Mysterious Revival

Chapter 776: Team of 7 People



Today.

The office on the top floor of Shangtong Tower is relatively lively.

Yang Jian, Feng Quan, Tong Qian, Li Yang, Huang Ziya, Zhang Han, a total of six Ghost Eaters gathered together, such a number and personnel configuration are an immense force that cannot be ignored anywhere.

Ghost Eaters are not as common as cabbages on the streets.

They are a rare existence.

Even on Ye Zhen's supernatural forum, there are at most around ten administrators.

Not every Ghost Eater is qualified; some ordinary people become Ghost Eaters by luck, but lack the quality and capability, usually dying quickly, or if not, their sanity eroded by fierce spirits, becoming abnormal, unable to function as team members.

So, the Ghost Eaters who survive and possess both ability and quality are not many.

"Just now, I thought I heard a woman crying in the next room. Captain, you weren't doing something bad, were you?" Huang Ziya's flawless face showed a meaningful smile.

"Oh, does Brother Tui have such interests? Share it with us?" Feng Quan, the seasoned trickster, chimed in from the side.

Tong Qian scoffed lightly: "Boring, it's all ghosts now, who would be interested in that stuff."

"Elder Sister Tong Qian, don't say that, actually, if you want, I can help you get back your previous body, guaranteed to make men's hearts flutter and women jealous."

Huang Ziya played with the dark crystal pendant hanging on her neck.

A very cheap item, at most ten yuan each if bought outside.

But the crystal pendant imprisoned a fierce spirit.

A fierce spirit that can impact real objects.

Including the bodies of the living.

"No need, I've gotten used to this, and it's pretty good, sparing me from some disgusting men's thoughts."

Tong Qian actually refused the proposal to restore her normal body.

"Elder Sister Tong Qian, it's a pity for you not to live as a beautiful woman."

Huang Ziya said: "Look at me, just walking around the building a while ago, I don't know how many people were stunned."

Her finger gently traced in front of her.

An astonishing and perfect curve emerged, akin to a ghost in movies, mesmerizingly beautiful.

However, none of the people present were interested in her.

After all, most of them had seen Huang Ziya's real appearance, just a common woman tormented by a fierce spirit, now she was like wearing a mask, the beauty was temporary, and if the problem of ghost resurrection couldn't be resolved, becoming ugly again was just a matter of time.

Tong Qian didn't respond, but the crying from the next room concerned her, she stood up and said, "I'll go check it out."

After speaking, she glanced suspiciously at Yang Jian.

"You didn't really do something excessive, did you?"

"Don't look at me like that, I, Yang Jian, am pure and flawless in my life, never bullying others with power, if there are any bad rumors outside, they must be someone spending money on paid trolls to spread them," said Yang Jian.

At this time, Li Yang said, "Captain Yang, the one crying inside should be Xiong Wenwen's mother, I saw her this morning, last time Leuk San left a paper figure for Xiong Wenwen, most likely for this matter."

"Leuk San's paper figure? That guy is very mysterious, I heard about him when I was in charge of Dachang City, he's a Ghost Eater who has lived for a long time," Feng Quan said.

His term 'lived for a long time' means at least more than a year.

In the world of Ghost Eaters, that's considered quite long.

"The situation is like this..."

Yang Jian briefly explained the situation about the ghost drawing and Xiong Wenwen's matter to the others so that everyone understood the whole story.

"So, Captain, you want to resurrect Xiong Wenwen?" Huang Ziya understood and her expression became a bit somber.

After all, reviving the dead carries taboos.

This is especially true in the supernatural community, because you don't know if the resurrected person is really the same person.

Feng Quan said, "There are certain risks, but the conditions for resurrection are all met, truly worth a try, HQ has considered it thoroughly, we have the methods, just waiting for Brother Tui's approval, just didn't expect Brother Tui you would delay until now, if it were me, I would have tried last time."

"Out of respect, we still need to consult Xiong Wenwen's mother Chen Shumei's opinion, after all, once there's any anomaly in Xiong Wenwen's resurrection, I will have to step in to detain him, and also, using a paper figure left by Leuk San as the body for resurrection, it's uncertain whether there will be any hidden issues."

"Of course, Chen Shumei also has to accept the harsh reality that her son has become a paper figure."

"This is indeed cruel for a mother, if the attachment isn't that strong, letting her child rest in peace might not be a bad thing," Zhang Han remarked from the other side.

His child is only one year old.

If his child became like this, he might not choose to save him.

It's not that I don't want to.

But living as a paper effigy is too cruel for a child.

Rather than living a life neither human nor ghostly, it's better to rest in peace.

Yang Jian said, "That's why I can't make decisions for Xiong Wenwen, the choice is in Chen Shumei's hands, and that's what we were just discussing."

