Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 132: One person who sneaked in

"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

In the private room of the KTV, Zhang Wei picked up the microphone and was testing the sound.

As the most active member, he naturally became the "microphone tyrant".

The strange situation in the private room earlier was not taken too seriously by everyone. After all, nothing happened, so there was no fear. Moreover, being together in a lively entertainment venue with a large crowd of people dispersed any fear of ghosts and monsters.

They did whatever they wanted.

"Are you really okay now?" Yang Jian looked at Wang Shanshan beside him.

She had been speaking very little since the beginning, and she always stayed by his side wherever they went. Sometimes, there would be unintentional contact, and he could feel the coolness on her skin.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Shanshan leaned against him.

It felt like an intimate moment in a passionate relationship.

"I'm fine. It has always been like this," Wang Shanshan said.

"I'm not talking about your physical symptoms, but the changes in your mental state," Yang Jian said.

Wang Shanshan looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Changes in my mental state? No, I feel very normal. More normal than ever before."

That's not a normal thing to say.

Yang Jian thought to himself.

He knew that the scariest thing about the influence of evil spirits on humans was not physical, but mental. He could feel that he had changed a lot compared to before, but this change felt so natural that it didn't feel abrupt.

"Yang Jian, can I always be with you in the future?" Suddenly, Wang Shanshan said.

"Huh?"

Yang Jian widened his eyes, surprised. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know either. I just want to be with you. I feel very comfortable when I'm with you... and I feel physically uncomfortable when I'm not by your side. Sometimes, it feels like I'm not in control of myself, and I've become a bit strange," Wang Shanshan said softly.

"Your words sound a bit strange to me," Yang Jian said. "But I think it should be the influence of this thing on you, not your own will."

"But what does that matter?" Wang Shanshan said.

"Whether it's the body controlling the mind or the mind changing and affecting the body, I am still me. I know what I'm doing... Do you mind the way I am now?"

Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and simply said, "I don't mind your current state, but being with me is not beneficial, only harmful. You should be more filial to your parents. They have done a lot for you and deserve to be treated well by you."

"Okay," Wang Shanshan softly agreed, then fell into silence.

Still that cold and distant appearance.

The influence of being a ghost slave on her was gradually expanding. Previously, it was only a physical influence, but now it had invaded her mental state.

And this was irreversible.

"Today, on this rare day of gathering, I, Zhang Wei, have a song to dedicate to all of you, reminiscing about the glorious years we spent together for three years." At this moment, Zhang Wei took the microphone and spoke.

"Zhao Lei, you better not let him sing," Yang Jian recalled something and immediately said.

"Why? Is he a terrible singer?" Yang Jian said. "Not really terrible... it's just that he used the wrong method when he learned to sing before."

This guy really likes to sing Cantonese songs, but because he's not good at Cantonese, he uses homophones in Chinese.

As a result, he learned it, but his pronunciation of Cantonese is inaccurate, so it sounds strange.

In his own words, it's the "Zhang-style singing method".

"Singing 'Turtle Shell Die Oyster' for a lifetime, in the tower of kidney life..." With the opening music playing, Zhang Wei took the microphone and sang with a deep voice.

"It is indeed strange," Zhao Lei felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Yang Jian was mentally prepared.

"By the way, I wanted to ask you something before. Who are the 'Ghost Tamers'? Are they the same as that detective Zhou Zheng? And how did you bring us out of school before? Are you also a 'Ghost Tamer'?" Suddenly, Zhao Lei leaned over and asked in a low voice. "If it's inconvenient for you to answer, then forget it."

Yang Jian raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised. Zhao Lei had already started investigating the 'Ghost Tamers' in supernatural events?

It must be said that with determination, one can still achieve some success. After all, he was just an ordinary student investigating.

"If you don't want to say, it's okay," Yang Jian shook his head and said. "It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just that some things haven't been spread yet. It's not beneficial for you to know too much. But since you asked, it doesn't matter if I tell you a little. 'Ghost Tamers' are people who can control evil spirits. They usually play a role in dealing with supernatural events."

