Chapter 293: Control in an Instant
In addition to the fan, Wang Xiaoming also picked another thing for Li Jun: it seemed to be a piece of dead wood, covered with deep wrinkles and twisted textures. However, at one end of the dead wood was connected to a palm. Obviously, this was not a dead wood at all, but an arm!
"You don't need anything else?"

"You can't bite off more than you can chew. Besides, Li Jun already has more than enough methods at his disposal. With the addition of the other three captains, if the Ghost Lake cannot be solved, then no matter how many supernatural items he has, it will be useless."

“I’m afraid I’ll be able to take it but not spend it.”

Wang Xiaoming smiled. He did not approach these supernatural objects. He just pointed at them from a distance. Li Jun was responsible for putting the fan and the arm into his pocket.

"As expected of Captain Cao, you are always generous and magnanimous."

Shen Lin still had a smile on his face. He did not give up and was still trying to get some information about Cao Yang.

"Captain Shen, you are joking. Every captain can call upon the supernatural items in the headquarters. I just put these things out for you to choose from."

Cao Yang put away the remaining items again. The human skin bag was still as full as before, as if it were a bottomless abyss.

"Here is all the information I have about Ghost Lake. Captains, please review it."

The next moment, several figures appeared out of nowhere in the conference room without any signs or warnings, and this time they once again bypassed Yang Jian's ghost eyes. Only Shen Lin present noticed the abnormality.

"The supernatural invading reality?"

However, before Shen Lin could think deeply, Li Jun beside him exclaimed:
"Are they all Cao Yang?"

Not bad.

Those people who appeared out of nowhere all looked exactly like Cao Yang, whether it was their appearance, demeanor, body shape or clothing, they were all exactly the same as Cao Yang who was sitting on the chair.

These Cao Yangs appeared briefly, and then instantly disappeared into the bodies of the four captains like shadows.

Suddenly, a memory that did not belong to them appeared in the minds of Yang Jian and Li Jun again, but this memory was all about the Ghost Lake incident. The information was quite rich, but the few people who obtained the memory could not be happy at all.

"There is no source ghost for this supernatural event. The ghost and the lake are a whole. Curse, invasion, learning and growth, any one of these abilities alone is enough to rival an A-level event."

Yang Jian broke the silence. The complexity of the Ghost Lake incident was beyond his imagination. However, considering the severity of the danger posed by the Ghost Lake, he had no choice but to go through it.

"Cao Yang, can you guarantee the authenticity of this information? Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you. If the information is true, then I'm afraid that none of you here can be sure of getting away with it."

As soon as Shen Lin said this, everyone's eyes turned to Cao Yang at the same time.

"It's completely true. There's absolutely no falsehood. There's no benefit for me in hiding the information. Besides, I was forced to withdraw from the incident because of my lack of ability. The headquarters has high hopes for you guys."

"The four captains working together are strong enough to overwhelm the starving ghost incident in Dachang City and the S-level incident in Daxia City."

Cao Yang remained calm. The intelligence was true, but the emphasis was different. The captain's goal was to deal with Ghost Lake, so he ignored the information about the lost ancient city.

"That's better. Otherwise, I'll definitely be the first to chop you down."

Yang Jian said threateningly, pointing his spear at the ground with a cold face. Shen Lin and Liu San also nodded, but Li Jun remained silent.

"Of course not. As everyone knows, I, Cao Yang, am the most trustworthy. Now that the supplies and supernatural items are in place, can you all prepare to set off?"

Facing the pressure from the three captains at the same time, Cao Yang was not afraid at all, because they were all colleagues and were on the same boat. First of all, he had a clear conscience.

Secondly, Yang Jian, Liu San and Shen Lin, the three of them combined are indeed the top existences in today's supernatural circle. Although Cao Yang is not absolutely sure of winning, he knows that if a fight really breaks out, he will definitely not be the one who dies.

"The four captains go back and rest first. Tomorrow the headquarters will have the operator contact you to leave for Zhongzhou City. What do you think?"

At this time, Cao Yanhua stood up and tried to smooth things over awkwardly. Although the current situation was not tense, a clash between the captains could kill many people if they were not careful. As the deputy minister, he had the obligation to avoid such conflicts as much as possible.

"I have no objection." After leaving these words, a red light flashed and Yang Jian left.

"Since this is an action organized by the headquarters, the time of the action will naturally be determined by the headquarters. I have no objection."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Lin's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"I don't care."

Liu San shrugged, opened his own ghost den and left. Only captains Cao Yang and Li Jun were left in the meeting room.

"Where is Wei Jing? I have something in my hand that I think is a good match for him. I can't control all the captains by myself. Li Jun and Wei Jing must also become stronger."

Cao Yang asked after several captains had completely left.

However, the next second, a thick darkness suddenly poured into the conference room, and then Wei Jing walked out of the darkness.

"Find me?"

His voice was cold and hoarse, and it sounded very uncomfortable.

"Deputy Minister, Professor Wang, you two should leave first. This supernatural object is the type that attacks indiscriminately. It would be bad if you were affected."

"I'll take you out."

A cold green light flashed by, and Li Jun had already left with the two of them.

"You stole the supernatural powers of the ghost messenger, but this theft is not thorough. You cannot restart in the ghost den, the level of the ghost den is not high, and you cannot increase your own suppression quota."

"You can say that you are a ghost messenger that has been frozen in time."

Wei Jing's expression was numb, and there wasn't a single trace of human emotion on his blackened face.

"So, what do you want to say?"

"Controlling this thing can make up for some of your weaknesses in the ghost den."

As he spoke, Cao Yang took out the black fire lantern from the human skin pocket.

The lantern released the curse the moment it was exposed, and Cao Yang's eye sockets were instantly dyed as black as ink, and his eyeballs and eye whites could no longer be distinguished.

"The black fire lantern, you can also call it the dark lantern or the darkness under the lamp. Anyone who sees the lantern will be deprived of their vision by the black flames. At the same time, the ghost imprisoned in the lampshade will follow the curse and invade other people's bodies."

"Control this thing, and you will become this lantern in the ghost den. Ghost messenger, don't look directly at it."

Wei Jing was also unambiguous. The curse of the lantern could not affect him, but it took up two of his suppression places, which also meant that what Cao Yang said was true.

"I understand."

Wei Jing stretched out a blackened, withered hand and took the lantern. The dark flames and the ghost in the lantern were suppressed instantly, and the curse could no longer be released.

"Then let it replace my heart."

"I am a ghost messenger, and my heart is burning."
