Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 345 Bai Yongnian's Plan
"Chen Xin, I heard that in this operation, the divine messengers were killed by the underworld officials?"

"I heard he died a terrible death, falling hundreds of meters from the sky and crashing to his death!"

Chen Xin had only been back at the bureau for a short time when Xia Hong and Dugu Yue from the Information Management Department pulled him aside to ask about the situation.

It's no wonder the two were excited; whether it was besieging the divine messengers or the underworld officials, these were the two topics that the Bureau of Investigation had been discussing the most recently.

Not to mention that these two things happened in the same event!

"I heard that the messenger was about to run away, but then the underworld messengers transformed into divine crows and descended from the sky, swatting the messenger's people down with a single wing. From beginning to end, the messenger's people were completely powerless to fight back!"

Xia Hong asked, his eyes wide.

"Are the members of the Divine Messenger Organization capable of flying and disappearing into the earth, and are omnipotent?"

Dugu Yue also looked at Chen Xin with anticipation.

Chen Xin was helpless.

"Who spread the news?"

That's what everyone says!

Xia Hong and Dugu Yue spoke in unison.

Chen Xin shook his head.

"First, the messenger was driven away by Master Mo Pao, and his strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. Second, the underworld officials did not transform into divine crows and knock the messenger down from the sky with a single wing; they used special equipment called the Soul-Binding Rope."

"After being suppressed by the Soul-Binding Rope and the weapon of the Mage Mo Pao, the messenger of the gods fell from the sky and died."

"Finally, two ghosts appeared inside the body of the Divine Envoy who fell to his death. Both were Blood Calamity level ghosts, but they were suppressed by Mage Mo Pao and another temporary worker. Now the main bodies of the two ghosts have been brought back by the director."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he noticed that the two of them looked somewhat disappointed.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why all the people we mobilized were less effective than a single underworld official. It turns out we were the ones who played the main role."

"They are two underworld messengers."

Chen Xin corrected.

Dugu Yue said from the side, "Even so, can the underworld messengers really ascend to heaven? Such an ability to ascend to heaven is very rare. In our bureau, only the top team leader Qi Lin, who died on Chuanshan Mountain, could do something similar with his hair, but he couldn't reach that height."

Chen Xin nodded.

"It can indeed fly."

"Tsk, the underworld has so many tricks up its sleeve."

Dugu Yue sighed.

After chatting with the two about some gossip, Chen Xin walked out of the Bureau of Investigation and headed home.

However, Chen Xin's mind was not on this, but on Bai Hongtao's office.

Through the raven feathers on Ji Mo and Bai Yongnian's bodies, Chen Xin was listening to the conversation between the three.

……

"Thank you both for your help this time. If it weren't for you, it would have been quite troublesome to continue tracking that divine messenger."

Bai Hongtao said earnestly.

Although they can access satellite footage and deploy low-altitude weapons, the fact that the members of the Divine Messenger organization escaped will still be attributed to him.

Even if they were caught later, it would be pointless to eliminate the divine messenger in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Bai Hongtao was truly grateful to the two people in front of him at this moment, and at the same time, he was amazed by the methods of the underworld.

Despite the fact that neither of the two people in front of them possessed the same level of physical strength as an ordinary team leader in the Bureau of Investigation, they had accomplished something that even top team leaders couldn't do.

"The Underworld and the Bureau of Investigation are allies; it's just a small favor, nothing to be done."

Ji Mo smiled slightly.

Ji Mo was very satisfied with this move.

He and Bai Yongnian had actually arrived long ago, but they didn't make a move. Instead, they hid and watched the battle from the sidelines using the concealment effect of the Raven Feather Raincoat.

It's not that we don't want to intervene, but that we can't get involved.

The initial sludge ball attracted many senior team leaders, but what could they possibly do there?
Not to mention the giant octopus that followed; he felt like he would explode if he touched it.

But who could have imagined that the messenger of the gods would eventually be forced to ascend to heaven?
Until he and Bai Yongnian flew into the sky and threw out the Soul-Binding Rope, Ji Mo was always ready to escape. But who knew that the divine messenger would be bound by the Soul-Binding Rope and fall down.

Even if there were two Yin General-level Soul Binding Ropes among those Soul Binding Ropes, Ji Mo didn't think they would have much effect.

But the actual situation surprised him greatly.

Such a powerful divine messenger was killed by the Soul-Binding Rope!
Although it didn't kill him outright, it was enough to make him arrogant.

Just as he was about to continue showing off, Bai Yongnian's voice rang out from the side.

"Although it's a partnership, we don't want to work for free."

Bai Yongnian's words were somewhat cold, leaving Ji Mo unsure how to respond.

But when he remembered that it was Bai Yongnian who initiated this matter and that it was Bai Yongnian who made the decision to take action earlier, he fell silent.

Compared to Bai Yongnian, who had been in business for some years, he could only be considered a second-generation player, so it was best to leave the communication to Bai Yongnian.

Bai Hongtao paused for a moment after hearing Bai Yongnian's words, but quickly nodded.

"Of course I won't let you two work for nothing. Originally, I was thinking of letting you two choose from the Bureau of Investigation's equipment and see if there's anything you like. Also, I see that you two seem to be following the path of Yang cultivation. The Bureau of Investigation's Ten-Flavor Rehmannia Pill is quite effective for Yang cultivation, so you can give it a try."

"Of course, if you two have your own needs, you can speak up." Seeing Bai Hongtao say this, Bai Yongnian did not stand on ceremony.

