In the investigation of paranormal events

In the following days, Chen Ran acted as Jiang Cheng's "guide," and their relationship was one of mentor and friend, but more like that of a friend who helped Jiang Cheng.

"So, you'll be on my team from now on?"

"Yes, containment specialists usually operate alone, but they do sometimes work together."

"But you haven't carried out a mission alone yet, so I'll be working with you from now on. Once you're skilled enough, you'll be able to work on your own."

"Of course, it's not impossible if you want to stay on my team forever."

"No need," Jiang Cheng immediately interrupted.

"hehe."

For Jiang Cheng, since he wants to become a containment expert in the future, he must have enough strength. Moreover, Chen Ran is just a guide, and he still has to rely on himself in the future.

"Oh, right, here, take this."

As she spoke, Chen Ran handed a card to Jiang Cheng.

"This is?"

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Don't you remember? This is the card we used to take the elevator. With this card, you can come and go from headquarters anytime without having to go through those three security checks."

Jiang Cheng took the card: "Can this card be used in any elevator?"

Chen Ran shook her head: "No, you can only get to headquarters in a specific elevator using this card. It's attached to this card."

Jiang Cheng flipped the card over; the back of the card contained information on dozens of elevators in Longhua City.

"Understood."

On the road.

Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran walked and talked.

"The Yin-Yang Eye is a Class A containment object. Its potential is extremely high. If used properly, there is probably no paranormal event in this world that you cannot solve."

Chen Ran said with a smile.

"Is it really that strong?"

"certainly."

"We had a previous user of the Yin-Yang Eyes. He was one of the strongest containment experts, but he died unexpectedly in an S-class incident."

"An S-level incident?" Jiang Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Yes, accidents don't usually happen."

At this point, Jiang Cheng fell into deep thought.

"Who is he? I'd like to check his file. Come to think of it, the Bureau of Investigation should keep files on every containment specialist, right?"

"This... I'm afraid it won't work." Chen Ran smiled bitterly.

"The files of the deceased are kept very secure, especially those of a containment expert like him. This is classified information, and the case of his death was extremely special. The files were strictly sealed and cannot be viewed without special access privileges."

"All right."

Jiang Cheng was simply curious about what kind of person would have the same ability to see ghosts. After all, she didn't even know she was born with the ability to see ghosts, so who could that person be? And what would their connection be?

"Alright, let me introduce you to the concept of the Yin-Yang Eye."

"After you open your eyes, you will be able to see different worlds, and in those worlds, you will see some 'special things,' which are what we often call ghosts."

"Whether it's some strange tales or some ghosts, you can see them clearly after opening your eyes. When containing these strange things, the Yin-Yang Eye has a unique advantage."

"For example, without the ability to see ghosts, it would be very difficult for me to deal with a ghostly incident, since I can't see them."

Even if we could see them, we wouldn't be able to get their information immediately.

"Is that so...?"

So it seems the Yin-Yang Eyes are indeed impressive, but... is this all there is to it? This is a Class A containment object? The effect doesn't seem as strong as I imagined.

Jiang Cheng pondered to himself.

Just seeing "dirty things" is something that some "scientific research equipment" can also do.

"Oh, by the way, just a reminder, don't be scared after you open your eyes."

Jiang Cheng: "?"

Why?

"You'll know once you open your eyes."

Although Chen Ran had never opened his Yin-Yang Eyes, he knew what the effect would be after opening them. He had seen it once by accident, and the scene he saw for the first time really gave him a big shock.

"Alright, we've arrived."

Chen Ran led Jiang Cheng to an unfinished building and then stopped.

Jiang Cheng looked at the unfinished building and asked, "Is this where we're going?"

"An abandoned, unfinished building?"

This unfinished building looks like it has been abandoned for many years. The surrounding walls are corroded beyond recognition, covered with thick moss, and the paint on the walls has rotted away, leaving holes in them due to weathering.

"Yes, this is the place with the most wronged souls, so it's the perfect place to open your eyes."

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Jiang Cheng turned her head and stared at him blankly, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

You told me not to be scared, and then you brought me to this unfinished building. Are you sure you're not kidding me?

Chen Ran turned her head, her deep blue eyes looking directly at Jiang Cheng, and explained to him, "This is the most suitable place to open your eyes. Your Yin-Yang eyes can see scenes that ordinary people can never see in their entire lives, which are the scenes of the underworld."

"The effect is not obvious in crowded places, but the effect is most obvious here, allowing you to get used to it in advance."

