Leuk San fell silent at this moment, his eyes staring fixedly at the anomaly that appeared on the old nautical chart.

No matter how you look at it, it was a signal of the Ghost Ship reappearing, not a case of his poor health or a sudden vision problem.

“Currently, the Ghost Ship’s appearance is still on the sea, and it hasn’t appeared within Dahai City yet, but it’s very close. This means the next time the Ghost Ship reappears, it will almost certainly enter the city directly… According to previous estimates, this time may be only half an hour at most.”

“However, the Ghost Ship got hit by a supernatural bus crash, causing some problems, so there might be some changes. But this matter is still very serious, notify Yang Jian to handle it, after all, he is the Enforcement Captain.”

At this moment, Leuk San sent out a paper man to leave the room.

The supernatural power of the paper man was not weak. Although it might not be much compared to the King and Captain, against an average ghost master, the paper man of Leuk San would be a difficult opponent.

Under the influence of the Ghost Domain, the paper man soon disappeared.

A moment later.

Yang Jian, who was sitting and resting on the rooftop, noticed something and turned his ghost eye in a direction, seeing a spooky eerie path appearing in the city. This path did not exist in reality but appeared as a manifestation of the Ghost Domain. On that path, Leuk San’s paper man was quickly approaching.

The paper man ignored the obstruction of high building walls and walked straight towards Yang Jian. Though its pace was slow, the Ghost Domain distorted the distance with reality, and within a few steps, the paper man was already on the rooftop.

“What’s the matter?” Yang Jian asked with a slight frown upon seeing this.

The moment he saw Leuk San’s paper man, he realized something very important had happened.

Otherwise, the paper man wouldn’t deliberately come to deliver a message, as ordinary matters could be settled with a phone call or a text message.

Leuk San’s paper man immediately said, “The nautical chart showed traces of the Ghost Ship again, and the location is very close to Dahai City. I’m worried that the next time the Ghost Ship appears, it might land.”

After speaking, the paper man pointed in a direction.

It was the direction of the sea.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian fell silent and said seriously, “We don’t have many people left. If we keep fighting, headquarters will collapse. The Ghost Ship absolutely must not land again.”

“Indeed, that’s why this matter is serious,” Leuk San’s paper man couldn’t help but sigh.

The Captain is gravely wounded; Wang Chaling has retreated. Leuk San, Li Leping, and Li Yang’s team are also in poor condition. Only Yang Jian, He Yiner, and He Yuelian can still take action from the Captain’s side.

But they are too few, incapable of dealing with the Ghost Ship.

Besides, they are the last few representatives of headquarters; if one or two of these three people also fall, there won’t even be a Captain to preside over the situation, and the Captain’s plan will fail, making the existence of headquarters practically nominal at that point.

“If we could bring back Sister Hong and Zhang Xiangguang, and summon Ye Zhen, maybe we could hold them off. After all, He Yiner still has the Soul Summoner…” Leuk San’s paper man suddenly said.

Yang Jian shook his head: “Don’t count on it. Do you really think Sister Hong’s method of annihilating the King can be used indefinitely? Zhang Xiangguang took out three Kings single-handedly; he’s paid his debt now. He’s probably left Dahai City and won’t get involved anymore. As for Ye Zhen, we might pull him back, but it still won’t change the situation. Although He Yiner’s Soul Summon can turn the tide, she’s already used three of her trump cards today: one to save me from the supernatural bus, one to deal with a supernatural event, and one against the King. Now, she only has one or two valuable relics left at most. You also can’t use up all the Soul Summoner’s trump cards from Taiping Ancient Town.”

“Maybe rallying everyone could resist for a while, but we can’t afford to risk more. Previously, the King Organization wanted to use the Ghost Ship to exhaust us by making it appear repeatedly until we were dead, but they underestimated us. They never expected that facing the joint attack of the King and Ghost Ship, people like Sister Hong, Zhang Xiangguang, and He Yiner would exist, causing them heavy losses and almost annihilation. Otherwise, we would’ve lost in the first confrontation.”

Leuk San understood Yang Jian’s stance.

