Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Arriving at J City
“Good news, Yang Jian successfully resolved the paranormal event on the flight, and the source of that evil ghost has been contained.”
Word of this reached headquarters, where Qin Meirou, who was in charge of monitoring, was overjoyed and promptly reported the news.
“Resolved, huh? Very good, we’re always confident in Yang Jian’s work, despite him being a bit hot-tempered and having a somewhat poor character, but his ability is beyond question. It’s only been an hour since the paranormal event arose, and he’s already taken care of it. That deserves commendation. What’s the current casualty situation?” Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua’s voice came over the phone.
Qin Meirou said, “Minister, there are currently five confirmed casualties, two pilots and three passengers.”
“Looks like it’s broken the record for the number of casualties in a paranormal event,” Cao Yanhua reflected.
Having only five deaths in a paranormal event was almost inconceivable. Typically, from the start to the end of such an event, there would at least be dozens of casualties.
“However, Minister, due to the paranormal event, the plane Yang Jian is on has lost control and is currently plummeting. It’ll likely crash in less than two minutes,” Qin Meirou then said with a heavy tone.
Cao Yanhua chuckled; “That’s something Yang Jian can handle. He possesses the Ghost Domain. It’s not just one problematic airplane, even if it were a hundred planes, he could keep them safe. Prepare to have ground personnel ready for support.”
“Okay, I’ll notify them immediately,” said Qin Meirou quickly.
At this very moment.
On the disaster-struck plane.
Even though the plane was still falling, Yang Jian remained calm as he wrapped the hand in gold foil and placed it in a golden box. Although he didn’t solder it shut, the hand was no longer moving around.
It was because Yang Jian discovered that gold still existed even in the third layer of the Ghost Domain.
And it was precisely for this reason that gold could contain ghosts.
“Is this why gold can imprison ghosts?” Yang Jian looked at the shape of the hand in the box, knowing that it seemed there was a hand inside, but in fact, there was nothing there.
This thing would only manifest in the third layer of the Ghost Domain; otherwise, it simply did not exist.
Like a curse, invisible to the naked eye, an ordinary ghost controller would be utterly helpless against it, only able to stay away, a sort of unsolvable existence.
“It’s only now that I have understood the significance of gold, yet Wang Xiaoming, through his solo research, discovered this principle a year ago… How many secrets does that guy know?” Yang Jian’s thoughts suddenly turned to Wang Xiaoming.
Gold was his discovery, Ghost Candle was his research; his understanding of evil ghosts was deeper than anyone else’s.
So when Yang Jian really delved into some truths, he realized just how terrifying that Bruce Pi was.
“I must find an opportunity to meet him, to clarify some matters.” Yang Jian secured the golden box and looked in the direction of J City.
Remember, Wang Xiaoming’s lab was in J City.
“But now is not the time to think about that; the plane is about to crash. Let’s handle this crisis first.” He looked out the window and saw that the ground was very close now.
In at most a minute, the plane was going to crash.
But Yang Jian wasn’t worried at all, having a natural advantage over other ghost controllers. That is, he had the Ghost Domain from the moment he controlled his first ghost.
If it were ghost controllers like Tong Qian or Feng Quan, they would only be able to watch helplessly as the plane went down, utterly powerless to do anything.
The next moment.
Yang Jian had enveloped the entire plane with a layer of the Ghost Domain.
The plane, which was originally descending, suddenly stopped and began floating in mid-air in an impossible manner. Even though it had lost power, it did not fall.
“Cars are driven often, but I haven’t piloted a plane before. Now that the matter is resolved, let’s continue flying to J City. It’ll save us from having to transfer flights later.” Yang Jian didn’t want to waste time. Since he had used the Ghost Domain, he might as well send the plane back to J City’s airport.
He ignored the screaming and collapsing passengers in the cabin.
He appeared outside the plane, standing on the nose.
“Within one minute, this flight will land in J City’s hangar. Arrange for personnel to receive it on your end,” Yang Jian said to a satellite GPS phone.
“Okay, I got it,” Qin Meirou’s voice sounded a bit unnatural because this was the last time she would work with Yang Jian.
Although brief, she had witnessed Yang Jian thwart calamities and resolve one critical incident after another.
If supernatural incidents could be publicized, Yang Jian’s news would probably be all over the sky by now, all of them heroic deeds that would shake the whole society.
Yet, this man was so detached that it was chilling, selfish and ruthless, with a volatile temper, a complete archetype of a criminal.
Some well-regarded ghost manipulators, like Zhou Zheng, already had grass growing over their graves, and even their deaths brought about a series of terrible consequences. Yet, people like Yang Jian, who almost let themselves loose, survived, and lived quite well.
So, when Qin Meirou pondered these issues, her feelings were particularly complicated.
She admired Yang Jian’s ability to single-handedly turn the tide of the entire situation, a heroic feat, and yet she despised his cold-blooded and merciless nature, his willingness to watch others die without helping.
Yet, these two traits were found in the same person.
“Possessing the body of an Evil Ghost, performing the deeds of a Bodhisattva,” Qin Meirou recalled a phrase someone had once said.
It was from the top-recognized ghost manipulator stationed in J City, ensuring the overall stability of Asia.
At this moment, Yang Jian stood on the nose of this passenger plane, bathed in sunlight, overlooking the entire earth, and using the power of the Ghost Domain to carry the plane beneath his feet towards J City.
He meant it literally when he said he would make it to J City within a minute.
With his current Ghost Domain, he could easily cover a radius of ten kilometers. If it was just for traveling, even he couldn’t estimate how fast he could go. He only knew that circumnavigating the globe wouldn’t be particularly difficult; it was just that he didn’t want to waste his abilities on such a boring attempt.
A streak of red light, like a hallucination, flashed across the sky above.
The power of a fierce ghost utilized to this extent by Yang Jian was also rare.
In just over half a minute, a plane eerily appeared over J City’s airport, like a ghost train or ghost ship from urban legends, enough to leave people agape. But now, it was likely that J City would have a legend about a haunted plane.
“The rumored ‘Ghost Eye Yang Jian’ has arrived!”
Near the cabin, numerous special personnel looked at the suddenly appearing plane with peculiar gazes. They had already received notice and were well-prepared to meet it, so they knew some insider information.
“This Yang Jian is really arrogant, arriving in J City on the back of a plane. Isn’t he afraid of suddenly dropping dead?” A few ghost manipulators prepared to receive couldn’t help but sneer secretly.
“If you could handle so many high-level supernatural events and still be alive, you’d have the right to be arrogant,” someone retorted coldly. “At the last Dachang City conference, quite a few people suffered at the hands of Yang Jian. He’s not a simple character. Even Wang Xiaoqiang, the brother of Wang Xiaoming, was killed by him. If it were you, would you dare?”
