Lord of Puro

Chapter 535: Ghosts in the Dungeon
At 8:50 in the morning, Shen Jingye was looking through meeting materials in his office.

There are three meetings today, which are expected to last all day, and the first meeting will start at nine o'clock.

Shen Jingye emphasized that these meetings were very important, but Shen Jingye had never read all the meeting materials before. He only used the ten minutes before the meeting to take a rough look at them.

Shen Jingye often mentions a sentence: "The purpose of the meeting is not to solve problems, but to improve understanding." From the overall quality of the meeting materials, we can see the depth of understanding and importance of the relevant personnel to the meeting, and we can see...

Beep beep~
The landline rang.

Seeing the incoming call number, Shen Jingye fell into deep thought.

He only thought for five seconds because he knew time was very tight.

He immediately took out his cell phone and called the driver directly, asking him to get the car ready as he was going to conduct research at a subordinate unit.

As for the postponement of the meeting, the relevant personnel can be notified after getting in the car. Shen Jingye hung up the phone and immediately left the office without locking the door and walked directly to the elevator.

He pressed the downstairs button, the elevator door opened, and Li Qi walked out of the elevator.

Shen Jingye was silent for less than a second, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Director Li is back, you have worked hard on the way, I am in a hurry to go out, we will talk when I come back."

Shen Jingye walked into the elevator calmly and was then pulled back by Li Qi.

"Xiao Shen, come to my office."

……

Sitting in Li Qi's office, Shen Jingye looked gloomy.

Li Qi frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that you would have this attitude after I came all the way here!"

Shen Jingye adjusted his expression and said, "Director Li, I do have important work on hand."

"Is there any work more important than what I'm dealing with right now? I signed a contract with Nevada, don't you want to take a look?"

Shen Jingye really wanted to know the outcome of the negotiations between Li Qi and Neizhou, but he couldn't know it.

"Director Li, this work was mainly completed in Puro Province. The main responsible party should be the Customs and Defense Department. The one who should really listen to the progress of the work should be General Envoy Liao."

Li Banfeng smiled: "So you don't want to listen?"

"That's not the case. I think General Envoy Liao should have first-hand information."

"You want to push the blame onto Liao Zihui?"

"I have absolutely no intention of shirking responsibility, but the division of responsibilities must be clear."

"So you don't want to care about this anymore?"

"I really didn't..." Shen Jingye's lips turned a little pale.

Li Banfeng handed the deed to Shen Jingye and said, "Write the report according to this."

Shen Jingye took the deed and didn't want to read a single word.

But there was no way he wouldn't read it. Li Qi just stuffed it into his hands, and he couldn't say he couldn't read.

Fortunately, the outcome was good. After the Customs Office evacuated the soda kiln, Neizhou promised not to pursue the gatekeeper incident, and the war crisis between the two sides was temporarily resolved.

Li Qi took a sip of tea and continued, "I have also reached an agreement with the Green Water Beggar. He will not come to the other state again in the short term."

Shen Jingye was not very satisfied with this result: "Director Li, what is the concept of short-term? Should there be a clear time frame?"

Li Qi shook his head: "It's really hard to be clear at the moment. Lu Huazi is always erratic in his actions. We need to continue to follow up on this work. It's impossible to ask him to promise that he will never come. We also need to have corresponding propositions and ideas, so that I can continue to negotiate with him."

Shen Jingye thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case, we'd better report it to Director Du together."

Li Banfeng nodded: "No problem, bring him to see me. I don't have too much work these two days, so I can find time to see him."

Shen Jingye looked embarrassed: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Li Banfeng was stunned: "What's wrong with that? He's not well yet?"

"That's fine, but in terms of job..."

Du Wenming recovered from his illness. This made Li Banfeng very interested: "Did Kang Zhenchang cure Director Du?"

Shen Jingye did not hide it: "At present, he is the only one who has this ability."

"What level of medical practitioner is Kang Zhenchang?"

