been entrusted to Jiang Yan, and she had been working diligently during this period. Yang Jian was relieved to see that, although money was flowing like water, he had acquired a lot of physical gold.
This made him gradually feel at ease.
If he didn’t miscalculate, gold would likely replace all kinds of luxury goods in the future. Although it couldn’t completely replace the currencies of various countries, it would definitely be the most valuable thing in the future.
“Maybe I should buy a car.”
Yang Jian took a taxi to the agreed location. Although he had a car, he had to let Jiang Yan use it for business.
Indeed, sacrificing himself for the happiness of his employees.
“Yang Jian, over here, over here.”
As soon as Yang Jian got out of the car, he looked around and before he could find Zhang Wei, he heard him waving and shouting from a pavilion by the road.
Most people wave with their palms.
But Zhang Wei waved with his middle finger.
Yang Jian’s face darkened.
“Can’t you change your signature waving gesture?” He walked over and only saw Zhang Wei and Zhao Lei.
There were only three of them.
“Just the three of us? Are the others not coming?” Yang Jian asked.
Zhao Lei, who was standing aside, looked a bit unwell, as if he had trouble sleeping. He said, “Zhang Wei contacted them before and said they would come, but we waited for more than ten minutes and only you showed up. Maybe they won’t come.”
“How could they do this? They clearly agreed to it but went back on their word. They are too much. They don’t even give me, Zhang Wei, any face. Xiaoyang, can you arrange it for me?” Zhang Wei looked at him seriously.
Zhao Lei said, “If Yang Jian calls them, they will definitely come. After all, during the time at school…”
He stopped here, not wanting to recall such a terrifying thing.
“Let’s wait a little longer. If they really don’t come, then forget it. After experiencing such an event, it’s possible that their mental state has been affected, and they may be hiding at home and dare not come out.” Yang Jian said.
Zhang Wei sneered, “If that’s the case, then they are too fragile. Look at me, I have no problems at all. How can I be scared by some insignificant ghosts and monsters? By the way, did you handle the matter with those black-clothed people last time?”
“That’s what I said, but he is wearing Buddhist beads on his wrist, a Buddha pendant on his neck, and even a peace charm around his waist. He exudes a strong aura of a Buddhist rich man.”
“They got the wrong person.” Yang Jian casually found a reason, “But why is your face a bit swollen? Are you having a fever?”
“No, it’s from playing games.” Zhang Wei said.
Yang Jian asked, “What game were you playing?”
“A test online to see if there are ghosts in your house.”
Zhang Wei said in a deep voice, “I heard that if you face the mirror in your house at midnight and play rock-paper-scissors with your reflection a hundred times, if it’s a tie every time, it means there are no ghosts in your house. But if the reflection wins, even just once, it means there are ghosts in your house and you must move out.”
“What does that have to do with your swollen face?” Yang Jian asked.
“I was thinking, what if there are ghosts in my house? What should I do? So when I played this game, I added a condition, a method of dealing with ghosts using ghosts, just like what Zhou Zheng said that day, the only thing that can deal with ghosts is ghosts.” Zhang Wei said.
“After all, I’m good at thinking.”
“What condition did you add?” Yang Jian asked.
Zhang Wei said, “Clever me decided that if someone wins, they have to slap themselves. Even if I won and there were ghosts in my house, I would slap myself. That way, I would be safe.”
“The result was that night, I was really lucky and won all night, so I slapped myself and my face swelled up.”
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, wanting to praise him for being clever, but then frowned and said, “That’s not right. When you play rock-paper-scissors with your reflection, it should always be a tie. How could you win all night?”
“Huh?”
Zhang Wei was reminded by this and immediately widened his eyes, looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.
“What did you just say?”
“I said, can you win all night when you play rock-paper-scissors with your reflection?”
Yang Jian asked him again, “Have you been under a lot of pressure recently? Do you have any mental problems? Maybe you should go to the neurology department of the hospital.”
Zhang Wei shook his head, “It’s impossible, impossible. I’ve been resting every day during this period, and playing games like eating chicken is a common thing. How could I have mental pressure?”
“Since it’s not because of mental pressure causing hallucinations, then it’s possible that there really are ghosts in your house. Otherwise, how could you win against the person in the mirror?” Yang Jian said.
“Oh my god.”
Zhang Wei almost jumped up in shock, “I played rock-paper-scissors with a ghost all night?”
“Zhang Wei, don’t scare me with ghost stories. Believe it or not, I’ll cry for you to see.” Zhao Lei threatened.
