Countdown

"..."

We thought we were encountering a terrifying supernatural event.

When everyone saw that it was actually a person who came out, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

"You look disappointed, I can tell. You were expecting a ghost, not a person."

Yang Jian walked out of the room with a slight smile on his face.

"What kind of person are you?" Hao Shaowen's face darkened slightly, and he asked immediately.

He didn't let his guard down because of Yang Jian. Anyone who came out of the room at this time must have a problem, because it was checked before that there was only Yan Li in the rental house.

Yang Jian glanced around and said, "I heard someone trying to kidnap my family outside the door before, and they were planning to extort and rob me by threatening them. I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Yes, that's you, the tallest one."

His gaze fell on Hao Shaowen.

"I'm asking you a question, kid, don't act like you didn't hear it." Hao Shaowen said, gesturing to the people next to him.

Immediately, two adult men with unkind expressions walked towards Yang Jian.

It seems they were about to take action.

However, something strange happened.

These two adult men seemed to not see Yang Jian in front of them, and continued to walk into the room.

"I'm curious, knowing that there are supernatural events in this world, fierce ghosts, and people who control ghosts, why do some people dare to provoke people like us? Friend, don't mind explaining, do you?" Yang Jian closed the door.

The two adult men disappeared in the room without any sound.

There was no movement.

"Hmm? I seem to have seen your photo... You are that newcomer, Yang Jian?" Suddenly, Hao Shaowen remembered the information on the information.

Isn't this person in front of him the new ghost controller who has been in contact with Yan Li?

Yang Jian said, "It's only now that you remember, your memory is really not very good, but continue with the previous question, why do you do this?"

"Why else, of course, it's for money."

Hao Shaowen sneered and said, "Before the supernatural events in the world, people would dare to rob and kill for money, let alone now. Do you know how much we can make in our line of work? Don't even say you are a ghost controller, even if it's a real ghost, as long as the money is in place, we dare to go up."

"A million to buy your life may be a bit less, but ten million to let a person commit suicide, there are a lot of people in this world who are willing, don't underestimate the temptation of money."

"You are still in the third year of high school, the cruelty of society is not something you can imagine. Most normal people will never come into contact with the dark side of the world, so don't blame me for being ruthless, blame Yan Li for not having the ability to keep this huge benefit, of course, you don't have this ability either, today you took the initiative to come over is the most stupid approach."

Yang Jian frowned and looked at Yan Li, who was nailed to the ground and covered in blood. To be honest, he felt very uncomfortable.

Especially these people have also hit their attention.

"Are you provoking me?"

He took back his gaze, and a slit appeared on the back of his hand, revealing a scarlet eye.

"I'm not provoking you, but I'm telling you a fact, today that box I want to decide, otherwise you two people don't want to leave here."

Hao Shaowen took out a baton from his waist and casually flicked it, and the stick extended.

"Is it made of gold?" Yang Jian glanced.

Hao Shaowen said, "It's specially used to deal with you ghost controllers, only this can hurt you who are not human and not ghost."

"Gold is just not affected by the power of fierce ghosts, to completely suppress ghost controllers, you guys are too naive, right?" Yang Jian said with a smile: "Do you really think that if you have settled Yan Li, you can settle others? What do you think of ghost controllers?"

"It seems that the person who doesn't understand the cruelty of this world is not me, but you."

"I dare not solve supernatural events to make money, only dare to rely on their own people, use some ugly means to rob, extort people who have finally controlled fierce ghosts, you guys... It's not even better than animals."

Hao Shaowen said with disdain, "What we do is this line of work, and we talk about conscience? Naive. Start, first subdue this guy."

He was just delaying time when he spoke.

The people behind him were already preparing in secret.

As soon as the voice fell.

Almost everyone had an exquisite crossbow in their hands.

And almost at the same time, all the crossbows shot out a small arrow, each arrow was connected to a golden thread.

The golden thread is also special, with extremely strong toughness, and has the characteristics of gold.

As long as it hits, the golden thread can even be tied together to hold a ghost, which is a combat plan developed abroad, originally used by some special forces abroad to deal with fierce ghosts, but after it spread, it was found that this thing is particularly effective against ghost controllers, and it doesn't have much effect on ghosts. So this method was learned by them.

"Whoosh~!"

The arrow flew over and immediately penetrated into Yang Jian's body.

The arrow with a hook penetrated into his flesh, and the golden thread behind it immediately tightened.

There were six or seven arrows nailed on his body, and under the condition of all pulling hard, Yang Jian fell to the ground instantly.

"Is this ability still daring to come, it's really looking for death."

Hao Shaowen walked over with a cold face, and the baton in his hand hit his back of the head.

The strength was surprisingly great, and there was no reservation.

Immediately, Yang Jian's head was cracked, and blood gushed out, and his body convulsed and there was no breath.

"Dead?" Hao Shaowen was stunned.

How can Yan Li be so resistant to beating, and how can Yang Jian die with one stick?

"No, it's not right, this is not Yang Jian."

Then he blinked, and saw that lying on the ground was one of his subordinates who had disappeared into the room before.

"When did this happen, when did this happen?"

"Clap clap~!"

Yang Jian didn't know when he sat on the sofa, clapping and laughing: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful, just now a series of operations are smooth, first pretending to delay time to let the subordinates prepare, and then a blow to the point, immediately make up the knife to subdue, it is worthy of being an experienced industry person, I have seen how you deal with ghost controllers."

"Well, I remember, I will be more on guard in the future."

"Did you do something wrong?" Hao Shaowen's face was particularly ugly.

Yang Jian's ghost ability seems to be a bit troublesome.

Is it an illusion?

Or can it change people's thinking?

Or can you find a substitute?

...

There is too little information, and it is impossible to guess.

"I don't want to tell you now, my time is limited, three minutes... You only have three minutes, I have a few questions to ask you, if you answer well, you can live, if you don't answer well... Sorry, you can also live, but it's in hell, and don't try to delay time, time is up, I will help you choose automatically."

Yang Jian's face also cooled down, and he saw the ruthlessness of these people.

In less than ten seconds, a person was killed.

If it were him, he would have fallen without prior precautions.

No wonder Yan Li fell into the hands of these people.

His ghost blood has too many defects, and it is very effective against fierce ghosts, but it seems to be of no use against people.

However, this world is not only about dealing with ghosts, but also with people.

"Now the countdown begins, the first question... Who are you instigated by? Well, this question is not correct, it seems like there is a black hand behind it, let's say, who is the money for this business?"

Said, he took out his mobile phone and put it on the coffee table, which showed a three-minute countdown.

This is the life countdown set by Yang Jian for these people.
