Yang Jian immediately realized that his previous concerns had become a reality when he noticed the incorrect number of people around him for the second time.
He initially suspected that there was a problem with the restaurant. So, as a precaution, he didn't finish his meal and asked Zhang Wei to settle the bill and leave.
After leaving, Yang Jian temporarily put this matter aside. If there really were supernatural events at the restaurant, it had nothing to do with him. It was Zhao Kaiming's headache, and he wouldn't be kind enough to handle the supernatural matters for him.
But now, the situation did not disappear because they left the restaurant. It followed them to the KTV.
"Another supernatural event?" Yang Jian could already confirm it in his heart.
Something was staying by his side in a way that he and the others didn't notice, and it had been following them all along.
It appeared with him and the group at the restaurant earlier.
And now... it appeared at the KTV.
"Could it be another ghost?" Yang Jian looked at the beer cans on the table, deep in thought.
If there really was a ghost, and it hadn't started killing people during such a long time of following them, it meant that the terror level of this ghost was low. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been safe all this time.
With the experience of the Huanggang Village incident, Yang Jian knew that acting recklessly without understanding the situation could easily lead to someone's death.
Since everything was calm at the moment, he could temporarily accept the presence of the fifth person until it started killing people.
"If there really is a ghost, who brought it?" Yang Jian glanced at the people in the private room.
There weren't many people.
But Miao Xiaoshan and her cousin Shangguan Yun could be excluded first.
Because they were the last ones to arrive at the restaurant, and the table was already set with dishes and chopsticks before they came. So the ghost definitely didn't come with them.
"Did the ghost come with Zhang Wei or Zhao Lei?" Yang Jian's gaze shifted. "But my suspicion is definitely the smallest. I am a ghost tamer myself, currently controlling two ghosts. Even if there really is a ghost, it wouldn't choose me as the first target."
"So, it's very likely that the ghost came with Zhang Wei or Zhao Lei."
Yang Jian looked at Zhang Wei, who was singing, and Zhao Lei, who was drinking alone beside him.
Zhang Wei had previously mentioned that a few days ago, he played a drinking game in front of the mirror and won all night, causing his face to swell.
Although his actions were skillful, if this was true, he would be highly suspicious.
But Zhao Lei's suspicion wasn't small either.
He had been very interested in supernatural events recently, investigating all over Dachang City, going to sealed neighborhoods and parks. He had a sense of professionalism in risking his life, and his actions were equally skillful. So, there was a chance that he had attracted a ghost.
"Now that it's confirmed that the supernatural event was brought by Zhang Wei or Zhao Lei, I can try to find out if the ghost is still in this private room at least."
Yang Jian looked at the small private room and felt a chill when he thought about the invisible ghost sitting somewhere with him and the others.
In the next moment, a ghost eye on his forehead opened slowly, breaking through the flesh.
Then, the images seen by the ghost eye were transmitted into his mind.
It was a world shrouded in red light. The entire private room seemed to be stained with blood, and even the people were enveloped in a faint red light.
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly, Wang Shanshan, who had been quiet, raised her head and looked at Yang Jian.
More precisely, she was looking at the ghost eye on Yang Jian's forehead.
"I'm looking to see if there's a person here that we can't see." Yang Jian looked at Wang Shanshan with a strange expression.
Could she immediately sense it when he used the ability of the ghost eye?
And... at the moment the ghost eye opened, he and Wang Shanshan seemed to have a vague connection.
This connection originated from the ghost eye mark on her wrist.
Through that mark, Yang Jian seemed to be able to control her entire being.
Curious, he tried it.
Suddenly, Wang Shanshan, who was beside him, stood up abruptly, her face showing confusion and numbness.
"What did I just do?" She blinked, feeling surprised and doubtful when she suddenly stood up. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⸺fire.net
"You were lost in thought for a moment and didn't do anything." Yang Jian calmly replied.
He could directly control Wang Shanshan, and even she didn't know what was happening. It was as if something forcibly took control of her body in an instant.
"Is that so? I was indeed lost in thought just now. What did you see?" Wang Shanshan asked.
"Nothing, everything is normal."
Yang Jian's ghost eye didn't see the nonexistent person in the private room.
But he found it strange.
Since he couldn't see it himself, why didn't the waiter make a mistake when delivering the drinks? The waiter must have already counted the number of people in their group. But how did he include a nonexistent person?
The waiter was definitely an ordinary person and couldn't possess any special abilities."I need to step out for a moment."
Feeling the need to clarify something, Yang Jian immediately rose from his seat and left the private room.
Wang Shanshan subconsciously wanted to follow him.
"Just stay here and keep an eye on things for me."
"Alright." Wang Shanshan nodded in agreement.
Yang Jian wasn't worried about any unexpected incidents happening in his absence. If anything was to happen, it would have already occurred, and certainly wouldn't wait until this moment.
After making a round, he found a waiter in the establishment.
The waiter was a young man in his early twenties, wearing glasses, and appeared quite refined.
"Excuse me, how many people came to our private room earlier? I noticed that seven bottles of beer were delivered to us. Did you make a mistake?" Yang Jian asked.
The waiter looked puzzled and replied, "No, there were seven of you. How could I have miscalculated?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's brows furrowed.
This waiter had seen the ghost hidden among their group.
Yang Jian wanted to ask the waiter about the appearance of this person.
But he stopped himself before the words left his mouth.
It was a foolish question. The waiter didn't recognize any of them. How could he know who was human and who was a ghost? Describing appearances was nonsense.
Could language accurately describe someone's appearance?
"Then, among the seven people, how many were women?" Yang Jian asked.
"Two, I think. One with very fair skin, and another who was quite cute. Why, don't you recognize these two beauties?" The waiter asked in confusion.
"No, they're my classmates. I was just asking." Yang Jian replied, "I won't disturb you any longer. You can go back to your work."
"Alright, call me if you need anything." The waiter said.
After getting his answers, Yang Jian had a rough idea in his mind.
From the outside, the ghost could be judged to be... a man.
But the questions in his heart did not lessen.
Could this waiter actually see the ghost, or did the ghost intentionally let him see?
If it was the latter, Yang Jian wouldn't need to worry too much. But if it was the former, the fact that the waiter could see the ghost meant he met the conditions to see ghosts.
