Chapter 67 Invitation to the Headquarters Meeting
Chapter 67 Invitation to the Headquarters Meeting
The plane landed quickly in Dahan City.
Sun Rui and Liu Qi returned to the Donghan Building together.
"Shall we go directly to Daping City?" Liu Qi asked, standing inside the elevator.
"No need to rush. Let someone collect some information first. Often, paranormal events can be traced in subtle clues," Sun Rui said as the elevator stopped at the top floor.
As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw Wang Guohai already waiting at the office door.
"Let's talk in the office."
Seeing that Wang Guohai was about to speak, Sun Rui spoke first.
Sitting in his office, Wang Guohai began his report.
"Boss, while you were away, Yang Jian from Dachang City came by and said that you could visit Dachang City if you had time..." Wang Guohai said.
"Hmm, I roughly know what it is. Just say it if you want to say anything more," Sun Rui said when he saw that he was hesitant to speak.
"...Ye Zhen, the person in charge of the paranormal forum in Dahai City, would like to invite you...to have a friendly exchange." Wang Guohai said after a moment's thought.
"That guy Ye Zhen... ignore him. I don't have time to fight him pointlessly," Sun Rui said.
Ye Zhen may seem foolish, but he's not. He's using a scapegoat to transfer the consequences of a vengeful ghost's resurrection. His provocation of others is clearly an attempt to force them to become vengeful ghosts themselves.
One of the victims was Fang Shiming, the leader of the "circle of friends". He was forced to the point that his evil spirit was about to resurrect. Now he can't appear in public normally and can only hide himself.
Sun Ruizhen was willing to fight Ye Zhen, even if it meant the awakening of the vengeful ghost from the dead machine and the addition of coffin nails; he wasn't afraid of him. But he wouldn't do something so pointless.
"You can go now if everything's alright," Sun Rui said.
Wang Guohai nodded and left the office.
"Are you going to Dachang City? I'd like to go too, and also see Yang Jian," Liu Qi said.
"Okay, but don't rush. There are a lot of messages from headquarters. Let me handle them first." Sun Rui turned on his satellite positioning phone, which had been switched off for several days.
If he were to remain offline for a few more days, headquarters would practically assume he was dead.
The first message on my phone was:
Headquarters is about to hold a meeting for team captain candidates. Please proceed to Dajing City within seven days.
"Looks like my contribution hasn't been buried..." Sun Rui muttered to himself, then continued reading.
The following are some less important messages.
The previous ghost paintings have disappeared, and some paranormal events have increased. They hope that Sun Rui can provide support.
"I still have to go to Dajing City; the ghost candles from headquarters haven't been given to me yet..."
Sun Rui thought about it and decided he still had to go. If he didn't use the position of headquarter captain, he could still exchange it for something of value.
As for becoming the captain... Sun Rui still has some ideas. He can't stay in Dahan City forever. Zhang Xianguang's Peach Blossom Spring Project is located in Dahan City.
His presence would be an obstacle. If he didn't join them, he would definitely be besieged. But he couldn't leave Dahan City directly. In the end, he still had to solve the problem of Peach Blossom Spring.
After becoming a captain, you will manage more cities and experience more paranormal events.
"We can only take it one step at a time. We can't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of trivial matters. We can't afford to strain our relationship with headquarters too much," Sun Rui analyzed.
I wonder if what happened in Dajing City, as I remember it, will ever happen again...
After figuring out what was going to happen next, the two had lunch at the company cafeteria.
Around 1 p.m., the two boarded a private jet and flew to Dachang City. At this time, Yang Jian had not yet gone to Dajing City.
Shangtong Building, Dachang City.
"Yang Jian, Sun Rui from Dahan City is already on a plane to Dachang City. Don't get into a conflict. You're all colleagues and comrades-in-arms..." Liu Xiaoyu said on the phone.
"Do I look like someone who loves to fight?" Yang Jian said.
"In short... headquarters doesn't want you to clash with Sun Ruiqi." Liu Xiaoyu said with some helplessness.
