Chapter 834: Chapter 801 Airport Rendezvous

“We’re saved.”

Yang Xiaohua now seated in the car, heaved a deep sigh of relief, feeling the joy of narrowly escaping death.

Her previous actions had been correct.

For one person to leave Dachuan City for the airport was exceedingly difficult, most likely resulting in death along the way; therefore, the best strategy was to intercept Yang Jian’s car on the road.

She was lucky to have successfully stopped Yang Jian on a main road.

But she nearly didn’t make it to this moment.

If Yang Jian had been delayed even slightly, Yang Xiaohua would certainly have been killed by those eerie people.

“This is not something a woman should get involved in. If you were smart, you should have stayed at home, watching TV, eating snacks, waiting for good news, instead of foolishly coming to Dachuan City. After all, the letter wasn’t with you, your coming here was pointless, other than delivering yourself to death, I can’t think of any other outcome.”

Yang Jian glanced at Yang Xiaohua in the rearview mirror.

Her face bore scratches, her clothes stained with blood, one of her legs even broken, with blood continuously flowing from her forehead through her hair.

Clearly, her injuries were severe.

“You’re right, we really shouldn’t have come to Dachuan City.” Yang Xiaohua took a shallow breath, also feeling regret.

“But we didn’t plan to deliver the letter, we were just curious to come and check out the situation, never intending to go to the Mingyue Community. We were attacked by ghosts the moment we arrived in Dachuan City…everything happened too fast, it was beyond our expectations.”

We?

Yang Jian asked, “Is anyone else with you?”

“Cai Yu and Liu Mingxin came, there were three of us in our group,” said Yang Xiaohua.

Yang Jian continued, “Did the two of them get separated from you?”

“Liu Mingxin is dead,” said Yang Xiaohua after a pause; “Cai Yu is also seriously injured, hiding somewhere in this city, and it’s very likely that he is in grave danger as well…”

“That means he’s dead.”

Yang Jian’s expression remained unchanged: “That’s expected, after all, you were messengers of the second floor, and suddenly coming to the third floor is one thing, but also attempting to deliver the third letter of the third floor, it’s been a skip in difficulty levels, a pity you lacked self-awareness, thinking previous deliveries went smoothly, this time just being cautious and staying away from dangerous areas would be safe.”

“Learned your lesson, right?”

He shook his head.

As expected.

The messengers of the second floor were still lacking.

Li Yi and his group were impressive, he could be sure that although they were attacked, they didn’t die, each had their own means to save their lives, unlikely to be killed by these ghostly corrupted beings.

“You are right.”

Yang Xiaohua had to admit, although Yang Jian was arrogant and dangerous, he spoke the truth.

Listening was infuriating, but it was all reality.

They truly came with wishful thinking, and received a bloody lesson in return.

They didn’t even see the gate of Mingyue Community before they were completely annihilated.

What a pity.

Time will not flow backward, they’d never understand this truth without living through these experiences.

People only grow from making mistakes and learning lessons.

Heeding the words of the elders, history would not repeat itself.

“Your injuries are severe, if you don’t go to the hospital, you’re still going to die.” Yang Jian glanced at the rearview mirror: “The bleeding hasn’t stopped, and your leg is broken, are you feeling very sleepy now?”

Yang Xiaohua’s expression changed upon hearing this, quickly gathering her energy.

She indeed felt very tired and wanted to sleep in the car, but she didn’t think she would never wake up, believing she was just injured and needed rest.

She would think about getting treatment after waking up.

But Yang Jian’s reminder suddenly made Yang Xiaohua realize that something was wrong about her condition; she reached out and touched her head.

A pool of fresh blood.

She had been extremely anxious and scared just now, only focused on running away and had not noticed these.

Yang Xiaohua thought of past news stories, where an ordinary person was hit by a car and stood up as if nothing had happened, but then died suddenly the next day.

She felt that was exactly her situation.

“It’s no use going to the hospital at this point,” Yang Xiaohua said with a bitter smile. She wasn’t fool, she knew her situation was very bad.

But staying in Dachuan City was no longer an option, going to the hospital meant she had to leave Dachuan City.

There simply wasn’t enough time.

Yang Jian wouldn’t change his route to go to a county hospital nearby just for her.

“You really are running out of time, but there are always exceptions, and today you’re lucky to have met me, I can save you,” Yang Jian said coldly.

You?

