Chapter 35: Lin Qian’s Guessed Ghost
Da Jiang City, City Center Building.
Li Yong had just returned not long ago when the news came.
“Boss, something’s off about this.”
The middle-aged man handed several photos to Li Yong.
“I can tell.”
Li Yong took the photos, and the content on them was two corpses, uh…
“This person should still be alive, right? Why take a photo? Is he a survivor?”
The middle-aged man looked at the photo Li Yong was pointing to upon hearing this.
“No, he’s the manager of the hotel where it happened, scared into shock.”
“He fell into a state of apparent death. Because the two survivors were judged dead on the spot, they only did a simple check on this person and also judged him dead.”
“By the time they got to the hospital, the forensic doctor came over right away, first dissected the two survivors’ corpses, and after the dissection, planned to dissect his.”
“Then, he woke up…”
“This photo was taken right before the dissection.”
“Talk about luck. If he hadn’t woken up, after the forensic doctor finished dissecting, they would have found his cause of death was death by dissection.”
Li Yong: …
Cause of death, death by dissection, such a niche term.
Li Yong shook his head, not paying attention to this both unlucky and lucky guy.
He stared at the deceased in the photos, two women.
Skin bluish-black, covered with livor mortis, expressions of terror and despair on their faces.
It seemed like they saw something extremely terrifying before they died.
The photos slid.
“All internal organs completely rotted, rotten flesh and corpse water accumulated.”
“It’s a supernatural event. The deceased’s death state is similar to the one who died this morning. The only difference is the face skin wasn’t peeled off.”
Looking at the gutted corpses in the photos, Li Yong continued viewing them, and soon, his pupils slightly contracted.
“Since when do forensic doctors have the habit of peeling off people’s face skin?”
Li Yong pointed at the corpse in the photo whose face skin had disappeared, looking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man shook his head, “Not peeled by the forensic doctor, the face skin rotted and disappeared on its own.”
“Rotted and disappeared on its own?”
Li Yong’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Yeah, during the dissection, the two deceased’s face skins started rotting weirdly. In the blink of an eye, the face skins turned into a pool of rotten corpse water.”
“Seeing this, the forensic doctor didn’t dare continue the dissection, hastily ended the work, and reported this matter up.”
Hearing this, Li Yong exhaled, putting down the photos.
“Basically confirmed, it’s the same supernatural event.”
“Da Jiang City really is a feng shui treasure land. Just finished an A-level supernatural event a couple days ago, and now another supernatural event appears.”
“Specifically targeting survivors who lived through a supernatural event.”
Once, it could be said the survivors were unlucky, but twice, that’s not luck.
Rather, the ghost has targeted them.
“How’s the gathering of survivors going?”
Li Yong turned back and asked.
“After two more survivors died, the police immediately sped up the gathering. Now they’re all gathered.”
“Now those survivors are all arranged in a hotel.”
The middle-aged man said.
Li Yong’s eyes flickered, “Hotel, interesting. This Captain Zhao really is something else, actually arranging survivors in a hotel.”
“Planning to recreate the scene?”
The middle-aged man twitched at the corner of his eye upon hearing this. Thinking carefully, it really was like that.
These survivors had just escaped death from a hotel not long ago. How many days had passed?
And now arranging them back in a hotel.
“How many of our people have come in?” Li Yong didn’t pay attention to Captain Zhao’s antics and asked the middle-aged man.
“Three, already placed by me.”
“Three…” Li Yong’s gaze flickered, “Send them to the survivors’ gathering spot.”
“This ghost’s terror level shouldn’t be high. Even if the terror level is up to A-level, three ghost controllers can handle it.”
Their Dawn Organization has no trash, all elites.
Every one is a ghost controller who can perfectly resolve B-level supernatural events.
They don’t have many members, only twelve ghost controllers including him.
But every ghost controller was carefully selected from all over, their strength personally verified by him.
“Tell them, if they can handle this ghost, I’ll get them a method of delaying fierce ghost revival.”
Li Yong’s eyes were deep, the middle-aged man’s eyes flickered with a hint of excitement.
“Yes, Leader.”
“Go.”
The middle-aged man nodded and quickly left the office.
Li Yong stood by the window. The value of one ghost is huge.
Black Eight Club has seven ghosts, now Da Jiang City has another ghost out in the open, adding up to eight.
If they could get them all…
Combined with Lin Qian’s method of controlling fierce ghosts…
Li Yong felt their Dawn Organization could completely replace headquarters.
As long as given time to develop.
“Lin Qian, Lin Qian, hope you know what’s good for you then.”
A prodigal son returning is worth more than gold, never too late.
Li Yong wasn’t worried at all that his subordinates couldn’t handle that ghost.
Obviously, a fierce ghost that kills without changing the surrounding environment, how high could its terror level be?
This ghost has no ghost domain.
Though confident he could handle this supernatural event, it gave him a familiar feeling.
Especially the appearance of the first deceased.
Gutted, no face.
He remembered Lin Qian’s fierce ghost ability could hide in living people’s bodies.
And coming out of a living person’s body also required gutting.
