Chapter 178 New ideas
"So fast?!"

Shen Liang's voice came from the other end of the phone. Obviously he was also in the switchboard room, but I didn't know if he had been waiting or just happened to pass by.

"I am the captain after all. If I have to spend time, effort and fight hard to kill a little devil, then I am not worthy of the title of captain. If the news gets out, I am afraid that others will laugh at me."

"Forget it, no more words, Captain Shen, remember to pay me the overtime pay. I don't want to be greedy, just help me build a safe house at headquarters."

Hearing this, Shen Liang was startled at first, and his expression instantly became a little awkward.

"What, is there a problem?"

Cao Yang's nonchalant voice came from the phone.

"This... I will report this to the deputy minister. If he agrees, it will be fine."

After saying that, Shen Liang quickly hung up the phone, fearing that Cao Yang would make any more requests.

"This guy is really bold. When he first took office, the deputy minister approved a large amount of gold to gild his office in Otsu City. Now he wants a safe house. He is really rude."

Of course he didn't dare say such words to his face, not even over the phone. Although Cao Yang seemed easy-going and mentally normal, he was a ghost rider after all, and no one knew which of his words would make the other party go berserk.

"It's been a day, and the horror level of the haunted house is still too high. In my opinion, it's conservative to raise it to A level."

Cao Yang patrolled around the haunted house for another half an hour, making sure that no stalking ghosts or other evil spirits appeared again before he left.

But what Cao Yang didn't know was that on the stairs inside the haunted house, a somewhat blurry and unreal figure was still standing there, motionless, as if waiting for the next person to walk up the stairs.

"Let's go check on Wang Xiaoming. He has all three of my ghosts. Given his personality, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause."

Cao Yang flashed, activated the gravity ghost den and rushed towards the experimental center.

A few minutes later, at the experimental center.

"How did you come?"

Wang Xiaoming didn't look up. There were not many people who had the authority to find this place, and Cao Yang was one of them.

"Of course I'm worried that you'll use my ghost to kill me."

Cao Yang picked up a chair and sat down casually.

"Not yet, but shouldn't you explain your current situation? Perhaps it will help with the plan I proposed earlier."

Wang Xiaoming turned around with a small mirror in his hand.

But this is not the point. The point is that Cao Yang discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with his eyes. To be more precise, his vision was affected. Otherwise, why would he see double when he looked at himself in the mirror?
Cao Yang rubbed his eyes violently, but the result remained the same.

"It's not a problem with the eyes, it's a spiritual influence. Are you about to be resurrected as a ghost?"

Wang Xiaoming said calmly that not only Cao Yang, he also saw this abnormality, it was indeed double vision, two blurred outlines appeared on Cao Yang's body, like shadows, and the word "double vision" was very appropriate to describe it.

"Are you cursing me or are you worried about me?"

Cao Yang said unhappily, but he also understood that this was due to the influence of controlling the tracking ghost. The specific manifestation was that others would see double images of him, as if they were dazzled. "Of course I'm worried. I said I would push you to that position, so you can't die here at this time."

"I heard that you went to a haunted house in the suburbs before you came here, and encountered some supernatural events. Is it that ghost's supernatural power that is affecting you? No, that's not right. Since you are here, it means that the ghost has been imprisoned by you. Although it is possible that there will be some sequelae, but..."

Wang Xiaoming seemed to be asking questions, or answering his own questions, and Cao Yang didn't know how to interrupt for a while.

"So, you controlled the ghost?"

Cao Yang had a blank expression on his face. He neither admitted it nor denied it.

"Can you tell me about that ghost? You were right before. It's very risky to control a relatively complete ghost. So, I'm thinking about the possibility of sharing the burden, or controlling it together."

Cao Yang's reaction was within his expectations. Silence was the best answer.

"I codenamed it Tracking Ghost."

While speaking, Cao Yang quietly opened the Gravity Ghost Den. The laboratory was filled with the most advanced surveillance cameras, and he didn't want his information to be leaked in such a simple way.

"Tracking ghosts, that's interesting. Are you tracking the ghost, or is the ghost tracking you?"

"Both. Tracking ghosts are a kind of idealistic existence. It is difficult to deal with. Ordinary people can't detect it at all. You can only come into contact with it if the ghost is strong enough, or the ghost actively invades reality through a medium."

"To put it simply, this ghost is a supernatural phenomenon. Once the pattern is triggered, the ghost will construct a 'self' in front of you and behind you, and transfer all of your consciousness and perception to those two 'selves', making you feel like you are being followed, and at the same time you are following others."

"I guess the medium of this ghost is the body of a human or a ghost. I was also fooled at that time, but you know my body, which can be regarded as a container for imprisoning evil spirits. So..."

Cao Yang didn't say anything else. He believed that Wang Xiaoming could understand what he meant.

"Interesting, I think I have some idea. This ghost may become a very important link. Wait for my good news."

Wang Xiaoming seemed to be deep in thought. Apparently the existence of the tracking ghost had given him a new idea.

"Oh, right, I've figured out the rules and abilities of photo ghosts. Some of my previous guesses were correct. The interior of the photo is a special kind of ghost den. Through some special means, real things, even ghosts, can appear in the photo without affecting any of its effects."

"Give me one more day. I need to conduct multiple experiments to verify some of my ideas. By the way, if you still have a ghost with a ghost cave, you can send it to me. The ghost cave has natural restrictions on other ghosts, and I am short of this thing."

Wang Xiaoming picked up a small notebook and wrote down the inspiration and thoughts that just came to his mind, while also explaining it to Cao Yang.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time, seeing that you have such a burst of inspiration and a sincere attitude. When we were purging those scumbags in our circle of friends, there was a guy named Xie Qing. The ghost he controlled was codenamed Hopscotch, and it was a very special kind of ghost."

"I have provided four ghosts, and you only provided one. I have kept them all in mind. If anything goes wrong, you must tell me in advance. The four ghosts invested in you are all real good stuff."

"It's no exaggeration to say that with these four ghosts, we can create another captain."

Cao Yang sat on the chair and warned Wang Xiaoming earnestly.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."
