Chapter 78: What Is A Top Ghost Controller
“So that’s how it is…” Zhang Qian glanced over and said no more.
It was just a fierce ghost following behind him, nothing surprising about that.
At least this Xu Zheng’s complexion looked pretty good; the degree of fierce ghost revival was much lower than Li Yan and the others.
“Zhao Jianguo said headquarters arranged a flight for us. If you have no other matters, let’s prepare to depart now.”
“Now?” Xu Zheng touched his stomach embarrassedly. “How about we grab a meal first? I rushed over in a hurry and haven’t had lunch yet.”
“There’s nothing much to eat near the airport. Better to eat on the plane.”
“Oh… alright then, let’s go.” Xu Zheng offered no further opinion.
But in his heart, he secretly complained. He felt that this Zhang Qian was quite indifferent and not easy to communicate with.
Zhang Qian had already pulled the gold suitcase and walked ahead. Only when he turned back did he notice Xu Zheng still standing there in a daze.
“What are you doing?”
“Coming, coming.”
There were still many pedestrians in the airport, not just tourists from various places but also business travelers.
The crowd bustled noisily, but wherever Zhang Qian and the others went, the people there would involuntarily shut their mouths.
Even without any other actions, the pedestrians on the road proactively cleared a path for them.
Only after they left did the tourists dare to whisper to each other.
“What just happened…”
“So cold…”
“I bet a hundred bucks that guy has definitely killed before…”
Ghost controllers had excellent hearing. Even though Xu Zheng didn’t want to listen, these sounds drilled into his ears like the buzzing of mosquitoes.
Fortunately, Xu Zheng was mostly used to it and didn’t show any unusual expression.
Zhang Qian naturally heard these sounds too, but he didn’t sense any fluctuations in supernatural aura.
“Your mentality is pretty good. Most ghost controllers I’ve met before weren’t as stable as you.”
“It’s alright. I used to get angry too, but gradually I got used to it.” Xu Zheng shook his head.
During the time he had controlled the ghost pushes person, the fierce ghost had taken away his walking ability.
Amid the eye-rolls and contempt from others, Xu Zheng had even countless times fantasized about using the fierce ghost to kill and then commit suicide for that thrill.
Fortunately, someone had pulled him back…
Compared to those sneers, this fearful gaze was undoubtedly much more bearable.
After passing security and following the guidance on the mobile phone for a distance, the figures around gradually thinned out.
Zhang Qian and Xu Zheng soon passed through the hall and arrived at a rather remote boarding gate.
“Mr. Zhang?” Staff were already waiting here. After confirming Zhang Qian’s identity, they respectfully handed over a briefcase. “This is the thing you asked us to bring.”
“Thanks.”
Zhang Qian didn’t avoid it and opened the box to inspect the goods right in front of the man in a suit.
The handgun made of gold gleamed brilliantly under the lights, with two magazines and some bullets placed beside it.
Entering the waiting room required security checks, so it was naturally inconvenient to carry guns and ammunition.
Although Zhang Qian himself had the authority, the thought of all the verifications made it troublesome, so he simply had headquarters deliver a gun here for him.
Once the two boarded the plane and sat down, the cabin door closed directly, and the engine roared with a noisy hum.
The scenery outside the window slowly receded. Only then did Xu Zheng react. “We’re taking a private plane?”
He hadn’t expected this kind of treatment on his first flight.
“Probably no seats on nearby flights. For headquarters, chartering a plane isn’t more trouble than clearing two seats. Plus, we’re going to resolve supernatural event, it’s official business. Headquarters has no reason to be stingy.” Zhang Qian said.
That said, he still glanced at the figure following by Xu Zheng’s side.
The figure was wrapped in a cloak, with no opening on the cloak’s face area, sealed instead by a piece of opaque black fabric.
Coupled with the cold aura it occasionally emitted, it really had the vibe of a terrifying fierce ghost.
Headquarters probably arranged the private plane considering this thing’s existence. After all, having ordinary people share a cabin with it would be way more stimulating than watching a horror movie.
Soon, prompted by the announcement, Zhang Qian switched his mobile phone to flight mode.
He looked at Xu Zheng and suddenly noticed that Xu Zheng’s face was pale, constantly swallowing saliva.
Airsick?
Not only that, but seemingly influenced by Xu Zheng, the fierce ghost by his side was also getting restless.
Because of emotional agitation, subconsciously wanting to use supernatural power to protect himself?
Although it was fine now, Zhang Qian couldn’t just ignore it. Otherwise, if supernatural power leaked later and corroded the cabin, that would be trouble.
“Xu Zheng, if you can’t control your fierce ghost, I can help you.” Zhang Qian’s eyes faintly glowed white, and ghost hand was already itching to act.
“Hm?” Xu Zheng struggled to endure the fear in his heart, only then noticing that ghost hair and ghost pushes person both showed signs of revival.
“Thanks for the trouble.”
He didn’t care what method Zhang Qian would use and just nodded with difficulty.
Zhang Qian unbuckled his seatbelt and walked into the aisle, reaching his right hand straight toward the black-robed figure.
This black robe couldn’t block the transmission of true qi. The moment his palm touched the fierce ghost, true qi surged directly into the fierce ghost’s body.
“Wait…” Xu Zheng’s reminder stuck in his throat.
He suddenly found he had lost control over the fierce ghost. That inexplicable connection seemed to have been severed by Zhang Qian’s grab.
Didn’t Professor Wang say the ghost controllers of these two ghosts were top-tier in the country? Then what was this guy’s situation?
“…”
So weak.
Zhang Qian was also somewhat surprised.
This supernatural strength felt even weaker than ghost mist.
It couldn’t even withstand ghost hand’s suppression. What a waste of this mysterious outfit.
Zhang Qian reluctantly withdrew the ghost mask that was poised to strike, holding the fierce ghost in one hand and dragging the gold suitcase with the other.
The custom suitcase was very large, big enough to hold a corpse with no problem.
But only after getting hands-on did Zhang Qian discover that this fierce ghost’s body was unexpectedly soft, like a balloon not fully inflated. After some kneading, it shrank to only a third of its original size and was easily stuffed into the suitcase.
“Your fierce ghost is pretty bouncy, nice texture.” Zhang Qian closed the suitcase, only then noticing some black threads connected to the outside of the suitcase.
Following those threads, the source turned out to be Xu Zheng’s head.
No way could he cut off his head and put it inside, right?
“Can you control it now? Don’t push yourself. Since we haven’t taken off yet, the plane can stop anytime to let you off.”
Although Zhang Qian could directly suppress the fierce ghost with true qi, he couldn’t keep guarding against Xu Zheng forever.
Headquarters sent him reinforcements, not a babysitter.
Compared to an unstable teammate, Zhang Qian preferred to act alone—at least no need to worry about a cold shot from beside him.
