N-A-A Chapter 69 Head of Daping City
Chapter 69 Head of Daping City
"Sun Rui, the foreign forum you asked headquarters to investigate last time didn't find any information. That thing is very likely involved in supernatural forces. We currently suspect it's a supernatural event named 'Midnight Forum'," Zhou Wan said on the phone.
"Hmm... Keep tracking it. Let me know as soon as you have any news."
"Also, Zhao Kaiming appeared in Dachuan City last time, but unfortunately the person in charge of Dachuan City did not stop him. According to the information reported by the person in charge, Zhao Kaiming wanted to attack him, but unfortunately he failed in the end."
"Understood. Here's a piece of advice for Wang Xiaoming: don't try to study the starving ghosts. Zhao Kaiming may not have given up, and I don't want the starving ghost incident to repeat itself," Sun Rui said.
Zhao Kaiming went to Dachuan City probably to find a body for the wishing ghost. Li Leping, who was out of control, would have been a good candidate. However, he failed. Li Leping is now an anomaly, and even out of control, he is not so easy to kill.
Moreover, it also possesses the ability of the Forgotten Ghost, which is a special kind of reboot. As long as it forgets that it was attacked, it is as if it was not attacked at all.
"Okay, I'll pass that on to the lab. I've sent you the information about the person in charge in Daping City. Headquarters has already instructed him to fully cooperate with your operation."
Sun Rui hung up the phone.
They are currently on a plane bound for Daping City, and Sun Rui has already learned most of the relevant information about the city.
"Lei Hao... codename Ghost Silhouette, his ability information is blank. All we know is that he is a college student who unexpectedly became a ghost tamer and solved two paranormal incidents." Sun Rui looked at the information on his phone.
It's normal for someone to conceal their abilities. After all, his own file at headquarters is pretty much the same. It only has a code name, some identity information, and details of the paranormal events he's handled. That's all.
"This person won't hinder our investigation, will he? Ghost tamers aren't exactly easy to get along with," Liu Qi said.
"Don't worry, the headquarters gave this person a pretty high evaluation. He's similar to Zhou Zheng. There aren't many paranormal events in Daping City, so he's been alive until now," Sun Rui said.
Liu Qi felt relieved. He only realized after becoming a Ghost Tamer that people like Zhou Zheng were very rare. The vast majority of Ghost Tamers were madmen, and if they weren't restrained by headquarters, they might cause a lot of trouble.
They then looked at the investigation information for Fu'an Apartment. The report described it as an ordinary apartment building, which had been home to many people not long ago, but was now being centrally quarantined by headquarters.
Sun Rui could understand the headquarters' approach. This would effectively prevent the spread of paranormal events, and even if a paranormal event did occur, it would not have a wide impact.
Even if it means sacrificing dozens of lives and risking the entire city, headquarters is well aware of the consequences.
"Sun Rui, don't you think this apartment building is a bit too quiet?" Liu Qi frowned. "Look, these two photos were taken at least a year apart, but the exterior walls of the apartment haven't changed at all. Even the peeling paint is in the same shape."
The photo shows an apartment building with its exterior painted vermilion and a flat roof, in a modern style.
The apartment's main entrance is located right in the middle, and the building's corridor is also the balcony. This is different from the gray brick apartment Sun Rui lived in before, where the corridor was all outside and could be seen directly, and some clothes were drying on the balcony.
The latter only allows you to see the room's windows, while the corridor is inside.
The exterior walls on both sides were painted red, and some of the red paint has peeled off due to wind and sun. The two photos were taken a year apart, but apart from the slightly different shooting angles, they are identical.
Even some stains on the exterior walls are the same.
"We've noticed, but there's too little information to deduce anything useful... We can only confirm that this place is definitely being affected by the supernatural, and it started a long time ago, but the harm isn't outwardly apparent," Sun Rui said.
He had one more thing to say: since the Ghost Post Office sent a messenger to deliver the letter, it meant that a supernatural event was about to break out, but it wasn't obvious, or rather, it was a rather special supernatural event. If it weren't for Sun Yan delivering the letter, this matter might have been covered up.
After all, headquarters wouldn't pay attention to an apartment building, and the residents in the apartment have a certain degree of mobility. Even if all the residents who have lived there have died, the fact that they are too scattered will not attract attention.
……
The plane landed at Taiping Airport.
The airport had been cleared out, and several police cars and a sports car were parked a few dozen meters away from the runway.
"What exactly happened at Fu'an Apartment... I hope Sun Rui can resolve this matter. I can't even discover this paranormal event on my own." A somewhat thin young man leaned against the sports car with his hands in his pockets.
Upon receiving the message, he immediately sealed off the apartment. He had gone inside alone, but found nothing unusual.
Soon, Sun Rui and Liu Qi got off the plane.
Lei Hao sensed an inexplicable risk at first glance, as if he were being targeted by a vengeful ghost.
"Hello, I am Lei Hao, the person in charge of Daping City. You must be Sun Rui?" Lei Hao extended his right hand to Sun Rui.
"Okay, enough chit-chat, just take us to Fu'an Apartment." Sun Rui said, shaking hands with him.
"Okay, let's prioritize dealing with paranormal events." Lei Hao nodded. He didn't really like those roundabout ways; in his view, resolving paranormal events was the most important thing.
The three got into a police car and headed to Fu'an Apartment.
"Who is this?" Lei Hao asked, turning to look at Liu Qi from the passenger seat.
"My friend, Liu Qi, just didn't join headquarters, but he's somewhat involved in this paranormal event," Sun Rui said.
"I don't know much about it; at most, I can be a helper," Liu Qi explained.
"Thank you. There aren't many good people like you anymore," Lei Hao said.
Sun Rui nodded expressionlessly, without saying anything.
Liu Qi's expression was a little strange. How could this person be so naive? Besides, the two of them weren't really good people. It was just that the supernatural event had implicated them, otherwise they wouldn't have come all this way.
Soon, police cars arrived outside a locked-down apartment building.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw an apartment that looked exactly like the one in the photo.
At that moment, a figure walked out of the apartment; it was Lin Zhensheng.
"You've finally arrived," he said.
Lei Hao's eyes widened. He had already checked and there were still people in the apartment.
But when Lin Zhensheng got closer, he realized that the person in front of him was a ghost tamer, so it was quite normal that the other party had not been discovered.
"He's the one who discovered the paranormal events here, otherwise I wouldn't have come here," Sun Rui explained to Lei Hao, who was standing to the side.
"I see, nice to meet you," Lei Hao said. "There are four of us Ghost Tamers in total. Solving this paranormal event should be a piece of cake, right?"
"Don't let your guard down. I can sense that the paranormal events here are not simple," Sun Rui warned.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the four entered the apartment.
The vermilion exterior walls and the wide-open gate resembled a gaping maw, ready to devour everyone.
