Chapter 180 Ghost Candle
in the laboratory,

After putting aside the matter of the Perfect Church, Wang Xiaoming looked at the twenty or so golden containers placed in front of him. Inside them were the evil spirits that had just been sent by the logistics department.

Different from usual practice, these evil spirits were not purchased through bounty offers, but were snatched from the Dejian Joint Laboratory by the headquarters.

After several days of review and inspection, it was confirmed to be ok before being transported to his laboratory.

Wang Xiaoming is very interested in these evil spirits, because he knows that the evil spirits that can enter the supernatural research of Germany and Jian must have high research value.

This might bring new inspiration to his supernatural research.

At 3:00 p.m., in the office of the deputy director of the headquarters,
Cao Yanhua and Zhao Jianguo were discussing the intelligence collected by the intelligence department, and one piece of intelligence about the Perfect Church caught their attention.

"The development momentum of this perfect church is alarming, especially since their Pope is a missionary. You know, this person is currently on the wanted list of our headquarters." Cao Yanhua pointed to the intelligence report on the table.

"Don't worry, Cao Bu. No matter how fast the Perfect Church develops, it has a limit. It is just a circle of friends at most." Zhao Jianguo said with a smile, "Besides, it's not us who are having a headache now, but the German Union's round table meeting."

"How to say?"

"Commander Cao, please take a look." Zhao Jianguo handed over a document. "Not long ago, the Round Table Society sent three ghost riders, including the jailer, to the Xiaoya Kingdom to pick up two ghost riders who were about to leave the Perfect Church. As a result, there has been no news so far. It is said that all the ghost riders of the Round Table Society have been aboard."

Cao Yanhua's face condensed: "This missionary's strength is indeed impressive. When he crossed the Eurasian continent in three hours, he must have controlled the third evil ghost after escaping from the headquarters and became a top ghost rider."

Zhao Jianguo on the side nodded and said: "This also explains why he disappeared for a while after escaping the headquarters. He should be controlling the third evil spirit. However, the stronger he is, the better it is for us.

In order to clear themselves of suspicion, Germany and Jian had issued wanted warrants for several people at the beginning. Although they have been revoked now, the rift between them has already existed. With the strength of the missionary's top ghost rider, they can just muddy the waters in Europe."

Cao Yanhua nodded, thinking it made sense. The existence of missionaries was like a troublemaker. Although they could not bring down the German League, they could still cause some trouble for the German League, which would also delay the development of other aspects of the German League.

The two then began to check other intelligence, which involved information on supernatural beings from all over the world, all provided by the intelligence group's overseas informants. It would help the headquarters understand changes in the world and formulate corresponding countermeasures.

After all the information was processed, Cao Yanhua suddenly thought of something and said, "How is the matter of asking Professor Wang to make a storage bag a few days ago going?"

"The professor has made a total of ten storage bags. One of them was taken away by Mr. Qin, and the rest have all been put into the warehouse." Zhao Jianguo replied.

"I know about Mr. Qin's situation. He told me about it a long time ago," Cao Yanhua nodded, but then smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think we should do with these storage bags? I have received a lot of calls recently, all about storage bags."

Zhao Jianguo also looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

At the same time, in the underground laboratory,
Wang Xiaoming sat aside and meditated and rested. He had just forged all the twenty or so evil spirits in front of him, and also identified them, and learned the detailed information of these evil spirits.

The abilities possessed by these evil spirits were either strange or powerful auxiliary abilities. Wang Xiaoming found a few evil spirits that he was very interested in and kept them for future research.

His main focus now is on the research and development of the ghost candle, and even the time for other research has been compressed.

Time passed peacefully. Wang Xiaoming filled his daily tasks with forging, research and experiments. In a blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

It was mid-June and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The road outside was hot enough to fry eggs.

During this period, the headquarters has developed steadily and the spirit-testing instruments have begun to be spread across the country. In addition to some important bases, many cities have already installed spirit-testing instruments, both second and third generations.

The emergence of these spirit detecting instruments has enabled many supernatural events to be effectively controlled in the early stages of an outbreak. Even if one encounters a fierce ghost in a ghost domain, as long as the ghost is not of extremely high strength, the third-generation spirit detecting instruments can detect it through the ghost domain.

