Chapter 249: Old Qin’s Operation
If it were someone else proposing this plan, Jiang Shan wouldn’t have too many doubts about it, after all, no one can understand the supernatural, not even the basics of it.
So even if any handling plan is proposed, he can understand it.
But the person who proposed this incredibly mad handling method,
is Wang Xiao Ming, who discovered the important ability of gold as an ordinary person and developed and produced ghost candles and a series of supernatural items.
Perhaps he in this world doesn’t have the demonic wisdom close to that of a fox spirit like in the original work.
But no matter what, Jiang Shan won’t believe that he hasn’t considered the terrifying existence of the ghost messenger, as well as the countless fierce ghosts detained under the headquarters base.
And those whose thoughts align with Jiang Shan’s are of course not just him alone.
None of the captains present will absolutely trust the headquarters’ decision, except for Li Jun.
Yang Jian, Liu San, and a series of civilian captains have grave expressions; Wang Chaling still has a calm demeanor as he stares at himself, while Ye Zhen gazes intently at Old Qin.
“So headquarters wants to use the ghost painting to detain the starving ghost, right? I oppose this plan.”
After observing everyone’s varied expressions and making his judgment, Jiang Shan unhesitatingly interrupted the discussion between Wang Xiao Ming and a certain ghost wielder in the meeting room:
“I want to know how many people in headquarters understand the ghost painting? Even among those present, few know its killing pattern and attack method, right? Just for killing two birds with one stone, headquarters proposes such a crazy handling method?”
“Once these two ghosts both lose control, have the people in charge at headquarters made preparations? Or are they waiting for us to clean up headquarters’ mess?”
Jiang Shan, who already has the qualification to stand on equal footing with headquarters, doesn’t need to worry about so-called face, nor does he need to rely on headquarters to survive.
He, who has earned his status with strength, is fully qualified to question everyone present.
Perhaps the captains who haven’t grown up yet don’t know what unexpected change this plan might cause.
But as an outsider, Jiang Shan naturally knows the crisis that might be hidden behind it.
If there is a chance to change the disaster, he, who knows part of the future, chooses to ignore it or even yield.
Then what meaning does his arrival have?
Becoming a God,
What kind of god would he become?
As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking.
The already solemn meeting room immediately fell silent.
“Then what good method do you have?” Wang Xiao Ming asked immediately.
“Dismemberment.”
Jiang Shan, who was smoking, looked at Wang Xiao Ming and replied without thinking:
“The current difficulty in detaining the starving ghost lies in the fact that it cannot be detained by gold and can only be detained using the characteristics of ghosts, with ghosts.”
“But using the ghost painting carries too great a risk. I’ve also investigated the ghost painting; its ghost domain is an independent supernatural space, and even my ghost domain cannot invade it.”
“Not only that, regardless of whether there are people in the ghost painting ghost domain, once there are fierce ghosts unintentionally detained inside it, that place will become a breeding ground for the starving ghost, and no one can guarantee whether it will grow to an uncontrollable level.”
Although Jiang Shan’s voice wasn’t loud, it resounded powerfully in the hearts of many people in the meeting room.
Perhaps worrying about the starving ghost losing control; perhaps worrying about issues with the ghost messenger; perhaps worrying that the action will fail from the start.
Although everyone’s thoughts differ slightly from Jiang Shan’s, to a greater or lesser extent, these words express the concerns in their hearts.
Immediately after, Jiang Shan continued: “Fierce ghosts with dismemberment ability aren’t hard to find. I remember that back in Dachang City, Yang Jian once tried to dismember the starving ghost, but the outcome was obvious—he failed.”
“And the fundamental reason for the dismemberment failure is the failure in the confrontation between supernatural forces. The current starving ghost cannot yet be immune to all supernatural attacks; as long as sufficient suppression can be applied to it, dismemberment can succeed.”
“A good idea. This handling method has high feasibility and can even be called the optimal solution.” Wang Xiao Ming suddenly spoke up in praise.
“This method does have feasibility. Jiang Shan, I know what you’re thinking. Because the key action to detain the starving ghost needs to be kept confidential, I cannot reveal too much to everyone present.”
“But I can assure you all that Old Qin will take action in this operation and be responsible for the key detention action, ensuring that neither the starving ghost nor the ghost painting incident will lose control and affect Dajing City.”
Sun Huafeng, as the minister, seemed to have prepared for Jiang Shan’s questions long ago and immediately gave a response after Jiang Shan finished speaking.
Hearing this clearly pre-prepared explanation, Jiang Shan didn’t rush to reply but instead glanced at Old Qin not far away.
He found that Old Qin was also looking at him at the moment.
After their gazes met, this innate anomaly, the old man nearly a hundred years old, showed a kind smile and nodded slightly at him.
That gentle gaze put Jiang Shan’s mind at ease. Since it’s confirmed that Old Qin will participate in the upcoming action, he doesn’t need to consider so much anymore.
Old Qin’s strength is beyond doubt.
Even now, Jiang Shan doesn’t dare to guarantee that his own strength can reach sixty percent of his.
If he hasn’t guessed wrong,
The method headquarters uses to detain the starving ghost should be almost identical to the way Old Qin handled the ghost painting in the original work.
In the original work, Old Qin was able to detain the ghost painting inside the Ping An Hotel, and now he has also restricted the starving ghost to a certain hotel.
This shows that Old Qin controls at least one restriction-type fierce ghost.
And this is the basis of Jiang Shan’s guess. If Sun Huafeng hadn’t mentioned Old Qin’s participation, he would never accept Wang Xiao Ming’s plan no matter what.
After all, the failure of detaining the ghost messenger with the ghost painting in the original work is still fresh in memory, let alone that this time it’s the starving ghost that can infinitely grow.
The main person in charge of this operation appears to be Wang Xiao Ming, but in reality, it’s Old Qin.
So even if Wang Xiao Ming really has issues, Jiang Shan can safely cooperate with the headquarters’ action.
Although headquarters may not necessarily be able to invite him, with this safety net, everything is assured at least.
Can’t trust this group of captains,
But can’t he trust Old Qin?
Soon, the meeting’s plan was roughly discussed.
Jiang Shan’s proposal is temporarily shelved. The ghost painting plan proposed by Wang Xiao Ming and executed by Old Qin together with the people in charge has been activated for now, but it’s just one of the options.
And Sun Huafeng was very satisfied after hearing Jiang Shan’s proposal, because even as a backup, this handling method is good, so there won’t be a situation where they can’t cope after problems arise.
Because of the severity of this incident, the specific implementation method of the plan was quickly decided after discussions among the ghost wielders at the meeting, as well as joint deliberations by the headquarters think tank and the captains on details and processes.
