Jiang Shangbai's coffin nail plan has been temporarily shelved, and Professor Wang's ghost painting plan is currently requisitioned, but this is only one of the options. Cao Yanhua hopes that others can continue to think of other plans, even as an alternative, so that
You won’t be unable to deal with problems once they arise.
However, the specific implementation method of the plan was not discussed at the meeting. It is estimated that a group of think tanks behind the headquarters will give satisfactory answers, and no one else needs to worry about this.
But no matter how good the plan is, it still needs people to implement it.
It is estimated that a few more unlucky ghost masters will be assigned tasks later.
Yang Jian firmly believed that he would not be involved in this mission, because if the headquarters sent him again, he would be openly bullying others.
The meeting almost ended around noon.
"Today's first meeting is here for now, but the matter is not over yet. According to normal procedures, there will be a second meeting tomorrow. I hope everyone is ready." Cao Yanhua looked at the time and then announced this.
The meeting is temporarily over.
But at the end, he named Yang Jian again: "But before the meeting ends, I want to severely criticize Yang Jian."
"Yang Jian fought with Gao Zhiqiang in the rest area, which directly caused the resurrection of Gao Zhiqiang's ghost, causing the headquarters to lose a top ghost controller. This is an unforgivable and huge mistake. If it were normal, it would definitely be severely punished.
"
When he said this, he looked angry.
"Sure enough, we're here." Yang Jian looked at Feng Quan standing aside.
It's really what he said, he is going to be named and criticized.
But this is just a formality. Smart people know that it is impossible for the headquarters to do anything to Yang Jian. It is just a personal show for Cao Yanhua to let the headquarters save some face and let others know that the headquarters
Yang Jian can still be suppressed, so don't mess around.
"This Yang Jian is a fool. Is he unaware of this?" Someone secretly guessed.
It would be interesting if Yang Jian was angered at this time and rushed forward to kill Cao Yanhua.
Obviously.
Let them be disappointed.
Yang Jian sat there motionless, not at war with Jiang Shangbai and the others before, as if he had not heard Cao Yanhua's accusations and criticisms.
After Cao Yanhua criticized for a while, he turned to say: "Although the consequences caused by Yang Jian this time were extremely serious and had a very bad impact, he also stopped Gao Zhiqiang from bullying the female operator at the headquarters, and his behavior was out of justice.
Maintained law and order within the headquarters..."
"So the punishment the headquarters imposed on Yang Jian this time was salary, the golden quota was halved, and he was given a demerit once. This will not happen next time."
"What? Just a fine and a demerit?" Jiang Shangbai's face turned dark when he heard such a trigger.
You have to at least bring something out for this formality. What does this fine count for? Is the Ghost Controller short of money? Besides, demerits will have no impact on Yang Jian. He has already nominated the captain, and if nothing else happens, he will be
It doesn't matter whether he is selected or not. If Cao Yanhua is triggered like this, he might as well be given three drinks as a penalty.
Maybe Yang Jian could get drunk and fall asleep for a day, but it would give him a headache all night.
Gao Zhiqiang really died in vain.
What an injustice.
Jiang Shangbai sighed secretly in his heart.
A ghost controller with great potential was killed alive in the headquarters just because he couldn't control his little brother, and no one even complained. The most important thing is that Gao Zhiqiang still made a mistake and failed.
It's not a big mistake. Normally, it's just a verbal warning, and nothing will happen at all.
He knew that the headquarters did not want Gao Zhiqiang to die, and it was already too late to stop him. Yang Jian was so ruthless and dark that he killed the person directly.
Everyone is dead, so the headquarters can't severely punish another top ghost controller just because of a dead person, right?
What's more, others still act from the perspective of justice. If the headquarters really punishes Yang Jian severely for this, it will not only force Yang Jian, a top ghost controller, to leave, but also indirectly tell others that it is justified to make mistakes and wrong to help.
Once this is started, the impact will be huge.
Cao Yanhua couldn't be so stupid, so he had no choice but to deal with it this way.
"Is this Yang Jian really stupid?" Jiang Shangbai felt sad at the moment and began to wonder if Yang Jian had considered this before.
If that's the case, then this guy is a bit scary.
"Okay, the meeting is over now. In addition, Yang Jian will be left alone for a while." Cao Yanhua added after the meeting was over.
