The captain's plan is not the focus of this meeting, the focus this time is the ghost painting incident.
Another S-level supernatural incident that was extended from the ghost incident. Moreover, this ghost painting incident has a precedent of outbreaks abroad. It once destroyed a top foreign team of ghost controllers, causing unimaginable consequences.
The number of deaths is so high that people still have graphic phobia in some places abroad.
Cao Yanhua looked solemn and motioned to the staff.
Immediately, the slide turned into a data map, which contained all the intelligence information about the ghost painting incident.
"As for the occurrence of this ghost painting incident, the main source is the mission plan of the ghost painting incident. Professor Wang proposed to attract the ghost paintings to the suburbs of the city to suppress the ghost domain of the ghost painting, thus completely solving the ghost painting incident.
"Cao Yanhua pointed to the picture and said: "The plan was successful."
"The ghost land where the ghosts live is completely covered by ghost paintings, and the ghosts disappear..."
"But there were some mistakes at the end of the plan. The ghost-inducing plan implemented by Chen Yi, Zhong Shan, and Guo Fan did not completely lead the five ghosts from the ghost painting to the designated place. When the ghost candles were replaced midway, one of them
The two ghosts disappeared."
After saying that, he pointed to another photo.
The photo showed a dark road, with five strange figures standing there in the middle of the road, seemingly walking this way.
The figures of these five people are very familiar, a bit like Li Jun, Su Fan, Liu San, A Hong, and Xu Yiping.
No, it's not thinking, it's their image.
"So, this painting can change the image of a ghost? It can become any one of us?" Cao Yang raised his eyebrows and pointed to the center of the problem.
"It looks like it's correct." Someone agreed.
"If you just change the image, it should be easy to detect. After all, ghosts and people are different, and the weird feeling cannot be hidden no matter what." Jiang Shangbai frowned.
"Maybe it's not as simple as we think. Only after real contact can we understand why ghosts change their images and why five ghosts can come out. The ghost painting should be just one, and the source ghost can only be one." Some people are also confused.
Got up.
Cao Yanhua continued: "The two ghosts who disappeared are Su Fan and Liu San. I don't know if this is key information. You just need to remember it. In addition, a few days after these two ghosts disappeared,
The ghost painting incident appeared in the urban area."
"Here are some photos of ghost paintings we have collected so far. You can take a look."
After saying that, the slide flashed and four photos of ghost paintings appeared on the screen.
Each ghost painting is basically the same. It has an old carved frame with mottled red paint. The blurry oil painting depicts a woman with blurred facial features and wearing red European-style clothes.
, the white hands look out of place with the surrounding painting styles.
"The backgrounds are different." Yang Jian's expression changed slightly when he saw these four ghost paintings.
Although every ghost painting looks similar, with the image of a woman appearing on it, the background of the oil painting behind that woman is completely different.
The background of an oil painting is a high-rise building hidden in the darkness. The blurred windows can vaguely reveal some unidentifiable figures. Judging from the outline and appearance of the building, it looks like a metropolis.
high-end apartment complex.
The background of the second oil painting is also dark and gloomy, but the things in the painting have changed. It is a park lined with trees, and there are still a few pedestrians standing vaguely on the path of the park.
The background style of the third oil painting is equally dark and strange, but the painting is not a community or a park, but a school. There is a dormitory building occupying most of the space in the school, and other buildings have become a dark place.
The outline in it cannot be seen clearly.
The third oil painting is a busy urban highway with many vehicles jammed together and many high-rise buildings around it.
"I think you should have discovered that the backgrounds of these four oil paintings are different. According to my comparison, the background buildings behind them should be Shangfeng Community, Forest Park, Dajing University, and... Tianqiao Avenue
.”
Cao Yanhua said: "And these four places are all places where troubles have occurred, and ghost paintings and murders have occurred."
"The backgrounds in different paintings, the same ghosts, and the paintings that keep appearing. These are all like a mystery, especially the last point, how do ghost paintings appear out of thin air? This is the most important question that needs to be clarified at the moment."
"It's not that easy to figure out. If we can figure it out clearly, the losses abroad will not be so serious. I think others have discussed this issue countless times." Jiang Shangbai said, shaking his head slightly.
"I agree with what Jiang Shangbai said. I am trying to analyze the situation of ghost paintings here based on some fragmentary clues. I think there is almost no possibility." Chen Yi also nodded and said, "Yang Jian,
I heard that you handled the ghost painting incident last night, and the ghost painting incident you handled was different from the one we handled. At that time, the ghost painting formed a ghost domain and covered two floors."
"Have you ever had contact with ghosts in ghost paintings? Why don't you tell me your opinion."
At this time everyone looked at Yang Jian.
After all, it is very likely that they will face the ghost painting incident next, and they don't want to miss any clues. It is most appropriate for Yang Jian to speak out at this time.
After this time, Yang Jian is probably less willing to share information.
Cao Yanhua's expression changed, and he also looked at Yang Jian: "Yang Jian, you have some experience, you can share it."
