Chapter 172: Sun Yan’s “proactive” Joining
Cao Yanhua’s concerns were dispelled, while all high-level officials were busily preparing for the meeting and Zhou Deng along with a group of prospective branch Ghost Wielders were detaining Fierce Ghosts.
Jiang Shan, who had left the hospital, had already called a car and was preparing to handle another event. Although it wasn’t urgent, it was very necessary.
That was Sun Yan’s body problem.
As for why Jiang Shan paid so much attention to her, what he valued was not her identity as the daughter of the headquarters Minister.
Rather, it was the decisiveness and absoluteness that Sun Yan displayed in this Supernatural Event, which Jiang Shan greatly appreciated.
Although many domestic folk Ghost Wielders had already developed the idea of joining the branch, and the number of Ghost Wielders implementing the new system could be said to be more than enough.
But Jiang Shan’s own team still lacked suitable personnel.
After disappearing following the Ghost Domain’s intrusion into the Present World, Zhang Dongxing who controlled the Dead Machine Luck Ghost counted as one, and Zhou Deng, the original work’s later Captain who had just controlled his third ghost, counted as one.
If possible, Jiang Shan was very willing to have Sun Yan join his own team as well.
After all, having a reliable team would allow him to get involved in many Supernatural Events and search for the “Becoming a God” Puzzle Piece.
Because Dachun City was the top domestic car production site back in the day, the local taxis all carried a Northeastern “boldness.”
In other words, they drove very fast.
“Little Brother, are you sure this place is your home? You didn’t get the positioning wrong, did you? How come I’ve never heard of this place?” The Driver Brother who had been driving for a while suddenly asked in doubt.
“That’s the place, Driver, just drive. I’ll sleep for a bit first; call me when we arrive,” Jiang Shan said slowly.
“Alright, no problem, sleep away, Little Brother.”
Because Jiang Shan hadn’t settled down in Dachun City for more than a few days, and he also didn’t like the high-profile scene when he first arrived in Dachun City, he rejected Cao Yanhua’s offer of a special car and escort, and instead casually hailed a taxi.
Although he had now completely fused with the Blood Ghost and become an Anomaly.
Due to the Ghost Lotus, his emotions were forever stuck in the past timeline, so the current Jiang Shan had retained the habits from back then.
Sleep in the car!
This was a good sign, at least indicating that Jiang Shan’s emotions were very “healthy.”
“Brother, Brother! Where did you tell me to drive? Is this still domestic? Look for yourself, those security officers are carrying real guns!”
Jiang Shan, who had only dozed off lightly for a short while, was suddenly awakened by an anxious voice. The Driver Brother in the driver’s seat was looking at him with a bewildered expression.
“How do you know those are real guns?” Jiang Shan seized on the key point and suddenly asked.
“Hey, back when I went up the mountain to hunt Northeastern tigers, I… I’m not talking about poaching, it was approved from above.”
“Wait, why is that security guy coming over with a gun! This isn’t some military base, is it? Damn, Brother, are you a spy?!”
At this point, the Driver Brother’s expression tightened. Without a word, he immediately opened the car door and bolted out.
The moment he got out of the car, he raised both hands over his head and shouted loudly at the “security officer”:
“Brother, I’m a native of Dachun City, my grandpa served in the Northeastern Army and fought the little Japs, I’m no spy! The kid in the car, the shifty-eyed one, he’s the little Jap spy!”
Jiang Shan: “?”
The special combat guard dispatched by Cao Yanhua specifically to protect Chen Yue’s family’s safety was also somewhat stunned upon seeing the Driver Brother’s actions.
He had originally just come to drive away unrelated personnel, but he hadn’t expected to encounter a spy?
But after seeing the person in the back seat through the taxi’s front window, the guard’s vigilant expression instantly relaxed. He quickly ran to the rear car door and shouted loudly to Jiang Shan, who had already gotten out:
“Minister good!”
“Thanks for your hard work.” A smile appeared on Jiang Shan’s face as he nodded to him.
“Minister?! Him?” The Driver Brother’s brain seemed to have been restarted. In his impression, which big shot protected by guards wasn’t a steady, elderly, authoritative middle-aged man.
And this young man in a black suit, pale-faced, handsome but exuding an eerie aura from head to toe, was actually a Minister?
“Thanks for your hard work, Driver Brother. I’ve already paid you. Head back quickly.”
Seeing the Driver Brother’s expression, Jiang Shan felt a long-lost urge to laugh in his heart. After encountering the Supernatural, it had been a long time since he felt this way.
“Damn, brothers, let me tell you…”
With the Driver Brother’s departure, a weird legend began circulating in Dachun City’s car enthusiast circle:
《Shock! Dragon Son in Dachun City!》
Upon returning to the Study Room, the first thing Jiang Shan did was check on Sun Yan’s current condition.
He saw a woman with no arms and severe body fibrosis sitting motionless on his Chair, as if pondering life.
Upon seeing Jiang Shan enter, a hoarse voice like Straw Rope sweeping the ground sounded:
“Minister Jiang, I don’t need to introduce who I am, right? By rights, we’re both comrades who have shared life-and-death experiences.”
“Indeed, a life-and-death bond. That initial attack decapitating me nearly killed me. I knew you wanted to remind me, but I hadn’t expected that method,” Jiang Shan said flatly.
Although it was their first meeting, their conversation felt like that of old friends who had known each other for years, with no awkwardness whatsoever.
“Ghost Rain’s Rules seem ordinary, but they’re different from what you guessed. Without that Mirror, you would have died long ago.”
At this moment, Sun Yan, unaffected by Shen Bao’s Supernatural Influence, had no issues with her mental state aside from her poor physical condition. She continued:
“None of that matters anymore. You haven’t finished handling Ghost Rain’s Supernatural Influence on Dachun City, right? So your purpose in coming here is to help me?”
“This body is Derived Supernatural from the Ghost Lotus. You know, apart from Shen Bao, you’re the only one who can help me restore this body.”
“Were you raised in the Northeast?” Jiang Shan interrupted Sun Yan, who was about to continue, and asked.
“Yeah, back then my dad got posted to Dajing City and left me and my mom here. Otherwise, why do you think I’m the Person in Charge in Dachun City? What’s wrong with being from the Northeast?”
Hearing this, Jiang Shan chose to remain silent. Sun Yan’s blunt, bold and outgoing personality left him unsure how to respond.
Just imagine,
A woman as beautiful as a goddess from a dream suddenly spouting a bunch of Northeastern dialect at you:
What the heck, what’s up.
Jiang Shan, who had the right to remain silent, quickly walked up to her and placed both hands on Sun Yan’s body.
The Ghost Lotus’s Killing Pattern is touch, but because Sun Yan’s current body originated from its own Supernatural, the Ghost Lotus did not attack her and instead repaired her body.
Watching her arms gradually regrow and her body begin to regain human form, Sun Yan looked at Jiang Shan with a delighted expression and said:
“Whoa, you’re too cool, Buddy. From now on, I’m sticking with you.”
Gratitude for the brothers’ support!
Begging for monthly tickets from all you godfathers~!
Please!!
