"Yan Lou will definitely rise again and turn defeat into victory!"
Some people in the crowd were still shouting.
That was a flamboyant man with the same snake-like face.
The others shook their heads at the sight. Even if Yan Lou could stand up again and turn the tide, what then?
He was whipped twice by Hu Jiu, and the face he lost was gone forever!
Tsk~
Hu Jiu glanced at Yan Lou with a mocking expression, his sarcasm evident in his eyes.
"Is that the person who keeps yelling your enemy? Are they just trying to make you look bad?"
Yan Lou's face immediately turned bright red, and he shouted at the snake-faced woman, "Stop talking! I really did lose."
As the one who actively instigated the conflict, losing is already shameful; trying to save face by force will only make it more shameful!
Yan Lou got up, quickly composed himself, and said with a forced smile, "You're very strong; you certainly deserve to be an S-class member of Big Dipper."
"But I still want to remind you, never be overly complacent. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. In battles between Ghost Tamers, defeat means death; no one can remain victorious forever."
Hu Jiu never liked hearing such lecturing remarks, and he simply replied with a smile, "No need for you to worry about it."
He then glanced around and waved his hand, "Don't you all have work to do? If there's nothing else, you can all leave."
Some people heard his words and actually turned and left, which led others to follow suit.
Upon seeing this, Yan Lou's face twisted for a moment. Hu Jiu really knew how to be overly familiar; his tone made it clear that he already considered himself a minor leader here.
However, it must be said that Hu Jiu did win over some people with his strength, and used Yan Lou to build momentum for himself.
It's normal for Yan Lou to be unhappy; after all, he was the stepping stone. But he started this whole thing, so he should bear the consequences himself.
Hu Jiu had some guesses about Yan Lou's purpose in making such a fuss. Perhaps Yan Lou represented some S-class members who really disliked Hu Jiu and wanted to take advantage of the fact that Hu Jiu had not yet officially joined Big Dipper to get rid of his S-class qualification.
Or perhaps it's for show, to impress Headquarters.
Although Hu Jiu came alone, his presence here symbolizes the Headquarters.
If the Headquarters and Big Dipper cooperate more deeply in the future, although they will be united against external forces, they will still need to prioritize and distinguish between different roles.
With this farce over, Hu Jiu continued with the formalities.
The process was very simple. It involved looking at Hu Jiu's recommendation letter, registering some information, checking in, and being notified that I needed to participate in Big Dipper's year-end assessment. That was it.
Hu Jiu was assigned a dormitory at this base. It was a very luxurious residential area with almost everything one could want, satisfying most of the needs of Ghost Tamer.
The person in charge of Big Dipper has not yet met with Hu Jiu, nor has he seen any other S-class members. The Big Dipper employee who led the way told him that this year's year-end assessment is very important, and everyone is busy.
S-class members also have to participate in the assessment and are all actively preparing.
"Mr. Hu, please don't misunderstand. We're not deliberately ignoring you. It's just that... you joined the organization as an S-class member, and no one in the entire base is of a higher rank than you. Even Mr. Yan Lou was only your peer. Besides... most of the people here are eccentric Ghost Tamers."
Hu Jiu nodded, indicating that he understood and there was no need to explain further, as it would only make things worse.
After arriving at the accommodation building, the person who had shown us the way left.
As soon as Hu Jiu entered, he saw a very young man sitting on the sofa in the lobby, listening intently to the old radio in front of him.
There was no signal at this Big Dipper base, not even the Headquarters' Satellite Phone could be used, and the exact location could not be determined. Hu Jiu felt that this place might be in a Supernatural space.
But the old radio in front of the young man started to broadcast. "It's time for the Old News Broadcast..."
"Old News Broadcast?" Hu Jiu subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
"Hmm?" The young man looked up, saw Hu Jiu, and casually greeted her, "Do you want to listen too?"
Hu Jiu nodded and sat down next to him.
The man's name was Wei Ze.
The two started discussing the topic of "Old News Broadcasts," and found themselves getting along very well, quickly becoming acquainted.
Wei Ze said that the "Old News Broadcast" was a Supernatural event with no known source. Many Supernatural Item or Fierce Ghosts in the form of communication media can often receive signals from the Old News Broadcast.
The Old News Broadcasts will report on events that happened at a certain point in the past, but these events are "modified" based on real events, and the content is very bizarre and outlandish, most of which are very horrifying and terrifying.
However, it is said that once Old News Broadcasts are widely disseminated, history may be distorted and covered up! The drastically altered broadcasts of Old News Broadcast will become fragments inserted into the river of history, falsifying the past.
Of course, this claim has no theoretical basis and is merely a reasonable guess.
However, there is a less common speculation: some say that history has been distorted many times by Old News Broadcasts, but when history is rewritten, people are completely unaware of it and only think that it is an absurd event that actually happened.
"Actually, there's another theory: the Old News Broadcasts are signals from Parallel Worlds, which can cause calamities that happened in Parallel Worlds to gradually overlap with those in the real world," Wei Ze said.
You should know about Parallel World, right?
Hu Jiu nodded. "I have some understanding, but not much."
The Prophet had told him this before, but had not gone into detail.
"You'll understand in time; Parallel Worlds are also one of our enemies," Wei Ze said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to ask further questions when Wei Ze smoothly changed the subject:
"I heard you defeated that Yan Lou guy? He's incredibly difficult to deal with; you really are impressive."
Some members of Big Dipper look down on the Ghost Tamer of state-run Supernatural organizations, and even more so on those Ghost Tamer in independent organizations.
After all, the members of Big Dipper are all highly skilled individuals selected through a rigorous process of "breeding and training," and they possess more secrets and have more ambitious goals. All these factors combined inevitably give people a sense of superiority.
Unfortunately... I got slapped in the face by Hu Jiu today; my cheeks are quite red from the slap.
Wei Ze reminded Hu Jiu, "Yan Lou usually loves to lecture others, putting on a good older brother act, but he's actually narrow-minded and extremely jealous. Be careful in the future, or he might cause you trouble."
Hu Jiu put on a fake smile and thanked Wei Ze sincerely, but in his heart he didn't care.
Narrow-mindedness is nothing compared to the utterly immoral, unscrupulous, and morally bankrupt Hu.
