Supernatural Forum
"What kind of organization is the Supernatural Forum? Have you heard of it, Captain Zhao?"
The next day, Yang Jian drove to the city stadium to attend the meeting about the Starvation Ghost Incident. However, he was still concerned about what happened yesterday, so he arrived early and asked Zhao Jianguo about the situation.
Zhao Jianguo, who was organizing materials and preparing for a meeting, paused for a moment; "Supernatural Forum? Where did you hear that name?"
"Yesterday, a few people came to Guangjiang Residential Area late at night looking for me. They claimed to be from Supernatural Forum and wanted to meet me," Yang Jian.
Zhao Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect their reach to extend this far. It seems that if some NGOs let this go unchecked, the impact will only grow."
"I didn't want to tell you these things, because it involves some struggles, and getting you involved would not benefit you at all. You've already become the person in charge and solved the Starvation Ghost Incident, which is a great achievement. To put it bluntly, no civilian organization is worth joining."
Yang Jian, "I just wanted to learn about this Supernatural Forum organization. Captain Zhao, you're being too sensitive."
Zhao Jianguo's lips twitched; how could he not be sensitive?
If I let you go, I, as the person in charge, will be executed later.
"The Supernatural Forum first appeared five years ago. At that time, there hadn't been any global paranormal events yet. It was just a community-organized interest forum. Comparing the data captured from the server back then, most of it consisted of ghost stories circulating in various places, as well as strange things that some netizens had personally experienced."
"Whether in China or abroad, there are quite a few people who are enthusiastic about metaphysics and Ghost Monster, and there are many related forums and websites, of which Supernatural Forum are one."
Zhao Jianguo continued, "But with the outbreak of paranormal events around the world, all kinds of ghost stories are emerging one after another. When faced with such real horror events, the first to react are often not the official institutions of various countries, but the people who personally experienced them."
"If someone survives a paranormal event, they will often search online for information. So they start visiting various ghost story forums and websites, hoping that others with similar experiences can offer help."
"Under these circumstances, domestic Supernatural Forum were born. They were the earliest gathering places for Ghost Tamer. They evolved from simply telling ghost stories to becoming a place for Ghost Tamer to communicate. Later, as you can imagine, as more Ghost Tamer gathered, organizations were formed and power structures were created."
"Because it was founded early, the Supernatural Forum attracted some of the earliest Ghost Tamer in Asia. Although I don't know the specifics of Supernatural Forum development, it has become a top Ghost Tamer force in Asia, covering various fields such as construction, finance, medicine, and transportation. Moreover, nearly half of the top fifty richest people on the Asian wealth list have some connection with people from the Supernatural Forum."
Yang Jian frowned upon hearing this.
This Supernatural Forum does seem to have some weight now.
Zhao Jianguo continued, "When the Ghost Tamer Headquarters was first established, the minister contacted the administrators of the Supernatural Forum, wanting to recruit them. After all, if a group of early Ghost Tamer joined the Headquarters, our Ghost Tamer's strength and influence could easily crush foreign countries."
"Did the administrator refuse?" Yang Jian.
"Yes, I refused outright. You know some people are cynical. Not to mention, each of the Ghost Tamer possesses incredible and bizarre abilities. Ordinary people who obtain such abilities are bound to become arrogant, thinking they are the boss and no one will submit to them. So the initial contact process was not very smooth," Zhao Jianguo said.
"The minister couldn't give up the idea of incorporating them, and as a compromise, he tacitly allowed the Supernatural Forum to exist. After all, he couldn't afford to offend a large number of Ghost Tamer. Of course, there were some agreements, but I don't know the specifics. I only know that the Supernatural Forum had been secretly developing its influence for over a year without causing trouble. Later, due to the frequent occurrence of paranormal events around the world, many Ghost Tamer's forces emerged in various parts of Asia, such as clubs, small groups, and gangs. The Headquarters stopped keeping an eye on the Supernatural Forum."
Yang Jian said, "Judging from this, the people on this Supernatural Forum seem to have a 'build high walls and store up plenty of grain' mentality."
"That's the idea, but there's nothing we can do. Ghost Tamer aren't a group that's easy to manage. Let alone these civilian organizations, even the Ghost Tamer at Headquarters are a headache. As long as they don't cause trouble, we just turn a blind eye," Zhao Jianguo said.
"Do you know the administrator of the Supernatural Forum?" Yang Jian.
Zhao Jianguo said, "The administrators of the Supernatural Forum have changed several times. At the beginning, the administrators were just ordinary people who earned some traffic and ran some ads. Later, as the forum developed, they were replaced by Ghost Tamer. The current administrator is Ye Zhen, a top-notch Ghost Tamer once helped us solve an A-class paranormal case, and he did it all by himself."
