Chapter 228: Internal Strife
“Ye Zhen?”
Hearing Zhu Fan’s mumbling, the Ghost Controller who had been playing on his mobile phone also lifted his head.
Recalling that experience, he still felt some lingering fear: “That guy is indeed terrifyingly strong. I originally thought Fang Shiming was scary enough, but unexpectedly, Fang Shiming couldn’t even last one move against Ye Zhen.”
He happened to be in the hall when the various team captains were in a meeting, and he witnessed the entire process of the conflict between Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen.
Or rather, it couldn’t even be called a conflict anymore; it was purely Ye Zhen unilaterally crushing him. That guy was no longer on the same dimension as their strength.
“He is indeed frightening. Although only a portion of Ghost Controllers are gathered in Dadong City now, Ye Zhen’s punch has thoroughly established his position as number one.”
The short-haired Ghost Controller’s companion shrank his neck, touching his nearly bald hair with a face full of lingering fear.
That damned Fang Shiming deserved it too; the Ghost Wind flew past his scalp. If it had lasted a bit longer, those few hairs on his head probably really wouldn’t have been saved.
“After all, he’s a Ghost Controller who controls two Fierce Ghosts…”
The uniformed Ghost Controller nodded, extremely admiring Ye Zhen’s strength. “Although we don’t know what the first Fierce Ghost he controls is, just one ghost allowed him to thrive in the Supernatural Circle for so long. Now adding another one makes him even more formidable.”
In this era where everyone has one Fierce Ghost on average, Ye Zhen is undoubtedly first-class, even top-tier level.
It’s just unknown how someone like him, who doesn’t like to delve into research, figured out the pattern for controlling a second Fierce Ghost. Headquarters has only just succeeded in their experiments not long ago.
It’s possible that Ye Zhen got ahead of Headquarters…
Not necessarily. Maybe Ye Zhen just controlled his second Fierce Ghost recently. Otherwise, with his boisterous personality, he shouldn’t have waited until now to show his strength.
Perhaps Xu Zheng’s visit gave Ye Zhen inspiration? After all, there were no successful examples before that, so maybe Ye Zhen only made up his mind after that…
The uniformed Ghost Controller, knowing more inside information, silently thought about many things, but his expression showed no abnormalities, so the other Ghost Controllers didn’t pay much attention to him and instead felt some envy for Ye Zhen’s strength.
“They seem to be just a small team of four or five people, right? Yet their battle record is even higher than Fang Shiming’s eight-person group.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, after all, counting Xu Zheng, that small group essentially has two Two Ghosts Ghost Controllers. Fewer people but such strong combat power isn’t surprising.”
Although Xu Zheng has no famous battle records, and after controlling his second ghost, he hasn’t made a move in front of other Ghost Controllers.
But since Ye Zhen could knock Fang Shiming down with one punch, Xu Zheng, who is also a Two Ghosts Ghost Controller, shouldn’t be much worse.
Conservatively estimated, probably around the level of knocking Fang Shiming down with two punches?
Plus that grind king-like Feng Quan, with both experience and strength, solving Supernatural Events is probably as simple as drinking water for them.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to Ye Zhen’s matter, and the atmosphere in the meeting room also eased quite a bit.
But at this moment, another discordant voice appeared.
“I say, do we have a chance of controlling a second ghost?”
From the corner of the meeting room, the hooded Ghost Controller, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and asked.
The Ghost Controllers looked at each other, none of them intending to answer.
Of course there is a possibility, but it’s absolutely not high.
Moreover, they are all working their lives for Headquarters with similar thoughts in mind, but saying it out loud like this might not be great?
“There is definitely a chance; it mainly depends on whether the contribution is enough.” Zhu Fan glanced at the notebook in front of him, his mood relaxing a bit.
During the just-concluded conversation, two not-weak Ghost Controller teams had taken on tasks. If nothing unexpected happened, it shouldn’t take long to resolve these Supernatural Events.
Ruffling his messy hair, Zhu Fan continued: “With such a big incident this time, Headquarters definitely won’t be stingy. The rewards will likely include not only money, but even quotas for controlling a second ghost…”
“But quotas are limited, and field agents will be prioritized.” The hooded Ghost Controller coldly interrupted Xu Zheng’s words.
Headquarters has been tinkering for so long and only produced one Xu Zheng. If they really had the ability to let anyone control a second ghost casually, Xu Zheng wouldn’t be a unique case.
Either the method of controlling Fierce Ghosts is still unstable, or the price to pay is extremely high, but in either case…
The quotas for controlling are very few, and won’t reach “slacking off” Ghost Controllers like himself.
“Isn’t it pretty good to stay safe?”
One Ghost Controller casually put his legs on the table, showing no nervousness at all. “They fight tooth and nail outside and naturally get better rewards. It’s so safe here; we should be content with getting some contribution.”
His words sounded like he was trying to be a peacemaker, but his tone was strange, always making people feel like he was insinuating something.
After all, not only did the hooded Ghost Controller feel resentful; he himself was also indignant about this unfair arrangement.
They were all Ghost Controllers who rushed to Dadong City first; there were no cowardly ones. Compared to wasting time here, these people would rather go out and fight for more contribution.
After all, Ghost Controllers’ lives are as short as a few months, and the time left for these Ghost Controllers is already not much.
Everyone present was no fool and naturally understood his implication.
The uniformed Ghost Controller came back to his senses and didn’t indulge him, warning on the spot, “Yu Jiao, right? Since you didn’t object when the arrangements were made back then, obey properly now. If you have opinions, keep them to yourself; don’t speak to me in that sarcastic tone.”
“What? Want to fight me?” The Ghost Controller called Yu Jiao chuckled.
Although he was a big man, the voice coming from his throat was coquettish and charming, making the Ghost Controllers present feel a chill down their scalps.
If this guy didn’t rely on Supernatural Power to deal with Fierce Ghosts and just covered his face to be a streamer, he could probably make a fortune.
The Ghost Controller standing in front of the map raised his hands in surrender, feeling that if they kept arguing, these guys might really fight, so he decided to make an excuse to leave.
“Hiss—can’t take it anymore. You guys chat slowly; I’m going to see if Ding Yi fell into the pit.”
Everyone watched him leave without any intention of stopping him, only falling back into silence after the meeting room door closed.
“Heh, what an impatient guy. Clearly, unity is the most important thing right now.”
Xu Jiao played with her fingers, seemingly casually glancing at Zhu Fan sitting at the head seat. “Right, Captain?”
