Hu Jiu received a distress call from He Ming.
He Ming was imprisoned, his first benefactor was Spirit Cat, because he realized from their daily interactions that Spirit Cat was not just a mascot, but possibly a powerful and unassuming figure.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Cat rejected him.
At first, he was a little sad. They used to play together so well, but when the accident happened, the cat avoided them like the plague.
However, he quickly realized that the Spirit Cat's tone when it refused was a little off.
"He's probably in some kind of trouble too," He Ming consoled himself. The Spirit Cat had helped him out of kindness, and it was its right not to. Although he was disappointed, he had nothing to complain about.
After that, He Ming called Hu Jiu. After all, he didn't have any other friends in this circle, and his usual "acquaintances" would never come to his rescue. There was no need to humiliate himself by seeking support.
"Old Hu, I can only rely on you now." He Ming unconsciously lowered his attitude. Actually, he and Hu Jiu weren't that familiar. Back when the Ghost Grass broke out, Hu Jiu protected him all the way. He felt that Hu Jiu was an extremely reliable person who could bring him a sense of security.
On the other end of the phone, Hu Jiu remained silent for a long time. He Ming, anxiously awaiting the result, offered a way out, "Is it inconvenient for you?"
"I have indeed run into some trouble~" Hu Jiu's tone was icy. From the moment he received He Ming's call, he felt as if he was being watched by something, with a gaze hovering around him. Fortunately, Hu Jiu had added all sorts of protection, concealment, and trace-eliminating abilities to himself, otherwise he was afraid that the gaze would see through everything!
"Oh, I see. Well, you go ahead with your work then. I'm not in a rush," He Ming said with a wry smile.
"Don't panic, just wait." Hu Jiu said this, then with a backhand move, he executed the Two Dragons Seizing the Pearl, thrusting two fingers of his right hand fiercely into a certain spot in the void!
"Ah--"
The Secret Peeker was far away in the Headquarters conference room, suddenly let out a painful scream, covered his eyes, and fell to the ground, rolling around in agony.
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Youhua asked in surprise.
The Secret Peeker cried out in a shrill voice, "That Ghost Tamer is suspicious! My abilities can't see through him at all!"
Ordinary people have no secrets in front of those Secret Peeker, like running naked. But Hu Jiu's past is like a thick fog, nothing can be seen. Although the Secret Peeker haven't seen any evidence to prove that Hu Jiu is bad, the fact that they can't see through his secrets is enough to raise concerns.
The Secret Peeker wanted to say something more, but suddenly her voice caught in her throat. Then she vomited, and a soft tongue came out of her mouth. Immediately afterward, her hands were ripped off. In the blink of an eye, a beautiful young woman became a bloody mess, her whole body convulsing and convulsing from the unbearable pain. Blood sprayed everywhere, staining the office floor red.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
Fu Youhua was shocked by the horrific scene and turned pale, but he remained calm and quickly ordered the Secret Peeker to be sent for treatment.
"What on earth did she just do?" The Prophet clutched his chest and backed away, his expression a mixture of panic and disdain. Was this the level of Headquarters? He felt embarrassed for Headquarters for being humiliated from afar.
After moving to a different meeting room, the atmosphere became somewhat tense. Fu Youhua pushed a document in front of the Prophet, "Could you try to make a prophecy about this person?"
The Prophet glanced through the information. "This is He Ming's second person he needs help with? Was the Secret Peeker who was spying on this person when the accident happened?"
Fu Youhua nodded.
The Prophet hesitated for a moment, but still activated the Supernatural within him. Countless strange images flashed before his eyes. His prophecies were not the kind centered on himself, only predicting the future related to himself. His ability was extremely rare and highly functional, capable of predicting anything in the world.
Prophecies do possess a degree of accuracy, with a very high accuracy rate when predicting ordinary, minor events. However, when predicting events related to the Supernatural, the accuracy can be affected to varying degrees. If another person with similar abilities were to simultaneously glimpse the future, the prophecy would become unreliable, and the future might even change from moment to moment.
After a long silence, the Prophet stopped his divination, his expression turning strange. "I cannot see this person's future; he is unpredictable."
Fu Youhua and Shen Jiliang exchanged a glance; they had caught a big fish!
Hu Jiu seems incredibly strong; could he be involved in the attack on the Capital and the invasion of the Headquarters?
The Prophet watched with amusement as the two high-ranking officials at Headquarters exchanged glances. If this Ghost Tamer Hu Jiu was just a charlatan, they could simply kill him. But if Hu Jiu possessed genuine skill, was exceptionally powerful, how should Headquarters deal with him?
With the situation becoming increasingly dire, is Headquarters willing to risk a complete breakdown in relations with a super-strong individual, regardless of the consequences?
Oh, at this point, we still can't determine Hu Jiu's true strength.
Shen Jiliang personally escorted the Prophet and arranged accommodation for him. The Prophet stayed at Headquarters during the cooperation period. Shen Jiliang coveted the prophetic ability but dared not take any drastic actions. He could only try to win him over through gentle persuasion.
The Prophet skillfully played the game of Tai Chi. He knew perfectly well how tempting his abilities were; he had been coerced and tempted so many times over the years that he had become numb to it. Not only outsiders coveted him, but even many within the Beidou Organization were vying for him, but he had politely declined them all. Those who pestered him relentlessly or even dared to threaten him would soon be killed by his prophecy.
Establishing private relations with Headquarters in one's own name is actually quite good, but he needs to observe for a while longer, at least to see how Headquarters handles this matter.
Shen Jiliang took the outsider, the Prophet, away, Fu Youhua immediately issued several orders.
Buzz--
Hu Jiu's Satellite Phone rang. It was operator Xiao Mei. He pressed the answer button. "What's up?"
"Here's the thing, Headquarters has an urgent mission. An A-level Supernatural event has occurred in Langzhou City, but the local officials and administrators are refusing to report it. The investigators and Ghost Tamer dispatched by Headquarters are trapped in Langzhou. We have reason to suspect that the city has been occupied and the people have taken over. Headquarters is organizing manpower to handle this matter, so you have been conscripted." Xiao Mei briefly described the cause and effect.
"Such a thing actually happened?" Hu Jiu exclaimed, feigning surprise. What could be worse than him using Linjiang City as a testing ground for Supernatural phenomena?
Probably not.
"These kinds of people should be killed ruthlessly, their entire families wiped out, only then can Headquarters truly establish its authority!" Hu Jiu said meaningfully.
