“The specific arrangements for handling the Ghost Ship are as follows: once the Ghost Ship appears, He Yuelian will directly use the Ghost Domain to seal off all nearby areas, dragging reality into the ghost painting, isolating both the living and ferocious ghosts. With the absence of living people around, the danger level of ferocious ghosts will also decrease, as there will be a lower probability of triggering the kill pattern of these ghosts. Meanwhile, I will also use Ghost Lake to sink most of the ghosts with a lower Terror Level to the bottom of the lake, just like before…”

“The real danger lies in the confrontation afterwards. Some ghosts cannot be sunk by Ghost Lake and need to be manually contained. Facing such level of ghosts, even a captain risks being eliminated, so I will take action then.”

Yang Jian at this moment was discussing some details on handling the Ghost Ship with Tong Qian and He Yulian.

“Just you alone? I won’t be joining you?” Tong Qian was quite surprised.

Yang Jian said, “Yes, just me alone. I can restart myself, able to ignore most supernatural attacks. With the Firewood Knife’s dismemberment and the Coffin Nail, as long as I can withstand it, I can contain quite a number of high-risk ghosts. I can’t guarantee perfection, so I’ve also considered the potential for failure, hence you’ll act afterwards to handle the remaining ghosts.”

“Yang Jian, your arrangements seem problematic. If we act together, shouldn’t the effect be better? Why place me afterwards?” Tong Qian still didn’t quite understand.

“I have my arrangements, just follow them.” Yang Jian said.

Tong Qian pondered for a moment, finally nodding: “Alright, I trust your decision. So what should I prepare for?”

“Your Ghost Face has immense potential. This time, you need to fully exploit this potential. If possible, you can possess extraordinarily supernatural powers in a short time. However, the supernatural is filled with uncertainties; you might even die because of it. I don’t dare to gamble, so I can only use you as a backup.” Yang Jian said very seriously.

“I see.”

Tong Qian understood, then continued: “At most, I can use the ghost makeup to draw three faces, but merely using other captains’ supernatural powers might not be enough to turn the tide. The only way is to use the supernatural powers of ghost tamers stronger than the captains.”

“Exactly, that’s why there’s a risk.”

Yang Jian nodded: “I will give you two faces belonging to the top ghost tamers from the Republic of China Era. I don’t know what will happen once you draw their faces, but I’m sure that if this succeeds, you can handle the Ghost Ship’s subsequent issues alone.”

“What if it fails?” He Yuelian asked from the side.

Yang Jian glanced over: “If it fails, you seal off all the surrounding areas, drag people into the ghost painting world, and initiate the Peach Blossom Fountain plan. Unless headquarters resolves the supernatural there one day, you can’t let the living escape the ghost painting world, otherwise, they remain in there forever.”

He Yuelian was momentarily taken aback by these words.

She hadn’t expected Yang Jian to say such things, actually agreeing to the Peach Blossom Fountain plan.

“So, is this the final method? No other emergency measures?” Tong Qian was somewhat stunned at this moment.

He wasn’t afraid of risking his life, just hadn’t expected to be the final link in the plan.

This gave him immense pressure.

“Most of the captains are dead, headquarters is about to collapse, no one is left to back us up, we are the last defense. Unless, it’s like Su Fan said, gathering everyone for one more fight against the Ghost Ship, but losing like that would be even worse. I sense something unusual behind this, so we can’t repeat previous actions. The Ghost Ship appears to drain our last strength, are we foolish enough to cooperate? That would truly be seeking our doom.” Yang Jian said calmly.

Tong Qian fell silent upon hearing this.

He Yuelian also stopped speaking from the side.

Though Tong Qian didn’t realize it, being a captain, He Yuelian still sensed the situation’s change. The reason everything is relatively calm now is because Yang Jian is still alive, the remaining captains and ghost tamers follow his orders. Once Yang Jian is gone and the main pillar of headquarters falls, that’s when the real crisis begins.

