On a street in Dachang City, Yang Jian drove his vehicle toward a certain Hospital in Dachang City.
In the end, he agreed with Headquarters to resolve this sudden Supernatural Event in Dachang City.
Of course, this was not without compensation; the Ghost Controller Headquarters offered a considerable Overtime pay, and it was because of this Overtime pay that he decided to go take a look.
"Zhao Kaiming always drops the ball at critical moments. This incident was originally in his responsible Area, but now I have to clean up his mess."
"Moreover, as a person in charge, after a Supernatural Event broke out in the city he is responsible for, he didn't think about dealing with it immediately, but instead played the missing person game!"
Yang Jian looked extremely displeased, stomped hard on the accelerator with his right foot, and the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
The real reason Yang Jian took action was not the Overtime pay promised by Headquarters, but because this was Dachang City; otherwise, if it were another city, he would most likely refuse even with the Overtime pay promised by Headquarters.
However, Dachang City was different.
Yang Jian already regarded this city as his own territory. Under these circumstances, if Zhao Kaiming went missing, then Yang Jian had to step up.
"Screech........."
The car was fast, and Yang Jian's driving skills were excellent. Amidst the sounds of tires screeching repeatedly, he arrived at the exact address provided by Headquarters.
"Is this it?!" Yang Jian opened the car door and stepped out, looking up at the Hospital shrouded in Black Mist not far ahead.
"This Mist has a problem, a Ghost Domain?"
Yang Jian frowned. He couldn't see the Hospital through the Black Fog with his naked eye; he could only make out the general outline of a Building.
Swish!
On his forehead, a scarlet, eerie Eye opened, looking in the direction of the Hospital ahead.
Under the Ghost Eye's sight, the surrounding environment underwent a new change.
The Black Fog was still churning, but the Hospital Building could now be seen clearly. However, between the Hospital and the Black Fog, wisps of gray airflow emerged.
"Is this... a second ghost? Are there two or more Fierce Ghosts in this Hospital?" Yang Jian's expression suddenly turned extremely grim. In that instant, he had the thought of directly eliminating Zhao Kaiming.
As the person in charge of this Area, Yang Jian did not believe Zhao Kaiming had no awareness, but clearly, Zhao Kaiming had neither taken action to resolve the Fierce Ghost nor chosen to report it to Headquarters.
"A place with such high foot traffic in his jurisdiction has a Supernatural Power outbreak, yet Zhao Kaiming, the person in charge, hasn't taken any action. This can no longer be excused as dereliction of duty."
Yang Jian frowned, deep in thought.
He knew very well that since Zhao Kaiming was directly assigned by Headquarters, he must possess some ability and couldn't make such a low-level mistake.
"So Zhao Kaiming likely knew there was a ghost in this Hospital, but he still chose to conceal it. Why? What is his objective?"
Yang Jian couldn't figure out what benefit Zhao Kaiming, as the person in charge, would gain from letting the Fierce Ghost go unchecked, or even allowing it to kill people or grow stronger.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian took out the Satellite Positioning Phone issued by Headquarters from his bag and dialed a number.
"Hello, Yang Jian?" The call was answered quickly, and the sweet voice of Operator Liu Xiaoyu came through the phone.
"The situation is a bit beyond expectations. There is more than one Fierce Ghost in the Hospital right now; preliminary judgment is that two or more Fierce Ghosts are roaming inside the Hospital!"
Yang Jian cut to the chase, directly telling the phone what he was seeing.
"What?!" Hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu was also stunned for a moment, then continued, "Are you sure?"
"If you don't believe my judgment, you can ask someone else to handle it. I don't need you to question my judgment!"
When Yang Jian heard Liu Xiaoyu on the other end questioning his judgment, his already grim expression darkened further, and his tone became much colder.
"Yang Jian... no... I didn't..." Liu Xiaoyu tried to defend herself, but before she could finish, a Male standing in the hall raised his hand to stop her.
At the Ghost Controller Headquarters, Zhao Jianguo stepped forward, took the phone from Liu Xiaoyu, and said, "Hello~ Yang Jian, I'm Zhao Jianguo. I heard what you just said. Can you tell me about your situation?"
"Two sources of Supernatural Power are enveloping this Hospital. One is a Black Fog Ghost Domain, and the other is a grayish-green gas, estimated to be a second Ghost Domain. There are at least two Fierce Ghosts possessing Ghost Domains wandering in this Hospital!" Yang Jian stated.
"Do you have the confidence to resolve it?" Zhao Jianguo asked. Although he wasn't on site, Yang Jian's description was enough to cause dread.
Two or more Fierce Ghosts possessing Ghost Domains—even without considering other abilities—were a nightmare for other ordinary Ghost Controllers!
"I'm not sure either. I haven't entered the Hospital yet, nor have I made contact with the Fierce Ghosts, so I don't know what abilities they possess."
After a pause, Yang Jian continued, "The Overtime pay mentioned earlier was for dealing with one Fierce Ghost. Now that there are two or more Fierce Ghosts roaming this Hospital, the level of danger is incomparable!"
"So..."
"I need more money!!!"
..........
Stomp, thud-thud!
On the third floor of the Hospital, shrouded in Mist, Su Mu Bai carried a Coffin Nail as thick as an arm, walking through the floor, searching for the trail of the Starving Ghost.
The Black Fog enveloping the Hospital was something Su Mu Bai intentionally allowed, its main purpose being to attract Yang Jian and others, thus allowing him to gauge how far the plot had progressed.
As for being targeted by Ghost Controllers or other Fierce Ghosts, Su Mu Bai felt that with the Coffin Nail in hand, he feared nothing.
As long as it wasn't a Ghost Controller who mastered Restart or a Fierce Ghost capable of Restart, in Su Mu Bai's eyes, they could be taken down with a single nail.
"The Starving Ghost hasn't erupted yet, and it's uncertain which stage it has grown to, but it already has quite a few Ghost Slaves." While thinking, Su Mu Bai looked at the Coffin Nail clutched in his hand.
This was one of the few sources of confidence he had when dealing with the Starving Ghost.
"This Hospital has been completely taken over by the Starving Ghost. Among the ten pregnant women, at least eight are carrying its children!" Su Mu Bai had already discovered over a dozen Starvation Ghost's Ghost Slaves while walking from the First Floor Hall to the third floor.
This was only counting those already born. If the Ghost Infant Ghost Slaves still inside the pregnant women were included, the number of Ghost Slaves would multiply several times!
However, Su Mu Bai's target was not these Ghost Slaves, so he ignored them. What he truly wanted to deal with was the Source of these Ghost Slaves:
The Starving Ghost!
Su Mu Bai's ambition was great; he wanted to invade the Starving Ghost and then Control it.
Thud-thud, thud-thud-thud...!
A series of muffled footsteps came from in front of Su Mu Bai. Su Mu Bai paused, raising his head to look toward the corner of the hallway ahead.
As the footsteps approached, a Shadowy Figure appeared within Su Mu Bai's line of sight!
