Mysterious Awakening

"There's a colleague of Chong Xiong in the New District Casework Bureau in Xiaochun City who's particularly skilled at restoring handwriting like this. If Yang the Ghost Manipulator really can't wait, he could go to Dachun City to find him. Round trip would probably take about a day. But if you wait for him to come here, it might take around five to six days."

Zang Hua gave Yang Jian a phone number, left behind a file related to Shangtong Technology, and then stood up to leave.

"If there's anything else, you can get in touch with me at any time, Yang the Ghost Manipulator."

Yang Jian said, "Thank you, Captain Zang."

"It's just a small thing I could do. If there's a major issue, we'd need the help of Yang the Ghost Manipulator," Zang Hua commented.

After seeing off Captain Zang and his people, Yang Jian immediately ordered, "Big Sister Jiang, help me purchase a plane ticket to Xiaochun City, I need to head out."

"Buy what plane ticket? Planes and high-speed trains are both grounded. Don't you know about the transportation control measures? My mom wanted to come and see me, but now she can't even buy a ticket," Jiang Yan said, walking out with dark circles under her eyes. She had been helping Yang Jian piece together those torn papers all night and still hadn't finished.

"It seems there is such a thing. I almost forgot," Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan said, "Xiaochun City isn't far, just about five or six hours by car. You should drive there, oh, right, your car broke down. Elder Sister Zhang took it for repairs, and you can't get it back until tomorrow."

"Aren't you the big shot of the Casework Bureau? Why don't you take a helicopter?" Jiang Yan walked over with interest and asked, "Can't you get a helicopter, or why not use one to go?"

"I've never tried, but it should be possible. Still, who knows when the approval would come through. I'll figure something out myself. I won't be back tonight. Stay here by yourself, and if anything happens, contact Captain Zang," Yang Jian said.

He didn't want to waste any time. It was just a round trip, and he should be able to settle everything by tomorrow if all went well.

Otherwise, who knows how much more time would be wasted.

Then, he turned and left.

Since transportation control measures were in place, and it was inconvenient to travel, Yang Jian had no choice but to indulge himself and use the Ghost Domain to speed up his journey.

Even though he knew that wasting his powers like this was a terrible thing to do, people are like that. Once they have incredible powers, they can't help but use them, especially now that Yang Jian no longer felt the revival of fierce ghosts. His inner worries were not as acute, and his restraint was lowered.

"Just use one layer of the Ghost Domain."

Red light gradually emerged from Yang Jian's body, enveloping him and then forming a long rainbow stretching from his body into the sky above.

In a moment.

He disappeared from the spot.

With just one layer of the Ghost Domain, his speed could reach the speed of sound. If he exerted his full power, he probably could achieve speeds several times the speed of sound, so much so that he felt crossing the Pacific Ocean to reach the other side of the Earth wouldn't be difficult.

The powers of a malevolent spirit are originally terrifying and strange, but once harnessed by a human, they become a magical force.

However, this kind of power comes with a heavy price.

Ten minutes later.

Yang Jian appeared at the entrance of the New District Casework Bureau in Xiaochun City.

The passersby nearby paid no attention to the inconspicuous corner where one more person had suddenly appeared.

"Get me Chong Xiong from the New District Casework Bureau in Xiaochun City, tell him I want to see him. I'm outside the Casework Bureau, and he should not have left work yet," Yang Jian directly contacted Liu Xiaoyu through satellite-positioned mobile communication. ɌἈŊȏʙË𐌔

A command transmitted through Liu Xiaoyu held more authority. If Yang Jian made the call himself, the other party would hardly bother.

So although the privileges of international Ghost Manipulators are significant, this depends on whether the headquarters are willing to cooperate with you. Without their support, your special rights are nothing but paper, utterly useless.

Yang Jian had joined the international Ghost Manipulators for a while and gradually understood how things worked.

After the end of the 'big C' event, his treatment had noticeably improved. Although it was not visible, Yang Jian could feel it.

"All right, connecting to Xiaochun City department now," not Liu Xiaoyu's voice answered from the other side of the phone but that of another operator, who sounded very sexy and a bit tempting, not like a professional communicator at all.

Yang Jian asked, "Who are you? You're not Liu Xiaoyu?"

"Hello, Yang Jian. I am your second operator, Qin Meirou. From now on, I will be alternating with Liu Xiaoyu to provide you services," the new operator named Qin Meirou said.

"Your voice carries a strong sense of indecorousness. Is it natural? Or are you deliberately using such a tone with me?" Yang Jian asked. "Is the headquarters investigating my preferences for women and purposely arranging for you to take this position?"

"No, it's not like that. Your work right now is extremely important, and Liu Xiaoyu alone cannot guarantee 24-hour phone availability. But rest assured, my professional dedication and service will definitely be better and more meticulous than Liu Xiaoyu, ensuring no delays in your work," Qin Meirou replied.

"You say you do a better job than Liu Xiaoyu? I don't believe it. I must test you to see if you're really as competent as you claim," Yang Jian said.

"How would you like to test me?" Qin Meirou's alluring voice inquired.

Yang Jian said, "Your voice is so pleasant; call out for me a couple of times... you know what I mean."

Immediately, silence fell on the other end of the phone, sans any response.

Yang Jian continued, "A woman's sense of shame is her biggest enemy. It seems your mental toughness isn't that strong. Are you too shy to call out even twice? You should resign, and get Liu Xiaoyu on the line. I'm highly skeptical of your ability to do the job. If there's an incident, it won't just be me who suffers; it could be an entire cityful of people.

Like now, you've gone silent when I asked you to call out twice. What if there's an urgent supernatural event, and I need you to call out twice to attract a ghost's attention through satellite-positioned mobile communication, but you hesitate—that would be a disaster, wouldn't it?"

"You office workers don't have to take risks. Us field workers are playing with our lives every day. If you treat your work like a joke, you're treating my life like a joke. Asking you to resign is only fair to me."

"And do you believe that if I ask Liu Xiaoyu to call out twice, she'll do it without hesitation?"

After a series of earnest statements, it was as if Qin Meirou's failure to obey his command to call out twice would be a disservice to the nation and the people.

"So how do you want me to call out?" Qin Meirou, who had been silent for a while, spoke up again, "Ah, like this?"

"Is that a cry for help? Make it sexier, more seductive," Yang Jian instructed.

"Hmm~!" Qin Meirou's voice became a lot more seductive, though it still felt very forced.

Yang Jian said, "Are you giving birth? Or is someone punching your stomach? Do I need to teach you this? Isn't this a natural skill for a woman? Where did all your talent go?"

...

"That's enough," Yang Jian said.

"..." The phone on the other end instantly went quiet.