But Lin Qian wouldn’t make them lose face skin.
“So, is there a connection?”
“Or is this supernatural event Lin Qian testing me?”
Li Yong looked at the bustling city outside the window, some doubt in his eyes.
At this moment.
Black Eight Club.
Lin Qian looked gravely at the obtained photos.
Looking at the miserable state of the deceased in the photos, Lin Qian’s eyes twitched.
This way of dying, this death state, too damn familiar.
Three deceased were all survivors, and the common trait was they experienced that supernatural event.
But Lin Qian could confirm they didn’t die because of experiencing that supernatural event.
Rather, he had left a medium on them, that is, the killing pattern.
Originally, this killing pattern would disappear in a few more days at most.
But now, clearly a ghost was killing before the killing pattern disappeared.
Looking at the corpse without face skin in the photo, Lin Qian’s eyes were deep.
What ghost appeared in Da Jiang City, Lin Qian already had a guess in his mind.
“No way, with my current strength, if I run into that ghost, I’m 100% done for.”
He still knew his own ability’s side effects.
The closer to a fierce ghost he had plundered, the faster his own fierce ghost revival.
Lin Qian even guessed that once facing that ghost head-on, even controlling two crashed fierce ghosts wouldn’t suppress his fierce ghost revival.
Thinking of this, Lin Qian took out his mobile phone and called Chu He to come over.
Soon, Chu He pushed the door open and walked in.
“President, what do you need me for?”
Chu He looked at Lin Qian. Not sure if it was an illusion, Lin Qian saw a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Lin Qian was suspicious in his heart, what was this woman thinking?
Whatever, Lin Qian was too lazy to guess.
“I’m going out for a bit. For the next period, I won’t be in Da Jiang City.”
“Have Yu Lin and them pause the task of finding fierce ghosts, all hide up. Any matters, wait for me to come back.”
“A supernatural event appeared in Da Jiang City, the ghost is killing. Tell those three not to get involved, they’ll die.”
Hearing Lin Qian, Chu He was stunned, “President, are you running away?”
Lin Qian’s face darkened instantly, “Running what? I took a task here, the reward is a method of delaying fierce ghost revival. When I come back, I can let Yu Lin and them live a bit longer.”
Hearing this, Chu He suddenly understood. She knew what task it was, most likely the one from Little Strong Club.
“Understood, President. I’ll notify them.”
Lin Qian nodded, but his expression still serious, “Remember, don’t get involved in this supernatural event.”
“Also, what I said today, besides our members, better not let others know.”
Chu He’s expression immediately turned grave, and she nodded.
“Go. I’ll leave soon. Arrange the Black Eight Club’s operations yourself. If something unhandleable comes up, abandon the interests, wait for me to come back.”
His own force still had some use. At least when his fierce ghost revived, the members would exert their maximum effort.
Otherwise, when his fierce ghost revived, scrambling last-minute to find fierce ghosts would really be playing with life.
Chu He nodded and hurriedly left the office.
Watching Chu He’s back, Lin Qian looked out the window, “Li Yong, if you can survive this time, then I’ll have to reconsider your strength.”
If his guess was right, Li Yong would definitely be attacked.
After all, from when he entered until he left, he had left a medium.
Who let him trigger his killing pattern right away?
Not leaving a medium for future use would really be inexcusable.
Besides, at the time, he thought the other came with bad intentions.
Of course, now it seemed he wasn’t wrong, the other did come with bad intentions.
If he had been confident in taking him down then, he would have acted early.
He was different from other ghost controllers.
You act, worry about fierce ghost revival.
Even if you take out the enemy, you’re the one at a loss.
But not me. Though I also worry about fierce ghost revival, as long as I take you out, my fierce ghost revival resolves itself.
“Originally thought of pulling three members to sneak attack you together, but now…”
Lin Qian felt there was no need.
He didn’t want to fall in Da Jiang City.
That day, Lin Qian requisitioned a member’s Maybach and headed to Da Chang City.
He left very secretly, almost no one knew.
By the time Li Yong found out, time was already midnight twelve o’clock.
And at this moment, his expression was ferocious, eyes full of disbelief.
“This, how is it possible!”
“What kind of joke!”
…
Da Chang City.
Inside a villa.
“According to our previous acquisition plan, it’s cash one hundred million, paid immediately, to purchase the box in Mr. Yang’s hands. Of course, we also need to confirm it indeed contains what we need.”
“This is the contract. If no issues, we can start the transaction right away. This is our company’s accountant; he’ll transfer the money to your account within ten minutes.”
A woman, right after sitting down, immediately started talking acquisition with a young man.
No beating around the bush at all, very straightforward, with a strong one hand money one hand goods vibe.
The young man glanced at the contract on the table and pushed it aside: “I don’t understand contracts, no issue with the price, I can sell you the thing, but I have an additional condition.”
“What is Mr. Yang’s additional condition?” the woman asked.
“I want to know the method of controlling a second fierce ghost, delaying fierce ghost revival.”
The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly: “You dare to offer huge sums to acquire this thing, must have very in-depth research on it. Believe you have ways to alleviate our situations.”
