Yang Jian did not leave the city with Miao Xiaoshan and her two classmates. After all, she still needed to study here, and so far the city was still very safe. Studying, living, and even working here had safety guarantees.

The supernatural incident did not actually occur inside that building before.

Instead, someone was using supernatural power to commit murder.

However, he didn’t want to handle it because man-made supernatural incidents were destined not to cause much trouble and posed little danger. He would let the person in charge, Gao Ming, handle it.

Soon.

He appeared in a nearby high-end villa complex.

Miao Xiaoshan was already used to this kind of sudden change in location and appearing elsewhere. She knew it was Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain, a kind of supernatural power.

But for Liu Zi and Sun Yujia, they still felt extremely amazed.

“I have a villa here. If you’re going to study here in the future, you can live here,” Yang Jian said.

Liu Zi glanced around, recognizing the place; it was a famous top-level villa complex. Each villa was worth over a hundred million, and those living here were either rich or noble. Moreover, due to its scarcity, even with money, one might not be able to buy it.

She looked at Yang Jian, yet felt everything was reasonable.

A character like him, no matter his net worth, would not seem strange.

“But I haven’t been here for a while, so it might be a bit dirty inside. I need to tidy up. You guys wait here for a few minutes,” Yang Jian said and put down Miao Xiaoshan.

Miao Xiaoshan looked at Yang Jian, then at the villa.

She found that all the doors and windows of the villa were sealed, leaving not a single gap, making it look like a gigantic closed room.

She roughly understood what it meant for this house to be a bit dirty.

“Be careful,” Miao Xiaoshan said softly.

Yang Jian nodded and walked to the front door. Without a key, the shadow at his feet moved strangely a few times, and the heavy front door of the villa opened.

Inside was pitch black with no light at all.

Yang Jian ignored the darkness in the house and strode in.

As soon as he entered, he immediately closed the door.

“Why all the mystery? If it’s cleaning up, we can help. We don’t have anything to do anyway,” Liu Zi said.

Sun Yujia said quietly, “There must be some secret inside, not convenient for us to know.”

“That’s how it is,” Liu Zi realized, feeling this possibility really big.

“It’ll be fine soon, don’t overthink it. It might just be to check the house for safety reasons,” Miao Xiaoshan pretended not to know and explained.

At this moment.

Inside the empty villa, a crimson ghost eye was peeking around, missing no corner.

He won’t forget.

This villa contained a very taboo supernatural object.

A ghostly painting!

Back when Yang Jian left the city, he placed the ghost painting in a safe room in the villa, sealed the house, and then chose to leave. But with so much time passed, he was unsure if anything had happened here, so he must verify its safety before staying.

“No problems on the first floor.” Yang Jian immediately appeared on the second floor.

The construction of the villa was special. The walls were covered in gold leaf, causing rooms to appear splendid if lights were on. This gold leaf alone blocked the ghost eye’s view, so he had to check each room.

After confirming no problems, he arrived at the third floor.

“Everything is normal,” Yang Jian then arrived at the safe room.

However, standing before the safe room, his face couldn’t help but change slightly.

Because the door of the safe room was open.

He remembered when he left, the door was closed, with just a ghost painting inside.

“So, during my departure, the ghost wandered out from the safe room?” Yang Jian felt unsettled.

But upon entering the safe room, he saw an oil painting quietly placed against the wall.

The black cloth originally covering the painting had fallen nearby, seemingly uncovered by something, revealing the old oil painting’s true appearance.

The background of the painting was a dim and oppressive city, and in the center was a portrait of a woman. The painting was somewhat blurred; the woman seemed to be smiling, appearing gentle, yet exuding an inexplicable coldness. Those eyes were constantly staring at you, making you feel eerie in this dark environment.

Due to the painting’s blurriness and lack of clarity, different light and angles offered varying impressions.

“The ghost is still in the painting, meaning the situation is manageable without the ghost invading reality,” Yang Jian thought.

The woman inside the painting was a fierce ghost, even a derived supernatural painting would still be a ghost.

Without looking much.

Yang Jian quickly covered the painting with a black cloth again, then closed the door, sealing the safe room.

He decided to take the ghost painting with him upon his departure, sending it to the Hell Apartment managed by Sun Rui in Dahan City.

If all went well, utilizing this ghost painting, the messengers who left images in the post office would possess the ability to invade reality.

And the method was in Yang Jian’s mind.

But using this method entails certain risks, and if not handled well, the ghost painting might become uncontrollable.

However, all supernatural powers are inherently unsafe.

Sometimes, if the value is high enough, it’s worth taking the risk.

