“Am I late?”

On the helicopter, Wang Xiaoming saw with his own eyes that his younger brother Wang Xiaoqiang’s sports car disappeared into thin air after being chased by a red light.

He was well aware that Wang Xiaoqiang did not disappear, but fell into Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain.

At this critical moment, he was finally caught up by Yang Jian.

If Wang Xiaoqiang had arrived half a minute earlier, he was confident that he could have taken him away. Not to mention Yang Jian, even the higher-ups would not say a word.

“Stop the helicopter,” Wang Xiaoming said.

Inside the Ghost Domain.

“Yang Jian!” Wang Xiaoqiang’s heart was filled with anger as he gritted his teeth and shouted.

Looking at Yang Jian standing in front of the wrecked car, Wang Xiaoqiang had never felt such despair.

“You should have expected this outcome yesterday. Did you really think that I couldn’t do anything to you when I let you go yesterday? It was because I wasn’t in a good condition. If I continued to delay, I might die from the revival of the vengeful spirits along with Ye Feng. Moreover, the Ghost Rope has caused me a lot of trouble. However, you missed that opportunity.”

Yang Jian calmly spoke.

Although he had shown enough strength yesterday and perfectly resolved the assassination, his situation was actually very dangerous at that time.

“Even without anyone’s help, I am not someone you can kill at will. Don’t forget that I am also a Ghost Tamer. Even if I have to sacrifice everything, I will not let you succeed.” Wang Xiaoqiang growled, struggling to climb out of the wrecked car.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Xiaoqiang, who was struggling to climb out of the severely damaged car, and before he could stabilize himself, the black ghost shadow covered him, tightly strangling his neck, and lifted him up from the ground.

“What did you say? Sacrifice everything? Let me see you sacrifice everything now.”

With that, the ghost shadow exerted force again, and Wang Xiaoqiang’s neck made a creaking sound as if it was about to be broken.

Wang Xiaoqiang’s face turned red, and he couldn’t say a word.

“No wonder you ran over here. So, your big brother is here to pick you up. Unfortunately, you came too late. If you had escaped overnight yesterday, maybe you still had a chance to leave Dachang City. But now… I’m sorry, you can only die here.”

“You can’t kill me, my big brother is right here.”

Wang Xiaoqiang managed to utter a sentence from his almost suffocated mouth.

In front of Yang Jian, he didn’t even have the qualification to sacrifice everything.

Yang Jian said, “When you’re about to die, what else do you have to fear?”

As he spoke, he looked at the abandoned car next to him.

At this moment, it started to rain, and the drops fell on Wang Xiaoqiang’s body.

“Gasoline?”

Wang Xiaoqiang’s face changed as soon as he smelled the scent. He understood that Yang Jian had transferred the gasoline from the fuel tank to his head through the Ghost Domain.

“You have a vengeful spirit hiding in your body, but the only thing that truly belongs to you is the outer layer of skin. It’s really terrifying. Even if you are left with only a layer of skin, you can still survive. The power of the vengeful spirits is truly amazing. It’s quite impressive that you can control such a vengeful spirit. Unfortunately, you don’t know how to use it. If I burn off your outer layer of skin, do you think you can still survive?” Yang Jian said.

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately began to struggle violently.

His efforts were in vain, as it was not Yang Jian who was holding him, but the black ghost shadow.

He couldn’t break free from the grip of the vengeful spirit.

“It seems I was right,” Yang Jian took out a lighter from his pocket.

“Yang Jian, do you have Wang Xiaoqiang in your hands? Can we talk?” At this moment, Wang Xiaoming’s voice came from outside the Ghost Domain.

“Big… Big brother?” Wang Xiaoqiang became excited, as if he had seen hope of survival.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian did not immediately kill Wang Xiaoqiang. Instead, he revealed the Ghost Domain.

Inside, a world covered in red light appeared on the road like a projection.

“Professor Wang, it’s been a long time. How is the research on the Ghost Coffin going?” Yang Jian calmly greeted.

Wang Xiaoming replied, “The progress has been smooth, thanks to your help. Your retrieval of the Ghost Coffin and the rescue of Feng Quan have greatly influenced my research.”

“That’s good. Professor Wang is busy with important matters for the peace of all mankind. My humble contribution is nothing. However, since I have made a contribution to Professor Wang’s research, why did your younger brother conspire with other Ghost Tamers to assassinate me?” Yang Jian asked.

