The blood-red, utterly tragic scene was engulfed by the bright orbs of Ghost Fire; the sea of blood evaporated frantically, and raging flames erupted on its surface.
"Fierce Ghost... it can be this powerful?" Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene that resembled Disaster.
Within minutes, the Ghost Blood evaporated completely, and the surrounding seawater overflowed.
The Ghost Fire- o'-the-wisps continued to burn, gradually dispelling the darkness over the Yellow Sea. A strange figure darted swiftly through the sea of fire, seemingly searching for the completely suppressed Ghost Blood essence. Unfortunately, it found nothing and could only sigh softly before turning and leaving.
As he left, a bright red sun gradually appeared in the sky, the darkness completely dissipated, and the sunlight shone warmly on my face.
But for the Zhanying, the disaster was far from over.
The Ghost Blood disappeared, replaced by uncontrollable Ghost Fire!
The ship was burning, and someone had the audacious idea of hiding underwater, forgetting that Ghost Fire are not ordinary flames; they are a manifestation of a Supernatural phenomenon, and ordinary water cannot extinguish them completely.
While Zhang Yuwei was barely protecting Fu Youhua, she and a few other conscientious Ghost Tamers also protected the ordinary people on the ship. How should I put it? Those who can endure hardship always have endless hardships waiting for them.
Clang--
The Buddhist Bell that rang on the Shichuan played its greatest role at this moment, at least ensuring that the two ships did not burn down too quickly.
The ghost Ghost Domain of the Ghost Fire- wisp is equally powerful. Ordinary Ghost Tamers cannot break out of their Ghost Domains, and are more likely to attract the Ghost Fire's entanglement due to the leakage of Supernatural information.
Of course, not everyone was sitting idly by and waiting to die. Amidst the chaos of war, Hu Jiu caught a glimpse of several figures who had disappeared by various means.
The dark and Supernatural phenomena in the Yellow Sea have disappeared, replaced by a new high-risk Supernatural event. However, Fu Youhua does not seem particularly nervous, because Headquarters is quite familiar with the characteristics of Ghost Fire and can already use them to make weapons, so they naturally have a very skilled and targeted containment plan.
So not long after, a second wave of support arrived from Headquarters.
The wind rises, the water stirs.
The Headquarters possesses Demon Winds and Filthy Water specifically designed to suppress Ghost Fire.
There's no need to rack your brains to figure out the weaknesses and containment plans for the will-o'-the- Ghost Fire; the mass-produced Ghost Tamers by the Research Department are more than capable of handling this situation.
Perhaps this is also the efficient and obedient army of Ghost Tamers that Headquarters has always been pursuing.
After the Ghost Fire on the Yellow Sea were extinguished, the incident came to a temporary end, but it left behind a host of unanswered questions.
The cleanup work is in full swing.
"The casualties numbered *** people. Some were melted into blood by Ghost Blood, some were burned to ashes by Ghost Fire, some died from other Fierce Ghosts, and a very small number were accidentally injured in the chaos."
"In such a large-scale Supernatural event, this casualty ratio is barely acceptable."
"The Zhanying ship was severely damaged and is almost totaled..."
The Headquarters was extremely busy. Although the Supernatural phenomena in the Yellow Sea had disappeared, the source had not been found. Many people were dispatched to the sea to try to find the real body of the Ghost Blood and the Fierce Ghost that created the darkness, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
One theory is that they were burned to death by the raging Ghost Fire. Finding two dormant Fierce Ghosts on the vast ocean would be extremely difficult. We can only wait until they revive and cause Supernatural phenomena again before we can truly find their traces.
Regarding the power of the Ghost Fire Bombs, many Ghost Tamer have been testing the Headquarters, both openly and secretly. Fu Youhua neither confirmed nor denied this, but his expression remained calm and confident. He took the opportunity to give those restless guys a good talking-to, seemingly letting them see the true strength of the Headquarters and warning them not to be too arrogant in the future.
The Ghost Tamer participated in the Yellow Sea operation returned to Headquarters. After a brief meeting to report and summarize, several people, including Hu Jiu, were left behind.
Staff member Xiao Su took Hu Jiu to an office alone.
There was no one else in the office. After waiting for a while, an elderly man slowly pushed open the door and entered.
His face was calm and serious, his sharp eyes fixed on Hu Jiu. As soon as he sat down, his voice boomed, preemptively declaring, "Hu Jiu, I need your cooperation with Headquarters' investigation!"
"Who are you?" Hu Jiu asked.
"I am Zhang Hongwen, the deputy Minister of the National Supernatural Phenomena Control Bureau. The Minister was injured during the operation and is temporarily unable to preside over the work. I am temporarily taking his place."
After speaking, Zhang Hongwen's expression changed. These were not the words he originally intended to say. He felt it unnecessary for him to condescend to explain his identity to a Ghost Tamer, but he couldn't help but introduce himself...
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongwen slammed his fist on the table, as if interrogating a criminal. "You really are a troublemaker. I'm warning you, you'd better behave yourself. Now confess the truth: how much information about the Supernatural events in the Yellow Sea did you fail to report? How much about your own abilities have you concealed? Why did the power of the Ghost Fire weapon suddenly surge? And where did the vanished Ghost Blood go?"
"This involves national security and collective interests. I hope you can tell the truth, otherwise your crime is punishable by death! It might even implicate your family!"
Faced with Zhang Hongwen's harsh words, Hu Jiu didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, simply saying, "One minute. Have someone else talk to me."
"You..." Zhang Hongwen roared in fury, pointing his finger at Hu Jiu, but Hu Jiu didn't give him a chance to speak.
Forty seconds later, the office door was pushed open again, and Shen Jiliang walked in, his breathing somewhat unsteady, his expression seemingly still carrying a hint of undisguised anger.
"I'm so sorry," he said, immediately apologizing.
"Was the new deputy Minister transferred from another department?" Hu Jiu asked casually.
"Yes." Shen Jiliang forced a smile.
"No wonder~" Hu Jiu drawled slightly, no wonder he was so stupid.
"He is, after all, the deputy Minister of Headquarters," Shen Jiliang said pleadingly.
Hu Jiu nodded. "Don't worry, he's just around the corner in the downstairs corridor."
"Please wait a moment." Shen Jiliang rushed out immediately and returned a moment later. His face showed no sign of anything unusual, but only he knew how furious he was inside.
Headquarters is a typical special department, Zhang Hongwen's old ways of doing things are really not suitable for this place. Does he really Ghost Tamers are ordinary people specially recruited into the system?
After Hu Jiu arrived at the office, Zhang Hongwen should have followed closely behind, but he was quite late, and with that attitude... even though he had been warned, he still...
Forget it, Shen Jiliang didn't want to think about it anymore. What could he do if higher-ups wanted to interfere at Headquarters?
