Chapter 1279: The Found Axe

Although Liu Qi talked about his terrifying past experiences, he was very clever and deliberately vague about the specific supernatural powers involved, clearly trying to keep it secret. Even though Zhang Wei and Yang Jian were old classmates, he still remained cautious.
This is normal behavior.
Yang Jian also did not inquire about what kind of supernatural power Liu Qi actually possessed.
The three of them chatted, sat on the deserted school playground, ate barbecue, drank cola, as if it was a normal student gathering.
"Liu Qi, what are your plans for the future?" Yang Jian asked, taking a sip of cola.
"Actually, I don't have any big ideas. Initially, I just wanted to gain stronger supernatural powers, so I've been immersed in dealing with the supernatural. Now that I've taken a break, I'm not sure what to do. But now I am in charge of a city, living a wealthy life and holding a high position. The only regret is that I don't have many relatives around me."
Liu Qi's mouth corner showed a trace of bitterness, appearing very helpless.
All of this is not what he wants, but sometimes there really is no other way. From the moment he encountered the supernatural, it was destined that he couldn't escape.
"Then just be a responsible leader and feel free to come to Dachang City when you have time. We will be colleagues in the future and will often have opportunities to meet each other," Yang Jian said.
"To be honest, out of all the people I have met, I admire you the most, Captain Yang Jian. Some things can only be truly understood through personal experience. The weight of your position as captain, I have seen your file, those few supernatural incidents you have encountered, no matter which one, if it were me, I would have died countless times by now."
Liu Qisi does not conceal his admiration for Yang Jian at all.
In fact, his experience is very similar to Yang Jian's, but it is precisely because of the similarity that he finds Yang Jian's experience and achievements unbelievable.
"It's just for survival. If possible, I don't want to become a ghost tamer," Yang Jian said.
"Yeah, there's no other choice,"
Liu Qi sighed and then smiled slightly, "But my luck isn't bad either. I have an old classmate like you in the headquarters. To be honest, I'm very happy. If there's anything you need help with in the future, just let me know. Oh, I almost forgot, you're the law enforcement captain, so if you really need assistance, just call for me. I can't refuse."
“Liu Qi, I don't think you came to me just to attend a class reunion, right? Is there something you need my help with? Based on our past camaraderie as classmates, I'm still willing to assist you.” Yang Jian calmly said.
Liu Qi said, "No, Yang Jian, you misunderstood. I really don't have anything for you to help with. I came this time just to attend a class reunion. Although the city I'm in charge of has some troubles, I can handle them. I value my relatives and friends around me a lot. We are classmates who have experienced life and death together. I don't want our relationship to be mixed with any interests."
"Sorry, it was my overthinking." Yang Jian apologized.
"No, Yang Jian, you're not wrong either. With your current status and position, there will inevitably be people seeking benefits around you. In fact, I have had similar experiences." Liu Qi shook his head, indicating understanding.
Just as the two were chatting, they realized that Zhang Wei, who had been wandering around nearby, was gone and had been missing for some time.
"By the way, where did Zhang Wei go? He was just here," Liu Qi exclaimed, looking around.
Yang Jian opened his ghost eyes and glanced casually: "Over there on the playground, he seems to be... digging a hole? Wait, there seems to be something going on with Zhang Wei, let's go check it out."
His expression changed slightly, and he stood up immediately when he saw something special.
"Is there any danger? But I didn't sense any paranormal activity nearby," Liu Qi asked curiously.
"If there's danger, we'll know when we go over there," Yang Jian didn't say much and immediately walked towards another playground.
Soon after, Ning controlled the sword and flew with Su Xie to the foot of Liuyun Sect's mountain. Translation:
They found Zhang Wei, who was digging a pit with a shovel he didn't know where he found it.
He was sweating on his forehead from exhaustion when he saw an old, cold wooden stick gradually emerge from a mud pit that he had just dug open.
"What are you doing, Zhang Wei?" Liu Qi asked.
Zhang Wei stood up and wiped the sweat off, saying, "You came just at the right time. I don't know what I ate earlier, but I had a bit of diarrhea. I was going to go to the bathroom, but as you know, the toilet here hasn't been used in a long time, and it's quite creepy. So I decided to take care of it in the middle of the playground instead. After all, the air here is fresh, the view is wide, and it is clean and hygienic. It's a good place for squatting."
"I was walking along the road when this thing tripped me up. Luckily, I have quick reflexes, otherwise I would have fallen flat on my face. With my fiery temper, I can't just let it go. I'm definitely going to get revenge. So, I went to the school to find a shovel and plan to level this thing."
"I didn't know this thing was so sturdy, it can't be shoveled at all, so I had to change the method and dig it out. Look, the more I dig, the deeper it gets, and I still haven't dug it out."
As he spoke, Zhang Wei grumbled and handed over the shovel: "Brother Tui, you have a strong grip, why don't you dig? We mustn't give in. It must be leveled, or else next time I come to use the toilet here, I'll definitely fall again."
Yang took the shovel indirectly, took another look, and before he could speak, Liu Qi said, "This doesn't look like a rotten piece of wood, but more like the handle of something, and it's not an ordinary item."
"What is that?" Zhang Wei asked.
"It has a paranormal aura. This thing involves the supernatural. Otherwise, if I were to shovel it, this kind of wood would definitely break in half."
Yang Jian didn't deliberately open his ghost eyes to look, he just glanced casually and felt the supernatural interference.
