Chapter 27: The News Brought By Wang Xiaoqiang
“Wu Xun…… didn’t come back.” The middle-aged man said with a serious expression.
“Wu Xun might be dead, we should avoid the president recently.”
“The president’s condition isn’t good.”
The woman wearing a long skirt said with a trace of fear in her eyes.
They weren’t originally following Lin Qian from the start, but were old ministers from the previous dynasty, and didn’t have heartfelt loyalty to the current emperor.
There was also no trust to speak of.
“I’ll go notify Chu He.” The young man among the three walked straight out of the villa without hesitation; he wanted to personally bring Chu He back.
Soon, outside the villa, the roar of a sports car sounded.
The middle-aged man and the woman exchanged a glance with each other, then hurriedly followed out, each driving their own sports car to go find Chu He together.
Right now, the president was clearly in a rage; staying here was as dangerous as being in a supernatural event.
In the office, Lin Qian, who had showered and changed into casual clothes, leaned back on the sofa.
“Fierce Ghost Revival is less than two months away.”
“I need to control a Fierce Ghost to delay the Fierce Ghost Revival.”
Recalling his operations in the Ghost Domain.
Lin Qian carefully reviewed, thinking about various possibilities.
“In the last confrontation, Wu Xun died instantly, Liu Lin escaped, and I faked death to get away.”
“I hid in a living person’s body, which temporarily avoided the Fierce Ghost’s attack.”
“Next, I hid for a while, and the ghost after Wu Xun’s revival followed the Ghost Slave over together.”
Lin Qian thought, if he had come out of Zhang Baihui’s body at that time and controlled Wu Xun’s ghost, would the result have been better?
But soon, Lin Qian rejected this idea.
“The probability of death would double, and even controlling Wu Xun’s ghost would be equivalent to useless.”
Once he left Zhang Baihui’s body and controlled Wu Xun’s Fierce Ghost, his own Fierce Ghost Revival would definitely be delayed, but the terror level would also increase.
Although the increased terror level wasn’t high, if he hid in a living person’s body again afterward, the stimulation to the Fierce Ghost Revival would increase, and the living person he hid in would quickly turn into a corpse.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly; if that were the case, he would inevitably have to frequently change hiding targets.
Every time he changed, his own Fierce Ghost Revival speed would accelerate a bit, and the possibility of being targeted by that ghost would increase a bit.
From the later situation, after Liu Lin died, he hid in Zhang Baihui’s body and was still targeted.
“Without knowing when reinforcements would arrive, my operation was just waiting to die.”
But in this supernatural event, Lin Qian was very clear that even if he controlled Wu Xun’s ghost, or even Liu Lin’s ghost, without Liu Yi’s help, he would still die in the Ghost Domain.
Lin Qian knew he had missed an opportunity to become stronger.
Reviewing the entire supernatural event, from the start to his escape.
He had relied on Liu Yi sending the survivors out of the Ghost Domain to escape.
Without any survivors leaving the Ghost Domain, he couldn’t leave this supernatural event.
Lin Qian’s eyes flickered, “I wasn’t decisive enough. I should have directly killed him when I knew Liu Lin didn’t have a satellite positioning mobile phone and knew the opponent’s Fierce Ghost killing pattern, and forcibly controlled the opponent’s ghost.”
“Instead of thinking about teaming up with three people to detain and handle this supernatural event.”
“Can’t trust others’ abilities too much.”
Lin Qian rubbed his face.
This loss, he remembered.
Lin Qian leaned on the chair, looking at the ceiling.
Losing a member was equivalent to losing a ghost.
His own Fierce Ghost Revival had accelerated.
That ghost……
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly; could he use Wang Xiaoqiang to obtain that ghost?
Only targeting males, this killing pattern wasn’t useless.
And that killing pattern of evading upon being attacked was a divine skill; as long as it wasn’t an inevitably hitting attack, the opponent could evade it.
Moreover, it also had a Ghost Domain.
The terror level was high, and it could grow by killing.
This ghost’s danger and terror level were solidly A-level supernatural event.
He couldn’t control it when the opponent revived, but there was no reason he couldn’t control it when the opponent was detained.
Even if he only plundered a part of the opponent’s supernatural power, it would be enough; if he could plunder the Ghost Domain, his survival ability would greatly improve.
But soon, Lin Qian dispelled this idea.
The opponent wouldn’t give him such a ghost, even in exchange it might not work.
