Mysterious Revival

```

"Bang!"

A loud noise reverberated as a person was flung out of rest room number twelve, breaking through the door and tumbling several times on the ground before coming to a stop against a wall.@@novelbin@@

Gao Zhiqiang's body was twisted into a bizarre position, deformed grotesquely, with a large part of his chest cavity caved in, his mouth and nose filled with blood.

His face was distorted, and the pain almost made him pass out.

But some strange power within his body sustained his life, preventing him from dying despite such severe injuries.

"What happened?"

The commotion attracted the attention of other staff members nearby.

Soon, an alarm sounded in the rest area.

Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

"You like to play, don't you? What's so fun between a man and a woman? Let's play together next, there's much more a pair of men can do, far beyond what you can imagine, I assure you, you won't be disappointed," a deep and indifferent voice spoke, as Yang Jian stepped out of the rest room.

"You're mad too."

Gao Zhiqiang's expression turned savage, "Is it worth it to strike at me over a few unrelated ordinary people? For the likes of us, oppressing a few women is nothing, let alone killing a few people without a second thought. I intended to have a reasonable discussion with you, to act as if nothing had happened. Don't get too greedy."

Lying on the ground, his body continued to contort as the injury kicked out by Yang Jian earlier began to heal in an unbelievable manner.

Bones that had been broken twisted and then reconnected, the blood covering his face visibly began to vanish from sight, and his sunken chest swelled back up like a balloon... In just a couple of tens of seconds, his body had returned to its previous condition.

This was not simply healing wounds, it was more like his entire physical state had been reset to the healthy, undamaged condition of a minute ago.

It was as if a ghost had been rebooted.

Seeing this, Yang Jian slightly frowned. Sure enough, this man had his reasons to attend the headquarters meeting today. From this alone, it was clear he was quite special.

"Ordinary means won't kill you, huh? Looks like I need to play with something more thrilling. For example, if I dismembered you, could your corpse come back to life again? If you don't mind, I'd like to try it out."

Gao Zhiqiang's pupils contracted slightly.

Did this guy really plan to fight him to the death?

"You need to understand, this is headquarters. If we fight here, are you aware of how much trouble we'll cause? The meeting is about to start and if things escalate you won't be able to control the situation. Moreover, aren't you afraid of dying from ghostly reawakening, with how frequently you've been using the Ghost Envoy's power? Maybe you'll succumb before you can kill me."

Gao Zhiqiang stood up, his face especially grim, but he did not want to start a fight with this man here.

Fights among Ghost Envoys, no matter the outcome, benefited no one, and the fallout from his earlier actions—if revealed—would also impact him significantly.

If possible, he wanted to reconcile, even after being kicked by this man.

Stopping losses was far more essential than getting even.

As someone who had dealt with paranormal incidents and was still alive, Gao Zhiqiang did have his wits about him.

"You're smarter than I thought, aware that the situation is not in your favor. If you are not brainless, why do you act like you are?" Yang Jian looked at him and said, "All for a woman?"

"That's my personal business, none of your concern," Gao Zhiqiang felt an ominous sensation at that moment.

This person in front of him was very dangerous. He had a premonition that if he really fought with this man here, he would undoubtedly be the one to die.

Yang Jian said, "None of my concern? Just now, Liu Xiaoyu was my operator, and you lured her out of my rest room, even using the Ghost Envoy's power to influence her. Do you really think this has nothing to do with me? Today you've influenced her, even controlled her behavior, how can I ever trust my operator in the future? Could she betray me in some paranormal event because of you?"

"So my choices are only two, either replace an operator or kill you. Unfortunately, I've chosen the second option, because it's more reliable. If you could act against one of my operators, you might do the same to a second one. They are all ordinary people, none of them trustworthy."

Gao Zhiqiang instantly broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

He now understood why this man was so tenaciously fixated on him over such a trivial matter.

It wasn't because he tried to toy with two women, nor was it out of a sense of justice, but rather because his ability affected this man's operator, sensing a threat.

