Li Leping told Wang Xiaoming that the transferred ghost was taken away by the old woman.
It can be regarded as throwing the hot potato out of the hand.
However, when he told this information, he did not avoid Gu Li and Jiang Hao who were standing by.
And the reactions of these two people are worth pondering.
But, not now.
"Is this so..."
Wang Xiaoming on the other side of the phone seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent for a while without making a sound.
After a while, he said: "Okay, I understand."
What surprised Li Leping was that Wang Xiaoming didn't care about the old woman's identity.
But after thinking about it carefully, I found that this is actually in line with Wang Xiaoming's character.
Even if Wang Xiaoming's main focus was not on matters during the Republic of China, he still knew a little bit about them.
It’s just that Wang Xiaoming himself is unwilling to copy the history of the previous generation to this era.
The period of the Republic of China can be said to be a glorious and even an extremely powerful era for the newly born ghost controllers of this era.
The various supernatural props and supernatural objects that appeared in this era, whether in terms of workmanship, shape, or craftsmanship, all point to the Republic of China period.
However, in Wang Xiaoming's view, although the ghost controllers during the Republic of China were powerful, in the final analysis, they still failed.
Temporarily suppressing an era can be regarded as a feat, but since there has been a large-scale outbreak of supernatural phenomena in this era, it means that the problem has never been eradicated.
If it is just to repeat the feats of the previous era, it is completely meaningless from Wang Xiaoming's point of view.
In his opinion, the secrets of the Republic of China are just a predetermined answer. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the people of that era failed, although he does not know what method they used to temporarily deal with all the supernatural incidents.
However, in this era, Wang Xiaoming chose to give up the past and focus on the future.
He believes that finding the answer is of little significance; solving the problem is the key.
"Back to the topic this time, you can take away the oil lamp. However, I am a very practical person. If you want to take away the oil lamp, you can, but what bargaining chips do you have in exchange?" At this time, Wang Xiaoming
asked.
Li Leping chose not to accept this sentence, and said something tactless: "I am a poor man. If you think my hand is worth a few taels of gold, just chop it up and exchange it for money."
"Li Leping, if I have enough time, I can go to the library and get a whole cabinet of jokes to joke with you, but now, my time is urgent and you don't have much time, so I think we should reach a consensus quickly,
It’s good for everyone.” Wang Xiaoming’s voice was still so calm and unhurried.
"Ha." Li Leping sneered.
He immediately said: "I don't want to answer your words. Although I am not smart, I have probably guessed that you have actually made a list in advance. If the chips I propose cannot satisfy your list, then you will definitely
Keep rejecting, and you won’t let go until I keep adding more money and finally reach your estimate.”
In the laboratory, Wang Xiaoming, who had been exposed the truth, showed a smile on his face, like a scheming old fox: "If you can say this, it means you are very smart."
"Yes, I did make an estimate in my mind. If the price you proposed does not meet my estimate, then I will find a way to get you to keep increasing the price until it meets my estimate."
"You have decided that I must have this oil lamp?" Li Leping asked rhetorically.
"Otherwise? If you don't need it, why bother calling me in person? Why bother arguing with me?" Wang Xiaoming said, "You just said a very accurate word, 'poor guy'."
"You are indeed very poor, with no resources, no background, and nothing useful. Therefore, I am determined that you can only agree to my request."
Wang Xiaoming's words can be said to be like needles piercing your bones and daggers piercing your heart.
A very real problem.
You have nothing, so what can you do to fight with me?
Li Leping sucked in air, gritted his teeth, and finally could only say in a low voice: "What the hell..."
However, Wang Xiaoming didn't say anything when he heard this sentence, and the phone continued to communicate, as if he was waiting for Li Leping to make his own decision.
However, after waiting for several minutes, Li Leping's voice did not come from the other end of the phone.
"It shouldn't take so long to weigh the pros and cons." At this time, Wang Xiaoming spoke first.
His time is precious, and after this phone call, he still has work to do.
Even though it was already early in the morning, it would not affect his enthusiasm for studying ghosts.
"I'm not weighing the pros and cons, I'm just thinking about how long it will take to lift the table." Li Leping's voice became particularly cold.
His eyes flickered back and forth between Gu Li and Jiang Hao.
Gu Li seemed to have not heard this sentence and kept looking at the screen of his phone.
Jiang Hao held a kerosene lamp in one hand, and held the fingers of the other hand together in front of his chest, with his eyes closed, as if he was turning a blind eye to what he saw and heard.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Xiaoming noticed something was wrong in Li Leping's tone.
"Professor Wang, to tell you the truth, I don't have much favorable impressions of your headquarters, although I understand that in order to maintain the stability of the situation, you constantly ask the ghost controllers below to solve supernatural incidents."
Speaking of this, Li Leping said coldly: "However, this consumption method is comparable to using consumables. I don't want it to fall on me."