“Tell me a damn ghost story. I, your father, encountered a ghost, and it was even in my own house.”Zhang Wei’s face turned pale with fear, despite standing under the sun, he could still feel a chill running down his spine.
It seemed like the story he just told was real.
Not made up.
“Um…..” Yang Jian didn’t know what to say at this moment.
Was it a hallucination caused by Zhang Wei’s mental stress, or was there really a ghost in his house?
Logically, if Zhang Wei had really encountered a ghost, he should have been dead by now. How could he be unscathed?
“No, I have to call my parents right away and tell them not to go home, just say that our house is on fire.” Zhang Wei hurriedly pulled out an old-fashioned button phone.
Yang Jian said, “If you tell them the house is on fire, your parents will definitely rush home to check.”
“What should I do then?”
Zhang Wei also felt that this excuse was not good: “Or should I say that the toilet in our house exploded?”
“I feel that if your parents find out you lied to them, you might get beaten to death when you go back. But are you really sure that something is wrong with your house?” Yang Jian asked.
“Of course, why would I lie to you about this, we are brothers.” Zhang Wei exclaimed.
Yang Jian thought for a moment: “If there really is a problem, I can arrange something for you.”
Saying this, he picked up his phone and dialed Captain Liu’s number.
Captain Liu, who was in the middle of a case, complained helplessly when he received Yang Jian’s call: “It’s you, Yang Jian. You caused me a lot of trouble when you left last time. The Interpol Zhao Kaiming was furious after you left, and we who were left at the scene got scolded a lot. Although both of you are from the criminal police, try to avoid conflicts, otherwise it’s hard for us at the bottom to work.”
“Sorry, it’s a personal grudge, I shouldn’t have involved you. I hope you can help me with something.” Yang Jian said.
“What is it? If it’s official business, I’m obliged to help. If it’s personal, that’s another matter.” Captain Liu said seriously.
Yang Jian said: “It’s a mix of both, I won’t make it difficult for you. There seems to be a paranormal event in a residential area. I hope you can find time to seal off that household, notify the homeowner not to return for the time being. After I confirm whether there is a paranormal event later, I will call you.”
“This is official business, not personal. Okay, rest assured, I will arrange for someone to seal it off. Give me the address.” Captain Liu said.
Yang Jian gave Zhang Wei’s home address: “The impact of the incident is not very big, don’t make a big fuss about it. Because I have only received some information, before confirming, it’s better not to cause too much commotion.”
“I understand.” Captain Liu said.
“Thank you.” Yang Jian said.
“No problem, the handling of special events in Da Chang City still relies on you criminal police.” Captain Liu said.
Yang Jian politely exchanged a few words and hung up the phone. He said: “Now it’s okay, your house will be sealed off soon, and your parents won’t be able to return. It’s safe for now.”
“That’s great.” Zhang Wei sighed in relief.
“Do you want me to go to your house and take a look?”
Zhang Wei looked surprised: “Why go to that haunted place? I don’t want that house anymore. I’ll move to another place later, I have several villas, and there’s another house in the community across the street.”
“……”
Yang Jian looked at him with a strange look: “If you have so many houses, why didn’t you say it earlier? Just don’t go there, you wasted my phone bill.”
“I didn’t think about it just now. I only remembered the other houses after the house was sealed.” Zhang Wei said somewhat embarrassedly.
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore, you go think about what happened with the mirror.” Yang Jian suppressed the urge to hit him.
However, at this moment, a car stopped by the roadside.
It was Wang Bin, Wang Shanshan’s father, who drove his daughter over.
“Yang Jian, hello, we meet again.”
As soon as Wang Bin saw Yang Jian, he immediately showed a very polite smile, walked over and shook hands.
“Hello, Uncle Wang.” Yang Jian replied.
“I heard you guys are having a class reunion, I’m not very comfortable with Shanshan coming alone, so I came with her. You guys don’t mind, do you?” Wang Bin smiled.
“Of course not…..”
Before Yang Jian could finish his sentence, he glanced at Wang Shanshan, whom he hadn’t seen for a while, and his eyes narrowed.
He saw Wang Shanshan standing there quietly in a dress, her skin pale as if devoid of any blood. If it weren’t for her eyes still moving slightly, looking at him, Yang Jian would have thought she was a corpse.
How long has it been since the ghost baby mark incident was resolved?
Less than a month, right?
How did a vibrant and beautiful girl turn into this?