At these words, everyone else in the villa was stunned.
All turned to look at the young man and that woman.
Method of controlling a second fierce ghost, delaying fierce ghost revival?
“Can such a thing even be done?” Though doubtful, everyone’s gazes heated up instantly.
If there really was such a method, they had a chance to extend their lives, continue surviving.
No one doesn’t want to live, no one!
The woman’s brows furrowed slightly: “Where did you get this news from? This isn’t something ordinary people can obtain.”
“I have my channels, you don’t need to worry. I just want to ask, my additional condition, do you agree or not?” The young man said seriously: “If you agree, then happy cooperation today.”
“I only handle cash acquisitions of such goods, I have no authority over your additional condition.” the woman said.
“Then call your boss, ask whoever can make the decision.”
The young man chuckled: “Everyone’s time is precious, please don’t deliberately delay, or I’ll be unhappy.”
“And if I’m unhappy, you won’t be happy either.”
After saying that, eyes glowing red stared at her with a hint of eeriness.
The woman’s expression changed slightly, somewhat gravely: “I understand, I’ll ask for instructions. Please wait a moment.”
After saying that, she stood up immediately.
“Mr. Yang, excuse me briefly.”
“Please.” The young man called Mr. Yang smiled slightly.
The woman quickly left with people, holding a mobile phone dialing a number, seemingly contacting someone.
“You know the method of delaying fierce ghost revival?” Suddenly, a middle-aged man called Zhang Han walked over excitedly.
The young man looked up at him: “Me? Don’t know. But these people do. If you want to ask something, ask them. If I knew, I wouldn’t trade a ghost for this deal with them.”
He pointed the spear at the woman and others.
Making these people feel pressure and threat was good for his negotiations.
If they refused the young man, it meant cutting off other ghost controllers’ hope of survival. What consequences that would bring, no one knew.
“You’re right, you don’t know, they must.” Zhang Han stared at the woman on the phone in the distance.
His gaze carried ferocity and madness.
“Boss, the situation’s complicated. That Yang Jian knows some news. He proposed the method of controlling a second fierce ghost, delaying fierce ghost revival as additional condition. And other ghost controllers now know there’s such a method. If we can’t smoothly complete this transaction today, I’m afraid we won’t leave this club easily.”
The woman felt several terrifying gazes on her back, chilling.
Though still summer, it made one shiver all over, hairs standing on end.
This group seemed ready to devour them alive.
“Okay, got it.”
“Yeah, I know what to do.”
The woman nodded while umming.
No one knew what was said on the phone.
Moments later, she hung up and walked back.
“Sorry, Mr. Yang, for making you wait.” The woman sat down.
The young man was wiping the swing stick from the book, playing with that special pistol, smiling: “No matter. Don’t know how your side discussed?”
“The method of controlling a second fierce ghost is very complex.” The woman said: “Recklessly attempting it, death rate over ninety percent.”
“But someone succeeded, right?” The young man stared at her.
“Indeed special cases, but that might be an accident. Mr. Yang should know not everyone’s that lucky.” The woman looked at the young man.
“I know, so there must be some key factor I’m unaware of.”
“Our boss agrees to your additional condition, and to this acquisition plan, but correspondingly, one piece of goods’ chips aren’t enough.”
“You mean I need to catch another ghost for you? If so, I’d rather give up one hundred million.” The young man’s eyes narrowed.
“No, you need to resolve a supernatural event for the company. Of course, no matter who, as long as anyone resolves this supernatural event, detains that ghost, they can complete this transaction with the company, get the method of controlling a second fierce ghost. However, the success rate isn’t one hundred percent, still very high failure possibility.” The woman shook her head.
“This is the data, and my company’s business card. Whenever you complete it, contact me then.”
“So today ends here, allow us to leave first.”
Before she could stand, the young man said: “Wait.”
“Hm? Anything else?” The woman was puzzled.
The young man smiled: “Nothing, just want to remind you, if your words are deceptive, or there’s any trick here, you all die. Of course, if you have any concealment, say it now, I can pretend nothing happened. If you leave here, consequences on you.”
At these words, the group clearly showed fear.
Don’t think a kid’s threat lacks punch, but considering he’s a ghost controller, it carries weight.
“R-Reassure, it won’t.” The woman swallowed, somewhat nervously.
“Good. If so, I’ll follow the vine to the root, get your whole family.” The young man looked at the woman calmly: “Now I’ve said my piece, please go ahead.”
“Then we’ll take our leave.”
The woman left somewhat hurriedly, like scared, fleeing with company colleagues.
“You can find them later, right?” The young man suddenly looked at a man exuding a gloomy aura all over.
The man nodded without hesitation: “Of course.”
“Good, some things must be guarded against.” The young man looked at the data on the table again.
Soon, the young man and the man left.
“See, the other side same as you, just a kid, but he looks like a baring fangs and claws little calf.” Little Strong Club’s person in charge, Wang Xiaoqiang, now standing beside a young man, looking at the two leaving the villa, said faintly.