Yang Xiaohua was startled at first, then skeptically asked, “How can you save me? Are you a doctor?”

“I’m not a doctor, and I don’t know any medical procedures, but I can restore your body,” Yang Jian said. “There might be some side effects, but it will bring you back to your previous healthy state.”

“That’s impossible.” Yang Xiaohua widened her eyes, thinking he was fooling her.

Yang Jian said with a smile, “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”

He didn’t speak further, just kept driving in the direction of the airport.

Two minutes passed.

Yang Xiaohua’s condition was getting worse, and she really felt as if she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep. This wasn’t something willpower could fight against; it was because her body was injured and couldn’t stay awake.

She felt that once she fell asleep, she would never wake up again.

The strong desire to survive made Yang Xiaohua rally again, and she asked, “Yang Jian, can you really save me?”

“Do you think I was joking with you just now?” Yang Jian replied without turning his head, his tone cold.

“If you can save me, what do I need to do to make you help me? You’re not the type to help someone without a reason,” Yang Xiaohua said.

Yang Jian gave a slight smile, “I already saved you once, if it wasn’t for me you would’ve been killed already. Now you’re still wary of me, although it’s good to be cautious, your mind isn’t clear enough. I think you might as well just go ahead and sleep, after all, escaping from the post office alive is already very difficult.”

“This painless way of dying isn’t bad, suitable for couriers like you, since it’s much more comfortable than dying at the hands of a fierce ghost,”

Yang Xiaohua bit her lip: “That’s not what I meant, what do I need to give you in exchange for your help to keep me alive? I have nothing you would value, unless you’re interested in me as a person. But I suppose a being like you wouldn’t be much interested in women.”

“Indeed, I don’t have much interest in women.” Yang Jian said indifferently.

Yang Xiaohua said; “So, do you pity me? Or do you need to use me for something later?”

“It’s not that complicated, someone asked me for help, I responded to that call, that’s all. It’s like someone praying to God, and God opened his eyes,” Yang Jian stated. “How do you find that explanation?”

Yang Xiaohua was stunned.

She did not expect Yang Jian to think like that.

Unrelated to benefits, pity, or even mood.

Merely acting on a whim, like a random person pulling out a weed at the roadside.

No reason why.

“Your thoughts are really dangerous,” Yang Xiaohua felt that Yang Jian no longer considered himself as a human when thinking about things.

But now was not the time to ponder these things, she continued; “What do you want me to do to cooperate with you?”

“You don’t need to cooperate with me because if I am going to do something to you, you have no power to resist,” Yang Jian said and then, a cold, dark shadow silently stretched from the driver’s seat towards the back.

Part of the Ghost Shadow swiftly invaded Yang Xiaohua’s body.

A chill swept through, jolting Yang Xiaohua awake instantly.

Then, she felt fear as her body seemed to be quickly losing control as if another person was forcibly taking over her body. The sensation was strange and terrifying.

“What, what is this?” Yang Xiaohua widened her eyes.

Li Yang explained from the side, “Don’t move recklessly, this is the Captain’s shadow, it is now taking over your body and healing your injuries.”

He was also aware of the Headless Ghost Shadow’s background and understood some of its abilities.

At this moment, Yang Xiaohua saw that her twisted, deformed calf was miraculously straightening by itself, an invisible supernatural force twisting and pulling at her body, seemingly stitching it back to normal.

Throughout the process, she felt no pain.

Because her body had lost all sensation, there was no pain.

The shadow’s encroaching reach grew larger, and wherever it spread, the injuries there were healed.

In no time at all.

Yang Xiaohua felt the chill in her body rapidly fading away, followed by the gradual return of her bodily sensations, much like how one regains control after sleep paralysis. She regained control over her once uncontrollable body.

Immediately.

Yang Xiaohua abruptly sat up, gasping for air deeply.

She felt a sensation as if she was suffocating, her body out of control, her consciousness plunging into darkness.

Terror, despair.

Having experienced it once, she never wanted to go through it again.

“My, my body has really healed?” Yang Xiaohua felt around, only to discover that the painful injuries had returned to normal, even the broken leg didn’t have the slightest pain.

Her entire being had indeed returned to its healthiest state.

Injuries vanished.

Yang Xiaohua no longer felt the exhaustion and need for sleep; her energy was suddenly restored.

“Incredible.”

She widened her eyes, feeling that this experience was too bizarre.