The second landing of the Ghost Ship could be resisted, but it would mean staking the last resources, and losing would collapse everything. At that time, supernatural resurgence could no longer be stopped, so this power is best preserved, considering plans for the future as well.

“However, we can’t ignore the reappearance of the Ghost Ship,” Yang Jian stood up, frowning, and gazed into the distance, holding a red spear.

“Yang Jian, what do you plan to do?” Leuk San’s paper man asked curiously.

Yang Jian replied, “I will join forces with Tong Qian and He Yuelian to try to stop the Ghost Ship.”

“Just the three of you?”

Leuk San’s paper man was taken aback: “Aren’t you planning on using He Yiner? Her Soul Summon is crucial, and there’s still some time. If the headquarters prepares the Captain’s relics, you might be able to summon the deceased Captain. If the Captain regroups, the situation might turn around.”

“Summoning the Captain’s spirit to deal with the Ghost Ship is too forced, because the spirit’s duration is short. The Captain’s brief resurgence cannot turn the tide, and it would also exhaust some of the last trump cards. Given that, it’s better for He Yiner to conserve her strength, as her stable condition benefits the recovery and reconstruction of the headquarters later,” Yang Jian shook his head slightly.

“You’re even considering the reconstruction of headquarters?” Leuk San’s paper man’s tone showed a trace of helplessness.

“Opposing the supernatural is a long-term challenge. You can’t just consider the present; you must leave something behind. If the supernatural becomes completely uncontrollable, at least we can have some hope,” Yang Jian said calmly, his eyes unwavering.

Leuk San’s paper man said, “So, Yang Jian, you plan to front the Ghost Ship’s second landing by force?”

“He Yuelian is tasked with sealing off Dahai City to prevent supernatural spread and won’t take action actively. I will face the Ghost Ship alone. If I can’t hold it, Tong Qian will step up. He has the potential to turn the tide, but I’m not sure if his limits can achieve that. However, at this point, we can only try it out.”

Yang Jian’s tone was cold, as if he didn’t care about Tong Qian’s life and death. Similarly, he was willing to be the first to fight for his life.

“If both Tong Qian and I fail, I’ll have He Yuelian abandon Dahai City and surrounding areas. If necessary, she can activate the Peach Blossom Fountain plan in the areas affected by the supernatural. Instead of having ordinary people die at the hands of vengeful spirits, it’s better they live in a supernatural world. Zhang Xiangguang’s plan has some merit, although he was too extreme, trying to take everyone into the ghost painting to become its manager.”

“Putting everyone’s fate on a single person, Zhang Xiangguang couldn’t bear such weight, which is why we had to stop him. Whereas He Yuelian would only treat the ghost painting as a temporary refuge. Once the crisis is over, everything would still return to reality.”

At this moment, Leuk San’s paper man remained silent.

Yang Jian’s decision also made sense, as it looked at the bigger picture rather than short-term victory or defeat.

Perhaps that’s why Yang Jian became this Enforcement Captain.

“Next, keep an eye on the Ghost Ship. The nautical chart will give a warning before it appears in Dahai City. Notify me then, and I’ll take action immediately,” Yang Jian said.

“No problem, my paper man can still act; doing small chores is quite easy,” Leuk San’s paper man said.

Yang Jian nodded: “Alright, I should get ready. Since the Ghost Ship has shown up, the second landing will probably be this morning. This is no longer a time for rest.”

Having said that.

He no longer paid attention to Leuk San’s paper man. His ghost eye glanced in another direction of Dahai City, and then the Ghost Domain spread and he disappeared from sight.

Leuk San’s paper man didn’t follow; his existence was solely to convey such an important message.

When Yang Jian reappeared, he was inside a large, unused warehouse in Dahai City.

The team organized by Li Yang, Zhang Lei, and Wen Zhong was presently resting in this warehouse.

Yang Jian’s appearance surprised them.

“Captain, what happened?” Li Yang keenly sensed something was amiss and immediately stood up to ask.

Yang Jian did not speak but shifted his gaze to Tong Qian beside him.
