Chapter 1280: Baishui Town

Once Yang Jian, Liu Qi, and Zhang Wei returned to the company, the first thing they did was find Dr. Chen and ask him to study the axe in Zhang Wei's hands.
This supernatural item is very special, and if we could know the supernatural power stored in it, it might be of great help in the future.
However, what makes Yang curious is why this thing appeared on the playground of No. 7 Middle School.
When 7th Middle School experienced the knocking ghost incident, the whole school was thoroughly investigated afterwards. Even Yang Jian, who usually patrols the city, pays special attention to the places where supernatural events occurred before. His ghostly eyes have peered into 7th Middle School multiple times, so he can be sure that this supernatural item has definitely not always been in 7th Middle School.
It should be the latest appearance at Qi Zhong High School.
Because Yang Jian has been traveling outside recently, either dealing with Gui Lake or Caesar Grand Hotel, or fighting with Zhang Xian Guang, paying little attention to what happened in Dachang City.
"Lao Chen, please take good care of my axe. It will be crucial for my transformation. Once you have finished your research, I will give you the sports car I previously purchased as a guarantee that you won't be at a loss."
Zhang Wei watched lovingly as his beloved axe was taken away, feeling as if he had lost his true love.
"Zhang Wei, you don't have to be so dramatic. It's like you're saying goodbye forever. This thing is very dangerous, and if you don't research it thoroughly, you could risk your life. Don't be in a hurry, just wait patiently and trust Yang Jian," Liu Qi said.
"You are all Ghost Wranglers, so of course you wouldn't understand the pain of having skills but being unable to use them. This axe is not only my opportunity to turn my life around, but also my chance to show my talent," Zhang Wei said earnestly and confidently. "Just you wait, it won't be long before I can join headquarters and become a city leader."
"It's not easy to become a leader..." Liu Qi said.
"The word 'difficult' doesn't exist in the dictionary of my life."
Zhang Wei remained confident and then said, "Legs, when should we hold the class reunion? We need to set a date. Miao Xiaoshan will be coming tomorrow, but there's no news from Wang Shanshan yet. You need to remind her. She hasn't replied to my messages for quite some time. I even sent her dozens of red envelopes, and she hasn't claimed a single one. It's a bit abnormal."
"Maybe the day after tomorrow at noon, I have some special matters to handle in the next three days, and Wang Shanshan has been away for quite some time..." Yang Jian pondered.
He remembered that Wang Shanshan took the ghost child away, and there was a piece of human skin paper hidden in the bell hanging around the ghost child's neck. He now encountered some situations that required human skin paper, so it was time to bring Wang Shanshan back.
"Just right, Wang Shanshan's father Wang Bin is in the company, I'll go find him and ask." Yang Jian also didn't want to waste time, and started taking action directly.
"I'll go with you." Zhang Wei said.
Neither Yang Jian nor Zhang Wei refused, and the three of them left the research department where Dr. Chen was and went to Wang Bin's office.
Wang Bin is the manager of the company. Although his position is not high, he holds a lot of power in the company. Basically, he handles all the big and small matters of the company. Yang Jian and Zhang Wei are just figureheads and usually don't take care of the company's affairs. They only show up on special occasions.
However, Wang Bin has indeed been dedicated and the company has flourished under his management, developing rapidly.
The only time they encountered a problem was when they lost a large sum of money in Da'ao City in a bet with Zhang Wei's father, Zhang Xiangu.
However, Yang Jian did not blame him. After all, everyone makes mistakes, and the last incident was intentionally set up by someone.
"Uncle Wang, are you here?" Zhang Wei pushed open Wang Bin's office and walked in without any hesitation.
Wang Bin's desk is piled with files, and he is currently smoking and frowning while looking at a proposal.
Zhang Wei's arrival interrupted his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Jian also walking in. Immediately, he put down the work in his hand and stood up.
"Zhang Wei, Yang Jian? How come you have time to come to my office? Is something wrong?" He had a smile on his face.
"Nothing serious, we just wanted to ask about Wang Shanshan's situation. She has left Dachang City for some time now and I need her to come back," Yang Jian said.
Wang Bin said, "Shanshan? Didn't she go to her grandmother's house some time ago? I've been busy with work lately and haven't paid much attention to this. Since it's Yangjian who wants to find Shanshan, I'll call her and ask her to come back."
