Li Zhuiyuan, a corpse retriever, travels through a mysterious resurrection.

Seeing this, Li Zhuiyuan rushed to Yang Jian's side, his blood-stained hand colliding with the headless ghost.

Bright red, eerie blood splattered all over Yang Jian's back.

The five ghostly eyes darted around, then retreated back onto the ghostly figure. The headless ghostly figure abruptly withdrew its hand and lay back down on the ground.

Ghost blood dripped down Yang Jian's back, almost covering the ghostly figure, leaving only a black hand on the ground.

Li Zhuiyuan said, "I can't completely cover up the ghostly shadow, otherwise the ghostly eye on your forehead will lose its suppression."

"The resurgence of the Ghost Eye has intensified. The headless ghost can no longer suppress the Ghost Eye, and the balance between the two ghosts is disappearing."

"The suppression of demon blood can only temporarily alleviate this situation. You need to find a way to rebalance the demon in your body as soon as possible."

Yang Jian's face was somewhat pale; the near resurrection of the vengeful ghost had made his expression quite unpleasant.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If we've gone to this lengths and still haven't managed to imprison that ghost, we've lost a huge amount of money."

Li Zhuiyuan said, "Zhao Kaiming is a hidden danger. I suspect that the ghost beside him has consciousness. One of the ghost's purposes is to provoke one of us to resurrect as a vengeful spirit."

"That ghost is very dangerous. Zhao Kaiming is definitely not capable of dealing with it. He can only become a tool for that ghost."

Tong Qian exclaimed in horror, "Ghosts have consciousness? Is that even possible?"

"Your knowledge is too limited," Li Zhuiyuan said. "Humans can control ghosts, so why can't ghosts control humans?"

Tong Qian's breathing became rapid: "A ghost controlling a person? How terrifying must this ghost be? No, I must report this immediately. I can't let Zhao Kaiming get away with this, otherwise no one knows what terrible things he might do under the influence of that vengeful ghost."

Li Zhuiyuan's voice was calm as he said, "That's your problem. I advise you to leave Dachang City as soon as possible and return to the city under your own jurisdiction. The situation here is very complicated, and you simply cannot survive here with your abilities. If you continue to get involved in other supernatural events, you will die soon."

Tong Qian remained silent. Today's experience made her realize just how big the gap was between her and Li Zhuiyuan and Yang Jian.

Seeing that Yang Jian could retract the ghost eye on his forehead, Li Zhuiyuan withdrew the ghost blood back into his own body.

The headless ghost and the ghostly eyes temporarily ceased their agitation.

However, the problem of resurgence remains. Five eerie red lights shine on the headless ghostly figures, and it is unknown when they will open their eyes and lose control again.

The bluish-black haze dissipated, and Li Zhuiyuan and Yang Jian disappeared.

Tong Qian took out her satellite-guided mobile phone and dialed her operator.

"Mission failed. The Knocking Ghost in Dachang City is too terrifying to handle. I also have an urgent matter to report: Zhao Kaiming, the head of Dachang City, is making a deal with a vengeful ghost that is no less terrifying than the Knocking Ghost. He is suspected of becoming that ghost's tool. I suggest that he be immediately dismissed from his post and that a nationwide manhunt be issued for him."

"The ghosts in Dachang City are too terrifying. I used a lot of the power of the evil spirits, and they will soon be resurrected. I want to apply to control a second ghost. With my merits, I should be able to."

......

Li Zhuiyuan took Yang Jian back to the rented house.

Jiang Yan was hugging her legs and curled up on the sofa, looking terrified.

When she saw the two return, she stood up and said, "I didn't want to run away, but the situation was too strange just now, and I was worried that if I stayed there, it would affect you."

Yang Jian, his face pale, said, "You did the right thing. If you hadn't run, and that ghost had attacked you, we might not have been able to save you."

Jiang Yan wanted to rush over and hug Yang Jian, but suddenly noticed that the shadow beneath Yang Jian was glowing with five red lights.

She trembled and pointed at the shadow, asking, "What... what is this?"

Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "The ghost inside my body is about to resurface."

Jiang Yan was on the verge of tears, and said urgently, "Are you going to die? Yang Jian, I don't want you to die."

Yang Jian walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, "I don't want to die either. Brother Xiao Yuan will find a way."

"Leave it to me." Li Zhuiyuan nodded calmly and walked towards his room.

He began to think about the supernatural phenomena he currently possessed, wondering which ghost could restore Yang Jian's balance.

It can pin down the severed finger of the Ghost Domain, the Ghost Clothes that Ye Feng originally controlled, and the Ghost Fang.

There's also a ghost rope.

Severing a finger can only imprison the opened ghost realm, and is not applicable to the current situation.

Once the ghost shroud is worn, it will continuously corrode the body. Yang Jian's body cannot withstand any more torment. It is possible that as the body dies, the vengeful ghost will resurrect more quickly.

Can it bite through the eerie teeth of the ghost realm and make it bite the ghost eye? The ghost teeth are fierce and cannot be used as a neutralizing agent for the headless ghost shadow and the ghost eye.

As for the ghost rope, besides hanging people, Li Zhuiyuan doesn't yet know what other uses it has.

After pondering for a while, he couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

Just then, the satellite-guided mobile phone rang.

"Li Zhuiyuan, that's me, Zhao Jianguo."

"I'm calling specifically to thank you for rescuing Tong Qian. I've already read Tong Qian's report; while rescuing her, you also dealt with a ghost tamer named Wang Yue and imprisoned a straw rope that could strangle people."

Li Zhuiyuan said coldly, "It's mine."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant," Zhao Jianguo quickly explained. "I didn't mean to harm that ghost. I wanted to thank you for imprisoning one, eliminating a potential threat to Dachang City. I know about Zhao Kaiming's situation; the higher-ups are discussing it now, and a decision will be made soon. It's highly likely they'll issue an arrest warrant for Zhao Kaiming. Also, your contribution this time is significant; someone will contact you within ten days to confirm your and Yang Jian's roles as criminal investigators and their appointments."

"I have some good news for you. The ghostly realm in downtown Dachang City has disappeared, and the knocking ghost has left. I won't bother you any longer. You and Yang Jian have worked hard this time, so get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhuiyuan continued to think about how to balance the vengeful spirit inside Yang Jian's body.

Two days have passed.

Zhang Wei called, saying that his dad's construction site was haunted and some workers were missing, and he wanted to ask Xiao Yuan and Yang Jian to go and take a look.

A luxury car picked up the two at the entrance of the residential area.

A construction site not far from the city center.

"Guanjiang Garden"

Li Zhuiyuan, Yang Jian, Zhang Wei, and his father Zhang Xiangui stood at the door.

A huge circular archway leads to rows of newly completed residential buildings.

Looking around, there are dozens of high-rise buildings and hundreds of villas; it's a very large residential area.

Built along the river, it boasts a beautiful environment.

Located at a convenient distance from the city center with easy access to transportation and a low population density, it is an ideal place to live.

Yang Jian immediately took a liking to the sales office of the residential complex, a luxurious European-style building, and wanted to move in there.

He then discussed business with Zhang Wei's father, and the two planned to use supernatural means to drive away the other two partners and take over the ownership of the entire Guanjiang residential area.

Li Zhuiyuan wasn't interested in any of that, so he asked Zhang Wei to take him to the haunted place in the neighborhood.
