"What's this?" Hu Jiu suddenly noticed a thick picture book on the table.
"It's a record of recent major Supernatural events that have garnered attention both domestically and internationally. Although it only contains some basic information, it might be useful in the future, so you can take a look," Xiao Su replied.
Hu Jiu casually flipped through the page and saw that one of the pages read, "[The Red Spider Lily] Incident".
Below is a picture showing crimson, alluring spider Red Spider Lilies growing amidst a field of corpses. This Supernatural event occurred in Japan.
Turning the page, it was still about Japan Supernatural events: [Great Black Buddha Mother].
There are no accompanying pictures, only textual descriptions. The Source Ghost is extremely polluting, and photos can also spread its pollution.
Continuing to browse, Hu Jiu came across a record of another S-class Supernatural event, which occurred in Europe and was codenamed: [Evil Lurking].
"These messages should all be classified information, right? Why are they put here for people to read?" Hu Jiu asked as he looked through them.
"Some major international Supernatural events simply cannot be concealed, and besides, given your position, you are qualified to access this information," Xiao Su said.
Hu Jiu quickly flipped through the documents and roughly learned about many shocking events, but unfortunately he couldn't find any records related to "time".
As it approached nine o'clock, Xiao Su said, "The meeting is about to start, please follow me."
Hu Jiu put down the picture book, stood up, and followed behind Xiao Su.
It's clear that this meeting is extremely important, as it concerns the Law Enforcer Plans. The country's top Ghost Tamers have gathered together, and every move they make could influence the future course of events.
The meeting was held in a very special office, which was very large but had very few items inside, no security personnel, and only a huge round table and chairs.
"We're here. I can only take you this far. I don't have the authority to go any further," Xiao Su said.
"Okay, see you later." Hu Jiu walked into the conference room alone.
Quite a few people were already seated inside, and to Hu Jiu, everyone present was a stranger.
Some people took the meeting very seriously, sitting upright and formally, while others were clearly not very concerned and were quite relaxed.
Although there were quite a few people, the conference room was unusually quiet. Hu Jiu's arrival did not cause any ripples. Only a few people looked up and secretly sized him up before quickly lowering their heads again.
Hu Jiu found the chair with his seat nameplate and sat down quietly. The space between the left and right sides was large, probably to prevent the Ghost Tamers from getting too close and causing conflicts.
A quick glance around revealed only twenty-odd Ghost Tamers. There were probably more invited people than that, but some might not have come, or perhaps something came up.
Most people remained silent, each going about their own business, while a few, seemingly very concerned about the Law Enforcer Plans, viewed the others present as potential rivals, their vigilance palpable.
Hu Jiu felt that those who were carefree and extremely relaxed might be more worthy of his attention.
Time passed slowly, and the tedious wait finally came to an end.
With the Headquarters executives arriving and taking their seats, Fu Youhua cleared his throat. "Everyone's here, so I hereby declare this meeting open. There are two main topics for this meeting. First, I have some bad news to share. Unfortunately, we have to inform you that the first country in Asia to be completely overwhelmed by Supernatural has emerged, and that is South Korea."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
At this moment, the projector was turned on, and a huge image appeared on the screen: an aerial view of Seoul City.
Fu Youhua recounted the beginning and end of the country's fall to the Japanese.
A Ghost Tamer, using his special abilities, first took control of South Korea's Supernatural departments, then gradually seized control of the government, and slowly extended his clutches towards the chaebols and the people. The neighboring countries were initially completely unaware, and did not even notice anything amiss.
And so, this Ghost Tamer remained hidden in the shadows, quietly and stealthily developing his power.
However, recently, his condition seemed to have deteriorated, showing signs of spiraling out of control, and it was getting increasingly serious that other countries noticed the anomaly...
Everyone listened quietly and attentively to Fu Youhua's words. Top-tier Ghost Tamer would not overlook even the slightest bit of information; missing any piece of information could lead to huge mistakes in Supernatural events.
"According to Headquarters' investigation, we have initially uncovered information regarding the Ghost Tamer usurped the South Korea government." Fu Youhua paused, deliberately building suspense, before continuing, "He calls himself [Beauty Goddess], and his ability is indiscriminate charm; those who fall for his charm become his fanatical followers, willingly serving his every command..."
Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed.
Fu Youhua continued, "Currently, the Beauty Goddess may have lost control, the Ghost Tamer may be dead, the true Fierce Ghost Revival, and that alluring Supernatural pollution is spreading in all directions. The area next to South Korea is probably almost overrun as well, and the regions bordering the Korean Peninsula in our country have also been severely affected..."
"How come we didn't hear a single word about something this big before?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Fu Youhua sighed, "Because those who are bewitched appear no different from normal people on the surface, making them difficult to distinguish, South Korea's social order has not collapsed and is still maintaining a semblance of operation. If it weren't for the fact that the Beauty Goddess herself had a problem and people hadn't noticed anything amiss, we might still not realize that something was wrong with that country."
Everyone present immediately perked up, and many subconsciously thought of a similar Supernatural event— the Red Moon.
The terrifying and pervasive nature of that pollution is enough to send chills down your spine.
However, those corrupted by the Red Moon can still be distinguished to some extent by their outward appearance or simple tests.
Someone quickly asked, "Is there a way to identify those who have been corrupted by the Beauty Goddess?"
Fu Youhua shook his head heavily. "Unfortunately, not yet. That's the most terrifying thing about the Beauty Goddess. You have no idea whether those friends and family members who seem perfectly normal and chat intimately with you are actually fans of the Beauty Goddess..."
Hu Jiu's expression was strange, because in his memories of his previous life, the code name "Beauty Goddess" should belong to a high-level Ghost Tamer under Headquarters.
Are these two Beauty Goddess from past and present lives connected in some way? Or are they simply using the same code name?
South Korea has always had a thriving entertainment industry, so it's surprising that such a person has emerged from there. This "Beauty Goddess" could be considered a unique kind of national idol, right?
What is this? Fan culture invading reality? Are all those corrupted by this fanatical, brainwashed worshippers of Beauty Goddess?
