Chapter 96 First Meeting with Old Master Qin
"Ye Zhen might just start a fight with us as soon as he arrives," Cao Yang said.
He was able to watch the battle between Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen from a safe position.
Ye Zhen seemed completely unafraid of any supernatural attacks from Fang Shiming, simply enduring them head-on.
Ironically, after the battle, Fang Shiming was close to the resurrection of the vengeful ghost, while Ye Zhen seemed to have remained unchanged.
He was quite envious of it for a while at the time.
"Wang Xiaoming is a smart man. If he really wanted to approach Ye Zhen, he would find a way to avoid this risk," Sun Rui said.
Meanwhile, on a plane leaving Dajing City.
"After landing, first send Yang Jian's mother back to Dachang City, then go find Ye Zhen. He probably won't miss the opportunity to solve a supernatural incident and gain fame," Wang Xiaoming said, pushing up his glasses.
"Ye Zhen? If we go to him, will he kill us to silence us? After all, the headquarters has almost lost its deterrent power now," Li Jun said.
"Don't worry, I've studied Ye Zhen. Although he has some ambition, he's still an upright person. He wouldn't do something like kicking someone when they're down," Wang Xiaoming said.
Li Jun nodded. His main task was to protect Wang Xiaoming's safety. As for other matters, he would almost always follow Wang Xiaoming's arrangements.
The flight they were on was not going directly to Dachang City, but to Dahan City.
After a layover in Dahan City, the journey to Dachang City is still very fast.
Soon, the two of them took Yang Jian's mother off the plane.
I immediately felt a completely different feeling from Dajing City.
This feeling only became apparent after they had completely left Dajing City.
It seems that because they went too far away, the supernatural power had disappeared.
"It seems that the influence of this vengeful ghost is limited, and its effects can even be eliminated if you are far away," Wang Xiaoming thought to himself.
"This is Dahan City, which is under Sun Rui's jurisdiction. I've looked at the files here, and there haven't been any paranormal events for some time," Li Jun said.
Wang Xiaoming nodded. Dahan City was considered one of the more peaceful cities in the country.
"Sun Rui has been dealing with paranormal events all over the country, which is not like his usual style. It is very likely that some kind of supernatural force is driving him to do this," Wang Xiaoming analyzed.
"Do you mean Sun Rui was also affected by the vengeful ghost?" Li Jun asked, puzzled.
"Not necessarily. We don't need to delve too much into the supernatural aspects behind him. After all, every ghost tamer has their own secrets," Wang Xiaoming said.
Normally, Wang Xiaoming might have been interested, but now, stability is the priority.
"Let's go. Contact the people in Dahan City and arrange a private plane to take us to Dachang City."
……
The perimeter of the headquarters.
"Old Qin's attitude is very ambiguous. You could even interpret it as him helping headquarters in the form of cooperation," Cao Yang said, shaking his head.
Sun Rui was not surprised to learn about Elder Qin's situation, after all, Sun Rui was also a veteran ghost tamer.
They've even solved S-level paranormal cases; it would be strange if they couldn't even find this much information.
"Cooperation? You mean, even if there's a problem at headquarters, Elder Qin might not necessarily step in, is that right?" Sun Rui frowned.
"You could say that. The deputy minister had considered asking Elder Qin to come out of retirement to resolve the starving ghost incident in Dachang City, but Elder Qin declined," Cao Yang said.
"Why is the so-called powerful Elder Qin at headquarters?" Zhao Lei asked, puzzled.
"Well... I don't know either, but I have a little inside information. I wonder if you guys would like to hear it?" Cao Yang said with a smile.
"Go on."
"Old Qin existed before I joined headquarters, and I also heard someone say that someone at headquarters was going to celebrate their 100th birthday, which should be Old Qin," Cao Yang said.
"Doesn't that mean the Qin Lao you're talking about is a vengeful ghost that he only managed to control when he was over 90 years old?" Zhao Lei said.
"That's not quite right. If he were a vengeful spirit who only started controlling it at over 90 years old, he wouldn't be the pillar of strength for headquarters," Cao Yang said. "You don't really think headquarters relies entirely on ordinary people to manage ghost controllers, do you?"
Zhao Lei scratched his head, he really didn't know the management model at headquarters, and looked at Yang Jian beside him, wanting to get an answer.
However, Yang Jian was already deep in thought at this moment.
If he is 100 years old, it means that this old man lived from the Republic of China era.
"You mean to say that Elder Qin is very likely a ghost tamer who survived from the Republican era?" Yang Jian asked.
"That's right. Originally, I planned to keep this secret to myself, but now that we've come this far, if we encounter any danger later, being more careful will give me a better chance of survival," Cao Yang said.
Meanwhile, Sun Rui's expression kept changing.
He wasn't surprised that Old Qin was a ghost tamer who survived from the Republic of China era; he already knew that information.
Instead, they were wondering what Old Qin was really up to. The headquarters was already in dire straits, and if they didn't take action soon, it would really collapse overnight.
He didn't think about it anymore. If he wasn't going to make a move, he wasn't going to. Since they were already here, there was no going back.
Soon, following the directions left by Wang Xiaoming, they arrived at the entrance to the underground base.
The entrance was wide open and unguarded, as if welcoming them.
"Should we go in? It looks like someone is waiting for us," Cao Yang said.
This was his first time visiting this underground base. He hadn't expected that the headquarters would be hiding something like this; there must be some good stuff inside.
"Let's go in and take a look," Sun Rui said.
"Alright!" Cao Yang laughed, released the brake, stepped on the gas, and drove the car in.
Although Cao Yanhua is his uncle, under special circumstances, it shouldn't be a problem for them to take away some supernatural items, right?
Just as their car was halfway through the passage, all the lights in the passage suddenly turned on.
"There really are people waiting for us, but we don't know if they've been affected by the vengeful ghost," Cao Yang said.
The vehicle continued to drive smoothly.
With so many ghost tamers around, Cao Yang wasn't particularly afraid of the dangers ahead.
If all of them crash and burn, then the headquarters might as well just go under.
However, not long after, Cao Yang suddenly slammed on the brakes.
"Damn it! Drive carefully!" Zhao Lei's forehead hit the windshield directly.
"Old Qin and the Vice Minister are both up ahead," Cao Yang said, pointing to the two figures in front.
One of them easily recognized Cao Yanhua.
The other person was an elderly man with a cane, whose face was covered with age spots and whose hair was gray.
This must be the old man Qin they mentioned earlier.
Sun Rui wasn't worried and simply opened the car door and got out.
Since Elder Qin is here, it proves that there is no problem with this underground base.
The other three people saw him get out of the car and opened their doors as well.
"You did indeed discover the anomaly at headquarters," Cao Yanhua said seriously.
Old Qin had told him before that someone would come to resolve this paranormal event, but he hadn't believed it. He didn't expect someone to arrive so quickly.
"Vice Minister, I called you so many times just now, why didn't you answer?" Cao Yang asked, puzzled.
"Many departments at headquarters have been taken over by Zhao Jianguo, and my communication channels have long been cut off," Cao Yanhua said angrily.
"What about the minister? You can't have escaped with him all by yourself, can you?" Cao Yang joked.
"The minister was evacuated the moment the problem was discovered, and I was the one who stayed behind to deal with it," Cao Yanhua explained.
After his explanation, the group realized that the situation at headquarters was worse than they had imagined.
The headquarters is almost completely lost; now all that's left is time.
Besides Zhao Jianguo, this also involves the matter of the wishing ghost.
