Chapter 137 Seven Days Later
Fang Shiming and the other surviving ghost riders returned to China overnight with the bodies of their dead companions in the ghost temple.
The ghost temple was left standing alone. There were some curious people who were ready to approach the ghost temple to investigate.
But the exorcist club had already started to drive people away and decided to block the area.
These people had to leave in disappointment.
"President, we have investigated several places where the ghost temple was found to have invaded, such as Nihonjima and Sanhonjima, and the traces left by the ghost temple have disappeared."
"Okay, it seems that the ghost temple has really been imprisoned. Give orders to establish an isolation zone around the ghost temple and do not let anyone approach."
After finishing everything, President Tian Shang took another look at the ghost temple in the distance before leaving. He saw that the fog around the ghost temple was already very thin. Through the fog, he could still see the cracks on the walls of the ghost temple, as if everything was developing in a good direction.
But he did not know how fragile the balance in the ghost temple was.
At this time, in the backyard of the Ghost Temple, there were no living people, only three corpses of ghost riders who had been occupied by evil spirits. Because there was no target, these three revived evil spirits could only wander around the backyard aimlessly.
There was a clang, as if a sword was drawn.
With a bang, a palm-wide crack appeared out of thin air in the backyard, starting from the ancient well and ending at the middle path. The huge force broke the stone bricks laid under the path, revealing the golden metal inside the stone bricks.
This crack was like an invisible wall, blocking the way of the wandering evil spirits in the courtyard. One of the wandering evil spirits automatically changed its route and walked towards the ancient well on the side.
…
That night,
the news that the circle of friends handled the Ghost Temple incident was spread to the Ghost Rider website.
It attracted the attention of many forces for a while.
However, they were not paying attention to the circle of friends, but the Asian headquarters behind the circle of friends, and even the Renguo behind the Asian headquarters.
In the eyes of outsiders, the circle of friends who accepted the task of handling the Ghost Temple incident from the headquarters was already a subsidiary force of the headquarters by default.
Now, after seeing the performance of the circle of friends, other forces have begun to re-evaluate the true strength of the Asian headquarters.
The outside world is turbulent, but the country is still calm.
For the circle of friends solving the ghost temple incident, the headquarters just expressed congratulations as a routine matter. When the strength reaches a certain level, the headquarters will not consider showing off its muscles to show its force, but will start to consider the problem of domestic folk ghost riders.
As the frequency of supernatural events increases, several lucky people across the country will encounter fierce ghosts every day and become ordinary ghost riders.
In addition to those ghost riders who have been discovered and collected, there are still some ghost riders who have not been discovered, or who are discovered but are unwilling to join any forces. They walk in the steel forest like lone wolves.
These folk ghost riders do not know the danger of supernatural powers because they have no predecessors to lead the way.
Some people, after gaining extraordinary abilities, either begin to lose their balance in mentality, or are eroded by the supernatural, do some irrational things, and embark on the road of crime.
Some people will be eroded by supernatural powers because of the abuse of the power of fierce ghosts, and the fierce ghosts in their bodies will recover faster, and soon become a new supernatural event.
Faced with the last situation, the headquarters had no choice but to send a person in charge to solve it.
In the face of the previous situation, the headquarters would give these people a break in the past. As long as they agreed to work for the headquarters, the previous things would not be pursued.
In the past, the headquarters compromised because the number of ghost riders was limited and the strength was insufficient, but now it is different.
As Wang Xiaoming's invention began to become popular, the strength of the headquarters was greatly improved, and the upper level became less and less patient with those ghost riders who ignored the law and despised the country.
It has begun to prepare to focus on these ghost riders who undermine social stability and reshape the atmosphere of the domestic supernatural world.
For large-scale folk ghost rider forces like the circle of friends, the headquarters still focuses on winning them over, but there are still rules to be followed.
At present, the circle of friends is actively moving closer to the headquarters, holding the thigh of the headquarters, and wants to obtain the corresponding resources of the headquarters to enhance its own strength.
At the same time, the headquarters also took a fancy to the circle of friends as a force, and wanted to use the circle of friends to set an example. As the first ghost rider organization among the folk forces, the circle of friends is the most suitable to be this example.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and time is like a river that never stops, constantly moving forward.
In a blink of an eye, a week has passed since the circle of friends solved the ghost temple incident.
After a series of negotiations, the headquarters and the circle of friends have officially reached a cooperation. In the future, the circle of friends will become a subordinate force of the headquarters, will fully support the decisions of the headquarters, enjoy corresponding rights and obligations, and have certain autonomy.
Once this matter was announced to the public, it immediately caused an uproar in the domestic supernatural world.
The circle of friends was taken down by the headquarters!
There are also people on the ghost rider website shouting to the supernatural forum that they must hold on and not be swallowed up by the headquarters, and they have received a lot of likes.
However, Wang Xiaoming never took all these changes to heart, because he was too busy.
Since the first batch of acquired supernatural ghosts were delivered seven days ago, new supernatural ghosts have been delivered from all over the world every day, with more than 40 ghosts and as few as a dozen.
Unfortunately, among these acquired ghosts, there was no target that interested him.
Faced with a large number of evil spirits that were offered for purchase, Wang Xiaoming was both in pain and joy. He was happy because the arrival of these evil spirits would make his potion digestion smoother. In these days, he could clearly sense the digestion of the potion and the increase in the total amount of spirituality.
The pain was because there were too many evil spirits. Even if he stayed up all day, he could not refine all of them into spiritual weapons.
So Wang Xiaoming could only put these unused evil spirits into the headquarters warehouse and warehouse No. 1 for storage, and then transfer them out from the two warehouses when needed.
In these seven days, Wang Xiaoming forged a total of 140 new spiritual weapons, but because most of the evil spirits had low spiritual strength, even if they were made into spiritual weapons, they were still unqualified products in Wang Xiaoming's eyes.
However, for other people in the headquarters, the spiritual weapons he forged were not only qualified, but also had great effects.
Every day, Zhao Jianguo would personally come to collect the spiritual weapons he forged, and he would be followed by a team of well-equipped elite soldiers.
The five departments gradually realized that supernatural weapons were no longer rare items, and no longer required the headquarters to hand in all the forged supernatural weapons, but could keep some for their own use.
In addition to forging supernatural weapons, Wang Xiaoming also made considerable progress in studying the supernatural runes of ghost flashlights. The number of supernatural runes collected from ghost flashlights alone exceeded more than one thousand.
Through the ghost domain experiment, with the help of the Secret Eye, he has memorized the functions of more than seven hundred supernatural runes.
However, he has not yet found the secret of how the ghost flashlight can travel through the supernatural land.
