The Position Si Ye was in was not far from Guanjiang Residential Area.

It was just that because there were quite a few driverless vehicles parked in the middle of the road, he had to take a detour.

Coupled with the existence of the Ghost Infant.Full novel: Mysterious Revival: Card Maker — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

This resulted in the time taken to reach Guanjiang Residential Area not being short.

Arriving near Guanjiang Residential Area, the situation here was much better than the area where Si Ye was previously.

"Is it because of Yang Jian and Wang Xiaoming?"

Guanjiang Residential Area was Yang Jian's residence, and during the Starvation Ghost Incident period, even Wang Xiaoming lived here together.

Therefore, during this period, besides Yang Jian, quite a few Ghost Controllers gathered at Guanjiang Residential Area.

Naturally, some Ghost Infants wandering near the residential area were also eliminated by them.

Si Ye walked near the residential area. Although the Ghost Domain of the Starving Ghost had sealed the entire city, there were still security guards keeping watch at Guanjiang Residential Area.

Seeing Si Ye approach, a security guard proactively came to stop him.

"Outsiders are not allowed in here. If you want to come in to take shelter, you need to get permission first."

"Permission?" Si Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, "Permission from whom?"

The security guard shook his head upon seeing this, "Judging by your appearance, wait here for a while. Manager Yang and the others will be back soon."

"After confirming you have no issues, you should be allowed to enter and choose a room to stay temporarily."

Si Ye nodded. The brief conversation allowed him to understand the situation at Guanjiang Residential Area.

At Guanjiang Residential Area, besides Yang Jian's relatives and those Ghost Controllers, there also seemed to be quite a few official personnel now.

And because they were official personnel, Guanjiang Residential Area seemed to have become a temporary shelter.

"That's fine, I will wait here as well."

Si Ye was currently unsure of his own strength and did not want to offend Yang Jian, so he chose not to force his way in.

"In that case, I'll explain the rules of the residential area to you," the security guard said when he saw Si Ye did not react aggressively.

"First, the few buildings in the very center cannot be chosen. If you want to stay here temporarily, you can only choose the outer buildings."

"The second point is that Guanjiang Residential Area only provides accommodation, not security or food. When you go out to find food, do not casually bring people back, especially women."

Si Ye nodded. The central buildings should be where Yang Jian and his close relatives reside.

In this almost apocalyptic situation, people might do anything, so one naturally couldn't casually let others go there.

It was already quite good that Yang Jian agreed to the official requirements and accepted some Ordinary People who wandered into Guanjiang Residential Area.

Of course, it was also possible that letting people stay on the periphery would make it easier to detect if something happened to Guanjiang Residential Area.

However, one should not view things only from the perspective of benefits or drawbacks. Regardless, Guanjiang Residential Area was indeed the safest place right now.

As for the second point, Si Ye also understood it easily.

In a Supernatural Incident, the more people gathered, the greater the chance of being targeted.

Therefore, Guanjiang Residential Area only accepted people who happened to arrive there and would not actively gather Ordinary People.

If it was a woman, the possibility of being accepted was even smaller.

Ghost Infants did not appear without reason; the appearance of every Ghost Infant represented the death of a pregnant woman.

Even if not pregnant, there was still a possibility of conceiving a Ghost Infant.

Under these circumstances, if it wasn't someone they knew, they naturally had to stay as far away from women as possible.

Time passed slowly. Before long, Si Ye saw a group of people walking in from outside.

A group of security personnel were driving cars, escorting boxes one by one into Guanjiang Residential Area.

Beside these security personnel was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, but she was just directing from the side:

"Move the things inside, put them all in that villa. Don't just place them randomly. They look heavy; I won't be moving them again later."

The security guard saw the woman and quickly asked.

"Finance Manager Jiang, these are the people who wandered over today. We don't know when Manager Yang and the others will return. Please check if there are any issues with him,"

"So we can arrange a room for him to stay."

"Wandered over?" Finance Manager Jiang looked towards Si Ye upon hearing the security guard's words.

"That's right. Seeing that the situation here seems better than other places, I came over to check."

Si Ye nodded. Hearing "Finance Manager Jiang" and that a woman could direct people at Guanjiang Residential Area, he was almost certain of her identity.

"I'm not very clear on Yang Jian's situation, but Professor Wang should be returning soon. There are Ghost Controllers around him, you can ask them then."

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then waved her hand, appearing somewhat helpless.

However, just as she finished speaking, a person walked in from outside.

Si Ye looked over; it was a youth, looking very young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

But his demeanor was very unique, carrying a feeling of keeping people a thousand miles away.

"Is this a Ghost Controller? So young, could he be Yang Jian?" Si Ye guessed in his heart.

And Jiang Yan's subsequent actions confirmed his guess.

"Yang Jian, you're back just in time. Your delivery has arrived," Jiang Yan called out to the youth.

"Oh right, what are these things you bought? They look quite valuable."

Yang Jian replied, "Nothing much, just a batch of Gold. It's the last remaining stock from the major banks in Dachang City."

"Alright," Jiang Yan shrugged, then pointed at Si Ye.

"This is someone who wandered over today. Take a look and see if there are any issues. If not, let him stay here temporarily."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian turned his icy gaze towards Si Ye.

At first, his gaze was indifferent, merely sweeping over Si Ye's situation casually before moving away.

However, Yang Jian seemed to suddenly discover something, and his brow suddenly furrowed.

The Ghost Eye tore through the flesh, and a scarlet Ghost Eye appeared on his brow.

The Ghost Eye spun continuously, staring at Si Ye, giving off an extremely eerie feeling.

"A Ghost Controller?" Yang Jian's expression turned cold, his gaze towards Si Ye filled with vigilance.

Through the ability of the Ghost Eye, he could sense a Fierce Ghost inside Si Ye's body.

"So this is what they call a Ghost Controller?" Si Ye did not look panicked, merely showing a look of realization.

"If the Ghost Controller you speak of means having a ghost inside one's body, then yes, I am one."

Hearing Si Ye's words, Yang Jian nodded thoughtfully, relaxing his vigilance slightly.

"Newcomer? Did you become a Ghost Controller in the last few days?"

"Should I say, the ghost inside your body entered you after the anomaly occurred in Dachang City?"

Si Ye nodded, "That's right, just yesterday."

Si Ye said this without much pressure; he indeed became a Ghost Controller yesterday.

It was just that this ghost was given by that damned Yin Feng Zhen Zhen System, and he wasn't sure about the ghost's detailed abilities.

This point would be evident to other Ghost Controllers when Si Ye used Supernatural abilities, as he would appear unskilled.
