Chapter 268: The Human World As Prison
Looking at that suddenly appeared huge valley, along with the changed nearby terrain, everyone who saw it all intuitively couldn’t accept it for a moment, because it was simply too shocking.
It must be known that this was not an illusion created by a Ghost Domain, but real.
“Is this… is this still human?” After a moment of silence, someone couldn’t help but exclaim.
This scene was really hard for people to accept.
Shocking?
No, it was more unbelievable.
A Ghost Wielder could actually achieve this step; this was unprecedented.
Even among the persons in charge present, some had seen the video leaked from the Supernatural Circle of Jiang Shan using Ghost Domain to create a viewing stand in Dachang City, but now seeing this scene in reality.
Only then did they feel what terror really was.
Ignoring everyone’s gazes, after handling the Ghost Messenger, Jiang Shan immediately called Cao Yanhua:
“Old Cao, I’ve restricted the Ghost Messenger; it won’t cause major problems in the short term.”
The current Headquarters not only couldn’t provide help to any person in charge, but might also take advantage of many people being uninformed to pit and kill them.
Precisely because of this, Jiang Shan needed to know exactly what the situation in Dajing City was now; when rushing to the Training Base using Ghost Domain, he had already discovered:
Dajing City had completely fallen.
The current Dajing City was even worse than Dachun City after solving the Ghost Town in the Rain back then.
It was originally a warm winter season, but the current Dajing City felt like the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the entire city like soaked in Corpse Water.
Slowly drowning in decay and despair.
“Headquarters has cut off signals to all communication equipment; not only that, the authority of branches and captains has also been blocked, and now the branches can’t control satellites either.”
Cao Yanhua’s solemn voice came from the other end of the phone:
“That means we know nothing about all the current intelligence from Headquarters, but I’ve already had people send you the satellite map from before the authority was blocked.”
“In a moment, I’ll inform the captains and persons in charge now in Dajing City of the intelligence. Should I have Cao Yang and Zhou Deng form teams with Ghost Wielders from the branch to head to Dajing City and assist you in stabilizing the Headquarters situation?”
Without thinking, Jiang Shan immediately said: “Yes, but have Zhou Deng bring seventy percent of the persons in charge; that’s enough. I’m worried this attack might not be limited to just inside Dajing City.”
“I understand. After hanging up, I’ll immediately send people to notify various cities to investigate possible Supernatural Events in the cities and ensure domestic situation stability as much as possible.”
Hearing some words Jiang Shan hesitated to say, Cao Yanhua, as the former Headquarters Vice Minister, instantly understood the implication.
After all, Supernatural Influence on ordinary people’s consciousness only takes a few seconds.
And Zhao Jianguo had exceeded everyone’s expectations, infiltrating Headquarters completely.
So if he just wanted domestic chaos, how could he not leave contingencies in various places domestically?
“Mm, that’s it for now; action must be fast.”
Jiang Shan glanced at the satellite map on his mobile phone and replied in a solemn tone.
The current situation was worse than he imagined because Supernatural Power could interfere with electronic instrument detection, so most ghosts couldn’t be shown on the satellite map.
Only a blurry Dark Shadow could be seen on the map.
Yet such Dark Shadows,
On the real-time map half an hour ago when the Ghost Messenger lost control, there were one hundred seventy-two!
That is to say,
Almost all the Fierce Ghosts detained in the Headquarters Base had been released!
Such a number of Ghost Tide made even Jiang Shan feel his scalp tingle, let alone the despair the other persons in charge would feel seeing this map.
And facing this situation,
If he chose to escape, Jiang Shan could guarantee his own safety in the short term ahead.
After all, the Ghost Messenger had been successfully restricted by him; the Starving Ghost and Ghost Painting would also be handled properly by Old Qin. Even if Hundred Ghosts slaughtered Dajing City, it had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, Old Qin was still alive; this crisis might soon be resolved.
Although he didn’t know what price Old Qin would pay, although he didn’t know if Old Qin could really do it, Jiang Shan didn’t dare to place the future of the country and his own life on one person.
If Old Qin really had the ability to solve it all, then everything would be fine.
But if Old Qin couldn’t handle it, then the Supernatural Circle would not only face the destruction of Headquarters for handling Supernatural Events, but also the paralysis of the national political center.
And the complete loss of control of the three S-level Fierce Ghosts: Ghost Messenger, Starving Ghost, and Ghost Painting!
“Rest for half an hour. During this time, everyone contact the Ghost Wielders and persons in charge you know in Dajing City, and have them converge on Headquarters First Base as much as possible.”
Looking at the fatigued crowd, Jiang Shan knew their current condition was already poor, but the situation now didn’t allow them to stop.
Relying solely on this makeshift team of Ghost Wielders couldn’t accomplish anything; now he had to coordinate all surviving Ghost Wielders in Dajing City.
Handling Supernatural Events mostly depends not on how strong your ability is, but on whether you can make the right decisions.
Sometimes one wrong step is death; no matter how capable you are, you can’t make up for it, because no matter how strong your ability, you can’t withstand endless Supernatural Attacks.
Gathering sand into a tower, holding firewood to make fire.
Perhaps only this way could cut off the rotten “cyst” with one knife, giving the “body” a chance to survive.
To prevent most Ghost Wielders from despairing and fleeing after learning the current situation, Cao Yanhua only informed the captains and some trusted persons in charge of the intelligence.
This could also be considered another way of forcing them onto the shelf.
No choice.
Once Dajing City fell, it would mean the entire domestic scene, even all of Asia, had lost its leader, plus Fierce Ghosts like Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost with Infinite Growth.
By then,
It wouldn’t just be dozens of Ghost Wielders dying so simply.
But millions, even tens of millions of lives.
The morning sun shone down, and on an open space in the base, the few surviving, unaware Ghost Wielders were all slumped on the ground, their faces showing the joy of surviving the catastrophe.
Although the Ghost Messenger hadn’t been completely resolved yet, at least for the current stage, this was the best; at least the losses had been stopped, and that Ghost Domain of the Ghost Messenger seemed to be under control. At least since the ghost returned to the Experimental Base interior, there had been no other movements.
“Hm? Why can’t I reach Li Feng?”
“Same here; can’t reach He Jia. He would never not answer my call normally; feels off.”
Although the crowd didn’t know why Jiang Shan asked them to do that, those who unconditionally trusted Jiang Shan still complied, but they soon discovered the Weirdness.
Many couldn’t get through to their friends’ phones, and some people’s satellite phones were even in no-signal state.
“Never thought the situation would turn out like this.” After seeing the dense black dots on the mobile phone map, Liu San felt drained and sat on the ground like the others.
Despite bathing in the warm sunlight, he felt no warmth anywhere on his body, instead an inexplicable chill.
Only because the current Dajing City—Hundred Ghosts in the Present World, the human world like a prison.
