Chapter 49: Perfect Conclusion
Mist Ghost, terror level not high, although it has a ghost domain, ghosts with ghost domains are not necessarily terrifying.
There is precedent for this in the original work.
Of course, this is in the early stage.
Ghosts with ghost domains in the early stage are basically very difficult to handle.
Because this period is a time of transition.
The mist is cold and eerie, footsteps seeming to come from all directions.
Lin Qian stirs the mist, as the controller of this ghost, he knows very well its killing pattern.
Feng Quan’s Mist Ghost has a ghost domain, in the white mist, as long as the mist is stirred, one will be attacked by the ghost.
This is the killing pattern of this ghost.
Da da da.
Footsteps ring out from all directions.
“I don’t have time to play house with you.”
Lin Qian reaches out with one hand, a corpse missing half its head is directly grabbed by him from the mist.
The eerie terrifying mist begins to dissipate.
In an instant, the revived fierce ghost is suppressed.
Lin Qian suddenly looks behind him, “International Police uniform?”
“Who are you?”
Unbeknownst at what time, a man wearing an International Police uniform quietly stands under the streetlight on the street.
The man frowns, looking at Lin Qian, eyes showing some surprise and confusion.
The other’s line of sight scans back and forth between Lin Qian and the fierce ghost in his hand.
“My name is Lu Lin, if nothing unexpected, the next person in charge of Da Jiang City, currently controlling one ghost, has ghost domain, revival time remaining three months, can handle A-level supernatural events.”
“Support dispatched by headquarters this time.”
Lu Lin doesn’t say headquarters sent him to rescue him, given the other’s state, he doesn’t need rescuing at all.
Headquarters and Circle of Friends seem to have come for nothing.
However, it’s not for nothing for him, he came to take office anyway.
“Support?”
Lin Qian is somewhat surprised, “I remember I didn’t request aid.”
“Wang Xiaoqiang?”
He was in the ghost domain, no time to request aid, only Wang Xiaoqiang could have.
“Yes.” Lu Lin nods, “Wang Xiaoqiang learned of your situation through Ye Feng, worried for your safety, afraid you’d die here, so notified headquarters.”
“Headquarters and Circle of Friends both dispatched people, I have ghost domain, first to arrive here, the other support should have entered the city by now.”
Lin Qian understands, nods, “Thoughtful.”
“Though you came for nothing.”
“But since you’re here, lend a hand.”
Lin Qian directly tosses the suppressed fierce ghost in his hand to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin’s pupils shrink slightly, instinctively wants to dodge, but thinks better, reaches out and catches the fierce ghost directly.
“Take the ghost out for detention, these are my resources.”
As he catches the fierce ghost, Lin Qian’s voice sounds.
“You’re not coming out with me?” Lu Lin hurriedly asks.
“Me? Still early.”
Lin Qian waves his hand, ghost domain activates, figure flashes and vanishes.
Lu Lin opens his mouth, words on the tip of his tongue but unsaid.
He frowns slightly, “Isn’t this messing around?”
Wandering randomly inside a ghost’s ghost domain, fun?
Lu Lin furrows his brows, opens the satellite positioning mobile phone on his chest, “I’ve entered the A-level supernatural event, Knocking Ghost Incident’s ghost domain, met Lin Qian, he threw me a ghost with ghost domain to take out for detention.”
“But he doesn’t want to leave with me, seems to have something to do.”
“Now, I will carry out Lin Qian’s arrangement, take the fierce ghost out for detention, then return to find Lin Qian.”
“Report complete.”
After speaking, Lu Lin exhales, glances at the corpse in his hand, this ghost’s terror level is not low.
Even suppressed, but it’s reviving now, this reviving supernatural makes him feel a trace of danger.
This Lin Qian’s strength is definitely more terrifying than his.
Since the other asked for help, he’ll help, earlier when he heard lend a hand, he thought the other wanted to try detaining the Knocking Ghost Incident together.
At that time he was nervous, after all Knocking Ghost Incident is nominally A-level at headquarters, but if just A-level supernatural event, headquarters wouldn’t let it continue existing.
Headquarters had sent people to try detaining it before, but unfortunately all failed.
Not only failed, but lost several ghost controllers who could handle A-level supernatural events.
No choice, headquarters could only let this ghost exist.
This supernatural event temporarily cannot be handled.
Da da da.