"The seventh level!" Shen Jingye answered very naturally, "Kang Zhenchang has the strongest ability among the therapists, so he naturally has the highest level."

Therapist is the name given to medical practitioners in other states. According to the general understanding of other states, the limit of dark abilities is the seventh level. Shen Jingye gave a standard official answer.

Of course, Li Banfeng knew that this answer was pure nonsense. How could a seventh-level medical practitioner possibly cure the Green Water Beggar's disease?

"I want to see Dr. Kang, can you arrange it for me?"

Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "This is very difficult. Kang Zhenchang is a special talent and is under special protection. When our bureau needs Kang Zhenchang to cooperate in carrying out tasks, we must apply in advance."

"Does the bureau have any relevant information about Kang Zhenchang?"

"There is some information, but it is top secret. The process..."

As they were talking, both of their cell phones rang at the same time.

There is a mission.

An "autonomous dark energy aggregate" has appeared in the Menghao Dungeon, and the Dark Star Bureau needs to deal with it immediately.

Li Banfeng looked at his phone and asked, "What is an autonomous consciousness dark energy aggregate?"

Shen Jingye explained: "It is the product of the residual consciousness after the end of life and the aggregation of dark energy. In Prozhou's words, it is called a resentful soul."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Does it need to be emphasized in Pro Province? Don't other provinces have the word vengeful spirit?"

"Because the term vengeful spirit itself is not scientific, we rarely use this term. Director Li, I really want to participate in this mission, but in view of the important achievements you have made in your work, I hope you can go with me to Director Du to make a work report."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I'd better leave such an important report to you. I'll go to the scene to take a look."

After getting on the minibus, Tang Yuan first introduced the situation at the scene: "A dark energy enthusiast organization was gathering in the Menghao Underground City and was attacked by an autonomous dark energy aggregate. The attack caused three deaths and two injuries. The survivors have all evacuated the scene."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Don't talk about aggregates, just say resentful souls. Does the Dark Star Bureau have a clear definition? What is the difference between this kind of resentful soul and ordinary dead souls?"

He needs to know the combat power of this vengeful spirit.

Hearing Li Qi's question, Tang Yuan sat next to Li Qi and explained in a low voice: "The residual consciousness after the end of life is the dead soul. The product of the combination of the dead soul and dark energy is the resentful soul.

There are two sources of resentful souls. One is the souls of ordinary dead people who have been exposed to a large amount of dark energy, and the other is the souls of dark energy users, because dark energy users themselves carry a large amount of dark energy. "

Li Banfeng thought for a moment, frowned and said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with resentment."

Tang Yuan's voice became even quieter: "So, we can't use the word vengeful spirit to refer to autonomous dark energy aggregates."

The reason why she wanted to sit next to Li Qi was that Li Qi had not returned to the bureau for a long time and she wanted to sit closer to Li Qi.

On the other hand, she didn't want others to know Li Qi's lack of common sense.

In fact, she knew that Li Qi knew much more common sense about dark energy users than they did, but Li Qi and they did not master the same knowledge system.

Li Qi didn't think it was shameful. He didn't understand so he asked, "The Dark Energy Enthusiasts Organization refers to the civilian dark energy practitioners?"

"They are not dark energy users, but through certain channels, they have mastered some dark energy knowledge, possess some dark energy resources, and understand some dark energy-related spells and rituals.
This type of organization is generally divided into two types. One is to learn the folk customs of China and neighboring countries, and the other is to learn witchcraft and black magic in the West. The organization I encountered today is called the Chamomile Wizard Association. The president and three core members are from Rafsha, and the total number of members is 63..."

The minibus drove all the way to Menghao Underground City.

From the 1990s to the beginning of this century, underground cities were all the rage in major cities, with catering, entertainment, sales, and all kinds of industries flourishing in underground cities.

Tang Yuan introduced: "Ten years ago, the underground city gradually declined. A fire in Menghao Underground City dealt a heavy blow to the merchants who were struggling to maintain their business. The underground city has been abandoned since then.

