In the investigation of paranormal events
Chapter 14 The Magician
"You!" Xiao Nian was so angry she couldn't speak, and she pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose and cursed.
"What do you mean, 'me'? You're a ghost now, why are you still playing these tricks?"
"Alright, I'm leaving now. You guys keep having fun here."
"I will come to see you often in the future and will draw upon your strength whenever I wish."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and then left.
Back in reality, Jiang Cheng suddenly woke up from her bed with a start.
"Wow...it just felt like a dream."
Jiang Cheng covered her head, feeling a little dizzy.
However, from now on, he can enter and leave that world whenever he wants, as long as he has the will.
"Hehe! The important thing is..."
Jiang Cheng extended a finger, and flames instantly ignited at his fingertip. Then, Jiang Cheng quickly clenched his fist.
"I have a second ghost now."
"This is truly delightful."
Just as Jiang Cheng was feeling smug, a phone call came in.
"Jiang?"
Jiang Cheng stared at the caller ID on the phone, muttering to herself.
"Jiang? What's the matter?"
"Jiang Cheng, are you free right now?"
"Yes, I have."
"I need you to come to headquarters. There's something important that I need you to handle."
Jiang Cheng: "..."
"it is good."
After giving a brief reply, Jiang Cheng went to the headquarters, since he had no right to refuse.
Headquarters —
"Jiang."
Upon seeing Jiang, Jiang Cheng greeted him as usual.
"Jiang Cheng, you've arrived."
"There's a mission here that requires you to work alongside the magician."
"A magician?" Jiang Cheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, he is a Class B containment expert."
"Let me briefly describe this mission to you. The snake woman is in trouble. It was a C-level incident, but it has now been upgraded to a B-level incident, and there's a risk that it might escalate further..."
"So..." Jiang Cheng murmured.
"So you and the magician go and investigate the mastermind behind the snake woman's severe injuries, and the incident itself."
"I suspect there might be more to that incident than meets the eye."
"When the snake woman returned, she was covered in wounds and almost didn't make it back. It was obvious that the mastermind didn't want to leave any survivors, but the snake woman still managed to escape."
"It's almost impossible for a C-level incident to injure the snake woman like this, and even a B-level incident would be unlikely."
Jiang Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed. "So we're going to deal with that person?"
"No! I suspect it's not a single person, but an organization."
"So I'd like to ask you and the magician to investigate the cause of this incident. As long as you get the information, the mission is complete. Just be careful not to alert the enemy."
"The reason we sent the two of you is because magicians have the strongest overall abilities and can handle all kinds of unexpected events."
"Your ability to see ghosts is also the natural enemy of ghosts, and the case that the snake woman went to solve happened to be a case of a vengeful ghost causing trouble."
"So you're a better fit than the other team members. Plus, you usually don't need to fight each other; you just need to gather intelligence."
"Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too, after all, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng interrupted, "No need. I'll go with the magician. Besides, this incident itself isn't dangerous; it's just intelligence gathering, right?"
"right."
"Okay, where's the magician?"
Jiang Cheng looked around but didn't see the magician.
But the next moment, the magic hat next to Jiang Cheng flew up out of thin air, and then a person "slid" out of it, landed steadily on the ground, and elegantly put the magic hat on his head.
"Let's set off now," the magician said graciously.
……
On the road.
"An abandoned school?"
"Um."
"That's where the snake woman died."
The two chatted in the car on the way.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at its destination.
"That's really remote!" the magician couldn't help but exclaim.
Before them stood an abandoned school. It was a large school located in the mountains, not far from any town, but in a very remote location.
The school was abandoned decades ago, but passersby say they can still hear students playing and laughing at night, and some have even seen students.
There were even rumors that they saw classes being held at the school at night! The entire school was brightly lit!
"Judging from these rumors, this might be a ghost school," Jiang Cheng couldn't help but complain.
"We'll find out if it's a ghost school once we investigate."
"However, considering that the snake woman also failed at this school, we should still be careful."
As he spoke, the magician gave Jiang Cheng a magician's hat.
"Here you go. With this, if you encounter any danger, you can just crawl into the magician's hat."
"How do we drill through here?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the tiny magician's hat; it was only big enough for a cat to squeeze inside.
"Just jump in," the magician replied.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Cheng still looked unconvinced.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's disbelieving look, the magician decided to demonstrate for her.
"I've already positioned the other end of the magician's hat in a safe spot, so I can get there instantly just by crawling inside."
With that, the magician placed his magic hat on the ground and jumped inside.
Then, a hand reached out from Jiang Cheng's magician's hat, gesturing for him to raise it higher.
The magician then fell off the magic hat, picked it up from the ground, and put it on his head.
"So, do you believe me now?"
"Actually, you don't need to demonstrate it once."
"I would believe it even if you didn't do it, since I've already seen it once."
"Alright, whatever, let's get going."
"By the way, may I ask your name? It's not good to keep calling you 'Ghost Eye'," the magician asked.
"Jiang Cheng"
"and yours?"
"Jansen," the magician replied.
"Jansen?"
Jiang Cheng carefully observed Jameson. With his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and well-defined features, he didn't look like a foreigner at all.
"Are you a foreigner?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"No, I'm a local. I have this name because my idol is Jason."
"All right."
After all, changing one's name is everyone's right, but the name Jason is really strange.
The two soon arrived at the school gate.
"Jiang Cheng, could you please take a look inside? Your yin-yang eyes can..."
Before Jason could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng was already observing, having already activated his Yin-Yang Eyes on the way.
"There really is a ghost inside."
"But it's strange, they were just kids, and all of them were students, which explains what the passersby saw."
"But this doesn't explain why the snake woman had an accident."
There's definitely something else inside.
"Yes, Chiang sent us here to investigate these things."
"Let me make some preparations first."
Then, Jason took off his magic hat and took out a stack of magic hats from it.