"Uncle Wang, I've tried already and the call just couldn't go through," Zhang Wei said.
"How is that possible?" Wang Bin exclaimed in surprise.
Yang Jian said, "When she left, she took the ghost child with her. This indicates that she didn't just go to her grandmother's house for a visit, but went with a purpose. Now that she's lost contact, it's likely that something unexpected has happened, and it's not a simple accident. The presence of the ghost child can handle most low-risk paranormal events."
"Even if there is a very dangerous supernatural event, Gui Tong can ensure Wang Shanshan's safety, at least there is no problem in evacuating the supernatural area."
"Shanshan has Gui Tong with her?"
Wang Bin's expression changed, and he knew that this creature was following Shan Shan and that she was taking care of it. As a result, most of the time Shan Shan didn't stay at home but lived in the renovated Republican-era old mansion.
However, this time Wang Shanshan took Guitong to her grandmother's house, and he really didn't know.
He doesn't pay attention to supernatural things, nor does he want to get involved; he just focuses on his own work.
So now Wang Bin thinks that Wang Shanshan is just going to her grandmother's house to play.
"So this means the situation is indeed serious." Wang Bin became anxious: "Yang Jian, what should we do now?"
"I thought you knew some information, but it turns out you are just as clueless as me. Since Wang Shanshan has lost contact, I'll have to personally go and bring her back. Tell me the address and I'll leave right away. If everything goes smoothly, I'll be able to bring her back tonight." Yang Jian said.
Wang Bin immediately said, "Shanshan's grandmother's house is in Dashan City, Baishui Town, not far from Dachang City, only about 200 kilometers away. Her grandmother's name is Wang Xiuli..."
"That's enough. Baishui Town in Dashan City. That address will do," Yang Jian nodded. "I won't disturb you anymore. I'll take action now."
"Please, I hope Shanshan stays safe," Wang Bin started to worry and feel anxious.
After all, their family barely survived the starving ghost incident, and now they have just started to get back on track and resume a normal life. They definitely do not want to get involved in any more supernatural events.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Yang Jian reassured.
The three of them soon left Wang Bin's office.
At this time, Liu Qi said, "Yang Jian, let's go together. There must be something wrong with Baishui Town. I'll ask the person in charge of Dashan City for you."
After speaking, he picked up the satellite locator phone and began to connect with the operator.
Soon after, Ning controlled the sword and flew with Su Xie to the foot of Liuyun Sect's mountain. Translation:
He clarified the situation in Dashan City from the operator and immediately said, "The person in charge of Dashan City is named Xiaoyang, with the codename Ghost Rain. Unfortunately, he has also lost contact, and the place where he lost contact is in Baishui Town. That place is indeed problematic, but the headquarters does not have any files on the supernatural events in Baishui Town."
"I think it's not that there are no supernatural events in this Bai Shui Town, but that Xiao Yang, who wants to record the supernatural events, has encountered some problems. However, it has only been a short time since he went missing. If he still hasn't contacted in a few days, the headquarters will send the candidate captain to investigate. But under normal circumstances, this matter should be the responsibility of Yang Jian."
Yang Jian said, "The city of Dashan, within 200 kilometers of Dachang City, is indeed under my jurisdiction as confirmed by other team leaders. However, I have an agreement with headquarters that I am only responsible for Dachang City and other places are not within my jurisdiction."
"Is there such an agreement?" Liu Qi was puzzled and unaware of the details.
Yang Jian did not continue the topic but continued, "There is a problem in Baishui Town, I will handle it, you should stay in Dachang City."
"I am well aware of your capabilities, Yang Jian. You can handle it alone without any problems. However, I would like to have another person as an additional helper, and Wang Shanshan is also an old classmate. It is only fair for her to lend a helping hand." Liu Qi persisted in wanting to go together.
"Liu Qi, I will be unhappy if you speak of me like I am a coward. Tui Ge, wait for me, I will go get my dual guns back. I will show you all the strength of the Big Chang City's dual-wielding gunslinger."
"Awei, don't get involved in supernatural events. Even Wang Shanshan disappeared with a ghost child and the person in charge might have fallen victim too. This matter is not simple. You stay in Dachang City, I and Liu Qi will go. Also, Miaoxiaoshan is coming to Dachang City tomorrow, you have to pick her up for me and take good care of her." Yang Jian said earnestly.