"It's better to stay away from these people if you encounter them in the future... they are very dangerous."

"Ghosts are not as simple as you imagine. The truth of the school is far more terrifying than what you have encountered before. It's lucky that we survived."

"Dealing with evil spirits?" Zhao Lei listened attentively. Suddenly, he asked, "Is there any way to become a 'Ghost Tamer'?"

"Why do you want to become a 'Ghost Tamer'?" Yang Jian looked at him strangely.

"Isn't it good to be alive?"Zhao Lei said, "I've been having nightmares recently, feeling like there could be ghosts anywhere. I think if I become a Ghost Tamer, I should be able to get rid of this shadow."

"You're wrong. Becoming a Ghost Tamer means living in a nightmare for the rest of your life. Don't pursue such a thing out of curiosity... it's very painful," Yang Jian replied.

"I think I can handle it."

Yang Jian said, "It's not about whether you can handle it or not, but whether you can survive. Taming evil spirits carries a great risk. Do you have the confidence to survive in supernatural events as an ordinary person? If not, I advise you to give up this idea."

"I'll consider that. Do you know how to become a Ghost Tamer?" Zhao Lei asked further.

"As far as I can see, there's no method to become a Ghost Tamer, only accidents."

Yang Jian said, "These people are all accidents. With billions of people in the world, the occurrence of supernatural events, although the chance of accidents is very low, there are always some unlucky ones who become Ghost Tamers in the face of a large population."

He was also curious about the emergence of Ghost Tamers.

Terrifying ghosts cannot be tamed by humans, they would be killed directly. Only by taming those ghosts that have not yet revived and grown can one become a Ghost Tamer.

But such ghosts cannot be found before they grow.

So it seems that only accidents and coincidences are possible.

Even if the chance is one in a hundred thousand, in a city with a population of one million, there would be about ten Ghost Tamers.

But Yang Jian believed that with the increase of supernatural events, the number of Ghost Tamers produced by accidents would also increase.

"Why is becoming a Ghost Tamer considered unlucky? Instead of being lucky, they have gained Transcendent power, just like the protagonist in the middle, I'm actually a bit envious of you," Zhao Lei said.

"The protagonist in the middle gains power too easily, as if it was arranged by heaven, of course, it's worth envying. But the reality is, you have to exchange your life for such a thing, and you may not even get it. Even if you are lucky enough to get it, you have to wander between death and terror every day. The price is too high," Yang Jian said.

He began to understand Zhao Lei's thoughts.

Mysterious power always attracts some people.

And these people will only see the benefits it brings and absolutely not the consequences of this power.

"Even though you say that, if I have a chance in the future, I definitely want to become a Ghost Tamer. I don't want to die like the other students in school, like ants. I want to live in a valuable way."

Zhao Lei picked up a bottle of beer from the table, opened it, and gulped it down.

"I can't say your choice is wrong, but I can't help you with that," Yang Jian said calmly.

"I know."

At this time, Zhang Wei was still singing deeply, "Just licked the shell left by my buddy, greeted the light flying sleep desire, in the storm dry buddy..."

The lyrics made Yang Jian's scalp numb.

"You're right, we shouldn't let Zhang Wei continue singing," Zhao Lei agreed with his previous words.

But when Yang Jian looked at the seven bottles of beer on the table, he was stunned again.

He remembered that the KTV activity was one bottle of beer per person.

Including his cousin Shangguan Yun, there were only six people in their group. Why were there seven bottles?

It was as if an extra person had appeared out of nowhere.

"An extra pair of chopsticks appeared at the restaurant earlier, and now an extra bottle of beer here. This is definitely not just a coincidence," Yang Jian's face changed, and he stood up abruptly.

One coincidence was enough.

If it happened twice, it meant that something had infiltrated their group.

And the scary thing was, they didn't even know it.

The keen awareness of a Ghost Tamer allowed him to react first.
