Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 157: Closely follow

"Resolved, it's resolved?"

Captain Liu's voice still carried a lingering shock. He had witnessed a living person disappear before his eyes because of Yang Jian's words. However, he couldn't calm down so quickly.

"Captain Liu, are you joking? This thing is not so easily resolved. Although it's not very dangerous, it is definitely a special ghost. If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't disappeared yet. It has just found another way to survive. It should be behind us now."

Yang Jian suddenly spoke.

"What?"

The others were frightened, and almost instinctively turned around to look. Behind them was a corridor, and next to the corridor were a row of windows. The glass of the windows reflected the shadows of everyone, but among these shadows, there was an extra person. This person was wearing a uniform, with a slim figure, and was slowly walking towards the staircase with their back facing everyone. When they turned around, they were shocked to find that no one in the room had moved, and no one had crossed the police line to walk towards the staircase. The person in the glass did not exist in reality.

But it was this person who didn't exist in reality that appeared before everyone's eyes in the reflection of the glass.

"This ghost doesn't exist in reality, only in the mirror. The glass can reflect the existence of this ghost, but under certain conditions, it can come out of the mirror. Although it hasn't caused much harm at the moment, if it has any other purpose after leaving the mirror, I dare not imagine."

Yang Jian said, "The situation here has been resolved. I'm going to track it now. Captain Liu, you take care of the rest."

One of his officers was trapped in the mirror.

Yang Jian said, "We can't locate the position of this ghost, so we can't save the person. Only this ghost can enter the mirror. This is the only way. So I hope Captain Liu is mentally prepared. The chance of rescuing the person is not high. It's not that I don't want to help, but I have to consider that thing's mood. I hope you can understand and sympathize."

After speaking, he immediately followed the ghost's figure reflected in the glass and walked towards the fourth floor. It was indeed difficult to rescue someone who had been trapped in the mirror. Last time, Shangguan Yun was trapped, purely due to luck. That ghost and him were in the same mirror, and with Miao Xiaoshan as bait, it gave Yang Jian an opportunity.

But now? There were countless mirrors on the first floor. Who knew which mirror the ghost would appear in?

Arriving on the fourth floor, Yang Jian looked back at the windows in the corridor.

Suddenly, the figure continued down the stairs towards the third floor. It seemed to want to leave the building.

Arriving on the third floor, Yang Jian looked back at the glass again. The reflection in the glass showed that the ghost was still going downstairs, heading towards the second floor.

Until the end, Yang Jian followed to the lobby on the first floor, and then the ghost disappeared. Because there were no more mirrors in this area, Yang Jian couldn't determine the ghost's direction and location.

"No, I almost forgot. I don't need to determine the ghost's location at all. The ghost will only appear where Zhang Wei has been. So as long as I take Zhang Wei away, it will be fine." Yang Jian suddenly remembered this crucial point.

It was too difficult to track the ghost by following it. It would be better to let the ghost follow him. Thinking of this, he immediately said to a police officer, "Take me to the detention center. This is a special situation. I hope you can cooperate."

The police officer looked uncertain.

"Xiao Liu, cooperate with his work. He is a criminal investigator, sent by higher-ups to handle special cases. Follow the regulations and procedures. You should know the priority in special cases. Even I have to give in." Captain Liu hurriedly came down at this time and immediately said when he saw this scene.

"Yes." Xiao Liu's face changed, and he quickly saluted.

"Please follow me."

Saying that, he quickly walked along a passage. "The detained personnel are locked up behind."

"I want to take someone away. He has gotten involved in a special case. Leaving him here will only cause you more trouble. I must take him away immediately and lure the ghost to another place." Yang Jian said.

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao Liu said, "Handle special cases specially. You take the person away first. I will handle the procedures for you. The higher-ups will understand."

"That's good." Yang Jian said.

Soon, after the officer guarding the detention room received the order, he immediately said, "Is it to release the person named Zhang Wei? No problem, he hasn't done anything wrong."

"Is his mental state okay?" Yang Jian asked.

"He was a bit down yesterday, but he has adapted today. His mood is good. He is currently singing." The officer said.

