Chapter 103: The “god” Of The New Era
After hearing Jiang Shan’s conditions, Cao Yanhua fell silent for a moment before slowly saying:
“I can agree to the White Ghost Candle and International Criminal Police privileges, but Headquarters doesn’t have that many Red Ghost Candles right now. I can give you at most two.”
“Then add one White Ghost Candle.” Jiang Shan said.
Cao Yanhua looked at Jiang Shan’s calm expression and knew this White Ghost Candle had to be added, so he gritted his teeth and said painfully:
“Fine, but I require you to detain the Starving Ghost as soon as possible. Headquarters has already prepared the detention container. As soon as you successfully restrict the Starving Ghost, Headquarters will arrive immediately.”
“Since you’re saying that, you can have Headquarters’ helicopter take off now. Bring the Golden Coffin and prepare to enter Dachang City.”
“Ah?”
Jiang Shan’s words left Cao Yanhua baffled. Just as he was feeling doubtful in his heart.
The entire Dachang City suddenly shone with silver light.
The thick Green Haze, like black clouds, instantly dissipated, and the city, like an immortal holy land, reappeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Found it.”
Within the Ghost Domain covering thousands of square kilometers,
The silver light emitted by Jiang Shan’s Dead Face Ghost discovered the figure of the Starving Ghost in the direction of the north gate of Seventh Middle School Campus, inside the guard room.
Zhou Zheng, wearing the Robe, with a dark purple dead face, was at this moment sitting stiffly and rigidly on the chair in the guard room, motionless, like a corpse placed there. Moreover, his belly was still bulging, with something terrifying wriggling inside.
The moment the silver light fell on this Starving Ghost.
Its stiff body moved, its head turned mechanically, and its pupil-less eyes, eerie and emitting the unique ferocity of a Ghost Infant, looked toward Jiang Shan.
“It can sense me from so far away. As expected of the ghost with the strongest growth potential. Unfortunately, this Coffin Nail can’t be spared.” Jiang Shan calmly smoked, thinking with slight regret in his heart.
The first time the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain enveloped the Starving Ghost,
Jiang Shan had thought of using the Withered Finger plus Ghost Characters to substitute for the Coffin Nail to nail the Starving Ghost.
But after some consideration, he ultimately gave up on this idea.
Perhaps the suppression from the Ghost Characters could have some effect, but the Withered Finger’s ability had nothing to do with suppression.
This combination was more than enough to nail a Ghost Wielder,
But given the Starving Ghost’s current terror level,
Jiang Shan was worried that the Withered Finger would be like the Coffin Nail on the Starving Ghost that was stolen by Wang Chaling.
If the Withered Finger, carrying Ghost Characters and Ghost Blood, not only failed to nail the Starving Ghost but was instead devoured by it.
Once the Ghost Characters with prophecy ability were stolen of even a small part of their supernatural power by the Starving Ghost.
It would be equivalent to Yang Jian feeding the Human Skin Paper to the Ghost Child,
And the Starving Ghost’s growth speed would see a terrifying surge.
At that point, it might not even be possible to nail it.
Jiang Shan absolutely would not allow such an Unexpected Change to occur.
Although this Coffin Nail was very useful, if sparing it led to nurturing a Starving Ghost with precognition ability, the cost would be far too heavy.
Jiang Shan could not bear it.
The instant the silver light appeared, the rusty Coffin Nail in his pocket disappeared.
The next moment.
This Coffin Nail appeared on the forehead of this Starving Ghost.
It sank deeply inside, almost piercing through the entire head.
A sniper shot from nearly a hundred kilometers away, an attack that arrived almost instantly— the combat method combining modern weaponry and a Ghost Wielder.
Even with the Wishing Ghost’s assistance to restart time, this Starving Ghost was helpless.
Because it lacked that kind of reaction.
The ghost in the guard room now seemed to have lost all its weirdness, truly collapsing powerlessly to the ground like an ordinary corpse.
Dachang City’s haze was rapidly dissipating.
“Don’t just stand there. Call to detain the Starving Ghost. Remember to fulfill the conditions I proposed as soon as possible. I don’t like waiting.”
After Jiang Shan finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and then disappeared from Cao Yanhua’s sight.
Five seconds,
Merely five seconds from preparing to act.
The Starving Ghost Incident, defined as S-level, which even Headquarters’ elites couldn’t successfully detain despite all their efforts, endangering the safety of millions of citizens in Dachang City.
Solved by Jiang Shan while smoking and talking, in the time it takes to smoke two cigarettes?
For those who knew the terror of the Starving Ghost, this was no less shocking than the United States becoming socialist.
“Good!”
Cao Yanhua was still in shock and hadn’t recovered when, amid Zhao Jianguo’s reminding cough, he snapped awake and immediately said to the logistics personnel beside him, who also had dull eyes:
“Immediately organize special forces to transport the Golden Coffin to Seventh Middle School to detain the Starving Ghost. Notify relevant personnel right away to hold an emergency meeting!”
“Yes!”
In less than ten minutes, the temporary meeting room was packed with people.
“Was it Jiang Shan? He actually restricted that Source Ghost. Terrifying. The Starving Ghost Incident seems solved for now. The haze is disappearing, so we can send people into Dachang City.”
From the communication station came Wang Xiao Ming’s voice.
“Great, Minister. Give the order. I’ll take the repair team into Dachang City right now and restore water and power supply within eight hours.” A logistics person in charge said excitedly.
“Our medical and rescue personnel are also assembling. We can complete assembly within ten minutes. Please give the order, Minister.”
“The first batch of rescue supplies is ready to go by truck. As long as the roads are clear, supplies can reach Dachang City within half an hour.”
The heads of various departments in the meeting room, already prepared, spoke eagerly, but Cao Yanhua was not swept away by the crowd’s joy. Instead, he calmly made arrangements:
“Proceed with the plan. Zhao Jianguo, you take the special forces and the supporting Ghost Wielders into Dachang City first. Make sure to meet Professor Wang in the shortest time possible.”
“After confirming Dachang City is completely safe, the Headquarters person in charge will enter the city to quickly organize rescue operations.”
“Rest assured, Minister. We guarantee mission completion.” Everyone in the meeting room said in unison.
“Take action.”
The meeting room quickly emptied. Cao Yanhua sat in the chair, his mood at this time hard to describe.
The Starving Ghost Incident, watched by the whole world, had now been resolved. This was a great boon for Dachang City, for Headquarters, and even for the country.
But thinking of how Jiang Shan detained it so easily without even seeing the ghost.
For the first time,
Cao Yanhua felt such fear toward a Ghost Wielder’s strength. Even though he had seen many Ghost Wielders and knew they possessed unimaginable terror,
Jiang Shan’s performance had already exceeded the scope of “human.”
“If in ancient times, he would probably be called a ‘god.'”
Cao Yanhua, sitting in the main seat of the meeting, let out a long sigh.
First there was Ye Zhen of the supernatural forum who “occupied the mountain as king,” then Fang Shiming of the Circle of Friends who “seized the momentum.”
And now Yang Jian who appeared out of nowhere, as well as Jiang Shan who casually detained an S-level Fierce Ghost from a hundred miles away.
One “god,” two “kings,” one “hidden dragon.” Was the emergence of these people really a good thing for the country?
“Sigh”
