There were many people sent by the Spirit Society to pick up the plane. As soon as he stepped out of the plane, Gu Li saw that a red carpet had been laid out in front of the gangway to express his welcome. On both sides of the red carpet, a row of men in black suits stood upright.
Standing there, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
And when Gu Li just walked down the gangway, when his feet just landed on the first step, these men in suits immediately bent down and bowed to ninety degrees, with neat movements.
Even the crew members behind him stood in a row around the cabin door, bending and bowing as if they were sending some important person off.
It was as if the person who got off the plane was not a ghost master from a foreign country, but the Prime Minister of his own country.
Such reception etiquette and specifications, whether it is just for show or not, at least the attitude is displayed and the pomp is sufficient.
"No wonder rich people like to go abroad. After you have the right to speak, you are the uncle. Look at the time when China has given me such a pomp. Even when I went to the headquarters for a meeting, the seats I sat on were all made of gold.
The coffin cart is afraid that I will resurrect as a ghost in Dajing City, which will be very unlucky."
Looking at the two rows of black-clothed men passing by, Gu Li felt a little emotional when he felt such pomp and circumstance. He didn't know who he was talking to.
It has to be said that there are indeed differences in attitudes towards ghost controllers at home and abroad.
Out of a stance of maintaining stability, the domestic headquarters has a very vague attitude towards the ghost controllers under its command.
On the one hand, in the era of supernatural resurgence, ghost controllers are highly valued, but on the other hand, these ghost controllers themselves are regarded as unstable factors and are secretly guarded against. This makes it increasingly difficult for the current headquarters to recruit responsible persons.
.
When an individual's force is enough to override the collective, even if this force comes at the cost of shortening his life, under the influence of his own ability, if he can be a little overlord in one world, why should he be a subordinate of the headquarters?
Where is the person in charge?
Mobilizing the power of a city sounds tempting, but this tempting power corresponds to obligations, and the obligation of the person in charge is to deal with dangerous supernatural events. But in the face of dangerous and unpredictable supernatural events,
Even captain-level ghost masters may die in it.
Given such pros and cons, most ghost masters would naturally prefer to set up their own business and make some small profits in the city.
In fact, just relying on this small profit is enough for the ghost master's family to enjoy wealth and status that they would never have had in this life.
"Then why don't you consider joining the Spirit Exorcist Society? In fact, with your status as a ghost controller, it can be said that it is easy to obtain Japanese citizenship, not to mention that the Spirit Exorcist Society is currently facing a situation where no one is available. A controller like you
Ghosts will definitely be regarded as important talents to recruit."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside Gu Li.
The person who spoke was a man who seemed to have no presence, but he didn't know how long he had been following him.
This man's appearance gives people a very ordinary and popular feeling, the kind that is difficult to find among the crowd. His clothes are also simple, black sweatpants and a gray down jacket, just like his face
, nothing worth noting.
But the strange thing is that such a popular face is difficult to describe clearly. It seems that different people will have different descriptions after seeing this face, and then when these people turn their heads, they will suddenly find that they seem to have forgotten it.
What that person looks like.
"What you said, if it goes by what you said, you might as well apply to join the Spirit Removal Club. If you join the Spirit Removal Club, then I will join with you." Gu Li smiled and said in a teasing tone.
.
"I'll forget it. I'm nostalgic and don't want to learn Japanese. When the time comes, you can transfer me 50 yuan and I will help you submit the application for cancellation of nationality after returning to China. You don't have to go there in person."
The ordinary-looking man spoke again, his voice seemed a bit cold, but this coldness was not caused by answering Gu Li's teasing, but because the tone of his original speech was so lukewarm.
"No, no, no, don't mess around. I'm very patriotic."
Gu Li emphasized repeatedly, because he knew that these grand pomps in front of him were actually meaningless vanity and a show.
If he wanted to, he could stage such a show countless times in Daxi City. Every day, different male and female celebrities could come over and line up in two rows, one on the left and one on the right, and shout loudly to him, "Welcome Mr. Gu to come to work in the company."
kind of discourse.
