Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 176: Save people to the end

Jiang Yan was still in the driving position.

In her eyes, it was all darkness, with only a never-ending road. No matter how fast she drove or how much time passed, the road never seemed to end.

There was no sign of light on the roadside.

And knowing that real ghosts could appear anytime and anywhere here.

Even though she was sitting in the car, she was still enveloped in fear.

"If it's been so long, your boyfriend probably won't come, right?" The female salesperson in the passenger seat asked with a pale face and stuttering.

She hadn't died yet. In the previous attack, she was lucky enough to accelerate the car and escape from the ghost. After that, she closed the car door tightly and held onto the handle, allowing her to survive until now.

But there was a bruise on the female salesperson's wrist, formed by a handprint made of congealed blood.

It was the hand that reached in from the outside earlier.

"I don't know."

Tears streamed down Jiang Yan's face. "He's already coming, but I don't know if he'll save me. Stop asking me. If Yang Jian doesn't come, we're doomed."

"We just have to wait here obediently. We'll live as long as we can. I don't know what else to do."

But as they were talking, Jiang Yan's phone rang.

Jiang Yan anxiously glanced at it and immediately answered when she saw that it was Yang Jian calling.

"Open the car door."

"Where are you?"

"Don't waste time. I told you to open the car door."

"But I'm driving. There are ghosts outside, I'm scared. A ghost almost got in by opening the car door just now." Jiang Yan said, "Where are you? Please come and save me."

"Forget about all that. I'm leaving." Yang Jian said.

"No, I'll listen to you. I'll open the car door." Jiang Yan was scared and quickly opened the car door.

As soon as the car door opened.

Eerie candlelight shone in, and Yang Jian was seen holding a candle outside the car door.

"You talk too much, I shouldn't have come to save you next time."

"Yang, Yang Jian, why are you here?" Jiang Yan widened her eyes, but then she became ecstatic and excited to the point of tears. "It's so good that you're here. I almost died, do you know that?"

After speaking, she rushed out and hugged Yang Jian.

"You're still driving." The female salesperson next to her was startled.

But when she looked outside at this moment, the situation had changed.

She didn't know when the car had already stopped. As the darkness around was pushed back by the candlelight, it was clear that the car had been parked on the side of the road all along and had never been driving on the road.

Were they deceived by ghosts?

The female salesperson's body went weak, and she almost collapsed in the car.

Did they never start the car at all? Were all the things they saw before just illusions?

This... was too scary.

"I knew you would keep your promise and come to save me. You really didn't disappoint me. It's so good that you're here. I love you so much." Jiang Yan excitedly hugged Yang Jian's neck and wanted to kiss him.

"Don't be so affectionate."

Yang Jian slapped her face and looked at the woman in the passenger seat. "Who is she? Did you pick her up on the roadside?"

"She's a car salesperson. Didn't you ask me to buy a car last time? I needed your help with some procedures, so I brought the salesperson to find you. I didn't expect an accident to happen on the way." Jiang Yan held onto Yang Jian tightly, refusing to let go.

While prying her arms open, Yang Jian said, "She doesn't look too good. Was she attacked by a ghost?"

"Yes," Jiang Yan said.

"She's lucky she didn't die." Yang Jian withdrew his gaze.

After confirming that the female salesperson was fine.

"Go to the back seat. I'll drive. It's time to leave this place. We've been here for too long, and if we delay any longer, that ghost will come for us." Yang Jian finally pushed Jiang Yan away.

But Jiang Yan acted spoiled and said, "No, I want to sit with you."

"Nonsense, do you think you're a sofa? Squeeze in, don't waste time." Yang Jian said.

"I can sit on your lap. My figure is slim, it won't affect your driving." Jiang Yan said.

"But you'll affect my mood. If it weren't for saving you, do you think I would come to this ghostly place? After we go back, I'll cut your salary in half and double your workload." Yang Jian forcefully pushed the clingy person to the back seat.

He blew out the ghost candle, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and turned the steering wheel to leave.

The lights flickered.

The female salesperson next to her accidentally caught sight of a decaying corpse slowly walking towards them outside the car window, and she screamed in fright.

"Outside, outside, there's..."

"It's just a ghost. Why are you making such a fuss? Didn't you encounter it before? If you keep screaming like this, I'll kick you out of the car." Yang Jian glared at her with a cold face.

The female salesperson trembled and quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't scare others. If I kick her out, who will handle the procedures with you?" Jiang Yan stood up from the back and leaned forward, happily hugging Yang Jian's neck.

"Sit properly, or you'll be treated the same way." Yang Jian said.

The smile on Jiang Yan's face froze for a moment, then quickly disappeared. She sat straight in the back seat, behaving even better than a child who listens to the teacher.

Yang Jian was now going to find the disliked Tong Qian along the way.

Today, he was determined to rescue a few people.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain to Zhao Jianguo.

If he only took Jiang Yan and the female salesperson away, Zhao Jianguo would probably explode with anger.

To protect the authority of the criminal police, he had to continue pretending to be a good person.But when Yang Jian drove to the intersection where he had left earlier, he found that not only Tong Qian, but also the previous survivors had disappeared.

"Hiding, are they?"

Yang Jian glanced around, too lazy to search, and shouted directly outside: "Three minutes, anyone who comes here within three minutes can leave alive, otherwise, stay in the Ghost Realm and wait for death."

He had already instructed them to let Tong Qian wait nearby with these people.

If they wanted to run around, they could only blame themselves.

Yang Jian didn't have the energy to search and save them one by one.

He believed that there were other survivors in this Ghost Realm, not just the group gathered by Tong Qian. Otherwise, the door-knocking ghost would not have left for such a long time. If it were ordinary, it would have come looking for them long ago.

The voice was not loud.

Echoing in the silent street, any survivor hiding nearby should be able to hear it.

Soon.

Tong Qian walked out of a shop, her high ponytail swinging from side to side as she walked. Coupled with her police uniform, she had a somewhat heroic look, but her complexion was not very good.

"I thought you were just talking and wouldn't come back. You actually have the heart to save us?"

Yang Jian rolled down the car window and looked at her, "If you die in Da Chang City, there will be one more ghost here. I guess I'll have to clean up your mess."

"No matter what you say, since you are willing to come back to save people, I should thank you, not only for the survivors but also for myself." Tong Qian was not angry at this moment, instead, she expressed her gratitude to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then calmly said, "It seems you have come to terms with some realities. That's good. Paranormal events can easily make a person grow up completely. This reckless action is not entirely without gains for you."

"Can you stop talking in such an educational tone?" Tong Qian said.

"Weren't you talking to me like that before?" Yang Jian smiled, "People often inadvertently become the type they hate the most, and they don't even realize it."

As he spoke, survivors began to appear behind Tong Qian.

"One more minute." Yang Jian looked at the clock on his phone.

"Everyone gather around, we will be able to leave here soon." Tong Qian directed, and then asked, "Do you have a way to get out of here?"

"That's my business, you don't need to worry about it. You just need to know that I can get you out of here." Yang Jian said.

Tong Qian stared at Yang Jian for a few moments. Although she didn't trust his character, she admired his abilities.

Not every ghost controller dared to ride a bicycle around the Ghost Realm.

This required not courage, but a confidence in one's own abilities.