Yang Jian's expression changed, and he probably understood Cao Yanhua's purpose of finding him alone.
"Brother Leg, why is the headquarters looking for you alone? Isn't it because they want to infiltrate you?" Feng Quan on the side asked curiously.
Yang Jian glanced at him and said, "Can't you think on the bright side? Maybe the headquarters wants to reward me alone."
"You killed people in the headquarters and almost got into a fight at the meeting. The headquarters will reward you? I don't believe it." Feng Quan shook his head.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Feng Quandao: "Then just wait. I'll take the first step. If anything happens, please contact me in time. I should be in Dajing City in the past few days."
"Okay." Yang Jian nodded.
Soon, everyone else left here one after another, leaving only Cao Yanhua, Wang Xiaoming, and the old man named Qin.
"Yang Jian, do you know why I left you alone?" Cao Yanhua asked after seeing the others leaving.
Yang Jian said: "Aren't you getting overtime pay?"
Cao Yanhua's mouth twitched when he heard this: "You remember this very clearly, but this is just one of the things. There is a more important thing that I want to talk to you about alone, but this is not the place to talk. Come with me.
, everyone talked while walking."
After speaking, he gestured and pointed to a small mobility scooter parked not far away.
"Okay, as long as the deputy minister doesn't default on his debt, he can do anything." Yang Jian said nonchalantly.
soon.
A group of four people got into the car, driven by a staff member, and slowly left here.
On the way, Cao Yanhua said: "Actually, I shouldn't talk to you about this matter at this time, but if I don't tell you in advance, I will wait until short notice for fear that you will misunderstand, so I thought about it and decided to discuss it with you alone now. Of course, you also
You can object, the headquarters is just providing a suggestion and will not force you to make a decision."
"When you say that, it sounds like you want to sell me out?"
Yang Jian looked at him and said: "Usually when people say there is no force, they often have no choice. Am I right? Professor Wang."
Wang Xiaoming didn't say anything and was pretending to be stupid again.
Cao Yanhua said, "This is a decision I made, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Since you don't like to beat around the bush, I'll get straight to the point. In fact, what the headquarters means is that I hope you give up this selection of captain."
, refused to become captain."
Yang Jian frowned slightly when he heard this: "What's the reason?"
"I can't say, but if you agree, the headquarters will compensate you, and I believe you will be satisfied." Cao Yanhua said.
"I heard that the selection of captains is actually a competition of interests from all parties. Behind every captain is a representative of interests. Some people have already been pre-decided, so I, a high school student with no power, became a
The object to be sacrificed?" Yang Jian asked.
Cao Yanhua said seriously: "No, if you insist on participating in the captain plan, you will definitely become the captain based on your resume. It's just that you are not suitable for this position. But what you said makes some sense. Behind every captain, there is indeed a representative
There are some conflicts of interest, but the most important thing is not this, but balance."
"Headquarters needs captains to stabilize the situation. Whether it is supernatural events, private ghost controllers, or local public security, they all need their assistance, and only top ghost controllers can do this... You
It does meet the requirements, but some people are more suitable. If you quit, the person responsible for replacing you will be Li Jun."
Yang Jian waved his hand and said: "I don't understand what the situation is, what is suitable or not, if you want me to quit, what price can you afford?"
His need for captain is indeed not strong. After becoming captain, he may have great rights and resources, but the troubles are not small. If he can get tangible benefits, let alone withdraw from the captain plan, it will not matter even if he withdraws from the headquarters.
"As long as you agree, the headquarters will try its best to meet your requirements." Cao Yanhua said, "I will take you to another place next."
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly. He didn't speak. He just sat in the car and watched the car drive to an air-raid shelter in the headquarters, and extended all the way down, as if it was going deep underground.
Taking advantage of this time, he said to Mr. Qin next to him: "How old is the old man this year? It is still rare to see ghost masters as old as the old man."
Mr. Qin turned to smile and did not respond.
"If you want to ask anything, you can ask me directly. Mr. Qin has a special status and there are some things that he is not convenient to disclose." Wang Xiaoming said at this time.
"You are really annoying," Yang Jian said, "You probably know what I want to know, so I'll just tell you. How much do you know about the Republic of China?"
He did not believe that Wang Xiaoming's status and information channels would not allow him to access some previous information.
really.