“Yang Jian, actually we still have one card left to play.” Suddenly, at this moment, Leuk San’s paper figure appeared again, speaking a sentence upon arrival.

Immediately, everyone else turned to look at Leuk San’s paper figure.

Yang Jian wasn’t surprised by Leuk San’s arrival but directly asked, “The card you’re talking about isn’t the headquarters’ statue, is it?”

“Yes.” Leuk San’s paper figure nodded: “Back then, Old Qin sealed himself within the statue to leave a backup for use in times of crisis. I think it’s time.”

“Gold isolates all the supernatural, so there’s no way to tell if Old Qin is dead or alive. That statue might open to reveal a ferocious ghost; what do we do then?” Yang Jian frowned.

Leuk San’s paper figure said, “Then let there be one more ghost in the world, since we can’t deal with the Ghost Ship, one more ghost doesn’t make a difference.”

Yang Jian pondered this for a moment, thinking Leuk San’s suggestion made sense.

Indeed, when the time comes, rather than watching the Ghost Ship constantly releasing ferocious ghosts, why not shatter the statue and try awakening Old Qin? What if Old Qin is still alive? Maybe he has a way to deal with the Ghost Ship after all; living so long, he understands the supernatural better than anyone now.

“Alright, prepare Old Qin’s statue, and once the Ghost Ship appears, bring it over.” Yang Jian said.

Leuk San said: “Before engaging with the King Organization, the deputy minister already prepared everything, waiting for a command; the statue will be brought over in the shortest time.”

Yang Jian nodded, then asked, “How’s the Ghost Ship situation now?”

“This time, my paper figure came over to talk about this. Now the old nautical chart has returned to normal; the Ghost Ship’s location disappeared, meaning it has once again vanished from the real world. We can’t be sure where it will appear next, but I’m watching constantly. Once there’s news, I’ll inform you right away.” Leuk San’s paper figure said.

“Alright, anyway, I’m ready here, can act at any time.” Yang Jian said.

The group could only continue to wait at this moment.

Though aided by the nautical chart, they can only foresee five minutes in advance.

Within those five minutes, whether the Ghost Ship will appear and where remains unknown.

However, it’s strange.

The news of the Ghost Ship’s second appearance was very secretive, with no outsiders knowing except for Yang Jian, Leuk San, and others, yet the news somehow spread across the supernatural circle.

On the ghost tamers’ website, someone confidently claimed the Ghost Ship appeared near Dahai City, ready to dock at any moment.

“What? The Ghost Ship’s back? Didn’t the King Organization fall? How could it reappear?” Someone was amazed.

“Haha, Ghost Ship’s second appearance, releasing another ship full of ferocious ghosts. What’s left of the captains to fight with? I think everyone’s doomed this time; the King is mostly dead, the captains are mostly dead, supernatural incidents won’t be addressed anymore, better prepare early. I’ve already set up a shelter in advance.” Some gloated.

“Ye Zhen’s gone mad, someone needs to handle this guy. He’s targeting King Organization members for killing, and some mysterious thing seems to be guiding him. Even secret bases are found; at this rate, who knows how many will die by his hands.”

“Hope for the best; Master Ye is avenging the ghost forum members. Your King Organization wasn’t very honorable, raiding people’s homelands entirely. How can he let you go now?”

The online discussions continued.

However, a long-silent user suddenly spoke up.

“Be careful what you say on this site, some speakers here aren’t human; there are real ghosts mixed in. I’ve been targeted by a ghost, currently fleeing for my life. Not sure if I’ll have another chance to post, so wish me luck.” User ‘I Have a Plan.’

Many noted this user’s warning.

Upon hearing this, numerous ghost tamers felt a chill down their spines.

There are speakers on this site who are not alive but actual ghosts?

No wonder many familiar faces have vanished online recently.

Could it be that they were killed by the ghosts after being targeted?
