Chapter 28: Controlling The Third Ghost!
Lin Qian did not speak, listening.
Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang explained the specific details of this Supernatural Event.
According to Headquarters’ investigation, that Fierce Ghost actually had a living person’s identity.
To be precise, the other party was a living person.
But after death, it turned into a ghost.
As for why it turned into a ghost, Headquarters does not know.
The Fierce Ghost’s identity before death was a rich man’s mistress in Jiang City.
That’s right, a shareholder of Black Eight Club, and the business she was in charge of was gold.
It was the shareholder who complained about official control of gold at the dinner.
“According to Headquarters’ speculation, that ghost was targeting your shareholder.”
Lin Qian’s eyes darkened, “So you’re saying, I really suffered an undeserved calamity?”
He did not care how the ghost turned into a living person.
Supernatural matters are always bizarre, impossible to know.
When Lin Qian heard this news, he felt somewhat depressed inside, but more than that, he felt fortunate.
What he was fortunate about was that he was not the source of this Supernatural Event.
He had always suspected before that it was because he possessed a Crashed Fierce Ghost that he was targeted by a ghost.
But now it seemed he had been overthinking it.
“Lin Qian, your current situation shouldn’t feel good, right.” Wang Xiaoqiang’s voice sounded.
“Surviving a Class-A Supernatural Event, the price you paid must be considerable.”
“Even if you control two ghosts.”
Through this Supernatural Event, Wang Xiaoqiang roughly estimated Lin Qian’s strength.
The other party controlled two ghosts, with bizarre abilities and very strong survival capabilities.
Strength probably able to easily handle Class-B Supernatural Events.
But encountering a Class-A Supernatural Event would be somewhat difficult.
Currently, after experiencing this Supernatural Event, the other party must have paid a considerable price.
A member of Black Eight Club died, and as president, he must not feel good; Fierce Ghost Revival is likely imminent.
“So what?”
Lin Qian’s gaze shifted slightly.
Was Wang Xiaoqiang planning to take advantage of his misfortune?
What could the other party offer to help him?
With his national treasure-level Big Brother, there was not even a stable result yet for research on controlling a third ghost.
Besides, although his Fierce Ghost Revival was imminent, he still had two months.
His potential danger had never been Fierce Ghost Revival, but the Fierce Ghosts attracted by Fierce Ghost Revival.
That Ghost Performer.
A Fierce Ghost that was absolutely Class-A or higher.
“Lin Qian, your Fierce Ghost is about to revive.” Wang Xiaoqiang said confidently.
Lin Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly, “What are you trying to say?”
“Lin Qian, no need to be so vigilant. You are a talent, and you know it yourself. Currently, Headquarters is investigating you. Black Eight Club has too few people, so it’s easy to find out the fact that you are still alive.”
“Headquarters’ impression of you is not good, of course, assuming you are still alive.”
“I saw the file on this Supernatural Event. Headquarters’ evaluation of you is that to survive, you resort to any means, selfish and self-serving, but because of your delaying action at the end, Headquarters has somewhat changed its view of you.”
“But you must understand, if you are still alive and Headquarters finds out, the matter of the survivor going mad and jumping into the river will definitely be linked to you.”
“Tell me, how would Headquarters view someone like you?”
“No need to think; the moment Headquarters knows you are alive, your delaying action at the end was completely setting up the International Police to be killed.”
“Believe me, Headquarters will absolutely think that way.”
“Moreover, you have already broken the law.”
Wang Xiaoqiang spoke at length, with reason and evidence.
Lin Qian felt somewhat solemn inside; this was definitely not Wang Xiaoqiang’s eloquence or intellect.
Was it his Big Brother?
No, his Big Brother was very busy; he had only controlled two ghosts, not worth the other’s attention.
But suddenly, Lin Qian thought of something: controlling two ghosts was a small matter to him, but not to Wang Xiao Ming.
There were folk Ghost Controllers who had controlled two ghosts.
But no one was as special as him.
Lin Qian knew that what he did in Black Eight Club could not be hidden.
From entering Black Eight Club to becoming president and controlling the second ghost, the whole process took less than a day.
If controlling the second ghost only took one day, Headquarters would not be so short of people.
Lin Qian realized how special he was to Wang Xiao Ming.
He also knew that Wang Xiaoqiang did not want him to join Headquarters, so he was deliberately scaring him.
He knew exactly what the situation at Headquarters was like now.
He had only resorted to any means to survive; that was not a big fault for Headquarters.
He had not done anything anti-human.
“So…” Lin Qian asked.
He wanted to hear what Wang Xiaoqiang planned.
“I like dealing with smart people. Lin Qian, to be straightforward, I have an opportunity here.”
“Opportunity? What opportunity?” Lin Qian was truly puzzled; what bullshit opportunity did you, Wang Xiaoqiang, have?
“In a while, I will have a mission here. Are you interested?”