Wang Xiaoming was not surprised at all, but calmly said: "It seems that you have noticed it too, which surprises me a bit, so you want to ask Mr. Qin, after all, he is from that era."
"Have you done any research in this area?" Yang Jian asked.
"It's just another research topic, but I'm not following this project. After all, I'm not very good at archeology." Wang Xiaoming said, "But I still knew a little bit about it during the research, but it was just for confidentiality purposes.
I can’t reveal it to you.”
"With my level, I won't be able to get any information at all, right?" Yang Jian said.
Wang Xiaoming was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's start with the ghost coffin I recently studied. Putting aside its own supernatural power, the ghost coffin is not modern in terms of workmanship, shape, and craftsmanship. It should be
It was in the style of coffins from the Republic of China period. Then I researched the styles of some weird things, and there is no doubt that everything points to that era, which is the Republic of China period you just mentioned."
"This photo should be familiar to you."
Suddenly, he took out his mobile phone again, opened a photo, and handed it to Yang Jian.
The photo is very familiar. It was taken through a glass window. In the photo, there is an old man wearing a long gown and covered with corpse spots. His eyes are gray and his expression is numb. There is something strange and weird about him.
"It's the photo I saw in an online forum before. This old man is...a knocker." Yang Jian's expression condensed.
He also has this photo in his mobile phone, but with the headquarters' methods, it is not difficult to get this photo.
"I collected some photos of ghosts." Wang Xiaoming took back his mobile phone and said; "This is the image of a ghost codenamed Knocker. You should be familiar with it, but what I want to show you is not the appearance of the Knocker, but this one.
A ghost’s dressing style.”
Yang Jiandao: "You want to say that the person knocking on the door is also an old man from the Republic of China?"
"obviously."
Wang Xiaoming said: "This kind of black long-sleeved clothes is the style of that era. There is a lot of evidence similar to this, but most of them point to the same period. But I am not very interested in the period, so I didn't spend too much money."
Time to study.”
"What? You know the possible origin of the ghost's resurrection, but you don't dig deeper?" Yang Jian said in surprise.
"Because it's not necessary."
Wang Xiaoming said: "This is just an answer, but it can't change the result, so I didn't waste time on it. However, Professor Bai is more interested in this matter. He is a historian and litterateur, and he has been following up on this matter.
.”
Yang Jiandao: "Have you ever thought that after knowing the truth, you might be able to completely solve the current supernatural incident?"
"I have thought about it, but it is unrealistic. For example, ghosts have appeared during the Republic of China, and ghost controllers have also appeared. But judging from the current situation, it is obvious that people in that era failed. Although I don't know
What method did they use to temporarily deal with all the supernatural incidents, but that is not important, what is important is that we should deal with today's day when supernatural incidents are becoming more and more frequent." Wang Xiaoming said seriously.
"I don't think about the past, I only think about the future. You should do the same. Finding the answer is of little significance. Solving the problem is the top priority."
"This guy..." When Yang Jian heard Wang Xiaoming say this, he had the urge to jump up and punch him.
Although he could know the truth, Wang Xiaoming was not interested at all.
"If there were real ghost masters during the Republic of China, it's impossible for them all to disappear. There will definitely be remnants."
Yang Jian said: "You can know the truth if you find them. You are not interested, but I am."
Wang Xiaoming added: "That's true, but unfortunately, Mr. Qin is not your target."
"Why?"
"He was indeed born in the Republic of China, but he was an orphan with no parents, no relatives, and even no name. He only knew that he was adopted by a family named Qin, but unfortunately, that family adopted him when he was five years old.
He died, Mr. Qin didn't even know the names of his adoptive father and adoptive mother, he only remembered the surname, so he did not enter the circle of ghost controllers during the Republic of China." Wang Xiaoming said.
Mr. Qin on the side smiled: "In these turbulent times, it's good to be able to survive. There's no need to pay so much attention."
Yang Jian's heart suddenly sank.
If this is the case, then the clues and answers are lost here.
However, Wang Xiaoming went on to say: "But the difference between Mr. Qin and other ghost controllers is that he is a born ghost controller."
"What do you mean?" Yang Jian looked at him again after hearing this.
"It means that Mr. Qin was a ghost controller when he was in his mother's womb. He is a different kind of ghost controller. The ghost in his body has merged with him and fallen into a state of eternal death. If you are not very good
If you understand, you can directly think that Mr. Qin is a ghost." Wang Xiaoming said.
