Chapter 137: Someone comes from the headquarters, the appointed captain!
“Why did the ghost painting suddenly come back again?!”
Dajing City.
Wang Xiaoming in the conference room of the Ghost Controller headquarters building looked at the picture on the screen with a puzzled look. Beside him, Cao Yanhua also looked puzzled.
What is displayed on the screen is the picture taken by the satellite. The content of the picture is exactly the scene near the Caesar Hotel in Zshan City.
In the picture, a gray ghost realm spreads from a distance at an extremely fast speed.
Zhong Shan, who was standing in the street not far from the Caesar Hotel, had also discovered this scene.
Judging from the video, Zhong Shan turned around and ran away without any hesitation. He had already discarded his previous promise of "preserving the castle until support from the headquarters arrives." .
However, Cao Yanhua in the conference room was not dissatisfied.
He understood Zhong Shan’s approach very well, and also knew what Zhong Shan would face if he could not leave that area before the ghostly realm of ghost paintings arrived.
Cao Yanhua suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and said to Wang Xiaoming on the side: "Professor Wang, things in Zshan City have become even worse now. Won't Tong Jian and the others call back?"
Tong Jian is this time. The person in charge who was sent by the headquarters to deal with the supernatural incidents in Zshan City was a very experienced ghost controller.
In the captain plan recently launched by the headquarters, Tong Jian is one of the people who has been on the default list of captains, and he does not rely on connections through the back door, but relies on his own strength!
"No need, Tong Jian is not a newcomer anymore. He will take care of everything after arriving in Zshan City. If something really cannot be done, he will make a corresponding decision as soon as possible." Wang Xiaoming said road.
Cao Yanhua continued: "I am not worried about Tong Jian's ability, but the events in Zshan City are getting more and more complicated. Would it be too much to let our people in before we have a clear understanding of the situation? Taking risks.”
Wang Xiaoming said: "Since the matter has happened, it must be handled by someone. It cannot be ignored just because of the danger, and the specific situation also needs someone to investigate."
"Zhong Shan and the others still have to deal with it." A little bit worse, Zshan City needs someone who is decisive and capable to take charge, and there are not many such people at the headquarters, and Tong Jian is one of them," Wang Xiaoming continued.
"That's true." Cao Yanhua thought about it carefully and found that what Wang Xiaoming said made sense. He nodded and stopped talking.
To be honest, in the captain plan that the headquarters is about to launch this time, there are already many captain-level figures that have been decided, but the power relations behind most of them are very complicated.
Some captains are elected based on their contribution and merit to the headquarters. Although their own strength is also very strong, there may be some water in it.
And some rely on their own strength. When their strength reaches a certain level, the headquarters will also win over them, and captain is one of the conditions for winning over.
There are also some who rely on the forces behind them. Although there are not many supernatural organizations in China at present, there are also quite a few. Some large-scale organizations also cooperate with the headquarters, and even some people from the organizations have joined. Headquarters.
Among those who joined the headquarters, some had strong support from the forces behind them, and a few of them obtained the position of captain.
As for Tong Jian, he belongs to the second type. He won the position of captain entirely by his own strength, and it has been decided internally, so it is time to make it public.
………………
In the sky above Zshan City, a helicopter was constantly circling, but it never landed. It seemed that it was also worried about the ghost land spreading in the distance.
"Boss, that gray ghost realm belongs to the ghost realm of ghost paintings. It is very difficult to deal with. It is said that the group has destroyed a team of top foreign ghost controllers, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
In the helicopter, a young man in his twenties with a sickly face and pale skin said to Tong Jian in the seat next to him.
When he spoke, his voice was very loud because the noise of the helicopter propeller was too loud. If he spoke too softly, others would not be able to hear him clearly.
“That rumor is true!”
Tong Jian looked at the ghost realm in the distance with a fearful look on his face and said: "Ghost painting has indeed defeated a team of foreign ghost masters, and the leader of the team was a top ghost master who controlled three ghosts."
“But we don’t need to confront the ghost painting head-on. It shouldn’t stay here for long. We will not enter Zshan City until the ghost painting leaves.”
After finishing speaking, Tong Jian asked the pilot of the helicopter: "How long will the fuel in the fuel tank of the aircraft be enough to support us in hovering?"
"It will still be enough for us to fly in the air for three or four hours. Then you need to refuel in the fuel tank, otherwise the plane will run out of fuel and crash," the pilot said after looking at the fuel gauge.
“That’s enough.”
Tong Jian continued: "We can still fly for three or four hours. If the ghost painting doesn't leave after three hours, then we will land in the next city."
Helicopters are different from passenger planes.
