Chapter 286

In Zhongzhou City, the out-of-control Ghost Lake has completely submerged the city. Cao Yang immediately used the Ghost Cave to transfer all the residents to a faraway place. This time was enough for the headquarters to arrange for their escape.

The out-of-control lake water is still overflowing to the surrounding and even farther cities. A large amount of lake water containing supernatural powers is mixed with developed rivers and lakes, and flows to all parts of the country.

"It's not feasible to change the terrain to divert the lake water. The water of Ghost Lake doesn't exist in reality at all. Even if it invades reality, it is just a manifestation of the supernatural in reality. It is impossible to be blocked by real obstacles."

Cao Yang was standing on the rooftop of a building in Zhongzhou City. He couldn't stop the Ghost Lake from getting out of control, so he had to contact the headquarters in advance and ask them to add as many manpower as possible to deal with the impending large-scale outbreak of supernatural events.

This information was quickly transmitted back to the headquarters, but it was undoubtedly another heavy blow to Cao Yanhua, who was already in a heavy mood.

"Forget it. As for supernatural events, let the captain arrange and handle them. The headquarters just needs to cooperate with and implement Cao Yang's decisions."

Cao Yanhua took a long puff of his cigarette, and the cigarette he had just lit was reduced to half its original size, showing that he was also very worried.

"Even Cao Yang can't handle the Ghost Lake incident?"

Shen Liang stood next to Cao Yanhua, holding in his hand the file of the Guihu incident.

At this moment, Shen Liang took out a pen, silently crossed out the letter "A" on the file, and then wrote another letter next to it - S.

S-level, a destructive level supernatural event.

It has the ability to destroy the population of several cities, and if it cannot be contained, it can even destroy an entire country.

Normally, a captain-level ghost handler can easily handle most C-level and B-level supernatural events and imprison the source ghosts. Of course, the exception is the special ghosts that are less harmful but extremely terrifying.

When it comes to A-level supernatural incidents, the average captain may have to spend some effort and consume some resources, but in most cases it can be resolved, or it can be completely blocked and restricted. In short, this incident will no longer cause large-scale casualties.

As for those that cannot be handled by one captain, or even those that can only be dealt with by the joint efforts of multiple captains, they can basically all be classified as S-level events, and the current Ghost Lake incident is a case in point.

Moreover, among all the S-level supernatural events that have occurred, Ghost Lake ranks among the top in terms of both harmfulness and degree of terror, so much so that the headquarters now has to give up Zhongzhou City and choose to protect other places in the country.

"Update the intelligence on Ghost Lake to Professor Wang, and have him and Cao Yang recruit troops. We must minimize the impact of the Ghost Lake incident. The ghosts can be dealt with without being imprisoned, but we must not let more cities be abandoned because of Ghost Lake. The headquarters cannot afford this price."

"As for the rewards, the upper limit is 20 ghost candles and 10 surrogate dolls. There is no limit on other consumable supernatural props for the time being. As for supernatural items, every ghost rider involved in the incident can unconditionally requisition one item that has the ability to destroy the population of several cities. If it cannot be contained, it can even destroy a country. They can keep it forever."

Cao Yanhua put out the cigarette in his hand in a state of annoyance and threw it out of the window casually.

"The specific quota of materials will be subject to Cao Yang's opinions and suggestions."

Although Cao Yanhua is not a ghost rider, he is not a brainless person. Ghost candles and scapegoat dolls are consumables. In the face of truly terrifying events and ghosts, no matter how many of these consumables you have, they actually don't make much sense.

Whether the incident can be resolved or not, what is more important is whether the ghost rider has the ability and courage to make the final decision and turn the tide, or whether he has some special spiritual items that can bring the dead back to life and turn the tide.

"I understand. I will contact Professor Wang. Minister, please take care of your health and smoke less."

Shen Liang left after saying this. Now he was going to find Wang Xiaoming, the psychic expert who spent all day in the laboratory.

Like Cao Yanhua, these two people are a little sick. Shen Liang is very worried about their physical condition, but it is not convenient to say too much, so he can only mention it briefly. Zhongzhou City, Taiping Ancient Town, now there is no town. The cold lake water has flooded the doors of some old houses. Only the slightly larger ancestral hall is still struggling to support it, but you can barely see some eaves.

He Liansheng had a stern expression on his face, and so did Boss Liu beside him. On the ground in front of them lay a red coffin, with an old memorial tablet on top of it.

Looking closely, there was a photo of a young woman on the memorial tablet. She was none other than Captain Yin Zi, who had been missing from the headquarters for a long time.

"You can't summon spirits from the living, only the dead can."

He Liansheng gently stroked the wooden tablet and revealed the deepest secrets of the necromancer lineage.

"Is there no other way?"

Boss Liu had a look of reluctance on his face. He certainly understood what He Liansheng meant.

The appearance of a new necromancer means the death of the previous necromancer.

If He Liansheng wants to bring the woman in the coffin back to life, he must die on his own initiative, which is undoubtedly a cruel choice.

"You don't have to exchange your life for another. I have a way to let you continue to live in another form. Although you will lose the ability to summon spirits, at least you are still alive and can protect Yin Zi from some storms."

Cao Yang appeared beside him and said calmly.

As for the method of letting He Lian survive, it is very simple. Just kill him in the memory world, and then give this memory to a ghost slave, and the ghost slave will invade the reality through the memory.

But in this way, He Liansheng would become his own ghost slave, which has advantages and disadvantages. Of course, it also depends on his own choice.

"No need. I've lived for a long time. Although this life is not wonderful, and even a bit cowardly, I don't regret it. As for Yin'er, she is also the captain, right? That means there are ten more people as powerful as you in the headquarters. With you around, I believe Yin'er will live a good life."

Perhaps because he was at the end of his life, He Liansheng also became a little sentimental.

Just as he said, his life was ordinary. Even when he was in the ancient town of Taiping, he never cared about the nearby Zhongzhou City in the slightest, but always guarded the town and the ancestral hall.

And now, the faceless man Gu Li has made his own choice. He chooses to repay this debt with his life.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Maybe they were not good enough in the last era, but in modern times, any one of these people in the ancient town is comparable to an ordinary captain, but they chose to hide here.

"Okay, I respect your choice."

Cao Yang stopped talking and just watched He Liansheng hand a stick of incense to Boss Liu next to him. This incense is called soul-calling incense, which is the most precious spiritual item of the soul-calling lineage.

"It's time to wake up, Yin Zi. You will definitely live a more exciting life than me in the future. I hope you can make good use of your spiritual power and do something for this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Liansheng stretched out two fingers and inserted them directly into his eye sockets.
