"Is everything settled?"

Yan Li, lying on the ground, watched as Hao Shaowen and his group disappeared from the house, looking at Yang Jian with some surprise.

"Jesus, just shut up. You're really weak. As a ghost controller, being nailed to the ground and beaten up by a bunch of people like this, if this gets out, it would be a huge embarrassment for me as a ghost controller," Yang Jian said, sitting on the sofa and eating a Kinder egg with a small spoon.

"By the way, it's chocolate-flavored. Do you want some?"

He held the plastic spoon and scooped a bit, extending it towards Yan Li.

"......Can't you at least let me go first?" Yan Li said.

"Just wait a bit. I need to wait until the thing inside me calms down. I can't be sure if touching your blood will stimulate it," Yang Jian said with his eyes closed.

He seemed to be enjoying the delicious treat, but in reality, he felt the eye inside his body writhing, and something strange was brewing.

This feeling......it was the ghost reviving.

"The red paper is no longer effective. Unless we can get that red newspaper from the ghost again......but finding a hidden ghost in a city is extremely difficult, and we can't be sure if that ghost is still in Dachang City."

Yang Jian looked at the red paper that was now completely torn.

The red paper fell to the ground, completely useless, and finally dissipated like ash.

"The newspaper is just a medium; the ghost's power contained within it is the true reason for suppressing my ghost eye's revival. But the power left on it is too weak, so after a few suppressions, it became completely useless."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered: "It seems Hao Shaowen was right."

"Indeed, a ghost can suppress another ghost......just like Yan Li can suppress the headless ghost shadow, but there are some uncertain variables involved."

As he thought, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

It was as if his heart was being torn apart, deep to the bone.

Something forcibly ripped open a wound in his chest.

A blood-red eye emerged.

This was the seventh eye that had grown on his body.

"Isn't it too early for this to start?"

Seeing his painful expression, Yan Li's heart raced, and he urgently said, "If it's about to revive, quickly let me go. I don't want to deal with the ghost inside you."

Yang Jian, now sweating and breathing heavily, said, "I won't die just yet......but the boundary I set has been breached. This will significantly shorten my revival time. Although I can't be sure, it should be within a month."

A ghost that can create a ghost domain is indeed terrifying.

How many times has he used the ghost domain?

He could count it on his fingers, but just a few times, the red paper's suppression failed, and then the eyes started growing.

From now on, the revival speed will only get faster.

"Sorry, if it weren't for my mistake, you wouldn't be in such a serious condition," Yan Li said apologetically.

Because of him, Yang Jian had to use his ability one more time.

"Are you kidding? Is it your fault? Whether to come here or use the ability was my decision. As an adult, I have to take responsibility," Yang Jian said, shaking his body and standing up.

He picked up the baton and pried out the nails from Yan Li's hands.

"Besides, if I don't seek trouble, trouble will find me. Dealing with Hao Shaowen and his group will save us a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if he captures my family and threatens me, the situation will only get worse......since it's a matter of life and death, I might as well fight with all my might."

After removing the last nail, Yan Li was free.

"What do you plan to do?"

Yan Li stood up, his body covered in fresh blood, and his previous wounds were healing rapidly.

Yang Jian glanced at him.

This should be a special ability of Yan Li's ghost blood, no wonder Hao Shaowen couldn't kill him no matter how many times he tried.

"I'm going to check out your club and make a few calls."

Yang Jian suddenly placed a phone on the table.

Hao Shaowen's phone.

"Also......I don't plan to spare anyone on this contact list. I won't leave any enemies who could harm my family. As the ancients say, when cutting grass, you must remove the roots. I will not only remove the roots but also dig up the soil. Most of the people on this list are in the same industry, and even if there are a few innocents, it doesn't matter."

Yang Jian's demeanor became increasingly cold, and his eyes glowed with a faint red light.

"Better to err on the side of caution. If these pests aren't eliminated, our families will suffer."

Yan Li was somewhat surprised: "How is this possible? In our current state, who knows how many times we can use the ghost's power."

He could see that Yang Jian was more deeply influenced by the ghost.

But he didn't oppose Yang Jian's almost brutal method.

Who made the first move, and the mastermind is still alive.

The plan was good, but the implementation was too difficult.

"One of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is 'killing with a borrowed knife.'"

Yang Jian said, "I know a ghost, a bit terrifying. I plan to have that ghost kill the people on this contact list. If they can survive the ghost's attack, then......they are lucky."

"Do you know the ghost's behavior pattern?"

"Sort of," Yang Jian said.

Yan Li took a deep breath, looking at him in shock.

He didn't expect Yang Jian to have such a move. Just having a ghost domain was terrifying enough, and he could also use other ghosts to do his bidding.

"But the phone is locked with a password." Yang Jian tried to unlock the phone but needed a password.

"What do we do?"

"It's fine. I know a phone shop owner who can crack this. I'll handle this, and you go and contact the buyer," Yang Jian said.

"Wait, are you really planning to sell that ghost? Hao Shaowen said that controlling two ghosts could extend the revival time. This headless ghost was hard to catch, why not keep it and try?"

"I've already thought about it. I don't plan to sell it for real. I plan to sell a fake," Yang Jian suddenly said.

"This isn't for money, but to use this opportunity to access some things we can't normally reach."

"Hao Shaowen's method is only a rough outline, lacking specific details. You wouldn't be so reckless as to use the headless ghost to try, right? If the headless ghost takes over your body, it will not only be released but also control the ghost inside you, making it an even more terrifying ghost."

"I didn't think that far," Yan Li said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Someone has succeeded, and someone has studied it. If there are studies, there will be patterns, and if there are patterns, there will be solutions. The ghost we have is a stepping stone, a bargaining chip to get a specific plan. Although our time is limited, it's not that urgent yet."

After saying that, Yang Jian looked at him and asked, "When can you contact the buyer?"

"Tomorrow night," Yan Li said.

"Good, tomorrow night. I'll wait for your call."

Yang Jian put away the baton and the gun left by Hao Shaowen and immediately left.

Before leaving, he added, "If you mess up again, don't say you know me. Just have someone else take care of your body."
