The agony of waiting is hard to describe. To describe it, it might be like being a frog who has to stay in warm water to be boiled. You obviously know that the environment is not right, but you don’t know when you will die. This kind of anxiety and fear always comes. The state of being with you all the time can easily drive people with poor psychological quality to slowly drive themselves crazy.
Wang Jiang just sat in the commander-in-chief's tent, looking calm and calm on the surface, with a stable aura. This attitude that could calm the military's morale at critical moments made everyone willing to believe that Yang'an was destined to see the light, so the official staff Working hard for this.
It has been more than an hour since Shen Lin left according to his plan. During this hour, Wang Jiang didn't do much, or he didn't know what else he could do.
The lives of millions of people in Yang'an, and the lives of all the official team members who trusted him and supported him, were weighing on Wang Jiang like a mountain. The huge pressure almost crushed him.
But it won't work, at least not yet. Yang'an has been under lockdown for almost five days.
A city that is completely cut off from the outside world is quite scary. The city's own reserves alone are not enough to feed and drink so many people. Now they can still use some high-sounding reasons to appease the people, but if this continues, sooner or later, riots will be a crisis. Sooner or later.
By that time, it will no longer be the evil spirits that destroy the entire Yang'an, but humans themselves.
At this stage, Yang'an cannot withstand any turmoil, and Wang Jiang cannot fall at this stage.
Today's Yang'an City is like a small boat rolling on the endless ocean. At this period, there can only be one helmsman at the helm, and no disagreements can arise. Once a dispute arises between the helmsmen, the ship will be destroyed. The ship is not far from silence.
When Shen Lin was there, Shen Lin was at the helm. When Shen Lin was away, it was Wang Jang. There couldn't be anyone else. It wasn't that no one had this ability anymore, but Yang An couldn't afford the gamble.
Wang Jiang just looked at the surveillance screen in front of him, trying to see more variables from this calmness like a pool of stagnant water.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding space began to change suddenly, and the gray-white space stuck in front of him, like an old-fashioned photo.
In the photo, Shen Lin, who was originally as big as a sesame seed, quickly grew in size as if the photo was flipping, until he walked out of the photo, carrying the unconscious Chu Jiu and Fu Qing, who still didn't understand the situation, and threw them to the ground.
He glanced around. Because it was a command tent, there were surprisingly many people. There must be at least thirty or forty people. Everyone had their own functions and areas of responsibility. Now, because of this weird situation, everyone looked at Shen Lin in horror. .
"Let them leave." Shen Lin said coldly.
The more complicated the situation, the harder it is to let most people know easily. There is no airtight wall in this world. With Yang'an's current critical situation, as long as Shen Lin dares to tell the truth in front of so many people, some people will dare to collapse on the spot and go crazy. You see, until panic swept through Yang'an.
The problem can definitely be solved, including allowing Wang Jiang to relocate to an empty tent where they can even stay and discuss comfortably.
But no, Shen Lin has no time, and Yang An has no time. Keeping everything simple is Shen Lin's only rule for all problems at the moment. Time is his life now, and he has no time to care about other people's feelings.
As long as you can survive, this little problem is not worth mentioning in the face of life.
Wang Jiang was stunned at first, and then quickly recovered. He didn't even have to ask Shen Lin why, and started to invite the people in the command tent out.
If this was a wartime situation, this situation would be tantamount to death, but it was different now.
The personnel were cleared quickly. Wang Jiang's core team had a high degree of execution and action. They moved together with some of their portable command equipment in less than three minutes.
When Wang Jiang saw the last person walking out of the tent, before he could turn around and speak, he saw Shen Lin slumped on the ground, breathing heavily, his body trembling slightly, and cold sweat covering his forehead, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Captain Shen, are you okay?"
After slightly easing the tension in his body and mind, Shen Lin stood up and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his clothes.
"Can't die."
He could feel that the ghost mother was about to revive. The excessive use of supernatural powers and the encounter with the terrifying ghost directly caused the stimulated ghost mother to lose control.
When the supernatural power to suppress himself became erratic, various negative states belonging to Shen Lin surged like a tide.
Since he entered the Huangquan Road incident half a month ago, he has been struggling repeatedly, and after leaving the Huangquan Road incident, he has been highly nervous because of the ghost fetus in the belly of the ghost mother. At the same time, he has to pay attention to finding a way to solve the big trouble in Yang'an.
After half a month of mental tension, Shen Lin never stopped. Both his mind and body should have reached their limits. If it weren't for the existence of the evil ghost, he might have gone insane or died.
