Headquarters' Explanation, a New Secret Organization

The Ghost Fire continued to burn in the deep pit.

The area has been cordoned off.

Hu Jiu bought a cup of milk tea, sat on a nearby stone bench, and quietly watched the group of Ghost Tamers busy at work.

Countless vicious, horrific, and inhumane thoughts surged from the depths of his heart.

Just then, the Satellite Phone started vibrating.

It turned out to be Shen Jiliang calling from his private phone.

Hu Jiu pressed the answer button, Shen Jiliang didn't waste any words, simply recounting everything that had happened in the Headquarters conference room.

As he spoke, Hu Jiu's expression gradually became playful and mocking.

"Thanks for reminding me."

The call ended.

The group of ghost -Ghost Tamer from the Research Department who had been surrounding the fire pit and dealing with the will-o'- Ghost Fire seemed to have received an urgent order and immediately withdrew.

Fortunately, the Ghost Fire did not spread outwards.

Hu Jiu got up and threw the leftover milk tea into the trash can.

Buzz--

It was the vibration of Satellite Phone call again.

"Hello, Hu Jiu." The person on the other end of the phone was Xiao Mei, the operator.

"Hmm," Hu Jiu replied indifferently.

Xiao Mei's tone was three times more cautious than usual. "It's like this, regarding the incident where you were unexpectedly attacked, Headquarters has released the preliminary results of its investigation."

"Go ahead and speak, I'm listening." Hu Jiu said expressionlessly.

Xiao Mei slowly said, "The staff members in charge of managing the Supernatural weapons depot have run into trouble. They've all been taken hostage by criminals, which is why they launched that Ghost Fire Bomb."

"Headquarters has identified a transnational organization as the prime suspect."

"Oh~, it was done by a foreign organization?" Hu Jiu's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"The Headquarters could actually be infiltrated by foreign forces. It seems we need to strengthen our defenses in the future. If a similar incident were to occur again someday, then... things would be in serious trouble."

Although it was just a phone conversation, Xiao Mei still felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason. She quickly said, "Please rest assured, the Headquarters' security defense system is being upgraded, and similar incidents will absolutely not happen again."

Hu Jiu Neglect this pointless chatter and asked directly, "What specific intelligence do you have about that transnational force?"

Xiao Mei dutifully stated, "That organization is called The Eternal Night, known domestically as 'Evernight,' and its earliest founders are suspected to be from the America."

"Evernight is a rather secretive organization that has recruited Ghost Tamers from all over the world. I'll send you some details later. You must be careful; if you encounter members of this organization, try to avoid direct confrontation."

Hearing this, Hu Jiu lowered his eyes slightly. "Evernight? That's indeed an unheard-of name. Since it's a secret organization, how did Headquarters manage to investigate and locate it in such a short time?"

"Don't underestimate the Headquarters' intelligence system. Although I'm not qualified to contact the intelligence department, the Headquarters' intelligence network is definitely one of the best in the world." Xiao Mei's voice carried a hint of pride.

Changing the subject, she added, "Because you are a victim of this incident, Headquarters has allowed me to disclose this classified information to you. However, you should abide by Headquarters' confidentiality agreement and not divulge it to any third party."

"Also, Evernight is, after all, an international organization. The Headquarters will handle the matter of your previous attack entirely. You must not retaliate in your personal capacity, so as not to damage the Headquarters' international image or disrupt the international situation."

Hu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, am I that impulsive?"

Am I the kind of person who will let things go?

A clandestine organization tucked away in some remote corner, and they've somehow managed to escalate it to the international situation? They really know how to elevate a topic like that!

"Headquarters will compensate you for emotional distress after this attack, along with the rewards from your previous team raid on Tianji and the resolution of the Frozen-to-Death Ghost incident."

"However, you should be prepared that the reason the 'Frozen-to-Death Ghost' incident occurred is because your team failed to handle Tianji perfectly, so the reward will be reduced."

Xiao Mei seemed a little uneasy when she said these words.

"Okay, I understand." Hu Jiu's attitude was quite calm and gentle.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Beep--

In the Headquarters operator's office, Xiao Mei stared at the disconnected phone, a look of confusion and disbelief on her face.

Just a few days ago, she overheard a colleague say, "What can a switchboard operator really say?"

When you encounter a grumpy and unpredictable Ghost Tamer, damn it, what can the operator say?

I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck!

Xiao Mei recalled the time she spent working with Hu Jiu, and she repeatedly exclaimed how lucky she was to have met such a good- Ghost Tamer.

Compared to those Ghost Tamer frequently curse, lose control of their emotions, or even threaten to kill the entire family of the operator, the gentle and meddlesome Hu Jiu is practically an angel.

In reality, the operator is just a mouthpiece; they have no voice or decision-making power. If the Ghost Tamer is dissatisfied, why would they take it out on the operator?

If you're so capable, go and cause trouble at Headquarters!

While thinking, Xiao Mei didn't forget to send the information to Hu Jiu.

Hu Jiu obtained Evernight's information and began to examine it carefully.

Evernight is an international secretive organization with an unclear purpose, and its members almost never identify themselves when they are on missions.

For a long time, very few people knew of the existence of Evernight; they only knew that its members came from some nameless "unknown force."

The Headquarters learned about Evernight because the organization had been active in China recently, recruiting promising Ghost Tamer tamers and collecting Supernatural Items.

On the other hand, it's because of Big Dipper.

The Big Dipper and the Evernight are antagonistic to each other.

While investigating Big Dipper, Headquarters unexpectedly obtained information related to Evernight.

However, this intelligence was not detailed enough.

But that's alright, knowing the name "Evernight" is enough.

Hu Jiu had his own intelligence organization, and coincidentally, Playing Cards had already begun to develop overseas.

He immediately issued a new order to gather information about the Eternal Night Organization.

Given Hu Jiu's vicious, evil, and almost entirely black character, it's impossible for him not to retaliate...

He can't stand being wronged.

"I love Headquarters, and Headquarters should love me in return; I contribute to Headquarters, and Headquarters should provide me with positive feedback; I was attacked by foreign forces, and Headquarters should seek justice for me."

"We can't just shout louder and louder when it comes to giving back, but then stammer and pretend to be deaf and dumb when it comes to receiving something in return, can we?"

Hu Jiu thought to himself, but then suddenly realized that he, a parasite, seemed to have no right to say such things.

Never mind then.

He could use the Headquarters' name to cause trouble for Evernight without authorization.

I imagine Headquarters won't mind.

If you mind, then just bear with it.

After all... Headquarters was also one of his targets.
