Chapter 52

Thought the storeroom was temporarily safe.

No one expected that a ghost had been following them all along.

If not for Yang Jian's reminder, they would not have noticed this, and the consequences would be obvious.

None of these people would be able to get out alive, even including the ghost tamer... Yan Li.

A ghost tamer possesses the power of a fierce ghost, but it is not omnipotent. Using the power of a fierce ghost recklessly would only lead to a quicker death.

Yang Jian saw the young man named Yan Li at this moment.

His complexion was not good, pale and weak from excessive blood loss.

But what Yang Jian was more concerned about was what kind of ghost was hidden inside Yan Li's body? Had his body's limit been reached? How long before the fierce ghost revived?

"You... are human?"

Yan Li did not panic like the others. Instead, he stopped immediately after running out of the storeroom and looked at Yang Jian with a serious expression.

He was still unsure whether the entire security guard in front of him was human or a ghost.

Yang Jian said, "I should be considered human. I heard you call yourself Yan Li? Are you a ghost tamer?"

Yan Li's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you too?"

"I am a member of the International Police."

Yang Jian thought for a moment and decided to bluff, he couldn't tell others he was just a student.

That would be too undignified, and the operator Liu Xiaoyu also wanted to recruit him into the International Police.

"International Police?"

Yan Li looked at Yang Jian again. Seeing him in a security guard uniform, it seemed plausible. When he saw the satellite positioning wristband on his chest, he believed it.

"I heard the International Police are severely understaffed, with less than one police officer per city nationwide. The previous International Police officer in Dachang City was Zhou Zheng. What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Jian. By the way, Zhou Zheng is dead, he sacrificed himself a few days ago in a high school incident," Yang Jian said calmly.

Yan Li replied, "I see. Thank you for your help just now. I wonder how you managed to resist the attacks of so many fierce ghosts? Even a ghost tamer would be at a disadvantage in such a situation. I initially thought the missing people in the mall were due to a C-level fierce ghost, but now it seems I severely underestimated the situation."

"I shouldn't have been greedy for the money if I had known this."

He showed a look of regret, feeling remorseful about his actions.

"What ability do you rely on to survive the attacks of these fierce ghosts?"

Yang Jian did not reveal his own ability but instead asked him.

Yan Li did not hide it. He looked down at his blood-stained hands and said, "People on the street call me Ghost Blood Yan Li. My hands are stained with ghost blood, which can limit the abilities of other ghosts. I once successfully captured a ghost in collaboration with others, but my ghost blood cannot stay outside for too long, or ghosts will emerge from the blood..."

"Wait, you said you successfully captured a ghost in collaboration with others?"

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed, showing surprise, "What method did you use?"

Can ghosts be captured?

"It's a simple and brutal method. I used ghost blood to restrict the ghost's movements. As long as it is sealed in a pure gold box within a short time, as long as it is sealed tightly enough, the ghost cannot escape."

Yan Li said, "This is a universal method worldwide. As a police officer, you must know this."

"I am an intern, not a full-time officer," Yang Jian said.

He indeed remembered the paper he had seen on a website before.

It was written by a professor named Bruce Pi.

The paper's main content was that the power of ghosts can affect all matter but cannot affect gold. The professor used scientific and rigorous methods to analyze and find ways to counteract ghosts.

If the paper was correct, a gold box could indeed imprison and capture ghosts.

But that was all. It still could not kill or destroy them.

"Help, help!"

At this moment, a terrified cry interrupted their conversation.

Yang Jian saw that the ghosts with swapped heads were now surrounding them from all sides, blocking every passage.

Unless they jumped directly from the fifth floor, there was no way to escape.

But jumping from the fifth floor would be suicide.

Mr. Tang, Manager Li, Master Luo, and the others were now crying and retreating, unable to escape.

"What method do you have to resist the attacks of so many ghosts?"

Yan Li was also panicking, "If this continues, even if you are an International Police officer, you will die here. Using too much of a fierce ghost's power will lead to death, you must know this."

"Of course, I know."

Yang Jian said calmly, "You have already used a lot of the fierce ghost's power, even the ghost blood on your hands is hard to control. Your limit is almost reached. Have you bought a coffin in advance?"

"I understand what you mean, but sometimes to survive, there is no other choice," Yan Li said through gritted teeth.

"Sometimes there is no other choice, but you first consider using your fierce ghost's power to deal with ghosts, which will only lead to a quicker death. I am different. I rely on my mind. When my mind is no longer useful, I will use the ghost's power. But now is not the time to chat. I cannot let this boss die like this." Yang Jian pointed to his head and smiled slightly.

After saying that, he walked towards a group of ghosts not far away.

Yan Li's face changed drastically. Even he would not dare to face so many ghosts at once. This young police officer had such courage?

Moreover, seeing the others surrounded by ghosts, he had already decided not to save them, only thinking about how to leave.

This money is not worth risking his life.

Suddenly.

Yan Li saw Yang Jian trip them as he walked past.

With a few strange cries, three or four people were tripped.

Are you saving them or harming them?

Yan Li was stunned.

"Don't move if you don't want to die. Lie still on the ground, and the ghosts won't attack you. You will survive. If you run, you will die faster." Yang Jian grabbed Mr. Tang's collar and shouted at him.

Mr. Tang was already terrified and didn't know what to do. The ghosts were already in front of him.

He had no choice.

He immediately closed his eyes tightly, chose to believe Yang Jian, and lay still on the ground.

Lying on the ground meant his back was always facing the ground, which could perfectly avoid attacks from any direction.

"Those who don't want to die, do the same. Lie down and don't move," Yang Jian said again.

Some people listened and lay down, but more people thought Yang Jian was talking nonsense. Lying down was like waiting to die, so they still ran in terror, trying to escape.

"Hey, that's the fifth floor. Don't jump, you'll die," Yang Jian shouted at one person.

A man accompanying Master Luo was so scared that he cried and panicked, directly jumping over the railing from the fifth floor.

A brave man.

Yang Jian sighed inwardly.

Not jumping might have given him a chance to survive, but jumping was a sure death.

The people who ran didn't fare much better.

Soon, the few who ran found their paths blocked.

The ghosts surrounding them from all sides were getting closer and closer... until they were surrounded.

"Ahhh!" A scream echoed among the ghosts.

As six or seven decaying arms reached out, the screams immediately stopped.

Several heads were forcibly torn off.

A ghost took off its own head and placed it on their necks, then placed their heads on its own neck.

New ghosts were born.

After all this, everything around them returned to calm.

All the ghosts... stopped moving.

The remaining people lying on the ground were not attacked and all survived.

"How is this possible?"

Yan Li was shocked. He also lay down but now looked at Yang Jian as if he had seen a ghost.

Yang Jian did not lie down. He just stood there, leaning against the railing, not facing any ghosts.

"How about that, didn't I deceive you?"

Yang Jian said, "Congratulations, you survived. If you don't mind, let's settle the labor fees. I should warn you, my fees are very high."

Why did he go through all the trouble and risk to save these despicable rich people?

Of course, it was for money.

Don't think Yang Jian loves them.
