The end of the paper just stuffed into the cabinet door seemed to be grabbed by something; in an instant, it was drawn into the cabinet door and disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Shan silently counted to ten in his heart. When he finished counting, what emerged from the cabinet door was not the original piece of paper, but a red letter.
"?!"
"A red letter from the Ghost Post Office?"
Jiang Shan was startled. He remembered that the first time Yang Jian stuffed paper into the cabinet, the original paper came out.
Why did the original paper turn into a letter from the Ghost Post Office, and a red one at that, when it came to him?
"A letter from the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office?"
Jiang Shan's expression tightened. He did not reach out to take the letter, as he did not want to enter the Ghost Post Office right now to deliver a message to Zhang Dong.
With his current strength, going there would purely be feeding a head to "Emperor Zhang Dong."
Just in case, Jiang Shan activated his Ghost Domain ability to flip the red letter over, as he thought he saw something written on the back when it fell.
"Ghost"
The moment Jiang Shan saw the first character, everything around him suddenly vanished, and darkness from all directions enveloped him.
At this moment, he seemed to have arrived in a Supernatural Space.
"!"
Jiang Shan secretly thought things were bad; he must have arrived on the path leading into the Ghost Post Office.
Just as he frantically tried to activate his Ghost Domain, a small path appeared out of nowhere in the darkness. At the end of the path, a Republic of China era Post Office could be vaguely seen.
"No way, man, I didn't even touch it, how did I get here?"
Discovering that he couldn't use his Ghost Domain at all, Jiang Shan was already preparing to accept his fate.
But a splash of red on the small path caught his attention.
The red letter had not disappeared; instead, it appeared on the small path leading to the Ghost Post Office.
Just as Jiang Shan was about to move to pick it up, he froze, because he saw a Ghost Bus speeding toward him at a terrifying speed from the direction of the Ghost Post Office at the end of the path.
"Why is the Ghost Bus here?" Jiang Shan wondered, watching the speeding Ghost Bus with a tense expression.
Although Jiang Shan was unsure of the Ghost Bus's intentions, he was well aware of its terror.
If the Ghost Bus was coming to hit him, even knowing he couldn't fight back, Jiang Shan was prepared to fight to the death.
He was unwilling to die so lightly.
Chilling gusts of wind swirled up in the darkness, blowing the red letter on the small path into the air.
"3.2.1, here it comes!"
Jiang Shan's expression was taut. He was ready to immediately let the Dead Face Ghost devour the Ghost Character, hoping to use the restart triggered by the Ghost Face to avoid the collision.
But he realized the Ghost Bus's target was not him, but the letter that contained the Ghost Cabinet's requirement!
The Ghost Bus sped past, instantly smashing the envelope in the air into pieces, which then vanished into the darkness.
Jiang Shan squinted as he watched the driverless Ghost Bus. Recalling Yang Jian's growth trajectory, he couldn't help but think:
"It seems Yang Jian is definitely going to the Caesar Hotel."
In the Original Work, after dealing with the Starvation Ghost Incident, Yang Jian encountered Zhao Lei, who was controlled by the Newspaper Ghost, and only then, due to the Headquarters' request, did he accidentally enter the Caesar Hotel.
It must be said,
that place played a crucial role in Yang Jian's subsequent improvement.
From the Cleaver to the Music Box, these were important Supernatural Items for Yang Jian to fight Fierce Ghosts and survive near-death situations.
"Forget it, I'll wait until after the Starvation Ghost Incident to go to the Caesar Hotel to look for the Newspaper Ghost," Jiang Shan sighed helplessly.
The Newspaper Ghost probably couldn't have gone far. If he waited until he could control Ghost Blood, his chance of success might be greater.
Then his gaze turned to the distant Ghost Post Office, and his head started to ache.
"What must come must be faced."
Jiang Shan took a deep breath and started walking toward the Ghost Post Office, but before he took two steps, the surrounding darkness suddenly disappeared.
Before him was that ancient Ghost Cabinet.
"I'm back?"
