Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 193: Doubts in his heart

"Why did you take so long to come back? Is there really a ghost in that house?" On the way back, Jiang Yan leaned close to Yang Jian and asked cautiously, "If there really is a problem, wouldn't it be dangerous to live here?"

"It's even more dangerous to live where you are. There are more ghosts in the city center, and there are fewer here," Yang Jian said, looking at the ghost mirror in his hand. "Nowadays, the world is full of supernatural occurrences. It's not safe to live anywhere."

"If you want complete safety, you have to rely on a ghost tamer to protect an area. Only then can it be considered safe."

After saying that, he looked at the neighborhood. "The environment, location, and transportation here all meet my requirements. Most importantly, the surrounding area is undeveloped and has fewer people, so the chances of triggering supernatural events are low. Besides, I am a local in Da Chang City. Why would I live in another province?"

"Supernatural events also happen in other provinces. It might not be a good idea to go there."

Yang Jian couldn't deny that Da Chang City, as a big city, did have more supernatural events compared to smaller cities with fewer people, which would be more suitable for settling down.

But he was a local, and he had been living here all his life. If there were no special reasons, he didn't want to leave his hometown.

"Starting tomorrow, you have to go to work for me," Yang Jian suddenly said.

"What do you want me to buy this time?" Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, excited.

Her current task was to spend money, whether it was a large sum or not. This suited her profession perfectly. No matter how much money there was, she could calculate it accurately and spend it reasonably.

Yang Jian said, "You're thinking too much. Tomorrow, go to General Zhang's sales department. I have a 40% stake in this neighborhood, and you have to help me manage the money."

As soon as he said that, Jiang Yan widened her eyes. "What? You own half of the neighborhood?"

"Of course, why else would I move here?" Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan quickly calculated in her mind. If Yang Jian owned 40% of the entire neighborhood, then it would be worth at least several billion yuan.

She was ecstatic. She hugged Yang Jian and kissed him several times. "You're amazing! We're going to get rich!"

Jiang Yan witnessed Yang Jian's journey from rags to riches. It had only been a little over a month, and the speed of making money was incredible.

"Don't be so affectionate, and let me correct you. I'm the one getting rich, not you," Yang Jian said, placing his hand on her face and pushing her away.

Jiang Yan held onto Yang Jian's arm and refused to let go. "Don't be so stingy. What's yours is mine."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian looked at her.

Jiang Yan quickly changed her words. "What's mine is yours."

"That's more like it."

Yang Jian nodded. "You'll start working tomorrow. General Zhang will arrange the specific tasks. General Zhang, Jiang Yan is a professional accountant. Do you have any objections to her working in the sales department?"

Zhang Xiangu, who was sitting in the front seat, smiled. "It's best to have an accountant sent by Brother Yang. It makes the accounting easier."

He thought Yang Jian would be a hands-off boss who wouldn't care about anything and just wait for the money.

But now it seemed that he was not that naive. The woman by his side thought she was just being kept, but she turned out to be an accountant. You couldn't tell just by looking at her.

Zhang Xiangu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, he admired Yang Jian's way of doing things. He was organized and not someone who acted recklessly.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, had met a good friend in his life.

Zhang Xiangu didn't care if Yang Jian had money or not. He only cared if he had the ability. He had money himself, but he lacked someone capable to accompany him in the future. Only then could he rest assured.

Time flew by, and three days passed quickly.

During these days, Yang Jian stayed in his villa and didn't go out. He only replenished some special tools, such as almost depleted special bullets, body bags, and some miscellaneous items like gold foil paper and gold smelting tools, which would help him create some things.

He spent nearly 60 million yuan in total.

After that, he also bought some furniture, a few pickup trucks, and stocked up on daily necessities. In the end, Yang Jian had only over 30 million yuan left in his hands.

He was about to become a pauper again.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan had started working at Zhang Xiangu's new sales department, so there was no need to worry about funds in the future.

During these days, the old mansion from the Republican era was also undergoing repairs day and night. Zhang Xiangu personally supervised the construction, so Yang Jian didn't have to worry about the quality and other taboos.

He believed that it would be repaired in less than ten days. In addition, the foundation had already been laid around the house, preparing to build a temple to conceal the old mansion.

Of course, Yang Jian didn't care about any of this.The three-day wait was not a meaningless waste, at least he could confirm that the ghost in the Ghost Mirror really couldn't get out, no matter where Zhang Wei was, the ghost in the mirror did not follow him.

His previous guess was correct.

The Ghost Mirror was most afraid of being illuminated by another mirror, otherwise, the ghost inside would be transferred out with the other mirror.

Early this morning.

Yang Jian got up.

As usual, he hardly slept all night, just dozed off occasionally, but quickly woke up.

Because he had to maintain a certain degree of alertness, wary of the Ghost Shadow under his feet that could lose control at any time.

The control of the second ghost was still immature and flawed.

It just prolonged the revival time of the fierce ghost, the crisis still existed.

However, long periods of staying up late and insomnia did not affect Yang Jian's spirit. If he didn't feel tired and needed to rest, he could live normally without sleep for 24 hours a day, just like he had insomnia.

Speaking of insomnia, Yang Jian had looked it up online. In the past, people abroad had suffered from this disease, they could stay awake all day and night, and amazingly, this state did not affect the patient's life and work.

Now it seems that the so-called patients are very likely to be ghost controllers abroad.

It's just that some organizations release some news that avoids the important and dwells on the trivial, confusing the public.

People pay attention to this insomnia, and they will ignore the existence of ghost controllers.

On the fifth floor of the manor villa.

After the renovation, it was left vacant here, with no use at all.

But in one of the rooms, the Ghost Mirror brought out from the old house was placed here.

To prevent the stand from rotting and breaking, Yang Jian directly replaced this Ghost Mirror with a new stand, and also replaced it with a thick black cloth cover. The old oilcloth was almost rotten and unusable.

And on the walls around, not only was there no reflection, but they were all painted black by a worker Yang Jian had hired, even the windows.

So this room seemed very dark, pitch-black and somewhat oppressive.

But the darkness didn't affect anything, on the contrary, it was safe for the placement of this Ghost Mirror.

"Tell me, what exactly is this Ghost Mirror? What are the other two rooms left in that old house? You must know, right?"

Yang Jian sat in the chair in the room, took out the long-sealed Human Skin Paper from a golden box.

The doubts in his heart were too great, after thinking for a long time, he still decided to ask this eerie Human Skin Paper.

Yang Jian knew that this thing knew more than he imagined.

And because of its uncontrollable and eerie existence, he had completely sealed it in a golden container after the Huangang incident, and did not plan to use it lightly.

However, the existence of the three rooms in the old house made him vaguely uneasy, so he wanted to dig deep into the root of the matter and know the whole story.

The Human Skin Paper still seemed very normal as before, and there was no change because it swallowed a ghost in Huangang Village, which was good news.

Soon, a line of text appeared on the Human Skin Paper.

"Three days ago, I followed the ghost around Zhang Wei to an old house from the Republic of China period. The place was full of eeriness, I could feel that it was very different from other places. I went to the second floor and saw three rooms, which made me very wary."

"In the third room, I found a mirror, a Ghost Mirror, as I call it."

The text stopped here.

Yang Jian's face darkened.

Isn't this just talking nonsense?

He already knew all these things, there was no need for it to say.

After satisfying its request last time, it seemed to have some intention of going on strike, unwilling to reveal some key useful information.
