Chapter 186 Taking Over the Headquarters
At the experimental center, several evil spirits that had become active again calmed down after struggling for several minutes.

This time it was truly peaceful.

"Since the experiment was successful, you should get down to business. The deputy minister has been very annoyed these past two days. You will be taking over the decision-making of the headquarters in the future. You might as well help him share some of the burden now."

Wang Xiaoming rubbed his sore eyes and said expressionlessly.

"Don't we need to observe for a while longer this time?"

In the isolation room, Cao Yang was tidying up his clothes. He felt so good right now. The multiple evil spirits in his body formed a closed-loop balance. There was almost no difference between rounding off and freezing. He didn't have to worry about the evil spirits reviving.

"No, if there was a problem it would have been exposed long ago. And with your current means, you are more than enough to deal with most of the troubles."

"Okay, I'll go first then."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Cao Yang's figure disappeared in an instant.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Enter."

Cao Yang pushed open the door and found that his uncle Cao Yanhua didn't look very good. It seemed that a lot had happened in the past two days.

"Minister Cao, I'm here to share your worries."

Seeing Cao Yang's playful look, Cao Yanhua's expression eased a little.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to share your worries. Professor Wang told me that a lot of things have happened recently."

"Well, you are the captain, so I should tell you these things. The main thing is that there was a supernatural incident codenamed 'suit ghost' on the island. Judging from the casualties of the Exorcist Society, the suit ghost is more terrifying than the knocking ghost, and more than ten core members of the Exorcist Society have died at the hands of the suit ghost."

Cao Yanhua lit a cigarette and was about to take a puff when he was stopped by Cao Yang.

"Are the trivial things in your life worth quitting smoking to relieve your worries?"

Cao Yang said with a smile that he knew that in the original novel Cao Yanhua eventually died of lung cancer. Even if this ending could not be changed, Cao Yang wanted to do something for him.

"President Mishima of the Exorcist Society died in an attack by a fierce ghost. The new president, Ichiro, is a complete idiot. He wants me to send a captain-level ghost hunter to help them. It's ridiculous."

Cao Yanhua said gritting his teeth.

"Yang Jian has already dealt with this group of people before. Admiring the strong is a characteristic ingrained in their nation, but Yang Jian's special identity probably left a shadow on them. So Ichiro is now targeting other captains at our headquarters."

"Oh? Interesting. The fact that Ichiro can become the president shows that he has some brains. Yang Jian alone is enough to crush all the so-called core members. As a senior executive, can't he see this gap?"

"Of course he knows, that's why he wants to tie a captain to the Exorcist's boat. No matter who goes there, whenever they are attacked by evil spirits, the captain will have to fight against them, and the Exorcist can reap the benefits. It's a good plan."

"So how did you respond to him?"

"What else can I say? I have never made the decision at the headquarters, and I can't make the decision for the captain, especially after the captain's plan was implemented, the headquarters has delegated power to the captain. As for the island country, let them worry about it themselves. Speaking of this, Professor Wang should have told you that some of our senior executives have decided to let you start taking over the decision-making and personnel arrangements of the headquarters. What do you think?"

Cao Yanhua suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Uncle, you can manage things, but you can't manage people. I can take over the headquarters, but I can only be behind the scenes. The decisions made will still be announced in your name and the headquarters' name."

Cao Yang thought about it and replied.

"That's natural. There are more and more ghost riders who only listen to orders and not propaganda. But we can't blame them. No one wants to die. Everyone wants to live. It's just that the headquarters has mastered some means to extend the lives of ghost riders, so they are willing to keep them. When the headquarters completely loses its value one day, or the ghost riders are no longer worried about the revival of evil spirits, the headquarters will be shit in their eyes and worthless." "Then in your opinion, how should we deal with the island country's request for help? I heard that the entire Kobe city has completely become a dead city, and the nearby Kyoto city has also suffered heavy casualties. Even Osaka City, where the Exorcist Society is located, has fallen for the most part..."

Cao Yanhua's tone was a little worried. Although he was very reluctant to deal with people like Ichiro, if he continued like this, it was only a matter of time before the entire island country was slaughtered by those suit-wearing ghosts.

Under the nest, the eggs are finished.

The two countries of Silla and Goryeo next to the island country have no fighting power at all, but there are few people in that area, and the frequency of supernatural events is much lower, which is still within the controllable range. But if the suit ghost spreads to these two countries, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

"Just be perfunctory for now. If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him mad. That Ichiro is so confident, so let the Exorcist Society hold on for a while. When the moment comes when life and death become a problem, it will be useless for him to evade reality."

Cao Yang frowned slightly and didn't want to discuss this issue too much.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Cao Yanhua nodded. He was not surprised by Cao Yang's reaction.

"Didi——!"

At this time, Cao Yang's satellite phone suddenly rang. It was Wang Xiaoming calling.

"I need to discuss something with you. If you have time, please come over."

"Got it. I'll be there later."

The conversation between the two was very simple but efficient. They talked about the matter if there was something to talk about, and did not contact each other if there was nothing to talk about.

"Except for the island countries, the situation in China is not that good. There are more and more supernatural incidents, and they are becoming more and more difficult to solve. The general person in charge can no longer handle an incident alone. The supply of ghost candles can no longer meet the needs of the persons in charge."

"Later I'll have Shen Liang compile a file for you on recent supernatural events and the people currently in charge. Think carefully about how to staff those events. The headquarters will prepare the remuneration."

Cao Yanhua waved his hand, signaling Cao Yang to go to Wang Xiaoming first. Cao Yang did not pretend, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Wait, Cao Yang!"

Shen Liang's voice suddenly came, and he was about to leave using the ghost cave. After hearing the voice, he instantly appeared beside Shen Liang and scared him.

"Captain Shen, what's up?"

Cao Yang asked.

Unexpectedly, Shen Liang came over mysteriously and whispered:

"These are the three derivative ghost paintings specially approved by Minister Cao. They were not prepared last time, so this time he asked me to personally deliver them to Captain Cao."

As he spoke, Shen Liang handed over four suitcases, which obviously contained more than just three ghost paintings.

"Captain Shen, this...?"

"The deputy minister said that you have been very hardworking and diligent in finalizing the personnel for solving the supernatural incidents. This is an advance payment for your hard work. Giving some of the supplies to the captain may help them to play a greater role."

"I see. Then I'll trouble Captain Shen to make this trip in person."

Cao Yang took the box and disappeared again.
