Chapter 212 Transforming into a Rainbow
At this moment, a helicopter was speeding towards Dachang City.
Wang Xiaoming sat in the helicopter, calmly looking in the direction of Dachang City.
He could not let his only younger brother die here; anyone else could be sacrificed for the right price in his eyes, everyone except Wang Xiaoqiang.
Turning Wang Xiaoqiang into a ghost summoner through an experiment was not his original intention. Rather, Wang Xiaoqiang had already been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and this was the only way he could keep his younger brother alive.
Thus, he chose the easiest ghost to control and the one least likely to cause its host's death.
This ghost was meant to protect his younger brother.
In this dangerous world, he needed a ghost to guard him.
However, it seemed his younger brother was not too grateful for his efforts, but that didn't matter—he was only doing what he, as an older brother, ought to do.
"Locate Wang Xiaoqiang's position and see where he is now," Wang Xiaoming suddenly spoke.
A technician immediately replied, "Through vehicle tracking, Wang Xiaoqiang's car is quickly heading toward the peripheral expressway entrance to the north, having already sped through the most dangerous part of the urban area."
"How long until arrival?" Wang Xiaoming asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Within three minutes."
Wang Xiaoming continued, "Locate the satellite phones of all ghost summoners in Dachang City and see if anyone is following."
"Got it." The technician swiftly began to track and search.
Each person in charge's phone was equipped with satellite positioning capabilities—all it took was the right access to perform global location tracking via software.
"There is a ghost summoner following behind Wang Xiaoqiang, and according to the satellite location feedback... this satellite phone belongs to Yang Jian. Oh my god, it's impossible; his signal is very strange. He was in the city center before, and now he has already left the city," the technician exclaimed in shock from the signal feedback.
The signal on the display screen progressed in a bizarrely erratic manner.
"The Ghost Domain, huh? But its range is limited, and he's not proficient enough with it to catch up with Wang Xiaoqiang," Wang Xiaoming glanced at the screen.
Based on the signal feedback from the screen, Wang Xiaoqiang's car speeds were approaching one hundred meters per second, while the signal from Yang Jian pulsed at three hundred meters intervals, but with pauses in between, each pause lasting about four seconds.
With that calculation, the speeds were virtually identical.
If it weren't for Yang Jian traveling in a straight line and Wang Xiaoqiang having to drive a longer route, the distance between them would only grow farther apart.
"Head to the designated pickup spot and retreat immediately once the person is collected," directed Wang Xiaoming.
Now, it seemed that the rescue would be without major issues.
At that thought, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"How can Wang Xiaoqiang drive so fast without fearing that he'll crash?" For the first time, Yang Jian truly despised people who drove supercars.
Even the Ghost Domain couldn't catch up when the speed was pushed to the limit.
It was first-rate for escaping.
And the location of the Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club was also critically chosen; if it were in the urban area, traffic could make Wang Xiaoqiang question his life choices.
Following this newly built asphalt road from just a few years ago, one could get directly onto the peripheral expressway to the north.
"To catch up with him, I'd have to change the method, a more delicate control over the Ghost Domain," Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he thought of a solution.
While moving through the Ghost Domain, he would extend it forward concurrently, thus eliminating the need for mid-way pauses.
Although he couldn't close a three-hundred-meter gap all at once, because there were no pauses, this method was quicker.
"Let's give it a try."
Yang Jian began his attempt.
A red light streaked across the road, and then three seconds later, another red light shot forward rapidly from the point where the first light had vanished.
"It's still too slow; keep experimenting," he thought.
The red light continued to extend forward, pausing for two seconds this time.
After one minute, the pause time shortened to one second.
Two minutes later.
The interval of one second disappeared.
The experiment was successful, a seamless transition in the Ghost Domain achieved.
At this point, drivers on the road could clearly see a red light fly by overhead at an unimaginable speed, just a flash and then gone.
Within that red light, one could vaguely discern the outline of a person.
No, what was seen was merely the residual image left in the viewer's eye; in reality, the person had already vanished from sight.
"Professor, not good, Yang Jian's speed has suddenly increased," the technician aboard the helicopter cried out, monitoring the signal feedback, "It's reached one hundred meters per second now, and the speed is still increasing, one hundred twenty meters per second, one hundred fifty meters per second... now two hundred meters per second, my god, what kind of ghost machine is this?