But these vanities mean nothing to Gu Li.
He only cares about one thing, and that is domestic stability.
He knows very well that only when the domestic environment is stable, the order in Daxi City can also remain stable.
If there is no order in a place, wouldn't it be like when the end comes? Everyone has to struggle in a desperate situation. When order collapses and the law is just a piece of waste paper, only those who have control of the resources will
They are regarded as human beings, and other survivors are just human resources. They are just simple numbers that can be abandoned and thrown away at any time.
After all, in the apocalypse, one less person means one less mouth to eat.
However, even though Gu Li knew these things, he still had that faint smile on his face at this moment.
Since the Spirit-Expelling Society is willing to put on such a welcome ceremony, there is certainly no need for him to refuse.
It didn't take long.
Surrounded by a group of men in suits, he walked down the red carpet as a warm welcome.
The end of the red carpet was also full of people. These people seemed to be the senior leaders of the Soul Eliminating Society. They immediately put on polite smiles after seeing Gu Li.
At this time, among the senior leaders of the Spirit-Expelling Society, a middle-aged man in a suit with a bald head standing at the front came over.
It is worth mentioning that when he walked up to Gu Li, this man who obviously had a high status actually bent down slightly and stretched out his hands, showing a sincere and warm welcome.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Gu, welcome to the island country. I am the president of the Soul Exorcist Society. My surname is Mishima."
The language of Mishima's greeting was not even Japanese, but Chinese. Although his speech was not very standard, at least his attitude was very low.
"I didn't expect that the president of the Soul Exorcist Society would come to receive him personally."
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Gu Li stretched out his gloved hand to shake President Mishima's hand, while Xiao Yu next to him translated this sentence in fluent Japanese.
"I've heard about Mr. Gu for a long time."
Mishima said politely, then turned his attention to Xiao Yu and the stranger next to Gu Li.
"I wonder who these two are?" Mishima asked.
"This is my translator, and this one is my assistant." Gu Li replied.
"assistant?"
Mishima couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Xiao Yu's translation.
"Judging from this woman's performance, she is indeed a very good translator, but the assistant next to Gu Li..."
Mishima thought to himself, and once again quietly looked at Xiao Yu and the stranger he had never seen before.
Xiao Yu's language translation during the conversation between the two had already explained her identity, but Mishima was always wary of this strange man following Gu Li.
However, this kind of vigilance cannot be put on the table.
Soon, Mishima turned the topic back to Gu Li very enthusiastically: "Mr. Gu, please, this is your first time coming to the island country. Our Spiritual Exclusion Society has also prepared a welcome party for you. It's just an urgent matter, so
It may be a bit shabby, I hope Mr. Gu doesn't mind."
"Haha, it's easy to say, but I hope that when I get to the venue, the information I want can be delivered 'just in time'."
Gu Li did not refuse, but there was a hint of threat in the smile on his face.
This time he came to the island country to complete the task assigned by the ghost photo studio. Although it was still twenty hours before eleven o'clock at midnight, he did not want to play house with Mishima during this time.
"Please rest assured that the information is already on its way. You also know that in today's society, electronic records are no longer suitable for dealing with some special situations."
Mishima gave a very reasonable explanation.
that's the truth.
The power of evil ghosts is far more terrifying than ordinary people imagine. Some terrifying curses can even spread along the Internet and telephone lines.
Under this kind of supernatural erosion, the seemingly advanced data recording methods will be eliminated, and instead return to the most primitive paper recording mode.
After all, as long as the files are sealed in a golden safe, no matter how powerful the supernatural being is, they will not be able to know or even tamper with the text on the files.
"Okay, lead the way."
Gu Li nodded.
After a while, the convoy of the Chu Ling Society took Gu Li and the three of them to a Japanese garden.
This place is ridiculously spacious. The ancient architectural style is like a shrine. The ground here is covered with white sand. The water in the garden is gurgling. The houses are all in the style of Japanese ancient buildings. The houses are not high and the overall shape is very simple.
