An eerie voice wandered the room, calling out Yang Jian's na as if a ghost was searching for him.
The voice started its search on the first floor, gradually moving up to the second, then third, and eventually reaching the fourth floor.
In a room on the fourth floor, the lights were brightly lit.
Jiang Yan was lying on the bed playing with her phone, constantly updating her personal status.
"Recently my boyfriend has been ignoring again, I'm heartbroken; such a big house, and just alone, it's so desolate."
The accompanying photo was of Yang Jian's mansion.
And her previous status read: To be a happy little bootlicker, believe in yourself, and in the end you'll have everything you lick for.
The status before that: My boyfriend gave five million to buy a car. What car should I buy?
Under each status update, there were dozens of comnts from her high school and university classmates, as well as so relatives and friends.
"Big Sister Jiang, your boyfriend definitely doesn't love you anymore, hurry up and introduce him to ."
"How can a ghost controller be so rich? There must be sothing wrong."
"When are you getting married? Waiting to celebrate your wedding. I heard Dachang City has chemical pollution, Jiang Yan, are you okay?"
Humming a tune, Jiang Yan browsed through the comnts, occasionally replying to a few, her face brimming with happiness and satisfaction, and even a bit of smugness.

What she didn't realize was that a voice calling Yang Jian's na kept hovering around her, as though soone was standing beside her whispering secrets.
But Jiang Yan didn't react at all, letting the voice linger; she still couldn't hear it.
Eventually, after wandering for a mont, the voice left and then moved on to the fifth floor.
"Yang Jian, Ghost Eye Yang Jian..." The voice followed the staircase up, finally reaching the fifth floor.
One of the rooms on the fifth floor was Yang Jian's residence.
After reaching the fifth floor, the voice continued to wander through each room, eventually slipping through the crack of a door into a room where the Ghost Mirror was kept, though the door was locked. Yet the voice penetrated effortlessly, going straight inside.
The pitch-dark room was empty except for the Ghost Mirror covered with a black cloth.
As the voice wandered in the room, the Ghost Mirror shook slightly, and the black cloth covering it slowly slid down.
"Yang Jian, co out."
When the voice reached the front of the Ghost Mirror, a person identical to Yang Jian erged from the depths of the mirror. It stood in front of the mirror, seeming to want to follow the voice out of the mirror, but was stopped by the mirror, unable to escape.
"Yang Jian, Ghost Eye Yang Jian..." The voice still wandered in the room.
The Yang Jian in the mirror kept following the voice, moving forward.
But it was to no avail.
The Yang Jian in the mirror did not exist in this world, unable to break free.
Finally, the voice gave up and floated out of the room.
After the voice left, the Ghost Mirror returned to calm, and the Yang Jian in the mirror turned and disappeared into the depths of the mirror.
Search from room to room.
Finally, it reached the bedroom where Yang Jian stayed on this floor.
The voice gradually drifted to the bedside.
The sleeping Yang Jian suddenly felt as though his body was out of his control, wanting to stand up, follow the voice, get out of bed, and leave this place.
This behavior was like sleepwalking, guided and manipulated by so eerie entity.
But it was only for a mont.
Yang Jian's eyes snapped open.
His body shook slightly, breaking free from the restraints and control, then he reached out and grabbed at the air.
The voice by his ear stopped abruptly, instantly disappearing.
"Yang Jian, what's wrong?" Zhang Liqin, curled up next to him, asked groggily.
"Looking for death."
A faint red light erged from Yang Jian's body, covering the entire room. Then the light spread out from the room, rapidly enveloping the entire Guanjiang Residential Complex. In just a few seconds, he had scrutinized everything around him and discovered the source of the eerie voice, unexpectedly spitting out two words.
"You go back to sleep, I'm going out for a while."
After speaking, he vanished in an instant.
"My voice has disappeared, Yang Jian is coming, be careful everyone, he's terrifying..."
