Chapter 180: Purging Headquarters
“This voice. You’re not Fang Shiming! Are you Jiang Shan?!”
At this moment, Li Yao, who was making a phone call in a corner of the banquet, shouted in terror. She was indeed very smart, and the instant she heard Jiang Shan’s voice, she figured everything out.
“Fang Shiming is actually dead? What a joke! No, I have to leave here quickly, I absolutely cannot let Jiang Shan find me!”
Li Yao frantically hung up the phone. She immediately made a decision and prepared to leave.
But even though she was far from the crowd, her surprised shout was still heard by some people.
A man with a grim expression walked quickly from not far away. He blocked Li Yao, who was in a panic, and loudly questioned:
“What did you say? Jiang Shan called you using Fang Shiming’s phone?!”
The man spoke very loudly. At this moment, he no longer cared about his identity as the son of a high-ranking official, nor about rules or upbringing. All he wanted to know now was:
Is Fang Shiming really dead?
“Ah! What?!”
“This damned woman still says Fang Shiming isn’t dead, these useless people in the circle of friends! Damn it, damn it!”
As soon as the man’s questioning of Li Yao was heard, the originally anxious banquet instantly erupted. Dozens of people surrounded Li Yao, their faces filled with anger and fear as they said:
“Go! Everyone go quickly! Jiang Shan won’t be able to come for a while. When he arrives in Dajing City, we might still have a chance if we show sincerity and apologize in person. As for that slut, control her, and let Jiang Shan deal with her then!”
Amidst the noisy and chaotic crowd, a middle-aged man with a square face and wearing a Zhongshan suit spoke in a low voice.
His name was Chen Ming. He was the highest-ranking headquarters official supporting the circle of friends’ actions. The current situation was like a basin of cold water instantly extinguishing the flame of ambition in his heart.
He now only wanted to protect himself and extricate himself from this incident as much as possible.
As for Fang Shiming’s life or death, and this woman who had just slept with him, Chen Ming felt no concern.
“Right! We are all high-level officials at headquarters. As long as we offer enough benefits, Jiang Shan won’t dare to do anything to us. This woman is the PR for the circle of friends, we can’t let her escape!”
After hearing Chen Ming’s words, before Li Yao could say anything, the people present acted as if they had seen a life-saving straw. Their burning gazes filled Li Yao with immense fear.
She was arrogant, and only for high-ranking officials would she offer her body for PR.
But now, the gazes of those who had seemed decent just moments ago, now like wolves and tigers ready to devour her alive, made her entire body turn cold, and she was too scared to speak.
Suddenly,
everyone present felt a strange chill surge into their hearts. The fear that originated from their souls made them begin to feel uneasy.
It wasn’t just ordinary people who felt this terror. At this moment, Gao Ming, who was serving as the captain of security in a building, suddenly felt a great shock.
“Ghost Domain!? This supernatural degree, this Ghost Domain is definitely not from a Ghost Wielder, this must be the Ghost Domain of a ghost! Which ghost has appeared in Dajing City!”
Gao Ming’s heart was pounding wildly. This Ghost Domain he saw had no boundaries, extending beyond his line of sight. All he knew was that there was a faint silver light and silence before him.
“Is it a Ghost Domain? A supernatural event, or a Ghost Wielder?”
“A Ghost Wielder? Impossible! No Ghost Wielder can possess such a terrifying Ghost Domain, but the color of this Ghost Domain. It’s from the direction of the suburbs, no doubt, it’s that Jiang Shan who made a move!”
“What is Jiang Shan doing in Dajing City? Is it because of the circle of friends? I really didn’t expect him to have such courage. It’s a pity that killing these people from the circle of friends won’t change the corruption of headquarters, alas.”
These Ghost Wielders were all from headquarters. They quickly communicated with each other on their satellite positioning mobile phones. After confirming the situation, their expressions varied, but not a single one made a rash move.
The title of the World’s Number One Ghost Wielder, Ghost Face Jiang Shan, was too great. Even the Ghost Wielders who had some connection with the circle of friends chose to remain silent.
Now, everyone who knew the inside story was extremely curious about what Jiang Shan was going to do.
And what reaction would headquarters have?
“Old Qin…”
Within the coverage of the Ghost Domain, Jiang Shan had already seen many Ghost Wielders notice him, but the one whose gaze concerned him the most was that old man’s.
This was the first time Jiang Shan had attempted to lighten the color of his Ghost Domain. Although he could shroud Dachun City, or even Dachang City, without restraint.
But this was Dajing City, the headquarters’ base, the largest city in the country. He had to give headquarters some face and not let the supernatural event become public.
However, even though Jiang Shan had made the Ghost Domain’s color as light as possible, its terror level remained the same. All ordinary people covered by the Ghost Domain felt an inexplicable panic in their hearts.
At this moment, if Jiang Shan wished, he could easily erase a person, making them disappear without a trace.
“Li Yao, are all the people here? Answer me, and I will give you a swift death.”
In the backyard of a villa in Dajing City, as the people present were preparing to tie up Li Yao, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
This voice carried no emotion, as if a ghost were whispering softly.
“Who are you? Get lost!”
“He knows Li Yao? It seems he’s also from the circle of friends. Arrest him too!”
Because Jiang Shan’s appearance was unknown, so even though they had seen his videos, they didn’t know his true appearance. Thus, when they saw this pale-faced, deathly-looking young man appear out of nowhere and scold them without hesitation.
The current noisy voices made Jiang Shan’s expression turn icy. He scanned everyone present and said coldly:
“Shut up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people surrounding Li Yao fell down in swathes like cut wheat, without any wounds, without any changes. They simply seemed to have died suddenly, eerily and terrifyingly!
“You—you are Jiang Shan?”
Seeing the corpses of the people on the ground, Chen Ming’s pupils dilated. He said with a trembling voice.
“Jiang Shan, there are still some people who haven’t arrived. I have their addresses on my mobile phone!”
Suddenly, Li Yao shouted with all her might, and as they watched, she pulled out her mobile phone and ran frantically in front of Jiang Shan, her finger continuously swiping. Her voice was choked with tears:
“Jiang Shan… no, Minister Jiang, look, I have the files of all the members who joined the Circle of Friends on my mobile phone. Don’t kill me, I can be your secretary, you can do anything you want to me, please don’t kill me!”
Jiang Shan didn’t answer anyone. He just quietly looked at Li Yao’s despairing and fearful eyes, his heart without any ripple:
“In the next life.”
As soon as the words fell,
Blood-red Ghost Characters, like Yama’s death-knell, appeared out of thin air at the same time all over Dajing City, on countless people.
When greedy desires engulf a lifetime, death comes in a mere instant.
From then on,
The Circle of Friends was uprooted and completely annihilated.
Gratitude to my brothers for their support, gratitude for everyone’s Monthly Tickets!!!
Kneeling and thanking all my benefactors!
