Chapter 71 – Countdown


“…”

They thought they had encountered a terrifying paranormal event.

When everyone saw that it was actually a person walking out, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

“I knew you were disappointed when you saw me. You expected a ghost to come out, not a person.” Yang Jian walked out of the room with a smile on his face.

“Who are you?” Hao Shaowen’s face darkened slightly, immediately asking.

He did not relax his guard because of Yang Jian. At this time, the person who came out of the room must have a problem, because it had been checked before and there was only Yan Li in the entire rental house.

Yang Jian glanced around and said, “I heard someone trying to kidnap my family outside the door before and planned to extort and rob me with this. Am I wrong? Yes, it’s you, the tallest one.”

He looked at Hao Shaowen.

“I’m talking to you, kid. Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me.” Hao Shaowen finished speaking and gestured to the people next to him.

Immediately, two adult men with unfriendly faces walked towards Yang Jian.

They seemed to be ready to take action.

However, strange things happened.

These two adult men seemed to have not seen Yang Jian in front of them and continued to walk into the room.

“I am curious. Knowing that there are paranormal events and fierce ghosts in this world, and there are also people who can control ghosts, why do some people still dare to provoke us? Friends, don’t mind explaining it to me?” Yang Jian closed the door casually.

The two men disappeared into the room without any sound.

“No? I seem to have seen your photo… You are the newcomer, Yang Jian, right?” Suddenly, Hao Shaowen remembered the information on the file.

Isn’t this person in front of him the new ghost controller who had contact with Yan Li?

Yang Jian said, “You just remembered now. Your memory is not very good. But let’s continue with the previous question. Why do you do this?”

“Why do you think? Of course, it’s for money.”

Hao Shaowen sneered, “Before there were no paranormal events in the world, people dared to rob and kill for money. Not to mention now. Do you know how profitable our job is? Even if it’s you ghost controllers or even real ghosts, as long as the money is in place, we dare to do anything.””A million to buy your life may seem like too little, but ten million to make someone commit suicide, there are plenty of people in this world willing to do it. Don’t underestimate the lure of money.”

“You’re still in your third year of high school, the cruelty of society is beyond your imagination. Most normal people will never come into contact with the dark side of the world, so don’t blame me for being heartless. If you want to blame someone, blame Yan Li for not being able to hold onto this huge benefit. Of course, you don’t have the ability either. Coming here today was the stupidest thing you could have done.”

Yang Jian frowned and looked at Yan Li, who was nailed to the ground and covered in blood. To be honest, he was very uncomfortable. Especially since these people had their sights set on him.

“Are you trying to provoke me?”

He looked away and a cut opened up on the back of his hand, revealing a crimson eye.

“I’m not trying to provoke you, I’m just telling you a fact, I’m going to buy that box today, otherwise neither of you will leave here.” Hao Shaowen pulled out a flail from his waist and swung it casually, the flail extending.

“Made of gold?” Yang Jian glanced at it.

Hao Shaowen said, “It’s specifically designed to deal with you ghost tamers, only this way can we hurt you things that are neither human nor ghost.”

“Gold is just immune to the power of fierce ghosts. Do you really think you can completely restrain ghost tamers? Aren’t you being a little naive?” Yang Jian chuckled. “Do you really think that dealing with Yan Li will solve all your problems? You guys really don’t know what ghost tamers are capable of.”

“It seems that you’re the one who doesn’t understand the cruelty of this world, not me.”

“You don’t dare to solve supernatural incidents for money, you only dare to use some ugly means to rob and extort those who have finally managed to control fierce ghosts. You guys… are worse than beasts.”

Hao Shaowen sneered, “This is our profession. You expect us to have a conscience? How naive. Attack, subdue this guy first.”

He was just stalling for time.

The people behind him were already preparing in secret.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone had a delicate crossbow in their hands.

And almost at the same time, all the crossbows shot out specially made arrows, each arrow connected to a gold thread.

The gold thread was also special, with extremely strong toughness and the characteristics of gold.As long as it hits, the golden thread can even trap a ghost. This is a combat plan developed by foreign countries. It was originally used by some special forces to deal with fierce ghosts, but it was found to be particularly effective against ghost tamers after it spread. It has little effect on ghosts. So, people like them learned this method.

“Whoosh~!”

The arrow flew and immediately pierced Yang Jian’s body.

With the hooked arrow stuck in his flesh, the golden thread behind it immediately tightened.

Six or seven arrows were pinned to his body, all pulled tightly. Yang Jian fell to the ground instantly.

“You dare to come here with just this ability? You’re looking for death.”

Hao Shaowen walked over with a cold face, and his slingshot hit the back of Yang Jian’s head.

The strength was surprisingly great, leaving no room for mercy.

Immediately, Yang Jian’s head was smashed, and blood gushed out. His body twitched and he stopped breathing.

“Dead?” Hao Shaowen was stunned.

Why did he die with just one hit, while Yan Li was so resistant to beatings?

“No, this is not Yang Jian.”

Then he blinked, and saw that the person lying on the ground was one of his subordinates who had disappeared before entering the room.

“When did this happen?”

“Clap, clap~!”

Yang Jian was sitting on the sofa at some point, applauding and laughing. “Wonderful, really wonderful. Just now, you operated smoothly, pretended to delay time and let your subordinates prepare, then hit with one blow, and immediately subdued him. You are indeed experienced professionals. I have seen how you deal with ghost tamers.”

“Well, I’ll remember it and be more prepared in the future.”

“Did you do this?” Hao Shaowen’s face looked particularly ugly.

This Yang Jian’s fierce ghost ability seemed a bit tricky.

Is it an illusion?

Or can it change people’s thinking?

Or can it find a substitute?

There is too little information, and it is impossible to guess.

“Now I don’t want to tell you. My time is limited, three minutes… You have only three minutes. I have a few questions to ask you. If you answer well, you can live. If you answer poorly… Sorry, you can also live, but it will be in hell. Also, don’t try to delay time. When time is up, I will automatically choose for you.”

Yang Jian’s face also turned cold. He had seen how ruthless these people were.

They killed a person in less than ten seconds.If it were him, he would have fallen too without prior preparation.

No wonder Yan Li fell into the hands of these people.

The flaw in his ghost blood is too big. It’s very effective against fierce ghosts, but it seems useless against humans.

However, in this world, not only do you have to deal with ghosts, but also with humans.

“Now, the countdown begins. The first question… who are you working for? Hmm, that’s not correct to ask. It makes it seem like there’s a hidden mastermind behind this. Let me rephrase it. Whose money did you earn from this deal?”

As he spoke, he took out his phone and placed it on the coffee table. The screen showed a three-minute countdown.

This was the life countdown that Yang Jian had set for these people.
