Chapter 199: Cao Yanhua’s Opposition
On the third day after detaining Ye Zhen, the day the branch meeting was prepared to convene.
Dachun City.
In the study room of the Kunshan Villa.
“Brother Jiang, Headquarters just sent news that the originally prepared Captain Plan meeting and Branch Plan meeting, Headquarters plans to postpone the meeting, the specific time is not yet determined, the reason given by Headquarters is that preparations are not complete, but who in the Supernatural Circle doesn’t know what’s going on?”
Looking at Jiang Shan who was preparing information in the study room, Sun Yan sat leisurely on the sofa eating fruit, with a hint of disdain in her expression as she continued:
“Now domestically, any Ghost Wielder with some reputation, who doesn’t know that you, Jiang Shan, slaughtered the entire Circle of Friends, killed nearly four-tenths of Headquarters’ high-level officials, as well as all the core members of the Circle of Friends stationed at Headquarters, almost killing Headquarters to the point of a generational gap, so Headquarters had no choice but to postpone the meeting.”
The more she spoke, the more excited Sun Yan became, as if she thought of something, because of her Minister father’s status plus her own straightforward personality, so even in front of outsiders she didn’t hold back at all:
“This time that useless Minister at Headquarters is going to be busy, a bunch of ticks sucking blood from Headquarters, they should have died long ago.”
“When I went to Headquarters for training, I knew Headquarters was done for, except for the relevant grassroots staff who are quite dedicated, what kind of things are those Headquarters high-level officials?”
“I remember at that time around Dajing City, a Supernatural Event occurred, because some high-level officials’ children at Headquarters were involved in that Supernatural Event, someone actually privately dispatched the Dajing City Person in Charge to handle it, using the lives of two Dajing City Persons in Charge to rescue the high-level officials’ children.”
“Beasts who use power for personal gain, gotta say, Brother Jiang, your killings were too satisfying for me.”
Listening to Sun Yan’s words, Zhou Deng and Cao Yang, who came to report to Jiang Shan on the situation of Fierce Ghosts detained in Dachun City, remained silent.
In this team, who besides this woman whose beauty was breathtaking would dare to say such things?
Even Cao Yang, who had Cao Yanhua as his backer, knowing these things, wouldn’t discuss Headquarters so openly.
Because what Headquarters represents is not only the organization established by the country to handle Supernatural Events, but also the only force used by the upper levels to restrain Ghost Wielders.
In many people’s view, Headquarters isn’t as exaggerated as Cao Yang thinks, but thinking deeper.
A “madman” with supernatural great power, extremely destructive and threatening, how could the country not control it?
For those that have already formed a force, such as Supernatural Forum, Circle of Friends;
Or those that cannot be restrained, such as Jiang Shan, Headquarters can still compromise with them.
But for Ghost Wielders with antisocial personality, or those wanting to overthrow Headquarters, Headquarters has only one attitude toward them:
Kill.
This is also why Cao Yang wouldn’t say these words.
And this woman who doesn’t show mountains or reveal waters, but is extremely weird, he was very curious about what background she exactly has.
Is her strength very strong?
Or is her backer very solid, solid enough that she can speak these words without any scruples?
Glancing at Sun Yan sprawled on the sofa, Jiang Shan ignored her, he looked at Cao Yang and asked:
“So besides those five places, over ninety percent of the Fierce Ghosts that escaped from Ghost Rain have already been detained, and only three Ghost Wielders suffered casualties, right?”
Cao Yang nodded, directly ignoring Sun Yan’s words as he looked at Jiang Shan and replied:
“Brother Jiang, these two days Zhou Deng and I organized seven-person Ghost Wielder teams to respectively detain the Fierce Ghosts wandering in Dachun City, most ghosts’ Terror Level isn’t high, so casualties were very low, these ghosts give me a very strange feeling, it seems.”
At this point Cao Yang paused, somewhat hesitant to speak.
He had been a Ghost Wielder for about a year, during which he had handled many Supernatural Events one after another and seen quite a few terrifying Fierce Ghosts.
But these ghosts that escaped from Ghost Rain not only have simple Killing Patterns, but most are in Silent State.
These ghosts are just like they were carefully selected, specifically to create Ghost Wielders.
“I know what you want to say, the ghosts in Ghost Rain are indeed very special, you don’t need to pay attention to these, focus on blockading the five places I emphasized, some plans should be implemented.”
After speaking, Jiang Shan lit a cigarette, after looking at the suddenly lit mobile phone screen, he looked at the few people and said:
“Alright, all go prepare the information at hand, in a bit Cao Yang and Zhou Deng go help Cao Yanhua manage the Ghost Wielders who recently joined the branch, He Qiong go contact the Persons in Charge in various places, convene the branch meeting in one hour.”
“Good.”
“No problem.”
After the three left, Jiang Shan also went to change into a more formal set of clothes, before heading to An Hua Building he called Cao Yanhua.
“So that means Tong Qian has already lost contact with Headquarters inside Caesar Grand Hotel, normally speaking, at this time Yang Jian should have gotten off the Ghost Bus, but from the news from Headquarters, Yang Jian is also in a lost contact state.”
Jiang Shan looked at the date on the calendar, because the timeline in the Original Work itself is quite chaotic, so he could only judge the occurrence of various events through Yang Jian’s traces.
But now the ZS City Human Head Balloon event has already appeared, and Tong Qian was unsurprisingly killed by Newspaper Ghost, but Yang Jian has no news at all.
“Since Tong Qian is dead, then Newspaper Ghost has a high probability of being in Caesar Grand Hotel at this time, startling the snake or whatever doesn’t matter, I can’t hang myself on one tree.”
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan was already prepared to head to ZS City to find Newspaper Ghost after ending this meeting.
For this ghost that balances his supernatural the most importantly.
Even if Yang Xiaotian is very likely still controlling Newspaper Ghost in the form of memory; even if Newspaper Ghost has very likely deviated from the Original Work and is not in Caesar Grand Hotel at this time.
But for Jiang Shan, for such a crucially important ghost, he absolutely would not miss any opportunity to detain it.
An Hua Building.
“Jiang Shan.”
As soon as Jiang Shan got out of the car, Cao Yanhua who had been waiting at the main entrance of the building for a long time immediately came up to greet him.
Cao Yanhua’s expression at this time didn’t look good, through that tired face one could vaguely feel his worry.
It seemed that some things to be announced or implemented at the upcoming meeting, he wasn’t so approving, even having some opposition.
Walking up to Jiang Shan, Cao Yanhua immediately pulled out a report from the file bag in his hand, after handing that report to Jiang Shan, his face ugly as he said in a low voice:
“Jiang Shan, I have no objection to the newly formulated Management System, but I don’t agree with your plan to cultivate Ghost Wielders through human intervention, if the ‘Haunted House’ you mentioned in the plan book loses control, it will cause huge casualties and impact.”
Hearing Cao Yanhua’s opposition to him for the first time, Jiang Shan smiled slightly, he lit a cigarette, then looked at Cao Yanhua and said calmly:
“If it loses control there’s still me holding it, if I die there’s still Zhou Deng, Cao Yang, if the sky falls there will always be tall ones to hold it, but if we all die? Ghost Wielders born from chance coincidences, how many in number and ability can become a city’s, a country’s ‘sky’?”
“What I need are capable Ghost Wielders, not trash, there’s plenty of trash in this world.”
Looking at the silent Cao Yanhua, Jiang Shan didn’t say anything more, just silently walked toward the meeting room.
What he wants isn’t power;
Nor money;
But an organization that can deter the world, a force that can help him become a god.
