Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 66: Soul Device

Bao Lingqing's sudden appointment caught Wang Xingping off guard.

Team leader?

That requires the power to destroy evil spirits!
He is a team leader who hasn't even mastered the third version of the fitness exercises? What a joke!
Promotion in the Poll Bureau is not the same as promotion outside.

Although the higher the position, the better the salary, the corresponding risks are also greater!
First of all, each team leader has task targets every month. Team leaders who fail to meet the targets for three consecutive months will be forced to perform dangerous tasks.

In a so-called dangerous mission, there will be at least three or more evil spirits, and it is not impossible that there will be fierce monsters.

In addition, the team leader must be at the front when performing tasks.

If the responsibility to protect the assistant is not fulfilled during the mission, resulting in the assistant's death, the person will be warned once, and the second time will be directly sent to perform a dangerous mission.

Of course, you can choose not to have an assistant and do everything yourself.

Team leaders who can do this are basically senior or above.

Because these people can kill ghosts even without the help of assistants.

But what about Wang Xingping?
Only after you have mastered the third version of physical training can you have a chance to fight against evil spirits.

Most of the team leaders either reach the top of the third version of physical training, then switch to the Yin school, exchange for sealed objects, and plant ghosts in their bodies.

Or you can accumulate points to exchange for the fourth edition of physical exercises. After getting started, when you have enough strength, you will take on a ghost mission and complete the promotion.

If Wang Xingping became the team leader, that one task would be enough to add another grave to the Wang family!
"Director, I feel my abilities are limited. I am not qualified to be the team leader!"

Wang Xingping said this sternly and righteously, still wondering in his heart whether he had offended Bao Lingqing in some way, otherwise why would he treat him like this?
Could it be that the words he called Bao Lingqing "Bao Jueding" in private were heard by the other party?

Just when Wang Xingping was daydreaming, Bao Lingqing said with a smile: "Haha, you deserve it, you deserve it."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Xingping to refuse, Bao Lingqing took out a bottle of medicine.

"Because of your outstanding performance this time, Xiao Wang, you will also receive an extra bottle of Twelve-flavor Rehmannia Pills. At the same time, you can choose to recruit an ordinary specialist as your assistant, or you can choose to continue to be Wang Hanxue's assistant, but at the latest one year, you will have to lead a team independently."

Listening to Bao Lingqing's words and looking at the bottle of Twelve-Ingredient Rehmannia Pills on the other person's table, Wang Xingping was stunned.

Although he longed for the bottle of Rehmannia Pills, he did not go to get it.

"Director, I did my duty in this mission, which does not match the reward you gave me. Please explain clearly."

Hearing Wang Xingping say this, Bao Lingqing smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell you then."

Wang Xingping thought to himself, as expected, and listened attentively.

"The thing you summoned during the mission should be your life soul weapon. The things I gave you are the investment of the Lingyuan City Branch in you. If your strength improves in the future, remember to help Lingyuan City when you need it."

Wang Xingping was stunned.

When he heard the term "natal soul weapon", he remembered the knowledge about natal soul weapons that his training teacher had taught him during his previous training.

The so-called natal soul weapon is a particularly mysterious thing.

Anyone who reaches a certain level of spirit, energy and vitality can awaken their own soul weapon.

This means that the soul weapon is not valuable?

But in fact, in the nearly fifty years since the Public Opinion Survey was launched, the number of people who have awakened their innate Horcruxes has not exceeded one hundred.

The probability is probably one in ten thousand.

Please note that this one in ten thousand base refers to the commissioners of the Poll Bureau.

If this were placed among ordinary people, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is one in ten million.

As for the reason, it is the awakening condition of the natal Horcrux.

Different people can have different soul weapons that match their destiny.

Some people may be holding swords, spears, swords, and halberds, while others may be holding axes, halberds, hooks, and forks.

But more of them are all kinds of objects in this world, such as TV sets, remote controls, wooden sticks, bricks, rulers, mineral water bottles, etc.

If a person has never come into contact with an object that matches him in his life, he will never awaken his natal Horcrux.

And this is just the first step.

If you happen to come into contact with an item that suits you, it doesn't mean you can awaken.

Different people have different sensitivities to awakening their natal Horcruxes.

Some people awaken their innate Horcruxes directly when they come into contact with compatible objects for the first time.

But some people will not awaken until they have been with the matching item for a year.

Such uncertainty means that one cannot use the process of elimination to find one's own Horcrux.

It took the Public Opinion Research Bureau twenty years from the time it discovered the existence of the Horcrux to the time it came to this conclusion.

The moment the conclusion was reached, the Public Opinion Bureau gave up on using the Soul Device as a conventional method.

Although it is still discussed during training sessions today, it is treated as extracurricular knowledge.

Those who are interested will naturally try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it doesn’t, then so be it. No one can succeed anyway.

This is also the reason why Wang Xingping knew about his natal soul weapon but never thought about it in that direction.

But when Bao Lingqing mentioned this, Wang Xingping's heart skipped a beat.

Maybe, it’s true!

"Haha, come to think of it, you are the second person to awaken your soul weapon since the establishment of the Lingyuan Citizen Investigation Bureau branch. For a talent like you, it is not too much for me to invest in you, right?"

Looking at Bao Lingqing, Wang Xingping uttered three words.

"It's not an exaggeration."

"Then take it. This bottle of twelve Twelve-flavor Rehmannia Pills will allow you to quickly complete the third edition. When you exchange it for the fourth edition of the physical strengthening exercises, you will be able to take on the role of team leader."

Bao Lingqing said with a smile.

Wang Xingping nodded and took the Twelve-Ingredient Rehmannia Pills.

Listening to the sound of pills hitting the bottle, Wang Xingping felt a little dazed.

He just touched the white pole... no, it should be called the mourning staff at Li Dazhu's house that day, and then he awakened his natal soul weapon?

If it weren't for that time, he might never have had any connection with the mourning stick in his life.

But this is only part of it. What is more important is that he awakened the sensitivity of his own Horcrux!
If his sensitivity is low, there will be no result even if he makes contact with it that time.

"So, I'm a genius?"

After a trance, Wang Xingping looked at Bao Lingqing and asked again: "Director, how can I summon my soul weapon? I didn't know why I was able to summon it twice before."

Bao Lingqing smiled.

"Take your time. After my soul weapon awakens, it will also need to slowly adapt to you. It will become familiar with you naturally over time."

After hearing what Bao Lingqing said, Wang Xingping could only nod.

"Then Chief, I'll leave first if I'm fine."

"Go."

Watching Wang Xingping leave, Bao Lingqing leaned back in his chair with a satisfied look on his face.

"I didn't expect that there would be another person with a Horcrux in Lingyuan City. Wait, in two years, you will beg me to lend Wang Xingping to you!"

Thinking of something happy, Bao Lingqing smoothed his hair again.
