The Duel Between Man and Ghost

"Do you think I'll tell you just because you ask? I won't disclose my client's information; it's the rule in our line of work," said Hao Shaowen.

"Rules can be changed," Yang Jian replied.

"Those who break the rules end up badly," Hao Shaowen warned.

Yang Jian pointed to the countdown on his phone: "How can you be sure that ending up in my hands won't be worse? It's fine if you don't want to say, I can ask someone else."

His gaze shifted to the others.

"Does anyone know who sent you to deal with Yan Li and me? Whoever speaks up, I'll let go, but there's only one spot, so I hope you cherish it."

However, the men in suits were all silent, not uttering a word.

"We've all signed confidentiality agreements. Don't waste your time trying to get information out of us... Your abilities are special, but since you've become a ghost tamer, you should know your life won't last long. How about this, I'll give up this job, and we can pretend nothing happened," Hao Shaowen said with a heavy face. He vaguely felt that Yang Jian was a tough nut to crack.

Moreover, he was also sly, like a little wolf cub. At first glance, it seemed like a dog, but if you really got close, this person would bite a piece of flesh off you.

Yang Jian looked at him oddly and said, "You came to my door, beat up my business partner like this, posed him like Jesus nailed to the ground, and wanted to kidnap my family, extort my things... When we finally meet, you start with a barrage and binding. Now you tell me to pretend nothing happened?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Since you don't want to answer the first question, that's fine. Yan Li and I will find out on our own, but before that, I want to make you understand again."

"Who's really in charge here now?"

After speaking, he glanced at the living room lights.

"Buzz~!"

A faint sound of electric current started, and the white light in front of him had suddenly changed color without anyone noticing.

It turned into a faint red.

Under the red light, the entire living room was shrouded in a red halo, as if the lighting technician in a bar had deliberately adjusted it this way.

But the red light didn't just envelop the living room. When Hao Shaowen inadvertently glanced out the window, he saw that the whole world outside was red.

The surroundings were silent, faintly revealing a strange flavor.

"So, who should I start with?" Yang Jian slowly stood up from the sofa, his gaze sweeping over these people.

At this moment, Yan Li, who was nailed to the ground, saw the world shrouded in red light and his face changed.

Ghost Domain.

He didn't expect that Yang Jian actually used the Ghost Domain; it seems he was serious.

"Hao Shaowen, I advise you to cooperate with Yang Jian, or the consequences will be terrible. He and I are not the same kind; his ghost... is an unsolvable existence," Yan Li said.

He seemed to be persuading, but in reality, he was helping Yang Jian to achieve his goal better.

One playing the good cop, the other the bad cop was perfect.

Whether they could really get out of the Ghost Domain depended entirely on Yang Jian's mood; it was not something ordinary people could deal with.

An unsolvable ghost?

Hao Shaowen sneered, "In my eyes, there are no unsolvable abilities. As long as you are still human, there is a way to deal with it."

He suddenly had a pistol in his hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three shots in a row, aimed at Yang Jian's forehead and chest.

At such a close range, there was absolutely no possibility of missing.

"Thud~!"

The next moment, Yang Jian, who had just stood up, immediately fell to the ground, and blood quickly flowed out.

Dead?

Hao Shaowen's gaze condensed, not too excited.

But before he could check, the red light flickered slightly in front of him.

He found that the convulsing and bleeding corpse on the ground had turned into one of his subordinates.

Yang Jian had disappeared again.

"Boss, this, what's going on, why is it Zhao Gang who died, wasn't he just here..."

One of the subordinates was startled and hurriedly looked at the companion next to him.

The person next to him had become Yang Jian at some point.

Yang Jian grinned at him.

Seems innocent and harmless, but it carries a kind of strange horror.

"The first one is you." Yang Jian suddenly grabbed his neck and pushed him forward.

Bang~

Hao Shaowen fired a shot with his backhand.

Yang Jian fell to the ground again.

But when he lay on the ground, the corpse turned into another subordinate.

In just a short while, three people had died at his own hands.

Hao Shaowen's face was expressionless, still very indifferent: "Come out, if you dare, come out."

"Ding Dong~!"

