Chapter 291 Headquarters Power

"Cao Yang?"

Yang Jian's expression froze. In his impression, Cao Yang was as mysterious as most other captains and never showed his true colors.

However, Cao Yang's ability was beyond doubt as he was selected as the captain by the headquarters. Although Yang Jian suspected that Cao Yang was a relative, Cao Yang was worthy of the title of captain, whether it was clearing out his circle of friends or forcefully suppressing the invaders at a critical moment in Dachang City.

"Cao Yang, you're back?"

Li Jun had heavy, lifeless makeup on his face, and his voice was hoarse and dry, as if his vocal cords were burned.

He and Cao Yang have a pretty good relationship. He even went to the rescue on the day Cao Yang just became a ghost rider. They have collaborated several times since then, and the two have always maintained a good relationship.

"Naturally, the negotiations must be conducted by ghost riders. Ordinary people will never understand the dangers of supernatural events."

Cao Yang smiled, found a chair at random and sat opposite Yang Jian.

"Captain Yang, I will reimburse you for your overtime pay on the spot. Deputy Minister, I think you have no objection to this."

"Of course, this is what Yang Jian deserves. The headquarters will not withhold the captain's supplies."

Cao Yanhua paused and gestured, signaling two staff members to go and get another batch of supplies.

Soon, two more suitcases were brought in. However, this time Yang Jian did not open the suitcases, but took them casually. He did not intend to inspect the goods, because the headquarters would not joke about such things.

"Now we can get down to business."

Yang Jian spread his hands, and the spear that he had casually placed beside him at some point stood upright.

"It's definitely not a simple matter that can trouble Captain Yang."

Cao Yang took the file from Wang Xiaoming and handed it to Yang Jian opposite him. On the cover of the file were written a few big words:

"Ghost Lake Incident"

"I won't go into too much detail. The Ghost Lake incident had a huge impact. According to the intelligence obtained by the headquarters, the Dachang City you are in charge of should also have been greatly affected."

"From DQ City and Dachuan City to Dachang City and Dahang City, the out-of-control ghost lake has affected almost half of the country, and the number of cities and people affected is countless."

"So, the headquarters urgently needs to resolve this incident. And you have the nail in your coffin, the ability and strength to make the final decision. I think you should have no objection to being the best choice."

Cao Yang said in a serious tone that he did steal the supernatural power of Ghost Lake, but he did not have the ability to completely solve the problem of Ghost Lake. Ghosts with the ability to grow and learn were already unsolvable.

Therefore, the headquarters had to recruit captains. Only when captain-level ghost riders joined forces could there be a possibility of resolving the incident.

"Where's the intelligence? Do you want me to risk my life just by telling you about the danger? My Dachang City has indeed been affected, but at worst I can use the ghost den to relocate the entire city. This ghost lake doesn't have to be solved by me."

Yang Jian said expressionlessly that anyway, he only had the title of captain in the headquarters. In fact, apart from forming a team and recruiting teammates, he did not enjoy any power of the captain. Naturally, there was no need for him to run around to solve incidents for the headquarters.

"To be honest, I just got out of the Ghost Lake incident. This is definitely a genuine S-level incident." "To put it simply, you can think of the Ghost Lake as a trash can. The evil spirits were thrown into the trash can as trash. The water in the Ghost Lake has the power to suppress the spirits. The ghosts that enter the lake cannot get rid of the suppression and will be trapped in the Ghost Lake and unable to leave."

"But the capacity of the trash can is limited. After decades of accumulation, the trash can is now full, and the lake water and garbage are overflowing. The overflowing water and ghosts invade reality, so paranormal events occur in various places."

Yang Jian's heart trembled. Although Cao Yang said it lightly, he still keenly captured the key information.

First of all, the Ghost Lake existed decades ago or even earlier, and was used to suppress evil spirits. But this suppression had its limits, and now, this limit has been broken.

After decades of accumulation, how many ghosts have been suppressed in the Ghost Lake?
I'm afraid it's impossible to count them all.

Yang Jian realized the seriousness of the problem instantly. It was true that he had coffin nails in his hand, but in a sense, coffin nails were also consumables. After all, they could only nail down one ghost at a time.

"Besides me, which other captain was involved in this incident?"

"I can't reveal this for now. If you are sure you want to participate, I can tell you. After all, each captain is involved in too many cities and people. The headquarters is under great pressure to recruit multiple captains at once."

Cao Yanhua said.

"You seem to be asking for my opinion, but in fact you have already determined that I will choose to participate for the sake of Dachang City. Rather than being pressed by you, I might as well speak out on my own initiative."

Yang Jian remained calm, in fact he did think about withdrawing from the Ghost Lake incident. He had just returned from that dangerous old house and had not had much rest yet. He did not want to get involved in another S-level incident so soon.

But judging from Cao Yang's reaction, it is obvious that he can't rely on others. Not everyone has the ability to make something of the level of a coffin nail. It seems that in the end he can only rely on himself.

Yang Jian accepted the ghost candle and the scapegoat doll without hesitation. Although these things were completely meaningless in the face of a supernatural being like Ghost Lake, they were still quite useful for other members of the team.

"If there are any good things left, you should bring them out as soon as possible. Resources can only be put to good use in the hands of the right people. The headquarters probably doesn't want those supernatural items to be hidden forever."

"Of course. Regarding the Ghost Lake incident, the captains involved can freely requisition the supernatural items from the headquarters without any restrictions. Regardless of whether the incident is resolved or not, you can keep those items permanently and do not have to return them."

It was Cao Yang who was speaking, but Yang Jian noticed something unusual. In the past, Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming were the ones who presided over the negotiations, but this time it was Cao Yang who was talking the whole time. Whether it was in terms of intelligence or material distribution, it was Cao Yang who was making the decisions.

What is even more bizarre is that both Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming remained silent tacitly this time and did not say anything because of Cao Yang's generosity.

"Interesting, it seems that Cao Yang should be the person in power that the headquarters has cultivated with all its efforts. But this is a good thing, ordinary people are not on the same level as ghost riders, and they will never be able to truly understand ghost riders."

"Now there is a captain making decisions behind the scenes, and many times the deployment of personnel and material supply are obviously much more reasonable."

Although Yang Jian saw it, he did not point it out. To be honest, compared with Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming, he would rather deal with Cao Yang.

Everyone has crawled out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses, so they speak directly and directly without beating around the bush, nor are they calculating like Wang Xiaoming.

"Okay, I agree."

"So, now can you tell me the person who is responsible for this incident?"
