"Take three red ghost candles each. The white ghost candles are in another place; you can take them if you need them," Cao Yanhua said.

"Wouldn't it have been better if headquarters had done this earlier? I don't see any sign of failure this time," Cao Yang joked from the side.

In the past, headquarters was always stingy when dealing with paranormal incidents, only willing to pay the price after the impact became significant. But this time, with a paranormal incident occurring on headquarters territory, headquarters was finally willing to take out a lot of resources, even going all out. The paranormal items they are currently holding do not need to be returned later.

"As long as you successfully resolve this paranormal incident, you can propose any condition within the scope of headquarters' capabilities," Cao Yanhua said.

At this moment, Sun Rui suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was the headquarters just making empty promises to them this time?

"Vice Minister, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hold back," Sun Rui said.

"The anomalies at headquarters didn't start recently. They began when the vengeful ghost from ZS City invaded the communications room," Cao Yanhua said. "The first to notice the anomalies was a team leader. According to his deduction, Zhao Jianguo possesses the ability to control other people's minds."

"Captain? Isn't the selection process still ongoing?" Yang Jian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yang Jian, many team leaders are already decided internally, and only a few spots are released. This must be a Ghost Master that headquarters has been hiding," Cao Yang explained.

Of course, he wasn't the pre-selected captain; he became captain through his genuine ability to handle paranormal events.

"Is this what your adult world is like? It's so complicated," Yang Jian said.

"Ahem, Cao Yang's words shouldn't be taken seriously. Every team leader is a ghost controller who has experienced numerous supernatural events and survived. The so-called pre-selection is only because these people have made great contributions," Cao Yanhua said.

Yang Jian nodded without saying anything.

"It can't be just that, right? If it's just about controlling other people's minds, it's not worth the headquarters paying such a high price. Don't tell me we're going to rescue everyone he's controlling," Sun Rui said.

"Of course not. The main thing is that this vengeful ghost is extremely good at hiding. Zhao Jianguo can only be considered the very beginning of the source," Cao Yanhua said. "You should have all smelled a strange odor recently. If you smell this odor, it means that you have been targeted by that vengeful ghost."

"Will being targeted result in being killed?" Sun Rui asked.

Cao Yanhua shook his head: "The captain at headquarters tried to imprison it, but he failed because too many people had smelled this scent, and the vengeful ghost could directly transfer to these people."

"What? If that's the case, then we could die at any moment?" Sun Rui said.

These ghost tamers maintain a certain balance within their bodies. If that vengeful ghost appears inside them, wouldn't that balance be instantly broken? They would also die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost.

"It's not as serious as you think. This vengeful ghost should still be following some kind of rule. This information was obtained based on the captain's abilities, but we don't know what the rule is." Cao Yanhua shook his head.

If what Sun Rui said is true, there is indeed no chance at all. Every ghost tamer who encounters this thing is practically asking for death.

This is why headquarters was willing to provide so many paranormal items this time, in order to ensure that the ghost controllers would not die easily when dealing with paranormal events.

"Wait, if that vengeful ghost comes out of someone else's body, can he control the vengeful ghost inside that person's body?" Sun Rui suddenly thought of a question.

"Judging from the current situation, yes, some ghost tamers have already encountered problems," Cao Yanhua said.

He hadn't intended to hide it, but he hadn't expected these top ghost controllers to be so perceptive about supernatural events.

"...Now I finally understand why he went to take the ghost coffin first." Sun Rui exhaled a breath of stale air.

"You mean that ghost wants to control the ghost messengers?" Yang Jian said, realizing the trouble they were in.

I originally thought Zhao Jianguo just wanted to release the ghost messengers and starving ghosts so that the headquarters would fall.

But from the current perspective, it is clearly a vengeful ghost searching for its puzzle piece, and ghost messengers and starving ghosts are the best choices.

"Act immediately. This time, the target is to imprison the ghost messengers," Sun Rui said.

"The ghost messengers you're talking about, are they the vengeful ghosts in that coffin?" Cao Yang asked.

He was still unaware of the vengeful ghost's killing patterns. Previously, Wang Xiaoming had been researching the ghost coffin, and all related information was classified as top secret.

"That's right. That vengeful ghost has the ability to suppress other vengeful ghosts without any countermeasure. According to Wang Xiaoming's previous information, the number of vengeful ghosts it can suppress is 5, and this number can continue to grow," Sun Rui replied.

"Hiss... I really don't know how you survived Huanggang Village back then, Yang Jian," Cao Yang exclaimed.

"Besides that, as long as the number of ghosts inside the body is lower than the number of ghosts suppressed by the ghost messengers, they will become his targets," Sun Rui said.

Cao Yang's pupils contracted: "You mean, all ordinary people will become the target of that ghost messenger?"

Sun Rui nodded: "That's my opinion, but the specifics will depend on how things develop."

"Sun Rui's speculation is correct. The number of vengeful ghosts in an ordinary person's body can be considered as 0, so they will definitely be targeted by the ghost messengers. This is the vengeful ghost that kills indiscriminately," Yang Jian added at this time.

After exchanging information about the ghost messengers, the group took some white ghost candles and left the underground base.

They couldn't wait any longer. Now that the number of vengeful spirits on everyone was still enough, they had to find the ghost messenger's trail and find a way to imprison him.

When they emerged from the underground base, they discovered that Elder Qin had vanished.

"Where did Elder Qin go?" Yang Jian asked, puzzled. He had originally intended to ask Cao Yanhua, but found that Cao Yanhua had also disappeared.

"No need to look anymore. They left this place as soon as they came out using the Ghost Domain. Perhaps they have more important things to do." Sun Rui walked forward while keeping his distance from the others, not going too far away.

Sun Rui realized that Old Master Qin wouldn't intervene until the very last moment.

Otherwise, these new generation of ghost tamers will never be able to grow up.

"Let's go. There are at least three captain-level figures here. I refuse to believe we can be wiped out," Cao Yang said in a deep voice. He was naturally referring to himself, Sun Rui, and Yang Jian.

Although headquarters did not give Yang Jian a spot as a candidate, he could sense that Yang Jian was in an incredibly good condition.

As for Zhao Lei, he can barely be considered a captain now, but his ability to survive is too poor.

The three walked along the road. The sky had darkened at some point, and the intense darkness seemed very abnormal.

The lights in the passageway couldn't penetrate the darkness before them.

"What's going on?" Zhao Lei walked in the middle, feeling uneasy in the darkness.

"The ghost messengers have arrived!" Yang Jian's ghost eye on his forehead and the ghost eye on the back of his head opened simultaneously. In his vision, the world seemed to be shrouded in blood, a crimson expanse.

"You're here so quickly... Zhao Lei, give me the human skin lantern," Sun Rui said.

Zhao Lei nodded and handed the human skin lantern he was holding to Sun Rui.

He wanted to test what would happen if he put the flames of the burning ghost inside.