Feeling a headache, Lin Qian temporarily didn’t know where to make up for the loss.
Lin Qian sighed, slowly closing his eyes.
He was very clear that he wasn’t the protagonist; not every supernatural event he encountered would bring benefits.
Supernatural events were never something to gain benefits from.
……
Knock knock knock~!
The room door was suddenly knocked on.
Lin Qian abruptly opened his eyes and looked toward the doorway.
“Come in.”
After a pause, Lin Qian realized where this was.
The door was pushed open, and Chu He, trembling with fear and uneasy, walked into the room.
Outside the door, the three Ghost Controllers looked sympathetically at Chu He’s back.
The place where the president invited guests to eat was the site of the supernatural outburst.
Now, Wu Xun was dead, and those cooperative shareholders were also dead; all of this was due to Chu He’s choice of location.
This woman was in trouble!
The door was closed.
Lin Qian looked indifferently at Chu He.
Chu He swallowed, becoming even more uneasy.
“P-President……” Chu He knelt on the ground with a thud, her expression desperate, “Don’t kill me, I still have use!”
Lin Qian frowned, somewhat puzzled, “Why would I kill you? Give me a reason.”
“Huh? You didn’t call me because of the supernatural event at the place I chose?” Chu He was stunned, her originally tearful expression turning somewhat bewildered.
“Oh? So, did you know in advance that a supernatural event would occur there, or did you cause that supernatural event?”
Hearing this, Chu He hurriedly shook her head, “How could that be? I’m just an ordinary person; how could I have that ability?”
“Isn’t that right?” Lin Qian rolled his eyes, “It’s not your fault, so why would I kill you?”
“Remember, killing is illegal.”
Lin Qian picked up a cigarette and lit it.
His subordinates had some deep misunderstandings about him.
He wasn’t some ruthless killer.
Killing for no reason was something only a lunatic would do.
He was perfectly sane.
“I called you to find some shareholders; all the club’s shareholders died or were injured in this supernatural event.”
“The club needs to operate; without money, just relying on rent collection isn’t enough to live on.”
Although they were a Ghost Controller club, and members were Ghost Controllers who didn’t care much about wealth.
But they still needed money; they needed resources.
Especially gold and news channels.
Hearing this, Chu He finally felt relieved.
“President, I understand. I’ll immediately handle this matter.”
Lin Qian nodded, “Go, keep an eye on that supernatural event and the follow-up situation.”
“Yes, President!”
Chu He finally completely relaxed; the other party wasn’t blaming her but assigning her a task.
She was very glad she didn’t have to die.
Chu He quickly stood up, bowed to the president, then hurriedly turned and left the office.
The three Ghost Controllers guarding the doorway were slightly stunned when they heard the footsteps, and then the room door opened.
Chu He, intact and even without a change in clothes, appeared before them.
The three were somewhat surprised, looking at Chu He in astonishment.
Once the door closed.
“You’re, okay?” Yu Lin, the young man with colorful dyed hair, asked incredulously.
Chu He frowned, “Do you really hope something happened to me?”
“If something happened to me, who would handle your resources?”
Yu Lin’s face darkened at the first sentence, but at the last sentence, his expression froze.
Damn, that seemed to make sense; if something happened to Chu He, who would arrange their resources?
The president?
Don’t joke; they didn’t dare ask the president for resources.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of the president, but that troubling him with such a small matter wasn’t good.
Chu He’s words immediately made the three understand her importance.
“You’re okay; that’s the best thing.” Man Yue, the woman in the long skirt, showed a sincere smile.
The middle-aged man Si Zeyuan nodded with an accompanying smile.
Chu He didn’t say much more to the three; Ghost Controllers’ brains weren’t quite right, and these three were clearly messed up by the supernatural.
But the president was different; his brain worked very well.
“The president gave me some tasks; I need to handle them urgently.”
Hearing this, the three hurriedly made way.
Chu He quickly went downstairs in her high heels.
The three exchanged glances, their gazes falling on the tightly closed room door; they shuddered and hurriedly moved away from the room.
……
“Headquarters, the supernatural event has been handled; the Fierce Ghost has been detained.”
A woman shrouded entirely in chilling cold, with dry skin and a numb expression, reconnected with headquarters.
The eerie Ghost Domain in the sky slowly disappeared like smog blown away by the wind.
Sunlight once again illuminated this land.
Warm winds blew, and the trees lining the streets, originally lush green but now turned withered yellow, rustled.
