Mysterious Revival - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Wu Yue
Zhang Han, who was driving in front, indeed was not in good shape.
He felt the flesh on his back continually bulging and oozing blood.
Even without provoking it, the ghost on his back had become restless, eager to break out from within.
In this condition, Zhang Han thought he would not survive more than ten days and would die without utilizing the ghost’s power; if he did use it, he would die immediately.
“Fortunately, I’m alive and out of the village. As long as I complete the trade in the next few days, I can delay the ghost’s revival and rid myself of this current state.”
As death loomed, Zhang Han was not too desperate; instead, he felt a strong anticipation, a hope to live.
After all, he had completed the mission.
Even if it was a pyrrhic victory.
However, just as he was about to merge onto the main road, he glanced through the window and suddenly saw at the intersection that police tape was put up, and the area around had been cordoned off. More than a dozen vehicles were parked nearby, temporary tents had been erected on the flat ground beside, and a crowd of onlookers had gathered.
Before coming to the village, none of these preparations were in place.
Immediately.
Zhang Han realized something. He honked his horn, rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and shouted to Yang Jian behind him, “There seems to be a situation up front, someone has set up a blockade, it’s not aimed at us, is it?”
Yang Jian, who was driving, had already seen the situation ahead.
He replied, “Don’t be nervous, it’s not for you, it’s for me. Those should be from Miss Sun Lihong’s company at the club before. They’re coming over now to finalize the previous deal with me and, incidentally… settle some personal scores.”
It seems that the phone call made earlier in the village had been effective.
Zhao Jianguo had indeed felt threatened and used his influence to compel the company’s people to come out.
That’s more like it.
It would be impossible for Yang Jian to find the company’s responsible person alone, negotiate terms, or even understand this mysterious company.
Therefore, a meeting was essential.
But he alone could not make this mysterious company take him seriously; it would have to be through the involvement of the international ghost handlers.
After all, the international ghost handlers were also implicated in the matter.
The cars had not yet arrived.
Up ahead, a line of people stood at the intersection waiting, some holding parasols and setting up a table.
They were clearly ready for a public negotiation.
Soon, Yang Jian hit the brakes.
The two cars stopped on the side of the road, and he and Zhang Han got out together.
“Hello, Mister Yang, Mister Zhang, I’m Wu Yue, the main person in charge of this company. I was the one who assigned Manager Sun Lihong to oversee this transaction. Before we get down to business, I should congratulate both of you on the successful completion of your mission, resolving the supernatural events at Huanggang Village once and for all.”
Wu Yue approached with a smile, reaching out for a handshake.
“Boss Wu just needs to keep his promise,” Zhang Han replied as he shook hands, his main concern being the method to extend the ghost’s revival time.
“Of course, that’s a given. It’s the company’s credibility at stake here. Please rest assured, Mister Zhang. Would you both like to sit down for a drink? I’ve had champagne prepared for you to celebrate and relax a bit.”
Yang Jian, however, carrying the body bag calmly, looked at him, “Six ghost handlers, four dead, one on the verge of revival, and another with a belly full of unvented anger. Now, you’re congratulating us and popping champagne? Do you not take our lives seriously, or do you think you can treat us like children to be placated?”
The smile on Wu Yue’s face slightly stiffened.
This Zhang Han is easy to deal with, just an ordinary person.
But this Yang Jian… his mental state isn’t very stable, and he himself is extremely dangerous, very difficult to handle.
“This is a deal between us, isn’t it?” Wu Yue spoke up.
“A deal? Yes, that’s right. So, where’s the method for controlling the revival of fierce ghosts?”
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, “I had warned Miss Sun before, don’t play any tricks, otherwise, I will track down the leads and deal with your whole family. Now that the supernatural incident in Huanggang Village has been resolved, isn’t it time for Boss Wu to keep his promise?”
Wu Yue laughed it off, “Of course, it was agreed upon before, the method for controlling the revival of fierce ghosts will be given to you after some time. Please be assured that our company is very committed to keeping promises and absolutely won’t breach the contract.”
“After some time? How long is ‘after some time’? Ten days? Half a month, or a year? You need to hand over the method for controlling the revival of fierce ghosts now,” Yang Jian said with a cold look on his face.
Wu Yue said, “This matter can’t be rushed. We need to first collect your information, then the company will take it to the laboratory for relevant data matching. This process won’t take too long; at most one week and we will have the results. The company will determine which ghost is suitable for you to control, so as to better maintain the balance between ghosts. While we can’t guarantee a 100% success rate, it’s still much higher than blindly attempting to control other ghosts.”
“As for the details of the process, that is a company secret, and I can’t tell you.”
Yang Jian frowned, “What is your success rate?”
“No more than 20%.”
Wu Yue said, “Specifically, it’s about a 15% success rate. You should be grateful that this method is becoming more mature by the day. Keep in mind that three months ago, the success rate was less than 5%.”
A chance to control a second ghost with not even a 20% success rate.
Despite the great risk, it certainly feels worth the impulse to try.
However, the method of controlling fierce ghosts with human skin paper has a… 100% success rate.
It’s just that the cost is to simply give a ghost away to be devoured by the human skin paper.
When compared to each other, the latter is obviously better.
But the latter comes with great hidden dangers and risks.
“Can’t the chance of success be raised any higher?” Yang Jian asked again.
“I’m not sure about that, I’m not the head of the lab,” Wu Yue said.
Still keeping secrets, huh?
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, staring ominously at this Chief Wu Yue.
“Let’s put the deal aside for a moment, what do you know about the archives?”
“Archives? What archives? I don’t have much information on the files of the Huanggang Village incident. I heard you’re halfway to becoming an international ghost controller and already have your own dedicated operator. Although not officially on duty, you should have the qualifications to investigate any supernatural incident file.”
“Haven’t you requested the Huanggang Village supernatural incident files from the international ghost controllers?”
“Pretending to be deaf and dumb?”
Yang Jian’s expression darkened, “I want the truth, and if you don’t spill it, do you believe I can make you unable to ever speak again?”
“Calm down, I really don’t know,” Wu Yue said very calmly, his face showing an innocent look, “If you really intend to make a move here, then the previous deal is off, and your trip here will have been for nothing, which wouldn’t be worth it.”
“So, you’d better think carefully before you have it in hand.”
Seeing this, Zhang Han’s expression changed, and he quickly said, “Yang Jian, you can’t be impulsive and screw things up, so many people died and only the two of us lived, if you kill him then we really took this risk for nothing.”
Young men tend to be rash; it was the same in the club before.
Resorting to fists without a word, there’s no reasoning with them at all.
