Mysterious Revival

Chapter 146: Chapter 146 begins with a battle.

Yang Jian’s sudden appearance caught everyone in the conference room off guard.

Just now, they were discussing whether to eliminate this uncertain factor in Dachang City; as soon as they made a decision, the man himself showed up at their door.

Was it a coincidence, or was it deliberate?

“If you want to deal with me, I have no objections. After all, who doesn’t have a few enemies when they’re out and about? However, I’d like to ask why. It seems I haven’t offended anyone present, have I?”

Yang Jian sat on the conference table, unfazed by the five or six guns pointed at him, showing no sign of fear on his face.

He was calm, so calm it appeared as if he didn’t take the people in the room seriously.

“President Wang, as the president of the club, can you explain this to me? Just starting hostilities for no apparent reason, I’m afraid your men might die without understanding why, which would be a pity.”

President Wang spoke gravely, “You don’t have a feud with the Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club, but your appearance has blocked some people’s paths. The situation in Dachang City needs to be controlled by certain people, not left in the hands of an anonymous student like you. Perhaps you haven’t realized your own importance, but indeed, you pose a potential threat.”

“Once you pass the assessment and become an international ghost manipulator, you will take over the public security of Dachang City. With your succession, the interest groups in Dachang City will see significant changes, and this is something many people don’t want to see—your uncontrollable nature is just too great.”

“Is that reason sufficient?”

Yang Jian looked at him, “A power struggle? It indeed fits the mindset of adults like you, doing anything for profit, with little regard for human life. So tell me, was it you who killed Yan Li and his family of four?”

“Yan Li’s death has nothing to do with the club. I am a man of principles. I would never lay a hand on a club member. Didn’t he die due to ghost resurgence?” President Wang replied, looking at him.

“Died due to ghost resurgence?”

Yang Jian sneered, “I’m talking about his entire family of four being dead. Are you pretending not to hear? Would ghost resurgence go after his family? I just came from Yan Li’s house. His wife and two children have been hanging from the chandelier, rotting for days.”

“Tell me, who did this?”

“I don’t know about that, and it’s none of your business. You should worry more about yourself. The club isn’t a place you can just come and go as you please. And I’m not afraid to tell you, just in the meeting we had, the Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club has decided to eliminate you as an unfavorable factor, due to the losses we sustained because of the Huanggang Village incident.”

“Because of you, we lost four ghost manipulators, causing huge losses to the club and affecting many people’s interests. Don’t you think you owe us an explanation?” President Wang said sternly.

The number of ghost manipulators was already limited.

With the trip to Huangang Village, the Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club lost four members, plus Zhang Han’s departure and Yan Li’s death, equated to an indirect loss of six people.

This blame had to be laid on Yang Jian.

President Wang needed his death to sustain the club’s operation, and of course, there were other reasons, but this was just one of them.

“An explanation? Since your club wants an explanation, then fine, I will give you one.”

Yang Jian picked up a roll of duct tape from the side table and threw it to President Wang.

“Here’s your duct tape, take it.”

“You’re fucking asking for it, showing such arrogance here. President Wang, there’s no need for you to pussyfoot around with him. If you don’t make a move, I sure as hell will.” Lei Hu, the bald hulk by his side, spoke with a hint of anger; “So what if he’s a ghost manipulator? With five or six guns pointed at him, even a god would kneel. Does he really think he’s invincible just because he has some abilities?”

“Can’t kill a ghost, but can’t we kill this guy? ”

Yang Jian glanced at him, “Doesn’t any of your men have a brain? Are matters of ghost manipulators really for ordinary people to meddle in? Is it because you think your life has been too long or that you find it lacking a bit of excitement?”

“Yang Jian, you’re very clever. From the beginning, you’ve kept your abilities hidden. Even when Zhao Kaiming pulled up your ghost manipulator files, he only obtained some trivial details about your family background, and regarding the ghost you command, it was just two words: Ghost Eye. That’s why your file has the moniker ‘Ghost Eye Ghost Manipulator.'”

President Wang said, “After coming out of Huanggang Village, you must have met my brother. Though I don’t know what deal you struck with him, you probably haven’t had the chance to control a second ghost yet. The time since the resurgence of the fierce ghost isn’t long enough.”

“So, an ordinary person can handle you too.”

“So what are we waiting for? Come on then, today either you kill me here, or I kill you.” Yang Jian sat in front of the conference table, propping his head up and staring at President Wang.

He didn’t care about the others there.

If they were not ghost manipulators, they were cannon fodder.

“You’re very confident, Yang Jian. What did you get from my brother?”

What President Wang feared wasn’t Yang Jian, but his brother.

Yang Jian replied, “Maybe I got nothing. What’s the matter? Scared? But don’t worry, even though I have a bit of rapport with Bruce Pi, I won’t show any mercy when it’s time to kill you. You can rest assured.”

