Chapter 112: Setting Off For Dachun City
Jiang Shan gave Cao Yanhua a meaningful glance, and then the two chatted for a long time.
“Can I ask, why are you in such a hurry to go to Dachun City? Could it be that you already knew about the Minister’s daughter going missing?”
After the discussion ended, Cao Yanhua looked at Jiang Shan with some confusion and asked.
Jiang Shan took a drag on his cigarette and said: “Didn’t you say you wanted me to build a team? Just yesterday, a rather special Ghost Wielder invited me to Dachun City for a few days. The ghost he controls is very special, and if incorporated into the team, he would be a very important asset.”
“Oh? This Ghost Wielder has actually caught your eye, more important than Xiong Wenwen at Headquarters? If you want Xiong Wenwen to join the team, I can help you.” Cao Yanhua said.
“Different abilities, no comparison. As for Xiong Wenwen, I’m only interested in the ghost inside him. I have little tolerance for kids like him, so let him stay obediently at Headquarters.”
Jiang Shan recalled the description in the original work of Xiong Wenwen’s prophecy ability, and he always felt in his heart that the ghost inside Xiong Wenwen was a puzzle piece of the Ghost Characters.
The same prophecy ability, the same seek advantage and avoid harm.
Although the methods of prophecy differ, the results are the same.
Alive.
“Even if I found a reason to kill Xiong Wenwen, Headquarters wouldn’t say anything, but I can’t do that. At least a living person needs to have a bottom line. For a Ghost Wielder who has merit and no fault, I can’t kill him for this reason.”
“In the process of controlling fierce ghosts, I should remind myself: I am a person first, and then a Ghost Wielder seeking survival from death.”
When he found Xiong Wenwen in the Ghost Domain.
Jiang Shan’s heart had once stirred with killing intent, after all, the ghost inside Xiong Wenwen was extremely tempting to Ghost Wielders.
Ten minutes of future precognition,
This could greatly improve the survival rate of a person, or even a team.
And if he could control that ghost himself, the boost he would get would be enormous.
Although to establish authority Jiang Shan could kill Jiang Shangbai,
Because for such national parasites, he would feel no guilt no matter how many he killed.
But he was unwilling to kill Xiong Wenwen just to scheme for a puzzle piece of the Ghost Characters. If he did that, how would he differ from beasts that eat people when hungry?
“Then I understand. After the meeting ends, I’ll arrange a special plane for you. If there’s news, I’ll have Zhao Jianguo call you. I expect we can take off this afternoon. Handle the rest as you see fit.”
Cao Yanhua pondered for a moment, then continued:
“Since you plan to be this Branch Minister and won’t attend the meeting, when you get back, first come to me to sign something, then handle your own affairs.”
“Sure.” Jiang Shan said.
Looking at the man in front of him wearing a black custom suit, with a cold expression, Cao Yanhua felt a mix of emotions in his heart. He understood:
This world had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Ghost Wielders who transcended life and possessed personal great power would surely overthrow the old political system and world order.
They would build a new world on what might be “ruins” or a “withered tree” at Headquarters.
And for “old-timers” like him, the role they could play was negligible.
“Perhaps this is one reason why the high-level officials at Headquarters agreed to this plan. Us old guys really should retire gracefully. All we can do is choose the right person and make the right decisions before exiting the stage.” Cao Yanhua thought to himself.
When he proposed to Jiang Shan the idea of rescuing the Minister’s daughter, he had already let go in his heart.
Although as Vice Minister at Headquarters, he held power unimaginable to ordinary people.
But the true situation was clear only to him.
How Headquarters was truly established, and what forces stood behind it.
Once a supernatural event truly capable of annihilating Headquarters appeared, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the entire country and its hundreds of millions of people.
Rather than that, it was better to branch out and disperse power as early as possible.
Even if Headquarters falls,
Even if foreign tribes invade,
Even if the six dynasties matter becomes mere factional private schemes!
But as long as the country remains undivided and the nation survives, in the face of the supernatural and ghosts, this country will always have hope.
It’s just that Cao Yanhua didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.
And the first person to “dare to eat the crab” was actually this high school graduate kid right in front of him.
“Wish you success.”
With a flash of silver light,
The two figures disappeared.
After signing, Jiang Shan drove back to Guanjiang Residential Area.
“Chen Yue, go tell Sister-in-law to pack her things now. We’ll leave Dachang City at five this afternoon. We might never come back, so remember to bring all important items.”
As soon as he entered the building,
Jiang Shan saw Chen Yue ironing clothes in the living room. Seeing her hesitant expression, he continued:
“This time’s destination is Dachun City. It’s very cold there right now. Go buy some thick clothes later, then call this number. Many things will be handled for us. Don’t worry, go quickly.”
He handed a business card to Chen Yue, and Jiang Shan returned to his room.
He skillfully pushed open a hidden door, then opened the huge gold box in front of him and began inventorying the items inside:
3 Red Ghost Candles, 2 White Ghost Candles, rusty chain, White Cloth with a Crying Face, Ghost Comb.
These were all of Jiang Shan’s current possessions. He had also considered asking Cao Yanhua for supernatural items from Headquarters.
Whether it was that life-saving Music Box with its curse, or the Ghost Camera that could capture ghosts in photos.
These supernatural items could play a very key role in certain supernatural events.
But this intelligence from Headquarters was not something a civilian Ghost Wielder like him, who wasn’t even a Person in Charge, could know.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn’t make that request.
“The Ghost Mirror can be taken, but I still have an unfinished transaction with the Ghost Cabinet, and at this time Yang Jian hasn’t obtained the room number from Caesar Grand Hotel yet, so leave the Ghost Cabinet to Yang Jian for now.”
Regarding Yang Jian’s growth, Jiang Shan chose not to interfere as much as possible.
After all, even if the future Yang Jian didn’t become “Yang Jian,” he still possessed the ability to isolate supernatural events for an era.
Last time, Jiang Shan took the Ghost Rope. If Wang Xiao Ming hadn’t replaced it with a special ghost, Yang Jian wouldn’t have been able to control the Dead Machine’s headless Ghost Shadow.
So this time Jiang Shan left the Ghost Cabinet for Yang Jian.
If he really died in some supernatural event, as long as Yang Jian was around, this country would at least not be as chaotic as abroad.
No matter which world,
Jiang Shan always had a strong sense of belonging to this country.
The same customs and culture,
The same familiar homeland and society.
This was probably why he could integrate into this world so quickly.
At this time, Yang Jian was still in a meeting, but fortunately Jiang Shan had negotiated the Ghost Mirror transaction with him a few days ago.
With the arrival of a military car, he greeted Jiang Yan, then loaded the Ghost Mirror onto the car.
Three Provinces Minister,
Dachun City, he was coming.