Apart from the white-painted walls, only the lines and colors of the wooden house itself are left on the surface. Apart from that, almost no extra colors can be seen.
"There seems to be something wrong with this place."
As soon as he got off the car, Gu Li frowned slightly.
He always felt like there was something secretly watching him here, which made him feel uneasy.
He subconsciously glanced at Li Leping who had just stepped out of the car, wanting to hear the Dachuan City captain's opinion.
But the problem is that Li Leping's face is as numb as a dead person, with no expression at all, and he is indifferent to the vague feeling of uneasiness at this moment.
"Mr. Gu, please come this way."
Mishima came over at this time and said very politely.
"What is this place?" Gu Li did not leave in a hurry, but stood there and looked around, asking at the same time.
"Mr. Gu, this is a place specially designed to receive distinguished guests. According to the company's practice, only guests with high status are eligible to come here. This time, we will specially prepare it when you and Mr. Jiang Hao are both here.
This place will take care of you."
Xiao Yu translated Mishima's flattering words.
"Reception? Why do I feel something is wrong? It seems that in order to prevent us from making trouble, we were specially brought to your territory. If there is a fight, wouldn't you have prepared eight hundred swordsmen and axes behind the screen in advance?
Alright?"
The smile on Gu Li's face has not faded, but there is a vague meaning of hiding a knife in the smile.
Hearing this, Mishima's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his normal expression, and then immediately explained: "Mr. Gu misunderstood, you are a distinguished guest, I can guarantee your reputation, it is very safe here."
very safe?
Gu Li smiled a little coldly.
Mishima means: "When you are a guest, it is safe here and there will be no danger to you."
As for if you are not regarded as a guest, then it is difficult to say.
"Are there also ghost masters of the older generation sitting in the Soul Expulsion Society?"
Ignoring Mishima's words, Gu Li thought to himself, and was more concerned about the source of the uneasiness.
Because in his opinion, it is impossible for ordinary ghost masters to give him such a degree of uneasiness, at least a captain-level ghost master can give him such an uneasy feeling.
This feeling of uneasiness did not arise in his heart for no reason, but was caused by the evil spirits in his body out of avoidance.
However, it is unlikely that the younger generation of today's island country will have such a level of figures. If there were, why would Lingshe lower its profile and ask for help from outside?
Come to think of it, only the older generation of ghost masters from the island country have such ability.
"Sure enough, there are still some old roots within each country that can be gnawed on."
Although he vaguely guessed that there might be an older generation of ghost masters from the island country stationed here, Gu Li had no intention of giving in.
Because in his opinion, this older generation of ghost masters from the island country who lurk in the dark probably won't live long, and will no longer be able to use their supernatural powers a few more times.
In other words, unless Gu Li tried to massacre the entire Soul Exorcist Society, the old man hiding in the dark could only turn a blind eye.
That was when Gu Li had some speculation in his mind.
Mishima was equally surprised.
"Wang Xin once reported that Yang Jian also noticed something abnormal when he entered the door before. I didn't expect that the person named Gu Li now has such a keen intuition. The Asia Interpol Headquarters is really full of talents."
Mishima could be said to be extremely jealous of this.
If there was such an outstanding general in charge of the Soul-Splitting Society, why would he have to swallow his anger like he is now?
However, he never expected that when he was trying to dispel Gu Li's curiosity.
A strange man with no sense of existence, who had long been forgotten by Mishima and many members of the Soul Exorcist Society, had quietly approached the source of the strange aura.
"it's here."
Li Leping met many patrolling guards along the way. These guards included open sentries patrolling on the road and hidden sentries patrolling in the dark.
But these guards didn't notice his presence at all, and allowed him to wander freely in the forest garden, and finally came to a relatively remote courtyard.
It seems that few people come here, and the guards' patrol routes even deliberately avoid this place, so no one can be seen here at the moment.
