A New Method

The name Li Lepeng seemed familiar to everyone, but upon closer inspection, they couldn't quite place who he was.

Since no specific image of his face had formed in their minds, they couldn't identify him. So when he spoke, everyone was initially puzzled, but then they were slightly taken aback when they saw the nameplate on his table.

So he was Li Lepeng, the Ghost Tamer whose face he couldn't remember?

Upon closer inspection, this person was indeed quite ordinary; even if he weren't Ghost Tamer, he would definitely be the easiest person to forget if you left him on the street.

Li Lepeng's analysis, however, was incredibly accurate.

His conclusion from the information was correct: the Ghost Messenger was not a single ghost, but a Ghost Domain like a coffin, hence the name "ghost coffin."

This is the truth behind this paranormal event.

His proposed solution of detaining the suspect from the outside was strikingly consistent with the conclusions reached by Yang Jian Wang Xiaoming.

It's clear that not all the people sitting here are just coasting along; there are a few hidden talents among them. Regardless of how terrifying the ghost controlled by Li Lepeng, whose appearance I can't remember, is, his ability to analyze events alone is enough to allow him to survive in most supernatural situations.

"Such amazing analytical skills. Was he staring at the data on the screen thinking the whole time?" Yang Jian didn't notice the person sitting next to him.

This is a Ghost Tamer has very little presence.

"A good conclusion."

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming praised without expression, "I only discovered the origin of the Ghost Messenger after I came across this supernatural event, but by then it was often too late, because people had already entered the Ghost Domain and could no longer leave. They could only be worn down to death inside by the Infinite Restart Ghost Messenger. Currently, the only one who can enter and leave this Ghost Domain is a certain kid who likes to fight."

A kid who likes to fight?

Are they talking about me?

Yang Jian glanced at Wang Xiaoming. It seemed that Wang Xiaoming was very dissatisfied with his reckless behavior and even knew how to mock him.

"So, Professor Wang, what's your plan?" Li Lepeng didn't continue to offer his opinion, but instead asked earnestly.

Cao Yanhua breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that the meeting had returned to its main topic.

It seems that Old Qin can still keep things under control; otherwise, it would be easy for things to escalate into trouble over a single disagreement. Gao Zhiqiang was killed by Yang Jian in just a few minutes before, and a similar situation must never happen again.

Wang Xiaoming slowly began, "Because the source of the Ghost Messenger is this Ghost Domain, imprisoning the Ghost Messenger means imprisoning this entire Ghost Domain as well. However, given the current situation, neither Headquarters nor the entire world can possibly imprison an area spanning several kilometers at once."

"However, after studying the ghost coffin, I discovered a strange problem: how could such a small space inside the ghost coffin contain such a vast Ghost Domain?"

"It's suppression; there's a situation of mutual suppression between the Ghost Domain."

It was Li Jun who spoke, his face grim. "If two ghosts with Ghost Domain appear together and simultaneously form Ghost Domain, then one ghost's Ghost Domain will inevitably be suppressed. If the difference is too great, the other ghost may not even be able to form Ghost Domain. I have encountered such a situation before."

His codename was Will-o'-the-Wisp.

It can also form Ghost Domain, and we have the authority to speak on this matter.

"Therefore, the success rate of using coffin nails is not high, because no one can guarantee that those things can nail down an entire Ghost Domain," Wang Xiaoming said.

Jiang Shangbai darkened. Professor Wang's words had practically sealed his plan, making it almost impossible to use it again.

And that coffin nail is no longer something we can get our hands on.

"So Professor Wang's plan is to use another Ghost Domain to suppress the Ghost Messenger's ghost Ghost Domain, thereby limiting its range of activity to the smallest possible size, small enough to fit in a box?" Li Lepeng immediately knew what Wang Xiaoming was about to say.

Wang Xiaoming said, "This is the only feasible solution. Now we need to find something that can suppress the Ghost Messenger Ghost Domain."

"Almost impossible to find."

Li Lepeng pondered for a moment and said, "Ghost Messenger inherently possess the ability to suppress other ghosts; this is an unsolvable dead end."

"We don't need to get close to the ghosts that deal with the Ghost Messenger. We can just pass by them. If we fail, it won't have a big impact. At least the Ghost Messenger messengers will take care of that thing. If we succeed, then we can take care of the Ghost Messenger. The killing pattern of that ghost should have been restricted. Although it is still very dangerous, it is at least much easier to deal with than the Ghost Messenger," Wang Xiaoming said slowly.

