“It’s fine, you keep sleeping.”
Yang Jian’s tone did not change in the slightest. He looked at the Headless Ghost Shadow on the ground with a somewhat solemn expression, deep in thought, seemingly completely oblivious to the white expanse on Jiang Yan’s chest.
For most Ghost Controllers, their bodies gradually being eroded by Supernatural Power means they have slowly drifted outside the scope of normal people.
Coupled with the risk of Ghost Revival occurring at any moment, every day is spent struggling and enduring torment, thus suffering dual torture from the soul and the flesh.
Under these multiple factors, the person will more or less develop some issues, such as becoming neurotic, or experiencing drastic personality changes, schizophrenia, and so on.
Therefore, most Ghost Controllers have lost much of their interest in Women, and some Ghost Controllers whose bodies have been severely eroded by Supernatural Power no longer possess normal physiological reactions.
As a member of the Ghost Controllers, Yang Jian was naturally also affected by the Fierce Ghost within his body, his heart beginning to grow cold, and his interest in romance was limited only to venting desire.
“What an unromantic man!” Jiang Yan mumbled, rubbing her sleepy Eyes, preparing to get up to use the restroom.
However, the next moment.
Jiang Yan’s movement to get off the bed abruptly stopped.
At this moment, she also noticed something was wrong in the room. The room was enveloped by a strange red light, and as Yang Jian’s “Woman,” she naturally recognized Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain.
“There’s… a ghost in the room?!” Jiang Yan’s heart trembled. She quickly retreated, going directly to Yang Jian’s side and tightly hugging his arm.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting strange!” Yang Jian frowned as he looked at Jiang Yan clutching his arm.
Jiang Yan’s entire body was trembling slightly, appearing extremely frightened.
Jiang Yan’s face was filled with terror, and even her voice trembled slightly as she spoke: “Yang… Yang Jian… is this room haunted? What are you…”
“There was a small issue, but it’s resolved now. This is very normal. Every Ghost Controller’s surroundings are dangerous; you should understand this point.”
Yang Jian’s tone was very Calm. He continued looking at Jiang Yan: “Go do whatever you needed to do. This room is currently covered by my Ghost Domain; it is safer than anywhere else!”
“R-really?” Jiang Yan released Yang Jian’s arm, preparing to get off the bed again to use the restroom. That scare had almost made her wet herself.
“Ah~~~ Ghost, a ghost!”
However, this time, Jiang Yan’s reaction was even more intense. She was so scared that she jumped straight out of bed and hid under the covers, shivering.
On the floor of the room, a tall shadow without a Head was pinned down by five eerie crimson Eyes.
The red light enveloping the room was emanating from these five Eyes.
Jiang Yan was very familiar with the Headless Ghost Shadow, a Fierce Ghost. She had experienced the Supernatural Event involving the Headless Ghost Shadow at the mall before.
It could be said that she had developed a psychological shadow regarding this headless shadow—a fear originating from the depths of her heart!
What Jiang Yan did not know was that the Headless Ghost Shadow had already been successfully controlled by Yang Jian with the help of the Human Skin Paper, becoming the second Fierce Ghost he controlled.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine now, no need to be afraid!” Yang Jian, sitting on the bed, curved his lips upward; clearly, this scene was within his expectations.
“What were you going to do? Go ahead and do it now,” Yang Jian continued.
“N-nothing… I don’t need to do anything…” Jiang Yan responded tremblingly.
Although the urge to urinate was stronger, Jiang Yan did not want to go to the restroom. She would rather hold it in than face the Headless Ghost Shadow on the floor.
“Then suit yourself.” Yang Jian lay back down again, turned over, and closed his Eyes to continue sleeping.
The red light enveloping the room disappeared. The crimson Ghost Eyes on the Headless Ghost Shadow on the ground closed again, and the Headless Ghost Shadow returned to Calm, showing no signs of further Action.
………………
Dachang City in the early morning was full of vitality. Located in the south, the night dew was heavy, and the flowers and trees seemed even more vibrant after being nourished by the dew.
A day’s plan starts in the morning. At five in the morning, some businesses in Dachang City had already opened, the vast majority of which were breakfast shops.
“Beep beep…”
Vehicles occasionally passed by on the city streets, pedestrians had gradually started appearing on the sidewalks, and the street-sweeping aunties had begun their busy work by the roadside.
“Another all-nighter. People who Work don’t deserve rest time!” A Male in his twenties complained among the crowd.
His name was Chu Heng; he was a salesman at a private enterprise.
The job of a salesman was originally nine-to-five, not very tiring except for evening socializing, rarely requiring overtime, and including weekends off.
But Chu Heng was an exception. Recently, a contract for a project he was responsible for had encountered an issue, and the client refused to pay after the company completed the order.
As one of the main people in charge of this project, Chu Heng’s life had been difficult for the past few days, working overtime every day to reorganize documents and communicate with the client.
“But thankfully, after pulling an all-nighter yesterday, I finished organizing everything. Communicating with the client again today should resolve the issue,” a tired smile appeared on Chu Heng’s exhausted face.
“Auntie, give me a Jianbing Guozi, two eggs, no chili!” Chu Heng said to an auntie running a roadside stall.
As the saying goes, eat what you need to replenish. His body felt a bit weak recently, so two eggs should help.
“Coming right up! Takeout or eat here?” The stall auntie immediately asked enthusiastically upon hearing a customer.
“Takeout!”
Chu Heng continued: “How much is that in total?”
“Seven yuan!”
“Got it, I’ll scan with WeChat!”
……………
Taking the packaged Jianbing Guozi from the stall auntie’s hand, Chu Heng started walking toward his home.
Having worked through the night, he needed to rest first, and only then would he go communicate with the client in the Afternoon, otherwise, he genuinely worried he might collapse from exhaustion and die suddenly.
Chu Heng was not a local of Dachang City; his hometown was in Xiaochun City, and he came to Dachang City alone for Work.
The Jianli residential area where Chu Heng lived was not too far from here, but Chu Heng knew a shortcut—a small alley that led directly to the road where his residential area was located.
Tap tap, tap tap tap…!
In the quiet alley, only Chu Heng’s footsteps echoed.
“Why does this alley feel strange today? It seems much more Chilling than usual. Did the temperature drop?” Chu Heng muttered, tightening his clothes as he walked.
“What is this?”
Suddenly, Chu Heng stopped walking and looked up toward the sky above.
Strands of black, unknown gas drifted down from the air. The environment in the alley suddenly grew Dim, and a layer of Mist eerily rose around him.
Mist filled and churned!
What was even more Eerie was that this Mist… was black!