But now, after the negative emotions that were temporarily suppressed by the Resentment Society mask have returned, they are like a spring that has bottomed out and rebounded so violently that it indirectly drives a negative chain reaction throughout the body.
With the ghost's resurgence, physical collapse, and mental torture, everything about Shen Lin seemed to be at its worst now.
What's worse is that he can't rest now, he has to race against time in such a troublesome state.
What a fucking world!
"To make a long story short, the plan ran into trouble. I met that ghost. The horror of that ghost was far beyond my imagination. Frankly speaking, I still can't understand what it is and what we will face. But the current situation is clear, we have to find a way to partially influence that ghost in order to gain a glimmer of hope for the entire Yang'an."
Shen Lin panted heavily and used every spare moment to rest.
Grinding a gun in the face of battle is nothing but unpleasant, even if these insignificant recoveries are equivalent to a joke to the ghost that envelopes Yang'an, it can also be regarded as a psychological comfort to himself.
Even if you have to die, you should die as comfortably as possible, right?
Wang Jiang only understood half of it, and he knew only half of the core of Li Gui. This involved the supernatural level. Even at the headquarters, it took a senior ghost controller to understand it. Li Gui's regular guidance and guessing was Shen Lin's permanent help in this terrifying recovery. A subject that is endless to learn.
A little knowledge of theoretical knowledge did not prevent Wang Jiang from understanding what they were about to encounter. With the current situation in Yang'an and the few words Shen Lin just said, he could guess part of it.
"Captain Shen, do you need us to do anything else?"
"I suspect that this ghost is attacking other terrorist incidents in Yang'an City because of the characteristics of the puzzle, the characteristics of the rules, or some unknown reasons. During my investigation, there have been nine recorded incidents in Yang'an City. Five items disappeared mysteriously, and what’s worse is that this ghost seems to have the ability to avoid the ghost realm, and my ghost realm cannot detect it, so now there is only one way.”
"Sit back and wait! We need at least three teams of people, distributed in the core areas of the three incidents. We must not only prevent ourselves from dying under the attack of the incident, but also persist in this situation until the evil ghost may arrive."
Except for the Huangquan Road incident, there is a one-third chance that this ghost could go anywhere.
The biggest trouble with this plan is that the ghost controllers participating in the plan cannot deal with the evil ghosts in the events where they are stationed. They have to survive the attacks of the evil ghosts and wait for the more terrifying ghost.
The execution of the plan is too demanding for ordinary people to complete this task. Even the ghost controllers are on the line of life and death in this environment. The ghost domain cannot play a role. They can only rely on word of mouth via satellite phone to stay in contact. This adds too much instability to the plan.
If this ghost is discovered, Shen Lin will use the ghost domain to rush there as soon as possible after receiving the notification. He will use the intersecting state of multiple white ghost candles to try to temporarily attract the attention of the ghost, so that Su Yonghe and others from the outside can take advantage of these. Time to drive down the stakes.
Shengzhuang's previous breakthrough in the ghost realm is enough to prove that as long as they completely drive down Shengzhuang, they can tear open the ghost realm that blocks Yang'an and escape.
The plan is very rough, and we can almost only rely on the execution ability of the ghost controllers in the plan to complete it all. But now Chen Lin in Yang'an can't ask for anything at all. He has neither supernatural items nor ghost ink coffin nails, and he himself is the same all over. It's so poor that it's not easy to have such a plan under such circumstances.
"The incident broke out very suddenly. There must be ghost masters who have not left in Yang'an now. Let Bao Ming go and take charge of this matter. Find a way to contact them, explain the situation clearly, and come as quickly as possible. Meet here.”
"Tell them that I will only give them one hour. After one hour, if they don't come here, I will open the ghost realm and kill them without hesitation."
The threatening words of a warlord dictatorship, but in this situation, without a more urgent threat, this group of people will not sacrifice their lives at all. Shen Lin does not mind being this evil person. Anyway, if this plan does not gather enough people, time will pass. However, the ghost mother revived. In addition to the ghost that enveloped Yang'an, Yang'an City also welcomed a brand new terrorist incident. The entire Yang'an was not far from being destroyed.
Either early death or late death is death, Shen Lin doesn't mind letting them die now.
Does Bao Ming want to go on this mission?
Of course not, the main reason why he came to Yang'an City and managed Yang'an like this, besides being a domestic dog trained by the headquarters, was that he was "cowardly".