In the following years, this place became a gathering place for dark energy enthusiasts. There were rumors in these organizations that this place was a place of spiritual enrichment or a source of dark energy. Although we have prevented similar events many times..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Banfeng suddenly heard a quarrel. A tall, blond man was shouting in a stiff tone: "You have no right to keep me here. I am not one of you. You have no right to restrict my freedom!"

Law enforcement officers at the scene introduced that this person was the president of the Chamomile Wizard Association, Cherivico.

He was pushing and shoving law enforcement officers and shouting.

Li Banfeng took a look and ordered, "Cuff him."

Tangyuan was stunned, the light bulb blinked, and the star pretended not to hear.

Zhong Er walked over with the handcuffs but was stopped by Director Wang.

"Director Li, there is no trivial matter in foreign affairs. We cannot be impulsive in this matter."

Li Banfeng repeated: "Cuff him."

Zhong Er walked around Director Wang, approached Cheliviko, and pulled one of his arms.

Cherivico shook off Chuuni and shouted, "What do you want to do? What right do you have to do this? Do you know who I am? You are not qualified to touch me..."

Zhong Er kicked Cherivko down, twisted his arms, took the handcuffs, and handcuffed his hands together from behind.

"You will pay the price, you must pay the price!" Cheliviko screamed.

Li Banfeng said: "Send him to the car."

Chuuji picked up Cherivico and threw him into the car. While getting in the car, Cherivico hit his head and became quiet.

The other three Rafsha men were still shouting, but Chuuji took out another pair of handcuffs, and the three men soon quieted down.

Deputy Director Wang was terrified and quickly called Director Shen: "Director, Director Li was too impulsive. He handcuffed people without knowing the truth. They are not our people..."

He recounted the whole story, and Shen Jingye was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, I know about this."

Just saying "I know" is the end of it?

Deputy Director Wang asked, "How should I deal with this?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just follow Director Li's instructions on the scene." Shen Jingye hung up the phone.

Director Du asked, "What happened?"

Director Shen said: "There is a vengeful spirit in Menghao Underground City, it's no big deal."

"If it's nothing serious, let's put it aside for now. Let's talk about the report in detail first. This contract from Neizhou is very important. Is it true that Green Water Beggar can't get any substantial materials?"

Shen Jingye has answered this question countless times.

He was tired, really tired.

……

Li Banfeng led people into the underground city, where karaoke bars, dance halls, billiard halls, game halls, Internet cafes, and other representative entertainment venues from the end of the last century and the beginning of this century came into view.

Under the guidance of the on-site staff, everyone entered a karaoke bar, the gathering place of the Wizarding Association, in a box near the door.

Zhuang Shuxing, a psychic from the security team, found the spell that had fallen on the ground. The spell was written in Rafsha. As soon as the translator gave the translation, Zhuang Shuxing recognized the origin of the spell.

"This is the contract that the psychic uses to summon war spirits."

Li Banfeng also took a look at it. Because it was a literal translation, there were many obscure parts in the sentences, but the general meaning was indeed similar to the contract between the Nightmare Cultivator and the Ghost Servant.

The last sentence is a little different. The war spirit they want to summon is a handsome man from the old world.

"What does the 'old world' mean?" Li Banfeng looked at the translator.

The translator is also unclear about the exact meaning of this sentence, and can only make some guesses: "In some countries, the Pro State is called the Old World."

Do they want to summon war spirits from Pro Province?

What is the reason for this?
Li Banfeng's first reaction was that more undead from Prostate had drifted to other states.

"What are the criteria for a handsome man?" Li Banfeng looked at the psychic Zhuang Shuxing.

Zhuang Shuxing thought for a moment and shouted towards the door: "Handsome guy!"

The light bulb, the middle school student, the star, the awl, and the flower crab all turned their heads at the same time.

Zhuang Shuxing said: "Director, look, there is no man in this world who thinks he is not handsome. There is a big problem with his calling.

