Codename

The atmosphere inside the large conference room at Headquarters was very somber.

Almost all the Ghost Tamer fell silent at this moment, their brows furrowed, looking slightly uneasy, because if such a supernatural event caused too much harm, they would probably have to step in even if they were unwilling.

But according to Wang Xiaoming's suggestion, it's completely unsustainable.

It has an unparalleled ability to suppress three ghosts from the start, and once it grows a little stronger, it becomes incredible; no one can stand against it.

"Speaking of the Ghost Coffin Incident, Feng Quan, you and Yang Jian solved it together, right? What method did you use to succeed back then?" Suddenly, Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua frowned and thought for a long time before turning his gaze to Feng Quan, who was sitting not far away.

Feng Quan was considered a veteran Ghost Tamer at Headquarters.

The Captain Plan was also nominated this time.

Feng Quan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It can't be solved. It's true that I was the first person to come into contact with the Ghost Coffin Incident, but in my eyes, that ghost is an unsolvable problem. Even the later A-class paranormal events, such as the Ghost Knocking incident, the Fierce Ghost Road incident, and the Terror Museum incident, none of them can compare to that one."

"I was lucky to survive; it had little to do with my own abilities."

"But you successfully imprisoned that ghost? You should have some experience to share," Chen Yi, one of the leaders in J City, said in a deep voice.

"Experience? I do have some. That ghost came out of the ghost coffin, and its abilities are the same as Professor Wang said before. If you don't have at least three ghosts of your own, you're guaranteed to die if you're alone. But correspondingly, the ghost's determination isn't based on the number of people, but rather on the number of ghosts in an area not being less than three."

Feng Quan said, "The range for this judgment is roughly the size of a normal room. If there is a second Ghost Tamer in this room, a third Ghost Tamer can also meet this condition, so this ghost must be dealt with in a group."

"So it's not entirely hopeless after all." Many people who had previously been somewhat desperate suddenly brightened up.

If there's an opportunity, things will be much easier.

"No, don't oversimplify things. This is just the ghost's pattern of killing, but that ghost has other characteristics as well."

As Feng Quan spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes; "The second characteristic is the most despairing."

"That ghost cannot be imprisoned. Strictly speaking, it can be imprisoned, but even if it is, the ghost will continue to appear, under a different identity and in a different way, to continue to appear around you."

"Back then, Yang Jian, another Ghost Tamer, and I worked together to withstand the first wave of attacks and successfully imprisoned that ghost. Then the second wave of attacks came, and that ghost reappeared as if it could Infinite Restart until it completely killed you all, leaving no one alive."

"Damn, this is insane. Back then, the Ghost Coffin Incident was only classified as a B-class paranormal event. In my opinion, this is already an S-class paranormal event. It's a miracle that you guys survived. No wonder that Ghost Eye Yang Jian is so strong and could solve the Starvation Ghost Incident. It turns out this is a skill he honed through practice."

"A Ghost Tamer named Cao Yang exclaimed in surprise."

At that time, Yang Jian and Feng Quan went through the Ghost Coffin Incident together, which is indeed unbelievable.

Honestly, anyone present who randomly entered Huanggang Village would likely have been taken advantage of.

"There's no use in saying so much. We now know the ghost's killing patterns and abilities. The only remaining issue is how to imprison it. Let's discuss a solution. Everyone here is among the top people in Asia. Only we can handle this. What do you say, Minister Cao?"

A young man in a suit tapped on the table and said with a cold gaze.

"Jiang Shangbai, do you have any good suggestions?"

Cao Yanhua spoke first, and although he was the Deputy Minister, everyone present was a top figure from Headquarters, so he was very polite.

"I do have a suggestion, but I don't know if Professor Wang agrees." The young man named Jiang Shangbai's eyes flickered.

Wang Xiaoming, who had been looking down with a somewhat dejected expression, raised his eyes and said, "You can tell me."

"Remove that coffin nail, assemble a top-notch team, led by myself, develop an action plan, and find a way to take down that ghost." Jiang Shangbai's words were resolute, filled with a strong sense of confidence.

Coffin nails?

The others' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.

They knew what those three words meant.

That was something that restricted the starving ghosts; it was very special and also very strange.

"That's indeed a method. That thing can solve the problem of the starving ghost, and it can most likely solve this ghost too." Zhong Shan nodded. "Professor Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Xiaoming didn't answer directly, but instead said, "The first wave of attacks could be dealt with using coffin nails, but what about the second wave? And even if you solve this problem, has that ghost grown to the point where coffin nails can no longer suppress it? Also, how can we ensure that the starving ghost won't escape when the coffin nails are removed?"

"Don't forget that file. The Hungry Ghost is suspected of having the ability to restart time, so removing the coffin nails carries an extremely high risk."

"Therefore, we need to develop a plan," Jiang Shangbai said.

"I refuse."

Wang Xiaoming slowly said, "We can't afford the consequences of a second S-class supernatural event. Besides, that ghost was created by me, so in some ways it's more terrifying than an ordinary ghost."

"What do you mean?" Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua asked.