"The collision of two S-class paranormal events will most likely resolve one of them."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yang was slightly startled and said, "No way, you want to lure that ghost to J City?"

He knew Wang Xiaoming's intentions.

The ghost from the previous S-class paranormal incident was brought to J City. The ghost's Ghost Domain was used to suppress the Ghost Messenger, and then the Ghost Messenger were dealt with.

If it fails.

That S-class ghost will at least be killed by the Ghost Messenger, which can be considered as resolving a major incident.

"Professor Wang, your idea is too crazy. You might as well take out the coffin nails and try it. If you mess it up, the consequences will be unimaginable," Jiang Shangbai said seriously.

"I know, but if we have to release a ghost anyway, we might as well let the one outside try. At least it's not imprisoned yet, while the starving ghost is imprisoned, so it can bear the consequences of failure," Wang Xiaoming said.

Yang Jian understood what was being said, but he was still a little confused.

Because he hadn't been with Headquarters for long, he wasn't very clear about the major events that had happened in the past, and he hadn't bothered to catch up on the relevant information. After all, some of the information was top secret at Headquarters and wouldn't be available to ordinary Ghost Tamer; it would only be unlocked little by little once you reached a certain level.

"Is Wang Xiaoming trying to attract the ghost from that S-class paranormal event?" he asked Feng Quan, who was standing next to him.

Feng Quan asked in surprise, "Brother Leg, you don't know?"

"What are you saying? I've only been on this job for a short time. Naturally, I don't know much about the major events of the past, and I was only recently promoted. I haven't had time to look at the newly declassified files yet. Is that so strange?" Yang Jian said.

"That's true, I overlooked that."

Feng Quan smiled and said, "It's an S-class paranormal event that happened abroad. The file calls it the Art Gallery Incident, but that's the translation from the foreign file. You know, foreigners are always bad at naming things. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of art gallery murder case. It has nothing to do with the supernatural. Headquarters is more direct and calls it the Ghost Painting Incident."

The Ghost Painting Incident?

Yang Jian's expression shifted. "Could you tell me?"

"There's not much to say, it's just that a ghost came out of the painting and started killing people indiscriminately. It seems that anyone who has seen the painting will be targeted by the ghost. Of course, this is just speculation, but the people who died at the time had indeed visited that art museum." Feng Quan shook his head as he said this.

"The problem was that there were quite a few foreigners who visited that art museum, so by the time they realized what was happening, too many of them had already been killed by the ghosts."

Yang Jian asked, "How many people died?"

"Much more than in Dachang City."

Feng Quan grinned. "Because the deaths were too scattered, it's difficult to count them. But since that incident, no one has dared to hang paintings in their homes anymore. It seems that the ghost could appear in any painting, though that's just a post-mortem deduction and not entirely certain. But even if it were true, the ghost couldn't get into the paintings anymore."

"Why?" Yang Jian.

Feng Quan said, "At the cost of wiping out an entire team of Ghost Tamer, someone left a golden candlestick on that ghost. Although it couldn't imprison the ghost, if the ghost had something like gold on it, it shouldn't be able to enter the painting to kill people."

"That's about all I know. I don't know anything else. After all, it's foreign archives, and there's a high chance they're hiding key information. So just take a look and don't trust the file too much. But I also can't understand the decision made by Headquarters at the time. That thing was killing people overseas, and Headquarters just inexplicably provided support to a ghost candle. We couldn't even handle things here."

Later on, Feng Quan seemed to have some difficulty understanding.

It's that thing.

Yang Jian didn't listen carefully to what Feng Quan said after that, but when he heard about the golden candlestick, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Because Yang Jian remembered what the ghost they were talking about really was.

Back when he was still in Dachang City, he stayed at Jiang Yan's apartment and saw a ghost hidden in the Ghost Domain wandering through Dachang City.

He was lucky at that time and wasn't caught up in that Ghost Domain.

Otherwise, based on my own assessment at the time, I would have been dead for sure.

"That thing is the source of the S-class paranormal event, the ghost codenamed 'Ghost Painting'?" Yang Jian pondered.

Wang Xiaoming's idea was to lure the ghost over and use the ghost in the ghost painting to suppress the Ghost Messenger. If that failed, he could also use the Ghost Messenger to deal with the ghost painting.

Upon closer reflection, this is indeed playing with fire and getting burned.