Liu Qi also said, "Zhang Wei, I know you value loyalty, but this matter is extraordinary. Stay in Dachang City and wait for us to bring Wang Shanshan back."
"Since all of you insist, then I will listen to Brother Tui and stay." Zhang Wei also didn't persist and could only stay unwillingly.
He still has some sense of propriety.
Yang Jian didn't hesitate and directly opened his ghost eyes, releasing the Ghost Domain.
"Liu Qi, don't resist my Ghost Domain, let me take you along..."
With just a sound, they had already disappeared from where they were, and in just two seconds, they had left Dachang City.
"Is this the ability of the top-tier Ghost Domain in the Supernatural Circle?"
This moment, Liu Qi felt the terror of Yangjian Ghost Territory, easily covering a city, crossing two places in just over ten seconds, not even a minute.
In the ghost territory, all sights are blurred, but he can still discern that his position is shifting in an incredible way.
When the vision returned to normal.
Yang Jian and Liu Qi had already arrived in Baishui Town.
Baishui Town is not big and has no reputation. It is called Baishui Town because it is built by the water and the water is clear.
"The sky is raining."
Yang frowned and looked up at the sky.
The sky was dark and oppressive, thick clouds covered it like an airtight lid, enveloping the entire Bai Shui Town.
The sun is shining outside the town, but it's raining inside the town.
The temperature difference is also quite large.
In the rainy White Water Town, there is an inexplicable coldness in the air, which makes ordinary people shiver even when wearing thick coats.
"It's not ordinary rain, it's like a ghostly realm enveloping the town." Liu Qi reached out and touched the rain falling from the sky.
The rain felt especially chilling in his hand and it didn't feel quite real, as it quickly dissipated.
This is not evaporated, but seems to disappear into thin air.
"Rainwater is the manifestation of the supernatural, there must be something wrong here." Yang Jian looked at this kind of sky and couldn't help but think of the black ghost umbrella.
However, the rainwater in the black ghost umbrella is not a problem. The rainwater in the umbrella is just a medium. The real danger lies in the terrifying ghosts lurking in the umbrella.
"The code name of the person in charge of Dashan City is Ghost Rain, and this rainstorm may be related to him," Liu Qi said. "However, no leader can sustain this level of supernatural phenomenon for a long time... so he is likely to have already been possessed by a malevolent spirit."
"Not necessarily. Although rainwater is somewhat eerie, it is not deadly yet. Ordinary umbrellas can create a barrier, it's just that the environment is affected, and the entire Baishui town is rather damp and cold."
"If the officials in Dashan City really resurrected a fierce ghost, this rain could cause fatalities."
Yang Jian said, "However, I really don't like rain, so let's make it stop before we continue."
In the next moment.
His ghostly eyes opened, and the ghostly domain spread.
In the next moment, a bright light appeared in the dark sky, shining brightly and golden, tearing open the dark clouds, dispersing the gloomy rain, and the chilling air rapidly dissipated at an unimaginable speed.
After a long period of darkness, Baishui Town is now bathed in sunlight.
The continuous rain has come to an end at this moment.
"For ordinary supernatural incidents, maybe there's no need to take action. Just passing through should be enough to resolve the situation," Liu Qi thought to himself, feeling somewhat surprised.
Only through personal experience can one understand the weight of Captain Yang's authority.
If it were him, I'm afraid he would still cautiously enter the town of Baishui with an umbrella, and wouldn't dare to enter so recklessly into a town that may be haunted.
"Don't be careless," Yang Jian spoke.
"?" Liu Qi looked at him with a strange expression.
Did he appear to be careless? He has always been cautious, okay? You're the one who is relatively careless.
Yang Jian said, "What I dispelled was just ordinary paranormal phenomena, and the real danger has not yet emerged. I can sense the unusualness of this small town. Ask the operator to bring up the latest map of Baishui Town. I don't think some places here are like the buildings in Baishui Town. In that area, my line of sight is distorted."
“我明白了。”刘奇也不废话，再次打电话给了自己的接线员。
Soon after, Ning controlled the sword and flew with Su Xie to the foot of Liuyun Sect's mountain. Translation:
最新的白水镇地图被发送了过来。
杨间看了一眼，对比了一下现实中的白水镇，当即停下了脚步。
More than half of the Baishui Town is not on the map.