“Don’t worry, the danger level is not high.”
“Sorry, not interested.”
As soon as he heard “mission,” Lin Qian knew Wang Xiaoqiang was up to no good.
“Don’t refuse in a hurry; you can first listen to the benefits of completing the mission.”
Wang Xiaoqiang’s tone was calm, as if he knew in advance that Lin Qian would refuse.
Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, seemingly a bit curious about the chips the other party offered.
But he did not speak, remaining silent.
Seeing Lin Qian not speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang naturally knew the other was waiting for him to continue.
“Your Fierce Ghost is about to revive. I have a channel here that can help you suppress Fierce Ghost Revival.”
“Or put it this way, I have a method of delaying Fierce Ghost Revival!”
After speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang quietly waited for Lin Qian’s response.
He was certain the other would not give that unsatisfactory answer again.
The other was about to die; what did a dying person need most?
Medicine, life-saving medicine!
And conveniently, he had it.
He did not believe Lin Qian would still refuse!
Hearing the reward Wang Xiaoqiang offered, Lin Qian sneered, “Wang Xiaoqiang, has no one told you that your pie-in-the-sky skills are poor?”
Da Chang City, Wang Xiaoqiang sitting on the sofa frowned.
Opposite him, a gloomy young man slowly raised his head, eyes narrowing slightly.
“You don’t believe it?”
Wang Xiaoqiang frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
“Heh, do you think I’m stupid?”
“The method you mentioned for suppressing Fierce Ghost Revival—not saying whether I need it or not—at least give me something I can believe.”
“Why should I believe empty words?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang’s expression softened considerably.
The other was tempted but not blindly believing like those desperate for medicine.
“I will provide something you can believe, but these are secrets, national secrets.”
“I can’t tell you now; only after you confirm accepting the mission and arrive in Da Chang City can I tell you.”
“If at that time you feel I’m deceiving you, you can just leave.”
Wang Xiaoqiang said casually.
Hearing this, Lin Qian’s heart stirred slightly.
“At this time, the mission where Wang Xiaoqiang can offer a method of delaying Fierce Ghost Revival must be Huang Gang Village.”
“Ghost Messenger!”
Lin Qian’s eyes sharpened; Ghost Messenger, absolute suppression, the ceiling for single-ghost Fierce Ghosts.
But unfortunately, in the original work, Yang Jian pulled a trick, Human Skin Paper gave the method, and Wang Xiao Ming let Wei Jing obtain part of Ghost Messenger’s supernatural power.
From then on, the number of Fierce Ghosts on Ghost Messenger no longer increased.
And Wei Jing leaped to become one of the headquarters team captains, with extremely terrifying individual strength.
With a series of operations, Ghost Messenger was directly crippled, and later, with help from a certain Old Antique, Wei Jing perfectly controlled Ghost Messenger, resetting the Killing Pattern.
But because of that, he missed the national war.
Otherwise, with Ghost Messenger’s terror, taking down a few kings would be effortless.
Lin Qian recalled the details of Huang Gang Village; some details were unclear, but he knew the general process.
Danger and opportunity coexist.
But given his current situation, being careful, there should basically be no danger.
If he went, as long as the plot did not go wrong, he had a probability of plundering Ghost Messenger’s supernatural power.
“Go or not?”
This was a mission with both risk and opportunity.
“Lin Qian, what is your decision?” Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
“I need to consider it; wait for my notice.”
After speaking, Lin Qian unhesitatingly hung up the phone.
Phone hung up, Wang Xiaoqiang’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Will he agree?” Opposite the sofa, the young man wrapped tightly head to toe spoke.
“He will. If he hadn’t experienced that Supernatural Event, he definitely wouldn’t take the risk, but he did experience it.”
“Even the person in charge of handling that Supernatural Event is about to undergo Fierce Ghost Revival because of the Source Ghost.”
“His strength is not as good as that person in charge; surviving was already very difficult for him.”
Wang Xiaoqiang spoke confidently, looking as if victory was in hand.
The young man thought for a moment and nodded, “Makes sense.”
Wang Xiaoqiang’s gaze was playful as he looked out the window.
Lin Qian looked up, his gaze falling on that ray of sunlight outside the window.
“Ghost Messenger…”
Lin Qian’s eyes shifted.
Suddenly, the room door was knocked on; Lin Qian’s pupils contracted sharply, instantly looking over.
Creak~!
The room door was pushed open; Yu Lin tremblingly pushed open the door, “P-President, there’s… someone looking for…”
Lin Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly, not looking at Yu Lin at all.
Instead, his line of sight was fixed on that woman behind Yu Lin.
The woman had long hair draped down, withered appearance, wearing an International Police uniform, casually holding a Golden Box in her hand.
Lin Qian glanced over, already knowing the purpose of her uninvited visit.
“President, she said she is International Police.” Yu Lin swallowed, speaking.