“Is this also the ability of a ghost…”

Yang Xiaohua was not foolish, she immediately guessed what was happening.

Such eerie phenomena, other than a vicious ghost, ordinary people couldn’t possibly achieve.

“The ability of a vicious ghost, if used properly, can bring a dying person back to life, but of course, that same ghostly entity can kill you swiftly too, just in an instant, and your body will shatter into pieces like building blocks.”

Yang Jian said; “No need to thank me.”

“Because a mere thank you is too pale and powerless. I’ve saved your life twice now, so if I ask you to do something in the future, you’d better not refuse.”

“If you can keep me alive, whatever you ask me to do, I can agree to it,” Yang Xiaohua’s eyes moved, staring intently at Yang Jian.

This person was simply unfathomable.

Not only did he steal the abilities of a vicious ghost, but he also could imprison real ghosts.

Moreover, he could even save someone with such severe injuries.

Cai Yu was not wrong at all; in this city, her only chance at survival was to follow Yang Jian.

“Don’t be so eager, I’m not even sure if I can survive, let alone assure your survival. If we encounter real danger, your life is still fragile.”

“Enough talk, we’re almost at the airport.”

Yang Jian stopped talking and focused on driving.

Yang Xiaohua calmly observed the man in front of her.

With her thinking, she couldn’t fathom Yang Jian’s thoughts; she only knew he was very special, at times extremely reliable, in the post office, such a person was both a nightmare and a savior.

He could easily kill everyone on a floor, or casually pull a dying person back to the living.

“Thank you.”

After a moment, Yang Xiaohua opened her mouth to speak.

No matter what she was thinking, this Yang Jian indeed had saved her life; even if a thank you seemed pale and powerless, she was still very grateful to this person.

Yang Jian didn’t respond to her, still focused on driving.

The vehicle had now arrived outside the airport.

The lights of the vehicle shone outward, and immediately many figures were seen moving outside the airport.

Due to the incident with Yang Xiaohua earlier on the road, it was already close to 7 p.m., and it had already turned to night outside yet those people hadn’t dispersed and were still lingering at the airport.

“Yang Jian!”

In the surrounding silence, a voice suddenly floated in through the car window.

A ghost was calling out Yang Jian’s name.

“They’ve spotted us.” Yang Xiaohua sharply gasped, sticking her head out the window and looking around.

“Don’t drive into there, many people have already set their sights on us; getting out of the car now will lead to big trouble.”

“Yang Jian!”

Someone else was calling Yang Jian’s name, the eerie sound echoing in the night sky, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Before Yang Xiaohua could finish speaking.

The car stopped abruptly.

Yang Jian directly got out of the car and walked towards the airport.

“Do you think these things can stop us? If not for some bad luck, we would have dealt with the ghost here already,” Li Yang also got out of the car, glancing at Yang Xiaohua.

Yang Xiaohua’s facial expression fluctuated uncertainly, realizing then that both of these men were not ordinary.

“Yang Jian!”

Yet another person was calling out Yang Jian’s name; the vicious ghost seemed to be constantly targeting him, not giving up on its goal.

“I’m right here, if you want to kill me, come over.”

Yang Jian was unfazed, directly addressing the issue, even somewhat provoking the vicious ghost.

“My body has rotted again.”

“My body has rotted again.”

The eerie voice came from the eerily empty airport hall, sounding like a flight attendant’s voice, but it was very stilted, like a restless spirit lingering there.

Yang Xiaohua’s hair stood on end, and the steps she was taking to follow had unconsciously slowed.

In such a place, could there really be no danger?

There truly was a vicious ghost there.

“You want my body, I’m at the airport, come if you want it,” Yang Jian responded to that drifting voice.

Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen were about to arrive.

If the ghost dared to come, it would be falling into a trap.

However, the ghost didn’t know; it wasn’t aware that Yang Jian had called for backup.

“I am here.”

“I am here.”

…..

The voice of the ghost ebbed and flowed.

From every direction, there were voices.

Even from the distant forest outside the road, sounds drifted over.

“Indeed, they’ve been following us all along. It seems since we left that head supermarket, we’ve been constantly watched by ghosts. It’s no surprise that we were followed with all the eerie watchers lurking in secrecy along the way,” Yang Jian said, “then let’s deal with it here.”

“Yes, this time we will definitely not fail,” Li Yang nodded and said.
