Chapter 72

"Would you think I would tell you just because you ask? I won't disclose any client information; that's the rule in our line of work," Hao Shaowen said.

"The rules can be changed," Yang Jian said.

"Those who break the rules end up very badly," Hao Shaowen said.

Yang Jian pointed to the countdown on his phone: "How can you be sure that you won't end up badly in my hands? It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk; I can ask others."

He shifted his gaze to the others.

"Do you know who sent you to deal with Yan Li and me? Whoever speaks up, I'll let them go, but there's only one spot. I hope you cherish it."

However, the men in suits were all like mute, not saying a word.

"We've all signed confidentiality agreements. You might as well not waste your time trying to get information from us... Your ability is quite special, but since you've become a ghost master, you should know your life won't be long. How about this: I'll give up this job, and we'll pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Hao Shaowen's face was heavy; he vaguely felt that this Yang Jian was very difficult to handle.

Moreover, he was very cunning, like a little wolf pup. He looked like a dog, but if you really got close, he would bite a piece out of you.

Yang Jian looked at him strangely and said, "You came to my door, beat up my business partner, nailed him to the ground in a crucifixion pose, tried to kidnap my family, and extort my belongings... After all that, you want me to pretend nothing happened?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"The first question doesn't matter if you don't want to answer. Yan Li and I will find out on our own, but before that, I hope to make you understand one thing."

"Who is in charge here now."

After saying that, he looked at the living room lights.

"Zzzz~!"

A slight electric hum sounded, and the white light in front of him suddenly changed color.

It turned a light red.

Under the red light, the entire living room was bathed in a red glow, as if a bar lighting designer had intentionally set it up.

However, this red light not only enveloped the living room. When Hao Shaowen inadvertently glanced out the window, he saw that the entire world outside was red.

The surroundings were silent, faintly revealing a sense of eeriness.

"So, who should we start with?" Yang Jian slowly stood up from the sofa, his gaze scanning these people.

At that moment, Yan Li, who was nailed to the ground, saw this red-lit world and his face changed.

Ghost Domain.

He didn't expect Yang Jian to actually use the Ghost Domain. It seemed he was serious.

"Hao Shaowen, I advise you to cooperate with Yang Jian. Otherwise, the consequences will be very severe. He and I are not the same kind. His ghosts... are unsolvable entities," Yan Li said.

He seemed to be persuading them, but in reality, he was helping Yang Jian achieve his goal.

One playing the good cop, the other the bad cop, it was the best strategy.

Whether they could leave the Ghost Domain or not entirely depended on Yang Jian's mood. This was not something ordinary people could handle.

Unsolvable ghosts?

Hao Shaowen sneered, "There are no unsolvable abilities in my eyes. As long as you are human, there is a way to deal with you."

As he spoke, a gun suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive shots were fired at Yang Jian's forehead and chest.

At such close range, there was no way to miss.

"Thud~!"

The next moment, Yang Jian, who had just stood up, immediately fell to the ground, blood quickly flowing out.

Dead?

Hao Shaowen's gaze sharpened, but he wasn't overly excited.

However, before he could check, the red light in front of him flickered slightly.

He found that the body on the ground, convulsing and bleeding, had turned into one of his subordinates.

Yang Jian had disappeared again.

"Boss, what's going on? Why is it Zhao Gang who died? He was just over there a moment ago..." one of the subordinates was startled and quickly looked at his companion.

The person next to him had somehow turned into Yang Jian.

Yang Jian grinned at him.

It looked innocent and harmless, but it carried a strange and terrifying aura.

"You're the first," Yang Jian suddenly grabbed his neck and pushed him forward.

Bang~!

Hao Shaowen fired a shot in return.

Yang Jian fell to the ground again.

However, the body on the ground turned into another subordinate.

In a short time, three people had died at his hands.

Hao Shaowen's face was expressionless, still very cold: "Come out, if you have the guts."