The helicopter is not large in size. You don’t need to enter the airport specifically for the landing site. You can land in a slightly open place.
You can even land directly on the top floors of some buildings.
As for the crash? That's impossible!
With Tong Jian here, there would be no possibility of a crash. Even if the helicopter's fuel tank was really exhausted, there would be no crash.
"By the way, there are many ghost masters in the ghost master headquarters, and some of them are capable. Why did such a difficult matter fall on you, boss, this time?"
Morbid The young man's expression changed when he heard Tong Jian's words, and then he said to Tong Jian meaningfully.
The young man's name is Gong Hao. Unlike Tong Jian, he is not from the Ghost Controller Headquarters, so he is not very interested in the arrangements of the Ghost Controller Headquarters.
In addition to being the appointed captain of the Ghost Controller headquarters, Tong Jian is also the person in charge of a city.
Gong Hao was the ghost controller in the city that Tong Jian was responsible for. Later, he was impressed by Tong Jian's strong strength and became Tong Jian's subordinate to work for him.
Therefore, although Gong Hao has files at the Ghost Controller headquarters, he is not considered a member of the headquarters. He is a personal subordinate of Tong Jian.
Tong Jian is not only powerful but also very skilled in his methods. In addition to Gong Hao, Tong Jian also recruited other ghost controllers.
"I knew this well. Originally I could have turned down this task, but in the end I chose to accept it." Tong Jian said with a twinkle in his eye.
How could he not know the danger of this mission, but he still chose to accept it. In addition to his confidence in his own strength, there were other thoughts in it.
Seeing that Tong Jian seemed to have other ideas, Gong Hao nodded and said he understood, but he was very sensible and did not ask what Tong Jian's thoughts were.
As a qualified subordinate, Gong Hao knows what to ask and what not to ask. If Tong Jian wants to say something, he will naturally tell him. If he doesn't want to say it, asking will be in vain.
And sometimes, knowing too much may not be a good thing!
After thinking about it, Gong Hao spoke again: "By the way, boss, the matter you asked me to investigate Luo Ning before has come to fruition."
"It's exactly what you thought. , he has been in contact with other forces recently, but the specific force has not been found out, and the other party is very hidden!”
"Sure enough, I knew it would be like this. This rip-off guy, wait until this matter is over, and then settle the ledger with him!"
Tong Jian's eyes condensed, and he thought so. .
Like Gong Hao, Luo Ning is also one of his "subordinates", but recently, Tong Jian found that Luo Ning's behavior was unspeakably weird, so he asked Gong Hao to investigate secretly. Look at each other.
"Inform Yao Ying and tell her to be careful. I have a hunch that if Luo Ning is really bribed, the other party will take action during my business trip." Tong Jian said to Gong Hao said.
“Okay, boss.”
Gong Hao responded and then sent a text message to Yao Ying.
After sending the text message, Gong Hao looked at Tong Jian sitting beside him, and his mind returned to Tong Jian's decision before they set off.
This mission is obviously very dangerous, but Tong Jian only took Gong Hao with him, and all the other ghost masters under his command stayed in Daping City.
At first Gong Hao didn't understand the significance of Tong Jian's arrangement. Now it seems that Tong Jian had already taken precautions at that time. This arrangement was also to ensure that no accidents would occur in Daping City.
………………
"What's happening outside? Why are the bells ringing?"
In the dark corridor, Su Mubai stopped and stood there quietly listening to something.
Just now, he heard a dull bell coming from the real world outside the corridor.
The sound of the bell did not last very long, but it was extremely penetrating. Even Su Mubai, who was in this supernatural place, heard it clearly.
The reason why Su Mubai was attracted by the sound of bells was because he could feel the supernatural power contained in the dull sound of bells.
"There is no big clock in the Caesar Hotel, and the sound came from the outside. This rules out the abnormality deep in the supernatural corridor. There is no big clock in the hotel outside."
Su Mubai I recalled the results of my inspections on other floors of the hotel, and even recalled the plot of the original novel in my mind.
He was sure that there was no such big bell that could make a dull sound in the Caesar Hotel, at least on the first to fourth floors. As for whether there was one on the fifth floor of the hotel, Su Mubai didn't know.
After all, he didn’t go up to the fifth floor. When he traveled through time, the original book didn’t have much description of the fifth floor and other floors of the hotel.
“If the bell is not coming from the Caesar Hotel, then there is a high probability that it is coming from the castle next to the hotel.”
Su Mubai's face looked a little ugly.
That old castle is very mysterious, and the ghosts inside are generally quite scary, especially the terrifying male corpse in military uniform who had fought with Su Mubai before.
