Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Two Ghosts


    Yang Jian stared intently at the screen of his phone.


    At that moment, an email came in on the screen, disying a special file.


    Dachang City Huanggang Vige supernatural event archive.


    As he continued to scroll down, some rted information began to appear:


    In a certain year and month… a supernatural event suddenly struck Huanggang Vige of Dachang City, and the whole vige vanished overnight.


    Below was a satellite image.


    All the buildings in the vige’s location on the satellite image, along with the vigers, and even the chickens, ducks, and dogs in the vige, were all gone. There was nothing but emptiness all around.


    It was as if a hand-drawn map had been erased with correction fluid.


    Only a nk space was left.


    No, it wasn’t that nothing was left,


    At the very center of this vige, something inexplicably appeared.


    A coffin.


    The image was very clear, Yang Jian could even see the shape of the coffin, its color, and some of the fine details.


    This coffin was identical to the one in the hall of spirits he had seen earlier.


    The only difference was that the coffin in the center of the vige in the picture was… open, and there was a blurry figure standing beside it.


    It wasn’t clear.


    It was as if some force had interfered with the image, and even the most advanced satellites couldn’t capture this thing clearly.


    However, as he continued to scroll down,


    Three days after the Huanggang Vige supernatural event, the mysteriously vanished vige reappeared, but the vigers did not return… Overnight, the entire vige turned into an uninhabited Ghost Vige.


    The incident had a significant impact, and Feng Quan, a ghost handler from Dachang City, was in charge of the investigation.


    The ghost handler mentioned in the file, Feng Quan, must have been Zhou Zheng’s predecessor.


    A certain year, month, and day at 12:50 PM: Ghost handler Feng Quan arrived at Huanggang Vige.


    At 1:15 PM, Feng Quan officially entered Huanggang Vige.


    That was where the action report ended, and what followed was a section of dialogue-based information.


    “It has been confirmed that all vigers have disappeared, likely to have died at the hands of vicious ghosts.”


    “Out of caution, I didn’t venture too deep into the vige.”


    “I saw that coffin; it was open… The figure next to the coffin in the satellite image was confirmed not to be there. I judged the figure to be a Vicious Ghost, with an unknown level of danger.”


    “Nothing seemed to happen today. I’ve decided to take a risk and stay in Huanggang Vige for one day, at least to find out whether that Vicious Ghost is indeed in the vige.”


    “At night, I heard footsteps outside…”


    “The Vicious Ghost appeared.”


    “My situation is very bad, this vige is peculiar, highly unusual, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave; I suggest sealing off the entire vige.”


    “I did my utmost, did everything I could. Don’t touch that coffin, that coffin…”


    The fragmented reports weren’t many, just a few sparse sentences.


    But from these simple dialogues, it was clear that the ghost handler Feng Quan must have died in Huanggang Vige and had not left alive.


    Moreover, some of the dialogue had been deliberately edited out, omitting many important clues.


    These clues must be extremely important.


    “The whole Huanggang Vige once vanished from this world overnight, and although it appeared againter, was the vige that reappeared still the same Huanggang Vige?”


    Yang Jian clenched his fists tightly, “Since it’s not that, then what exactly do the vigers in this vige count for now?”


    Watching the vigers bustling about in the ancestral hall, and the old men chatting in the alleyways, everything seemed so normal.


    Aside from the specters wandering around the vige, one couldn’t see anything unusual.


    “If the vigers have long ceased to exist, then could all these people before my eyes be… ghosts?”


    Aftering to this realization, he felt a bone-chilling coldness.


    He stared at a madam seated in front of her house washing clothes, who returned Yang Jian’s gaze with a polite smile.


    He could not sense the characteristics of a specter from these vigers.


    “No, it can’t be, this conjecture must be wrong, the vigers couldn’t all be ghosts, because there couldn’t possibly be that many ghosts here, and they haven’t shown any strange behaviors, not even signs of being controlled by specters.”


    Yang Jian overturned this terrifying conjecture.


    He had seen people controlled by ghosts before, marked by eeriness and peculiarity, in short, different from normal people.


    But these vigers didn’t have that feel.


    However… if these vigers were not ghosts, then how could one exin their long-term life here without suffering spectral attacks?


    And what kept them from realizing that all the vigers of Huanggang Vige had mysteriously vanished following the first psychic event?


    There is also that message left by Feng Quan.


    What does “Do not disturb that coffin” mean? And what would happen if it were disturbed?


    “We can ignore the rest for now, the immediate priority is to detain the ghost in that coffin, this is a confirmed fact, but what I cannot be sure of is whether there’s only one ghost in this vige… The ‘Sick Ghost’ that coughed and the ghost that killed He Sheng and Ouyang Tian must be different, and if my guess is correct, then where is the second ghost?”


    Yang Jian now hesitated to act.


    He had an inkling that there was a deep connection between these two ghosts.


    One specter was vicious, vicious enough to kill even a ghost controller.


    The other wasn’t malevolent, always seemingly intent on gathering these ghost controllers like himself, as if… it wanted to prevent them from being singled out and killed.


    If this was indeed the case,


    then the ghost that needs to be detained first should be the vicious one that killed the two ghost controllers.


    But if the wrong one was detained first, if the ‘Sick Ghost’ trying to stop the vicious spirit was contained ahead of time,


    without any restraint, heaven knows what that vicious ghost might do.


    After realizing this, Yang Jian was both shocked and fearful.


    Fortunately, he hadn’t acted rashlyst night, but chose to observe and make sure first.


    “Yang Jian, you’re actually all right? That’s great news, there’s been trouble, the whole vige has been sealed off by the specter, we couldn’t leave by car, and had to return to the vige, and justst night, we were attacked by the specter. We thought you were done for, but it seems we were the more unlucky ones; that ghost targeted us first. Luckily, we reacted in time, and the ghost didn’t seed. Otherwise, another one of us would be dead.”


    At this moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly started.


    Three sports cars drove over and parked by the side of the road.


    Zhang Han stepped out of the car, somewhat excitedly describingst night’s events.


    Yang Jian snapped back to reality, looking at Zhang Han with a mix of surprise and suspicion.


    Just from his words, he could entirely confirm his previous guess.


    There are two ghosts in the vige,


    A ‘Sick Ghost,’ and a ‘Vicious Ghost.’


    One inside a coffin, the other roaming outside.


    “No one else will die, if you are willing to cooperate with me, this paranormal problem can be resolved,” Yang Jian suddenly stared at him, speaking very seriously.
