At least it's more than a million. In a super first-tier city, there are at least tens of millions.
Even though Xinhai City is not a first-tier city, it still has a large population, and the impact of the supernatural incident at Ghost Lake cannot be that small.
Even in Dachang City where Yang Jian was located, the number of people who still chose to stay in Dachang City after the incident of the Starving Ghosts was not a small number, so Su Yuan made it clear that he had no way to refuse.
It is true that there will be a tall man holding up the sky when it falls, but when you are the tall man, it means there is no way to retreat.
Before, he was counting on the headquarters to send captains to deal with the ghost lake time. After all, that was the case in the original book. But now, maybe because of his mess, some things have changed. At least among the captains, he solved the ghost problem by himself.
And they also took the ghost messenger away, and now Wei Jing was gone, replaced by another person, and then Cao Yang was killed. In addition, the captain Yinzi from the ghost post office was also confirmed to be missing in the ghost lake incident.
, this means that the actions of both captains failed.
In this case, who else can we expect?
As for a person like me who hangs around under the nose of the headquarters all day long, it is completely false to say that he is not targeted.
To be honest, if Ye Zhen's secondary disease wasn't too strong and more difficult to deal with, maybe the headquarters wouldn't even let Ye Zhen go.
Therefore, it is normal for the headquarters to choose to come to us.
Another point is that if the Guihu matter is not dealt with, when the situation becomes more serious, his Xinhai City will also be unsafe.
Therefore, whether it was the headquarters or Wang Xiaoming, they made it clear that they hoped Su Yuan would not refuse.
Su Yuan also knew that he didn't have much choice, but he didn't want to agree so easily.
That would make him very cheap, so it became his style to raise prices from the ground up.
"Well, since you sincerely beg me, I will mercifully agree. However, your price is too low. I want double the reward, two boxes of ghost candles."
, two supernatural items, or give me two hundred tons of gold."
Although he has no use for ghost candles, Su Yuan is not alone now. He also has a group of younger brothers following him, so the more of these supernatural items are naturally the better. After all, they are also consumables and will be consumed sooner or later.
But to Cao Yanhua's ears, it was like a lion talking loudly.
This is not only about tearing a piece of flesh from the headquarters' body, but also about sucking blood from the headquarters' body!
"Su Yuan, this is a special situation. You have to change your habit of raising prices on the ground."
Cao Yanhua was not angry, but patiently persuaded him.
Whether it is ghost candles or gold, the headquarters' expenses for these things are also very huge. After all, there are so many supernatural events1 that there will always be times when there is not enough.
Su Yuan shook his head and did not want to give in: "Things that can be solved with money are not problems. Since the overall situation is the top priority, it is worth it for Vice Minister Cao to spend more money. In addition, I just said a few days ago
I've solved a big problem for you by settling the issue of the ghost post office. I haven't even asked you for money yet. You can't let me go to work and work in vain. You don't want to pay for female tickets."
Cao Yanhua said: "Ten Ghost Candles is the greatest support that the headquarters can currently provide. I dare not let you come to the headquarters to talk without sincerity."
Su Yuan rolled his eyes. Cao Yanhua was so stingy that he simply stopped him and looked directly at Wang Xiaoming: "Don't waste time, just talk directly. If we can't continue talking, there's no need to come to me."
, this kind of bargaining is not suitable for us, and looking at you, you won’t live long like this, so if you have any good things, hurry up and take it out.”
Wang Xiaoming was indifferent and just said calmly: "It is true that the number of ghost candles cannot continue to increase. The deputy minister did not lie to you. Ten ghost candles is the maximum price that the headquarters can bear, but I can personally give you a financial support.
You shouldn’t be interested in something and you won’t be lacking it, so..."
After saying that, he gestured and something was placed in front of Su Yuan.
It was a stick of waxy incense that looked like human skin. It was exactly the same as the incense offered to Bodhisattvas in the temple, except that this stick was thicker and had signs of being burned. The other end was a little burnt, and it smelled faintly.
It has a burnt smell, I don't know what it is made of.
"Ghost scent??"
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought of this thing. He also had this thing, but he rarely used it. The one Wang Xiaoming took out in front of him was obviously much larger than the one he signed.
emmmm......Is it the enhanced version of Guixiang?
Yang Jian, on the other hand, looked at the ghost incense and said nothing. This thing reminded him of the incense sticks inserted in front of the tomb in the ancient house not long ago, but the two were definitely different things.
Because this yellow incense is artificially made, there are obvious traces of processing.
"What is the use of this incense?"
Looking at the incense in front of him, Su Yuan asked curiously.
Wang Xiaoming said: "I named it ghost incense. After it is lit, it will emit a fragrance that only ghosts can smell. The ghosts who smell the fragrance will stop their actions and fall into a deep sleep. The sleeping ghosts will not
It doesn't matter if you attack anyone, even if it's an ordinary person who triggers the ghost's killing pattern."
"Oh~~Not bad, how long will it take for it to take effect?"
It is a good thing to make ghosts stop moving. It is much more useful than ghost candles. If it is ignited during a supernatural event and makes the ghost fall into a deep sleep, it can imprison a ghost without any cost.
Such incredible things are considered to be very rare and precious, even supernatural things that have just been researched not long ago.
Wang Xiaoming said: "Not sure, it depends on how scary the ghost is. It may take ten seconds, it may take a minute, it may take half an hour. The number of ghosts around is different, and the effect time is also different. The more ghosts there are, the more likely it will take effect."
The slower it takes effect, but this stick of incense is conservatively estimated to burn for three hours, which is enough to stabilize the situation."
"If used in conjunction with the Ghost Candle, it may be possible to imprison a ghost without taking any risks."
"not bad."
Su Yuan said, picked up the ghost scent and pondered it for a moment, then slowly put it into his pocket. Cao Yanhua on the side couldn't help but his eyelids jumped when he saw this scene, obviously feeling distressed.
“Can this thing be mass-produced now?”
Wang Xiaoming shook his head: "It's very difficult. In terms of value, this stick of incense is worth more than ten ghost candles. Of course, the main reason is that I don't have much time, and I have other things to be busy with.
