Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 347: Chapter 346 Searching for Someone

This is a private mansion located in the suburbs of City Z.

Secluded and far from the city center, it was unknown which wealthy individual used it as a vacation home, but some time ago, this private mansion changed owners.

The new homeowner was Luo Su Yi.

On the surface, he was a rich second generation who seemed to do nothing, idling his days away, but in reality, his true identity was that of a member of a paranormal forum, a spirit controller, dealing with occult events beyond the wildest imagination of ordinary people.

However, as one of the spirit controllers with a very low survival rate, Luo Su Yi did have some self-awareness.

He hadn’t chosen to go it alone, instead, he had made several friends of the same kind, so that the safety factor could be greatly increased should any incidents arise as long as they acted together.

But Luo Su Yi, who had been in City Z for only a little over ten days, planned to leave tonight.

"Pack up, we can’t stay in City Z anymore, we’ve got to leave,” said Luo Su Yi, returning to the living room in a rush after finishing a phone call.

There weren’t many people in the living room, a middle-aged man, and a young woman who looked to be about twenty.

They were friends and companions of Luo Su Yi.

Huang Fei was watching TV with his mobile phone and now looked up in astonishment, “What? Leaving now? It’s the middle of the night, I’m about to go to sleep, is there something so urgent it can’t wait till tomorrow?”

"I’d like to wait till tomorrow, but there’s no time. The situation in City Z has worsened. According to the information I’ve received, it seems that Ghost Face Tong Qian was rescued by Yang Jian from the Caesar Hotel, but what’s worse is that those two international spirit controllers, Guo Fan and Feng Quan, seem to be trapped inside,” Luo Su Yi explained.

Huang Fei said, “Just because of this, we have to leave? That’s not necessary. Yang Jian from Dachang City even came here, the situation here will be resolved sooner or later, no matter what, we are the external support requested by Zhao Jianguo. It’s already not right for us to be hiding here watching TV and playing games, and now fleeing, if Zhao Jianguo finds out, it won’t be easy to explain.”

"If we offend the headquarters too much and they issue a warrant, we’ll be done for.”

The Asia headquarters held great power, and even they, as civilian spirit controllers, had to show some respect and couldn’t be completely unheeding, otherwise a single command could bring an abrupt end to their good days.

"I was actually quite happy to spend a few days in City Z, but now I can’t stick it out. Think about it, Yang Jian has come to City Z, Tong Qian has been rescued, that should be good news, right? But why hasn’t Yang Jian immediately gone to support when his two teammates, Guo Fan and Feng Quan, are trapped?”

"Such a formidable person, capable of suppressing the ghosts in the three of us with just one look, a top-tier spirit controller like that ought to easily handle a B-class occult event like this, but the situation remains unresolved.”

"You’re overthinking it. How long has Yang Jian been here? One day? To be precise, not even a full day. Even hanging requires taking a breath. You wouldn’t be scared and trying to avoid him on purpose, would you?” Huang Fei gave him a glance.

Luo Su Yi immediately laughed, “Kidding me, scared of him? If I hadn’t been careless last time, how could I have been restricted by him? It’s normal to be preempted due to a lack of intel. I think if I had been the one to act first, Yang Jian surely wouldn’t have had it so easy.”

"I think we should still show Zhao Jianguo some respect. If we leave just like this, it’ll be hard to deal with if it’s brought up later. I don’t want to be on a national manhunt, my family and relatives would know, and I’d be too ashamed to see people again,” said Huang Fei, shaking his head. He was more composed and would not take such an offending step unless something particularly serious occurred.

"If we don’t leave now, we might also get dragged into this paranormal event. I have a premonition that this is definitely not just an ordinary paranormal event. If Zhao Jianguo is willing to transfer Yang Jian here, it shows that the matter must be out of the ordinary.” Luo Su Yi insisted. “By the way, I am not really afraid of that Yang Jian.”

"You’re just scared,” said Lin Luomei from the side. Unable to speak, she expressed her thoughts through a speech device.

