Chapter 88: S-class Supernatural Event Erupts!!!
Da Jiang City.
“It failed. They seriously underestimated the terror level of the Ghost Opera Stage.”
“I don’t know how many can survive.”
“I think it’s unlikely.”
“Get ready. The complete revival of the Ghost Opera Stage will definitely trigger that ghost’s revival, and the entire Da Jiang City will be enveloped.”
“Before that ghost fully revives, we have to keep a close eye on it.”
“Don’t forget, there’s also a sinister guy who hasn’t shown up yet. We have to stop him.”
“…”
That golden gate suddenly shook.
Immediately after, the gate creaked open.
The eerie opera sounds rapidly spread outward.
Blood with a bloody smell surged out from inside the door, appearing outside, quickly forming a blood pool.
In the blood pool, three people sank to the bottom, their faces pale, their bodies abnormally cold.
One of them, wearing a red shroud, had blood continuously surging from the shroud on his body, expanding the depth and range of the blood pool, while resisting the invasion of that eerie opera sound.
And inside the gate, on that rooftop, a black hemp rope tightly strangled a young man’s neck, suspending him in mid-air.
On that terrifying opera stage, a eerie person with a eerie expression, six arms hanging limply behind.
The whole person mixed in among those Ghost Slaves, stiffly walking around with them.
Below the opera stage, five burned-out red candles lay scattered on the ground.
At the doorway, five white candles slowly burned, swaying in the wind, flickering the flames.
But they could not extinguish these five white candles.
The pale candlelight merged together, covering a vast area.
The eerie singing voice spread from within the campus.
On the street, pedestrians blankly looked up toward the direction of the sound.
“Is there a performance?”
“It’s opera, sung quite authentically, but did anyone say they were coming to perform in Da Jiang City?”
“There’s no prior notice either.”
Someone wondered.
But suddenly, they terrifyingly discovered that someone around them suddenly fell to the ground with a eerie expression.
When someone approached to check, they found the person was already dead.
As the singing voice spread, those who heard it had eerie smiles or crying expressions on their faces at that moment.
Immediately after, they fell to the ground without warning.
In just a moment, the singing voice enveloped half of Da Jiang City.
Desperate screams rang out.
The singing voice continued to spread, soon reaching a eerie place—a mental hospital.
A mental hospital abandoned for twenty or thirty years.
The moment the singing voice appeared, the entire mental hospital suddenly paused.
The empty rooms inside suddenly emitted loud noises.
On a bed, a rotten corpse abruptly sat up, then got out of bed and walked toward the door.
Deep in the hospital, opera sounds lingered.
Bang~!
On the wall, yellow paper peeled off, revealing a rotten human face, which suddenly opened its eyes at one moment.
And at this instant.
The sky over Da Jiang City abruptly changed color.
Dark brown smog rapidly appeared, covering the entire sky.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Da Jiang City was enveloped by this dark brown smog.
Ghost Domain, large-scale Ghost Domain!
At this moment, in Da Chang City, Yang Jian suddenly looked up at the sky, his expression immediately turning grim.
A bluish-black smog started from the city center, spreading toward the surroundings.
It quickly blocked out the sunlight, and the surrounding environment visibly darkened.
“Trouble has come.”
Yang Jian directly hung up the phone that wouldn’t connect, turned around, and quickly drove back to Guan Jiang Residential Community.
One hour later, Headquarters.
“Professor Wang, we can’t contact the Da Jiang City side.”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao Ming frowned, “Where is Lu Lin’s satellite positioning?”
“Unable to locate. Lu Lin’s satellite positioning mobile phone seems to be damaged.” Li Jun said with a serious expression.
“Lu Lin’s last call was that he and the Desolate Club members went to handle a supernatural event together.”
“Then the call was cut off.”
“Until Da Jiang City was enveloped by the Ghost Domain.”
Hearing Li Jun’s words, Wang Xiao Ming fell somewhat silent. After a long while, he asked, “Can we contact Lin Qian?”
Li Jun shook his head, “Can’t contact him. He left Da Jiang City a few days ago, destination unknown.”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao Ming became even more silent.
“Additionally, Da Chang City has also had a sudden supernatural event, with Ghost Domain enveloping the entire Da Chang City.”
“Headquarters judges that Da Jiang City and Da Chang City may have simultaneously erupted with S-level supernatural events.”
“Da Chang City also erupted with a supernatural event?” Wang Xiao Ming was stunned, then his expression turned serious.
“Yes, Headquarters has already arranged people to head to Da Chang City and Da Jiang City.”
“Professor Wang. The Minister wants you to go to the meeting room.”
At this time, an operator pushed open the laboratory door and shouted toward Wang Xiao Ming.
Wang Xiao Ming stood up, “Coming right away.”
Then he and Li Jun quickly headed to the meeting room.
In the meeting room.
