Chapter 166: Termination Method
After Shen Bao’s “life-stealing act” was accomplished, the “Ghost Town in the Rain” Supernatural Event could basically be declared over.
But Jiang Shan did not want to let it go easily. If he stopped here, Shen Bao might rebirth on any person in Dachun City at any time.
How could this world defend against a thief for a thousand days?
So Jiang Shan wanted to see if he could find a breakthrough on Sun Yan, after all, she was the one who understood Shen Bao and Ghost Rain the most.
“It seems my thinking is correct. Shen Bao’s rebirth method is similar to ‘Body Seizure’ in the Cultivation World. He swaps his consciousness with someone else’s to achieve rebirth.” Jiang Shan analyzed calmly.
This world has no absolutely unsolvable Supernatural Events. Even Yang Jian’s Becoming a God in the future has certain flaws if carefully considered.
“Hmm? There seems to be something under Sun Yan’s body.”
Sitting in the gazebo smoking, Jiang Shan’s hand suddenly had an extra piece of paper. This was paper from his desk. It seemed Sun Yan wrote it and wanted to leave, but for some reason fell into a coma.
The paper read:
“Jiang Shan, if you see this paper and I’m in a coma, then my guess is correct. Although Ghost Rain has gone dormant, it has entered the sewer through rainwater and is continuously affecting Dachun City in unseen places, so its Ghost Domain will always exist.”
Seeing his own thoughts align with Sun Yan’s, Jiang Shan continued reading:
“Shen Bao stripped my consciousness through his backup in Ghost Rain. My current consciousness should be in the Ghost Rain Ghost Domain’s Supernatural Space. He controlled ‘Intent Ghost’ and has the initiative for rebirth. To make him rebirth passively, Ghost Rain needs to resurrect.”
“As long as his rebirth body can be found and his actions restricted without letting him die, Shen Bao will never be able to rebirth. This Supernatural Event can also be resolved more appropriately, and the scattered Supernatural h.”
Sun Yan’s message stopped abruptly here.
After reading, Jiang Shan’s eyes turned cold. He took a drag of his cigarette and pondered in place.
“Sun Yan’s meaning is simple: as long as Ghost Rain resurrects, Shen Bao will be forced to rebirth and appear in the Present World. Then find him and control him without letting him die, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling the Supernatural Hazard.”
This method seems very simple, but how many people in reality can achieve it?
As far as Jiang Shan knew, only people in Dachun City were contaminated by Ghost Rain’s Supernatural, but when he used Ghost Domain to disperse Ghost Rain’s Supernatural, he knew not only Dachun City but also many places in nearby cities had not escaped disaster.
He just wasn’t clear on the exact scope.
“Cao Yanhua”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shan called Cao Yanhua. He told him all the current status of Ghost Rain. At this time, there was no need to worry about Headquarters’ accountability and choose to conceal it.
Not only because no one could handle this Codename “Ghost Town in the Rain” Supernatural Event, but also because Jiang Shan’s current strength was enough to subvert Headquarters.
Who would dare hold him accountable?
Accountable for what?
From any perspective, Jiang Shan was a Meritorious Official in this Action. Anyone who dared to accuse him would have to weigh if they had the status and ability.
At this moment,
Inside the temporary command post in Dachun City.
“This damn old beast! This is the lives of millions of people, how dare he!”
As Jiang Shan’s voice kept coming from the phone, when Cao Yanhua heard that detaining Ghost Rain’s main body would cause all ordinary people contaminated by Ghost Rain to die, he didn’t care about losing composure and cursed loudly in front of a group of leaders.
This was the lives of millions of people, yet in that old thing from the Republic of China, they were just tools for his resurrection.
How could Cao Yanhua not be angry at this beast who had annihilated his humanity?
“‘Ghost Town in the Rain’ event can be reported as resolved. Prepare for follow-up handling work.” Jiang Shan on the other end of the phone continued:
“I’m sending you a picture with marked locations. Have Dachun City’s Ghost Wielders stay away from these four places. The ghosts there are not for them to touch. Notify all intelligence personnel to stay on standby.”
“Good, I’ll do it now.”
Hearing that last sentence, Cao Yanhua immediately understood Jiang Shan wanted to do something more, so his most important task now was to ensure logistical stability.
And at this moment, the high-level leaders present who also heard Jiang Shan’s intelligence all fell silent, heads down and speechless.
Among these people were inspection Committee Members dispatched by Headquarters and special talents from Headquarters brought by Cao Yanhua.
But after Jiang Shan assigned the mission to Cao Yanhua, none of these high-level leaders spoke up with handling methods, because they knew:
They weren’t qualified!
For this earth-shattering event concerning the lives of over ten million people, they had no right to decide and no courage to propose ideas.
About five minutes passed, and Cao Yanhua hurriedly returned to the Meeting Room. As soon as he came back, the deathly stillness atmosphere was broken by the sudden sound:
“After these arrangements are settled, Cao Yanhua, now go tally the entire scope affected by Ghost Rain and send it to me, detailed to streets and Residential Areas.” Jiang Shan’s calm voice came from the Satellite Phone.
“I’ve already had people tally it, Jiang Shan. I’m sending it to you now.” Cao Yanhua immediately replied.
This efficient and autonomous handling ability satisfied Jiang Shan greatly. A Logistics Department that keeps information and intelligence updated at hand could save a lot of time.
Cao Yanhua’s ability and responsibility were worth his trust.
“Such a large affected scope? It seems there are few margins for error, or even no possibility of error.”
Looking at the extremely detailed geological map sent by Cao Yanhua on his Mobile Phone, Jiang Shan frowned tightly.
A full over 90,000 square kilometers in scope. If truly following Sun Yan’s method, did he have the ability to do it?
Which option was ultimately more appropriate?
He began weighing the pros and cons. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided:
“No matter what, I must try. As long as Shen Bao is not dead, my heart will not be at ease.”
After all, Jiang Shan had indirectly at first, and directly later, thwarted Shen Bao’s scheme to control Ghost Rain.
Although Shen Bao said he accepted this loss, Jiang Shan would never believe it.
After all, such deep hatred was even greater than killing parents or cutting off one’s wealth.
“Cao Yanhua, create another File after the ‘Ghost Town in the Rain’ File.” Jiang Shan said.
“Hmm? Good! I’ll go write it personally now!”
Hearing this, Cao Yanhua knew Jiang Shan was preparing to take Action, which meant Jiang Shan had thought of a way to handle this unsolvable Supernatural Event!
Only hearing Cao Yanhua’s somewhat excited voice asking:
“The File has been created, Jiang Shan. Hello?”