“Are you trying to kill me to keep the news of the Ghost Coffin sealed forever?”

Wang Xiaoming’s expression changed slightly. He understood that the conflict between Wang Xiaoqiang and Yang Jian was a personal grudge, but these words elevated the personal grudge to a national level.

If he wanted to save Wang Xiaoqiang, it would mean that he was accepting the fact that he was leading the assassination.

This would have a significant impact within the country.

“Name your price. As long as it’s something I can do, I will do it. You won’t lose out.” Wang Xiaoming did not answer directly, but instead stated his own conditions.

Yang Jian said, “Last time, I asked you which was more important, a detective or a company manager? You didn’t hesitate to kill the detective.”

“Killing my useless younger brother won’t bring you any benefits. As long as you let him go this time, I can guarantee that he won’t appear in front of you again and won’t cause you any trouble.” Wang Xiaoming fell silent for a moment. “He is my only younger brother.”

“I am also my mother’s only son.” Yang Jian said, “If I die, my family line will end. If Wang Xiaoqiang dies, at least he still has an older brother like you. Now that I have let him go, who let me go yesterday?”Wang Xiaoqiang frowned deeply, “I’ll say it again, give me a price.”

“Sorry, the reason I agreed to meet you is not because I plan to let Wang Xiaoqiang go, but because I want to be a good person for the sake of your brotherhood. I want to let you see Wang Xiaoqiang for the last time, so that you can’t say I’m heartless. Besides, you should know that he has tried to deal with me more than once. I gave him a chance last time.”

“But there will always be someone challenging your bottom line. This time it’s him, next time it will be someone else. If you’re not strong enough, you’ll be beaten and bullied. After all, I’m not as good as you, a professor with status and position. I’m just a low-level ghost tamer. It’s unknown how long I can survive. If my methods aren’t ruthless enough, I won’t even be able to stand in Da Chang City.”

As he spoke, the ghost shadow behind him lifted Wang Xiaoqiang in front of him.

Wang Xiaoming looked at Wang Xiaoqiang, who was within arm’s reach, and instinctively reached out to grab him, but his hand passed through Wang Xiaoqiang’s body.

The scene in front of him was not real, it was just what Yang Jian presented to himself through the Ghost Domain.

No one knew where the real Wang Xiaoqiang was.

“Big…big brother, save me.” Wang Xiaoqiang’s face was filled with fear at this moment. He felt the threat of death.

But he didn’t want to die after all this.

With pleading and tears, he begged Wang Xiaoming for help.

However, in the next moment, Wang Xiaoqiang’s skin quickly turned charred, and he struggled and screamed in pain.

“Yang Jian, you…” Wang Xiaoming’s face changed drastically.

Although he couldn’t see the fire burning, he already guessed that his younger brother Wang Xiaoqiang was in the midst of the raging fire.

The fire had indeed been ignited.

“This time, I don’t want to negotiate. Some things cannot be compromised.” Yang Jian said.

“Brother, brother, save me…” Wang Xiaoqiang reached out his gradually blackening hand towards Wang Xiaoming, tears of regret streaming down his eyes.

Wang Xiaoming reached out to grab him, but only caught empty air. He could only watch helplessly as his own younger brother perished in the flames of the Ghost Domain.

The struggling gradually subsided.

Soon, the black arm became limp.

The flesh and skin that had stuck to it peeled off in large chunks, revealing a white skeleton.

No matter how the flames burned, the skeleton remained intact.

Suddenly, the pair of bone hands moved, grabbing the ghost shadow on its neck.

This eerie action was definitely not controlled by Wang Xiaoqiang.

He was already dead.

What remained was this skeleton ghost, with no trace of Wang Xiaoqiang’s flesh left.

Even if his ghost was strange, it should be impossible to resurrect Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoming, who turned his own younger brother into a ghost tamer, knew better than anyone that his brother had died in the Ghost Domain, completely disappearing from this world.

Even he couldn’t bring Wang Xiaoqiang back to life.

“Why, why didn’t you listen to me? Why didn’t you run earlier? Why did you cause such a big trouble outside?” Wang Xiaoming’s tears flowed down his face as he knelt on the ground, almost collapsing.

“Professor.” The accompanying personnel hurriedly supported Wang Xiaoming.

They looked at Yang Jian in the Ghost Domain with complex expressions.

