Everyone's Suppressing Ghosts: Others Contract Divine Weapons, I Contract Blank Paper

Chapter 19 Five Thousand Merit Points! Number One on the Entire List!

Entrance to the underground parking garage of Building 4.

The "sealing" order is still pasted on both sides of the door frame.

White light pressed against the crack in the door, and no evil spirits rushed out from inside.

However, the gray notification at the bottom of the task panel still hasn't disappeared.

[Underground parking garage anomaly: Not cleared.]

[Abnormal Target: Not included in the count of ordinary Yin Sha.]

Current status: Silence.

[Recommendation: Review by the official team.]

Zhao Heng stopped the rescuers.

"Residents should evacuate first."

"Underground parking garage, sealed off."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Du.

Xu Du, carrying a white paper lantern, had already reached the entrance to the garage.

The pale, flickering light at the edge of the lamp paper had not yet been completely extinguished.

His face was paler than in the morning, and his breathing was deeper.

But he stood very steadily.

Song Lin subconsciously took two steps to follow.

"I'll go with you."

Xu Du glanced at him.

"Need not."

Song Lin stopped in his tracks.

Xu Du raised the white paper soul-guiding lamp.

Lights shone into the underground parking garage.

Deep inside the garage, the black area finally stirred.

It's not a malevolent spirit.

It's more like a clump of contaminated material compressed to the extreme.

The ordinary Yin energy has been cleared away.

However, it was hidden at the bottom floor, thus avoiding the simultaneous clearing of the six floors just now.

Zhao Heng stared at the monitoring screen.

[Contaminated tuberculosis detected.]

[Risk Level: Medium]

Status: Silent.

If left unattended for more than three hours, low-risk negative energy may re-emerge.

Song Lin's expression changed.

"No wonder there were no red dots earlier."

"It wasn't included at all."

Zhao Heng frowned.

"It's not a living demon."

"It's a residual nucleus from a pollution source."

Xu Du did not explain.

He pulled out thirty blank talisman papers from the cardboard box.

The white paper is illuminated by the guiding lamp.

Thirty sheets of white paper floated up at the same time.

He picked up his pen and wrote two words.

town.

Extinction.

Fifteen sheets of paper with the character "镇" (zhen, meaning town) on them were sent into the garage first.

White paper was pasted around the black contaminated nodules.

The black mist suddenly contracted.

Detect screen refresh.

[Activity of contaminated tuberculosis: 72%]

[Activity of contaminated tuberculosis: 39%]

[Activity of contaminated tuberculosis: 11%]

Subsequently, fifteen orders to "annihilate" were issued.

boom!

The black contaminant nodules were crushed by white light.

In the underground parking garage, the black area where light couldn't penetrate the white sheet of paper finally dispersed.

The task panel has been refreshed.

[Underground parking garage anomaly: Cleared.]

[Contaminated tuberculosis: 1/1.]

[Pollution sources in Anmin Residential Area: 0.]

[The mission is now complete.]

Zhao Heng immediately said, "Record it."

Staff members uploaded the data simultaneously.

[Assisted by: Xu Du]

[Procedure: Removal of contaminated nodules in the underground parking garage.]

[Materials: 30 blank talisman sheets.]

[Task completion confirmed —]

A few seconds later.

The entire mission panel of the Bureau of Spirits has been refreshed.

[The incident of malevolent energy emanating from Anmin Residential Community.]

Final rating: B.

[Building under lockdown: 6/6]

[Yin Sha Cleansing: 333/333.]

[Contamination tuberculosis removal: 1/1.]

[Protection of trapped residents: 83/83.]

[New casualties: 0.]

[Pollution diffusion rate: 0%]

[Main body clearing time: 47 seconds.]

[Task Status: Completed.]

[Task Evaluation: Excellent.]

Outside the cordon, the residents who had just been rescued had not gone far.

Upon hearing the word "completed," some people's legs went weak, and they sat down on the ground.

Someone was holding a child and crying.

Someone looked back at the traces of white paper remaining in the six old buildings and remained silent for a long time.

Song Lin stood beside Zhao Heng.

Looking at the task panel.

He didn't say a word.

Zhao Heng walked up to Xu Du.

"The task completion information will be synchronized with both the academy and the Bureau of Spirits."

"Your contribution this time is considerable."

Xu Du nodded.

"Um."

Zhao Heng glanced at the empty cardboard box on the ground.

"Consumables Statistics"

The staff immediately reported the number.

"Sealing off the building, 600 photos."

"Protect the residents, 300 sheets."

"The sixth floor has been cleared, with 420 sheets removed."

"Thirty photos in the underground parking garage."

"—1,350 sheets."

Zhao Heng said, "Reimbursement."

A new notification pops up in the task panel.