I have seen this kind of thing a lot. This is our summoning contract, which was written in Huanguo language. I don't know who translated it into English and it got spread outside.
Ingrid was translated into Sipane, Sipane became Otelli, Otelli was translated into Rafsha, and after many twists and turns, it came back to us and became foreign witchcraft. Isn't this nonsense?

Psychics can summon war spirits by controlling them with techniques. These white lambs know nothing and are using Western witchcraft and our contract to mess around. Who knows what they might summon. "Li Banfeng looked at the three bodies at the scene. The wounds were all in the throat. They were all killed with one knife.

"Have you found the murder weapon?"

The law enforcement officers at the scene shook their heads. A forensic doctor said, "From the appearance, the three wounds should be caused by three different weapons, or the weapons used by the murderer have different variations in different locations."

Li Banfeng looked at the broken TV screen. At the end of the last century, LCD screens were not popular and many karaoke bars used glass screens.

He looked at the location and distance of the body and said to the medical examiner, "Look for it among the broken glass on the ground."

Zhong Er said: "Director, you mean that the ghosts they summoned picked up the broken glass on the ground to commit crimes?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "No need to pick it up."

He had seen such a battle in Provo.

"The Revenant smashed the TV screen with one punch, and the flying glass cut the necks of the three men."

Chuunib couldn't believe it: "Can such a thing really be done?"

"You are a fighter. You will be able to do it when you reach a higher level."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhuang Shuxing was also a little surprised: "How high a level is this? Does Datou have this ability?"

Datou doesn't have this ability, and a fifth-level martial artist cannot do this.

Chen Changrui didn't say anything, he knew Li Banfeng had found the right direction.

But finding the murder weapon doesn't seem to be of much help to the current situation.

"They are in trouble," Li Qi said solemnly, "They summoned a high-level martial artist, and we don't know where this martial artist is now."

Chen Changrui had similar concerns. He asked the law enforcement officers, "Have you checked other areas of the underground city?"

The law enforcement officer replied: "It was just a rough check."

Li Banfeng handed the scene over to the forensic doctor and led everyone towards the depths of the nightclub.

This karaoke bar has been abandoned for many years. The tiles in the corridor are broken, covered with dust and cobwebs, and insects crawling by from time to time.

The karaoke bar is quite large, with more than twenty private rooms of various sizes deep in the corridor.

As we were about to reach the end of the corridor, we heard a burst of laughter from a box on the left.

"Boss Wang, would you like another drink? Just one."

"Little darling, if you let me kiss you, I'll have a drink!"

Who is Mr. Wang?
Li Banfeng turned around and looked at Director Wang.

Director Wang was shocked and said, "That's definitely not me!"

There is someone in this box.

There was a faint sound of singing coming from inside, it was seriously out of tune and had a huge echo, typical of singing in a karaoke hall.

"Is there no one checking here?" Director Wang looked at Chen Changrui.

Chen Changrui was also surprised. Even if the law enforcement officers ignored this box, they would definitely be able to discover someone singing there.

Besides, this is a karaoke bar that has been abandoned for many years, how could the sound equipment still be working?

Zhong Er pulled out his pistol and was about to go forward to investigate, but was pulled back by Li Banfeng.

"Everyone, be on alert!" Li Banfeng gave the order, "Everyone, take your positions!"

It is difficult to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the security team, but after all, they are well-trained and quickly took their positions in the corridor.

The strong malice that came over him made Li Banfeng break out in a cold sweat.

When I pushed the door and entered the box, the singing and laughter stopped abruptly. It seemed that this place was no different from other boxes, except for the thick dust and layers of cobwebs.

Li Banfeng touched the glass screen and the hairs on the back of his hand stood up.

There is static electricity.

This screen has just been used.

He opened his golden eyes and scanned the room, but found nothing unusual.

Anything that can escape the golden eyes is of a high level, at least higher than Li Banfeng's current level.

He quietly left the box and immediately gave the order: "Leave the dungeon and seal off the surrounding area!"