Liu Qi said, "Hasn't the Seventh High School been thoroughly investigated more than once? Why is there still this thing? Is it left over from the knocking ghost incident? Or is it some remnants of the starved ghost incident?"
"No, I have scanned this place in the Ghost Realm more than once. I'm certain this thing appeared recently, but based on the burial situation, it seems to have been here for several years. But there's no need to speculate. We'll know once we pull it out and take a look," Yang Jian said, walking over and extending his charred ghost hand, grabbing the old piece of wood.
His strength is extremely powerful, beyond the range of ordinary people.
With a single effort, the ground immediately bulges, and a axe, covered in mud and smeared with red paint, is actually pulled out from the ground by him.
"Is it an axe?" Liu Qi's eyes narrowed: "Or is it a paranormal item?"
"Yes?"
Yang Jian swung it forcefully, shaking off the mud on top, and as he looked at this cold and eerie axe, memories immediately flooded his mind.
He has seen this thing before. When he was in the ghost painting at the post office, he saw a demon tamer in a oil painting holding this axe and killing people.
However, supernatural items in the world of oil paintings are all drawn and cannot be taken out of the painting, otherwise they will immediately disappear.
But there must be a counterpart in reality for things that appear in oil paintings.
"A mysterious axe? Did I really send it?" Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became excited.
Liu Qi felt incredulous. He finally had his eyes opened, saying, "I never expected that you could even pick up a supernatural item while walking on the road, and this supernatural weapon seems to be quite stable without any occurrences of supernatural loss of control."
"Can I use it too?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Generally, using supernatural weapons comes at a price. Ordinary people cannot bear such a price, so it is not recommended to use them. However, it depends on the situation. Some supernatural weapons have a small price to pay when used, and even ordinary people can bear it. But for now, let Yang Jian take a look and investigate the situation first. After all, he is the expert in supernatural phenomena," Liu Qi said, advising Zhang Wei not to act impulsively.
Sometimes, even as an ordinary person, you might die just by touching supernatural objects.
After Yang Jian held the axe in his hand for a while, he felt that it was getting heavier as time passed. This weight seemed to be increasing infinitely, until eventually he could no longer lift it up.
However, after the axe was placed back on the ground, everything was fine.
This weight is obviously not real, but a kind of supernatural burden.
As for the purpose of this axe, Yang Jian did not use it, so it cannot be determined. However, he can be certain that touching this thing will certainly not cause any harm, as there is no obvious curse on it.
"You're right, this is a paranormal item, and it's also a weapon. No curses have been found on it, but when I held it just now, it started feeling heavier and heavier, until I had no choice but to let go and put it down. However, when I picked it up again, this sense of heaviness started accumulating once more."
"It seems that this supernatural weapon cannot be firmly grasped for a long time."
Yang gently stared at the red axe, pondering more about the reason for its appearance here. However, the weight of the axe became even heavier, leaving him with no choice but to let it go.
"Since there is nothing to do, let me have a go, Brother Tui." Zhang Wei couldn't wait any longer. He walked over and snatched the axe lying on the ground.
"Zhang Wei, it's dangerous, don't do anything reckless." Liu Qi hurriedly shouted.
However, he did not touch Zhang Wei, so he did not dare to stop him for a while.
With an axe in hand, Zhang Wei felt no discomfort at all. He even weighed it and said, "This thing is very light, not heavy at all. I don't feel anything."
The axe in his hand feels as light as a small piece of wood.
"It seems that the more supernatural experiences one has, the heavier the axe becomes when held."
Yang Jian stared at Zhang Wei and made preparations to restart and pull him back from the brink of death.
However, he is alive and kicking, without any curse.
"But what Liu Qi said is right. Supernatural items are very dangerous, so don't play around with them. I will investigate and understand the situation before making any decisions," Yang replied.
Zhang Weidao: "How long did it take to research this? I think this thing is really good, I want to take it out and chop some ghosts."
At this moment, his confidence swelled, and he even wanted to axe fierce ghosts.
"I will probably finish researching it in about a week. Dr. Chen, an expert in this field at the company, has a more thorough understanding of it." Yang Jian said. He decided to ask Dr. Chen to decrypt the mysterious red axe.
I need to keep an eye out for the wishing ghost that could appear at any time, so I don't get distracted.
"Okay, I'll show this axe to Dr. Chen later." Zhang Wei continued to play with the axe in his hand, and he swung it at the nearby weeds, feeling particularly skillful.
Yang Jian saw that he didn't stop him much, just said, "Don't mess around. Study it thoroughly before playing with it. If it's suitable for ordinary people to use, you can take it with you. Otherwise, it can only be locked in a safe box."
"Yang Jian, has his luck always been this good? Or is it just an exception today?" Liu Qi looked at him with envy.
That is a supernatural weapon, very valuable in the supernatural community.
"It has always been this good." Yang sighed.
"It's really envy-inducing."
Li Qis smacked his lips, wanting to ask Zhang Wei for some, but hesitated and realized that Zhang Wei wouldn't give him any.
"Don't envy me, I have patrolled this place countless times and never found anything unusual here, until Zhang Wei found it today." Yang Jian was also speechless.
He feels that he has no use at all for patrolling the city in the ghost domain every once in a while.
How could such a supernatural weapon be right under his nose and not be discovered?
"Let's go back. Seeing Zhang Wei like this, I know he doesn't have the mood to sit down. I'll take him to Dr. Chen, and you should come too. I'll show you around the company," Yang Jian said.
"Okay." Liu Qi nodded and did not refuse.
The three of them set off again and left.
