Chapter 243: Ghost Image Shen Lin
Because this temporary meeting was specially convened by Headquarters for Ghost Wielders of the level of Captain and Minister, the massive Headquarters rest base was empty.
This instead gave Jiang Shan more than ten minutes of leisure.
But soon,
the appearance of a staff member, who began leading the way for him, indicated that the meeting was about to begin.
The location of the meeting was inside an air-raid base at Headquarters.
This was a base hollowed out from a mountain, with nothing inside the entire base except a huge round table and dozens of chairs.
There were no security guards inside, no communication equipment, not even some staff; everything was kept simple.
After walking through an extremely long air-raid passage and pushing open the special iron door in front of him, Jiang Shan discovered that the meeting was almost about to start, with quite a few people already seated at the huge conference table before him.
However, not everyone was very concerned about this meeting.
Someone was lying on the table, yawning while playing with a paper frog.
Someone had their feet on the table, leaning back in a chair sleeping.
Someone was propping their head, curiously looking around.
“Jiang Shan is here?”
Jiang Shan’s arrival attracted the gazes of many people. Not to mention that he had handled two S-level supernatural events, his reputation in the supernatural circle was exaggeratedly large, and just based on the video circulating in the supernatural circle, his strength and identity were enough to make many people shudder.
Becoming a top-tier Ghost Wielder in merely half a year;
Branch Minister managing dozens of Ghost Wielders;
The madman who massacred the high-level officials behind the circle of friends;
World’s Number One Ghost Wielder.
All these titles made Jiang Shan not only a star in the supernatural circle, but his deeds and actions were also a “legend” in the hearts of countless Ghost Wielders.
Completely ignoring everyone’s gazes, Jiang Shan walked toward a seat with an indifferent expression.
There was a nameplate on the table in front of every chair, with each person’s name written on it.
The seats were obviously pre-assigned, not randomly chosen.
Jiang Shan’s position was next to Liu San. This arrangement seemed to consider that they had cooperated before; back then, when Jiang Shan disappeared in the Ghost Town in the Rain incident, it was the branch led by Liu San that went to provide support.
“Liu San, Li Jun, Captain Li Leping indeed hasn’t arrived yet. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen is already here. What reason did Sun Yan’s dad use to get him to come?”
After nodding to Liu San, Jiang Shan, sitting in his chair, scanned the room.
He discovered that the huge round table only had eight Ghost Wielders seated, and among these eight, there were those who weren’t Captains, such as Headquarters’ person in charge A Hong, a woman with a weird makeup on her face.
Just from the color of the makeup on the woman’s face, Jiang Shan could judge her identity, because this makeup was too unique, just like the pigment used for funeral makeup after a person’s death; one glance would make people feel uncomfortable.
And even though he hadn’t seen A Hong’s file, he recognized her at a glance.
“Jiang Shan! You’re finally here. It wasn’t in vain that I waited bitterly for you for days, enduring countless people’s white eyes and mockery. Today, I will avenge the humiliation of that day!”
Ye Zhen, who had been lying on the table sleeping, didn’t know if he was pushed awake or sensed something, but within a few minutes of Jiang Shan sitting down, he woke up.
The next second after seeing Jiang Shan,
Ye Zhen suddenly stood up, pointed at Jiang Shan, and continued:
“In that battle that day, I was convinced in heart and mouth, but remember, a true stronger will never fall into confusion because of past failure. Today, I will take away your title as World’s Number One Ghost Wielder and wash away my past disgrace!”
With that said,
Before Ye Zhen could even stand up fully, there was a loud bang.
Amid the shocked gazes of everyone, Ye Zhen, who had just stood up, disappeared from his spot, and their gazes shifted backward.
A black-gold long whip exuding an eerie aura pierced right through Ye Zhen’s abdomen, nailing him dead to the wall behind, and none of the people present reacted to any of this.
“This weapon is very new. Did Jiang Shan make it himself with a ghost? It’s truly terrifying.”
“A supernatural weapon with its own Ghost Domain? And this weapon’s Ghost Domain is not simple.”
Seeing Ye Zhen, who was nailed to the wall and unconscious, many people present had already noticed the Ghost Wood Ghost Domain enveloping Ye Zhen.
This wasn’t because the Captains could detect the Ghost Domain with a single glance; they didn’t have that ability yet.
It was just that the characteristics of the Ghost Domain enveloping Ye Zhen were too obvious.
The sapling that appeared out of thin air on the wall, and the tiny leaves growing on Ye Zhen’s clothes, were as if there was a surge of vitality wanting to burst forth around him.
But that chilling unease that pierced straight to the soul let everyone present know that what filled the area around Ye Zhen wasn’t vitality, but an extremely terrifying Ghost Domain!
A Ghost Domain in a single weapon that surpassed ninety percent of Ghost Wielders in the world?
Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, everyone present couldn’t help but feel shock.
“Jiang Shan, the meeting starts in ten minutes.” After glancing at his watch to confirm the time, Li Jun looked gravely at Jiang Shan and said.
“Mm.”
Knowing this was Li Jun indirectly reminding him, Jiang Shan gave no response. For someone like Ye Zhen, who troubled him the most, his approach was always just one:
Beat to death;
Beat unconscious;
Make them shut up.
Because of Jiang Shan’s silence, the matter of Ye Zhen being nailed to the wall was thus dropped.
After all, Jiang Shan’s fierce reputation was backed by solid achievements.
No one wanted to find trouble for themselves; even Li Jun, representing Headquarters, remained silent, knowing he had no ability to be the peacemaker.
Because he couldn’t suppress Jiang Shan.
Even if he brought out Headquarters, he couldn’t change anything; that was the huge gap in strength.
Time passed bit by bit.
Almost everyone attending the meeting had arrived, though the last person’s manner of arrival was somewhat special.
At a certain moment while everyone was waiting.
A memory not belonging to them suddenly floated into their minds.
In the memory, it seemed they had been to this place before, also sitting inside this base.
But the base in the memory wasn’t as complete yet, still messy, with renovation staff nearby, and they were gathered here waiting for the meeting just like today, except the only difference was that the gathering in the memory had one more person.
A person named Shen Lin, who in the memory was sitting in the chair next to Jiang Shan.
But unlike the others, Shen Lin who appeared in Jiang Shan’s past memory disappeared in an instant, as if his appearance was just an illusion.
But the real situation was,
Shen Lin’s supernatural failed to successfully invade Jiang Shan’s past; he lost, not even managing it for an instant.
“Ghost Shadow Shen Lin.”
Jiang Shan, who no longer had that segment of memory, had already etched this name in his heart. Under his indifferent gaze,
A man dressed in casual clothes with a somewhat shocked expression appeared out of thin air before his eyes.