After Wang Xiao Ming sat down, Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua looked at everyone in the meeting room; basically all were present.
He glanced at the Minister, and the Minister nodded.
He immediately looked at everyone.
“Currently, Da Chang City and Da Jiang City have simultaneously erupted with what are suspected to be S-level supernatural events.”
“The situation is severe right now. We still don’t know the cause of this event, but the cause is no longer important.”
“Now, both cities are enveloped by extremely large-scale Ghost Domains. We don’t know if the people inside are alive or dead.”
“Our biggest problem now is that Headquarters is seriously short on manpower.”
“Two large-scale supernatural events cannot be handled simultaneously at all.”
“The reason for opening this meeting is to discuss whether to prioritize rescuing Da Chang City or Da Jiang City first.”
After speaking, Cao Yanhua looked at everyone.
But after these words, everyone fell somewhat silent.
This wasn’t easy to say.
The implication in Cao Yanhua’s words was obvious: Headquarters currently had manpower to handle only one city’s supernatural event; the other city could not be handled for the time being.
This meant choosing one city and abandoning the other.
Who dared to speak first?
“Professor Wang, what is your opinion?”
Seeing no one speak, Cao Yanhua looked at Wang Xiao Ming.
On official matters, Wang Xiao Ming was the most impartial.
Even though his younger brother was in Da Jiang City now.
Wang Xiao Ming would absolutely not abuse public office for private gain.
In the entire Headquarters, if anyone had the least selfishness on major matters, it was Professor Wang Xiao Ming; even he, the Deputy Minister, couldn’t compare.
Wang Xiao Ming’s gaze flickered:
“From the current situation, we lack intelligence.”
“For these two supernatural events, we don’t know which one is easier to handle.”
“My idea is to send people to both sides.”
“First determine the danger level and terror level of the supernatural events, then decide which one to prioritize.”
“If Da Chang City’s supernatural event is easy to handle, then undoubtedly prioritize handling Da Chang City’s supernatural event first, and after finishing, return to handle Da Jiang City’s supernatural event.”
“The same goes the other way.”
At this point, Wang Xiao Ming was slightly silent. Cao Yanhua paused, waiting for him to continue.
“But, my idea is to handle Da Chang City’s supernatural event first.”
Instantly, everyone’s gazes changed slightly.
Cao Yanhua was also stunned, somewhat puzzled, “Why?”
Da Jiang City had his younger brother, and also Headquarters’ most important partner Lin Qian.
Da Jiang City was Lin Qian’s territory.
Both emotionally and rationally, they should prioritize handling Da Jiang City’s supernatural event.
“Because Da Jiang City’s supernatural event is undoubtedly the most dangerous.”
Wang Xiao Ming said seriously, “Da Jiang City has Lin Qian.”
“You all know his abilities.”
This “you all know” instantly silenced most people.
Who was Lin Qian?
What could he do?
How would we know?
“Although Lin Qian is not in Da Jiang City, his members are, and Lin Qian’s members are absolutely beneficiaries of Lin Qian’s methods.”
“Even the current person in charge of Da Jiang City, Lu Lin, is a beneficiary.”
“After this supernatural event erupted, they have all lost contact.”
“What this means, I don’t need to say.”
“Undoubtedly, Da Jiang City’s supernatural event is the most perilous.”
“We handle Da Chang City’s supernatural event first; if we can, handle it quickly, then go support Da Jiang City.”
“If not, then see the situation.”
Calm, almost cold-blooded remarks.
Da Jiang City had his younger brother.
Cao Yanhua was somewhat silent, but undoubtedly, Wang Xiao Ming was correct.
In Da Jiang City, Lin Qian’s members had all controlled three, even four fierce ghosts.
Most of them had Ghost Domains.
Their strength had long surpassed 90% of Headquarters’ Ghost Controllers.
Yet such a foundation had directly lost contact after the supernatural event erupted in Da Jiang City.
What this meant was self-evident.
Actually, Cao Yanhua, and even most people, hoped Wang Xiao Ming would rescue Da Jiang City.
Abusing power for personal gain meant nothing to Wang Xiao Ming.
But Wang Xiao Ming did not do so, and moreover, this didn’t even count as abusing power for personal gain.
Both S-level supernatural events needed handling.
And both were very difficult to handle.
Since both were hard to handle, why not choose to handle Da Jiang City first?
“Professor Wang, your reasoning makes sense. We’ll do as you say.” Cao Yanhua said after a moment of silence.
Wang Xiao Ming nodded.
“Zhao Jianguo, immediately send more Ghost Controllers to Da Chang City, and contact the Ghost Controllers in Da Chang City to receive and support.”
“Okay.” Zhao Jianguo stood up without hesitation and directly left the meeting room.
The meeting ended just like that. Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiao Ming took a private jet toward Da Chang City.
After Wang Xiao Ming left, Li Jun did not immediately head to Da Chang City but came to Headquarters.
