In Capital, a Headquarters staff member with thick eyebrows and large eyes wiped the cold sweat from his face, his expression quite serious.
At this moment, the street and buildings in front of him had been completely blocked off. This was a large supermarket, which was originally the scene of an unsolved Supernatural incident.
-- C-class Supernatural event [The Supermarket You Can't Get Out Of]
Initially, it was noticed that customers and employees who entered the supermarket never came out again.
After receiving the report, Headquarters quickly confirmed that it was a Supernatural event.
However, since only this supermarket was affected and the Supernatural phenomenon did not spread, it was only classified as C-class, even though it could not be resolved.
Afterwards, the Headquarters sent several Ghost Tamer to investigate, but they were all helpless. Finally, the Ghost Tamer took over the case placed a Supernatural seal on the supermarket.
After that, ordinary people could not get close to the supermarket, and most Ghost Tamer could not get in either.
Yesterday, Headquarters escorted a serious criminal back from Furong City, keeping everyone in the department very busy.
[The Supermarket You Can't Get Out Of] suddenly rioted that night, and by the time Headquarters received the news and rushed to the scene, the situation had already deteriorated to a certain extent.
There were many survivors inside the supermarket. They saw an opportunity to escape and frantically ran out.
But the moment they stepped out of the supermarket, they seemed to freeze in place as a strange, blurry phantom slowly approached them.
The size and shape of that thing seemed to change constantly. It had gleaming eyes and a canine-like jaw, and its tongue resembled a straw. Without exception, anyone who touched it vanished into thin air.
It was clearly a Fierce Ghost.
The people at Headquarters were standing outside and witnessed the whole thing. They tried everything they could to save people, but no matter what kind of Fierce Ghost or Supernatural Item they used, it had no effect whatsoever. It was as if the Fierce Ghost did not exist in reality and could not be interfered with.
They could only watch helplessly as the survivors who pleaded for help died one by one.
The good news is that after killing all the survivors in the supermarket, the Fierce Ghost didn't go outside to continue its rampage; instead, it disappeared in a bizarre way.
The bad news is that the Fierce Ghost has vanished without a trace. With such a terrifying Fierce Ghost roaming the Capital, everyone is living in fear. If it cannot be contained as soon as possible, many more people will likely die when it reappears.
The two Ghost Tamer temporarily took over the case rushed to the scene as quickly as possible. However, no matter where they started their investigation, they couldn't find any clues. Not only could they not find the whereabouts of the Fierce Ghost, but even those who were killed by the ghost had vanished without a trace, leaving not even ashes behind.
Fortunately, many people at the scene witnessed the form of the Fierce Ghost. Based on the witnesses' descriptions, the two Ghost Tamers went back and reviewed the Headquarters' records.
"It's not a registered, uncaptured wandering Fierce Ghost; it's likely newly appeared, and may be the source of the 'no one leaves' Supernatural phenomenon in the supermarket..."
"Fortunately, it's not some conceptual, intangible ghost; it's a visible entity, so we can eventually find a way to contain it."
At that very moment, a kilometer away from the supermarket, a man in his thirties, wearing a brown jacket and with a high hairline, was gazing in the direction of the supermarket, his face filled with worry.
He's been targeted by that ghost. If he can't find a solution in time, he'll die and disappear like the other victims in the supermarket, leaving no trace.
But there's no way to deal with that Fierce Ghost!
All he can do now is stall for time and try to avoid being found by the Fierce Ghost.
"How interesting. I never expected that someone at Headquarters would be controlling Fierce Ghost related to time."
A cold, deep voice came from behind the man, startling him. He turned around and saw a dark figure staring intently at him.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" the man asked, feigning composure.
"Heh~" The shadowy figure chuckled, "Stop pretending. The fact that you've been targeted by that Fierce Ghost means you must have time-traveled. That Fierce Ghost's rule is that anyone who time-travels will be targeted and killed by it."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically. "How do you know these things?"
The shadowy figure smiled, "While time-related Fierce Ghost are rare, they are not unique. You are in great danger right now and could die at any moment, but I can teach you a way to evade Fierce Ghost pursuit."
"But this isn't free; in return, you have to do things for me."
"No problem." The man agreed without hesitation. Facing imminent disaster, survival was the priority before considering anything else.
The shadowy voice was smug. "A wise man submits to circumstances. You've made the right choice. The first thing I need you to do is... find someone and find a way to kill him!"
"I see~" Hu Jiu's voice was erratic, tinged with malice.
"Kang Yu, you weren't trapped in Green Fir Private Hospital at all! This was a trap you deliberately set to harm me!"
Hanging from the Hanging Rope, Kang Yu kicked his legs, his face turning purplish-red, completely unable to speak.
However, he is a Ghost Tamer after all, so he won't die anytime soon.
Kang Yu hadn't expected Hu Jiu to be so difficult to deal with. He had dug many pitfalls in that abandoned hospital, especially the Ghost Doctor who forcibly treated people. Anyone who encountered him would either die or suffer greatly.
He even planted some kind of bomb specifically designed for Ghost Tamers in the hospital. Despite all these preparations, he couldn't even harm a single hair on Hu Jiu's head.
After the hospital exploded and collapsed, Kang Yu thought he had succeeded, but the next second he was hoisted Hanging Rope. Then his consciousness was invaded, and he was forced to tell everything he had done without reservation.
Hu Jiu retracted the Hanging Rope, and Kang Yu fell to the ground with a thud.
"I'm sorry!" Kang Yu immediately lowered his head and apologized as soon as he was able to speak.
He is such a resilient and adaptable man!
Of course, he also understood that a verbal apology was meaningless and that he would have to make huge compensation.
But as long as he can survive, it doesn't matter how much he has to pay, since Headquarters will clean up his mess.
Although his plot to harm Hu Jiu was his personal act, Headquarters was completely unaware of it. In fact, Headquarters was deceived by him into believing that he was truly in danger, which is why they sent Hu Jiu to rescue him.
But he was confident that the Fierce Ghost he controlled was too special, precious, and unique. After his death, perhaps no one else would be able to control it, so Headquarters would definitely protect him.
In a sense, he was fearless.
Thinking this, Kang Yu's lips curled into a confident smile.