Withered yellow leaves fell with the wind, along with the ready-made roses scattered everywhere from Wan Rong’s wedding.
“Well done, Jiang Liuli!”
Zhao Jianguo’s excited voice came from the satellite positioning mobile phone.
“The cleanup troops have been notified and are on their way.”
Jiang Liuli looked at the bulging body bag under her feet upon hearing this; there were two ghosts inside.
One was the source of this supernatural event, and the other was the City Official’s Fierce Ghost after its revival.
To be honest, this ghost was indeed not easy to handle.
If she hadn’t evaded the opponent’s main killing pattern while her own Fierce Ghost characteristic slightly countered the opponent, it would have been basically impossible for her to detain this ghost.
From the opponent’s ability to evade supernatural attacks, it was very unsolvable.
“Received, Captain. My Fierce Ghost is about to revive; I apply to cooperate with Professor Wang’s research on delaying Fierce Ghost Revival.”
“I think, with my merit, it should be enough.”
Jiang Liuli sensed her condition; the Fierce Ghost was restless, about to revive.
Based on the current situation, she estimated at most less than two weeks until Fierce Ghost Revival.
Handling this supernatural event had made her already bad situation worse.
“When you set off, I already submitted the application for you; the Minister has approved it. You can go to Professor Wang’s lab upon your return to cooperate with the research on delaying Fierce Ghost Revival.”
Hearing this, a creepy smile appeared on Jiang Liuli’s numb expression.
“Thank you, Captain.”
“This is what you deserve.” Zhao Jianguo said seriously.
“However, before you return, there’s a small task for you to do.”
Zhao Jianguo changed the subject.
“Another place had a sudden supernatural event they couldn’t handle?” Jiang Liuli seemed accustomed to it.
“No, it’s to help deliver something.”
“Oh? Deliver something?” Jiang Liuli frowned, somewhat puzzled, “Why me?”
Zhao Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then told Jiang Liuli everything.
After hearing it, Jiang Liuli suddenly understood, “I see. According to what the Captain said, they contributed a lot to me handling this supernatural event.”
“Indeed, so we need to give them face.”
“Understood, I’ll deliver it.”
Cleanup personnel quickly entered the scene.
At most half a day, the casualty statistics would be complete, and the event would have an investigation result.
Black Eight Club.
Ding ling ling.
A phone call rang.
Lin Qian’s eyelids twitched; he glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and answered it.
A day had passed since that supernatural event disappeared.
Chu He hadn’t gotten any reliable news, nor had she learned the core of the supernatural event.
Lin Qian didn’t mind; after all, he hadn’t expected much from Chu He.
An ordinary person could hardly learn about headquarters’ matters.
He answered the phone.
“What is it?”
“Eh, you’re still alive?” A surprised voice came from the phone.
Lin Qian’s face darkened, “Are you here to pick a fight?”
“Don’t be angry; I’m really shocked.”
Wang Xiaoqiang’s eyes flickered slightly, “I heard your luck wasn’t good; you got caught in the crossfire.”
“Two people died, but I investigated and found that, aside from Wu Xun, the other three didn’t go to the supernatural event location.”
“And according to the survivors’ statements, Wu Xun called a young man ‘president’; that should be you.”
“But according to International Police Liu Yi’s intelligence, you stayed behind to delay the Fierce Ghost for her, so you should have died inside.”
“So when I heard your voice, I was very surprised.”
“How did you escape?”
Wang Xiaoqiang was really curious about this.
Clearly, according to Liu Yi, the opponent had no ability to escape the Ghost Domain.
“As long as you can hide, surviving isn’t hard.” Lin Qian said indifferently.
“You called today just to check if I’m still alive?”
Wang Xiaoqiang said, “Pretty much. I didn’t believe someone controlling two ghosts would die in an A-level supernatural event.”
“Facts prove I was right.”
“You said I got caught in the crossfire; you know the result of the supernatural event?”
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly; from that sentence, he guessed Wang Xiaoqiang might know how the supernatural event happened.
“Yeah, the investigation result is out. How to put it, your luck is really bad; you actually ran into this. Honestly, this supernatural event is very novel; it hasn’t appeared before.” Wang Xiaoqiang said slowly.
“Just say it.” Lin Qian exhaled.
“Don’t rush; listen slowly. This call today isn’t to gloat.” Wang Xiaoqiang smiled and said.
