Chapter 169: Imprison People To Suppress Ghosts, Become King And Change The Heavens
As the surrounding silver light dissipated, the people who had originally disappeared from the meeting room reappeared in Cao Yanhua’s eyes. The only one missing was Shen Bao, whose whole body was covered in ghost characters.
“Minister Jiang!”
The moment they suddenly saw Jiang Shan, everyone was full of shock. After coming back to their senses, most people stood up one after another to greet him, but only a few ghost wielders looked grim and did not speak.
However, Jiang Shan did not pay much attention to this scene. After waving for everyone to sit down, he spoke:
“For this supernatural event codenamed ‘Ghost Town in the Rain’, I have already detained the source ghost. This event can basically be declared solved.”
“Great! All residents of Dachun City are safe!（ My family is safe too!）”
“Headquarters’ decision to appoint Jiang Shan as minister was right. He actually solved another S-grade supernatural event!”
As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, the high-level leaders in the meeting room showed joy on their faces, with exclamations and praises coming one after another.
This was not because these high-positioned leaders could not hide their joy, but because the impact of this event was really too significant.
Because some political teams who came with Cao Yanhua were tied to Jiang Shan’s fortunes—prosperity together, damage together. They abandoned their original status to invest in Jiang Shan, valuing his ability to solve supernatural events.
The higher the value Jiang Shan demonstrated, the greater the geometric growth in benefits they would receive.
As for some local officials in Da Lin Province, their lives and fortunes were all in Jiang Shan’s hands. How could they not be excited and delighted to hear that he had solved this supernatural event?
Looking at the crowd waiting eagerly, Jiang Shan, at the center of attention, did not speak but silently lit a cigarette. Under Cao Yanhua’s indication, he sat in the chairperson’s seat of the meeting.
“Liu San, where can I go to successfully control a ghost with a ghost domain? Do you think Wang Xiao Ming’s lab would work?”
“Gotta say, Jiang Shan’s ghost domain is really cool.”
Jiang Shan had just sat down, not even halfway through his cigarette, when he heard a man’s voice coming from outside the tent. He calmly looked toward the door.
He did not know about the headquarters support, but when the ghost domain covered Dachun City, he had discovered a group of incoming ghost wielders.
And that Liu San with the paper figure body had caught his attention.
Headquarters Captain,
Paper Person Liu San.
Jiang Shan was very interested in Liu San himself and his abilities.
Shortly after that voice spoke,
The door opened.
The man who pushed the door in was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, looking very young but giving off a sharpness that did not match his age, appearing extremely arrogant.
Zhou Deng was obviously stunned for a moment when he pushed open the door and saw that the chairperson was not Cao Yanhua. Then he suddenly thought of something.
Zhou Deng, who had been full of vigor, seemed to suddenly suffer an attack from a fierce ghost. His whole person instantly became listless with death qi, eerily creepy as if about to undergo fierce ghost revival.
Zhou Deng’s current state did not look like a person, but like a ghost!
“？!”
The people in the meeting room were quite startled by this unexpected change. They glanced at Jiang Shan with their peripheral vision and saw no change in his expression, so they tried to pretend to be calm.
“Minister Jiang, you applied for support from headquarters, but we didn’t even get a single ghost candle when we arrived. Liu San and I detained a total of four ghosts! Look, I’m about to undergo fierce ghost revival. Give your brother some comfort and compensation.”
Zhou Deng’s hoarse voice carried a hint of desolation. The strong sense of incongruity made everyone frown, and even Liu San beside him unconsciously moved a few steps to the side.
Nothing else,
Too embarrassing.
“Compensation? The branch doesn’t have anything good to give you right now. How about this: I heard you want to control a ghost with a ghost domain, and I happen to have one in stock. But you need to do a little work for me.” Jiang Shan calmly smoked and said.
When he saw the human skin mask hidden in that man’s collar, Jiang Shan recognized his identity.
Zhou Deng.
“What work?” Zhou Deng asked doubtfully.
“There are at least more than forty ghosts still wandering in Dachun City right now. I won’t ask for much—just detain five ghosts, and I’ll help you control a dead machine fierce ghost with a ghost domain. What do you think?”
“Some people here should know the information about Yang Jian controlling his second ghost. I call that state of the ghost ‘dead machine.’ It’s not just him—if someone can detain three ghosts in Dachun City and choose to join the branch, I will unconditionally help them control a dead machine fierce ghost.”
Jiang Shan’s words exploded like thunder in everyone’s mind in the meeting room.
“Dead machine fierce ghost?!”
Not only Zhou Deng and Liu San, these ghost wielders looked at Jiang Shan in shock—even Cao Yanhua’s face showed some incredulity.
“Helping a ghost wielder control a ghost without risk—how is that possible?!” Some who knew the inside story of Yang Jian controlling the headless ghost shadow felt a storm surge in their hearts.
Who did not know what the biggest problem facing ghost wielders was?
Fierce ghost revival!
Ghost wielders who controlled one ghost, or even two ghosts, mostly had only one year of lifespan left, some even less.
Everyone knew that controlling a second ghost could delay death, but how easy was it to control a second ghost?
Even headquarters only had a 20-30% success rate in helping ghost wielders control a second ghost, let alone civilian ghost wielders.
And Jiang Shan’s words were no less than stirring up a frenzy!
A frenzy capable of changing the world pattern!
“Jiang Shan.”
Cao Yanhua looked at the calm-faced Jiang Shan, not knowing what to say. He had never known that Jiang Shan had such an ability.
“Minister Jiang! I’ll take this job! But if I join the branch, this detaining ghosts…”
Upon hearing Jiang Shan’s words, Zhou Deng’s eyes widened. After thinking for a few seconds, he immediately replied as if afraid someone would snatch it from him, but he paused deliberately halfway through.
And of course Jiang Shan knew what his pause meant, so he looked at Zhou Deng and said:
“Fine.”
For Zhou Deng, Jiang Shan was relatively at ease, whether in terms of ability or character.
Just from his willingness to sacrifice at Zhang Dong’s old house in the original work, he was worth recruiting and cultivating.
After all, a teammate worth entrusting in a supernatural event was worth a thousand gold!
Looking at the restless crowd, Jiang Shan knew it was time to implement the plan he had envisioned. He suddenly sharpened his gaze toward everyone and said coldly and slowly:
“I allow all of you to record this and send it to various supernatural platforms. Moreover, I not only allow it but strongly support it.”
“Now, as the branch minister, I invite all ghost wielders in the supernatural circle: as long as you contact the branch and successfully detain any ghost in the three provinces under my management, regardless of background or past, you can apply to join the branch as a city person in charge.”
“I, Jiang Shan, make this promise here: for those who make major contributions, I will unconditionally help you control a dead machine fierce ghost. As long as you are a registered person in charge of the branch and bear the branch’s responsibilities, you will receive permanent protection from the branch.”
After the words fell, the huge meeting room was pin-drop silent. Everyone present knew the profound meaning and weight behind these words.
Jiang Shan was going to expand his forces!
Big changes are coming.
