A New Wound

"The Door-Knocking Ghost incident is over."

An extremely excited voice rang out from a temporary office at an airport near Kobe City.

Wang Xin, the leader of the Spirit Extermination Society, made this announcement. Once he had spoken, it was as though a weight had been lifted from him, leaving him with an indescribable sense of relief.

The other society members rose to their feet as well, equally excited.

"Wonderful, this nightmare is over."

"Is that really true, Leader Wang Xin? Is it truly over?"

"What an unbelievable day. We're finally free."

The members all felt as though a heavy burden had been removed. Even though they were mature and steady adults, they could not help showing their joy and excitement.

At that moment.

President Mishima emerged from a small office nearby. He wore a smile and was in an excellent mood. After receiving Nagazawa's call, he had already guessed that the plan had succeeded. Yang Jian, whom they had hired at such tremendous cost, had not disappointed him.

A supernatural incident that had troubled them for so long had actually been resolved within a single day.

That level of ability was terrifyingly powerful.

"President, should we start preparing a celebration banquet?" Wang Xin asked.

"We should. Make the arrangements. But the most important thing now is entering Kobe City and finishing the remaining work. Nagazawa revealed a great deal during the call. The ghost's containment isn't stable, so we need to inspect the situation and transport it back with extreme care."

Although President Mishima was pleased, he had not lost his head and remained calm.

"Understood. I'll make the arrangements right away." Wang Xin immediately left.

But then, a society member hurried in from outside, walked up to President Mishima, and whispered something into his ear.