When Yang Jian was about to go in to take the person, he heard Zhang Wei's singing drifting over.

"I've been to Guangdong and lost contact, sometimes I miss the time when we were together and changed..."

"Zhang Wei, stop singing. Someone has come to pick you up. The procedures have been completed. Leave now." The officer said."Hmm?" Zhang Wei looked puzzled. But when he saw Yang Jian approaching, a look of surprise and joy crossed his face. "Brother Leg, it really is you. I knew you wouldn't abandon me."

"You've gotten yourself into big trouble, and you're still in the mood to sing." Yang Jian said, "Come with me and leave this place quickly. Every minute you stay here, everyone in this building is in danger."

"A Wei, are you leaving? I didn't expect that after our brief acquaintance, we would have to part ways." A young man nearby said with a hint of reluctance.

"After you get out, remember to call me when you want to buy an electric bike. I have all kinds of goods."

"Don't make random hand gestures on the road, it's dangerous. I was caught just for making an eight gesture. Remember that."

The others also looked as if they were saying their goodbyes.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you guys." Zhang Wei said, looking deeply moved.

A moment later, Yang Jian left the police station with Zhang Wei and immediately drove away from the crowded place.

"Holy shit, a Benz, is this your car? Brother Leg, you're living large. When did you buy this?" Zhang Wei asked, surprised.

"It was a gift. But do you know how dangerous you are right now? You've been targeted by a ghost, do you know that?" Yang Jian said as he drove.

"What's this?"

Zhang Wei rummaged through the storage compartment and found several handguns inside.

"Oh my god, a golden Desert Eagle, how do you have this?" He touched the shiny golden gun, unable to put it down, his eyes gleaming.

"It was also a gift. I'm taking you to a less crowded place now. Try to remember if you've come into contact with anything unusual recently." Yang Jian said.

"Where are the bullets? How can there be a gun without bullets? And is this real?" Zhang Wei excitedly played with the special handgun in his hand.

Before Yang Jian could respond, Zhang Wei continued, "Brother Leg, you have so many here, how about giving me one? A golden Desert Eagle, it's my lifelong dream. Please pity me and make it come true."

"You'll be breaking the law if you take it."

"It's okay, I'll just play with it at home."

"This thing is very expensive, it's custom-made, all gold material, one can be worth a villa. I only picked up a few, planning to keep them for backup." Yang Jian said.

"The more you say that, the more excited I get. A pure gold Desert Eagle, I wouldn't trade it for a building. You give me one, I'll give you three villas, no, plus three shops, how about that?" Zhang Wei said, "Brother Leg, you know, I, Zhang Wei, have nothing, just a little money, don't despise it."

Damn! Your words are really inviting hatred.

"If you can really give me three villas and three shops in exchange, I'll give you the gun. Buy one get one free, and I'll give you a few bullets. These are also special, a hundred thousand each on the black market, not for dealing with ordinary people, but for dealing with ghosts. Don't play with it carelessly."

Yang Jian took out five golden bullets from his pocket and threw them to him. Anyway, he had several guns, giving one away in exchange for a few villas wouldn't be a loss.

"Brother Leg is still Brother Leg, so generous, it's a deal." Zhang Wei said excitedly.

"Don't just play around, let's talk business. How did you encounter that ghost?" Yang Jian said.

Zhang Wei, while panting and wiping the gun, said, "I encountered it at home."

"Then let's go to your house." Yang Jian immediately said.

They must find the root of the problem.

But as he turned the corner, he saw through the windshield a man in work clothes, pale-faced, looking exactly like Zhang Wei, standing in the middle of the road staring at him.

"Has it appeared?"

Yang Jian's face changed, and without hesitation, he stepped on the gas and drove straight into it. But there was no impact when the car ran over it. It was just an illusion. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw that the back seat, which had been empty, now had a person sitting there. The person was motionless, still wearing work clothes, with pale hands resting on his knees, his body stiff like a corpse. Now, the ghost was in the car.

Yang Jian glanced at Zhang Wei in the passenger seat.

This kid had no sense of crisis at all. He was actually licking the gun barrel with his tongue, smacking his lips as if tasting it.

Could he be a pervert?
