He Ming and Hu Jiu had just left the school and walked two blocks when a deafening whooshing sound suddenly rang out.
"Oh no! Hide!" He Ming grabbed Hu Jiu and ran forward in alarm.
"Is this retaliation? It came really fast." Hu Jiu saw a very special shell flying straight towards him. Using this thing in the city, they really have guts.
"That's not an ordinary shell. It contains a very special gold powder suspension. Once it explodes nearby, our bodies will be covered in a large amount of solidified gold powder. It won't harm ordinary people, but it's a weapon specifically designed to Ghost Tamers. I was almost captured alive by this trick before!" He Ming hurriedly reminded him.
No matter how powerful the Ghost Tamer, they can never affect gold. This is the most fundamental rule and logic of the Supernatural, which is why He Ming seems so flustered at this moment.
Hu Jiu didn't seem to care much. Unless it was a seamless and thick golden coffin that trapped him, how could a thin layer of gold stop him? That was ridiculous. This amount of gold didn't require any Supernatural power; a human finger could poke a hole in it.
Using a suspension of gold powder to form a thin film is quite effective in dealing with tangible but mindless Fierce Ghost, or specifically targeting the Insubstantiality of Mirage Ghost. However, it's best to forget about it when it comes to dealing with highly mobile Ghost Tamers.
The shells exploded, and the gold dust and turbid liquid that filled the sky shimmered beautifully under the streetlights.
Hu Jiu had already dragged He Ming away from the explosion site to watch a grand fireworks display. Looking around, he quickly spotted two people carrying portable rocket launchers in a black sedan in the distance, the launchers pointed directly at the direction of the gold dust explosion.
Hu Jiu winked at them, and in an instant, he and the car sank deep into the ground.
The good news is they didn't die on the spot; the bad news is they can only wait to die underground.
Hu Jiu turned his head again, looking at another spot. On a tall building, a person was observing him with binoculars.
However, when the man realized that Hu Jiu's gaze had been fixed on him, he immediately dropped the binoculars and ran away.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun Hu Jiu. Once Hu Jiu Observation him, he wouldn't be able to escape.
The person on the high-rise building was dragged away by a shadow, leaving no trace of their body.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and no one noticed what was happening.
"That was thrilling and exciting! The retribution came so fast, I wasn't prepared at all." He Ming's breathing was a little erratic.
"Let's go back to the city hall first; this city still needs a thorough cleanup."
Hu Jiu seemed completely unmoved, but He Ming inexplicably shuddered. Deep cleaning... was it what he thought?
Late at night, the lights were still on in a secluded conference room.
The conference table was full of people. The middle-aged man at the head of the table said in a deep voice, "Chu Shan is dead!"
"How is this possible!" Everyone present was extremely surprised upon hearing this.
"Could there be a mistake in the information?" someone questioned. "The two ghosts inside Chu Shan are both top-tier. Ordinary people are no match for him. Even if a particularly powerful Ghost Tamer comes, Chu Shan should be able to escape."
"Chu Shan is indeed dead. The Chu Family has special methods to investigate the survival status of their offspring, so there's no doubt that this news is true." The middle-aged man's face was grim.
"The key issue now is that Chu Shan's body is also missing. We checked the surveillance footage, and He Ming and Hu Jiu did not carry his body into or out of the campus."
"The dead Chu Shan is no longer of value, but the two ghosts he controlled cannot be discarded. Each of those two ghosts alone could create a top-tier Ghost Tamer, especially the Ghost-Drawing Talisman, which could easily support the operation of an organization!"
"Chu Shan's death is a major event in itself. If we also lose those two ghosts, everyone, I don't need to elaborate on the consequences, do I?"
As soon as the words were spoken, someone immediately said, "The body is gone. Perhaps Hu Jiu used some special method to send it away. I remember that after Hu Jiu killed the three Ghost Tamer sent to hunt down He Ming, their bodies also disappeared without a trace. Hu Jiu seems to like traveling light when he moves around. Could this mean that he has some kind of spatial ability that he can use to carry or teleport?"
The middle-aged man shook his head. "Hu Jiu's abilities are unknown. The Headquarters records only show that he controlled a very ordinary ghost, but it's clear that his strength is far more than that."
"Hu Jiu and He Ming are just two people. No matter how powerful they are, they definitely can't defeat the Chu Family. They're doomed."
"However, Chu Shan's death will surely enrage the Chu Family. Therefore, before the Chu Family's accountability and wrath arrive, we'd better control He Ming and Hu Jiu and let them bear most of the Chu Family's anger. Only then will we have a chance to catch our breath and survive."
At this point, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Trying to control Hu Jiu and He Ming? Were they joking? They'd already struggled to capture He Ming alone, and now they were adding the unpredictable Hu Jiu to the mix? Wasn't that just suicide?
The middle-aged man explained, "I don't mean to arrest them, but to find a way to keep them in Langzhou City and prevent them from leaving for the time being!"
"That's more like it," someone muttered quietly.
Meanwhile, in a distant city...
"What did you say! Chu Shan is dead? That's impossible!" An old and incredulous roar shattered the Silence of the night.
"Young Master Chu Shan has been confirmed dead. According to relevant intelligence, he most likely died at the hands of two Ghost Tamers from Headquarters." A young man in a black suit lowered his head and respectfully spoke to the white-haired old man in front of him.
"What a piece of trash! He controlled two such powerful Fierce Ghosts, Ghost-Drawing Talisman and Nightmare, and yet he was killed by Ghost Tamer from Headquarters? Chu Shan is utterly useless!" The white-haired old man was furious. He then asked, "Since he's dead, what about Chu Shan's body? Those two ghosts can't be allowed to leave the country!"
The man in the suit looked uneasy, but still forced himself to say, "Young Master Chu Shan's body is also missing."
Snap--
The old man smashed a teacup beside him. He didn't continue his rage, but his expression was terrifyingly grim. "The Headquarters really does produce a lot of talent. Our Chu Family's youngest direct descendant hasn't even had a chance to show his talent in the industry, and he's already gone. What a pity!"
"Chu Shan could have easily controlled Fierce Ghost and become a top-tier Ghost Tamer long ago, but he insisted on stalling for time, saying he wanted to 'experience more of normal life.' As a result, he fell behind at every turn. Chu Shan's death was due to his inferior skills, which is undeniable, but those two ghosts inside him absolutely cannot be lost!"