"Moreover, I heard that many people died when this unfinished building was built years ago, and countless wronged souls should be buried underneath. You should be able to see them after you activate your Yin-Yang Eyes."

"Ahem!"

Seeing Jiang Cheng's still puzzled look, Chen Ran hurriedly explained, "Of course, most importantly, there must be many ghosts here. After you open your eyes, you can choose one to absorb."

"absorb?"

"Yes, absorb."

Only then did Chen Ran begin to explain the truly powerful function of the Yin-Yang Eyes: absorbing ghosts and monsters!

The Yin-Yang Eyes can absorb ghosts and monsters into their eyes. Whether it's a fierce ghost like Sadako, a ghost from ghost stories, or any other kind of ghost, as long as it's a ghost, the Yin-Yang Eyes can absorb it.

It has certain conditions, but it's worth noting that the Yin-Yang Eye has an absorption limit; it can only hold no more than one hundred ghosts. If this limit is exceeded, something terrible will happen.

After absorbing ghosts, those with the ability to see ghosts will contain them within their own eyes, effectively sealing them away!

During this period, no matter what kind of ghost it is, as long as it is sealed, it cannot exert its original eeriness.

In addition, the host can even use the power of ghosts and monsters, and exert or even control the "weirdness" of ghosts.

After hearing Chen Ran's explanation, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but gasp: "Wow, this thing is that powerful?"

"I have a question."

"What?"

"You just said that the ability to see ghosts can only hold a maximum of one hundred spirits. What happens if that number is exceeded?"

"Something terrible is going to happen."

How terrible is it?

Seeing Jiang Cheng's inquisitive look, Chen Ran could only sigh helplessly, "I don't know either. Anyway, this is information from headquarters. Each project number has its detailed description. I'm just repeating it to you."

"All right."

Next, Jiang Cheng began to think about absorbing ghosts and monsters. According to Chen Ran, the Yin-Yang Eyes can seal ghosts and monsters, and even utilize their strangeness.

But the premise is, how should one absorb "them"?

"That demon is really strong."

"I thought you were going to ask if ghosts really exist in this world."

"How could that be? To me, your existence is more terrifying than ghosts."

Chen Ran: "..."

"Every ghost is troublesome. The appearance of ghosts is extremely demanding and requires very high conditions to be met, which means that none of them are easy to deal with. Most of them have become ghost stories and have certain patterns of killing."

"Even I would have a headache dealing with them, and the probability of something unexpected happening is quite high."

"In short, every single ghost is difficult to deal with!"

Can ghosts be killed?

Hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Chen Ran smiled calmly: "It's possible, but very difficult."

"Extremely difficult."

"In comparison, containing or sealing demons is much simpler."

"Simply put, if sealing a demon requires one unit of effort, then killing a demon requires one hundred units of effort!"

"Therefore, most ghosts in this world are contained and sealed away unless necessary."

"Ghosts are extremely difficult to kill!"

"If that's the case, then my Yin-Yang Eyes are so powerful that I can easily seal ghosts, even dozens of them. No wonder I can reach the level of an A-class containment object."

"Alright, now I'll teach you how to open your eyes."

"Focus your attention on your right eye, imagine your eye is closed, and then open it."

After listening to Chen Ran's words, Jiang Cheng remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Do as I say."

Jiang Cheng did as Chen Ran instructed, took a deep breath, and began the process. Gradually, Jiang Cheng actually felt that her right eye was not open!

A strange feeling surged into Jiang Cheng's mind; he felt something wriggling inside his eyelids.

"It's such a strange feeling."

"Now, close your eyes and feel this sensation."

Hearing what Chen Ran said, Jiang Cheng closed her eyes.

As the sensation intensified, Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. His right eye was now bloodshot, as if it were covered in a layer of blood.

"open!"

Jiang Cheng called out, but there was no response.

Then, he took a deep breath.

"Open your Yin-Yang Eyes!"

This time it's really open!

Jiang Cheng's right eye turned blood red, like a crimson moon, with the shadow of the yin-yang symbol reflected in its pupil, emitting a faint green light.

"This...this is the ability to see ghosts."

After activating his Yin-Yang Eyes, Jiang Cheng's world underwent a dramatic change. The entire world turned green, becoming an eerie, ghostly green, as if he had entered the underworld. It was like a thermal imaging recorder, able to see even the souls of people clearly!

And most importantly, as Chen Ran said, he saw many things that humans cannot see.

Those are wandering ghosts, there are about a dozen of them, wandering around in this abandoned, unfinished building.

"I saw it, a ghost."

