Hu Jiu returned to Great Desert City.
On the streets, the army was busy everywhere, moving about in an orderly manner.
At this moment, the disaster-stricken people felt the importance of national power.
The main disaster-stricken area is not in Great Desert City; the recovery work in Yunli City is the top priority.
The Ghost Domain of the Frozen-to-Death Ghosts covered such a vast area that it caused severe population loss.
Moreover, the Frost Ghost Domain spread so quickly that it gave people no time to react, and those affected froze to death instantly.
But precisely because of this, public opinion is actually a little easier to manage.
After all... there aren't many survivors, so there's no need to worry about people spreading rumors.
As for how to find excuses to cover up the truth about the Supernatural events and the mass deaths, that's something the higher-ups need to worry about.
When Yao Bo and the others saw Hu Jiu return, their faces lit up with joy, and they quickly gathered around.
Not only Yao Bo, but also Zhou Xiaomeng, Qiao Xinyuan, and Zhao Liu's group were following behind him.
The Supernatural event that affected Great Desert City did not cause much panic.
Apart from the area covered by the Frost Ghost Domain, the rest of the area remained completely unaffected.
Only that one area was completely and silently destroyed, but there were no subsequent Supernatural remnants, so it did not affect the reconstruction work.
This situation could be considered a bittersweet endeavor, at least the entire city wasn't turned into a complete mess.
Hu Jiu wasn't concerned with the aftermath; instead, he looked at Zhou Xiaomeng and Qiao Xinyuan: "The mission is over, I'm planning to leave. What about you two?"
He mentioned the mission to attack Tianji, and of the four members of the decapitation squad, only one Li Yunheng, was killed.
Qiao Xinyuan said, "I'll stay here to help. You guys do as you please, but you need to go back to Headquarters first and give a detailed account of what happened here."
Zhou Xiaomeng immediately said that she also wanted to leave, as she was not in a good state right now.
Yao Bo said from the side, "Headquarters has sent a helicopter; you can take it back to Capital."
"No need to trouble yourself." Hu Jiu waved his hand, and his figure disappeared on the spot like a wisp of smoke.
"Wait..." Zhou Xiaomeng to say a few more words to Hu Jiu, but it was too late; she hadn't managed to latch onto this powerful figure in time.
Hu Jiu went straight back to his old hideout, Linjiang City.
I spent some time upgrading and renovating my mansion.
Originally, his home was just a chaotic space, a maze filled with all sorts of traps and bizarre rules.
Now he has used the Magic Mirror's power to set up many more mirrors.
These mirrors reflect each other, creating a deep Supernatural space with layers upon layers of nested dolls.
Once an ordinary person steps in, they can forget about leaving.
After gaining control of the Magic Mirror, Hu Jiu was able to manufacture counterfeit and shoddy Supernatural Items even faster.
Yin Wenxian said that he is currently using these counterfeit and substandard Supernatural Items to expand into overseas markets.
In some foreign countries, the suppression of Supernatural events is not as strict as in China, and people in many areas are aware of Supernatural events.
Yin Wenxian can even openly advertise.
With this, even curly-haired baboons can survive Supernatural events.
Mom no longer has to worry about me being killed by ghosts.

Various marketing accounts have sprung up, and some have even produced promotional videos to attract customers' attention.
In China, Playing Cards haven't gained a particularly large reputation.
But abroad, Yin Wenxian seems to have let himself go. If he continues to mess things up like this, the Playing Cards will eventually turn into a live-streaming e-commerce company that promises "free food and lodging, guaranteed learning, and even those with zero experience can conquer Supernatural events."
Thanks to Yin Wenxian's bizarre and unpredictable actions, the Supernatural circles in some countries have transformed from their usual quiet and desolate state into a lively and bustling scene.
Although the Supernatural Items Hu Jiu made were all counterfeit and substandard products, they would break down in no time.
But its advantage lies in its safety and lack of side effects, which completely outclasses real Supernatural Items!
Yin Wenxian not only sells to Ghost Tamers abroad, but also has Playing Cards with some powerful ordinary people.
A very small number of ordinary people can use counterfeit Supernatural Items to fully equip themselves with supernatural weapons, making them far more powerful than ordinary Ghost Tamers.
Yin Wenxian effectively protected his safety in this way.
Many Ghost Tamers in China also have clandestine dealings with Playing Cards.
Hu Jiu had seen some of the things he had made on several of his colleagues.
The organization he casually created has somehow developed into this state on its own.
The market is flooded with a large number of man-made, counterfeit, and substandard Supernatural Items. There are almost no other vendors selling such inferior Supernatural props. Hu Jiu pockets 90% of the benefits brought by the monopoly.
The rest were divided among the active members of the Playing Cards.
Looking at the piles of Fierce Ghosts collected in the treasure vault, Hu Jiu felt that, to some extent, he had alleviated the pressure that the Supernatural Revival had brought to society.
It's a pity that Playing Cards struggle to penetrate the high-end market, mostly remaining a niche product for low-level Ghost Tamer.
Those at the bottom level Ghost Tamer face the problem of survival, so they need these counterfeit and inferior Supernatural Items that are harmless to the human body and can save their lives.
With less pressure to survive, powerful Ghost Tamers are more concerned with other issues and are naturally less willing to exchange genuine Supernatural Items for counterfeit ones.
Man-made, counterfeit Supernatural Items are ultimately limited in terms of usage time or number of uses.
Moreover, the Fierce Ghost or Supernatural Items that are traded by Ghost Tamers are mostly ordinary, without any particularly strong or extremely special abilities.
After all, nobody's a fool.
If the Magic Mirror were to be accidentally kept by someone else, such a valuable item, even if not needed for the time being, would probably be hard for anyone to bear selling.
Gu Dao has applied to serve as the head of Langzhou City, and the Headquarters' review results will be approved soon.
Xiao Yu unexpectedly became a Ghost Tamer, and her work focused on the orders Hu Jiu had given her.

This time, Xiao Yu actually learned about a truly bizarre and chilling Supernatural event—[Old News Broadcast]
Hu Jiu was carefully reading the information about this Supernatural event.
At that moment, the Satellite Phone suddenly started vibrating.
It was Xiao Mei calling.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Mei asked, "Hu Jiu, where are you? Are you not busy right now?"
"I'm not busy," Hu Jiu replied gently. "I've already returned to Linjiang City. Is there anything urgent you need me to do?"
Xiao Mei said, "That's right. The missions you carried out before, and dealing with the Frozen-to-Death Ghost incident, were all very important matters."
"If you have the time, you'd better come to the Capital to attend the meeting, receive your commendation, and discuss the settlement of subsequent mission rewards."
"No problem." Hu Jiu agreed readily.