Lin Qian nodded, “Got it, you go out first.”
Hearing this, Yu Lin quickly exited the office.
And conveniently closed the door.
The woman did not care; she raised the Golden Box in her hand and tossed it directly to Lin Qian, “As agreed, the ghost is delivered to you.”
Lin Qian caught it, a bit surprised in his eyes, “Looks like my member helped you.”
Jiang Liuli stared at Lin Qian, “Are you sure it was a member who helped us, not you?”
Hearing this, Lin Qian’s expression was calm.
“Since the ghost is delivered, you can leave.” Lin Qian placed the box on the table, gently stroking it, starting to usher her out.
His losses, at this moment, were minimized.
But Jiang Liuli did not move, instead looking at the box Lin Qian placed on the table, “Aren’t you going to open it and check?”
Lin Qian’s hand paused, slowly raising his head, looking blankly at this withered woman.
This thing could be checked?
“Just kidding.” Jiang Liuli showed a smile, “Don’t mind.”
Lin Qian’s mouth twitched slightly, “This joke is not funny.”
Hearing this, Jiang Liuli waved her hand, “Don’t be so serious; it’s just a joke.”
Lin Qian did not speak, just staring at Jiang Liuli.
Jiang Liuli looked at the expressionless Lin Qian, shrugged, “I’ve delivered the thing, so I won’t stay.”
Saying that, she turned to open the door to leave, but the moment she stepped out the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Lin Qian:
“Lin Qian, you haven’t hidden well; Headquarters has its eyes on you, your trouble is coming.”
“Your impression in Headquarters is not good.”
Saying that, Jiang Liuli took out a business card and stuck it on the door handle, “I’m Jiang Liuli, shareholder of Circle of Friends. If you feel you’ve encountered trouble, you can contact me; we in Circle of Friends are very happy to help you solve trouble.”
“Think it over, lucky person who controlled two ghosts.”
After leaving these words, Jiang Liuli strode out of the room.
Lin Qian watched that heroic and valiant back, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
“I just experienced one Supernatural Event, and my underwear has been stripped clean?”
Lin Qian knew what he did could not go undiscovered, but he did not expect that just one Supernatural Event had him targeted.
Headquarters, Circle of Friends, Little Strong Club.
Two of them were smearing Headquarters.
Little Strong Club’s purpose was to have him help complete a mission; if completed, the other would definitely use the method of delaying Fierce Ghost Revival to keep him in the club.
Circle of Friends’ purpose was even simpler: they wanted him to join Circle of Friends.
And Headquarters…
Lin Qian’s gaze moved from the business card on the door handle to the Golden Box on the table.
As expected, this was Headquarters’ sincerity to him.
To be precise, sincerity to the president of Black Eight Club.
Headquarters probably already knew he was alive—not probably, they were certain he was alive.
“Even the secret of controlling two ghosts is known.”
“Did Wang Xiaoqiang reveal it?”
“No…”
Lin Qian shook his head; Wang Xiaoqiang would not reveal this news.
That could only mean inference.
Lin Qian exhaled, a chill enveloping him; he directly forced open the Golden Box.
Instantly, a corpse stench appeared; a bizarre Ghost Mouth appeared before his eyes.
As the box was opened, this Ghost Mouth immediately showed gloominess.
Visibly, this mouth moved, seeming to have a tendency to open.
The light in the room dimmed, the temperature turned gloomy, faintly, there was howling wind.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes, reaching out to grab this mouth.
In an instant.
Ghost Mouth disappeared.
On his face, a bizarre mask appeared; a pair of heterochromatic pupil-less eyes emerged from the mask.
And this was not all.
On the mask, besides two Ghost Eyes emerging, a ferocious sharp mouth also emerged.
“Perfect control. Sure enough, controlling ghosts with low terror level has a high probability of crashing.”
The mouth on the mask moved, spitting out eerie words.
Fierce Ghost control successful; at this moment, he controlled three ghosts, terror level reaching about Class-A.
Terror level improved; the two crashed ghosts inside suppressed the uncrashed Fierce Ghost.
Fierce Ghost Revival successfully delayed.
Mask disappeared.
Lin Qian sensed the situation inside himself, a subtle perfect balance.
But this terror level was still not as high as that Fierce Ghost.
Putting away the Golden Box—this thing was gold, good to keep as a container for ghosts.
However, it needed to be reforged.
The previous forced opening had deformed the box.
Lin Qian stood up, went to the window; one by one, they all wanted to pull him in.
But had they thought, if he was willing to be a dog, why would he be president here?
At this moment, Jiang Liuli, who had just walked out of the villa under the gaze of Yu Lin and the others, paused slightly.
She looked back; in the villa, that fleeting supernatural could not escape her perception.
She looked back but saw Lin Qian standing at the window, looking at her.
Jiang Liuli showed a smile, withdrew her gaze, but was somewhat puzzled inside.
Did the other really check it?