Creak.
The knocked room door opened, and a numb-expressioned young man appeared at the doorway.
“Li Jun…”
The moment he saw Li Jun, the young man nodded, “Let’s go. Finish the experiment early so I can return early.”
“This time it’s not an experiment.”
Li Jun hurriedly said.
The young man was stunned, “Not an experiment?”
“Yes, Da Jiang City and Da Chang City have erupted with S-level supernatural events. Professor Wang wants you to go to Da Jiang City to check the situation.”
“Professor Wang’s younger brother is also in Da Jiang City.”
Hearing this, the young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Understood.”
“Professor Wang didn’t have Headquarters rescue his younger brother?”
Li Jun nodded, “Professor Wang prioritized handling Da Chang City’s supernatural event.”
“Da Jiang City’s supernatural event is very perilous. Wang Xiaoqiang and the others are Ghost Controllers similar to you, all having controlled dormant fierce ghosts.”
“But they lost contact before the supernatural event even erupted.”
“Very dangerous. Professor Wang instructed you to be very careful.”
“You just need to scout the situation in Da Jiang City. If possible, within your ability and while preserving yourself, rescue Wang Xiaoqiang. If not, forget it.”
The young man stroked his chin, “Just scouting, right.”
“The main purpose is scouting. If you can figure out the source of the supernatural event and the opponent’s killing pattern, that’s best; if not, no matter.”
The young man nodded, “Okay.”
“Heading out now?”
“The sooner the better.” Li Jun said with a serious expression, finally adding, “Be careful. Da Jiang City’s supernatural event is extremely dangerous.”
“Understood.”
The young man nodded, then walked past Li Jun, his figure slowly disappearing in the corridor.
Li Jun watched the disappearing young man, “A Ghost Controller who has controlled five A-level fierce ghosts—wonder if he can get the intelligence Professor Wang wants.”
Li Jun also left, heading to Da Chang City.
Headquarters placed its main force in Da Chang City, striving to prioritize handling Da Chang City’s supernatural event, then turn back to handle Da Jiang City’s supernatural event.
Currently, this was the optimal solution.
Now, in Da Jiang City.
Inside the club.
A box was suddenly pushed open, a pale hand resting on the box, followed by a pale-faced man sitting up.
Chilling cold spread wildly; the office became even colder, a bloody smell mixed with mud scent spreading from the man.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, “I… am still alive.”
The man was extremely surprised. In his memory, he was suddenly strangled at the neck, the fierce ghost in his body suppressed in an instant, then thrown into darkness.
In the darkness, he seemed to be buried, with large amounts of soil entering his mouth, nose, and ears.
Then, he lost consciousness.
“I am indeed still alive.”
Yan Li came out of the box and sensed the situation in his body.
He clearly felt that in his body full of ghost blood, many new things had appeared.
It was a kind of mud, mixed with ghost blood, dyed dark red.
Then it flowed along the body.
“Looks like I have controlled the second ghost.”
“Wang Xiaoqiang and they really chose to save me.”
Yan Li was somewhat silent. He had never thought that one day he would be saved by Wang Xiaoqiang and the others.
“What Yang Jian said is all true. Wang Xiaoqiang is not a good person, but the person Wang Xiaoqiang joined might be a good person.”
Sensing his own condition, he felt very strong, as if he no longer needed to worry about supernatural revival.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the supernatural power in his body now could easily suppress his previous self.
Even when his fierce ghost had revived back then, and the ghost blood had become extremely terrifying.
It could still be suppressed.
Yan Li exhaled, suddenly seeing a paper with writing on the desk.
He walked over and picked it up:
Yan Li, when you see this paper, it means you have successfully controlled the second ghost, and we may have encountered an accident.
The second ghost is dormant and won’t revive; it can well balance and suppress the fierce ghost in your body. You don’t need to worry about using supernatural power causing fierce ghost revival; at least in the short term, you won’t have fierce ghost revival.
You now head directly to the old campus in Da Jiang City.
The current situation is that we are going to handle a supernatural event. The harm level and terror level of the supernatural event are probably A-level and above, possibly even S-level supernatural event, but the possibility is small.
If you arrive and see us, it means nothing unexpected happened. If you don’t see us, or see us but the situation is off, don’t force it; leave quickly and pass on the news.
A supernatural event that even we can’t handle is undoubtedly an S-level supernatural event.
Of course, if it’s really as I said, unexpectedly, you might see something wrong in Da Jiang City as soon as you go out.
At that time, I still hope you come find us and check the situation, but best to preserve your own strength and pass on the news.
—Desolate Club Vice President, signed Wang Xiaoqiang.
Yan Li silently looked at this note.
He quickly left the villa, and as soon as he went out, he saw something wrong.
Yan Li: “…”
So, Wang Xiaoqiang and the others have already fallen, and he has become the last hope?