After inspecting the ghost painting.

Yang Jian glanced with his ghost eyes, cleaned up the dust in the room, and prepared for Miao Xiaoshan to move in.

Soon.

He returned to the living room, turned on all the lights to illuminate the place, and then opened the door: “Everything is fine now, you can come in. You will live here from now on. It’s big enough, and you can invite friends over if you wish. I won’t come here often.”

As soon as the three stepped into the villa, they were immediately awestruck by the lavish decor.

The whole place was infused with a sense of luxury.

This used to be the residence of He Tianxiong, from my circle of friends. He invested heavily to build this place, planning to settle in this city. Yet, he offended Yang Jian, nearly got killed, and to save his life, he ended up giving this house along with a substantial amount of assets to Yang Jian, ultimately fleeing abroad.

On the coffee table in this hall, there was still a large sum of money and various property certificates, asset transfer contracts, etc., left by He Tianxiong.

“Wow, this place is really grand.” Liu Zi exclaimed.

Miao Xiaoshan was also surprised: “I didn’t know you had a place like this here. Why didn’t you mention it before? Was this a reward from headquarters?”

“No, this place originally belonged to a friend. I saved his life, and in gratitude, he gave it to me.” Yang Jian said.

Yes, he saved He Tianxiong, because sparing his life was akin to saving him.

“You guys go to the second floor and find a place to settle. I’ll leave the keys to you for safekeeping.”

After saying that, Yang Jian found a bunch of keys to the villa from the pile of cash and contracts on the coffee table and handed them to Miao Xiaoshan.

“I don’t feel right about this.”

Miao Xiaoshan wanted to decline, feeling a bit uneasy about it.

“It’s just sitting empty otherwise, and you can’t be without a place while studying here.”

Yang Jian said: “Living here, I’ll feel a bit more at ease, at least you won’t run into some random people.”

Miao Xiaoshan thought for a moment and then nodded: “Can we go back to get our luggage in a few days? We left in a hurry, so a lot of things are still back in the apartment.”

“Go get them in a few days. The place will likely be sealed off by tomorrow.” Yang Jian said.

“It’s late, get some rest.”

He arranged for them to rest on the second floor. He had no urgent matters, so he didn’t need to return to Dachang City immediately. He planned to stay here for a few days and leave once he ensured there were no issues.

Meanwhile, at headquarters.

The events from before had already been reported.

“Yang Jian with the ghost eyes suddenly appeared in our city at 10:15 tonight. The trigger was a suspected supernatural event at the location of his high school classmate, Miao Xiaoshan, prompting her to send a distress signal at 10:12. Given the signal’s reception point, Yang Jian was still at Guanjiang Residential Complex in Dachang City at that time…”

An employee read out a report.

“It took three minutes from the distress signal being sent to Yang Jian’s appearance, not including the time to check the information and set out. This means Yang Jian traveled over a thousand kilometers and precisely appeared at the scene within three minutes.”

In the office, Cao Yanhua listened to the report carefully, his expression serious.

Clearly.

It had been a while since they had seen him, and Yang Jian’s control over supernatural powers had become more terrifying.

An assistant said: “Minister, after the incident, person-in-charge Gao Ming appeared and interacted with Yang Jian. It was found that Yang Jian was not friendly. The report questioned if a group of university students had offended Yang Jian and were being retaliated against. Minister, how should we handle this?”

“Do you think Yang Jian is retaliating against these people?”

Cao Yanhua shook the list in his hand.

The first page was Wan Hao’s profile.

“The report from Sun Rui just arrived today. They recently teamed up with Dahai City’s Ye Zhen to handle the Ghost Post Office incident in Dahan City. Yet, that very night, Yang Jian received Miao Xiaoshan’s distress signal. Amidst the supernatural event, these people even dared to rob a ghost candle. Truly audacious.”

Cao Yanhua slammed the table.

“In supernatural events, actions for survival might be understandable.” the assistant said.

“To survive, they rob the captain’s family’s ghost candle? How is that different from a criminal robbing a bank when broke?”

Cao Yanhua said: “Are those who did this of legal age?”

“All of them are adults.” The assistant said.

Cao Yanhua waved his hand: “Then handle it according to the rules.”

After speaking, he tossed aside the list of profiles, unwilling to waste time on the issue. He cared about the broader picture.

The faster and more efficiently one handled supernatural incidents, the more he favored them.

Furthermore, in this matter, Yang Jian was not in the wrong.

“Yes, Minister.” The assistant said no more.

Yet, from the attitude, it was clear that some people were still somewhat discontented with Yang Jian.