Jiang Shan activated his Ghost Domain and found that he had indeed returned to Dachang City. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Shan didn't know why the Ghost Bus smashed the letter meant for the Ghost Cabinet, but he knew:
"That red envelope contained the Ghost Cabinet's requirement, but unfortunately, I can't see it anymore. It seems that until I become stronger, I shouldn't interfere too much with the important Supernatural Items related to Yang Jian's growth."
Jiang Shan quickly summarized the situation from moments ago.
"Sigh, this is boring. Let's go, let's go find Wang Xiaoqiang to exchange the money for Gold," Jiang Shan sighed helplessly.
"Current destination: Xiaoqiang Club, going to hang out with my Boss Qiang!"
His objective having been interfered with by the future Old Qin, Jiang Shan was very depressed. He activated his Ghost Domain and vanished from this Republic of China era tiled house.
Upon arriving at the Xiaoqiang Club, Jiang Shan found that Wang Xiaoqiang was not there?
He scanned the Ghost Controllers inside the club, ignoring the unfriendly gazes, and immediately fixed his eyes on Ye Jun, who was sitting on the sofa drinking.
"This guy really loves to drink. If he had drunk a little less that day and hadn't sped, I wouldn't have had to smash his head open." Jiang Shan thought.
Then he walked calmly in front of Ye Jun and asked:
"Ye Jun, where did Manager Wang go?"
Hearing Jiang Shan's voice, Ye Jun, who had been looking quite relaxed, suddenly had his expression darken. He replied reluctantly:
"I heard the boss of Shangtong Technology Co., Ltd., who partners with the club, and his little lover were killed by a Ghost Controller. Manager Wang went to investigate."
Hearing Ye Jun's words, Jiang Shan was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wang Xiaoqiang's voice coming from the doorway:
"Jiang Shan, go wait for me in my office."
"Manager Wang, I'm not into that."
Wang Xiaoqiang:
After waiting in the office for about ten minutes, Wang Xiaoqiang finally returned. The first thing he said upon seeing Jiang Shan was:
"You killed Paul and his lover, Mary?"
"Hey, Manager Wang, don't just talk nonsense without evidence. I never kill people. My rule has always been: if the money is right, I give you your life back," Jiang Shan replied.
"So the Life-Buying Money they gave you wasn't enough?" Wang Xiaoqiang's tone was somewhat cold, then he added:
"The heavy fog at Shangtong Building last night was your Ghost Domain, wasn't it? Are the three ghosts from Paul's secret room in your hands? If they are, I advise you to return them tonight."
Wang Xiaoqiang's words piqued Jiang Shan's interest. He felt that although Wang Xiaoqiang was ambitious, he wouldn't go so far as to protect the interests of these foreign ghost hunters. Therefore, his words suggested there was something going on.
"Just because there was heavy fog doesn't mean it was my Ghost Domain. I, Jiang Shan, won't take the blame for this. Also, they have three ghosts in their company? What happens if I don't return them?" Jiang Shan asked.
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at Jiang Shan with a somewhat cold gaze. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Shan was a member of the club and didn't have too many conflicting interests with him,
he might have already found a way to have Jiang Shan killed.
As for Paul from the Shangtong Building, if he's dead, he's dead; there are plenty of people.
However, those three ghosts in the building were very important to Paul's foreign organization, and he didn't want to bring trouble to his club because of Jiang Shan.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's hesitant expression, Jiang Shan guessed something:
Wang Xiaoqiang was just afraid that the Missionary would come looking for trouble with the club, right?
Although Jiang Shan didn't know how strong the Missionary was right now, when Yang Jian had only controlled two ghosts, the Missionary's strangeness posed almost no threat to Yang Jian.
If he really came, it wouldn't be certain who would win between him and the Missionary.
Furthermore, Jiang Shan was certain that the Missionary didn't have the guts to cross the ocean to come here.
Setting aside the collapse of combat power during the national war, in Jiang Shan's mind, he simply didn't believe that a Ghost Controller from a tiny backwater place could possess strength surpassing a Captain.
Looking at the battle records alone, the Manor Lord's strength was even greater than that of a lower-ranked Captain.
Was it that he was incapable, or were they too strong?
Dachang City was not the Manor of kings, nor was it their ancient castle.
If he came, Jiang Shan would teach the Missionary what great nation etiquette was through practical action, even before involving Headquarters.