"Seeing one's own son turn into a photograph, that's indeed devastating," Huang Ziya idly played with her thick, black hair, thoughtfully speaking.

Yang Jian said, "This isn't urgent, let Chen Shumei think it over. The reason I called everyone today is to discuss forming a team."

"Although I am the team leader, at headquarters I'm merely a name. In actuality, it's no different from having resigned. Currently, I'm only responsible for the safety of this city of Dachang City and some surrounding towns and villages. My jurisdiction isn't large, so I don't have many team formation slots."

"Just seven."

Team slots are crucial. Without them at Yang Jian's disposal, Feng Quan, Tong Qian, Li Yang, headquarters would've ordered their reassignment.

Because most of the members are under the name of headquarters.

With these slots, as long as Yang Jian is capable, he could directly recruit up to seven members, and headquarters would turn a blind eye.

"Brother Tui, does that mean our team can only have these few people?" Feng Quan asked.

Huang Ziya said, "This number of people is enough. An overseas ghost control team generally consists of about five people, a seven-person team isn't small."

"Team Leader Yang, it looks like we don't even have seven people yet, we're not at full strength."

Li Yang counted the numbers, including himself, Tong Qian, Feng Quan, Huang Ziya, Zhang Han, and Yang Jian, that makes six.

"For now, it's just us. We'll fill the remaining slots gradually. I've considered Zhang Lei before, he's quite unique, but his condition seems rather bad, so I've tasked him with solving the ghost resurrection issue. Not sure if he can handle it. Of course, I'm also considering Xiong Wenwen, assuming he truly can be resurrected."

As Yang Jian spoke, he glanced again in the direction of the safe house.

Chen Shumei's crying had stopped, her emotions should have recovered quite a bit.

"That Zhang Lei, code-named Ghost Eater?"

Feng Quan pondered and said, "Indeed, he is a very special person, but he's too prone to ghost resurrection, obviously the ghosts he controls are terrifying. If we don't solve this problem, adding him to the team might disrupt stability, which would rather be a bad thing."

"Xiong Wenwen is good, his Premonition Ability is very important, it's worth fighting for."

Yang Jian said, "I'm working on this, so let's tentatively settle on these team members for now. Also, I will arrange for you all to move into Guanjiang Residential Complex, and of course, your families, relatives, and friends can move there too. I'll have my secretary arrange the houses."

"Is it free?" Li Yang asked.

"Of course, one villa per person, plus usage rights to a safe house. As for relatives and friends, they won't have it as good, only ordinary apartments will be given," Yang Jian stated.

"That's enough, people like us don't even know how long we'll live, having too much is pointless," Feng Quan said, not as a hedonist, but as someone with ideals and ambitions.

Yang Jian continued, "That's why the aftermath needs to be well arranged. Besides, I will have my secretary provide each of you with a share transfer document later, one-tenth of the company's shares per person. If someone happens to die, these shares can serve as an inheritance, to be inherited by parents and offspring."

"Can I ask roughly how much it is?" Li Yang curiously asked.

"I'm not sure, at least over ten billion per share, though it's not comparable to those global top 500 listed companies, but ensuring that your families and relatives live well is no issue. However, you can only receive dividends annually from the shares, they are not for sale. I hope you understand, I wouldn't want the company's shares to be bought and sold until it collapses eventually, after all, everyone must be considered," Yang Jian articulated earnestly, earlier he had discussed this issue with Zhang Liqin who had been working at the company and had gained ample knowledge; it was her idea.

"Brother Tui, you've really struck it rich, so generous," Feng Quan joked with a smile.

"These are just minor details," Yang Jian casually said, waving his hand and continuing, "Let's continue discussing the team issues. Every team needs a leader, a Boss. Naturally, the first team leader will be me, but everyone has the possibility of dying, so if I die, who will be the second team leader?"

"I definitely don't want to be the team leader," Huang Ziya stated bluntly.

She believed she lacked such ability.

"It should be between me and Elder Sister Tong Qian," Feng Quan considered for a moment before stepping forward.

The team members were still too inexperienced, Li Yang, Huang Ziya, and Zhang Han could only be considered newcomers. The capable ones were only Elder Sister Tong Qian and himself.

"If no one else objects, the second team leader will be Feng Quan, the third will be Tong Qian... and so on down the line, whoever is still alive is responsible for this team," Yang Jian declared.

"Let's continue discussing other issues..."

The emergence of a team isn't just about coming together; it requires tying interests as well as establishing rules.

It's also to ensure that if someone suddenly dies, the team can still continue.

Because the existence of this team isn't just for dealing with supernatural events, but rather for survival in unity,

according to Yang Jian's ideology.

Even if several team members die, as long as this team exists, their parents, family members, and siblings will have enough benefits to avoid being deserted when in need.