"Furthermore, Headquarters also investigated him and found that he had been Ghost Tamer for more than a year."
Then, he looked around and suddenly whispered.
"If it weren't for Professor Wang's appearance, the strength of our Ghost Tamer Headquarters would have increased rapidly with the support of the country. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Ye Zhen the Number One Ghost Wielder in Asia."
"Number one in Asia? He's the first person to control two ghosts?" Yang Jian asked.
He had heard before that someone had risked controlling a second ghost in the face of a resurrected vengeful spirit, and succeeded. Thus, the world's first person to control a second ghost was born. Researchers from various countries were inspired to study ways to control multiple ghosts, maintain balance, and thus prolong the resurrection of vengeful spirits.
"No, the person you're talking about is Ghost Tamer from abroad. Ye Zhen became Ghost Tamer after that person, but he's one of the earliest. If there were Ghost Tamer ranking, Ye Zhen would be at least in the top five, if not number one. How could he possibly control those members of the Supernatural Forum without some ability?"
After Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. That Supernatural Forum won't dare to do anything to you. Don't be fooled by the fact that some organizations sound powerful. As long as the higher-ups give the order, let alone one Supernatural Forum, even ten of them can be shut down in no time. It's just that the Headquarters doesn't want to focus its energy on internal strife right now."
He was telling the truth.
In terms of power and development, who can compare to the Ghost Tamer Headquarters?
"I'm not worried about the people on the Supernatural Forum. It's just that I've had some unpleasant experiences after contacting them, so I'm just doing my research beforehand to be on the safe side. I don't want anyone who doesn't like me to come to my house without me knowing what's going on," Yang Jian.
Zhao Jianguo laughed and said, "If you want to know more about the files, you can get higher access after you go to J City to receive your reward. Then you can know anything you want."
Yang Jian knew that although the rights and status of those in charge were the same, the treatment of those Ghost Tamer was completely different from that of newcomers who had not.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost time to start the meeting. You need to summarize the operation report this time, and you should prepare to present it. It would be best if you could share some experience with others, since you're currently the only person who has truly solved S-class paranormal event," Zhao Jianguo said.
Yang Jian calmly replied, "I'll try my best."
"By the way, if anyone offers you any criticism, you can ignore it. If necessary, you can even suppress them directly."
"Can't you control those people anymore?" Yang Jian.
Zhao Jianguo laughed somewhat awkwardly, "No, it's just that some people are a little resentful after seeing that you've done a great job and solved S-class supernatural incident. You know the abilities of Ghost Tamer; they're all incredibly strange and terrifying. It was better when they were scattered in different places, but now that they're all gathered together, it's inevitable that they feel like they can't stand anyone."
"However, this batch is considered relatively good. Those Deputy Minister in worse condition weren't even notified, lest they be like a pile of bombs, ready to explode at any moment."
"Captain Zhao, the meeting will begin in ten minutes. Please be prepared." At that moment, a staff member ran over to announce this.
"Okay, I'm coming right now, Yang Jian. I'll get back to work now. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions." Zhao Jianguo nodded and left first.
As soon as he left, Yang Jian saw that Ghost Tamer were entering the stadium one after another through the various passageways.
However, he didn't recognize any of these people.
No, it's not that I don't know them all.
Yang Jian saw a familiar face.
It was a tall woman with a ponytail, holding a GPS-enabled phone, walking this way.
Ghost-faced Tong Qian ~!
Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly; he hadn't expected that she had also been transferred to provide support.
"Hello Yang Jian, it's nice to see you again." Tong Qian walked over and greeted him with a slight smile.
"Your ponytail is almost up to the top of your head. That face is about to kill you. You won't live much longer." Yang Jian judged her condition just by looking at the height of her ponytail.
But who would have thought that beneath Tong Qian's long, black hair lay a terrifying face with a sinister smile?
"He won't die for now."
Tong Qian said, "I haven't thanked you for what happened last time, and I also had some misunderstandings about you. I'm really sorry."
"No need. You should use that energy to solve your own problems. People like us are lucky to be alive; nothing else matters. I have to go to a meeting now. See you another time." Yang Jian said goodbye and left.
Tong Qian wasn't angry as she watched Yang Jian leave. She knew that this guy had a terrible personality and wasn't the easy type to get along with.
Despite this, Yang Jian solved an S-class paranormal case, which is worthy of respect.
"Tong Qian, it seems Yang Jian doesn't think much of you. I guess your other face scared someone else," a passing Ghost Tamer said with a smile.
"He's always been like this, he doesn't care about looking up to anyone," Tong Qian replied.