They couldn’t blame him, or even complain.

Because Yang Jian in front of them was an international criminal investigator in Da Chang City, while Wang Xiaoqiang was a criminal, a wanted criminal. Even if he was killed on the spot, it would only be commendable, not excessive.

So, Yang Jian did nothing wrong.

“Wang Xiaoqiang is dead, the ghost inside his body has come out. You should know better than me about the abilities of this ghost. If Professor Wang is willing to cooperate with my work, you can tell me something. Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you. This matter will be resolved eventually.” Yang Jian spoke.

The accompanying personnel widened their eyes as they looked at Yang Jian.

You just killed his younger brother, and now you have the audacity to ask for information?

But, on second thought, if it’s only about official business, Professor Wang should indeed cooperate with Yang Jian’s work. After all, it was he who released the ghost from the laboratory in the first place, and he has the responsibility.

Wang Xiaoming slowly stood up from the ground at this moment. He didn’t wipe away the tears on his face, but immediately turned and left.

Although he was filled with grief, he didn’t hold any grudges against Yang Jian because of it.

Because he hadn’t done anything wrong today. If it wasn’t Wang Xiaoqiang who was being hunted down this time, but another ghost tamer, he would fully support Yang Jian’s approach.

A lawless ghost tamer should be eliminated. This kind of person poses a greater threat to society than fierce ghosts.

“Professor?”

Wang Xiaoming said, “Don’t say anything, let’s go back to the laboratory. I need to continue my research.”

The accompanying personnel’s expression changed, and they dared not say anything more.

Before boarding the helicopter, Wang Xiaoming turned around expressionlessly and said, “Although you killed my younger brother, I hope you can show enough value in the future. Once I judge that you pose a greater threat than contribution, I will not hesitate to use all my power to kill you.”

“Before that, I am still a professor, and you are still a criminal investigator. I won’t show any favoritism in our work. If you want to detain this ghost, you must dismantle this skeleton and detain them separately. Only then can you prevent its resurrection. Otherwise, it will always gather together. Also, don’t let it come into contact with the flesh and blood of living people, otherwise it will possess the next person’s body until it meets certain conditions and completes its resurrection.””So, this ghost is quite docile, not actively reviving, but passively reviving. It seems that this ghost king was carefully selected by Professor Wang for Wang Xiaoqiang to control.” Yang Jian’s expression slightly changed.

Just as Professor Wang said, the value of this skeleton ghost is unimaginable.

It’s a waste for Wang Xiaoqiang to use it for self-protection. With this undying and unable to actively revive skeleton, he has the capital to deal with any ghost.

Wang Xiaoming didn’t say another word and quickly left Dachang City by helicopter.

Watching him leave, Yang Jian thought to himself: “He could bear it even when I killed Wang Xiaoqiang in front of him. This professor is indeed extraordinary.”

From Professor Wang’s previous performance, he indeed cares a lot about his younger brother.

He could suppress such deep hatred and still willing to handle things impartially.

Either a hero who endures hardship for revenge, or a sage who cares about the world.

“Whether he holds a grudge against me in his heart, whether he will become my enemy in the future, I do not regret today’s decision.” Yang Jian’s eyes were cold, without regret.

Killing Wang Xiaoqiang had no other meaning, it was just revenge.

Any interest entanglement, any background, all are nonsense.

Looking at the struggling skeleton in front of him, Yang Jian controlled the ghost shadow to dismember it directly.

This ghost is weaker than the ghost shadow, it’s just the characteristic of being hard to kill that is troublesome.

A complete skeleton was forcibly dismantled into pieces of bones by Yang Jian.

The white bones were without a trace of flesh and blood, just like a skeleton specimen in a hospital.

After disassembling, Yang Jian saw these bones constantly gathering together, as if they wanted to reassemble. With this important information, Yang Jian directly wrapped each bone with the gold foil paper he carried with him.

After wrapping, these scattered bones immediately became quiet.

No more movement.

Yang Jian collected these things, then closed the ghost domain and turned to leave.

“Next, consider how to deal with Ye Feng.”

However, as he was leaving, he had a feeling and suddenly looked at the sky.

It was only two o’clock in the afternoon, but the sky of Dachang City was somewhat dim, as if it was covered by a layer of cyan-black.

Gloom?

Yang Jian frowned, but didn’t think much about it.
