Chapter 15: Scam Phone Call
Yan Li, sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned in his seat after hearing Jiang Shan’s words,
He didn’t expect Jiang Shan to state so bluntly what he wanted.
“Ghost Blood?”
Actually, before Jiang Shan spoke, he had already guessed it.
What else could a rich and capable Jiang Shan want from him?
Besides this Ghost Blood that could suppress Fierce Ghosts, Yan Li couldn’t think of anything else on him worth others coveting.
Without hesitation, Yan Li replied:
“Good, I agree.”
He really had no reason to refuse; he couldn’t find a way to balance the Ghost Blood himself, and he would eventually die from Fierce Ghost Revival, so it was better to make his death worthwhile.
Knowing Jiang Shan’s strength, even though he hadn’t known him for long, he was willing to trust Jiang Shan.
In his view, rather than letting the Ghost Blood revive after he died quietly, it was better to use this Ghost Blood to exchange for a safe life for his wife and child.
This deal was him getting something for nothing.
Yan Li, having figured it out, had gratitude in his eyes as he said to Jiang Shan:
“Thank you.”
“We each get what we need, no need to thank me,” Jiang Shan said.
Half an hour later,
Jiang Shan, about to arrive home, suddenly asked Yan Li:
“What are you planning to do recently?”
“Um, I want to detain a ghost.”
Hearing Yan Li’s answer, Jiang Shan finally confirmed the current timeline; from the school, he had judged based on the haunting at the neighboring school that it was now probably the period when Yang Jian was detaining the Headless Ghost Shadow.
Hearing Yan Li’s words today, he could now finally confirm that his judgment was correct.
Before getting out of the car, Jiang Shan tossed the Car Key to Yan Li and said:
“You drive this car; I don’t like it. Wang Xiaoqiang’s car can’t be transferred.”
“Right, don’t drive this car to the Club; you know why.”
With that,
Jiang Shan walked toward his Residential Area.
When he returned to that rundown small rental room in his memory, it was already 4:30 in the morning,
The easternmost sky had even begun to lighten,
Dawn was approaching.
This night from 9 o’clock until now, Jiang Shan’s mind was already very fatigued, and at this moment, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
11:31
Perhaps because the Dead Face Ghost was suppressed by the Ghost Characters, Jiang Shan slept very soundly this time, and his body showed no discomfort symptoms.
He was woken by a series of urgent Phone ringtones,
“My face feels so numb.”
After waking up, Jiang Shan felt his face as if it had been fully numbed from a hospital surgery, or like facial paralysis, the numb sensation making him quite irritable.
“Who would call me?”
“And it’s an encrypted Phone.”
Jiang Shan had already guessed who was calling him at this point; after thinking for a moment, he decided to answer the call.
“Hello, is this Jiang Shan?” A young woman’s voice came from the other end of the Phone.
Jiang Shan replied: “Yes, who are you? What do you want?”
“I’m a staff member of the Asian International Criminal Police Department. Based on the on-site investigation by Dachang City police, it has been confirmed that the school you were at experienced a Supernatural Event last night, and you were one of the only two survivors last night, right?”
Jiang Shan said expressionlessly: “No, I’m a special Criminal Police from World Criminal Police Headquarters. I already reported last night’s incident to the Asian International Criminal Police Department; didn’t you receive it?”
“Hm?” The person on the other end of the Phone was clearly stunned and remained silent for a while before speaking:
“Okay, Mr. Jiang Shan, please wait a moment; I need to report to my superior for verification.”
“Good, no problem.”
At this time,
Ghost Wielder Headquarters, Asian Branch.
Inside the relevant department.
Jiang Qingwu, having finished consulting her superior, was completely baffled; she had never heard of “World Criminal Police this thing.”
“Maybe my level is too low and I can’t access it.”
Jiang Qingwu thought to herself,
Suddenly, her leader’s Phone nearby rang; it was her leader Zhao Jianguo calling, so she quickly answered,
“Jiang Qingwu! Didn’t you go through training? Where did World Criminal Police come from? I now seriously doubt your work ability and your IQ; you got scammed and don’t even know it?”
Then Zhao Jianguo gave Jiang Qingwu another scolding.
After hanging up Zhao Jianguo’s Phone,
Jiang Qingwu looked at the Phone in her hand that was still on the call with Jiang Shan, wishing she could revert to her student days as the trash-talking king,
If possible, she wanted to greet Jiang Shan’s parents right now.
Jiang Qingwu sat in her seat, face flushed with anger,
“This job is very important to me; I can’t lose my temper, I need to stay calm.”
“Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~”
After taking several deep breaths, Jiang Qingwu unmuted and said into the Phone:
“Hello, Mr. Jiang Shan, please cooperate with our investigation.”
“Okay, scam Phone lady.”
Good news,
The other party is willing to cooperate.
Bad news,
The other party thinks you’re a scam and just wants to tease you.
Before Jiang Qingwu could continue, Jiang Shan hung up the Phone.
He knew it was someone from Headquarters calling him, but now he wasn’t suitable to join Headquarters, at least not yet.
Rather than letting them know he had controlled a Fierce Ghost, it was better to play dumb for now, and join after achieving what he needed to do.
As for what Jiang Shan wanted to do, ever since the first time he drove the Dead Machine Ghost Characters in his body, he had a plan in mind.
“Kill Zhao Kaiming.”
Sitting on the bed, Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered; that day the Ghost Characters appeared in his mind:
“I am Jiang Shan. If I can control the Wishing Ghost, my Ghost Characters will undergo an unprecedented change. The Wishing Ghost is coming soon.”
Based on the timeline, Zhao Kaiming would indeed take over the Criminal Police position in Dachang City in the next few days.
“Although he has his pitiable side, for his own selfish desires, he raised a Starving Ghost, indirectly killing hundreds of thousands, even millions of people in Dachang City.”
Also for the Fierce Ghost in the other’s body,
But Jiang Shan knew Yan Li’s character, so he wouldn’t kill Yan Li for his need for a Fierce Ghost, but for Zhao Kaiming, Jiang Shan would not be merciful; if he had the chance, he would definitely kill him.
Even though the Fierce Ghost was indeed silently changing Jiang Shan’s mental character, even so, his heart still leaned more toward neutral, friendly types.
“When poor, one tends to one’s own morality; when powerful, one helps the world.”
“When it’s time to find Headquarters, I will naturally go. Now, though…”
Jiang Shan moved his finger, added the earlier Phone number to the blacklist, then stood up and walked out the door.
“Buy a car, buy Clothes, buy Lunch—I’m starving.”
Walking On the Road, Jiang Shan thought:
“No need to buy a house; I’m all alone, living anywhere is the same, not to mention I may not stay in Dachang City in the future.”
Because of the Dead Face Ghost’s characteristics,
If Jiang Shan really became an International Criminal Police, his first target would be the neighboring Xiao Chun City.
“Old Qin’s Supernatural Bus is one of the top existences in This World of Mysterious Revival.”
