Chapter 10 Special Meeting
On the suburban highway, a convoy of three specially made vehicles was traveling.

Wang Xiaoming, who was originally preparing to ask about Wei Jing's situation, received a new notice. He could only assign the task to his experimenters and leave the experimental base with Cao Yang.

They took a special vehicle to a forest surrounded by barbed wire. There were guards guarding and checking at every intersection.

This is the Interpol Asia headquarters, the most powerful ghost-controlling force in all of Asia.

After entering the headquarters, the two came to a conference room where a number of people had already gathered, all of whom were bigwigs who could be seen on TV.

Wang Xiaoming found an empty seat and sat down, while Cao Yang stood behind him. The meeting had not started yet and not all the people had arrived, but people kept coming in.

Cao Yang suddenly felt nervous as he watched more and more bigwigs gather in the conference room. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Professor, something is wrong with this situation. Doesn't it look like it's because of Wei Jing's spiritual resurrection?"

"As for Li Jun, he shouldn't have done that. He just damaged a supernatural item. At least he got a powerful ghost rider in return. It's not a loss."

Wang Xiaoming looked at the scene in front of him and he also felt that something was wrong. If it was just Wei Jing's spiritual resurrection, he could just be handed over to the experimental base, why would these people be alarmed.

As for Li Jun's control of the will-o'-the-wisp, it doesn't require such a big deal. At most, the experimental base will hold a seminar to study the conditions required for Li Jun to control the will-o'-the-wisp, and whether it has reference value for others who control a second evil ghost. All the ghost riders who accidentally controlled two evil ghosts in the past did so in this way.

Even when Fang Shiming, who was controlling three evil spirits, appeared in the circle of friends some time ago, the headquarters did not react so greatly.

Now it seems that the truth has been revealed.

"So if we rule out the impossible, there is only one explanation. There is something wrong with the source of the Yellow Sand Ghost. This problem may be the appearance of a new S-level ghost, or there may be information that the headquarters must pay attention to."

Wang Xiaoming quickly deduced his answer. There might be mistakes or omissions, but it didn’t matter. After all, the truth would be known soon. He was just thinking out of habit.

"Don't think too much, you'll know when the meeting starts." Wang Xiaoming leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing that he didn't get anything out of his questions, Cao Yang decided to just quietly be his bodyguard. If the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. He was Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard, and his only responsibility was to protect Wang Xiaoming's safety.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone arrived. With the start of the meeting, the lights suddenly went out and the projector turned on.

At the same time, a voice came from the speakers, "Don't panic, everyone. Next, we will show you some videos of the Longmen Town operation. These videos have been tested by specialized personnel and have no supernatural hazards. Please feel free to watch them."

As soon as the words fell, pictures appeared on the white cloth in front of everyone.

It all started from Wei Jing's arrival at Friendship Park, from entering the underground cave, encountering the sand sculpture ghost slave, entering the bronze lamp passage, meeting Li Jun, and finally escaping from the ghost domain of the man in the suit.

What’s strange is that this video has no sound, just like a pantomime from the last century.

Then there was another video, still without sound, but this time the protagonist was Li Jun. It also started from Friendship Park. He was seen walking into the underground cave with a ghost lantern. Because there was always a lantern ghost domain, he did not meet the sand sculpture ghost slave.

Everything was normal until he entered the passage. When he saw the statue holding a bronze lamp, Li Jun was very cautious and did not do anything out of the ordinary. Until he discovered that a statue was missing from a section of the passage and there was only an extinguished bronze lamp lying on the ground.

From the video, we can see that there is a sharp spike at the bottom of the bronze lamp, but because it has been stuck on the statue's hands for too long, it is covered with stains and the original color cannot be seen.

At this time, Li Jun was already looking around vigilantly, and everyone in the conference room also guessed that the statue might be an evil spirit, and the bronze lamp was an instrument to imprison the evil spirit.

But if there are evil spirits in the statues, then how many statues are there in this passage? How many evil spirits are there?
If all the evil spirits escaped, they would have no idea how to deal with it.

“No wonder the headquarters has to hold a general meeting. If this supernatural incident gets out of control, the current headquarters will not be able to handle it.” Everyone in the meeting room thought to themselves.

The projected video was still going on. Li Jun didn't notice anything unusual and continued to explore forward. He was really brave.

As Li Jun continued to move forward, everyone realized that the passage had an end. At the end of the passage was a huge stone door, but this stone door was very strange. There was actually a human face appearing on it, and it was still swimming.

This stone gate is alive...

Just when Li Jun wanted to get closer to check, the stone gate seemed to have discovered Li Jun in the ghost realm, and the face on the door opened its mouth wide and seemed to let out a shrill scream.

Although the video itself has no sound, everyone can guess what is going on by looking at the situation. Besides, there are subtitles above the video to provide explanations.

The ghost domain of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern was broken in an instant, and then a man in a suit appeared out of thin air, stretching out his dark ghost hand towards Li Jun.

The scene was shaking, and Li Jun began to dodge. At the critical moment, he used the ghost domain again, but the man in the suit actually walked into the ghost domain. Finally, Li Jun used the ghost fire lantern to block the attack of the evil ghost.

Then the picture began to blur and the video automatically stopped recording. Judging from Wei Jing's video, it should be the attack of the man in the suit that knocked over the will-o'-the-wisp, and then the leaked will-o'-the-wisp caused both sides to fall into a dormant confrontation.

After the video was finished, the lights in the conference room were turned on again. Wang Xiaoming looked around and found that everyone had a solemn look on their faces. It seemed that these two videos brought a lot of pressure to everyone.

