Mysterious Awakening

Indeed.

In reality, Yang Jian was even more of a headache than the Yang Jian on the phone.

In just a short moment of contact, Liu Xiaoyu's gaze towards Yang Jian had turned quite strange; if someone with his personality were not a ghost handler, they would definitely starve in society, and absolutely wouldn't have a girlfriend.

"Enough talking, driver brother, let's go and take Mister Yang to the hotel," Liu Xiaoyu said.

The driver in front had just started the car, and Yang Jian said, "I haven't boarded yet, what's the rush?"

"Hmm?" Liu Xiaoyu tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled face.

But she soon realized that the scenery around her had shifted, and she was somehow sitting on a bench next to her, not in the car at all.

"No wonder the driver hasn't made a sound from the start," Liu Xiaoyu bit her lip and said after realizing, "You actually used the Ghost Domain to take me out of the car? When did you make your move?"

"When I kicked, did you really think I was just showing you? I was kicking open the sunroof on top of the car," Yang Jian calmly stood up.

He saw that the sunroof on the car not far away was shattered.

Liu Xiaoyu also got up and said, "You're too cautious, aren't you? This is J city, and you're using the Ghost Domain over such a trivial matter. Aren't you afraid of hastening the revival time of your fierce ghost?"

Her eyes widened, thinking that Yang Jian's actions were immaculately cautious, even to the point of being paranoid.

"If you make a mistake, at most you lose your job and get punished; if I make a mistake, I could die," Yang Jian looked at her and said, "You should get used to the way I do things, it's better for you."

He had experienced many mistakes, and had nearly died in several supernatural events. The reason he was still alive today was because he was always reducing his mistakes.

"J city doesn't have any supernatural events for you to handle, don't be so tense. It's making me jumpy," Liu Xiaoyu said.

"Let's get in the car."

Yang Jian didn't respond to her, gestured towards Wan Delu, and then walked toward the car.

Liu Xiaoyu puffed out her cheeks a little, looked at him somewhat helplessly, and finally followed him quickly.

The vehicle was cruising on the road.

The hustle of J city was several times that of other cities, so unsurprisingly... they were stuck in traffic.

On the road.

Liu Xiaoyu made a simple itinerary, "Your schedule in J city is roughly as follows: rest for two days, and the day after tomorrow, specialized personnel will take you to visit the International Ghost Handler Training Base. Since Sun Yi already assessed your mental condition last time, you don't need to undergo that assessment again. However, the related training is still necessary."

"It won't take too long, about seven days or so."

"After training, you'll make a trip to the headquarters for an award ceremony. The Minister, Deputy Minister, and several team captains from the headquarters will be present."

"Afterwards, someone will take you to tour the research institute. You can raise some of your own questions there, and the staff at the institute will help you solve them."

"Once you leave the research institute, your trip to J city will be over, and you can return to Dachang City. You've been stationed there for a long time. If you have any questions now, just ask. I can answer them for you. If there are any special requests, I can apply for them as well and try to accommodate you."

She held a charter report, glancing at it while speaking.

"Training for seven days? That's too long. I refuse," Yang Jian frowned and said, "I don't want to waste time at any training base."

"It's necessary. Up until now, there hasn't been a single international ghost handler who hasn't undergone training when tasked with overseeing a city," Liu Xiaoyu said, "And during the training, many documents you don't know about will be made available to you, which will be very helpful."

"Trust me, training is really meaningful. The headquarters is very aware of the importance of time for each ghost handler. However, many ghost handlers come into existence accidentally and do not know much about supernatural events. The headquarters has long been responsible for organizing some relevant materials and has even invited a few experienced ghost handlers as instructors."

"Experience and knowledge are helpful for anyone."

Yang Jian then said, "Can't the time be shortened?"

"No, seven days is already the minimum. Training can only be extended, not reduced. The seven-day schedule is also very tight, with only half a day allowed for the ghost handler to rest," Liu Xiaoyu replied.

"What if I refuse?" Yang Jian asked.

Liu Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, and she leaned in to whisper, "Don't be so stubborn at a time like this, trust me once. Follow the arrangements during your time in J city. The captain's plan has already started to roll out, and I hope you will be selected. If you make a mistake now, it would be a huge loss for you."

"Why?" Yang Jian suddenly looked at her.

"What?"

"Why would you want me to be the team leader? I remember you weren't so friendly to me at the beginning,"

Liu Xiaoyu's gaze shifted as she said, "You want to survive, right?"

"Naturally."

"If you want to survive, then I also think you should, although you're cold-blooded, ruthless, selfish, and a bit perverted—but I know you're a good person," Liu Xiaoyu said.

"..." Yang Jian: "I still count as a good person in your eyes after all that?"

"You saved Dachang City," Liu Xiaoyu said.

"That was because I was also caught up in that incident," Yang Jian said.

"You saved Z city," Liu Xiaoyu said.

Yang Jian said, "I did it for revenge, that ghost killed my classmate."

Liu Xiaoyu said with unusual seriousness, "I believe in you, no one is more suited to be a team leader than you, you have the potential."

"That doesn't sound like something you would say," Yang Jian said.

"It wasn't me, it was Zhao Jianguo, Captain Zhao said it. He always had a high opinion of you, and I trust his judgment. He's never wrong about people. When he was in service, he managed many ghost controllers, and he always paid special attention to you," Liu Xiaoyu said.

Yang Jian said offhandedly, "Maybe he's blind."

As the two talked, the car had already pulled up in front of a hotel building and stopped. Wan Delu hadn't said a word during the ride, just holding his own antique vase and shivering, fearful that the contents might accidentally escape.

But his fear was unnecessary.

The ghost, sealed by Gold, was almost no chance of escaping from within.

At least, Yang Jian had yet to see a ghost, once confined, break out on its own.

Because Gold blocked the ghost's perception, even if someone met the ghost's requirements, it wouldn't act since it couldn't sense them.

That's why most of the contained ghosts were quite calm.

"Is this the place?" Yang Jian looked up at the hotel that was several dozen stories high.

Quite lavish.

"I won't accompany you upstairs. I need to report back to headquarters. Remember to call me if there's an issue, this is my private number." Liu Xiaoyu handed Yang Jian a business card, flashing a smile, "Remember, don't cause trouble, and try your best to survive. Believe in yourself."

"I feel like you nag more than my mom," Yang Jian took the business card and said with a cold face.

"Bye." Liu Xiaoyu waved her hand and the car left their sight.

Standing at the hotel entrance, Wan Lude tentatively spoke up, "That girl seems quite nice to you, is she your girlfriend?"

"No," Yang Jian replied.

"Isn't she pretty cute? You could consider her, definitely better than those flashy, vulgar women out there. Taking her home wouldn't be a loss," Wan Delu said with a sheepish smile.

"Who dares marry someone from headquarters? Do you? I certainly don't. I don't want all my secrets to be known inside out," Yang Jian had just finished saying when he noticed a female attendant approaching from behind.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mister Yang, Yang Jian?" the female attendant asked politely and respectfully.

Yang Jian nodded his head.

"Your room has already been prepared. Do you need help with your luggage?"

"No need, I can do it myself. Just take me to my room," said Yang Jian as he picked up the luggage bag at his feet.

"Alright, please follow me."

As Yang Jian walked towards the hotel, he had to admit that he was somewhat apprehensive about staying in hotels. The last incident in Z city, he almost died in one. It was a stroke of luck that the ghost didn't target him first, giving him time to turn the situation around.

Ping'an Grand Hotel!

"Wonder if it's really as 'peaceful' as it claims," Yang Jian thought to himself as he looked at the hotel's sign.