[Reimbursement for task consumables: 1350 blank talisman sheets.]

[Excellent rating reward: 1350 blank talisman sheets.]

[A total of 2700 blank talisman sheets were reissued.]

The other interns nearby stared wide-eyed.

"Did you have extra paper after completing the mission?"

"Reimburse 1300, and give me another 1300, bro!"

"—Is this how you resupply paper lanterns?"

"Our town's treasures are ground up every time we use them, but his treasures increase in value every time he uses them."

"How can we compare these?"

Song Lin remained silent for a moment, then walked up to Xu Du.

Her face was still pale.

He opened his mouth.

Then he paused again.

"----Just now."

His throat moved.

"I didn't see it clearly."

"sorry."

Xu Du glanced at him.

"fine."

Song Lin was taken aback.

Xu Du glanced at the rescued residents again.

"The person is not dead."

Song Lin tightened his grip on the sword.

He didn't say anything more.

Zhao Heng glanced at it from the side but didn't say anything.

That noon.

The task settlement for the Anmin Community incident has been officially synchronized to the Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau's task hall.

The electronic screen in the center of the hall lit up.

[Level B Mission: The Outflow of Yin Energy from Anmin Residential Community]

[Task Evaluation: Excellent.]

[Main contributor: Xu Du.]

Contribution rate: 73%.

[The task leaderboard has been updated.]

Immediately afterwards, a series of lists popped up.

[Xu Du ranks first on the Anmin Community Task Contribution Ranking.]

[Jiangcheng Trainee Assistance Task Clearance Ranking First: Xu Du.]

[Xu Du ranks first on the Jiangcheng trainee assistance mission resident protection list.]

[Jiangcheng Trainee Assistance Mission Pollution Suppression Ranking First: Xu Du.]

[Xu Du achieved the best overall performance in this mission.]

Finally, a bolded notification light up.

[Xu Du ranks first on the Anmin Community task leaderboard.]

In the mission hall, all the demon hunters who were handing over missions stopped what they were doing.

"Is it that name again?"

"Jiang Gui's white paper lantern?"

"Didn't he just get first place in the freshman internship this morning?"

"After completing the practical training, I immediately took on the Level B training."

"A contribution rate of 73%, bro."

"Ranked first in the entire list of internship assistance tasks."

"—How many days has he been in Jianggui?"

The Bureau of Spirits' settlement officer deposited the final reward into the account.

[Basic reward for Rank B mission: 1200 Merit Points.]

[Additional reward for Yin Sha removal: 666 Merit Points.]

[Additional Resident Protection Points: 830 Merit Points]

[Zero Pollution Spread Reward: 600 Merit Points.]

[Additional reward for handling the underground parking garage anomaly: 400 merit points.]

[Excellent evaluation reward: 700 merit points.]

Total reward for this mission: 4396 Merit Points.

[Award Recipient: Xu Du]

[Current Merit Points: 5996]

When the last line popped up, the task lobby fell silent again.

"—Five thousand nine hundred and ninety-six?"

"It was only a little over a thousand this morning."

"Breaking five thousand in one day?"

"I did it for three years."

"Stop talking, stop talking."

"He's a freshman, bro."

"—A new student."

The settlement clerk continued processing.

[Merit privileges updated.]

Xu Du currently has over 5000 merit points.

[Unlocked Permissions: Freedom to accept tasks below Rank B.]

[Unlocked Access: Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau Basic Supply Catalog.]

[Unlock Permissions: Eligibility to apply for querying low-level sealed items.]

The people in the mission lobby were in complete uproar.

"For grades B and below, you can freely accept orders?"

"He can take on C-level and D-level cases by himself?"

"New students can freely take orders?"

Has Jiangcheng ever had this before?

"No, I don't think so."

"This is fucking inflated."

"Hey bro, the guy I mentioned before who's involved in the white paper lamp control scheme, come out here."

The news quickly spread from the Bureau of Spirits' Mission Hall to the Ghost Academy in Jiangcheng Town.

Then it was uploaded to the college forum.

It was then forwarded to the local news account in Jiangcheng.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The first headline on the homepage of Jiangcheng's local ghost news page is displayed directly.

[Xu Du, a new recruit from Jiang Gui, assisted in completing the B-level mission, the Anmin Community Incident.]

[Six residential buildings were simultaneously locked down; 333 malevolent spirits were cleared out in 47 seconds.]

[Contribution rate 73%, no new casualties.]

[Current merit level 5996, unlocked the right to freely accept missions of rank B and below.]

Below the title was a photo from the scene.

Traces of charred white paper remain in the stairwell windows of the six old buildings.

The moment the photo was posted, the comment section exploded.

Didn't he just finish his freshman internship this morning?