Just as Lu Lin finishes reporting his situation, dull footsteps suddenly ring around him.
Lu Lin’s pupils contract, looks around, expression slightly changes.
In the thick darkness, footsteps are dense.
Seems many people walking this way.
“Ghost slaves?”
Lu Lin’s gaze flickers slightly, “First detain this ghost.”
His idea simple, this ghost temporarily suppressed, first take it out of ghost domain for detention, lest it revives later and Lin Qian has to catch it again.
He’s here to help, not make trouble.
Without much hesitation, Lu Lin immediately prepares to activate ghost domain to leave.
But the moment he activates ghost domain, rotten eerie arms suddenly appear from the surrounding darkness, reaching for him.
At the same time, his activated ghost domain flickers.
Lu Lin’s face darkens, “Get lost!”
Ghost domain forcibly activates, faint greenish dead light flickers, Lu Lin instantly disappears from the spot.
The outstretched arms grab empty.
Footsteps eerily stop.
In the distance, Lin Qian sees this, nods, not wanting to make trouble is best.
“Knocking Ghost has been drawn away, next is to start recovering fierce ghosts.”
Several fierce ghosts in one ghost domain, what is this?
This is rebellion?
Joking, he Lin Qian such a good person, how could he let this happen?
The chaos caused by Li Yong will be quelled by him!
Lin Qian’s figure flickers, directly appears in the tallest mansion in the ghost domain.
“As expected, all have revived.”
Lin Qian senses the situation in the mansion, at least seven ghosts wandering inside, all fierce ghost revival.
“You following Li Yong really suffered.”
Lin Qian complains, directly enters the mansion, starts recovering fierce ghosts.
These ghosts individually have terror levels not as high as Li Yong.
He even insta-killed Li Yong, these ghosts needless to say.
Even if his current state is poor, he can still sweep the fierce ghosts in the mansion with crushing posture.
He said, the chaos caused by Li Yong will be quelled by him.
Outside the ghost domain.
Because Lin Qian lingers in the ghost domain, Knocking Ghost stays here, hasn’t left the city to kill those who triggered its killing pattern.
At this moment, Lu Lin abruptly appears on the street he left from before.
“Close call, almost left behind.”
Lu Lin’s face changes uncertainly.
Is the gap in strength between him and Lin Qian that big?
Both have ghost domains, the other can freely enter and exit Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain without danger, but he risks being left behind.
“Lu Lin?”
A surprised voice sounds ahead.
Lu Lin startles, looks up, brows furrow slightly, “You came? Not going in?”
On the roadside of the street, several figures stand.
Some from headquarters, some from Circle of Friends.
Headquarters has only two, Circle of Friends also two, but all top ghost controllers of this period.
Besides them, Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng, and several unfamiliar ghost controllers.
Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng placing an old man corpse pierced by a shovel into a golden coffin, wrapping it with gold foil, gold thread, and hammering gold nails.
“Us go in?”
Headquarters and Circle of Friends ghost controllers frown.
“What for? Make trouble?”
A headquarters International Police speaks up.
“Lin Qian is confirmed safe now, us going in isn’t helping, it’s making trouble.”
“You don’t want to see us not helping Lin Qian but needing him to save us, right.”
“We don’t have ghost domain ability.”
A Circle of Friends person chimes in.
Lu Lin frowns at this, makes sense, but just standing here watching?
Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?
Even if not going in, at least help detain fierce ghosts outside.
Lu Lin knows he can’t interfere in these decisions, doesn’t want to say more.
He carries the corpse in hand, walks to Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng, “This is the fierce ghost Lin Qian gave me to bring out, detain it.”
“Thanks for Detective Lu’s help.” Wang Xiaoqiang’s eyes light up, waves hurriedly for Yu Lin and others to bring a coffin.
Yu Lin, Manyue, Si Zeyuan three, without hesitation, quickly carry a coffin over.
Also prepare gold thread, gold nails, gold foil.
Then under Lu Lin’s surprised gaze, the three directly pack the corpse into the coffin.
Entire process under three minutes.
Headquarters and Circle of Friends expressions unchanged, but always watching this side.
Their expressions show no change, but eyes reveal a trace of unusual color.
After detaining the fierce ghost, Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng arrange for Yu Lin them to load the coffin onto the truck, then bring several empty golden coffins to wait here.
