Mysterious Awakening

Lin Long was very unlucky.

He was scolded in confusion and locked up in that dark and oppressive environment for over half an hour. If he wasn't a bit special as a ghost master, he would have suffocated to death by now.

But in that half hour, he truly despaired. The feeling of being buried alive and getting no response could drive a person insane even in a minute.

Moreover, unbeknownst to him, Yang Jian had sold him out.

The price was very nice.

If Lin Long had known his own worth, he probably would have wanted to sell himself.

As for his ending, it wasn't very pleasant.

Yang Jian dug him out from underground, and without even opening the box or letting him out, he was carried out of the conference room, straight onto a transport plane, without knowing where he was being sent to, giving him a desolate feeling as if he was about to be abandoned in the wilderness.

"That's the consequence of courting death. One definitely should not learn from Lin Long," everyone thought to themselves.

Yang Jian finished his action report, and Wang Xiaoming also made a summary of the incident. He did not ramble like Yang Jian but rationally outlined the horror of the S-class supernatural event, urging the others to be extremely cautious, as this was not an event that one person could handle.

Of course, if anyone still chose to believe Yang Jian, then they deserved the pitfall over death.

The headquarters of the ghost masters did not accommodate fools.

After this meeting, all the ghost masters began to reassess Yang Jian.

Not to mention his achievements, no matter how great they were, but the fact that he easily solved the ghost master Lin Long, directly repelled the special forces captain Li Jun, and extended the Ghost Domain by ten thousand meters, these significant data points were evident.

This young man was extremely formidable.

Not to say the strongest, but he was certainly among the top tier of ghost masters globally, and if there were a ranking of ghost masters, Ghost Eye Yang Jian would definitely be on the list.

"After this meeting, I will be returning to J city. You will not see me, this annoying face, for a long time, and I will not have to see you. Before that, do you have anything to add?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Jian at this moment.

His face showed no emotion, only calmness.

After all, Yang Jian had personally killed his only blood brother, Wang Xiaoqiang.

Though he knew his brother had made serious mistakes, Wang Xiaoming still did not wish to see such an outcome.

But since it had happened, Wang Xiaoming could only suppress his feelings and silently go back to hold a funeral for his own brother.

"I have nothing to say, just remember, within two months, I want to see the two Ghost Candles in front of me. Also, you owe me a chance to control a fierce ghost. Although I don't need it right now, I will need it later... Come to think of it, you owe me too much. When I need it, I will come to collect my debt. Here is some information, deal with it yourself." Yang Jian tossed over a prepared document.

Wang Xiaoming opened it and found several photos inside.

The pictures, taken with a mobile phone, were not very clear and somewhat dim, but one could still make out in this shadowy environment a White Bone Tree taking root eerily, with a three-meter tall black human silhouette, head facing down, nailed to the trunk by a nail.

Though he had never seen that nail before, Wang Xiaoming immediately guessed that it was the Coffin Nail that Yang Jian always mentioned.

It was the real object that restricted the Hungry Ghost, a very mysterious item.

From the pictures, the White Bone Tree, as well as the tall human silhouette, are more likely high-level fierce ghosts, and the Coffin Nail is an important tool for detaining these entities.

"No wonder someone like you would consider whether to detain the Hungry Ghost and release these ghostly entities. Where did you get these things from? Is there such a place in Dachang City?" Wang Xiaoming lifted his head, emotionlessly pocketed the photos.

Yang Jian said, "Where it used to be no longer matters, everything in this photo has already vanished, not at the original location."

"I'll make a risk assessment and then report it up, this is not just your issue, but a matter for the entire Ghost Hunter Headquarters." Wang Xiaoming said.

"Professor Wang, what is it?" Zhao Jianguo leaned in, wanting to ask.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Some potential dangers that are of great concern, you'll find out later, it's confidential for now."

Zhao Jianguo stopped asking.

Vice Minister Cao Yanhua concluded this meeting, smiling he said, "The Dachang City incident was resolved thanks to Yang Jian, as well as Professor Wang's substantial assistance. Everyone's support in the follow-up was also arduous. In the future, we hope our Ghost Hunters will put more effort into the safety of Asia. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks on behalf of the headquarters..."

Yang Jian had no intention of listening to the subsequent niceties, having done everything he needed to do at the meeting.

He had made his appearance among other ghost hunters and had reported the Coffin Nail issue as well.

What remained was nothing more than taking a trip to J city one day to accept the recognition and receive the award; but none of that mattered much, he would treat it as a leisurely tour to relax when the time came.

"Now that everything's settled, I'm going back to sleep." After the meeting ended, Yang Jian stood up, ready to leave.

Others looked at Yang Jian, and just as someone was about to suggest a group dinner to bond, they saw Yang Jian heading straight for the exit and held back their words.

Speaking up would surely be met with rejection, as Yang Jian was not the sociable type.

"Yang Jian, wait a second."

However, the young troublemaker, Xiong Wenwen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly piped up.

"Hmm? Could it be this brat has a problem with Yang Jian and wants to pick a quarrel?" Others became curious at this development.

The spoiled brat respected no one, having outright cursed everyone at the meeting, calling them trash and useless. If it weren't for him being a child, they wouldn't have let him off so easily.

Yang Jian looked back and said, "Kid, what is it?"

"I want to ask you, do you have a girlfriend right now?" Xiong Wenwen asked, eyes spinning.

"That's my personal business, best not to ask so many questions, kid." Yang Jian replied.

Xiong Wenwen said, "If you don't have a girlfriend, I can introduce you to my mom, and just so you know, my mom is a real beauty, a true knockout."

"You mean... you want me to be your stepdad?" Yang Jian asked thoughtfully.

"Pfft~!"

Upon hearing this, a ghost hunter who was drinking water sprayed it out immediately.

Xiong Wenwen's face turned red, and for a moment, he didn't know how to retort.

Yang Jian said, "I don't have a problem with it, just not sure if your dad would agree."

He had seen those who betrayed their fathers, and those who betrayed their sons, but never one who would betray their mother.

"His dad died in a paranormal event, and now he's from a single-parent family."

Zhao Jianguo, holding back his laughter, came over and said, "A mother in her early thirties is still young, remarrying is quite normal. You could indeed give it some thought since you're an excellent catch. Even abroad, bagging some royal princess wouldn't be a problem for you."

"So that's the situation." Yang Jian seemed to understand.
