Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Following by Your Side
In the face of supernatural events, there is no place in the world that is absolutely safe.
Even the Presidential Palace, if really unlucky enough to encounter a ghost, those who are dood to die will still die.
Although Gold is not affected by the power of malevolent spirits, if you hide inside a Gold coffin, you indeed could rest easy. But wouldn’t that still be waiting for death?
As long as you want to live, you can’t escape the influence of malevolent spirits.
Even if you are protected by a spirit exorcist twenty-four hours a day, that can only shield you from most dangers. If you happen to bump into one of the top three ghosts on the rankings, you’re done for. And with the outbreak of supernatural events, many more terrifying ghosts are continuously erging, many of which may not even be docunted or recorded yet.
It is not unusual for accidents to occur here.
After all, before a malevolent spirit, all beings are equal.
Yang Jian is now sizing up everything around him.
At this mont, the staff in the hall are isolating the crowd, evacuating the masses. The scene is a bit chaotic, but he is certain the other “Zhang Yuan” is here and has not left.
Not for any other reason but a hunch.
As for Zhang Yuan trapped in the mirror, he didn’t bother with him.
Unable to find that ghost, Yang Jian also couldn’t possibly enter the mirror. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn’t, only by finding that ghost and driving it back into the mirror would there be a chance to save soone.
The mont when reality and the mirrored realm connect is the best chance to save soone.
“Yang Jian, what are you looking for? I can help you adjust the surveillance in the departnt,” said Captain Liu. “Just let know if there’s anything I can do to help.”
“I’ve dealt with that ghost before, it’s strange and elusive, it doesn’t kill nor act rashly. Its goal is simply to walk out of the mirror, and that requires the identity of a living person as a substitute. Soone to enter the mirror in place of the ghost. Zhang Yuan took the ghost’s place and went into the mirror, so the ghost from the mirror also took his place and beca Zhang Yuan,” Yang Jian explained with narrowed eyes. “Finding him is the key to resolving this supernatural incident.”
“The departnt really has another Zhang Yuan?” Captain Liu still couldn’t believe it.
Although Yang Jian didn’t say much, he was already feeling the creeps.
The real Zhang Yuan was trapped in the mirror, so the fake Zhang Yuan, without a doubt… was the ghost.
How could such a terrifying thing have sneaked in here?
“I hope he’s still here, but I can’t be completely certain. If he has already left, then it becos a bit more complicated,” said Yang Jian.
With a grit of his teeth, Captain Liu imdiately said, “Xiao Zhu, check the surveillance, find the location of Zhang Yuan. If anyone else spots Zhang Yuan, report it imdiately. Rember, the current Zhang Yuan is the enemy; be extrely careful with any contact.”
At his words, the others all looked serious, realizing that sothing was off and began to feel uneasy.
“What are you standing around for? Get moving,” Captain Liu barked again.
Only then did the others suppress their unease and start to take action.
“I’ll go out and keep an eye on things. Contact as soon as you find him,” said Yang Jian.
“Alright, thank you,” Captain Liu replied.
Yang Jian chose not to stay there because it was crowded and chaotic with many people moving about. He needed to step away from the crowd first and secure his own safety before he could handle anything else.
Without certainty of where the ghost might be, he would not expose himself to danger.
Helping out was an obligation, but not a responsibility.
That responsibility belonged to Zhao Kaiming.
So, he would not risk his life recklessly.
It may seem selfish, but this is a survival strategy. After all, in the face of supernatural events, those who play the hero die quickly.
Once outside, he found a deserted corner to stand in while keeping an eye on anyone entering or exiting the departnt.
However, there are many people here; it would definitely take so ti to find that Zhang Yuan.
“Wait a minute… I just rembered now, that ghost wasn’t coming for , I can be sure of that, but I missed soone else.” Suddenly, the na Zhang Wei popped into Yang Jian’s mind.
This supernatural incident originally entangled with him from the beginning.
Now he’s been detained.
And that ghost also followed here.
This couldn’t be a coincidence.
“So, is it possible that the ghost’s real purpose, whether it’s replacing Shangguan Yun or this Zhang Yuan, is to contact Zhang Wei?” Yang Jian’s expression changed slightly.
“Wait, that doesn’t seem likely either, because after taking Shangguan Yun’s place, the ghost planned to leave directly without bothering Zhang Wei, so the theory that it’s targeting Zhang Yuan doesn’t work.”
“Unless… the ghost can only appear near Zhang Wei.”
Zhang Wei’s ho, the restaurant where he treated guests, the KTV where he entertained… all places where the ghost appeared are where he had been.
As it turns out, the ghost had always been following Zhang Wei.
Wherever he appeared, that’s where the ghost would show up.
As for who the ghost would attack, there was no set target.
“So everything is actually like this.” At this mont, Yang Jian finally deduced the ghost’s pattern of activity.
The ghost’s objective wasn’t important.
What mattered was why the ghost would only appear around Zhang Wei; what strange things had he done recently to be targeted by such a ghost?
While Yang Jian was reflecting.
Suddenly, he vaguely sensed sothing; the ghost eye beneath the skin of his forehead felt a twitching sensation.
This was so kind of sensibility between fierce ghosts.
The more terrifying the ghost, the stronger Yang Jian’s perception, sothing he had deeply experienced.
He almost subconsciously raised his head to look upwards.
At that mont, in the corridor on the fourth floor, seen through the glass, a person dressed in uniform, resembling a staff mber, was currently passing by with their head slightly lowered, unhurriedly.
That complexion reflected on the glass, one could clearly see that on a face strikingly similar to Zhang Yuan’s, it was pale without a trace of color.
“Indeed… it’s still here, the ghost hasn’t chosen to leave,” Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed.
Imdiately, he made a call to Team Liu: “Team Liu, no need to check the surveillance anymore, I’ve just noticed sothing on the fourth floor. That thing is currently heading towards the fifth floor. I suggest you abandon the search below the fourth floor, directly block the corridor and the elevators, starting from the fourth floor, and conduct a step-by-step search.”
“Alright, I understand. Also, I discovered through monitoring that you were indeed right. At noon, in the canteen, Zhang Yuan showed up to eat, and just half an hour ago, he was seen in the lobby… it turns out that thing has been here all along, sneaking in under Zhang Yuan’s identity. No wonder we couldn’t find it,” Team Liu’s voice was sowhat subdued.
His complexion must be difficult to look at now.
A ghost had blended in among them, and they hadn’t noticed at all.
This wasn’t just a simple special event, but also a humiliation for him.
As a team leader, dealing with cases every day, but a special case surfaced right under his nose without him noticing.
Fortunately, no major incident had happened because if sothing had, Team Liu felt he would have regretted it for a lifeti.
“Don’t worry about that now. Find him, and I will deal with it,” Yang Jian said.
“Rest assured, that thing won’t escape,” Team Liu said; “We’ll keep the communication open. I’ll inform you imdiately if there’s any situation.”
“Try your best to lock him down,” Yang Jian said.
