Entering Dachang City
"Alright, Captain Zhao, we need to get to work." Just as Zhao Jianguo was still talking non-stop, Ye Zhen interrupted him.
"Alright, I'm leaving Dachang City to you. I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible," Zhao Jianguo said without showing any displeasure at being interrupted.
"Headquarters is still so petty. You're just giving me money to rescue Professor Wang."
Now you want me to resolve this incident?
This is an S-class incident; it's not impossible to resolve, but it will cost more money.
Ye Zhen didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"Anyone can talk big? And you think you can solve this problem? There are so many of us who can't do anything, and you think you can?" one of the Ghost Controller tamers said.
"Captain Zhao, you should really keep an eye on these useless subordinates. They're all not only incompetent, but they also lack any self-awareness." Ye Zhen wasn't going to tolerate this guy and immediately launched into a tirade, insulting every Ghost Controller present.
"You..." The Ghost Controller around him glared angrily at him, as if they were ready to kill him at any moment.
"Hmph." Ye Zhen immediately activated his Ghost Domain, and Ghost Controller present felt as if they were facing a terrifying vengeful Vengeful Ghost, their own Vengeful Ghost almost falling silent.
As for ordinary people like Captain Zhao, they were in even worse shape, on the verge of sudden death at any moment.
Ye Zhen then withdrew his Ghost Domain.
Those Ghost Controller are quite arrogant; only strength can subdue them.
Only then did these people realize that Ye Zhen, known as the number one Ghost Controller in Asia, was indeed worthy of being able to suppress so many of them Ghost Controller, all by himself.
Some even found it hard to believe that Ghost Controller could be so powerful.
"Alright, let's continue discussing the matter in Dachang City. Our first priority is to rescue Professor Wang."
"It would be even better if this matter could be resolved; the price is negotiable."
Zhao Jianguo gave his own Ghost Controller a way out.
"What's there to discuss? You just want to get something for nothing, don't you? Do you think I don't know you?"
When I actually need something from you, you'll probably just brush me off with a "I don't have permission" statement.
Ye Zhen pouted.
"Let's go in and get Professor Wang out first. We can talk about other things later."
Seeing that Captain Zhao was about to say something, Ye Zhen interrupted him directly.
"Yes, yes, let's get Professor Wang out first. I'll let Li Jun go in with you; he's quite capable and can help you complete the mission," Captain Zhao said.
"No, the two of us can go in. It would be too much trouble to have others follow and protect them," Ye Zhen refused directly.
Without waiting for Captain Zhao and Li Jun to object, Ye Zhen directly activated the Ghost Domain and led Richard into Dachang City.
A group of people outside watched as Ye Zhen and his companion easily entered Dachang City.
This was a slap in the face to a group of Ghost Controller couldn't even get into Dachang City.
Especially the person who just refuted that argument; putting aside whether it can be resolved, at least that person is already in jail.
And they were still standing there, doing nothing.
Zhao Jianguo remained silent; perhaps Headquarters really needed to change its strategy towards the Ghost Controller.
The role of a top-tier Ghost Controller is undeniable.
Faced with increasingly difficult paranormal events, simply increasing the number of Ghost Controller will not solve the problem.
Instead, it requires training top-tier Ghost Controller.
One top-tier Ghost Controller is more effective than ten or even a hundred ordinary Ghost Controller.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have much say at Headquarters. He should go back and write a suggestion to his superiors, hoping it will attract their attention.
Li Jun clenched his fist; he was a staunch direct subordinate of Headquarters. When Professor Wang was trapped in Dachang City, Headquarters immediately transferred him over.
Unfortunately, he wasn't capable enough to get into Dachang City.
This made him feel very guilty, as he felt it was all because he wasn't strong enough.
Li Jun was a pure person, without many utilitarian thoughts. He only wanted to end this chaotic world overrun by Vengeful Ghost as soon as possible, and he was willing to pay the price of his life for it.
What the other Ghost Controller were thinking was anyone's guess. They were probably even contemplating killing the two of them inside.
Meanwhile, the two who entered Dachang City were soon targeted by the Starving Ghost Derived Ghost Infant.
Richard watched the little creature charging towards him with great interest. He had to admit, the little thing was strangely ugly.
It's still Derived Ghost Infant in the form of an infant, probably only in the first stage, at most no more than the second stage. Ghost Infant in this stage aren't actually that powerful, and basically Ghost Controller can easily deal with them.
Richard released the Human Path Puppet, using the puppet to control the Mummified Ghost and fight against it, wanting to test his ability to combat the supernatural in this world.
The Mummified Ghost easily suppressed the Derived Ghost Infant.
Ye Zhen's Mummified Ghost wasn't an ordinary one either; if rated by supernatural standards, it would probably get an A-Rank.
After being suppressed, the little thing turned into an infant corpse and died on the spot for them to see.
In the distance, shadowy figures appeared, seemingly drawn by the commotion.
"Let's go, stop playing."
Ye Zhen's sudden seriousness made Richard a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, shall we go straight to Guanjiang Residential District now?"
I want to go see if I can catch the Wish Ghost.
As soon as Richard finished speaking, he felt a gaze from the void looking at him.
"Ugh, do you have to be so sensitive? Fine, I won't touch anything related to you, okay?"
Given Richard's understanding of time and space, he could sense that the gaze came from downstream in the timeline.
That is, the future Yang Jian is watching him.
I thought I could leave Yang Jian's core puzzle intact, but it turns out I can't even touch the Wish Ghost.
That's true; without the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, Yang Jian wouldn't be authentic.
Let's leave it all alone then.
There's really no way to reason with Yang Jian in his future state.
At that time, he was just a ghost with Yang Jian's memories, and there was no logic to it.
He didn't want to fight Yang Jian in this state either. Well, mainly because he was afraid he couldn't win. The strange mechanisms of this world were hard to withstand, and he wasn't sure if he could hold on. If he couldn't, he could easily die.
If he insists on going to get the Wish Ghost, the future Yang Jian will definitely rush over and beat him up.
"What?" Ye Zhen was a little confused.
"What do you think? The future Yang Jian won't allow us to change his past," Richard said.
"You're really something. I haven't attracted his attention for so long since I learned about the future plot, but you've only just arrived and you've already caught his eye. You're quite capable," Ye Zhen said admiringly.
"Isn't it because you haven't touched any of these things? Haven't you touched any of your future teammates' things?" Richard asked.
"Of course, I, Ye, would disdain doing that. I always go directly to Spirit Land to find what I want."
"Anyway, there are plenty of Vengeful Ghost in this Spirit Land, so why bother stealing from my teammates?" Ye Zhen said proudly. He was a gentleman and would never stoop to such petty behavior.
Although those items were essentially unclaimed at the moment, he set a limit for himself: he wouldn't steal anything that his teammates would eventually acquire.
"Fine, you have noble character." Richard admitted he didn't possess such noble character.
However, someone like Ye Zhen is a reliable opponent; at least you don't have to worry about teammates stabbing you in the back.
