"Are you really going to solve that ghostly incident for that company? I think the risk is too high, it's not worth it. Even if we help them solve the ghostly incident, whether we can get a way to delay the ghost's revival is still unknown."
The car stopped in front of a residential area.
After getting out of the car, Yan Li seriously reminded him.
"Do you lean towards selling that box and splitting the money?" Yang Jian looked at him and asked.
Yan Li was a bit embarrassed: "Isn't this the most stable method?"
"Do you not want to live?" Yang Jian asked.
"Even if we temporarily delay the ghost's revival, what about after that? We will still die, won't we? Even if we don't die from the ghost's revival, we might die when we encounter ghosts in the future."
"I'm different from you. You are young, a newcomer, and have the capital to take risks. As for me... to be honest, I have already accepted this outcome. I won't hide it from you, I have already arranged my posthumous affairs, I just need a large sum of money." Yan Li said, somewhat retreating.
Yang Jian pondered.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Yan Li's words.
This kind of fatalistic, cautious thinking was very reasonable, and he had thought the same way before.
"Since that's the case, you don't need to go after three days. I'll entrust this to you for safekeeping. After three days, once I leave, you find another buyer and sell it. The money, as agreed, will be split equally." Yang Jian took out the golden box and handed it to Yan Li.
"How can this be?" Yan Li was somewhat surprised.
Yang Jian said, "I also need to make preparations. What if I don't come back after leaving this time... If I come back, I will naturally know the way to survive. If I don't come back, you handle this thing according to our previous agreement."
"Don't go through the club's channels. I think there's something wrong with that Xiaoqiang Club. Find another buyer."
"I... understand."
Yan Li nodded and didn't refuse anymore.
Yang Jian said, "By the way, how did Hao Shaowen get those special weapons? This gun is out of bullets, I want to get some. They might not be effective against ghosts, but they are very effective against ghost masters. Even if I can't kill the ghost, killing the person is the same. I think this ghostly incident will attract many ghost masters, and I don't want to deal with other ghost masters while dealing with ghosts."
"I don't know Hao Shaowen's channel, but I know a website where you can buy them. Although I haven't bought anything from it, others have, so it should be reliable." Yan Li said.
"Why? Didn't you think about buying some weapons for self-defense before?" Yang Jian asked.
Of course, this self-defense was mainly to protect against people, not ghosts.
Using the ghost's power to deal with ordinary people or other ghost masters is a waste, so self-defense weapons are necessary.
Yan Li was a bit embarrassed, "It's a bit expensive, I didn't want to buy it. Come to my house and sit down, I'll show you how to operate it later."
Soon.
Yan Li brought Yang Jian to a villa in the residential area.
"Nice, living in a villa." Yang Jian said.
"Recently bought, all the money I earned before was spent on it." Yan Li said.
As soon as they entered the villa courtyard, they saw a boy and a girl playing with water guns. The girl, although older, couldn't match the mischievous boy and was chased around, drenched in water.
"Daddy, Daddy, brother is bullying me again." The little girl saw Yan Li and immediately hid behind him.
"Dongdong, you're not listening again, how can you bully your sister like that? Give the toy back." Yan Li deliberately scolded.
"Daddy is going to hit me, Daddy is going to hit me."
This little boy named Dongdong was scared and ran into the house.
Yang Jian looked and said, "Your daughter?"
"Six years old, how is she, isn't she cute?" Yan Li patted his daughter's head and smiled.
"Indeed, she is very cute, but your son seems to be a bit afraid of you." Yang Jian said.
Yan Li said, "After becoming a ghost master, I rarely come back, and I never stay overnight at home, afraid that the ghost might come out if I sleep too early. It's normal for my son to be a bit distant from me."
"How did you become a ghost master?" Yang Jian asked.
"It was an accident. I used to be a plumber. When I was rewiring a house that was about sixty years old, I accidentally drilled through the wall with a drill." Yan Li said, "After that, fresh blood kept flowing out of the hole in the wall."
"At the time, I didn't know about ghostly incidents and had no precautions, so I curiously touched it."
At this point, he smiled bitterly, "Curiosity killed the cat. The blood seeped into my body as soon as it touched my skin... Since then, ghost blood has flowed in my body."
"The hand is the source, the body is the container. The more I use the ghost's power, the more ghost blood there is in my body. Now, I can feel my body gradually becoming abnormal, as if the container is about to overflow."
Yang Jian said, "Would it be better to let some blood out?"
"No, absolutely not. I've tried." At this point, Yan Li's face showed a hint of fear.
"My blood must be reabsorbed. Otherwise, if it stays outside for a long time, a very terrifying ghost will crawl out of the blood. That ghost will definitely kill me. I've seen that ghost... So I am only safe when the ghost blood is in my body."
"But this situation will soon change. Now, every night when I sleep, my body feels like it's about to split open, and I am in unbearable pain. Every time I wake up, the bed is soaked in blood."
"That's my own blood... My blood is gradually being expelled from my body. Perhaps the day my blood is completely expelled will be the day the ghost revives."
Yang Jian was silent.
His situation was no different.
Recently, he has been sleeping less and less. Initially, it was six hours, now it's four hours, and when he lies down, his body becomes paralyzed, and his eyes move uncontrollably.
All signs indicate that the ghost in his body is growing.
"Husband, where have you been these few days? I can't reach you on the phone. The children are about to start school, and you don't even come to take care of them."
At this moment, a woman heard the commotion and came out, complaining to Yan Li.
"I've been busy recently, working on a big deal. After this deal, I think I can rest for a while."
Yan Li laughed, "By the way, this is my friend Yang Jian, he is... an international police officer."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Yang Jian said.
"Hello." The woman smiled a bit awkwardly.
Yan Li said, "Yang Jian and I have some business to attend to. Please take care of the children for a while. We'll go out for dinner later."
The woman didn't say anything, just led the girl away.
Yan Li brought Yang Jian to a room, opened the computer, and skillfully entered a website: "This is an overseas website. I don't know who runs it, but the weapons sold here are for dealing with ghosts. The prices are not something ordinary people can afford. I didn't know about this website at first, but I heard about it from Zhang Han at the club later."
After the website opened.
It was like a shopping website, with everything you could think of.
Guns, knives, satellite phones, even clothing, everything was available.
"Weapons are here..." Yan Li opened a weapons page.
Yang Jian took a look and was immediately surprised: "Ten thousand? Are you kidding me? A bullet for ten thousand, why don't they just rob people?"
He found the price of the bullets for the handgun hard to accept.
"These are special weapons for dealing with ghosts. Considering the manufacturing cost and craftsmanship, it's not that expensive, after all, they are made of gold. Have you seen how much the price of gold has risen recently?" Yan Li said.
"If you're going to catch ghosts, I suggest you buy a body bag like this. It's also made of gold, easy to carry, and a bit more expensive."
A product that looked like a sleeping bag appeared.
To be precise, it was a body bag made of gold.
For containing and restraining ghosts, this was clearly more suitable than Yan Li's small box.
Because some ghosts have physical forms.
"Twenty million?" Yang Jian's mouth twitched when he saw the price.
Yan Li clicked on it, and there was even a video demonstration by a foreigner showing how to put a body into the bag and seal it completely.
From the video, it was clear that the high price was justified, as it was indeed more convenient.
"That's why I didn't buy it." Yan Li said helplessly.
Yang Jian thought for a moment and felt that this investment was necessary. He immediately picked up the phone and called Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan, who was trading stocks at home, answered the phone, "Hello, who is it?"
"It's me, Yang Jian, send money."
