"Heh~ We're investigators sent by Headquarters. In this country, there are countless ways for Headquarters to find out what they want to know. Nothing can escape Headquarters eyes!"
He Ming did not reveal that Hu Jiu had subjected Chu Shan to torture and forced confession, but instead blamed everything on Headquarters.
Hu Jiu gave him a look that said "you're teachable," but there was a hint of regret in her eyes. He Ming didn't understand why Hu Jiu would show that expression.
Before he could think it through, Chu Yan's attack had already arrived. He didn't know how much of He Ming's words were true or false, but as Chu Shan's bodyguard, now that Chu Shan was dead, he had to bring these two people back to atone for his crimes. Otherwise, what awaited him was torture worse than death!
The Briber is very capable. Chu Yan's attack is to scatter money everywhere. Once you accidentally touch his money, it is considered that you have accepted his bribe. The enemy's hostility towards him will be weakened, and their aggression towards him will also be reduced. They may even be bewitched by him, resulting in effects such as changing their stance, turning against him, lowering their IQ, and becoming greedy and arrogant.
"Come help me!" Chu Yan shouted at the Snow Woman outside.
Heavy snowflakes drifted into the office, sealing off the surrounding space. The Snow Woman's true form was restricted in her movements, but she could still manipulate the snow. "This is my Ghost Domain, you won't leave!"
"Damn it, the other side has Ghost Domain, which allows them to attack or defend at will. This is too troublesome!" He Ming said, but he didn't panic at all.
Are you kidding me? Hu Jiu already subdued those ferocious Fierce Ghosts like Nightmare and Ghost-Drawing Talisman, so why would he be afraid of a mere Snow Woman and Briber?
As it turned out, He Ming's judgment was correct.
Hu Jiu stretched out his finger and scribbled randomly in the air.
The next moment, the Snow Woman's feet slowly disappeared, followed by her hands, head, and limbs, just like a snowflake rapidly melting under the scorching sun.
Chu Yan's eyes widened in surprise at this sudden turn of events.
"My body is disappearing. I really can't feel my hands and feet anymore, as if they never existed..." The Snow Woman said coldly, her ability to speak disappearing halfway through her sentence. Then her vision and hearing disappeared. Apart from her brain, which could still think, there was nothing else left, as if she had been completely erased by some kind of causal law.
Gradually, the Snow Woman discovered that her thoughts seemed to be frozen as well. Her perception of time became longer and longer, as if an entire century had passed, until she finally fell into an eternal slumber.
Outside, the Snow Woman's body completely vanished, turning into a handful of crystal-clear white snow. This only took a few seconds. That handful of white snow was the true form of the Fierce Ghost, but the Snow Woman who controlled the Fierce Ghost was gone, vanished from the face of the earth, and the Winter Ghost Domain was broken as a result.
Chu Yan was startled. He had expected Hu Jiu and He Ming to be fierce, but the reality far exceeded his expectations. There were not many tense and life-or-death scenes. Death came quickly and silently, and there was a sense of eeriness in the deathly silence.
Chu Yan suddenly felt the same chill that he had when facing the Chu Family ancestor Tianji. It was clear that their battle plan had failed. Not only had they failed to avenge Chu Shan and retrieve the two powerful Fierce Ghosts, but they had also gotten themselves into trouble.
"What should I do? What should I do!" Seeing that Hu Jiu had taken in the Snow Woman and was now looking at him, Chu Yan frantically racked his brains, his hands still scattering money, his legs subconsciously moving backward.
It was obvious he wanted to escape, but how could Hu Jiu let him go?
Chu Yan tried to hide. He had been hiding in the corner of the room without being noticed because he had a Supernatural Item on him that allowed him to achieve both optical invisibility and cognitive invisibility.
He became invisible again, but this trick was useless against Hu Jiu easily found him and casually put the Hanging Rope around his neck.
Chu Yan's expression changed drastically. There were four Ghost Tamer ambushed Hu Jiu and He Ming. They originally thought that even if they couldn't win, they should be able to escape unscathed. But how long has it been? They have all been wiped out here!
Was Hu Jiu just too formidable, or did Headquarters truly possess profound resources, allowing even a casually dispatched investigator to be so capable?
Chu Yan would never have the chance to know the answer to that question.
After killing Chu Yan, Hu Jiu did not hesitate at all and put his body into Golden Corpse Bag.
He Ming stepped forward, about to say something, when a vast and terrifying Supernatural aura suddenly descended, piercing through the real space from the unknown void, and pressing down on Hu Jiu and He Ming with overwhelming power.
He Ming's expression changed drastically. Hu Jiu grabbed his shoulder and disappeared in an instant.
As soon as the two left, a small black dot appeared where they had just stood. Then, the surrounding space began to distort in a vortex-like manner, and all matter from all directions collapsed toward the black dot. In just one second, the entire city hall building was gone!
He Ming turned around and gasped, "What... what's going on?"
Hu Jiu's expression was unusually grave. "Clearly, the Chu Family's attack on us is not over yet."
He Ming remained silent. As expected, reality is not like a novel. In novels, wave after wave of minor villains give the protagonist group experience points before the final villain appears. But in reality, the first wave of minor villains who came to test the waters failed, and the final villain directly took ruthless action, skipping all the intermediate steps.
A terrifying Supernatural aura locked onto them once again. Before they could think, Hu Jiu dragged He Ming away again, using the same trick. A small black dot appeared where they had just been standing, and everything around them was sucked in and disappeared.
He Ming broke out in a cold sweat. "What should we do?"
Hu Jiu pondered for a moment, just about to take action to eliminate his and He Ming's presence, so that the Supernatural aura could not determine their location.
But only half a second later, he changed his mind. Evil thoughts were surging and churning in his heart. He was not the kind of good person who would only passively retaliate when he was hit!
He reached out and plucked a hair from He Ming's head, then pulled a hair from his own. With a gentle exhale, the two hairs drifted together towards the most densely populated area of Langzhou City.
He Ming couldn't understand what Hu Jiu had done, but the terrifying Supernatural force that had been chasing them had indeed stopped.
He Ming a sigh of relief. As expected, Hu Jiu was the omnipotent Hula Aqua!
"Ah--"
A scream came from afar, followed by a commotion among the crowd.
He Ming's emotions, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up instantly. "What's wrong now?"
Hu Jiu's lips curled into a... gentle yet wicked smile.