Jiang Cheng muttered to herself.

"Are there really that many ghosts in the world?"

"No, they are wronged spirits."

"If a person has too many attachments in life, their soul will not dissipate after death, but will stay in the world for a period of time until the attachments disappear."

"Is this some kind of feudal superstition?"

"No, there is scientific evidence to support this."

Jiang Cheng turned to look at Chen Ran, who continued, "Only when people harbor extremely strong resentment after death will they become ghosts. They can only be called wandering spirits. Unless there are special circumstances, they generally will not cause any harm."

"I know, but even so, what does it mean that the girl in front of me keeps staring at me?"

"What?"

Chen Ran immediately became alert: "The girl in front of you is looking at you? Where is she?"

"She was right in front of me, smiling at me."

Chen Ran instantly realized they might have encountered a ghost story. "It's not easy to find your vengeful spirit; ordinary wandering spirits just wander aimlessly."

"So, she's a ghost story."

"Yes, we need to figure out her killing patterns now."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that she's a vengeful spirit."

If it's a vengeful ghost, then there's indeed no pattern to its killings.

Before Jiang Cheng was a little girl with disheveled hair, but her smile was particularly eerie, with her mouth stretching almost to her ears.

She is slowly moving towards me.

Chen Ran looked ahead; he didn't have the ability to see ghosts and couldn't see anything strange.

Where did she go?

"It's still a few dozen meters away from me."

The girl was originally inside the unfinished building, but after spotting them, she slowly walked towards them.

"Can she go out?"

"It seems... possible."

Jiang Cheng replied only after seeing that the girl had indeed walked out of the unfinished building.

"I'm so lucky, I encountered something weird on my first try."

"I'm not very good at the supernatural, but you've just awakened your ability to see ghosts, so you can use her to practice."

"I?"

Jiang Cheng was puzzled. Actually, Jiang Cheng's performance was already very good. He remained very calm when facing the strange creature for the first time. It was just a bit much to ask him to defeat it...

"Hmm, your Yin-Yang Eyes can absorb supernatural things, so why not take care of her while you're at it?"

"You make it sound so easy. Tell me, what are we going to do?"

Seeing the girl getting closer and closer, Jiang Cheng said somewhat anxiously.

"The prerequisite for the Yin-Yang Eyes to absorb ghosts is to weaken the ghost's 'strangeness'; a ghost in this weakened state can then be absorbed."

"So how do we put it in a weakened state?"

"There are generally two methods. The first is through external force, and the second is to alleviate its resentment, even if only for a moment."

"The fact that they could form strange phenomena indicates that they must have had great resentment in their previous lives, so we need to find the source of their obsessions in their previous lives."

"So where am I supposed to find the source of my obsession now?"

"this……"

Looking at the girl who was only a dozen meters away from him, Jiang Cheng finally decided to take a gamble: "Little sister, I know you must have suffered great injustice in your life, but that is not a reason for you to harm others without cause."

"If you're willing to tell me, I'm willing to help you eliminate the murderer and avenge you!"

Jiang Cheng had only said it casually, but upon hearing it, the girl, whose smile had stretched to the corners of her mouth, actually wavered! Her smile froze, replaced by helplessness.

But in that instant, Jiang Cheng sensed that her resentment was much weaker than before!

"A great opportunity!"

"Yin-Yang Eyes! Absorb!"

The surrounding space seemed to be distorted. The girl let out a bloodcurdling scream. Her resentment reached its peak in an instant, but it was too late. She was sucked in.

"call!"

Jiang Cheng let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, through the pupils of the Yin-Yang Eyes, one can see a small figure constantly patting something, but it is quickly shut off by the Yin-Yang Fish like a door.

"Is it over?" Chen Ran asked.

"Mm." Jiang Cheng nodded.

"That's good."

Chen Ran couldn't see the whole process. From his perspective, he only saw Jiang Cheng shout with a serious expression, and then it was over.

"It was the right decision for me to bring you here. You've already absorbed a ghost right from the start, so you'll become more and more proficient at using your Yin-Yang Eyes in the future."

When Jiang Cheng used the Yin-Yang Eyes for the first time, she felt that the experience was very strange and had a special feeling.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her right eye had returned to normal.

"Alright, the eye-opening is over. Let's go back."

"I'll introduce you to a few friends."

"Friends? Who are they?"

Jiang Cheng turned her head and asked in confusion.

"Like me, I'm a containment expert."

"Also a containment expert?"

Chen Ran smiled and said, "You'll see when you get there."