Does he intend to break the sound barrier? Such speed is unachievable by any means of transportation; only flight could possibly do it."
Wang Xiaoming's face subtly changed, "You're right, Yang Jian indeed took flight."
"I've studied the Ghost Domain before and have gained some insight into its application. If controlled well, those who command ghosts can simulate a form of flight using the Ghost Domain."
"There are also records of this in ancient times. They referred to this method of travel as... 'Rainbow Transformation'."
"Different times, different names, different descriptions, but essentially the same thing."
Looking at the signal on the display screen, Wang Xiaoming immediately said, "Drive the helicopter forward, we can't wait for the highway anymore. Pick him up at this intersection."
He pointed at the map, confident that this was the most suitable location.
However, at this moment, Yang Jian had already pushed his speed to the extreme by utilizing the Ghost Domain.
Although he wasn't as fast as those resurrected malevolent ghosts, he was pushing his limits as far as he possibly could.
Such extreme speed even surprised Yang Jian himself.
Because he... had taken to the sky.
Enveloped in red light, the scenery on either side blurred past so quickly it was indistinct, with only the blue sports car ahead steadily getting closer in his vision.
At this speed, Yang Jian wasn't worried about colliding with telephone poles, cars on the road, and such.
Existing within the Ghost Domain, he was ethereal, just a shadow; ordinary objects couldn't touch him, so he could recklessly increase his speed.
"It's big brother's helicopter."
At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang, who had recklessly sped the sports car, narrowly avoiding several car accidents, had finally escaped the most dangerous section. The driving skills he had honed over a year had at last come into play today.
In the end, he saw a helicopter approaching from afar.
It was Wang Xiaoming's private chopper.
Once aboard the private chopper, not to mention a single Yang Jian, even ten wouldn't dare to attack Wang Xiaoming's chopper, or else they'd be shot dead on the spot, even if they were in charge.
"Did I survive?" Wang Xiaoqiang gasped for breath, only then noticing his entire body soaked with cold sweat.
But after his narrow escape from death, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"What makes you think you've already survived?" At that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from beside Wang Xiaoqiang.
Right beside him.
Less than a meter away.
"What?" Wang Xiaoqiang jerked his head to look,
only to see Yang Jian had somehow taken the passenger seat.
"You..." Wang Xiaoqiang was both shocked and angry.
But Yang Jian immediately said, "Watch the road, drive carefully."
It was then that Wang Xiaoqiang abruptly realized the world in front of him had changed color, as if enveloped in a layer of red light, and he could no longer see the blue sky or the dazzling sun.
The world was eerily silent, so quiet it was terrifying, and even the helicopter that was once in front of him had vanished.
Ghost Domain~!
"Yang Jian, you bastard."
Wang Xiaoqiang bared his teeth in fury, feeling somewhat desperate.
His own big brother was right in front of him to pick him up; why, why was Yang Jian here?
He knew very well what it meant to enter the Ghost Domain; without special means or Yang Jian's permission, there was no way to leave this cursed place by normal means.
Even if the Ghost Domain spanned only a few hundred square meters.
"You should have killed me yesterday when you had the chance. I told you, if you don't kill me, I will kill you. With the experience of dealing with you once before, you won't be able to resurrect again this time," Yang Jian remained seated in the passenger seat, indifferent.
"Let's see who dies first," Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly pulled out a gun, ready to kill Yang Jian in front of him.
The next moment.
"Bang~!"
The car hit something, jolted violently, then soared into the air and crashed down hard onto the road, rolling forward wildly due to the high-speed momentum. A sports car worth tens of millions immediately began to disintegrate, becoming a shattered wreck.
"I told you to watch the road and drive carefully. You didn't listen. If you don't mind, please turn off the engine, step out of the car, and present your driver's license," Yang Jian said, standing in front of the ruined vehicle, looking at Wang Xiaoqiang covered in blood.
He wasn't dead yet.
If Wang Xiaoqiang had any skill, it was not dying easily; never mind a car accident, even if his head was severed, the ghost within him could help reattach it.
But not this time.
Yang Jian already knew how to completely kill Wang Xiaoqiang this time so he wouldn't resurrect.