His voice echoed in the deep corridor. There was no one here, but the news revealed made Yang Jian stunned.
"How is this possible?" Yang Jian almost stood up suddenly at this moment.
A born ghost master?
Were you already one with ghosts when you were still in your mother's womb?
I suspected that I was a ghost.
Wang Xiaoming said, "Nothing is impossible. If you can make Li Gui die, it shouldn't be difficult to do this, right? But my guess is that Mr. Qin's mother used some special method when she was still pregnant with him.
Let the ghost fall into a state of death in the fetus. As long as it is not revived, the baby will be born to control the ghost. Of course, there is a risk of failure. If it fails, then it will be a ghost fetus."
"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking. Maybe he is special and cannot be copied, but I have to admit that this method of controlling ghosts is the most perfect. I got inspiration from Mr. Qin and started researching it, because
I think Mr. Qin’s existence is a direction guide.”
Yang Jian stared at him and said, "So you gave birth to such a terrifying existence as Guizhan?"
"There are risks in all experiments, especially uncontrollable risk factors like ghosts, but if it succeeds, I can use ghost coffins to breed more ghost controllers like Mr. Qin, and in the end, supernatural events will happen
I have the end in my hands." Wang Xiaoming said slowly.
It turns out that this is the truth why he wants to get the ghost coffin.
It must be said that Wang Xiaoming has a long-term vision and great ambitions. If successful, he can really affect the global trend. No wonder the headquarters regards him as a national treasure.
"You took too big a step and hit your balls."
Yang Jian said solemnly: "Now ghosts have become everyone's nightmare."
"No, that's just a temporary danger. The ghost problem can always be solved, but the hope for the future is the most important thing. After the ghost coffin experiment failed, I found a new direction. It was you who gave me new inspiration.
You should continue the previous transaction with me, I need that thing, but in exchange, you can take something here and take it away, and you will not suffer any loss."
Wang Xiaoming changed his words and stared at the human skin paper in Yang Jian's hand.
Of course, he still didn't know about the existence of human skin paper, but he knew that Yang Jian had something very special in his hand, which was suspected to be able to provide some terrible information and guidance.
This is very useful to him.
"Take something to take away?" Only then did Yang Jian realize that he had arrived at an underground base by car.
"where is this place?"
Cao Yanhua said: "Detention, a place where special things are stored."
Yang Jian's expression changed when he saw this: "The ghosts that have been successfully imprisoned are placed here?"
"No, it's just some special items that are not very dangerous. The place where the ghost is kept is a secret among secrets. Even I don't know it. This place is already the limit of my authority. As I promised you before, you will
You have made great contributions to saving Professor Wang and a group of ghost masters from the ghost incident. I allow you to take away one thing here, which is what I promised you before. But if you are willing to give up your position as captain, I allow you to take away
Take away two things. If you are willing to complete the transaction with Professor Wang, I allow you to take away three things."
Cao Yanhua said very seriously, and for the first time, he allowed Yang Jian to take away three things. This has never happened before in the headquarters. If it were other ghost masters, they would not know the secrets here at all. Even if they knew
If you don’t even have the right to apply, you will be rejected directly.
From this, one can imagine how valuable Yang Jian is at the headquarters.
Special weird thing?
Yang Jian's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of things like ghost cabinets, human skin, and coffin nails.
Sure enough, the headquarters also collects such things.
But Cao Yanhua has hidden it deeply enough. If the situation hadn't gotten worse, he probably wouldn't have allowed these things to leak out.
After all, weird things always carry some unknown and terrifying risks.
"Let me take you to see it." Cao Yanhua walked down the driveway.
Yang Jian now understood why Mr. Qin wanted to accompany him.
It is estimated that Cao Yanhua was also worried that he would take advantage of his wealth and ransack the place.
Now that Mr. Qin is following him, Yang Jian really doesn't dare to mess around. Although this old man knows about what's going on, he knows nothing about ghosts.
However, Yang Jian believes that this Mr. Qin is definitely not something he can fight against now.
Without enough confidence, how could the headquarters only bring Mr. Qin here?
Of course, Yang Jian had no intention of ransacking this place. He would not do such a stupid thing that would offend the public.
"What are the supernatural objects collected by the headquarters?" He was now particularly curious about this matter.
