Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 196 Testing
Yang Jian's gaze was fixed on the two of them.

Zhao Jianguo, in reality, was invaded by a newspaper ghost, and his memories were tampered with. He released a starving ghost, personally causing the three major S-level vengeful ghost incidents in Dajing City to go out of control.

However, he wasn't a bad person; on the contrary, he was one of the most responsible people in headquarters. He was cautious and aware of his limitations. He mostly chose to turn a blind eye to Yang Jian's often outrageous behavior.

As an ordinary person, he had no choice. Headquarters even awarded Zhao Jianguo a hero's medal after the incident, precisely to prevent dissatisfaction. If an ordinary person were labeled an evil person simply because they were controlled by a vengeful spirit, no one would dare work for headquarters in the future.

And Zhao Kaiming…

Ghost Eyes looked him up and down.

In reality, Zhao Kaiming and Yang Jian are enemies.

But it wasn't because of personal grudges, but because of the ghost he was controlling.

No, it's not quite the same as "controlling"; it's more like the relationship between Yang Jian and the human skin paper, where they use each other.

However, Zhao Kaiming was too deeply entangled with that ghost, and his entire family had perished, leaving him with no way to escape unscathed. Yang Jian suspected that Zhao Kaiming's final act of suicide by shooting himself was due to that ghost.

Ghost Eyes' gaze fell behind him, but there was nothing there.

Even now, Yang Jian still doesn't know the killing pattern of the ghost behind Zhao Kaiming, and Yang Jian is very wary of the ghost's existence. At least for now, he is not confident that he can completely restrain it.

The ghost that Zhao Kaiming possessed appeared to have self-awareness.

Yang Jian only knew that the ghost was using Zhao Kaiming to collect puzzle pieces, attempting to achieve a certain state of completeness by piecing together its own supernatural abilities.

However, this is all what Zhao Kaiming told him, and the actual situation may be different.

This theory was eventually confirmed by Wang Xiaoming: all the vengeful ghosts in the world are incomplete, at least those that have appeared at this stage.

The helicopter landed slowly, and the strong wind made Yang Jian's clothes flutter loudly.

He stood there, calmly watching the two approach.

Zhao Jianguo strode forward, his face full of anger.

"Yang Jian! Do you know what you've done?!"

The death of a person in charge is no small matter, especially since it was Zhou Zheng, a very special person in charge who controlled the ghost infant.

Zhao Kaiming followed behind, and Yang Jian noticed that he would occasionally turn his head slightly to look to the side, as if an invisible ghost was following him. However, those sinister eyes were always staring straight at Yang Jian.

Zhao Jianguo continued to roar, "I don't care how you controlled that vengeful spirit, come back to headquarters with me right now! We can be lenient with you!"

"Treat me leniently?"

Yang Jian glanced at Zhao Jianguo indifferently, his voice calm:
“I was able to kill Zhou Zheng and successfully restrain that ghost infant. I think you should understand what that means. Take me to see Wang Xiaoming.”

The surrounding air began to turn red.

A faint crimson hue spread from the ground, seeping into the distance like water.

The colors of the world began to fade.

Zhao Jianguo's expression changed.

"How do you know Professor Wang's name! Who are you?!"

He had looked at Yang Jian's information before he came. He was an ordinary high school student from a normal family with no special experiences.

He had seen several students who suddenly gained supernatural powers; they simply believed they had superpowers and then caused trouble everywhere.

If it weren't for this incident, Yang Jian's name would never have come to the attention of headquarters.

He believed that Yang Jian was in the same situation, which is why he accidentally killed Zhou Zheng, but now it seems that the matter is not so simple.

Zhao Jianguo had a very bad feeling.

"you guess."

Yang Jian stared at Zhao Jianguo, the red light around them growing increasingly intense. At this moment, Zhao Kaiming, who was standing to the side, spoke, a hoarse sound emanating from his throat.

“Yang Jian…you are indeed quite impressive. At such a young age, you have already mastered a vengeful spirit and even gained control of the Ghost Domain. But I want to tell you that this world is not as simple as you imagine. There are many people who can kill you. Now, obediently come back with us, and we can still discuss things.”

As he spoke, the crimson color around his body rapidly faded and gradually returned to normal.

Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly.

"As expected... I suspected before that the ghost candle was blown out by Zhao Kaiming's ghost. Now it seems that my guess was right. The fourth layer of ghost domain cannot restrict the existence of that ghost. I'm afraid that the ghost in reality is even more terrifying."

Yang Jian remained silent as he looked at Zhao Kaiming.

He was testing the waters, only opening the fourth level of the Ghost Domain, but Zhao Kaiming suppressed him.

However, Yang Jian did not intend to figure out the ghost's killing patterns in this place, because this world was fake.

Even if the ghost baby conforms to the characteristics of reality, it is still based on the premise that Yang Jian already has knowledge of it.

Yang Jian didn't fully understand Zhao Kaiming's ghost, and he wasn't sure if the world would just randomly create a ghost and place it next to Zhao Kaiming.

If you jump to conclusions, you might encounter similar situations in real life and suffer a terrible fate.

Even so, this encounter with Zhao Kaiming can serve as a reference. If he were to meet him in reality in the future, he would at least be able to make some judgments.

"Kill me? You can try."

Yang Jian said coldly, raising the woodcutter's knife slightly in his hand.

"Zhao Kaiming, do you think the ghost behind you can protect you? If I wanted to, I could kill you in less than a second."

How do you know all this?!

Zhao Kaiming's expression suddenly changed, and he looked somewhat nervous. Even Wang Xiaoming didn't know about the ghost behind him, but the tone of this unfamiliar young man in front of him was so certain.

However, he quickly calmed down. Anything can happen in the supernatural, and the ghost that Yang Jian was controlling might be quite special.

However, he still didn't believe that Yang Jian could fight off the ghost behind him.

"A paranormal item?..."

Zhao Kaiming glanced at the woodcutter's knife in Yang Jian's hand, his eyes filled with wariness. Using supernatural items came at an extremely high price, but the effects were terrifying. He was afraid that Yang Jian might suddenly attack and chop him in half.

"You are not an ordinary newly promoted Ghost Tamer."

Zhao Kaiming's voice was deep, "You possess supernatural items and are very skilled at controlling the ghost realm. You might even... not be Yang Jian."

"Is it important?"

Yang Jian took a step forward, a movement that instantly made Zhao Kaiming tense up.

Facing Yang Jian, he felt immense pressure. This young man was no ordinary person, and if he were careless, he might suffer an unexpected setback.

"I don't want to repeat myself. Where is Wang Xiaoming? If you don't tell me, I'll kill both of you right now."

Under the red light, the headless ghostly figure behind him slowly stood up.

Cold sweat was already beading on Zhao Jianguo's forehead. He looked at Zhao Kaiming and asked, "So, are you confident?"

“I can handle it, but I’ll definitely pay a heavy price. Zhao Jianguo, you’re really good at causing me trouble. None of the ghost tamers at this level are easy to deal with. After this, I need the right to use a ghost.”

"No problem, I will try my best to apply to headquarters."

As Zhao Jianguo spoke, he stepped back. He had misjudged Yang Jian's character; he should have known better than to come down.

Yang Jian did not intervene. He planned to test Zhao Kaiming's abilities. At this point in time, apart from Elder Qin, he was not afraid of anyone else at headquarters.
