“Are we leaving?”

Yang Jian stood by the window for a long time.

His body only relaxed after he knew that the hazy ghost realm had completely disappeared.

“Fortunately, we were just passing through. Otherwise, whoever touches that level of ghost will die. But from the previous situation, although this ghost has not been contained or imprisoned, it should have been restricted to some extent. Otherwise, its hands wouldn’t have deliberately crossed… the ghost handler must have researched the killing method for that ghost.”

“The handcuffs made of gold-plated candlesticks restrict the ghost’s ability in some way.”

“But what about the candles on the candlestick?”

Yang Jian frowned, “The candle and the candlestick are one, both are man-made, and they are still burning… it seems to have a restraining effect on ghosts? Or is it a signpost, leading the ghost in a certain direction?”

“It seems that there are still many secrets in the world of ghost handlers, and I even think that some effective methods for dealing with ghosts have been discovered.”

“Is it because my level is not high enough to know, or… intentional technological blockade by various countries?”

“Even in the face of such a global disaster, do people still have to fight and be hostile to each other?”

Yang Jian pondered for a moment.

He felt that he could not survive as a free and unrestrained ghost handler.

Yan Li’s path was wrong.

To survive, he must find a way to climb up, improve his status, position… even power. Only in this way can he know more secrets and information.

He didn’t want to be kept in the dark and wait for death.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian looked at the human skin paper on the table again, pressed down by a gold box.

It seemed to know all the secrets…

But it required a great price, and it wouldn’t easily reveal very important information.

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Jian knew what to do next.

He glanced at Jiang Yan, “Don’t look at me with that face of someone who lost their parents. Just now, there was only a passing ghost outside. It’s all over now. Did you bring my egg fried rice? I still want to sleep after eating.”

“It’s in the bag.” Jiang Yan was nervous and stuttered.

“Thank you.”

Yang Jian acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual. His mental endurance had exceeded that of ordinary people.

He now felt that even if a pile of corpses were placed in front of him, he could still eat them.

Was he a pervert?

Jiang Yan saw that Yang Jian was enjoying his food and knew that everything was really okay. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “I’m going to take a shower. If anything happens, remember to rush in and save me. I’m obedient.”

“Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll pay for your cremation.” Yang Jian continued to eat.

“…” Jiang Yan.

Yang Jian didn’t dare to promise to save her. If he really encountered a ghost of a terrifying level, he would run away without hesitation and not even look back. At most, out of the friendship they had, he would come back to collect her body after the ghost had left.

“It’s okay. I will definitely be fine. I will be able to survive well.”

While taking a shower, Jiang Yan was afraid of hitting her own face and kept encouraging herself.”That terrifying mall has been conquered, there’s nothing that can scare me now. I’ve seen ghosts before, as long as Yang Jian is with me, I’m not afraid. He can deal with those things, even though he doesn’t say it, I believe him.”

“But first, I have to become his girlfriend, then he will protect me… at the very least, I can be the other woman.”

Although it was planned, Jiang Yan still felt a little embarrassed about seducing an 18-year-old young man. It felt like she was testing the limits of the law.

But luckily, she was a woman. If it were the other way around, it would be even more terrifying.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yan dried her hair and did some light makeup in front of the mirror. Her rosy cheeks, delicate features, and curvaceous mature figure wrapped in a bath towel exuded a seductive charm that could ignite any man’s desire.

As a beauty pursued by many people since college, Jiang Yan was confident in her appearance and figure. However, she was also a smart woman who wouldn’t be blinded by the fleeting love of college. In her eyes, love and marriage for women were just investments. If she wanted to gain the most benefits, there was nothing more profitable than investing in a potential stock. And Yang Jian was the most suitable man for her.

“I’m coming out now, you must be impatient.” Jiang Yan walked out of the bathroom with a seductive tone and a slightly blushing face. But there was no response from inside the room.

Jiang Yan walked over with a hint of doubt and saw the empty food box on the table. Looking upstairs, she found that Yang Jian had already gone to bed.

“He didn’t even wait for me.” Jiang Yan thought to herself as she put on a bathrobe and went upstairs.

Seeing Yang Jian lying in bed with his arms spread out, occupying the whole bed, made her roll her eyes. His emotional intelligence was too low.