“You all, don’t seem worried about Lin Qian?” Lu Lin can’t hold back, looks at Wang Xiaoqiang and asks.
Wang Xiaoqiang frowns, “Worried? Why worry?”
“Dust settled now, Lin Qian returns to ghost domain himself to recover fierce ghosts, means he has the confidence.”
“Our worry is superfluous, what we can do now is help detain fierce ghosts outside.”
“Lin Qian isn’t stupid.”
“Knows his limits.”
Uh…
Lu Lin falls silent, alright, reason is sound, but still puzzled.
So confident in Lin Qian’s strength?
Fine, should be confident, other’s strength now obvious to all.
“Eh, all here?”
Suddenly.
A light surprised voice abruptly sounds.
All present gazes instantly turn to the voice.
Only to see a young man carrying nine body bags appear on the street.
“This is… Lin Qian? Really, so young.”
Circle of Friends two and headquarters two ghost controllers, gazes shift, somewhat incredulous.
They knew Lin Qian important, but didn’t know the important person so young.
Other looks twenty?
Unlikely, very unlikely.
“All recovered?” Wang Xiaoqiang, Ye Feng, and Yu Lin three quickly run to Lin Qian’s side, reach out to take the body bags.
On touch, all golden.
“Mm, handled all at once, matter done.”
Lin Qian shows a relaxed smile.
As if to verify his words, the gloomy ghost domain in the distant behind begins to dissipate.
Several see this, “Knocking Ghost detained?”
“No, it left.”
If Knocking Ghost detained, ghost domain would disappear immediately when Lin Qian detains it, not now.
“Good it’s ended, you really scared us this time.” Wang Xiaoqiang exhales, saying not worried is false, how important Lin Qian is shown by headquarters and Circle of Friends dispatched ghost controllers.
All top ghost controllers of this period.
“Calm, I know my limits.”
Lin Qian waves hand, though surprised seeing that old man, with his ability then, fully capable of taking opponent down.
Just at great cost.
This encirclement, danger but no peril.
Not only dealt with Li Yong this not-too-bright ghost controller, but also Taiping Ancient Town’s old man.
Got quite a few ghosts.
Next his strength will rise another level, some ghosts here he fancies.
Puzzle pieces for the fierce ghosts on him, though killing patterns conflict somewhat, who says conflicting killing patterns can’t be puzzle pieces?
Wang Xiaoqiang somewhat speechless, you know limits, if so he wouldn’t call support.
Thinking of support, Wang Xiaoqiang looks at headquarters and Circle of Friends ghost controllers.
“They all came for support, though wasted trip, but good they came.”
Ye Feng hears, corner of mouth twitches, good they came indeed.
Wang Xiaoqiang really doesn’t care about their face.
Sure enough, the four who didn’t participate, faces change slightly, become somewhat cold.
Lin Qian doesn’t mind, “Thought counts.”
He waves, “Heading back.”
After speaking, he gets into a sports car by the road.
Wang Xiaoqiang glances at the four, ignores, then looks at Lu Lin, “Detective Lu, go take over Da Jiang City appointment first.”
Lu Lin thinks, nods, “Sure.”
He now is next person in charge of Da Jiang City, after Li Yong dies, he is.
The four ghost controllers’ faces turn gloomy, they came for support, but Lin Qian they don’t give any good face?
Directly ignore and leave?
Arrogant!
But suddenly.
“Since came, can’t let them go empty-handed, one hundred million each, as hard work fee.”
Lin Qian in the car, lights a cigarette, one hand on steering wheel, looks at the five ghost controllers including Lu Lin.
“Manyue, notify Chu He to transfer the money.”
Manyue nods hurriedly, notifies Chu He.
Wang Xiaoqiang sits shotgun, Ye Feng follows the truck, those three ghost controllers guarding a truck of ghosts, they not assured.
Better him this top expert controlling two ghosts to guard, more stable.
Lin Qian waves, sports car starts, Lu Lin including the four ghost controllers lick lips, one hundred million, equivalent to one ghost’s price.
Just came for nothing, get one hundred million, tsk tsk, this Lin Qian guy…
Five faces no longer gloomy.
Wealth moves hearts, as ever since ancient times.
Lin Qian departs, taking fierce ghosts to the club in the suburbs.
Matter successfully concluded, though some trouble hidden, but won’t pose danger to him currently.
Dayuan City, Taiping Ancient Town.