However, the video did not solve all the doubts, but made everyone more confused. Who is the man in the suit? Is there a ghost sealed in the statue? What is behind the stone door?
"Hello, professors and colleagues." A man sitting in the front of the conference room walked to the front of the stage. "I'm Zhao Jianguo, and everyone should know me, so I won't waste any more words."

"After watching the video, everyone must have a lot of questions. I will explain them one by one. First of all, the man in a suit who appeared in the Longmen Town incident has been confirmed to be the ghost rider Zhuang Hui from the circle of friends."

"According to the information submitted by the friends circle, we can know that Zhuang Hui is a ghost rider who controls two evil ghosts, codenamed Ghost Hand."

"According to Skynet information, we learned that he arrived at Longmen Town on the second day after the mirage appeared. Zhuang Hui then began to search in Longmen Town. On the seventh day after the mirage appeared, Zhuang Hui disappeared and the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain appeared. So we can be sure that the appearance of the Yellow Sand Ghost was caused by Zhuang Hui's sneaking into the underground space."

"As for Zhuang Hui attacking the head of the headquarters, we can judge from his condition that the real Zhuang Hui is dead, and the one occupying his body now should be a fierce ghost."

"As for the statues in the underground passage, headquarters has already sent people to investigate and confirmed... that all the statues contain evil spirits."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and some people stood up and questioned the authenticity of the matter.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. I know this is a little unbelievable, but this is the fact." Zhao Jianguo pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to calm down.

"In view of the dangerous nature of this supernatural incident, the headquarters has decided to seal the Longmen Town incident indefinitely and impose military control on the surrounding area."

"Don't worry too much, headquarters has confirmed that the detention measures in the underground passage are very effective. As long as nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any major problems."

After hearing Zhao Jianguo's speech, the most excited people in the conference room sat back in their seats. It was no wonder they were so excited. The number of evil spirits in the passage was really too terrifying.

After seeing that the conference room had returned to calm, Zhao Jianguo took out the projector remote control and turned on the projection again. Although there was some light interference, it did not prevent everyone from seeing the picture clearly.

"During this operation, we captured some precious pictures." Zhao Jianguo stopped the picture on a statue holding a bronze lamp in both hands.

"Our history expert Professor Bai has identified that the costumes of this statue are those of the ancient Sha ethnic group in my country, which existed between the late Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty, about a thousand years ago."

"Historically, this was an era of chaos that lasted for hundreds of years. Now it seems very likely that it was caused by the resurrection of the supernatural."

After Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, he pointed to Professor Bai in the meeting and introduced him, "Professor Bai is an expert in history research and is currently working at the training base. We urgently consulted many domestic experts in history research afterwards, and they all came to the same conclusion as Professor Bai."

"So the discovery of this underground passage makes us more certain that supernatural events did not start to break out in modern times."

"Let me interrupt for a moment." Someone raised a question at this time, "Even if we know that supernatural events happened in ancient times, what does this mean to us now?"

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone fell into deep thought. Wang Xiaoming recalled himself before awakening his wisdom. At that time, he did not care about the history of supernatural revival, and believed that even if he understood it, it would not be meaningful to the current supernatural revival.

But he is different after awakening his innate wisdom. He is now interested in history. Studying history not only allows him to gain lessons from history, but also involves the role he needs to play as an archaeologist in Sequence Eight of the Craftsman Path.

"Understanding how people in ancient times dealt with the supernatural will not have an impact on the present," Professor Bai said as he stood up. "But understanding the history of ancient supernatural phenomena and summarizing history can help us find the patterns of supernatural outbreaks and even the sources of supernatural events. Perhaps the solution to supernatural events is hidden in them."

After Professor Bai's speech, no one objected. It was not because everyone was convinced, but because no one cared. The question just asked was just a routine matter.

In fact, Wang Xiaoming had long noticed that people in this world did not attach importance to history. Although the history of this world was roughly the same as that of his previous life, these were only superficial, and the core of history had long been different.

Some historical celebrities have disappeared, and some historical figures have appeared, making the world unrecognizable.

Of course, the main reason is the revival of the supernatural, because the revival of the supernatural caused this parallel world to go in another direction.

Seeing this scene, in order to make everyone pay attention to this aspect, Wang Xiaoming took the initiative to stand up and agree:
"Professor Bai said it very well. If you want to solve the supernatural, you must understand it. Collecting supernatural events in history and summarizing them is a feasible way to solve the problem of supernatural revival."

Unlike Professor Bai, Wang Xiaoming has a very high status in the headquarters, as can be seen from the fact that the headquarters specially sent a ghost rider to protect him. So after Wang Xiaoming clearly supported Professor Bai's point of view, applause broke out in the conference room.

Although it’s not much, it’s much better than the dull silence just now.

"What Professor Wang and Professor Bai said is very good. This is also the main reason why we established the supernatural history research project. Does anyone have any other questions?" Zhao Jianguo ended the topic.

"I want to know whether the headquarters has any corresponding punishment measures for the Longmen Town incident caused by Zhuang Hui in the circle of friends?" someone asked.

"Well..." Zhao Jianguo paused before saying, "We have also investigated Zhuang Hui's matter. His circle of friends was indeed unaware of it. This was Zhuang Hui's own action."

"Okay, even if it was Zhuang Hui's personal action," the man asked again, "but this supernatural incident is no longer something that Zhuang Hui can handle alone."

"My opinion is... since the circle of friends has recruited the ghost rider, then the circle of friends must bear corresponding responsibilities for the things that the ghost rider has done."