……

At noon, Shen Jingye arrived at the scene and personally directed the investigation.

Ten investigators, fully armed and carrying reconnaissance equipment, entered the underground city and continued their investigation until seven o'clock in the evening, when they obtained preliminary results.

The Chamomile Wizard Association used a psychic summoning ritual to summon an autonomous dark energy collective. This collective is a high-level fighter whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

The sound that Li Qi and others heard in the karaoke bar should have come from a dark energy carrier with illusion properties. The level of this carrier is unknown and its whereabouts are unknown.

"Xiao Shen, do you mean there is a magic weapon that can perform illusions in the box?"

Shen Jingye nodded: "This is the only reasonable explanation that can be made at the moment."

What kind of reasonable explanation is this?
If it is really a magic weapon, how high must the level of this magic weapon be? Even Pan Dehai could not escape Li Banfeng's golden eyes.

Could this thing be in the dark dimension?
Li Banfeng still wanted to find an opportunity to try using the bowl to get in, but Shen Jingye was more worried about another thing.

"Where did the ghost of that fighter go?"

Li Qi asked, "What did the witnesses say?"

Shen Jingye handed the witnesses' statements to Li Qi: "They didn't provide much valuable information.

This time the gathering was hosted by their president, who bought the summoning book through a similar organization in Rafsha and performed a spiritual ceremony using the knowledge their association had.

According to their description, at the beginning of the ceremony, the lights in the box suddenly lit up and the temperature dropped sharply. The enthusiasts were very excited.
But later, the box showed signs of distortion and collapse, and the fans fled the box. During the escape, a man with a physical body appeared among them, and two witnesses were injured after contact with the man.
The three victims were injured by sharp weapons. The murder weapon has been identified and is exactly the same as your inference. It is the broken glass on the ground. If three people were killed in one blow, this situation is too terrible. "

It was rare for Shen Jingye to be so focused on the case, and Li Banfeng admired his professionalism.

"What are you going to do next?"

Shen Jingye said: "I have reported the case to my superiors, and they have already started the operation. It is a very special operation. Neither you nor I can ask about the specific content of the operation."

Li Banfeng was surprised: "Is it so special?"

Shen Jingye lowered his voice to the lowest level: "As far as I know, the higher-ups have sent out a person whose identity is kept secret. This person has a way to find the resentful spirit and eliminate him."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Xiao Shen, you really can't reveal any of the inside information?"

"It's not that I don't want to reveal it, it's that I really don't know. This person's identity is top secret and there's no way to guess it!"

……

"What can't be guessed?" After listening to Li Banfeng's description, the wife was very disdainful, "My husband, where is the contract that they used to summon the evil spirit?"

Li Banfeng said: "I gave it to Shen Jingye, and Shen Jingye said he handed it over to his superiors."

Chichi~
The record player sneered, "I thought I was doing something brilliant, isn't it just a trick used by the curse practitioner to track down the evil spirit? This contract is closely related to the evil spirit, and it is the proof that he came here. The curse practitioner can use this connection to cast a curse on the evil spirit."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "This is also a good idea. If the spell is successful, can we destroy the ghost?"

The record player blew out steam and said, "It's hard to say. It depends on the cultivation of both parties."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "After the ghost died once, its strength must have been damaged."

The record player said: "The spell practitioner does not cast a spell directly, but through a contract. There is an extra twist, and the spell will also be damaged.

In this situation, no one can gain an advantage. If the spell practitioner's skill is higher than that of the ghost, he will have a chance to curse the ghost to death.
However, if the curse practitioner's skill level is not as good as that of the ghost, and the ghost survives the curse, the curse will not work, and the curse practitioner will suffer the backlash.

However, the sect of Zhu Xiu is really good at being an assassin. In Pro Province, all forces hate Zhu Xiu very much and kill one if they find one. There are only a few practitioners of this sect left.
I guess there aren't many spell practitioners in other states. If you find one or two occasionally, you have to use them carefully. You can't say for sure if they will have second thoughts and stab you in the back without anyone knowing. It makes sense to keep this a secret."