[Is the White Paper Lamp playing a real mission?]

[333 birds, 47 seconds, this isn't a simulation, bro.]

[Six buildings under lockdown together, contributing 73% – is this what you call trainee assistance?]

This year's class of Jiang Gui has produced a monster.

Soon, someone dug up the old files about the white paper soul-guiding lamp.

The post title is displayed on the forum homepage.

[Old Files of the Soul-Guiding Lamp on Blank Paper: The first three contractors all suffered from mental abnormalities.]

A few lines of old records were posted on the main building.

[First Contractor: Suffers from auditory hallucinations at night and persistent sleepwalking; contract terminated.]

[Second Contractor: Suffers from prolonged fits of crying and laughing; hospitalized for observation.]

[Third Contractor: Suspected backlash from the soul summoning, life lamp extinguished.]

[Original disposal recommendation: Seal or incinerate.]

The replies below exploded instantly.

[Were the first three exes all crazy?]

How come Xu Du is completely unharmed?

[Not only are you fine, bro, you got first place in practical training and scored 73 on a B-level mission.]

Is this lamp a discarded talisman or a divine object?

Is it possible that the problem isn't with the light, but with the person acting strangely?

How exactly did Xu Du manage to hold on?

[The Ghost Master of Yindeng Town, hasn't Jiang Gui appeared in 27 years?]

The path he chose is one that no one can truly understand.

The more the post gets bumped up, the higher it gets.

It was quickly marked as a featured post.

The title has been changed again.

His first three wives all went crazy, but he didn't.

At the same time.

Jiang Gui's Canteen.

Xu Du sat in the corner with a bowl of rice in his hand.

Several students nearby were secretly watching him.

Someone wanted to come up and ask.

But I dare not.

Xu Du's phone vibrated.

A notification popped up on the college forum.

His first three wives all went crazy, but he didn't.

Xu Du glanced at it.

Then flip the phone back onto the desktop.

Continue eating.

Not far away, students were speaking in hushed tones.

"—He really didn't react at all?"

"Wow, the post's been blown up like this, bro."

"Didn't he just come back from a Rank B mission?"

"He looks like he just finished class."

"————That's outrageous."

Training Hall of the Strange and Deceptive Academy.

Zhou Cheng stood in front of the firing range.

The peach wood sword with thunder patterns slashed down again and again.

The phone screen next to me was lit up.

The above is the popular forum post.

His first three wives all went crazy, but he didn't.

Someone whispered at the entrance of the training hall, "Brother Cheng."

"Xu Du is in the news again."

Zhou Cheng did not turn around.

The lightning on the peach wood sword with its lightning pattern shone even brighter.

"Shut up."

The man immediately fell silent.

The sword light fell once more.

The training target was split in two.

The Shen family in Jiangcheng.

Shen Yan sat at the tea table, watching the local news.

In the news footage, the windows of all six buildings in Anmin Residential Area were covered with traces of white paper.

He put down his teacup.

"White paper lamp".

Shen Zhixia, who was next to her, looked at the screen without saying a word.

Beijing.

The Jinggui Training Building.

Lin Xue had just finished training when a news repost from Jiangcheng popped up on her phone.

[333 Yin Sha, 47 seconds.]

She stopped in her tracks.

The Nine-Section Frost Bone Whip was wrapped around his wrist, and he moved it slightly.

After reading the news, Lin Xue only said one sentence: "It's getting faster and faster."

night.

Jiang Gui Practical Training Department.

Xu Du had just returned to the training building when he saw Lin Qingzhu standing at the office door.

Teacher Chen was also there.

She pushed up her thin-rimmed glasses and held a new list in her hand.

A thick stack.

Lin Qingzhu looked at Xu Du.

My gaze lingered for half a second each on his face and the white paper lantern beside him.

There was a trace of dust on the edge of the lamp paper, but it hadn't dissipated.

She didn't say anything, only softened her tone.

"The payment has been received at Anmin Residential Area."

"Meritorious service, 5,996."

"The option to accept orders freely for levels B and below has also been opened."

Xu Du nodded.

"Um."

Teacher Chen handed him the list in her hand.

"There's one more thing."

"The second batch of the abandoned town property review plan has been approved."

Xu Du accepted it.

The first page of the list, at the very top, reads:

[Second batch of verified list of abandoned structures at Jiangcheng Town's Ghost Academy.]

Quantity: 12 items.

[Review Assistance Person: Xu Du]

Below are twelve sealed items that have not yet been unfolded.

Each number is stamped with a red seal.

[Original recommended action: Permanently archive.]

Lin Qingzhu said, "This time..."

"More than one."

Xu Du looked at the twelve numbers.

The white paper soul-guiding lamp swayed gently beside his hand.

He closed the list.

"Next batch."