“Yang Jian, are you sleeping?” Jiang Yan snuggled up to him and leaned against his chest, speaking softly.

“No.” Yang Jian opened his eyes.

“I knew you weren’t sleeping. How long have you been waiting for me? Are you hungry? Do you want me to feed you?” Jiang Yan said with a smile.

“I’m not hungry now, I’ve already eaten.” Yang Jian replied.

Jiang Yan hugged his neck and said seductively, “There’s nothing delicious about food, have you ever heard of ‘the beauty is as pleasing as the food’?”

“Don’t move around, I’m not feeling well.” Yang Jian’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

The side effects of controlling evil spirits had appeared again. His body began to paralyze on the bed, unable to move, but he could feel the restless ghost eye hidden inside his body.

“Where does it hurt? Do you mind if I take a look?” Jiang Yan said seductively, kissing Yang Jian’s face.

But as soon as she finished kissing him, a cut opened on Yang Jian’s face, revealing a scarlet eye with a strange gaze.

“Ah~!” Jiang Yan was startled and almost jumped off the bed.

“I told you not to move.” Yang Jian calmly said, “I can’t control the ghost inside my body right now. If it wants to do something to you, I have no way to stop it.”

“How… how could this happen?” Jiang Yan covered her mouth in shock.Yang Jian said, “The reason why I can deal with fierce ghosts is that I have turned into one myself. Otherwise, do you think people like us have any way to deal with them? Rely on our brains or courage? Or do you think there are really some special abilities, Taoist spells?”

“Getting the power of a fierce ghost comes with a price, and that’s just one of them.”

“There’s no benefit to being too close to me. I came here just to stay for a few days until my business is done, and it won’t affect your life and work.”

Jiang Yan’s face changed unpredictably. She didn’t expect this to be Yang Jian’s truth.

“Will you still help me in the future?” After hesitating for a long time, she wanted to leave, but she never got off the bed.

Yang Jian said directly, “No, I don’t have the right or obligation to save you, or anyone else. The incident in the mall was just because you were lucky enough to encounter me trying to make money by solving paranormal events.”

“But… I don’t want to die. I want to live, and live well.” Jiang Yan curled up carefully in Yang Jian’s arms.

“Ghosts will still appear in the future, right?”

“Yes, there will be more paranormal events.”

Yang Jian didn’t conceal it and said, “It’s estimated that people all over the world will know about it in the future, but most people are still in the dark. No one knows when they will die, maybe a phone call, maybe a knock on the door, or maybe in their sleep.”

“If I sleep with you, will you help me?” Jiang Yan didn’t dare to look at that eye.

“No.” Yang Jian was very straightforward.

Jiang Yan asked, “Then how can you help me?”

“You have to be useful to me, help me with some things, assist me with some work, just like you helped me watch the surveillance video in the mall. Then I will protect you and keep you from being killed. This is an equivalent exchange.”

“Saving people meaninglessly will only harm oneself.”

“Can you do finance, especially stocks?” Yang Jian asked.

“Yes, I have experience in trading when I was an intern,” Jiang Yan replied.

“Do you know how to contact big clients?”

“Yes, I have some high-quality client resources. If you want to do business in the paranormal field, I can also help you.”

“What about translation?”

“I have no problem translating English.”

“I didn’t expect you to be a workplace elite.” Yang Jian was a little surprised.

He had to admit that this woman was indeed very capable, exceeding his expectations.

Of course, there is also the possibility of exaggeration.

“If you don’t want to go to work temporarily, you can work for me. There are indeed some things that I need you to do. In addition to salary, I will provide you with corresponding protection.” Yang Jian said seriously.

He can try to build a team.

After all, if he becomes a criminal investigator in the future, he cannot go it alone.

“Really?” Jiang Yan looked surprised.

It seems that Yang Jian is not as intimidating as she thought.

“Just try it. I don’t have experience in this area yet.” Yang Jian said, “It’s late, I’m going to sleep.”

The feeling of paralysis began to fade away.

This time was much better than the last time.

It seems that the red paper is still working.But the exhaustion of his mind made him fall asleep early.

Jiang Yan looked at Yang Jian, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, she gradually leaned on his chest and fell asleep.