"Telling you about the transfer of ghosts is already my biggest concession. I have shown my sincerity, but I can't see your sincerity."
"All you want is to set a trap for me."
"Isn't this a good partnership?"
"If you want to threaten me with an oil lamp, you might be wrong."
"Professor Wang, you need to understand one thing, or the information database you have needs to be updated, that is, I, Li Leping, am actually a very talkative person, but the premise is that someone does not violate my bottom line and principles.
But I am not good at anything else. My waist is too stiff and I can’t bend it, and I don’t want to be manipulated.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You have to understand one thing, that is, you have to correct your identity. You are just a person. Although you have a high IQ, you are defenseless."
"And I am a ghost master, a ghost master who will not live long. You can regard me as a person with brain problems, and I don't care what others think of me.
"However, there is one thing you need to be clear about, that is, you can negotiate terms with me, but the premise is that I am the one who proposed the terms."
"You can bargain, but you can't turn your back on the customer."
His tone was full of warning, even threatening.
In fact, if we really can't reach an agreement this time...
Li Leping even had the idea of grabbing the lights directly and running to Dahai City.
While the ability to transfer ghosts is still there, he might try to compete with Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen, a middle school boy, cannot be convinced with words, but if you have a fight with him and make him think that you are awesome, he will actually want to recruit you.
If there is a true god in the world, it must be Dahaiye Wudi.
Li Leping didn't know how much flattery these words contained.
But he knew that as long as he could fight Ye Zhen back and forth, even if he lost in the end, he could actually achieve his goal.
At least, it's okay to be the second in command of a paranormal forum.
Being friends with Ye Zhen and being the second in command under his influence is better than being a dog to the headquarters.
Li Leping really wanted to try if the Forgotten Ghost could make Ye Zhen forget to die...
As for the circle of friends?
Forget it, Li Leping didn't want to be used as firewood by Yang Jian who turned into a musician.
Upon hearing Li Leping's threat, Wang Xiaoming's hand in writing the message stopped at this moment, and now he focused all his work on this call.
For a moment, neither Li Leping nor Wang Xiaoming made a sound, but they both held the phones in their hands tightly.
Li Leping was unwilling to give in because he knew that once he gave in, it would be easy for others to take advantage of him later.
As a person with no background and no resources.
The more times like this, the more you have to show your strength, even if you are a virtual paper tiger, you must hold on, and you must not be looked down upon by others.
"ha--"
Suddenly.
A yawn sounded.
Gu Li looked at the phone and covered his mouth. He looked like he was sleepy and said in a confused manner: "Hey, Lao Jiang, I woke you up just now. I feel guilty now."
Ah, look, it’s almost three in the morning, why don’t you go to the Zen room to rest first?”
The voice was loud and sounded very deliberate.
"Okay, I'll put the oil lamp here first. Gu Li, help me keep an eye on it."
After saying this, Jiang Hao casually placed the kerosene lamp in his hand on a wooden table, then faced Li Leping with his hands clasped together, bowed slightly and said, "Donor Li, please help yourself."
Immediately, he walked out of the temple without a door again, and soon he could no longer see the candlelight in his hand.
As if he really went to sleep...
What's the meaning?
Li Leping didn't understand it for a while.
But soon, he understood.
Gu Li teamed up with Jiang Hao, and while secretly cheering him on, he also gave Wang Xiaoming, or rather the headquarters behind Wang Xiaoming, a blow.
As expected, these early leaders who have survived all the way to the present have their own ideas in their hearts.
Keeping one party safe is a duty and a responsibility.
But more importantly, it is out of his subjective perspective, hoping to protect every ordinary person living in Onishi City in this supernatural era.
Only with correct thoughts can we have a firm will as support, so as to actively contact supernatural events.
In the final analysis, it was not because of how much the headquarters was willing to pay Gu Li that Gu Li was willing to protect Daxi City.
There is no causal relationship between the two.
In other words, even if the headquarters removes me from my post, I will still be a mere commander and still have to protect my homeland of Onishi City.
To put it bluntly at this moment, Gu Li was also dissatisfied with some of the actions of the headquarters, so he chose to secretly help Li Leping as a protest.
"Nearly all the ghost masters with a spirit of sacrifice died in the first batch. Now they are still following the same old thinking, thinking about saving resources and finding people to come and work for you. Who are you trying to eliminate?
"
Gu Li's supportive behavior can be said to not only build a good relationship with Li Leping, but also make the headquarters understand his long-standing dissatisfaction.
Even if the trouble comes to the end and Li Leping really snatches away the kerosene lamp, what can the headquarters do to Gu Li?
Is it possible that all the people in charge of Dayun City and Daxi City can be removed?
At this moment, Li Leping and Gu Li could be said to have secretly reached a consensus.
You just have to be responsible and rush forward. If something happens anyway, you will carry the big pot and I will take the small pot.
