"How about... you become the Minister of the Headquarters?" Fu Youhua suddenly said.
"Since the Research Department has produced a surge of new products, the threshold for Headquarters Ghost Tamer to apply for Supernatural Items has been greatly lowered, and the tense situation in the country has been effectively alleviated."
"As the saying goes, 'When you're well-fed and warm, Ghost Tamer desires; when you're full and have nothing to do,' once the group of ghost tamers becomes idle, the number of people looking for trouble increases. Dealing with disputes among Ghost Tamers is more troublesome than dealing with Supernatural events. My hairline has even receded a lot lately!"
Hearing Fu Youhua's complaints, Hu Jiu smiled and said, "This is all the good fortune you deserve. You should keep it and enjoy it."
The position of the Minister Headquarters is very important; Hu Jiu could easily imagine a whole host of problems just by thinking about it.
Investigating and handling Supernatural events across the country, personnel transfers and appointments, testing for Fierce Ghost and Supernatural Items, and cracking down on illegal organizations, etc.
The Minister of Headquarters not only concentrates power, but also has to handle a large number of affairs every day.
Hu Jiu had no desire to take on a troublesome task. He had already obtained power, and his top-tier strength was his foundation and the cornerstone for maintaining his privileges.
Whatever he wants to do, as long as he makes a request, Headquarters will do its best to help him accomplish it.
The Minister position was a burden to him; he only wanted to enjoy the power and not take on the responsibility.
Seeing that Hu Jiu refused, Fu Youhua did not press the matter.
Afterwards, Hu Jiu went to the Research Department and casually replenished the Supernatural Item warehouse.
Later, at the invitation of others, he taught a class to new Ghost Tamers, answered their questions, and taught them how to properly use the Supernatural to delay the Fierce Ghost Revival within them.
This group of new recruits are outstanding Ghost Tamers selected from across the country. They are not only quick-witted and determined, but most importantly, they have very positive values and are all promising young people with impeccable moral character.
They all had good tempers and listened to advice, which saved Hu Jiu a lot of trouble in teaching.
Although Hu Jiu himself is a bad guy, he doesn't dislike truly good people.
"Every Fierce Ghost is different, so the path others take may not be suitable for you. I hope you can all forge your own paths in the future," Hu Jiu said kindly.
"Teacher Hu, is this the only time you'll teach us?" someone asked with a reluctant expression.
Hu Jiu is very gentle. He doesn't glare at you during class, nor does he lose his temper. Most importantly, he shares a lot of valuable information!
Hu Jiu explained the mainstream and some niche methods for Ghost Tamers to extend their lifespan and enhance their strength without reservation, revealing them very clearly.
Compared to those teachers who frequently spread Supernatural threats or ridicule and belittle others, Teacher Hu is simply an angel!
"I'm very busy, but if I have time in the future, I'll come back to see you all and share my experiences. I hope that by then, each of you will still be alive and well," Hu Jiu casually offered a pie in the sky.
These newcomers are truly new; they are unaware of the dangers of handling Supernatural events, nor do they understand the impact of the Supernatural on their own thinking. In two months, it remains to be seen whether they will still be considered "good people."
After class, a Headquarters staff member approached Hu Jiu and handed him an encrypted document bag.
"This is the information regarding the island you previously requested to investigate."
Hu Jiu nodded, took the file bag, and opened it as he walked.
Star-Time Island?
Looking at the photos in the information, Hu Jiu confirmed that this place called "Star-Time Island" was indeed the location of No. 0 Door that he was looking for.
In fact, Star-Time Island is not an official geographical name, nor is it a single island, but rather a collective name for several islands in that sea area.
Star-Time Island is located in the Pacific Ocean and consists of four relatively large islands and several surrounding islets and reefs.
No. 0 Door is located on the main island in the middle, and there are also three smaller islands to the east, south and north, as well as scattered reefs nearby.
Star-Time Island was once inhabited, but it is now a deserted island.
Because all the native inhabitants of Star-Time Island committed mass suicide.
That horrific tragedy is still vividly recounted in the surrounding area.
Some say it was the work of a cult, others say it was the work of sea monsters; reports from various sources are vague, but the truth is that Supernatural events have occurred on that island.
However, the ownership of Star-Time Island is unclear, so no one is willing to take care of such a remote place.
However, occasional rumors have also surfaced. Some fishing boats claim to have seen the lighthouse on the deserted island, emitting a faint light during a storm; others say they have vaguely seen traces of human activity on the island.
Corpses occasionally float by in the sea near Star-Time Island. The origin of these corpses is unknown, and most of them have extremely gruesome deaths. Therefore, some people still believe that Star-Time Island is haunted and that ghosts wander the island.
The document contains very little useful information. After all, Star-Time Island is just a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, and it's difficult to even begin an investigation.
Putting the document aside for the time being, Hu Jiu also inquired about any recent unusual activity at the US-Canada border.
He fought so fiercely with the Eternal Night Organization before, I wonder what the situation is like in Glory City now?
Fu Youhua shook his head. After all, it was a matter for other countries, and Headquarters couldn't interfere that far. However, he hadn't heard of any major moves by those two countries recently.
Hu Jiu sighed. Putting himself in their shoes, he didn't think the Eternal Night Organization would let this go so easily.
Just as he was thinking this, in Linjiang City, a Ghost Tamer named Zheng Li was loitering near Hu Jiu's residence.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Zheng Li's face. After a moment of internal struggle, she finally made up her mind to break into the brothel!
He tiptoed onto the balcony and peered through the window into the room. It looked quite ordinary, except that there was very little furniture and household items, as if no one lived there.
Click--
Zheng Li smashed the glass and forced her way in.
But the moment he stepped into the room, he suddenly felt something watching him.
Looking around but finding nothing, he involuntarily became more vigilant.
Glug glug--
A sudden rumbling sound came from my intestines, the sound was chaotic, and it seemed like I had an upset stomach.
Zheng Li's expression changed instantly. She reached out and touched her abdomen, feeling something throbbing uncontrollably inside.
The next second, he realized that there was something wrong with his intestines.
At first, he thought it was a sudden digestive tract disease.
But as her intestines swelled uncontrollably, growing larger and larger, frantically pounding her belly, and even actively tearing at other organs in her abdominal cavity, Zheng Li knew that she must be under some kind of Supernatural curse.
My intestines seem to be... trying to pop out of my stomach!