At that mont, inside a resting pavilion within the residential complex, Lin Luoi used a voice device to speak.
"Terrifying? How terrifying?" Luo Su Yi asked with a smile, "Is it as terrifying as ?"
Lin Luoi was about to reply, but suddenly her expression changed drastically, her body lifted off the ground as if yanked by an invisible force and a grass rope tied around her neck hoisted her up.
Suffocating, powerless to resist, one could feel the imdiate terror of approaching death.
It seed as though a pair of invisible hands were tightly strangling the grass rope with a fearso strength that was rather frightening.
"Loosen, let go," Lin Luoi managed to utter a few ghastly sounds with great difficulty.
The Ghost Rope loosened slightly but then tightened again.
Although it had so effect, it was not significant.
"Damn it," Luo Su Yi and the man beside him suddenly leaped to their feet.
They noticed that many ominous-looking grass ropes were beginning to fall inside the pavilion, curling towards them as if seeking out targets.
"Luo Su Yi, sothing's wrong; this is a revived ghost, Lin Luoi can't withstand such terror," the man beside him said sowhat panic-stricken.
It wasn't just the pavilion.
Outside in the residential complex, nurous ropes dangled from the sky, swaying as if intending to hang everyone.
"Yang Jian, we an no harm, we just want to et you," Luo Su Yi imdiately said.
He knew that if there were really ghosts here, there couldn't be living people in this complex.
The only explanation was Yang Jian.
This was a signature move of Yang Jian with the Ghost Eye.
"You're not the authorities; you look like folk ghost manipulators. Dachang City doesn't have your nas on record, so are you from out of town? Since that's the case, I could charge you with international assault on ghost manipulators and execute you right here and now, legally and rightfully, especially since you just showed signs of aggression," Yang Jian's voice ca from ahead.
He approached with a grave expression.
A ferocious Ghost Eye on his forehead rotated restlessly, scanning the surroundings.
An extrely dangerous man.
Looking at Yang Jian's eye, Luo Su Yi couldn't help feeling a shiver down his spine, as sothing scread a strong warning within him.
"Yang Jian, we're just looking for you, to say hello. We didn't an to attack you," he said, tension rising within him.
He felt he had severely underestimated this Yang Jian, thinking that coming together as a trio, they could handle any situation.
Who knew that in just one encounter, the three of them would be ensnared in a desperate plight.
The sky filled with dangling grass ropes, and a fully revived fierce ghost had turned into a nightmare beginning—not to ntion that Yang Jian hadn't even started attacking.
"You call this a greeting?"
A cold hand suddenly appeared in front of Luo Su Yi, gripping his neck and lifting him off the ground.
Yang Jian, in the distance, had vanished.
He then eerily reappeared in front of Luo Su Yi.
Luo Su Yi's eyes widened, a reflexive urge to resist surged, but he was horrified to find his body immobilized, as if sothing ice-cold had penetrated his being, seizing control.
No, it wasn't just immobility; even the ghost inside him had beco unresponsive.
"What a joke, can this guy even suppress ghosts?" his mind raced with terror.
He had encountered many ghost manipulators, but none had ever reached this level of power; the Yang Jian before him was no ordinary manipulator.
"Yang Jian, stay calm. We truly an no harm," the only remaining man urgently said, not daring to confront Yang Jian directly.
He was already terrified just by the Ghost Ropes that drifted close by.
"You have five minutes to explain your intentions. If you fail to satisfy , the three of you will stay here today. I'm not known for patience and I usually don't like wasting words when I can take action," Yang Jian told the man as he stared at him.
He didn't let go of Luo Su Yi in his hand.
Because he felt this man was likely the strongest among the three, and the woman who was hung up was the most peculiar, for her voice seed to have the power to control others, no, even ghosts.
Yet, her power was just slightly weaker,
But Yang Jian believed that if the ghost inside this woman awakened or if she perfectly mastered it, it would certainly be very fearso.
So it was best to subdue these two first, leaving the other as no threat.
