"I am Yin Wenxian," the young man introduced himself.
"Just call me Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu still didn't reveal her real name and cautiously got into the car.
Compared to Xiao Yu, who looked gloomy, Yin Wenxian seemed very happy and in excellent spirits.
He had encountered something incredible before, and thought he had been haunted by a ghost, so he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he remembered nothing, but every cloud has a silver lining. In his dazed state, he found a magical playing card.
Xiao Yu was forced to join the organization to survive, while Yin Wenxian actively clung to its coattails. He knew all too well what the Supernatural meant in this era, as the wealth and power of ordinary people were rapidly depreciating.
Besides, if Yin Wenxian wants revenge, doing it on his own is too slow and risky. After joining a secret organization, taking down a few enemies is hardly a big deal.
"So, you should understand what to do next, right?" Yin Wenxian looked at Xiao Yu and said cheerfully, "Our main objective is to collect information on Big Dipper employees and Supernatural Items, and to test Big Dipper's reaction."
"However, all Supernatural Items have owners. If we forcibly 'collect' them, conflicts are inevitable." Xiao Yu secretly sized up Yin Wenxian, completely unaware of his background.
However, the order he relayed from the Playing Card Organization was to collect Supernatural Items, without specifying the methods. It was assumed that any method was acceptable, as long as the Supernatural Items were obtained.
So here's the question: how could an employee who possesses Supernatural Items willingly hand Supernatural Item over? The best way is to "hunt" for them.
This would undoubtedly put Xiao Yu in danger.
How many members does the Beidou Organization actually have? Probably no one knows for sure. Xiao Yu estimates that there are probably several hundred Senior Employees, and countless Ordinary Employees.
Compared to Senior Employees, Ordinary Employees have participated in more tasks, are more quick-witted, have stronger survival skills, and are ruthless.
These Senior Employees rarely interact with Ordinary Employees, unless they have certain "special abilities" like Xiao Yu, or possess Supernatural Items shortly after joining, like Ye Zhuxing, who naturally receives special treatment from others.
Because of the "persona" she had created, Xiao Yu had some contact with Senior Employees, but she didn't dare to get too close for fear of being exposed. Her little tricks could only fool newcomers.
Many Senior Employees have their own small circles; they are used to internal communication and rarely interact with outsiders.
However, Xiao Yu has some connections and knows where certain Senior Employees frequent. Now that she's on the wrong side of the organization, she has no choice but to lean more towards the Playing Card Organization.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu touched the back of her neck. The skin was smooth, but she knew there was a small spade-shaped mark there, like an inconspicuous mole.
This is a constraint imposed by the Playing Card Organization. Although the Queen of Spades never mentioned the consequences of betrayal, Xiao Yu was even more afraid, imagining a terrifying ending where she would be reduced to ashes.
The Playing Card Organization used both soft and hard tactics, leaving Xiao Yu with no choice but to obediently work for them. Faced with such an organization, she simply couldn't muster the will to resist.
Xiao Yu knew very well that if the opponent wasn't even afraid of Big Dipper, then she herself was naturally insignificant in the eyes of the Playing Cards.
"What are you thinking about?" Yin Wenxian looked at Xiao Yu with surprise. "I have a feeling you're thinking about some dark and cruel things."
Xiao Yu said helplessly, "The higher-ups want us to collect information on Big Dipper employees and Supernatural Items. I'm thinking about where to arrest them, how to steal their stuff, and whether I'll face retaliation or get beaten to death afterwards!"
Yin Wenxian was shocked. "Why are you robbing me?"
Xiao Yu was equally shocked. "How can I get Supernatural Items without stealing them? Maybe someone will give me something good on their own?"
Yin Wenxian suddenly realized. "It seems you have a deep misunderstanding about Playing Card Organizations?"
Xiao Yu: "???"
Yin Wenxian explained, "We're a legitimate organization; we wouldn't do anything evil or inhumane."
Xiao Yu: "Hehe~" Guess if I believe you or not?
"To obtain the Supernatural Items held by Big Dipper employees, you don't necessarily need to steal or rob them; we can conduct legal transactions." Yin Wenxian's face revealed a hint of longing.
"Didn't the Queen of Spades tell you? The core technology of the Playing Card Organization can efficiently and with low risk allow people to control Fierce Ghost and mass-produce some Supernatural Items with low side effects. Using these as bargaining chips, they only accept barter. Fierce Ghost or Supernatural Items can be used for trade, so I doubt anyone would refuse."
Xiao Yu was completely bewildered and speechless.
Was Playing Card Organization really that awesome?
"You did that on purpose! You deliberately spoke unclearly, making me misunderstand that you were going to steal something!" Xiao Yu glared angrily.
Yin Wenxian's lips curled up. "Just kidding. I heard from Queen of Spades that you're very smart, but you don't know much about the basics of the Supernatural world, only the surface. Let me give you a little lesson..."
After some banter, the atmosphere between the two became much more familiar. In fact, Yin Wenxian had always been like this, but too many hardships in his life had changed him. Now that revenge was within reach, he had slightly regained some of his true nature.
On He Ming's side, the messy troubles finally subsided. Headquarters issued a warning to the Ghost Tamers, so no one continued to come to him for "help".
He Ming felt a sense of gratitude towards Headquarters, so he stopped wandering around and stayed in the hotel to memorize his speech, occasionally playing with the cat.
On the day of the Headquarters meeting, he arrived a little early. There were many unfamiliar faces in the meeting room, including Hou Qingxu. When Hou Qingxu saw He Ming, he turned his head away and refused to talk to him.
He Ming's face was a little stiff and embarrassed, but he sat calmly in his seat playing on his phone. Gazes from those around him occasionally swept over his young and innocent face, each person lost in their own thoughts.
"Everyone's here, please take your seats. I'm Minister Fu Youhua, and I'm in charge of chairing this meeting. The main topics of this meeting include summarizing the relevant experiences from the Horror Grass Incident..." Fu Youhua stood in front of the conference table and spoke eloquently, spouting a lot of flowery but meaningless nonsense.
After that, Fu Youhua praised He Ming lavishly, using the most flattering words, as if the meeting had become He Ming's personal showcase.
He Ming felt both embarrassed and apprehensive; he... seemed unworthy of such a great reputation. The fact that he was able to imprison Ghost Grass was mostly due to luck and coincidence.
Unable to understand Headquarters' intentions, he had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Now, let's welcome Comrade He Ming, the hero of this operation, to give a speech. Please give him a round of applause!" Fu Youhua finally finished speaking and handed the podium to He Ming.