Even though he had no plans to use his operator against him, this guy wouldn't think so.

This was a mental disorder, put simply—paranoia.

This wasn't uncommon among Ghost Envoys, as those involved in many paranormal events often became overly suspicious, wary that something sinister lurked in the shadows, plotting their demise.

Put it in web slang: there's always someone who wants to screw over the emperor.

"This is a misunderstanding, I can explain, I didn't mean to target you on purpose..." Gao Zhiqiang immediately said.

Yang Jian, however, did not look at him but turned his attention to several of the nearby lounge doors.

At this moment.

At the entrance of several lounges stood people with strange auras. Their expressions varied, all looking this way, obviously startled by the earlier alarm, and they had walked out. Some of these people were familiar faces, while others were very strange to see.

"I've given my reasons, you won't try to stop me, will you?" Yang Jian said.

His words were not directed at Gao Zhiqiang but to the other ghost tamers.

"Yang Jian, I've heard of you, but your arrival at headquarters and killing a colleague doesn't bode well."

An unfamiliar ghost tamer leaning against the door of a lounge said calmly, "If possible, it's best to back off, give headquarters some face. The meeting is about to start soon, and causing a fuss now would have a big impact."

"The reason is very valid, rest assured, I won't intervene," said another, smiling lightly. "But whether other people will meddle in things that are none of their business, I don't know."

"I suggest you kill this Gao Zhiqiang. Today he dares play with your switchboard operator, who knows, maybe one day he'd dare play with your wife. This scumbag deserves to die," agreed a strange female ghost tamer. "But you need to move fast. The alarm has been sounding for a minute already, some people should be arriving."

The onlookers didn't intend to get involved in the matter between Yang Jian and Gao Zhiqiang.

It was simple, the cost of getting involved was too high.

Gao Zhiqiang was very special, very important to headquarters, but who was Yang Jian?

A rising star recently in the ghost tamer circles, he had resolved an S-level supernatural event in Dachang City on his own. It's said that just a couple of days ago, he miraculously survived an event known as "Ghost Envoy," saving many people in the process.

Most importantly, this Yang Jian was mysterious.

He had had numerous dealings with Wang Xiaoming, without headquarters' help, and was suspected of having tamed more than two ghosts.

This made him a special kind of outlier among ghost tamers.

In terms of importance, Yang Jian far surpassed Gao Zhiqiang.

"Did you hear that?" Yang Jian finally turned to look at Gao Zhiqiang.

"Yang Jian? Is that guy called Yang Jian? That guy nicknamed 'Ghost Eye'?"

After knowing Yang Jian's identity, Gao Zhiqiang felt a chill sweep over him. He believed that this guy really dared to take action because this same guy had killed Wang Xiaoming's brother in Dachang City, and even headquarters couldn't stop him, so this guy really did dare to kill.

Run!

At that moment, he didn't hesitate at all and turned to leave.

No need to actually get away, just stall for time until headquarters' people arrived. Naturally, there would be someone to stop Yang Jian then.

After all, headquarters was not short on tough people.

Run away?

Some laughed upon seeing Gao Zhiqiang fleeing in panic.

This guy looked like a psycho, but when faced with the younger Yang Jian, he didn't even have the courage for a head-on confrontation and just turned and ran.

"He's only good at bullying ordinary people. When facing a real tough cookie, he wilts. But I'm interested to see if he can escape from 'Ghost Eye' Yang Jian," someone said with a cold laugh, looking forward to the upcoming outcome.

"Killing this Gao Zhiqiang, Yang Jian, as a candidate for the team leader plan, will probably be affected by this and might even lose the election."

Others started to think about the aftermath.

Gao Zhiqiang ran desperately, passing by the tenth, the ninth... each lounge in turn.

Every ghost tamer standing at the doors of the lounges had an indifferent look, none planning to lend a hand.

Perhaps he knew some of them and could seek help, but Yang Jian just stood there watching from behind.

Even though Yang Jian was a newcomer, he was too sharp and attracted everyone's wariness.