Wang Xiaoming lowered his gaze again. "Although it is currently acting according to the instincts of a vengeful ghost, it is suspected to have acquired Wei Jing's intelligence. This is a special kind of anomaly, a result of the collision between humans and the supernatural. However, in this case, the ghost has gained the upper hand and controlled Wei Jing. If the human had gained the upper hand and Wei Jing had controlled the ghost, then my experiment would have been a success."

"However, I cannot be certain that my judgment is correct at the moment, but if possible, it would be better to treat it as Wei Jing and deal with him. Wei Jing after the vengeful ghost has been resurrected should be regarded as Ghost Tamer is controlled by the ghost."

"Wei Jing has a wealth of experience. If the ghost has acquired some of Wei Jing's wisdom to some extent, then the danger of this matter will be escalated." Chen Yi's face was extremely ugly, and he even had an urge to explode.

This was a special, man-made event, and one that was so terrible.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Considering that this ghost is currently taking over other ghosts to grow stronger, especially Ghost Tamer are its primary targets, and given that it is suspected of possessing a portion of the intelligence of Ghost Tamer Wei Jing, I have designated this incident as S-class, codenamed: Ghost Messenger. Does anyone have any objections?"

"Ghost Messenger?" someone grinned. "That certainly fits the current situation. This ghost can even capture other ghosts; in some ways, it really does resemble Ghost Messenger."

Just as the meeting was continuing, Liu Xiaoyu rushed into the meeting room.

"You can't go in. There's an emergency meeting going on right now. What's the matter?" A security guard blocked his way.

Liu Xiaoyu called out, "Professor Wang, Yang Jian is currently trapped at the training base. He hopes you can help him confirm something. The situation is very urgent, and he hopes you can help him."

"Yang Jian? He didn't manage to escape? Then he's doomed. We can give up now. His chances of survival are extremely slim." Jiang Shangbai glanced at him and sneered.

They already know the ghost's abilities; even the notorious Ghost Eye Yang Jian is going to fall this time.

"What did you say? Jiang Shangbai, Yang Jian isn't dead yet, and you're already talking about giving up? What do you mean by that?" Feng Quan slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting angrily.

"Literally, I'm just stating a fact. Rescue is too late now. Who knows how many Ghost Tamer that ghost has already killed?" Jiang Shangbai snorted. "Besides, you said before that the ghost will launch a second and third attack after it's imprisoned. Without a complete plan, anyone who goes will die."

"Jiang Shangbai, what kind of skill is it to make sarcastic remarks at a time like this? Don't forget, your previous suggestion to use coffin nails was also handed over by Yang Jian."

A Ghost Tamer named Cao Yang chuckled and said, "Looking down on others while using their methods doesn't make you capable."

"Cao Yang? What, am I wrong for saying the truth?"

Cao Yang smiled but remained silent.

People in your WeChat Moments are definitely not to be trifled with; there's no need to argue with them.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming stood up and said, "I will give Yang Jian all the help he needs, and I hope he can survive. Let me speak with Yang Jian."

"Professor Wang?"

Jiang Shangbai's expression shifted slightly; he had never expected Wang Xiaoming to step forward and respond to Yang Jian.

This makes absolutely no sense.

Everyone knows that Yang Jian personally killed Wang Xiaoming's younger brother, Wang Xiaoqiang. This blood feud is undeniable, so why would he want to save an enemy?

"Professor Wang, this is a dead end. You probably can't think of a good solution either," Jiang Shangbai said, hoping to do Wang Xiaoming a favor and, incidentally, to have Yang Jian, who might be a candidate for the Captain Plan, die in this supernatural event.

Surprisingly, Yang Jian is quite popular; so many people are speaking up for him.

"Yang Jian is worth saving; he's more valuable than you," Wang Xiaoming said slowly, then walked out with Liu Xiaoyu.

Being criticized like that in front of so many people, Jiang Shangbai's face immediately turned somewhat ferocious.

Everyone knows that Professor Wang likes to measure a person's value. In his eyes, only those with value have a reason to live, while those without value wouldn't even glance at him if they accidentally died.

"More valuable than me? Are you kidding me?" he roared inwardly.

Soon.

At the training base, Yang Jian stopped walking downstairs in the dormitory building.

Because the communication was re-established.

"I'm Wang Xiaoming. Feel free to ask me any questions, but given the current situation, you'll have to abandon the idea of getting outside help, because I haven't yet devised a perfect solution to this paranormal event," Wang Xiaoming said bluntly.

Yang Jian smiled immediately; "I asked you before if someone would come to my rescue if I ever fell into trouble. You said yes then, but it seems your words didn't count, Professor Wang."

"You understand why, and I don't want to explain, but I hope you can survive," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Investigate the current status of the Ghost Coffin for me." Yang Jian wasted no more time and said directly, "As soon as possible."

"Okay." Wang Xiaoming immediately agreed.

A simple reply was enough for both sides to understand that they each had value, and now was not the time for empty talk.

Wang Xiaoming wanted to save Yang Jian because he still had the human skin paper, and he needed it for his next research step.

Yang Jian also needed him to ascertain the situation of the ghost coffin.

If one survives, then the way out must be related to the ghost coffin.
