Chapter 208: Has Death Come?
“Looks like the recovery is going well.”
“Not bad.”
Lin Qian looked at his own skin; it had already recovered.
But the fierce ghost inside his body was still being suppressed.
“Did your brother leave?”
Lin Qian asked.
“Yeah, taking Xu Zhou and Li Jun with him.”
“With those two around, no accidents will happen.”
Wang Xiaoqiang sat down.
“If they all ran into accidents, then the trouble would be really big.”
Lin Qian smiled.
Xu Zhou and Li Jun, the two were protecting Wang Xiao Ming.
If Wang Xiao Ming still got into trouble like that, then the thing they encountered would probably only be something he could handle.
Wang Xiaoqiang lay on the chair with his hands behind his head.
Living water flowed nearby.
Fish swam about.
“The weather is nice today. Want to go out for a drive?”
Lin Qian slightly raised his head. The sun was gentle, the breeze was blowing; the weather was indeed nice for going out.
“Sure.”
Lin Qian stood up and stretched lazily.
His bones all over his body made crisp sounds.
“By the way, tell me about the recent situation.”
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded.
The two headed to the garage, planning to drive out and take a look.
“Supernatural events have been happening frequently lately.”
“But the supernatural events in each city are all well controlled.”
The sports car roared, driving on the roads.
The flashy car model had apparently become a beautiful sight on the street.
Sometimes, a sight doesn’t have to be a woman.
“Have you seen the recent city officials?”
Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
Lin Qian shook his head: “No. This time out, I met two officials. Their strength was pretty good; both have the ability to handle S-level supernatural events.”
“You’re talking about Huo Tan and Liu Ping, right?”
Wang Xiaoqiang said:
“Liu Ping is an old veteran ghost controller. He was at headquarters before.”
“Huo Tan is a ghost controller who popped up later. He had some unpleasant conflicts with the previous official.”
“Later, that official mysteriously disappeared, and Huo Tan took over Da Xiang City.”
“What exactly happened, everyone knows in their hearts.”
It was nothing more than Huo Tan taking out the previous official and becoming the official himself.
This definitely wouldn’t have been allowed before.
But now headquarters is gone.
A few officials dying is no problem at all.
As long as you can ensure the city doesn’t fall, there are no issues, even if you’re the only ghost controller in the entire city.
“After headquarters fell, some of the previous popular rules are no longer useful.”
“Now, it’s all about strength.”
Lin Qian nodded: “That’s how it is now.”
“But most of it is because of what your brother said in Da Jing City.”
“The meaning expressed is that as long as you manage the city well, how you do it is no problem.”
Wang Xiaoqiang grinned. “It’s like leaving a way out for ordinary people.”
“After all, ghost controllers who can’t solve their own supernatural revival are the most likely to go crazy.”
“Now, my brother left them a way out, so they must properly fulfill their duties as officials.”
“Otherwise, they’ll have to figure out how to handle their own supernatural revival on their own.”
At this point, Wang Xiaoqiang paused.
“Of course, some ghost controllers don’t need help from others, but they’re the minority.”
“I discovered a pattern.”
Lin Qian turned his head to look. “Oh? What pattern?”
The scenery outside the window flashed by rapidly; Wang Xiaoqiang’s expression was very serious.
“Powerful ghost controllers seem to all have found their own methods to suppress fierce ghost revival, or become anomalies themselves.”
“Rather than relying on others.”
“Like Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen, and you, President.”
“Looking at the officials of all cities currently.”
“Shen Lin, Liu San, Wang Chaling, Li Lepeng, Huo Tan, Liu Ping, Yang Jian…”
“The current officials controlling large cities have basically all relied on themselves from becoming ghost controllers until now.”
Lin Qian stroked his chin. “What you said makes a lot of sense.”
“Moreover, I noticed that after the supernatural revival intensified and fierce ghosts appeared more frequently, fewer ghost controllers are appearing, but every one that does appear is inevitably an extremely outstanding and powerful ghost controller.”
As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he drove onto the bridge over the river.
There seemed to be construction on the bridge.
But the bridge wasn’t closed off.
Wang Xiaoqiang slowed down.
“Normally, as supernatural revival intensifies, the fierce ghosts that appear will also gradually become more terrifying.”
“To survive such supernatural events and become a ghost controller means they must have something extraordinary, and their luck is also extremely good.”
Survival of the fittest: the weak died early, only the strong can survive.
In previous supernatural events, good luck was enough to survive.
In current supernatural events, both luck and brains must be online at the same time; otherwise, surviving is hard.
The sports car slowly drove onto the bridge.
The wind on the bridge was quite strong.
But it didn’t affect passage.
One lane had a truck carrying steel cables stopped.
Lin Qian took note and saw that they were really doing construction to reinforce the bridge.
There were some cracks on the bridge surface.
Workers were pouring asphalt over the cracks.
Wang Xiaoqiang slowed down a bit more.
Lin Qian withdrew his gaze; the scenery on the bridge was still pretty good.
It was just that the wind was a bit strong.
But this wind was very refreshing and felt comfortable blowing.
Clack clack clack~!
Lin Qian looked up; it was the sound from the steel cables on the bridge.
Wang Xiaoqiang frowned slightly. “When did this bridge start getting repaired?”
“The final phase of the project?”
“I’ll ask Lu Lin later.”
Lin Qian didn’t care.
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded.
“Didn’t I handle a supernatural event at the reservoir before?”
Lin Qian nodded. “I remember.”
“What about it?”
“After the ghost there was dealt with, the ecosystem recovered very well. Fishing there is really great.”
“Last time Lu Lin went to inspect, he cast two lines and caught several of the hardest-to-catch crucian carp.”
Lin Qian’s eyes lit up at that.
“No wonder you brought equipment when you went out.”
Wang Xiaoqiang smiled. “Who doesn’t know you like fishing?”
“I also brought a grill and smokeless charcoal. We’ll grill and eat right after catching them. If you want steamed, I brought equipment for that too.”
Lin Qian’s eyes grew brighter the more he heard. “Well prepared, very good.”
Whoosh~!
The wind seemed to be getting stronger.
Clack clack clack; the sound from the steel cables was also getting louder.
Lin Qian frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.
Suddenly, a bus in front abruptly stopped.
Immediately after, a group of people ran down in terror.
They shouted while running that the bridge was going to collapse.
Wang Xiaoqiang stopped the car and looked at a few people.
The one shouting that the bridge was going to collapse was a woman.
Around twenty years old, she seemed like a student.
Lin Qian stuck his head out, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“The bridge is going to collapse?”
Wang Xiaoqiang opened the car door; the horn kept blaring.
Urging the bus ahead.
Lin Qian watched this scene and suddenly felt it was somewhat familiar.
“Bridge, construction, people fleeing… bridge collapsing?”
“Final Destination?”
Lin Qian was slightly stunned.
But suddenly.