The male corpse is no less terrifying than Su Mubai in terms of its own level, and the other party is suspected to be the owner of the castle and can use the supernatural power of the castle.
After waiting quietly for a while, there was silence outside and the bell did not ring again, but Su Mubai still had a bad feeling.
“Maybe I’m overthinking it. The evil ghost in that old castle doesn’t seem to be able to leave the old castle. And even if the scary male corpse really walks out of the old castle and targets me, there’s nothing to be afraid of. ! ”
Su Mubai thought for a moment, and then continued walking deeper into the dark corridor.
During the time he stopped, the changes in the corridor intensified again, supernatural power spread, and the current corridor became more dangerous.
But most of them are just supernatural derivatives. The real source of the ghosts is still in the room, and there are not many ghosts that have actually escaped.
Tap tap tap!
Su Mubai stepped forward, his feet stepped on the red carpet of the aisle, making a sound of footsteps.
The red water on the ground was suppressed by the supernatural power emanating from Su Mubai's body and was retreating steadily, automatically spreading out a clean walkway for him to pass through.
Soon, Su Mubai stopped again and looked at the scene in front of him.
In front of him was the female corpse that Bai Ling had stayed on the lamp. At this time, Su Mubai had already arrived beside the female corpse.
The female corpse was still the same as before, with disheveled hair and being hung by a piece of white silk, motionless, just like an ordinary hanging corpse, without any abnormalities.
But Su Mubai didn’t think so.
Standing next to the female corpse, he could clearly feel the cold aura emanating from the female corpse. It was the aura of a fierce ghost. It was impossible for a living person to have it, unless he was a ghost controller.
For some unknown reason, after the female corpse ran out of a room deep in the corridor, she hung herself on a lamp with a piece of white silk, and there was no other movement after that.
Even when Su Mubai walked to the side of the female corpse, the female corpse still showed no reaction at all.
This seems a bit unreasonable to Su Mubai.
Logically speaking, even if it is difficult for Li Gui and Li Gui to trigger each other's killing pattern, they will not be silent at all when they walk next to them. They will still look back at least.
"No, Bai Ling and the female corpse are not puzzle pieces belonging to the same ghost, but two different ghosts!" Su Mubai's eyes moved, and after careful observation at a close distance, he discovered something unusual.
Both Bai Ling and the female corpse exude a cold aura, but the supernatural powers between them are not superimposed on each other, but are constantly confronting each other.
"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the female corpse walked out of a certain guest room, and somehow triggered Bai Ling's murder pattern, and was attacked by Bai Ling."
< br>"Bai Ling's level of terror is very high, she can directly hang up evil spirits. To suppress. But the female corpse is a ghost and cannot die, and the two fall into a strange balance."
"The final result is that Bai Ling can't do anything to the female corpse, and the female corpse can't break free from Bai Ling. Aya's restraint, so it's a stalemate."
After "understanding" the truth, Su Mubai couldn't help but want to laugh. This situation was a bit absurd to him. Without the intervention of a third party, the deadlock between the female corpse and Bai Ling would have continued.
After all, neither of them will die, nor can they completely crush each other. They can only fall into this weird balance and remain in a stalemate.
Su Mubai doesn’t mind being the “third party”.
"Pa ta", "Pa ta", "Pa ta"...
A pair of dark palms grabbed Bai Ling, with black liquid surging in the palms , kept rushing towards Bai Ling.
The supernatural power spread, and Bai Ling was suppressed. The end tied around the neck of the female corpse was loosened, and the female corpse fell from the air.
There was a "plop".
The female corpse fell directly to the ground of the supernatural walkway. Even though the walkway was covered with a layer of red carpet, it still made the sound of falling objects.
Soon.
Without the restriction of Bai Ling's supernatural power, the female corpse quickly resumed her actions. She stood up unsteadily and looked at Su Mubai beside her.
At this moment, the long hair that obscured the face of the female corpse was cut to both sides, and Su Mubai also took the opportunity to see clearly what the female corpse looked like.
The appearance of the female corpse was very terrifying. There was no intact skin on her face, and there were all criss-crossing wounds. The skin and flesh at the wounds were turned out, and inside were pieces of rotten flesh that exuded a foul odor.
A pair of pale, pupil-less eyes looked at Su Mubai standing aside. Their eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion, making people shiver.
The terrifying-looking female corpse stood in a very weird posture, as if all her joints were broken. When she just stood up, her joints kept making "click-click" sounds.
Brush!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air sounded.
Before the female corpse could make other moves, Su Mubai directly waved the old saber in his hand, and swung several knives at the female corpse in front of him from a distance.
The next moment.
The Curse of the Saber breaks out!