I chose Yang'an City because it is close to Dajing City, has fewer risks and more enjoyment, and can also get support from Dajing City, so why not do it.
The reason why Yang Anzhi is like this is that he can lie down and never sit down. Since the blockade can give him a short period of silence, then why do he have to fight desperately to imprison the devil? He will be transferred back to Dajing City in a year or two. Even if trouble breaks out here, it will be the business of the next person in charge and has nothing to do with him.
So is Bao Ming going to perform this mission?
Of course I want to go. There is no need to hesitate about the multiple-choice question of whether to die now or in two days. Bao Ming heard countless rumors when he was at the headquarters. Shen Lin, the ghost of Daxia City, seemed to be innately unable to deal with the headquarters. I don’t know how many ghosts I’ve killed but I’m still safe.
Others may be a threat, but Shen Lin would really take action. Especially in the situation in Yang'an City, Bao Ming had no doubt whether Shen Lin would kill him.
Maybe Wang Jiang has some reputation in this area, maybe Shen Lin's threat has taken effect, or maybe the headquarters' residual power is still there.
All in all, the gathering of personnel went surprisingly smoothly.
In less than forty minutes, there were seven ghost masters including Bao Ming transported by vehicles and helicopters from all directions.
Two women and five men.
The five men are of different ages. The oldest is forty-five years old and the youngest is only nine years old.
Their respective styles look like migrant workers on construction sites, white-collar workers in overalls, college students and children.
The age gap between the two women is also very large.
The older one wears floral clothes, has a naughty appearance, and has a mole at the corner of his mouth, which fits the image of a matchmaker with a loose mouth conveyed in the TV series.
The younger one looked like a student, wearing a student pleated skirt. He was very beautiful and made the college students opposite him look at him several times.
"What do you think?"
With a population of several million, and the resurgence of terror intensifying, it is not unusual to have such a few ghost masters. It seems that because of the local relationship in Yang'an, they are relatively familiar with each other, and they started chatting soon after they got together.
"I don't know, but since I've been in contact with Captain Wang, this is the first time I've seen him react so strongly. I'm afraid Yang'an will be in a lot of trouble this time." Niu Junfeng, who looked like a migrant worker, took two puffs of his cigarette, his face full of melancholy, and there was a sign on his face. When I was young, I got hit by an evil spirit and died soon. Now the whole Yang'an City is like this. What kind of world is this?
"There must be trouble. Now let's see how true the intelligence they convey is. We can't rule out the idea of letting us take advantage of them and serve as cannon fodder for them. It's the usual method of the Ghost Controller Headquarters." Zhang Yumiao, who looked like a student, said. During the conversation, he was very disgusted with organizations like the Ghost Controller Headquarters.
"According to Captain Wang, this plan is led by Ghost Prime Shen Lin, one of the famous twelve captains from the Ghost Controller Headquarters. Are you familiar with this person?" Dong Guanfeng, who looked like a white-collar worker, asked.
Not all ghost controllers are strong and ruthless people. After becoming a ghost controller, they choose to continue to be an ordinary person because they have a clear understanding of their own abilities and abilities, or simply because they are timid, incompetent, etc. There are many cases of people quietly waiting for death.
This is the case for most of the people in front of me.
"I've heard a little bit about it. It's a big name, but I haven't learned about the specific situation in detail." Zhang, the matchmaker, took out a cigarette from Niu Migong's pocket and lit one too.
Birds of a feather flock together, and judging from the current desire of the headquarters for ghost controllers, those who have the ability or ambition have long been accepted by major organizations. Under such circumstances, who are the people who remain unknown in the local area? And know.
"Shen Lin, codenamed Ghost Xiang, is the person in charge of Daxia City and one of the twelve captains of the headquarters. According to rumors, he once single-handedly solved the S-class ghost epidemic that threatened Daxia that year. The true situation is unknown, but he can control so many ghost controllers across the country. Under such circumstances, he became one of the twelve people from the headquarters to reach the summit. There is no doubt about his ability." On the contrary, the nine-year-old child talked like a little adult. He was wearing a shrunken shirt and suit, and he was very well dressed. , coupled with the mature expression on his face, he doesn't look like a nine-year-old child at all. At least he is much different from the two naughty kids Xiong Wenwen and Chen Mo.
"Xiao Dingyi, where did you get this news?"
"When I registered at the Peace Building at the Ghost Controller Headquarters, I met a Ghost Controller from the headquarters and added me as a friend. I occasionally got some news about this circle from him."
