"A super-powerful Fierce Ghost, capable of destroying the world, has fully revived," Hu Jiu calmly delivered this devastating news.
Fu Youhua, on the other end of the phone, gasped for breath and hurriedly asked, "And the good news?"
Hu Jiu: "The good news is that the bird-shaped ghost has just revived and hasn't completely spread out of control yet. Now, with all the resources of Headquarters combined, we probably have a 10% chance of winning."
Fu Youhua was shocked. "Only a 10% chance of winning?"
The next second, he suddenly realized something, "You're not going to help deal with that ghost?"
Hu Jiu gave a cold laugh, "Congratulations, you guessed right. That's exactly what I was planning."
"How could you... abandon us in such a critical moment!" Fu Youhua suppressed his anger, trying to salvage the situation.
"This is the first day you've met me? You don't know what kind of person I am?" Hu Jiu said with a look of disdain.
"Besides, my relationship with Headquarters has already quietly broken down, hasn't it? Although I don't know how you did it, you've already broken free from my control. In that case, don't expect me to do anything for Headquarters."
Fu Youhua's face flushed red. "You used Supernatural means to interfere with and control the Headquarters leadership, that was your fault in the first place. Do you want to be the emperor? What you should do now is to atone for your crimes, try your best to make up for the losses you caused, and strive for leniency!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Hu Jiu retorted without hesitation, "Power and authority are intertwined. To possess great power, one must acquire corresponding authority. I can forgo status and reputation, but I must have the power to make decisions, the power to choose, and the right to speak. If Headquarters doesn't want to give it to me, then I'll take it myself!"
"I possess the power to destroy a nation, so Headquarters should obey me and accept my control. Trying to break free from my control and then morally blackmail me into doing your bidding? What kind of pipe dream are you having?"
"Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!" Fu Youhua really wanted to blurt out this idiom, but he held back in the end, and only said, "Don't forget how many benefits you've taken from Headquarters and how much help you've received from Headquarters. Now that you've grown up, you want to be ungrateful?"
"Sorry, I'm a scumbag, I only remember grudges, not kindness." Hu Jiu hung up the phone after saying this.
In the Headquarters conference room, Fu Youhua was so angry he was jumping up and down, but he really couldn't do anything about Hu Jiu. After all, Hu Jiu was a ruthless character who dared to threaten his superiors with nuclear warheads.
Although no country has reported the loss of any nuclear weapons so far, Fu Youhua dared not gamble on it.
What if Hu Jiu really does have it?
"Was this situation also within your expectations?" Fu Youhua asked in an unfriendly tone.
At the head of the conference room sat a man dressed in a black robe, his face obscured. His voice echoed slightly, "Headquarters can't even control its own dog, and they have the nerve to ask me?"
Fu Youhua's lips tightened into a thin line, unable to utter a single word. He felt only pain in his stomach, liver, and head.
Actually, he had only been awake for a short time.
Previously, like most of the Headquarters executives, he was under Hu Jiu's control.
That kind of control wasn't about forcibly turning them into obedient puppets, but rather about keeping their self-awareness while ensuring their loyalty to Hu Jiu.
They only woke up when the black-robed man, who called himself No. 6 Proxy, came to Headquarters and personally removed the wooden bracelets from their hands, dispelling the Supernatural surrounding them.
Once he regained his senses, Fu Youhua, though outwardly furious, was filled with fear; Hu Jiu's madness truly chilled him to the bone.
Carefully recalling the time when he was controlled, Hu Jiu realized that the Headquarters had been attacked and Hu Jiu had come to provide support. After confirming that the Headquarters had no other trump cards and no one could defeat him, Hu Jiu immediately targeted the senior leaders.
Fu Youhua couldn't understand the logic of a madman's behavior. If he hadn't been forced to, he wouldn't have wanted to break ties with Hu Jiu at all.
But No. 6 Proxy helped them break free from control, was clearly no pushover either.
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. Fu Youhua sided with No. 6 Proxy almost without hesitation.
Hu Jiu really doesn't do any decent work, but No. 6 Proxy at least helped Headquarters eliminate some potential threats.
Fu Youhua never expected that his proud Ghost Handler Headquarters would be riddled with holes.
--A vengeful Fierce Ghost posing as a living person, and a group of office workers whose cores have been silently replaced.
A large-scale Supernatural event had previously occurred in the Yellow Sea. Headquarters organized a large number of Ghost Tamer to go to the rescue. The incident was eventually resolved successfully, but several Ghost Tamer were killed.
However, almost everyone Neglect the fact that during the return journey, an unexpected "person" appeared.
It distorted everyone's perception, making everyone think it was a colleague they weren't very familiar with. Even now, it's still active at Headquarters and has even accomplished quite a few tasks.
"Is Zhao Tingting really a ghost?" Fu Youhua asked, still somewhat dazed.
"Please trust my judgment," No. 6 Proxy said expressionlessly.
Fu Youhua: "Xiao Zhao is just a bit slow-witted normally; you can't tell at all that she's a ghost. If ghosts could evolve intelligence, it would be a huge disaster for humanity."
Number 6: "Zhao Tingting has no intelligence, no self-awareness, and even the name 'Zhao Tingting' doesn't exist."
"Her true form should be called a 'Fake Person,' or you could call her a 'Ghost AI.' She appears to be able to chat with you normally, but in reality, she collects information from her surroundings and automatically generates conversations. The more information she collects, the more human-like she becomes. Therefore, she appears very lively in a crowd, becomes listless when there are few people around, and reveals her true form when no one is Observation her."
"This ghost has only one rule for killing—don't notice anything unusual about it! Once you realize it's not human, it will attack you until it kills everyone who knows."
Fu Youhua: "Can Hu Jiu, whom Zhao Tingting sent, really be of any use?"
Number 6: "Just trying it out. What if it actually works and confuses Hu Jiu's perception, making Hu Jiu think it's an important partner? Maybe we can use that as a starting point to target him."
Fu Youhua shook his head. "You don't understand Hu Jiu. That kind of person... even his own mother couldn't help him. Because he's ruthless and heartless, he has no attachments. He has no weaknesses in that respect."
Number 6: "Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Have all the transmigrators at Headquarters been cleared out?"
Fu Youhua rubbed his temples. "The investigation is still ongoing."
A large-scale incident involving Otherworld transmigrators once occurred at an amusement park in Furong City, during which an alien Ghost Tamer codenamed [Queen] was killed.
They thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the Queen who was taken in was a fake. The real Queen had already infiltrated Headquarters and quietly replaced many people.
The Queen set her sights on a certain ghost in this world, and somehow, she attracted No. 6 Proxy.
Number 6 claimed he would eliminate all the hidden dangers in the world at once.
Fu Youhua was unclear about the specifics of the so-called "hidden dangers," and the Headquarters simply cooperated with certain deployments without knowing anything about them.
