Chapter 90 With great power comes great responsibility

Back at the Extraordinary Association, Qi Wu went to the Countermeasures Bureau next door, found Yang Hansheng, and said, "I have already resolved the three S-level strange tales in Donghai City."

Yang Hansheng was very surprised and somewhat incredulous: "You solved all three S-level ghost stories?"

Qi Wu nodded: "Would I lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Hansheng suppressed his shock and quickly said, "On behalf of all the people of Donghai City, thank you."

Qi Wu waved his hand, indicating, "You're welcome. I didn't come to see you about this."

"I'd like to know, are there any cities that have completely fallen victim to ghost stories?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Hansheng pondered and said, "Quite a few cities have indeed fallen into the hands of ghost stories."

"What, you want to solve these ghost stories and save these cities?"

Qi Wu nodded, patted his chest, and laughed, "Of course, with great power comes great responsibility."

"What, don't I seem like that kind of person?"

That doesn't seem like that kind of person at all.

Yang Hansheng muttered to himself, but before he could speak, he praised, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Chairman Qi. Which city would you like to go to?"

Qi Wu smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet, but I was planning to come here to take a look. Your Bureau of Countermeasures must have comprehensive information, right?"

Yang Hansheng nodded: "This kind of news is usually not released."

"After all, the ghost stories have grown to the point where they can threaten the entire city. If we let them grow any further, there will be no way to deal with them."

"The higher-ups' intention is to completely block such strange tales."

Qi Wu glanced at Yang Hansheng: "Can it be sealed off?"

Yang Hansheng sighed: "We have to seal it off even if we can't."

"Furthermore, the federal government has recently stated online that ghost stories can become more popular through wider dissemination, so that the public's curiosity should not be too strong."

At this point, Yang Hansheng couldn't help but sigh again.

The ability of ghost stories to spread has made them uncontrollable.

There's only one way left to solve the ghost story:

Solve the ghost story when it is still weak.

Once the ghost stories become ghost story props, there's no need to worry about them growing.

Although ghost story items will turn back into ghost stories after being used for a long time, you can store them away so that the ghost stories won't appear unless you use them.

It's much better than letting the strange tales go unchecked.

The reason things have come to this point is largely because the Federation didn't pay much attention to ghost stories back then.

If we had treated ghost stories the same way we treat vengeful spirits—solving them as soon as they were discovered—the situation wouldn't be so bad now.

Suppressing his thoughts, Yang Hansheng said to Qi Wu, "President Qi, come on, let me show you the intelligence."

The two quickly arrived at the Countermeasures Bureau's archives.

Yang Hansheng instructed the staff of the Countermeasures Bureau: "Retrieve all the files on the strange tales that threaten the entire city."

The staff member nodded and pulled up some information.

Yang Hansheng said to Qi Wu, "President Qi, these are the documents you're looking for. Take a look."

Qi Wu sat down in front of the computer and started checking.

The number of cities that fell within the Federation was actually not many, only six or seven, but that number was still terrifying.

Moreover, among these cities, only those that were completely occupied were recorded. Many cities had some districts and counties that had fallen, but the entire city had not.

The actual situation is even worse.

After browsing the information for a while, Qi Wu looked at one of the cities.

Huanghu City.

Qi Wu was somewhat surprised: "Huanghu City has also fallen?"

Yang Hansheng nodded: "It only fell into their trap in the last few days."

"About two weeks ago, the strange tales at the Huanghu City aquarium started to get stronger and stronger, and in just two weeks, they began to threaten the entire city."

"Despite our efforts, the entire city ultimately fell."

"Of course, it can't be said that the city has been completely overrun, because there are still quite a few survivors in the city."

"Our policy bureau has also sent people over there."

Qi Wu asked curiously, "Aquarium Ghost Stories? Tell me the rules of these ghost stories."

Yang Hansheng began to explain: "Initially, the aquarium ghost stories were limited to one aquarium in Huanghu City."

"If you don't follow the rules when visiting the aquarium, you will be transformed into a specific marine creature."

"But as the story spread, it changed."

"Now the entire Huanghu City is like an ocean, teeming with humanoid marine creatures. All of these creatures are transformed from the residents of Huanghu City, following the rule of big fish eating small fish."

"Those survivors who were not transformed into marine life became the lowest members of the food chain."

"Based on our investigation, the terrifying aspect of this ghost story is that simply dealing with some of the marine life is ineffective."

"Unless all marine life can be wiped out in a short period of time, even if some marine life dies, new marine life will emerge to fill the original ecological niche."

"Therefore, the headquarters' attitude toward Huanghu City is to relocate the survivors."

"Once all the survivors are moved out, we can bombard the entire city with high-powered weapons and that should solve this strange phenomenon."

Hearing this, Qi Wu felt a pang of emotion.

He had previously gone to Honghu City to solve a strange tale, but unexpectedly, Huanghu City had already fallen in just one month.

Perfect timing! I'll solve the crisis in Huanghu City myself and unlock the superpowers of the Superman template along the way.

So Qi Wu said, "Let's go with Huanghu City."

Yang Hansheng nodded and asked, "Does our policy bureau need to send someone to assist us?"

Qi Wu inquired, "Do the ghost stories at the aquarium have any special mechanisms?"

Yang Hansheng said, "You can't imitate the habits of marine life. If you are too similar to marine life, you will be transformed into a marine life."

"Apart from that, there shouldn't be any special mechanisms."

"But you should be careful, those marine creatures all have special abilities, and as enemies, they are quite dangerous."

.

Suddenly, Yang Hansheng thought of something else and added, "By the way, there are some other strange tales in Huanghu City. If you encounter them, it could be dangerous."

Qi Wu said, "Let me go check the situation first."

Back at the Extraordinary Association, Qi Wu found Lu Xiao: "Elbow, come with me on a mission."

Lu Xiao was taken aback: "A mission? Didn't we just finish dealing with an S-rank mystery?"

-

Qi Wu glanced at him: "That was before. Now there's a new mission, to solve an S-rank mystery."

"However, this time we're dealing with a ghost story that threatens the entire city; it's a top-tier ghost story even among S-class ghost stories."

Lu Xiao was stunned: "Huh? I'm going to fight these kinds of ghost stories?"

Qi Wu laughed and said, "Just give me the buffs, leave the fighting to me."

Lu Xiao quickly asked, "President, shall we set off now?"

Qi Wu took out his phone and glanced at the time: "Tomorrow morning then."

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; at least he was given a night to recover.

Otherwise, he couldn't handle having to deal with another S-rank ghost story right after finishing one.
