Chapter 248: The Worst Possible Plan
“Resurrection of the dead?”
“That’s right, it’s the resurrection just as you imagine.”
Looking at the astonished gazes of everyone, Wang Xiao Ming suddenly spoke in an extremely flat tone about the terrifying supernatural that subverted life, death, and reincarnation.
After confirming with Sun Huafeng’s gaze, he pressed a certain switch in his hand, and immediately the projector hanging on the wall began switching screens:
“Last night, Headquarters, together with Old Qin, took action against the Starving Ghost, but the result was not satisfactory. Now it cannot be detained by the gold container, so Headquarters only restricted this ghost’s range of action. But to completely handle this ghost, some special measures still need to be taken.”
“So, does that mean this ghost is now under Headquarters’ control? Then what’s the purpose of holding this meeting? Just to make us guard against Zhao’s matter?” The speaker was Li Leping, the one whose appearance couldn’t be remembered, sitting next to Yang Jian:
“It’s not that simple, right? If I guessed correctly, last night’s action at Headquarters mostly relied on this old gentleman. According to what you said, this ghost can no longer be detained through the normal process, so the purpose of Headquarters calling us here should be to have us use one ghost to restrict it, and then thoroughly solve this hidden danger?”
Huh?
Everyone looked at Li Leping again upon hearing this.
Then a strange thought appeared in their minds.
Who is this person?
A bit familiar, but not recognized.
No specific appearance formed in their minds, making it impossible to identify his identity. So when he spoke, everyone first felt some doubt in their hearts, but then when they saw the nameplate in front of his table, they were slightly startled.
So he is that ghost wielder whose appearance can’t be remembered, Li Leping?
Looking closely, this person was indeed very ordinary. Even if he weren’t a ghost wielder, he would absolutely be the easiest to forget if thrown on the street.
And Li Leping’s analysis was extremely precise.
“What you said is very correct.”
At this moment, Wang Xiao Ming expressionlessly praised him: “The Coffin Nail’s restriction ability on the Starving Ghost has disappeared. Regarding the exact extent of the Starving Ghost’s growth, that was only discovered last night after I came into contact with this supernatural event, but by that time, it was often already too late.”
“The current Starving Ghost has undergone some terrifying change with the Coffin Nail. Everyone also knows the specialty of that Coffin Nail—it can nail any fierce ghost. Now that the Starving Ghost has some characteristics of the Coffin Nail, it means that most supernatural means have already failed against it.”
Wang Xiao Ming looked at Jiang Shan as he said this, then continued: “So, to solve the Starving Ghost, we must find a way to crack the supernatural of the Coffin Nail.”
“Professor Wang, are you serious? This ghost can already bear some supernatural powers without solution?”
“How do you play this? A ghost unaffected by supernatural influence, and can’t even be detained with gold—this thing is already this terrifying?”
“From the information, it seems so. If given a bit more time, this thing could completely destroy a country’s population. Even ghost wielders can’t stop it. We’re not even on the same level as this thing.”
Now the information on the Starving Ghost had been completely disclosed, and emotions of fear and unease were already spreading across the meeting table.
Although there were only twelve captains present, there were more than twenty candidates qualified for captain nomination.
Even though most candidates could remain calm, a small portion had already lost their composure.
Unable to detain;
Immune to supernatural power;
With these two conditions in place, it was enough to slaughter a group of ghost wielders. This was still under the premise of knowing the pattern. If unaware, there really wouldn’t be any chance at all—not even knowing the reason for one’s death.
“Only a ghost can counter a ghost, so to detain the Starving Ghost, a special ghost needs to be found. Use its ghost domain to suppress the Starving Ghost’s ghost domain, thereby restricting its range of activity to the minimum—small enough to fit into a box.”
“Now the Starving Ghost has already been restricted by Old Qin to a hotel. We just need to guide it along the way. If it fails, the impact won’t be big—at least that thing will be solved by the Starving Ghost. If it succeeds, then the Starving Ghost can be solved.”
“Currently, that ghost’s killing pattern should already be restricted. Although still very dangerous, it’s at least much easier to deal with than the Starving Ghost.” Wang Xiao Ming said slowly.
“A collision between two S-level supernatural events has a high probability of solving one.”
Hearing this, Liu San was slightly startled: “No way, you want to lure that ghost to Dajing City?”
He knew Wang Xiao Ming’s intention.
Lure the ghost from that previous S-level supernatural event to Dajing City, use that ghost’s ghost domain to suppress the Starving Ghost, then solve the Starving Ghost.
If it fails.
That S-level ghost would at least be taken out by the Starving Ghost, which would similarly count as solving a major event. Moreover, that ghost’s killing pattern would affect the Starving Ghost to a certain extent.
At least ensuring the Starving Ghost wouldn’t be like in Dachang City,
eating whatever it sees.
“Isn’t this the same plan as solving the Ghost Messenger in the original work? Since the Starving Ghost has been restricted by Old Qin, it means it hasn’t completely swallowed the Coffin Nail and gained the ability to be immune to supernatural characteristics.”
“Logically speaking, the Starving Ghost hasn’t reached an unsolvable level yet. There should be better ways to handle detaining it. Why does Wang Xiao Ming want to use the Ghost Painting to solve it?”
While everyone in the meeting room was continuously discussing because of Wang Xiao Ming’s proposal, Jiang Shan, sitting in his chair smoking, now had his brows tightly furrowed.
He didn’t think using the Ghost Painting to solve the Starving Ghost was the best handling method.
In the original work, the collision between the Ghost Messenger and the Ghost Painting nearly caused the Ghost Painting to completely lose control, and now it’s unknown if the Ghost Messenger even exists.
Zhao Jianguo, who had raised the Starving Ghost—would he not leave a backup plan at the Ghost Messenger?
If saying there isn’t,
Jiang Shan absolutely wouldn’t believe it.
And if once the Starving Ghost and the Ghost Painting produced some unforeseeable unexpected change, plus the out-of-control Ghost Messenger.
Three S-level fierce ghosts appearing together in Dajing City—what kind of disaster would erupt?
“Wang Xiao Ming absolutely wouldn’t fail to think of this, so it seems he also has issues?”
Jiang Shan glanced at Wang Xiao Ming who was discussing, and his gaze involuntarily became grave.
He had always been an extreme persecution delusion patient. Rather than calling it a mental illness, it was more that the despair brought by this world forced him to become so extremely vigilant.
Now he couldn’t trust anyone.
Not to mention Headquarters people like Sun Huafeng and Wang Xiao Ming who might have issues—even Old Qin, who was selfless for the country, Jiang Shan wouldn’t completely trust.
And Wang Xiao Ming, who was just an ordinary person, could completely have his memory altered by the supernatural recording controlled by Zhao Jianguo.
This was entirely possible.
If it’s true,
then everyone present now, including Old Qin, are toys in Zhao Jianguo’s hands.
