Chapter 137 Seven Days Later

Fang Shiming and the other surviving ghost riders returned to the country overnight, carrying the bodies of their companions who died in the ghost temple.

Only the Ghost Temple was left standing there. There were some curious people who were planning to approach the Ghost Temple to investigate.

However, they didn't expect that the Exorcist Society had already started to drive people away and decided to seal off the area.

These people had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

"President, we have investigated the places where the ghost temple was found to have invaded, such as Nihonjima and Sanhonjima. All traces left by the ghost temple have disappeared."

"Okay, it seems that the ghost temple is really imprisoned. Give orders to establish an isolation zone around the ghost temple and don't let anyone get close."

After finishing everything, President Tagami took another look at the ghost temple in the distance before leaving. He saw that the fog surrounding the ghost temple had become very thin. Through the fog, he could still see cracks on the walls of the ghost temple. It seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.

But he didn't know how fragile the balance in the ghost temple was.

At this time, in the backyard of the ghost temple, there were no living people left. There were only three corpses of ghost riders that had been possessed by evil spirits. Because they had no target, these three revived evil spirits could only wander aimlessly in the backyard.

There was a clanging sound, as if a sword was drawn.

With a loud bang, a palm-wide crack appeared out of nowhere in the backyard, starting from the ancient well and ending at the middle path. The huge force shattered the stone bricks under the path, revealing the golden metal inside the bricks.

This crack was like an invisible wall, blocking the way of the evil spirits wandering in the courtyard. One of the wandering evil spirits automatically changed its route and walked towards the ancient well on the side.

……

that night,

The news about the circle of friends handling the ghost temple incident was spread to the Ghost Rider website.

It attracted the attention of many forces at once.

It’s just that what they are paying attention to is not the circle of friends, but the Asian headquarters behind the circle of friends, and even Renguo behind the Asian headquarters.

In the eyes of outsiders, the circle of friends who accepted the task from the headquarters to deal with the ghost temple incident were tacitly regarded as affiliated forces of the headquarters.

Now, after seeing the performance of the WeChat Moments, other forces have begun to re-evaluate the true strength of the Asian headquarters.

While the outside world is in turmoil, the country remains calm.

Regarding the circle of friends solving the ghost temple incident, the headquarters just expressed congratulations as a routine matter. When the strength reaches a certain level, the headquarters will no longer consider flexing muscles to show their strength, but will start to consider the issue of domestic civilian ghost riders.

As supernatural events occur more and more frequently, there are several lucky people across the country who encounter evil spirits every day but survive and become ordinary ghost riders.

In addition to those ghost riders who have been discovered and taken in, there are still some ghost riders who have not been discovered, or who have been discovered but are unwilling to join any forces. They walk like lone wolves in the steel forest.

These folk ghost hunters have no idea of ​​the dangers of supernatural powers because they have no predecessors to guide them.

After gaining extraordinary abilities, some people either become mentally unbalanced or their minds are corroded by the supernatural, causing them to do irrational things and embark on the path of crime.

Some people will be eroded by supernatural forces due to their abuse of the evil spirit's abilities, and the evil spirit in their body will revive faster, which will soon become a new supernatural event.

Faced with the last situation, the headquarters had no choice but to send someone in charge to resolve it.

In the face of the previous situation, the headquarters would give these people a break in the past. As long as they agreed to work for the headquarters, the previous things would not be pursued. In the past, the headquarters had a limited number of ghost riders and insufficient strength, so they took compromises, but now it is different.

As Wang Xiaoming's invention began to become popular, the strength of the headquarters was greatly enhanced, and the higher-ups became increasingly impatient with those ghost riders who ignored national laws and despised the country.

Preparations have begun to be made to crack down on these ghost handlers who undermine social stability and to reshape the atmosphere in the domestic spiritual world.

As for large-scale civilian ghost-controlling forces like WeChat Moments, the headquarters still focuses on winning them over, but the necessary rules still have to be followed.

At present, the circle of friends is actively moving closer to the headquarters and clinging to the headquarters, hoping to obtain the corresponding resources from the headquarters and enhance their own strength.

At the same time, the headquarters also took a fancy to the power of the circle of friends, and wanted to use the circle of friends to set up an example. As the ghost-controlling organization with the first civilian power, the circle of friends is the most appropriate to serve as this example.

The sun rises and the moon sets, time is like a never-ending river, constantly moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since the circle of friends resolved the ghost temple incident.

After a series of negotiations, the headquarters and the circle of friends have formally reached a cooperation. In the future, the circle of friends will become an affiliated force of the headquarters, will fully support the decisions of the headquarters, enjoy corresponding rights and obligations, and at the same time have certain autonomy.

Once this matter was announced to the public, it immediately caused an uproar in the domestic supernatural community.

The circle of friends has been taken over by the headquarters!

There were also people on the Ghost Hunter website shouting to the supernatural forum, asking them to hold on and not be swallowed up by the headquarters, and they received a lot of likes.

However, Wang Xiaoming didn't take all these changes to heart because he was simply too busy.

Since the first batch of acquired supernatural ghosts were delivered seven days ago, new supernatural ghosts have been sent from all over the world every day, with the number ranging from more than forty to a dozen.

Unfortunately, among these acquired evil spirits, there was no target that interested him.

Facing a large number of evil spirits that were offered a bounty for their services, Wang Xiaoming felt both pain and happiness. He was happy because the arrival of these evil spirits would help him digest the potion more smoothly. During these days, he could clearly sense the digestion of the potion and the increase in his total spiritual power.

The pain was because there were too many evil spirits. Even if he didn't sleep all day, he couldn't refine them all into supernatural weapons.

So Wang Xiaoming could only put these temporarily unused supernatural ghosts into the headquarters warehouse and warehouse No. 1 for safekeeping, and then transfer them out from the two warehouses when needed.

During these seven days, Wang Xiaoming forged a total of 140 new supernatural weapons. However, because the supernatural strength of most of the evil spirits was not high, even if they were made into supernatural weapons, they were still unqualified products in Wang Xiaoming's eyes.

However, to other people in the headquarters, the supernatural weapons he forged were not only qualified, but also extremely useful.

Every day, Zhao Jianguo would personally come to collect the supernatural weapons he forged, and he would be followed by a team of fully-equipped elite soldiers.

The five departments also gradually realized that supernatural weapons were no longer rare items, and no longer required the headquarters to hand in all the forged supernatural weapons, but they could keep some for their own use.

In addition to forging supernatural weapons, Wang Xiaoming has also made considerable progress in studying the supernatural runes of the ghost flashlight. The number of supernatural runes collected from the ghost flashlight alone exceeds one thousand.

Through experiments in the ghost realm, with the help of the Eye of Prying into Secrets, he has memorized the functions of more than 700 of the mysterious runes.

However, he has not yet discovered the secret of how the ghost flashlight can travel through the supernatural world.