President Wang’s eyes narrowed; he said nothing more but gestured to Lei Hu and the others.

Although these men were not ghost manipulators, they all had strong professional skills. Even a regular ghost manipulator would find them troublesome, unable to completely ignore the harm ordinary people could inflict.

Unless Yang Jian controlled a ghost that was an unsolvable entity.

But the probability of that was almost nonexistent.

“Do it~!”

Lei Hu gave a signal to the others, immediately chambering rounds, and took out a special weapon made of Gold from his waist.

“Wait, wait, your fight has nothing to do with us. Can you let us leave before you start fighting?” A man dressed in a suit, looking like a corporate president, spoke with some panic.

They were only shareholders, funding the operation of the club; they didn’t want to get involved in such a life-and-death struggle.

“What are you thinking? As adults, can’t you be less naive?”

Yang Jian said calmly, “Of course, when you cut grass, you must remove the roots. Weren’t these people just raising their hands in agreement? Since they raised their hands, they naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences. Killing someone must be avenged, this is only natural…”

“Bang~!”

Before he could finish speaking, immediately a gunshot rang out.

The bullet hit its mark without error, piercing straight through Yang Jian’s brow, leaving a hole behind.

Yet, there was no blood flowing out.

“I haven’t finished speaking, and you choose now to make your move; you really do pick your moments,” Yang Jian’s head slowly turned around, fixing his gaze on the person who fired the sneak shot.

His shadow swiftly flowed along the ground, seeping into the soles of his feet, and then rapidly fused into his body.

The shooter’s body trembled slightly, but then felt no other sensations of oddity, merely a sudden chill.

“Everyone, attack together. He’s a supernatural entity controller, abilities unknown, watch his eyes,” Lei Hu growled lowly, firing round after round at Yang Jian.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A succession of gunfire merged into a deafening roar.

The specially made bullets could kill most ordinary supernatural entity controllers unless it’s the likes of Ye Jun and Yan Li, those whose bodies were already dead.

“Let’s take this opportunity to see just what Yang Jian’s abilities are,” Wang Xiaoqiang stood by, not planning to take action.

Not understanding Yang Jian’s abilities, rushing in was a very reckless thing to do.

The gunfire was fierce in its coming and quick in its leaving.

Soon, the air was filled with the scent of burning gunpowder, and several company presidents hid behind, not daring to approach, afraid of being accidentally injured. After all, these were real bullets, and a careless mistake could result in death.

However, the next moment.

Lei Hu and the others’ pupils contracted, feeling shocked.

Right in front of them, Yang Jian was still sitting in his original position, not having moved an inch, and apart from some more bullet holes in his body, he looked no different from an unharmed person as he watched them.

“Ran out of bullets? One hundred thousand yuan a bullet, you really are willing to spend. Each person must have lost over a million, at least.”

“Impossible, how can you be unharmed?” Someone roared in shock.

The bullet holes on Yang Jian’s body gradually disappeared, just like bullet holes in a shooting game that would be automatically refreshed by the system after a while, and soon all traces were wiped away.

He returned to his previous state.

“With your brains, it’s very hard to explain to you, so it’s better not to explain at all, since you’re all people who are going to die anyway.”

Yang Jian, still sitting in his seat, now raised his hand with a pistol as well, pointing it at one of the men: “Using other methods to kill you would seem too cruel on my part. Since you’re willing to spend so much, I can’t be stingy.”

“I can afford a bullet that costs one hundred thousand yuan as well.”

“No good.”

The man being pointed at by the gun’s color suddenly changed as he quickly performed the most standard and swiftest evasive maneuver.

With this maneuver, unless it was a veteran often handling guns, one would probably miss the vital points at most.

“Bang~!”

However, as soon as the gunshot sounded, the professional immediately crumpled to the ground with a thud, his brow shattered, blood spurting everywhere.

To the onlookers, his attempt at evasion seemed as futile as a frog’s final leap before death.

Utterly useless.

Even somewhat comical, inducing the urge to laugh.

But in this situation, no one could bring themselves to laugh.

“Next.”

Yang Jian still remained sitting in place, his gun now pointing at a second person.

“Damn it.”

The man, having witnessed the previous scene, broke out in a cold sweat and, in a panic, immediately ducked under the conference table.

These special bullets lacked penetration, fine for hitting a person, but once obstructed by an object, their lethality was greatly reduced, not comparable to ordinary bullets in terms of penetrating power.

After all, they were not designed for killing people…

But just as he thought this, a gunshot rang out.

The man fell to the ground in response, the back of his head exploded, and blood sprayed out, splashing several nearby company presidents with blood, scaring them until their faces went pale and their bodies shook.

The situation seemed very dire indeed.