The next moment, a bullet fell from the ceiling and landed on his head.

The bullet was golden and bright, not brass, but a specially made gold.

"A bullet head made of gold? You are very well prepared, but unfortunately, you were unlucky today to meet me." Yang Jian slowly walked out of the next bedroom.

His face was calm, with a strange kind of horror.

Hao Shaowen immediately raised his gun.

But at this moment, he stopped, and the trigger was not pulled.

"Why don't you shoot? There are still three bullets in your gun, and you have three subordinates left, just right, one shot per person, you will be super soon, do you want me to give you a reward?" Yang Jian smiled.

"Illusion? You are not a real person, your true body is hidden in this room, and the ability to make people have illusions is indeed a bit troublesome, but there is a way to deal with it."

Hao Shaowen's face was very ugly: "Although your ability is very strong, there are also shortcomings."

"As long as I don't mess up, no one will have an accident, you can only kill with a borrowed knife."

"How can you be sure that your guess is right? What if I deceived you?"

At this moment, the two subordinates next to him were completely panicked: "Boss, you, look, what's going on with him?"

The subordinate who was pushed by Yang Jian just now was half embedded in the wall at this time, and merged with the wall, but this kind of integration was obviously forced, but it was seen that the person was convulsing all over, spitting blood, rolling his eyes, and it seemed that he was about to die soon.

Hao Shaowen's eyes shrank.

This... is not an illusion.

"Sorry, I hit a little hard, but I swear I just pushed him a little, just a little bit, and it was still light, how could he be about to die?"

Yang Jian looked at the person who was out of breath and sighed, "I really can't think of it, ordinary people are so fragile. Next time I will pay more attention."

"So? Back to the previous topic, I ask again, who are you doing this business with?"

"Big, big brother, we are just workers, who took this business really don't know, only the boss knows."

A subordinate was no longer tough, and said with a face full of fear, this person is much more terrifying than Yan Li.

Killing people is as simple and easy as eating and drinking.

It's like playing with a little white mouse.

"Sure enough, the source is still with you, which is why I didn't kill you at the beginning. After all, in addition to wanting to see how you deal with ghost tamers, I also hope to ask what I want to know."

"Friend, are you really not going to say anything here?"

Then, he looked at Hao Shaowen again.

"Even if you don't say it, don't forget that in addition to you knowing, Wu Feng also knows. I didn't ask him because I was in a hurry before, but if you are willing to die, I won't waste time, after all, you are also busy, and you have to rush to be reborn."

"..."

Although Hao Shaowen was ruthless, he was also in a dilemma at the moment.

Yang Jian's ability really makes people feel... unsolvable.

His previous words may have to be taken back.

Compared to people, Yang Jian's actions are more like a ghost.

Can't guess, can't see through, can't target.

"I am only responsible for receiving the work, who asks us to do things we don't care, but I can tell you, the employer is a person from Yan Li's club, and the information was also given to me by that person." Hao Shaowen took a deep breath.

If he doesn't give him some news, he is afraid that he won't be able to leave here today.

Club?

Hearing this, Yan Li was stunned.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes: "The people in the club are all ghost tamers, so someone is targeting Yan Li?"

"No, although most members of the club are ghost tamers, there are also some of the top local businessmen. They sometimes hire ghost tamers at high prices to solve supernatural events, or even hire ghost tamers as bodyguards, but there are not many people who can afford this price and are interested in ghosts." Hao Shaowen said.

"How much can you get for this job?"

Hao Shaowen said: "Fifty million rice gold."

"It's really a lot." Yang Jian's eyelid jumped.

The price of a ghost is only one hundred million, but hiring Hao Shaowen actually offers fifty million rice gold, and the exchange rate is more than three times the difference.

It seems... Yan Li was underpriced.

Perhaps there are some middlemen and other roles in between.

"What is the experiment? It is a method to prevent ghost tamers from dying when ghosts recover."

Yang Jian continued to ask: "There is still one minute, no, forty seconds, who among you three answers and who goes, remember, now I am in charge, you have no choice."

His Ghost Domain time is also coming to an end.

It's time to completely solve this matter.