Luo Su Yi rolled his eyes, “I won’t stoop to arguing with you. Anyway, pack up and leave today, trust me, nothing will happen. We still need to find a way to solve the problem of reviving fierce spirits, during this period we must avoid particularly dangerous paranormal events as much as possible. This is for our own safety. Besides, someone else is responsible for the incident in City Z, it has nothing to do with us, there’s no need to stay here just to show respect.”

Although his thoughts were somewhat selfish, it must be said that his intuition was quite keen; he could vaguely sense that something was off with the situation in City Z.

However, while the three of them were discussing, suddenly, the doorbell of the house outside rang.

"Ding-dong~!”

The crisp bell sound came through the monitor.

At the sound of the bell, Huang Fei on the couch with his mobile phone, Lin Luomei listening to music, and Luo Su Yi immediately changed expressions and became alert.

The time displayed was 1:30 in the morning.

At this hour, there were neither people nor dogs in their suburban villa— it was simply impossible for the doorbell to ring.

"Ding-dong~!” The doorbell continued to ring.

"Stay alert, I’ll go have a look,” Luo Su Yi said, frowning as he went upstairs.

From the second floor, one could see the situation next to the yard downstairs.

However, as he scanned the outside several times, he couldn’t spot anyone outside the house, not even a shadow.

"No need to look anymore, the person is here.” Yet, a sudden voice appeared in a corner of the hall.

A young and somewhat immature-looking man with a solemn face stepped out from the corner, walking over the floor.

"Yang Jian?”

Upon seeing the person’s face, Luo Su Yi, Huang Fei, and Lin Luomei were all startled.

What had happened when they last met in Dachang City was still vivid in their minds.

The greeting from that time had left too much fear in their hearts for them to forget it to this day.

"How did you find us?” Luo Su Yi ran down from the second floor, his voice betraying a touch of nervousness.

Yang Jian said, “It took some time to find you, about ten minutes. I thought you were still in the center of Z City, but turns out you’ve hidden away in the suburbs. Seeing you like this, it seems you don’t intend to get involved in this incident. If that’s the case, then what did Zhao Jianguo bring you here for? To cheer from the sidelines?”

He walked over and casually seated himself on the sofa.

"This is our affair and should have nothing to do with you. We only agreed to come to support in Z City, not specifying how to offer that support,” Luo Su Yi said.

Yang Jian spoke, “If you don’t want to support, then you don’t want to support, understandable. No need to make any excuses or feel embarrassed. Actually, I didn’t want to come to Z City either, but I had no choice.”

Huang Fei carefully lit a cigarette and ventured, “Yang Jian, would you like a smoke?”

"No need.”

"Not sure what brings you to us this time? After we left Dachang City last time, we shouldn’t have done anything to offend you,” Huang Fei offered a sheepish smile, appearing somewhat uneasy.

After all, with Yang Jian’s abilities, if he were to take action, the three of them would likely have little chance of leaving this place alive.

Yang Jian said, “I’m not very good at courtesies, so I’ll be direct. I’ve encountered a bit of trouble with a supernatural event this time, there’s a ghost that wants to play hide-and-seek with me. It’s hiding really well and I need this beauty’s help to find it for me. You don’t have to do anything, I’ll handle it personally.”

"I refuse,” Luo Su Yi replied immediately, even before Yang Jian could finish.

"Oh, you won’t even make a condition or anything? Such a straightforward refusal,” Yang Jian glanced at him.

Luo Su Yi said earnestly, “We know what you’re capable of, and if you’ve encountered trouble, then this matter is definitely not simple. Even going to help could be dangerous for us, so we can’t offer our help. Lin Luomei has only commandeered one ghost, and the number of times she can use her ability is limited, it’s not long until the powerful ghost revives.”

Yang Jian smiled, “It’s okay not to help; I won’t insist, as I’m not that unreasonable. However, I need to requisition that ghost inside Lin Luomei’s body— I need its ability at the moment.”

"This is not a request, it’s an order,” he stated.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Luomei beside him, his domineering attitude unmistakable.