Yang Jian was very calm: "There's nothing to say. It's similar to other supernatural events. The ghost realm affects the surroundings, and ghosts wander in the ghost realm... The only thing worth noting is that in the ghost realm, ghosts
Paintings and ghosts are separate. If you want to imprison you, you must first find the hidden ghost painting, otherwise the ghost cannot be solved, because even if you solve the ghost first, new ghosts will come out of the ghost painting again."
"So painting is the source."
"Restart?" Feng Quan on the side said in surprise.
"It's not a restart. It's different from a restart. A ghost painting represents a ghost. The painting will not change, but the ghost inside will continue to appear, similar to... resurrection." Yang Jian thought for a while and said.
.
Restart is much scarier than this. Restart is the restart of the ghost itself, which means you have to deal with it again, but the ghost painting does not need it. You can completely avoid the ghosts inside, find the ghost painting, and then find a way to imprison it. The difficulty is still relatively high.
low.
"Yang Jian, how were you imprisoned?" Li Jun asked.
Yang Jian did not hide anything: "First deal with the ghosts wandering in the ghost domain, and then imprison the ghost paintings before the ghosts come out of the ghost paintings. This is my method."
"In other words, if you want to imprison the ghost paintings, you need at least two people to cooperate? One person will deal with the ghosts, and the other will find the ghost paintings and wait there for the opportunity?" Li Leping said slowly.
"Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with this, but this is just an ordinary ghost painting. Where is the source?"
Yang Jian said: "The source is definitely not as simple as imagined, but then again, who are you? Why don't I know you at all?"
"My name is Li Leping. Just remember my name. As for me, you can't remember me." Li Leping said.
Li Leping?
Yang Jian turned his head. He indeed only remembered this name in his mind, and he seemed to have been in contact with this person during the last meeting, but the memory of this person... did not exist at all.
Someone who cannot be remembered?
It's really weird.
Yang Jian glanced at him again, but in a blink of an eye he forgot about it again, and this was not the first time.
I guess I won't recognize him next time I see him, unless he takes the initiative to say his name.
"Then the main purpose of this meeting is to discuss together how to solve the ghost paintings?" someone asked.
Cao Yanhua said: "That's right, three days. I give everyone three days. No matter what method is used, even if it means turning the whole city upside down, we must find the ghost paintings and confirm the source. If anyone can do it,
The headquarters can satisfy his request which is not excessive."
"If anyone can directly solve the ghost painting incident, then I can make an exception and promote him to be the candidate for this captain's plan."
Three days?
When Yang Jian heard this deadline, his expression couldn't help but move.
He previously told Cao Yanhua that he would only stay in this city for five days. Now two days have passed and he will return to Dachang City in three days. By then, everything here will have nothing to do with him.
But this happened at this juncture.
It seems that my past three days will not be too easy.
However, Cao Yanhua's deadline was not deliberately set for Yang Jian, but a decision he made after thinking and evaluation.
Because if the ghost painting incident cannot be solved in a short time, it will definitely have a huge impact.
In addition, many people cannot stay here for a long time and will have to return to their respective cities sooner or later, so three days is almost the limit for most people. Any longer time will also cause inconvenience to other cities.
"Solve the ghost painting incident and become captain directly?" Many people's eyes flickered, seeming to have a little thought.
They already understood the captain's power during the discussion just now.
Very tempting indeed.
It governs a large area and dozens of large and small cities. You can form your own team of ghost controllers. At the same time, the headquarters also unconditionally supports some key materials and gives priority to ensuring the survival of the captain...
It is impossible for anyone with a little bit of ambition not to be tempted.
But thinking about the difficulty and complexity of this incident, I shook my head secretly.
In order to solve the ghost painting, so many top ghost controllers were summoned. Although they were cautious, the weirdness and danger of the thing was self-evident.
If you're not careful, your team will be wiped out in minutes.
"If you don't have any questions, then Professor Wang will be responsible for explaining the relevant information about the ghost painting incident." Cao Yanhua said.
At this time, Wang Xiaoming, who looked decadent and a bit haggard, raised his head slightly. He seemed to have been sleeping the whole time before.
"The files on the ghost painting incident have always been in the hands of foreign countries, and their information should be retained, so we can only organize and make guesses based on the information we have obtained so far... Here are some of my personal opinions and analysis
You can listen to the situation..."
Wang Xiaoming stood up and pointed at the four photos of ghost paintings on the screen: "First of all, I deduce that if you want to truly find the source of the ghost paintings, you will most likely have to enter any ghost painting again.
possible."
His words were very concise and he got to the point directly.
"What? Go into the ghost painting to find the ghost painting?" Someone was immediately shocked.
The level of risk is too high.
If you can't stand looking for something in front of a ghost, you will definitely be killed in the ghost painting.
"It's just my personal inference. You can pay attention to the backgrounds of the four ghost paintings, Shangfeng Community, Forest Park, Dakyo University, and Tianqiao Avenue. You have not found these four locations. They are all non-repeating. Although the
The fifth and sixth ghost paintings did not appear, but if they did appear, it should prove that my inference is correct."