"Ding~!"

The next moment, a bullet fell from the ceiling onto his head.

The bullet was golden and shiny, not brass, but specially made of gold.

"A bullet made of gold? You're well-prepared, but unfortunately for you, you've run into me today." Yang Jian slowly walked out from the adjacent bedroom.

His face was calm, with a strange and eerie expression.

Hao Shaowen immediately raised his gun.

But at that moment, he stopped, not pulling the trigger.

"Why aren't you shooting? You have three bullets left, and you have three subordinates left. One bullet for each, you'll be a god in no time. Do you want me to give you a reward?" Yang Jian smiled.

"Illusion? You're not real, your true form is hidden in this room. The ability to make people hallucinate is indeed tricky, but it's not impossible to deal with."

Hao Shaowen's face was very grim: "Your ability is strong, but it has its weaknesses."

"As long as I don't act recklessly, no one will get hurt. You can only kill through others."

"How can you be sure your guess is correct? What if I'm lying to you?"

At that moment, the two subordinates beside him were completely panicked: "Boss, look, what's happening to him?"

The subordinate who had been pushed by Yang Jian was now half-embedded in the wall, merging with it. This fusion was clearly forced, and the person was convulsing, spitting out blood, and rolling his eyes, looking like he was about to die.

Hao Shaowen's eyes narrowed.

This... isn't an illusion.

"Sorry, I went a bit too hard, but I swear I just gave him a little push, just a light one. How could he die from that?"

Yang Jian looked at the dead man and sighed, "I didn't expect ordinary people to be so fragile. I'll be more careful next time."

"So, let's get back to the topic. I'll ask again, who exactly are you working for?"

"Big brother, we're just employees. We don't know who took the job; only the boss knows."

One of the subordinates no longer held his ground, his face full of fear. This person was more terrifying than Yan Li.

Killing people was as easy and casual as eating and drinking for him.

It was like playing with lab mice.

"Indeed, the root of the problem is still with you. That's why I didn't kill you at the beginning. Besides wanting to see how you deal with ghost masters, I also hoped to get the information I wanted," Yang Jian said with a look of confirmation.

"Friend, are you really not going to say anything now?"

He then looked at Hao Shaowen.

"Even if you don't talk, don't forget that besides you, Wu Feng also knows. I didn't have time to ask him before, but if you're willing to die, I won't waste time. After all, you're busy, rushing to reincarnate."

"..."

Hao Shaowen, though ruthless, was in a difficult situation now.

Yang Jian's ability was indeed... unsolvable.

He should take back his previous words.

Compared to humans, Yang Jian's actions were more like a ghost.

Unpredictable, impenetrable, and untargetable.

"I just take the jobs. We don't care who hires us, but I can tell you that the client is from Yan Li's club, and the information was provided by that person." Hao Shaowen took a deep breath.

If he didn't give some information, he wouldn't be able to leave here today.

Club?

Hearing this, Yan Li was stunned.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes: "The people in the club are all ghost masters. So, someone is targeting Yan Li?"

"No, while most members of the club are ghost masters, there are also some top local tycoons. Sometimes they hire ghost masters to solve supernatural incidents or even as bodyguards, but there aren't many who can afford this price and are interested in ghosts," Hao Shaowen said.

"How much do you get for this job?"

Hao Shaowen said, "Fifty million gold."

"That's quite a lot." Yang Jian's eyelid twitched.

A ghost sells for one hundred million, but hiring Hao Shaowen cost fifty million gold. After the exchange rate conversion, the price difference was more than three times.

It seems... Yan Li was underpriced.

There might be some middlemen involved.

"What is that experiment? A method to prevent ghost masters from dying when ghosts revive?"

Yang Jian continued, "One minute, no, forty seconds. Which of you three answers will leave. Remember, I'm in charge now, and you have no choice."

His Ghost Domain's time was running out.

It was time to resolve this matter completely.
