Chapter 48 Assassination
"It really is true that the capable are always busy... Ghost tamers like me, who don't have any background, are starting to be frequently drafted." Sun Rui frowned.
The current headquarters isn't thinking about making any changes, and so far, he hasn't received any information about the Captain Project.
Sun Rui had calculated that, based on merit, he should have barely met the requirements for the Captain Program, but because of him, Yang Jian was no longer eligible for the Captain Program.
"They won't kick me out because I have no connections, will they?" Sun Rui stroked his chin.
It is indeed possible that most of the team captains are pre-selected, while only a few are officially recognized.
"Actually, I don't really need teammates." Sun Rui thought for a moment, but he still wanted to become the captain. After all, once he became the captain, many of the headquarters' resources and information would be made public to him. Without these, he would be completely blind when encountering paranormal events.
Sun Ruike cannot guarantee that she fully understands everything that happens to her.
"If they don't come out by six o'clock, we'll go back and rest," Sun Rui said, glancing at his watch.
Time passed slowly, but no one came out. It seemed the Ghost Post Office really thought of him as a messenger from the first floor.
"Boss, would you like something to eat?" Wang Guohai asked from the side.
"No need, this place is under 24-hour security. I'll have Lin Zhensheng cooperate with you," Sun Rui said.
Wang Guohai nodded and wrote down Sun Rui's words.
Sun Rui's next letter should arrive soon, in the next few days.
He drove away from the unfinished building, leaving Lin Zhensheng behind. Lin Zhensheng had now become the messenger on the third floor, and there was still a long time before the next letter arrived. Moreover, given his current condition, it was almost impossible for him to handle paranormal events, so it was better for him to stay here and be in charge of security.
Soon, Sun Rui's car stopped in front of the villa.
The villa's building materials contained some gold, which could ward off some evil spirits. There was also a small safe house in the basement of the villa to prevent major paranormal events.
It's just that it's hardly ever used, and no major paranormal events happen in Dahan City.
Sun Rui stood in front of the villa. He didn't go in because he sensed something was wrong. One of the lights inside the villa was off, and he never turned off the lights in his villa. So there was only one answer: someone was inside the villa!
He stood at the door for a while. The thin ghostly haze dissipated. Although he couldn't sense what was happening inside the villa, he could sense what was happening around it.
Sun Rui did indeed discover something: there were traces of trampling on the lawn behind the villa. Although it had been somewhat repaired, it did not escape his notice.
Sun Rui pushed open the door and walked inside step by step. The villa wasn't very big; the living room was just a short walk through the small garden in front.
"There are also subtle marks on the door lock, I don't know who went in..." Sun Rui took out the key and slowly turned it. He didn't open it directly, but opened it a crack.
Invisible ghostly mist then drifted in.
This is the second floor of the villa.
"The target has appeared in front of the villa and is opening the door. All teams, be alert! This target is extremely dangerous. You must kill him with one shot!" said the man in black combat uniform.
"Received. Target has entered the villa garden area. Proceed?" came the voices of the others through the earpiece.
"No need. Let him go in. These building materials contain gold. After we kill him, they will become a natural imprisonment container. Otherwise, if his vengeful spirit resurrects, we won't be able to escape," the man continued.
"The target has entered the villa! Proceed according to plan," the man said, looking at the thermal imager.
Smoke grenades, which had been set up in several corners of the villa, were released. These were not ordinary smoke grenades; the smoke contained gold.
But at that very moment, the man in charge suddenly witnessed an unbelievable scene.
"The number of targets has increased to ten!"
The man was talking frantically into his earpiece.
However, there was no response from the headset.
"Damn it, something's wrong!" the man cursed under his breath, trying to retreat, but found that the surrounding situation had changed.
The original villa had been turned into a river, and he was squatting on the bed, the special weapon in his hand gone.
……
Sun Rui sat on the sofa, with seven or eight unfamiliar men standing in front of him. These were the men he had just dragged out of the villa.
However, these people now had expressions of terror on their faces, as if they hadn't seen Sun Rui at all.
Some people waved their hands as if something terrifying had come for them; others seemed to be running away frantically, but their legs didn't move, only their hands were waving, as if they were running away fiercely...
"Let me see who sent you..." Apart from controlling the illusion of the captain, Sun Rui had no control over the others.
Only by letting them naturally experience hallucinations can Sun Rui read their memories.
Time passed second by second, and gradually some people lost their breath and stood there blankly.
"You can't handle this? You've only died dozens of times?" Sun Rui said.
Finally, of the remaining people, only the captain was still holding on, but his expression began to turn frantic.
"If none of these people know, then only the captain is left..." Sun Rui checked some of their memories, but didn't get much useful information.
The team members were unaware of the mission's origin, but the team leader was.
Sun Rui snapped his fingers.
The last survivor's eyes suddenly cleared, and then he began to breathe heavily.
"Name, age, and who sent you to assassinate me?" Sun Rui asked.
"You're a monster!" the man cried, clutching his head. He'd had enough of dying again and again, with no end in sight.
"If you don't tell me, I can let you experience that feeling again," Sun Rui said, preparing to continue his actions.
"No, I'll talk... I'll talk... My name is Liu Shengming, I'm 32 years old. I received this mission on a ghost tamer forum abroad. I don't know who the employer is, but I'm sure it's a ghost tamer," the man said.
"How do you know he's a ghost tamer?" Sun Rui asked, puzzled.
"Because the reward he gave us was a vengeful ghost that was imprisoned, something that ordinary people don't have," the man said.
"What's the name of that forum?" Sun Rui asked.
"It's called... the Necromancer's Web forum. There are many such transactions on it." The man's expression suddenly calmed down.
"I was hoping you'd stay and lure that person out, but unfortunately you're not a clean freak," Sun Rui said calmly.
"Die!" He pulled open his combat suit and pulled the pin on the grenade inside.
However, the expected explosion did not occur.
"This is impossible! Your abilities cannot affect gold!" the man exclaimed maniacally.
"Haven't you noticed that you feel much lighter?" Sun Rui asked with a smile.
The man never escaped the illusion from the beginning; it was just that death made him ignore many things, such as the fact that what was in front of him was also an illusion.
"Let's stay in the illusion."
After Sun Rui finished speaking, his body gradually disappeared from Liu Shengming's sight, and the surrounding environment returned to the appearance of the river.
……
"Who could it be?" Sun Rui pondered.
Those who want to kill him naturally have a grudge against him.
During the Dachang City operation, he killed Lin Long. If there were forces behind him wanting to retaliate, that would indeed be possible. However, since Lin Long couldn't kill Sun Rui even using supernatural powers, it's even more unlikely that he would send an ordinary person.
Of course, it could also be a foreign organization of demon tamers that wants to take him down.
After all, he's the only man who has solved an S-class paranormal incident.
"The 'starving ghost incident'... reminds me of someone, Zhao Kaiming!"
Sun Rui stroked his chin. Zhao Kaiming is still wanted by the police, and he must hate him too. If it weren't for Sun Rui, his dream of resurrecting his family would have come true.
