Chapter 110 Plan
In the command room of the Ming Tombs,
Several people were sitting at a round table, including Xie Zhongquan and Zhao Jianguo. This place was too close to Dajing City, and if something really went wrong, neither of them could take the responsibility.
Xie Zhongquan sat in the first seat. He looked at Zhao Jianguo next to him and spoke first:
"This supernatural incident is difficult to handle. Jianguo, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhao Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has seen examples of supernatural places appearing in the world. It is very likely that a large number of supernatural ghosts will appear. In order to prevent these ghosts from harming the surrounding areas, I think we must summon some of the ghost masters in the headquarters to encircle and suppress the supernatural places here."
As soon as Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, someone objected:
"Gathering ghost riders to suppress the supernatural places is too ridiculous. Let's not talk about what to do if supernatural incidents occur in the local area after the ghost riders are drawn from various places. Even if we really gather the ghost riders from the headquarters, there is no guarantee that the supernatural places here can be properly dealt with."
However, where there is opposition, there is agreement. Cao Yanhua from the Operations Department agreed:
“In fact, we don’t need to mobilize too many ghost handlers. Now we have the related props such as the supernatural gunpowder and supernatural smoke oil developed by Professor Wang Xiaoming. Our ordinary soldiers can also imprison and seal some supernatural ghosts.
All we need is some elite ghost hunters to lead the way, supplemented by soldiers equipped with supernatural gunpowder weapons, to resolve this supernatural incident.
We can't always look at the present with old ideas. You should all know the result of the action in Southeast Asia's Xiaoyue Kingdom. The current strength of our headquarters has far surpassed that of the past."
After Cao Yanhua finished speaking, the command room fell silent.
"What Yanhua said is right, but there are still some risks." Xie Zhongquan interrupted the silence in the command room, "It is best to ask Mr. Qin to take action, so that it is safe."
"Mr. Qin has refused to take action," Zhao Jianguo shook his head and said, "I mentioned this matter to him this morning."
"Refuse? Why?"
"He said the headquarters has the ability to handle this matter and does not need his help."
Everyone in the command room looked at each other, and Xie Zhongquan turned to look at the person sitting down.
The man suddenly spoke up: "Since Mr. Qin is not taking action, I suggest adding an insurance policy to this operation. After all, this is the capital, and no one can afford to take the consequences if something goes wrong."
"Well...what insurance?" Xie Zhongquan asked.
"Invite your friends to participate in this operation. As the largest civilian ghost-controlling organization, they have no fewer ghost-controlling members, which can make up for the lack of ghost-controlling members we have."
Xie Zhongquan nodded slightly, then looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Jianguo thought about it and felt that what the other party said was right. It would be safer to have more manpower, so he did not object.
Soon, under the leadership of Xie Zhongquan, everyone discussed and came up with a preliminary plan.
In the headquarters laboratory,
Wang Xiaoming also successfully conducted archaeological excavations on the four cultural relics sent by the museum, obtained information images from them, and guessed their related abilities.
Among them, the Tang Sancai figurine from the Tang Dynasty has the ability to transfer damage. As long as blood is dripped on the figurine, the damage suffered by the ghost rider can be transferred to the Tang Sancai figurine.
The thin-necked white porcelain bottle from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period is a container that can hold special liquids related to supernatural spirits. Unfortunately, it has now lost its supernatural powers and can only hold ordinary water. From the Three Kingdoms period is a flag the size of an adult's arm, which has the ability to temporarily control supernatural spirits.
The last one is a cloud-patterned brocade bag from the Han Dynasty, which can drive away nearby evil spirits. In the historical scene, Wang Xiaoming saw a woman wearing the brocade bag passing in front of an evil spirit, and the evil spirit avoided the woman as if it could not see her.
Looking at the four ineffective supernatural items in front of him, Wang Xiaoming just felt it was a pity. It would be great if he could remake these ineffective supernatural items.
After putting the items back in place, Wang Xiaoming began his daily experiments to create special props with supernatural powers.
First, special spiritual materials are processed and turned into spellcasting materials, and then methods are used to reinforce these spellcasting materials onto objects that match the abilities of the evil spirits.
Finally, he injected the power of evil spirits into these processed objects until he felt that these objects were about to burst by the supernatural power.
Picking up the schoolbag in front of him, Wang Xiaoming first inspected it to make sure there was no problem, then reached out to open the zipper and put his hand into the backpack to feel around. The space was very large, at least he couldn't feel the size of the space inside.
However, this is still a failed product, because the information he obtained during the appraisal was that the supernatural power on the backpack can only last for a week. After that time, the backpack will be completely eroded by the supernatural power.
Wang Xiaoming's expression did not change. He casually threw his schoolbag on the table beside him, took out a new backpack from under his feet, and began to repeat the experiment.
By summing up his experience through continuous failures, Wang Xiaoming believes that he can definitely create supernatural items similar to those he has seen in historical scenes.
He knew that his current failure was not due to his own lack of ability, but because the evil spirits they controlled were different. The evil spirits controlled by these ancient ghost controllers were special and had the ability to create supernatural objects. These creations were more like supernatural derivatives than supernatural objects.
Just like Zhang Bohua who opened a Chinese medicine shop among the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, the medicine in his hand that can suppress supernatural resurrection was produced by an evil spirit, and it relies on the evil spirit's own special abilities.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming decided to control a ghost that could create supernatural derivatives in order to study the relationship between supernatural derivatives and supernatural ghosts.
There are not many evil spirits that possess supernatural derivatives, but as the chief expert of the headquarters and a man who often visits Warehouse No. 1, Wang Xiaoming is no stranger to this kind of evil spirit. Some special supernatural materials produced by the headquarters are extracted from this kind of evil spirit.
The two evil ghosts, the fantasy iron box and the red tie, used in the experiment of producing supernatural gunpowder, can both be classified into this category of evil ghosts.
However, Wang Xiaoming's target is not those evil spirits whose abilities have been discovered by the headquarters, but those evil spirits hidden deep in Warehouse No. 1 whose special functions have not yet been discovered by the headquarters.
These days in Warehouse No. 1, he has written down the information of all the evil spirits he has identified and knows a lot of interesting supernatural evil spirits.
Wang Xiaoming plans to turn all the evil spirits that he is interested in into supernatural weapons after he is promoted to Sequence Six.
In his deduction, the potion digestion task of the Sequence Six craftsmen is to create extraordinary weapons. In this world, supernatural weapons are equivalent to extraordinary weapons.
Making these supernatural ghosts into weapons can not only digest magic potions, but also help clear the inventory of Warehouse No. 1 in disguise, reducing their work pressure. The forged supernatural weapons can also enhance the foundation of the headquarters.
It's a triple win, they won three times.
