"Your reach is a bit too far. What exactly is your intention in trying to poach my talent time and time again?" Song Yue asked bluntly.
"Unlike Big Dipper, they've even infiltrated the Headquarters." Hu Jiu had a fake smile on his face. He had previously noticed that Xiao Yu and Yin Wenxian were under a curse, so he had them suspend their original missions and sent them to Lanqiong Mountain to be put to good use. Unexpectedly, pulling up a radish brought out the mud, and one surprise after another came his way.
It seems that Big Dipper knew about the Ghostly Ancient Tomb's appearance in Lanqiong Mountain earlier than Headquarters, and began making preparations long in advance, setting up a base in the mountain.
After rescuing Xiao Yu and Yin Wenxian from Lanqiong Mountain, Hu Jiu casually set a fire to escalate the situation and expose Big Dipper's conspiracy.
It's quite normal for the person in charge of Big Dipper to come knocking on their door after they've done so many unethical things.
"To be honest, I'm quite curious about what kind of organization Big Dipper is," Hu Jiu asked with a puzzled look. Based on what he had seen so far, he could deduce that the coverage of the Big Dipper network was beyond imagination.
Song Yue immediately became serious and said very earnestly, "The purpose of Big Dipper is to save the world and contain Supernatural that pose a threat to humanity. All Supernatural should be handled by Big Dipper. Only Big Dipper can eliminate all supernatural phenomena and allow human society to return to its original technological foundation."
Her words were earnest and lofty, but Hu Jiu didn't quite believe them. Big Dipper treating its employees like expendable resources was hardly something a righteous organization would do.
Thinking this, Hu Jiu pulled a Golden Container the size of a cigarette pack from his pocket. Upon opening it, he found it filled with countless worms. Pointing to the horrifying mass of insects, Hu Jiu said, "So, your way of saving the world is to infect ordinary people with these worms and force them to go to haunted places to die?"
"This thing should be called a 'Parasite Soul,' right? After being parasitized for a long time, it will transform into a clone of the original body. How noble and great! Should I praise you?"
Hu Jiu spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if he were seeking justice for those innocent victims, but in reality, he was not that kind. He was just finding an excuse to stand on the moral high ground and point fingers. If he controlled the Parasite Soul, he would definitely choose the same path and parasitize any valuable person or ghost he saw.
The moment Hu Jiu took out the insect, Song Yue and Qiao Hong's faces turned extremely ugly. After Hu Jiu revealed the insect's name and abilities, their faces turned completely black.
"You Playing Cards are quite capable, even managing to uncover the secrets of Parasite Souls, but have you ever heard the saying, 'The more you know, the faster you die'?" Qiao Hong's tone was laced with threat.
Song Yue explained softly, "The Parasite Soul is not an evil thing. The person being parasitized will not be greatly affected. Every employee of Big Dipper has the Supernatural of the Parasite Soul. The so-called 'avatar' does not mean that we have become slaves to the main body of the Parasite Soul. We still have independent thoughts and will. It's just that our values, beliefs and faith are highly unified."
"Really? I don't believe it." Hu Jiu's face showed sarcasm, and he felt that Song Yue's mental state was problematic.
Song Yue was momentarily speechless. "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. You know too much. My suggestion is..."
"Let's have a fight!" Hu Jiu said coldly.
"Of course not!" Song Yue immediately denied. "I mean, let's cooperate. Big Dipper never minds maintaining long-term cooperative relationships with other organizations and sharing resources and intelligence."
Hu Jiu rolled her eyes. Did he think he was an idiot?
With Parasite Soul like these, organizations that cooperate with Big Dipper are undoubtedly lambs to the slaughter. It won't be long before the entire organization is corrupted by the Parasite Soul and gradually takes the shape of Big Dipper.
He was right. To date, many small Ghost Tamer organizations have fallen into this trap and become subordinates of Big Dipper.
Large organizations are not so easily infiltrated, after all, Parasite Souls are not invincible. Hu Jiu could detect them, and so could other powerful Ghost Tamers.
"You have no right to refuse," Qiao Hong said coldly. "Now that you know the secret of the Parasite Soul, Big Dipper will never let you go. Cooperating with us is your best option."
Hu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Who was the last person who dared to be so arrogant in front of him? He couldn't remember, anyway, they were all turned into corpses.
Qiao Hong played the bad cop, Song Yue immediately took on the good cop role. "I admit that the Playing Card Organization is indeed quite capable, but an organization like yours is simply no match for Big Dipper. The seven founders at the top of Big Dipper are all veritable Earthly Immortals, and the person who controls the Parasite Soul is just one of them."
Hu Jiu calmly took a sip of beer. The Playing Cards were just bait he casually threw out. If he didn't have Playing Cards, he could just create Clow Cards or Tarot Cards. As long as he could stir up the waters, that was fine. Chaos is a stepping stone; it's easier to fish in troubled waters when things are in disarray.
A strange aroma of alcohol filled the air, Hu Jiu's attitude remained indifferent. "I don't really understand. No matter how powerful the higher-ups of Big Dipper are, what does it have to do with you two good-for-nothings? You're about to lose your lives here, and someone's going to come and rescue you?"
"Do you really think those high-ranking leaders care about the lives of two lowly soldiers?"
"No way? You two are really that naive and childish?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Hong's eyes immediately reddened. Perhaps stimulated by the smell of alcohol in the air, his temper was more volatile than usual, and Song Yue couldn't stop him at all.
Qiao Hong activated the Fierce Ghost within him and kicked Hu Jiu from a distance. Hu Jiu didn't move at all and even took the time to whisper a few words in Xiao Yu's ear.
A look of shock flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes. The next second, Hu Jiu teleported behind Qiao Hong and slapped him on the back with his dark hand, neither too hard nor too soft.
Qiao Hong was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"How is this possible!" Both Qiao Hong and Song Yue were shocked. How long had it been since they had been so embarrassed since they were promoted to Special Employees of Big Dipper?
Song Yue reacted faster than Qiao Hong. While saying, "You really want to go against Big Dipper? Then don't blame us for being impolite!" she activated her Supernatural, and her seaweed-like long hair instantly surged towards Hu Jiu.
Yin Wenxian was so frightened that he jumped up and was about to hide behind the Queen of Spades when Xiao Yu grabbed him and stood resolutely in front of him, using the Supernatural Item on her body to block her hair.
"Big sister, are you sick? If you're not sick, eat more plums!" Yin Wenxian roared, unable to understand what was wrong with Xiao Yu. Was this the time to be stubborn? There was no need to put on such a show in front of the boss!
The next second, Yin Wenxian and Xiao Yu were bound hand and foot with hair...