After sorting out the causes and consequences, Li Banfeng also saw the situation clearly: "Wait for two days. If there is no movement in this matter, it proves that the curse cultivator has killed the ghost. If the curse cultivator fails, Shen Jingye will definitely come to me.
Madam, I suspect the danger in the karaoke hall is related to the unnamed place. I plan to take the bowl and take a look. "

"My dear husband, I think this matter cannot be rushed. My dear husband, he has already reached the second level of the Cloud Upper Realm. The opponent who can make my dear husband break into a cold sweat is definitely not an ordinary person.

Regardless of whether this enemy is in an unknown place or not, I think he must be related to the ghost. Once we catch the ghost and find out the details, it won’t be too late to investigate further.”

Li Banfeng hugged the record player and rubbed it against the speaker: "Where can I find such a good and virtuous wife?"

The record player said in a tender voice, "My husband, don't hold me so tight."

Hong Ying asked in a tender voice: "Qilang, can you fly?"

Li Banfeng put down the oil bottle he had raised, lowered his head and left Suishenju.

The record player raised the board and said, "You bitch, why do you always ridicule your husband?"

Hong Ying lay down beside the record player and said, "I just don't want to see you two being intimate!"

"What's wrong with us being intimate? We are a legitimate couple? Why should we..." The record player felt something was wrong and pushed Hong Ying with a board, "Stay away from me first."

……

The next morning, Li Banfeng was packing up some documents and was about to go to a meeting when Shen Jingye knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Director Li, I have work to report to you."

"Xiao Shen, you've made progress again, but I'm very busy now. Let's make another appointment."

"Director Li, where are you going?"

"It's a meeting! Didn't you give the notice yesterday?"

Shen Jingye stopped Li Qi and said, "The meeting has been delayed."

Li Banfeng was very worried: "How long will it be delayed? You will disrupt my work rhythm."

"It doesn't matter if we don't have a meeting. You should listen to me first. My superiors have entrusted us with the task of searching for the vengeful spirits. This is a sign of their trust in us."

"Why didn't you trust me before?"

"Then let's not talk about what happened before..."

Li Banfeng laughed and said, "It's ruined, right? The spell didn't work, right?"

Shen Jingye pursed his lips and said, "I'm not too sure about the specific reason."

"Then you should first figure out what happened. How did it go wrong? What level is that curse practitioner at? What method did he use? What is the current situation? Compile a report and give it to me."

Shen Jingye sighed, "It's really hard for me to talk to my superiors about this."

"You're telling me right now?" Li Qi's face darkened. "Don't come back to see me if you can't figure this out!"

Shen Jingye went out with his head down. He searched from morning till night and finally got the information.

The superior sent out a seventh-level spell cultivator who used spells according to the contract. He fought for more than two hours, but the spell backfired and he died.

Is there really seven floors?
After returning to his residence, Li Banfeng carefully looked through the information.

The upper limit of the levels disclosed to the public in other states is the seventh level. The level of this curse cultivator may be above the seventh level. He was backfired, which proved that the ghost's cultivation level was higher than his.

Where can I find this dead soul?
Li Banfeng couldn't think of a good solution for a moment, and suddenly saw the projector open the film compartment: "Director Seven, there's a phone call for you, from Tang Changfa."

Li Banfeng called back. Tang Changfa was in the theater box and whispered, "Boss, someone is delivering goods to Yin Si Niang."

"Where is the man?"

"Just entered the box."

"Hold still and wait for me to fly over!" Li Banfeng opened the window and jumped out.

boom!
A cloud of dust flew up, and Li Banfeng stood up from the green belt of the community and rushed towards the Cultural Palace.

PS: You have to learn to ride the wind and clouds quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to even lift the oil bottle.

This vengeful spirit is of great importance, and we must find a way to capture him.