Wang Xiaoming continued: "The background of the ghost paintings should have a certain degree of connectivity. That is to say, if you can enter one of the ghost paintings, there is a high probability that you can go to another ghost painting."
"The feasibility of entering the ghost painting has been proven, because the bodies of several victims were found in the ghost painting. Look carefully at this corner." He pointed to an inconspicuous dim corner of the first ghost painting.
.
The picture of that place was enlarged, and a person wearing modern women's clothes was lying there. Although the body was shrouded in the darkness of the background, a blurry outline could still be seen clearly.
"Professor Wang, you are just guessing."
Jiang Shangbai said solemnly: "You can't risk entering the ghost painting to find the source just because of a guess, otherwise many people will die."
"If there are no clues, we can only rely on the existing conditions to make guesses. This is the only way." Wang Xiaoming said seriously: "There is no better way besides this, and I think my inference is correct.
"
"Assuming that the ghost paintings are really connected, then if you can't find the source after entering the ghost paintings, wouldn't you die inside?" someone asked.
Wang Xiaoming said: "This is a very stupid question. Ghost paintings are both entrances and exits. I have four ghost paintings in my hand, which means there are four exits. The premise is that you don't get lost in them. After all, they were painted by ghosts.
I don’t know what period the world will take and what things we will encounter.”
"It's even possible that entering the ghost painting is a trap. I'm just stating this possibility. If you want to confirm it, someone needs to take the risk."
Take a risk?
Are you kidding me? You're risking your life to try it.
"And you'd better move faster. The background of the ghost painting is like a puzzle. It seems to be piecing together areas. If all the areas are connected, then all the exits may not exist. Ghost Painting
It is very likely that it will be completely revived, and at that time the ghost domain of ghost paintings will most likely cover a city, and the scope...can continue to increase."
"As for the reason why the ghost painting appears, I don't know yet because there is no information to provide. It feels like it appears out of thin air, so you need to find the clues."
"Besides, there is another possibility..."
When Yang Jian heard Wang Xiaoming's explanation, his heart gradually sank.
His speculation was bold and reasonable, something he had never imagined before.
Are the ghost paintings connected?
Find the source by entering ghost paintings?
"If Wang Xiaoming's inference is true, then there should be an entrance to the deeper parts of the ghost painting in the ghost domain covering two floors when I was dealing with the ghost painting, but I didn't find it...
....Or is his guess about ghost paintings wrong?"
While Yang Jian was thinking, he also heard another possible guess from Wang Xiaoming.
The ghost painting is just a simple ghost, hidden somewhere in the city, and the incident can be solved by finding it.
But Wang Xiaoming was very dissatisfied with this conjecture.
Because it's too simple.
If it were that simple, it should have been solved abroad long ago, so he preferred the first option, but Wang Xiaoming did not deny this conjecture.
What if it’s that simple?
In addition, he had a third conjecture and a fourth conjecture...but they were even less likely. He didn't say them out so as not to disturb everyone's thinking.
If you want further confirmation, you need clues and information brought by everyone after taking action.
"What a troublesome thing." Yang Jian got more and more headache.
The two ghosts who came out of the ghost paintings were suspected to be able to change their appearance. The final images were of Su Fan and Liu San.
The background of the ghost paintings is suspected to be together, like a puzzle, eroding the city. Once the puzzle is completed, the ghost paintings may be at risk of being completely revived.
The ghosts that will keep coming out of the ghost paintings are similar to restarting. To deal with them, two people need to cooperate.
The ghost who disappears into the ghost painting.
We have defeated a team of top foreign ghost masters. Where are the ghosts in those people?
complex.
Quite complicated.
All the clues are completely disorganized, with speculations upon speculations and conjectures upon conjectures that cannot be connected at all.
It is much more complicated than the Dachang City starving ghost incident.
At the beginning, we only needed to find the killing pattern of the Starving Ghosts and find the source.
But what about this ghost painting?
All kinds of paintings appear out of thin air, all kinds of incomprehensible weirdness, we don’t know the rules of killing, the rules of appearance, or their origins, everything is a mystery.
"The ghost painting can also suppress my ghost eyes. I am naturally at a disadvantage when facing the ghost painting. It is best not to participate in this incident, otherwise I will probably fall into danger here." Yang Jian made a judgment.
He thought that there was no need for him to get involved, and he could at most just dawdle for a few days and then slip away.
With so many people here, I can't afford to show off.
and.....
Yang Jian looked at Mr. Qin, who had been sitting motionless on the chair next to him since he entered the conference room.
With this old man, the situation probably won't be much worse.
After making up his mind, Yang Jian decided to focus his recent attention on Jiang Shangbai and the circle of friends behind him.
Today's conflict with him is a sign and a signal.
If he guessed correctly, there would be a wave of counterattack from the circle of friends.
As long as you can withstand it, even if your circle of friends is not completely destroyed, it will never recover in the future. At the very least, you will not dare to say anything to kill yourself when you face yourself again in the future.
