N-A-A Chapter 37 First Meeting with Wang Xiaoming
Chapter 37 First Meeting with Wang Xiaoming
The sunlight shone down, illuminating Sun Rui and his group, dispelling the gloom that had shrouded Dachang City for nearly half a month.
Sun Rui wasn't worried about what would happen next; headquarters was very concerned about this matter and there wouldn't be any problems.
However, before headquarters takes over, the three of them will have to guard the golden chest for the time being.
"You guys think I'm a hero in Dachang City, so what benefits can I ask headquarters for?" Zhang Han said, sitting on the ground. Although he didn't contribute much this time, he still played a crucial role.
"If only headquarters were that generous, you might end up with just a verbal commendation," Sun Rui joked.
"No way, we're the first team in the world to successfully imprison an S-class ghost. We haven't been able to solve the ghost paintings overseas or other paranormal events," Zhang Han said.
"That's hard to say. After all, you're not the head of headquarters yet. Once this matter is over, if you want to join headquarters, it shouldn't be a problem," Sun Rui said.
"I don't want to join headquarters anymore. Dealing with paranormal events every day will only lead to my death sooner." Zhang Han shook his head. After this incident, he completely gave up the idea of joining headquarters.
At this moment, Yan Li spoke up, "Sun Rui, do you know Yang Jian's current situation?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I sensed something when I used the Ghost Domain to travel before," Sun Rui said.
"Can you take me to him? I have some personal questions I want to ask him," Yan Li said.
"It will probably take some time. His condition is a bit unusual; he looks like he's dead, but no supernatural events have occurred. Wait two more days and see how things go," Sun Rui said. At least they have to wait until he leaves Dachang City. If these people disturb Yang Jian and cause the balance to go out of control, then it will be another S-level supernatural event.
"Okay." Yan Li didn't ask too many questions. After all, Sun Rui saved him and was a good person, so he could listen to what Sun Rui said.
"How are you feeling? If not, I can make you a custom coffin," Sun Rui said, looking at Yan Li's body. The body he had created was already dead, and there were even some signs of lividity.
Yan Li retracted his previous thought; Sun Rui was not an easy person to get along with either.
"Not yet, but could you please return the box containing the ghost blood? I'll owe you a favor; I might need it to maintain my balance later," Yan Li said.
"Here you go. As for this favor, we'll talk about it when you're alive," Sun Rui said.
Yan Li saved him a coffin nail, which was a great benefit.
Keeping the Ghost Blood for Sun Rui isn't really of much use. After all, that thing isn't a supernatural object, but a vengeful ghost. In his current state, controlling the Ghost Blood would only backfire.
"Okay, I might join headquarters later. Yang Jian is right, the information about ghost tamers in the civilian world is too limited," Yan Li sighed.
If he had been in charge before, no one would have dared to lay a hand on him, and he wouldn't have died from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost. At the same time, the method Yang Jian mentioned for prolonging life is in the hands of headquarters, and he needs this opportunity now.
"That's up to you. I won't interfere with your decision," Sun Rui said.
If Yan Li really fought desperately, he wouldn't be able to beat him, but Yan Li's balance was too fragile, and Sun Rui didn't have any good way to help him maintain it.
The conversation ended.
Soon, the group could see the convoy approaching from afar.
"It's a Ghost Tamer who's come. It seems headquarters is taking this very seriously!" Zhang Han exclaimed.
The two ignored him and walked down the wall with the golden box.
"It's so good to have a Ghost Domain..." Zhang Han glanced at it and slowly walked down the stairs.
Sun Rui and his companion stood in the middle of the road, carrying the gold box.
"The hungry ghost is here. You brought the tools, right? Weld the box shut first, and I can hand it in," Sun Rui said.
The convoy came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.
"So you're Sun Rui? Just hand over the starving ghost to us, and we'll handle it properly," Guo Fan said.
"Do whatever you want. Anyway, the starving ghost has escaped, so I won't lock him up again. You can lock him up yourself later." Sun Rui kicked the golden box to Guo Fan's feet.
Guo Fan's brow twitched. Sun Rui really wasn't afraid of the ghosts coming out.
But he still tried to appear calm and said, "If they really do escape, with so many Ghost Masters around, we can easily imprison them."
"I hope so." Sun Rui said, then turned to leave.
At this moment, Zhao Jianguo's voice rang out: "Guo Fan, say less!"
"Wait, you're Guo Fan?" Sun Rui stopped and looked at the pale-faced man in front of him, suddenly wanting to laugh.
"How come you've heard about me?" Guo Fan asked.
"I've heard about it," Sun Rui said, barely suppressing a laugh.
"You..." Guo Fan felt a little angry at his appearance, but he didn't dare to make a move in front of so many people.
"We're all colleagues, and we might have opportunities to work together in the future, so let's keep things harmonious," Zhao Jianguo said, trying to smooth things over. "Sun Rui still needs to hand over his work to you. Is it convenient for you?"
"It's not very convenient. When will I get my overtime pay? Oh, and I also need to see Wang Xiaoming," Sun Rui said.
"Sure, Professor Wang would also like to meet you," Zhao Jianguo said, without answering the first part of Sun Rui's sentence.
"You're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?" Sun Rui asked, squinting.
"No, only Professor Wang's laboratory can produce ghost candles, so you can talk to Professor Wang in person," Zhao Jianguo said.
"That's fine then. Anyway, I have a recording. You don't want all the Ghost Tamers in the world to know that you broke your promise, do you?" Sun Rui shrugged and said indifferently.
Zhao Jianguo wiped his sweat. How come Sun Rui is just like Yang Jian, the kind of person who won't act until he sees a clear benefit?
"Ahem, seal the box properly first, we'll go see Professor Wang in a bit," Zhao Jianguo said.
The gold chest was quickly sealed, and an outer gold coffin was added to prevent any damage to the box.
Zhang Han also arrived at this time.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Professor Wang."
Sun Rui and the other two got into the car and headed towards Guanjiang Residential Area.
While driving, Zhao Jianguo would glance at the rearview mirror from time to time because he was very curious. Yan Li was clearly dead according to the headquarters' intelligence, but he was actually resurrected by Sun Rui, which was enough to overturn the understanding of too many people.
Soon, the group got off the car at the sales office of Guanjiang Community, where Professor Wang was waiting for them, and Guihuo Li Jun was also present.
In the lobby on the first floor, Wang Shanshan lay quietly on the ground, not breathing. She had been dead for several days, but there were no signs of rigor mortis on her body.
A young man in a white coat was standing to the side, deep in thought. Sun Rui recognized him at a glance as Wang Xiaoming.
"You're Wang Xiaoming?" Sun Rui asked.
"Yes, that's me. You must be Sun Rui. I've seen your file." Wang Xiaoming pushed up his glasses.
"When are you going to give me back the two ghost candles you owe me?"
"No rush. The lab's production capacity is limited. I'll apply for it for you as soon as we have more," Wang Xiaoming said. Zhao Jianguo had already told him about this before. Using two ghost candles to solve an S-level paranormal event was a worthwhile deal.
"I hope you're not playing me, or you'll be in big trouble," Sun Rui said calmly.
"Sun Rui, this is not your Dahan City!" Li Jun stepped forward and said.
"It's alright. If I fail to meet your conditions, you're welcome to come and kill me anytime." Wang Xiaoming didn't care about any of this.
Sun Rui nodded. He could still trust Wang Xiaoming's promise, after all, his younger brother Wang Xiaoqiang had died in front of him before, and he hadn't tried to kill Yang Jian.
"Now let's talk about Yan Li's situation. I remember he should have been resurrected as a vengeful ghost."
