Chapter 245: Whereabouts Of The Coffin Nail
“What kind of joke is this? Isn’t the Starving Ghost detained? How was it released? What exactly is Headquarters doing?” Guo Fan, who had participated in the Starving Ghost Incident and gained captain nomination qualifications, heard Wang Xiao Ming’s words, and his face became extremely gloomy.
The fear of being dominated by the Starving Ghost in Dachang City back then still lingered in his heart to this day.
Infinite Devour Ghost,
Infinite Growth,
If this terrifying Fierce Ghost is not handled, it could even grow to the point of destroying the country.
But now, Headquarters is personally telling him,
Someone is using a ghost to nurture it?!
Not just Guo Fan, many people present had ugly expressions on their faces, and they couldn’t help but doubt Headquarters’ capabilities.
Even though the persons in charge present were either captains or had controlled two Fierce Ghosts, captain nomination candidates, this didn’t mean everyone had no opinions about Headquarters.
And at this moment,
The intelligence already confirmed by Headquarters was like a heavy hammer, striking hard on everyone’s heart.
After hearing that everything that happened last night had been verified, Jiang Shan narrowed his eyes and didn’t rush to express any opinions.
He wanted to hear how Wang Xiao Ming planned to handle this matter.
Compared to the Ghost Wielders’ concerns,
The crisis Headquarters was facing right now was the greatest.
Since Wang Xiao Ming dared to inform all the captains and Ghost Wielders with captain nominations of this intelligence, it largely indicated that they already had a solution.
“Quiet down.”
Sun Huafeng patted the table at this moment: “I know this incident will bring unimaginable disaster, which is why we need to discuss it. Moreover, the Starving Ghost Incident cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if left unchecked, the consequences will be devastating.”
“Today, our country’s top Ghost Wielders are all here. If even we can’t handle it, then it means the Supernatural Events are completely out of control.”
“Headquarters already has a specific method to resolve the Starving Ghost Incident. Headquarters will bear the full cost of the action. I only hope that everyone can contribute some strength for this country.”
He believed that the Ghost Wielders attending the meeting today all had some secrets, more or less. Although they usually hid them deeply, now, Headquarters had to apply some pressure to make them reveal them.
Without resolving the Starving Ghost, many things would be meaningless.
Because a evil ghost with unlimited growth ability, once given enough time to grow, would be enough to overthrow the country, destroy families, and even shatter the world.
Therefore, handling the Starving Ghost Incident was the top priority.
Even Zhao Jianguo’s subsequent actions in Dajing City and other possible Supernatural Events could be temporarily halted.
Silence, oppression.
Everyone was silent.
Because they could feel Headquarters’ determination. If this incident wasn’t resolved, no one would have it easy.
Minister Sun was using courtesy before force.
“Headquarters has some method, and I temporarily don’t care how the Starving Ghost escaped. But there’s one thing I must say: as far as I know, the Starving Ghost was stolen by someone, right? So now, what is the state of the Starving Ghost being nurtured by Zhao? Where did the Coffin Nail that nailed it go?”
“If that Coffin Nail is still at Headquarters, I’m willing to lead the team personally. As soon as I find traces of the Starving Ghost, I will immediately Nail the Starving Ghost with the Coffin Nail and resolve this incident.”
“But if the Coffin Nail is not at Headquarters, I refuse all subsequent actions. I don’t need to explain why, right?”
The one who broke the silence was Wang Chaling. Having already been tricked once, he used this opportunity to probe Headquarters.
Until now, he still couldn’t figure it out:
How did the Starving Ghost get lost?
Could it really be that Zhao Jianguo stole the Starving Ghost from his hands?
Also, where did that Coffin Nail that nailed the Starving Ghost go?
“Coffin Nail”
Wang Chaling’s words drew the attention of many people.
Although Headquarters had not yet revealed the specific solution.
But Wang Chaling’s words indeed reminded many people of that video circulating in the Supernatural Circle.
That is, Jiang Shan’s Seal Gods battle, where he instantly nailed the Starving Ghost with the Coffin Nail, the entire process.
Even later, with more and more revelations in the Supernatural Circle, Jiang Shan’s strength was witnessed by the Ghost Wielders.
Yes,
Jiang Shan is indeed strong.
But in Dachang City, the reason he could detain the Starving Ghost was still that Coffin Nail, right?
So even with Jiang Shan’s halo, regarding that pitch-black rusted Coffin Nail, its terrifying ability was still discovered and dreaded by most Ghost Wielders.
After all, as long as they were nailed by that thing, they knew that even with ten lives, they would die thoroughly.
Precisely because of this, Wang Chaling’s words stirred a trace of unease in the hearts of many present.
Headquarters having a way to detain the Starving Ghost might be true,
But the ownership of the Coffin Nail was very important.
If it was in Headquarters’ hands, then everything was fine.
But if this great killer weapon was not at Headquarters, but in the hands of the person behind nurturing the Starving Ghost, then they needed to consider it.
Although some people were willing to sacrifice, such people were ultimately a minority among Ghost Wielders.
Otherwise, in the Original Work, there wouldn’t be so many captains unwilling to attend Headquarters’ meetings.
“The loss of the Starving Ghost was completely an accident. As early as two months ago, a Ghost Wielder stole the Starving Ghost, and only last night did Headquarters confirm that the ghost lurking in Ping An Hotel was the Starving Ghost,” Sun Huafeng hesitated for a moment, then continued gravely:
“So the Coffin Nail is not at Headquarters, and its whereabouts are still unknown.”
“But this doesn’t affect this action. According to Old Qin’s investigation, that Coffin Nail should still be inside the Starving Ghost’s body.”
After Sun Huafeng finished speaking, his gaze turned to Old Qin beside him.
And this action of his also drew the attention of most people present.
“He’s also a Ghost Wielder?”
“A Ghost Wielder who’s lived this long? No way, he must have controlled some special ghost.”
While everyone was curious about Old Qin’s identity and discussing the Coffin Nail, a cold voice suddenly rang out:
“Wang Chaling, I didn’t expect you actually dared to attend this meeting. I have to admit, you really have guts. If I remember correctly, the Starving Ghost seems to have been stolen by your grandmother, right?”
Looking at Wang Chaling opposite him, dressed in a casual suit and radiant, Jiang Shan looked at him expressionlessly, then lit a cigarette and continued:
“Let me guess why you were so quick to bring up the Coffin Nail. What, didn’t keep an eye on the Starving Ghost? Afraid someone might accidentally nail you?”
When he had just entered the base, Jiang Shan had already noticed Wang Chaling.
Although he hadn’t confirmed at the time that everything happening in Ping An Hotel stemmed from the Starving Ghost.
But now that he knew the general situation, he found Wang Chaling’s behavior of being the first to challenge Headquarters laughable.
Stole it himself, then lost it.
Now he’s playing the thief crying thief, being the first to attack Headquarters.
It really fit that saying:
“Only the person who frames you knows how wronged you are.”