"I know, I'm not a honey badger."
Yang Jian hung up the phone after saying that.
Since the matter in ZS City was resolved, he has been busy trying to wake Zhao Lei up, but progress has not been very smooth.
He hesitated about whether to let Zhao Lei become a ghost tamer. This was a way of controlling fierce ghosts that he had summarized based on his previous experience of hanging himself. If successful, Zhao Lei could directly control two fierce ghosts when he woke up, and there was almost no risk of resurrection.
Soon, news of Sun Rui's arrival in Dachang City reached his ears. To his surprise, his classmate Liu Qi had also become a ghost tamer.
"I never expected you to become a Ghost Tamer too," Yang Jian said, looking at Liu Qi in front of him.
Sun Rui and Liu Qi came to Shangtong Building as soon as they got off the plane.
"It was just luck. If it weren't for Sun Rui, I probably would be dead by now," Liu Qi sighed.
"Yang Jian, is there any news about the previous newspaper reports?" Sun Rui asked.
"Yes, the ghost has been imprisoned, but there have been some minor problems. You should know about Zhao Lei's situation. I currently have two special ghosts who can revive Zhao Lei, and I'd like to ask for your opinion," Yang Jian said.
"You're trying to create a special opportunity, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me," Sun Rui said.
"That's right, you have experience, and you even saved Zhao Lei, so what's your opinion?" Yang Jian asked.
Sun Rui had used the power of the vengeful spirit many times before, but there was no sign of the vengeful spirit resurrecting. In fact, after so much time had passed, his condition was surprisingly good. Therefore, Yang Jian speculated that Sun Rui and he were on the same path.
"We can give it a try. Even if problems arise, we can solve them together," Sun Rui said.
"Whatever you need to do, I can help. After all, Zhao Lei is my classmate," Liu Qi said. Sun Rui had explained the situation to him beforehand.
"Follow me." Yang Jian nodded.
Then his ghostly eyes opened, a flash of red light appeared, and the three people in the office disappeared.
Guanjiang Residential Area, safe outside.
"Zhao Lei is inside, but he's in a special condition right now, so we're keeping him in the safe house to prevent any problems," Yang Jian explained. "I'm about to begin my experiment, so you can stay a little further away."
Sun Rui and Liu Qi disappeared.
Yang Jian knew this was Sun Rui's doing, so he wasn't too surprised. Instead, he stepped forward alone and opened the door to the safe house.
At this moment, Zhao Lei was lying in a golden coffin, with many instruments attached to his body to monitor his vital signs.
His eyes were closed, like a person who was asleep. Without the help of supernatural forces, Zhao Lei would slowly die in this state.
Without hesitation, Yang Jian took out the ghost newspaper. He wanted to see if Zhao Lei's memory was faulty, otherwise, if he were to be resurrected, he might not be a human, but a ghost.
The blood-stained newspaper was pasted on Zhao Lei's face, and his face was easily removed.
At this moment, a line of crooked handwriting appeared on the newspaper:
I hate Yang Jian! Find Yang Jian! Kill Yang Jian!
Yang Jian stared at this line of text in silence. This was a false memory that Zhao Lei had forcibly implanted in him when he was fighting the newspaper ghost, knowing that he couldn't control it, hoping to use Yang Jian to deal with the ghost...
"Perhaps, we were just a little short of success, but ordinary people are still too fragile..." Yang Jian muttered to himself.
How could an ordinary person possibly deal with a vengeful ghost? In the end, after the newspaper ghost read Zhao Lei's memories, it discovered that the memory was false and hurriedly escaped from him and Sun Rui.
Yang Jian deleted the altered memories from the newspaper and then put his face back on.
He took out two golden boxes, one containing a smiling ghost face and the other a weeping ghost face. He believed that placing these two vengeful ghosts on Zhao Lei's face would create a conflict with the rules of murder.
If nothing unexpected happens, the two vengeful ghosts will die, and Zhao Lei will not only be able to come back to life, but also become a powerful ghost tamer.
The trial has begun!
