The Ghost Domain that had enveloped the four cities vanished.
The temporary command center stationed nearby immediately convened a meeting, issued a series of orders, and mobilized all departments.
There is still much to be done after the disaster: emergency infrastructure repairs, medical relief, public reassurance, and removal of any remaining Supernatural...
Fu Youhua and Shen Jiliang arrived in Xihe City with their men. In a short while, several armored vehicles stopped beside He Ming, and a group of people got out and surrounded him.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. The Human Skin Paper he was holding in his arms was radiating a chill, He Ming managed to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.
"Good job, young man!" Fu Youhua wanted to pat He Ming on the shoulder, but his hand passed straight through He Ming's body, startling Fu Youhua instantly.
Oh no, I'm too nervous, I've kept the image blurred!
Seeing everyone's surprised and uncertain expressions, He Ming relaxed a little. It turned out that even high-ranking officials were no different from ordinary people; they could be afraid and flustered.
"Don't misunderstand, this is just my ability," he explained.
"Heroes have always emerged from among the young. You've only just become Ghost Tamer, yet you've already made a name for yourself. On behalf of the people, I thank you for your heroic efforts." Fu Youhua disregarded the earlier embarrassment and offered sincere praise.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do." He Ming was very excited, but his face remained calm, only the tips of his ears turned a little redder.
The Golden Container he was holding was casually taken from him, and He Ming didn't say anything. After all, he was a complete newcomer and didn't know the specific procedures. Moreover, his credit was somewhat fabricated, as the whole process was full of unexpected events and coincidences, which even he himself found hard to believe.
But Fu Youhua wouldn't Neglect the meritorious contributor. He chatted with He Ming for a long time, unknowingly extracting a lot of useful information, including where He Ming obtained information about the Supernatural world, how he became Ghost Tamer, and what his specific abilities were...
He Ming lacked social experience and, apart from the existence of the Human Skin Paper, he missed almost everything else. With his subpar acting skills, Fu Youhua saw through his concealment at a glance.
Fu Youhua didn't press the matter, but his brows furrowed slightly. The name "Hu Jiu" appeared too frequently in his conversation with He Ming, and Fu Youhua instinctively wanted to frown whenever he heard it.
"Comrade He Ming, join Headquarters and serve the country. Your abilities are unique and can play a significant role in Supernatural events, saving more innocent victims." Shen Jiliang rarely showed a gentle smile and extended a warm invitation to He Ming.
Fu Youhua hurriedly added, "With great power comes great responsibility. Your strength should be used where it is needed. Headquarters will provide you with satisfactory treatment, wealth, gold, and even Supernatural Items that extend lifespan. As long as you make outstanding contributions, these are not problems."
"You've made a significant contribution to this Supernatural event. Headquarters will be transferring 300 million to your account shortly as a reward, and there will be further compensation later..."
He Ming's breathing suddenly quickened. What had he just heard?
The sound of little money!
Is this the world of Ghost Tamers?
Rise to prominence?
A meteoric rise!
"How could I refuse to contribute my own strength to the country?" He Ming couldn't suppress the upturn of his lips.
"I'll arrange an operator for you right away. You can contact the operator with any questions you have; just treat him like your personal secretary. To facilitate operations, each Ghost Tamer at Headquarters will have a suitable code name based on their abilities. You can choose one now." Fu Youhua's face was full of kindness. He liked young, promising, and responsible new Ghost Tamers the most.
"A code name?" He Ming pondered for a moment, "Let's call it Shen, like the Shen in Mirage..."
"Minister, there's something going on here!" A staff member rushed over.
"What is it!" Fu Youhua asked hurriedly.
After such a large-scale Supernatural event, the residual Supernatural power might cause some strange disturbances, or even form Supernatural Item.
"A surviving Ghost Tamer has been found nearby!" the staff member replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Youhua saw a young man with a pale face walk over.
"Old Hu? You're still alive! That's wonderful!" He Ming ran over in ecstasy.
Old Hu?
Tsk tsk~, you used to call me "Big Brother," but you changed your tune as soon as you became Ghost Tamer?
"You're still alive? Congratulations! A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune."
Hu Jiu's tone remained as cold and indifferent as ever, which reassured He Ming.
Although Hu Jiu's personality is quite complicated and she's completely unsuitable to be a friend, He Ming has a slight "suspension bridge effect" and a bit of a dependent mentality similar to a fledgling's complex, which will probably take some time to subside.
Fu Youhua, standing to the side, stared intently at Hu Jiu, while Shen Jiliang was also openly scrutinizing him.
"Hello, leaders." Hu Jiu greeted them politely.
Fu Youhua nodded and asked directly, "The situation here was extremely dangerous just now. How did you survive?"
"My phone died, so I crawled into Golden Corpse Bag and escaped death inside the sealed gold." Hu Jiu had already prepared his excuse.
Fu Youhua then asked, "What about the other Ghost Tamers? Where did they all go?"
"Shi Chang, the head of Xihe City, and Zhao Duohui, the head of Peishui City, were attacked by Ghost Grass and unfortunately sacrificed their lives. I don't know Zhao Ruying's whereabouts, and those people sent by Headquarters to provide support, they insisted on dragging me along to lure Ghost Grass's true form out, but we accidentally lost control and were killed by Ghost Grass. Seeing that things were going badly, I hid."
At this point, Hu Jiu showed a puzzled expression, "Why do those Ghost Tamers use the exact same abilities? Could there be an identical Fierce Ghost in this world?"
Fu Youhua remained silent, but Shen Jiliang spoke up, "This is classified information. If you want to know, you can sign up for the Headquarters' experiment. The success rate is very high, and afterwards you can also possess that ability to control water."
Hu Jiu waved his hand. "No need, I'm in stable condition right now, there's no need to take any risks."
"You've controlled more than one ghost, haven't you?" Fu Youhua suddenly interjected. He had sensed something was off during his conversation with He Ming earlier. Shi Chang and Zhao Duohui died quickly, so how could Hu Jiu handle an ordinary person with such ease?
Hu Jiu readily admitted, "That's right, I've already mastered a second ghost."
Shen Jiliang narrowed his eyes slightly. "So far, the success rate of controlling a second Fierce Ghost is still not high. How did you manage to do it?"
Hu Jiu chuckled inwardly. Wasn't this just giving him a chance to talk nonsense?
Some of my previous ideas seem to be ready to be implemented now...