"We two want to stay near that crack in Mubei City for a while to deal with some ghosts."

Bai Hongtao thought Bai Yongnian was going to make some kind of request, but... that's all?
"You two know the location of the rift. If you want to stay, you can go directly there. The people there have already been evacuated, and you can find a room to stay in. If you are worried about having a conflict with the commissioners, I can give them a word of advice."

Bai Yongnian shook his head.

“What I mean is, I hope the Bureau of Polling can designate an area for the two of us to be in charge of for a period of time.”

"During this period, the two of us were responsible for all the ghostly activities in that area."

Bai Hongtao looked puzzled as he listened to Bai Yongnian's words.

Is there such a good thing?
Before, he would have worried about whether the two could hold that area, but after what happened with the divine messenger, seeing the heroic spirit of the dozens of soul-binding ropes they threw out and their ability to fly, he was no longer worried.

I just don't know how many areas to draw.

"That's no problem, but I'm wondering how large an area you two need?"

Bai Yongnian thought for a moment and asked, "How many ghosts and spirits are spawning near the Yinming Rift every day, and what level are they?"

"Hold on."

Bai Hongtao pulled up the most recent report and took a look.

"It has been four days since the warm sun went out. The number of ghosts and spirits in the three-kilometer radius around the crack has increased from about fifty per day at the beginning to about three hundred per day yesterday. It is expected that the number of ghosts and spirits will be maintained at about five hundred per day in the later stage, which will reach the upper limit. Among them, the number of fierce ghosts is about one-twentieth. Of course, this is the result after our people dealt with the wandering ghosts in time. Otherwise, the number of fierce ghosts would be much higher."

"Besides the situation near the crack, the rate at which ghosts are proliferating in Mubei City is also increasing, with a density that is about one-tenth of that near the crack."

Bai Yongnian did some mental calculations and then said, "The two of us can handle the ghosts in a quarter of the area around the crack. Director Bai, you decide on the specific division."

Upon hearing 'one-quarter', Bai Hongtao was startled.

He had originally arranged forty people around the crack, which meant that Bai Yongnian and his companion were to replace ten agents from the Bureau of Investigation.

But is this okay?

It wasn't that Bai Hongtao didn't want to, but he was afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to quickly resolve the ghostly situation. If the accumulated evil spirits were to develop into malevolent forces or bloodshed, it would be quite difficult to handle.

Seemingly sensing Bai Hongtao's concerns, Bai Yongnian continued, "If Director Bai is still worried, you can send someone to search the area we are handling every three days to see if there are any escapees."

three days?

Bai Hongtao nodded.

If it's three days, then that's fine.

There are no humans near the Yinming Rift anymore, so it would take ten days to half a month for a malevolent spirit to form.

Checking every three days is enough to eliminate any hidden dangers.

"can."

After Bai Hongtao finished speaking, he added, "However, in the end, the Underworld is doing this for the Great Xia. We can't just take advantage of it. So, you two can each take a batch of Rehmannia pills later as a token of the Bureau of Investigation's gratitude."

Bai Yongnian did not refuse.

Both he and his child will be able to use Rehmannia Pill in the future.

"Then thank you, Director Bai."

After saying this, the two each took ten bottles of Shiwei Dihuang Pills and then transformed into a flock of crows and flew away.

Every investigator from the Bureau of Investigation who saw that flock of crows looked on with envy.

That's flying!

Even if they weren't human, they would still be enough to make them envious.

……

After learning about Bai Yongnian and the other two, and considering the other suddenly appearing underworld messengers, how could Chen Xin not know what their intentions were?
They're fighting for real estate in the underworld!
While chuckling to himself, Chen Xin also began to ponder.

"The allure of underworld properties to the underworld officials has exceeded my expectations. It seems we need to think about this aspect further."

Chen Xin took out paper and pen and began to take notes.

[Thoughts on the Future Plans for Underworld Real Estate]

#1: One pot of Tusu wine for every ten Yin virtues earned. One pot per household per day. If service is required beyond this limit, one pot costs one hundred Yin virtues, and so on. (Initially, Yin Cha (Yin Messenger) level Tusu wine will be provided; later, Yin Shuai (Yin Marshal) and Yin Si (Yin Division) level Tusu wine will be available.
#2: Raven Feather Raincoat Rental. It can conceal one's appearance and allows one to fly and tour the scenery within a two-kilometer radius of the Three Mountains. One person accumulates ten merits per day, and a maximum of two raincoats can be rented per household per day. (A paid experience of exorcising evil spirits in the underworld can be offered later, where wearing the raincoat to fight ghosts will receive corresponding protection from the underworld.)
#3: Underworld Courier Service. Ten points of Yin Virtue are required per service. This allows you to send items to the mortal realm and receive goods from the mortal world to the underworld. Limited to once per day. If you wish to continue providing the service beyond this limit, one hundred points of Yin Virtue are required per service, and so on. (Imprint the Heavenly Seal and the Netherworld Seal on the cloth dog's body to make it a courier.)

After writing this, Chen Xin thought for a moment and added another point.

#4: Development of the New Location of the Underworld

There's no rush. We'll see how the housing rental situation is in the Sanshan area later.

With that thought in mind, Chen Xin tore the notebook apart and burned it completely.

Time flies by.

early morning.

Chen Xin shifted his gaze from the forum, checked the time, turned off his computer, and vanished into the room as a wisp of black mist.

When it reappeared, it was already Maple Leaf Street.

……

P.S.: I went back to my hometown today and I'm a bit tired. I'll rest for a day and add more tomorrow. Goodnight.