As a result, a strange phenomenon has emerged in the country: supernatural events are happening more and more frequently, but society is becoming more and more stable, and fewer and fewer people are dying from supernatural events every day.

The reputation of the spirit-testing instrument gradually spread throughout the world, and many forces came to purchase it. The inventor Wang Xiaoming was once again deified.

Wang Xiaoming is happy to see these false reputations, because they can also be regarded as a kind of anchor point.

In the underground laboratory, several experimenters in white coats were operating instruments, dividing the evil spirit materials in the observation room through the golden glass.

Wang Xiaoming stood aside and watched quietly. Only when he saw someone making a mistake in operation would he step forward to give instructions.

Finally, after more than an hour of hard work, the evil spirit material in the observation room was finally separated into two different colors of wax.

"Professor, it's done!"

"We made it!"

The moment the experiment was completed, several experimenters were excited.

"You are not skilled enough yet," Wang Xiaoming interrupted everyone's joy and said, "During the entire segmentation period, each of you made at least one mistake. If I hadn't been there, this segmentation experiment would have failed."

Several experimenters lowered their heads and dared not speak. They knew that Wang Xiaoming was right and they had indeed made a mistake.

“However,” Wang Xiaoming changed his tone and stopped attacking them, “You have only studied for a whole morning. It is already very good to be able to achieve this level. From now on, it depends on your own practice.”

Several experimenters nodded, their expressions changing from worry to joy.

Zhao Jianguo, who was standing by, couldn't wait any longer. He pulled Wang Xiaoming aside and asked, "Is this all right? There won't be any problems, right?"

"Don't worry," Wang Xiaoming explained, "They have already mastered the basics. I will ask Pang Dong to keep an eye on it later. He has been following me in the experiments, and he has memorized the production of ghost candles by heart. With him watching, the production of ghost candles can be finalized."

"Professor, just think about it!" Zhao Jianguo nodded with a smile, and then said: "Everyone is very happy about the successful development of the ghost candle this time. The abilities of the two ghost candles are very magical, especially the red candle, which makes up for the shortcoming of the supernatural chalk that cannot move.

But we are more worried about your health, professor. You have been living in the laboratory these days and have never taken a vacation. Although you are already a ghost rider, your body is not made of iron. You still need to rest when you need to!"

"I know my body. This level of intensity is not stressful for me. But you are right. After working for a long time, I should relax for a while. But not now. I have a research that is at a critical stage." Wang Xiaoming replied.

Zhao Jianguo's words did make Wang Xiaoming want to take a rest. The dual channels of potions and magic gave him a strong body, making him energetic and not afraid of fatigue, but the mental exhaustion was not so easy to recover. The long-term experiments and the daily forging of supernatural weapons required him to consume a lot of brain power and spirituality.

He has been feeling a little tired and exhausted during this period, but he is not ready to rest immediately. On the one hand, his research is indeed at a critical stage, that is, the research on the ghost flashlight. He has already found clues about its ability to travel through supernatural places. If he continues his research, perhaps he will be able to extract its ability to travel through supernatural places in the next moment.

On the other hand, he was going to digest the potion completely before he could rest. After sending Zhao Jianguo away, Wang Xiaoming returned to his laboratory, lay on the sofa in the rest area, and began to meditate to restore his spirituality.

The laboratory that produced the ghost candles just now is on the seventh floor below ground. From now on, that laboratory will be responsible for the production of ghost candles, just like the supernatural gunpowder and supernatural tobacco oil that he had researched before.

After a long time, Wang Xiaoming opened his eyes and ended his meditation.

He thought back to the past month, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

He was indeed a little obsessed, and his research on the ghost candle was not going smoothly, or rather, it was not as smooth as he imagined.

Maybe it was his obsession, or maybe he had such a deep memory of the ghost candle, but in the process of researching the ghost candle, Wang Xiaoming rarely worked overtime until late at night, and sometimes he even lived in the laboratory. Finally, after more than a month of hard work, he finally developed the ghost candle.

The final product is the same as the ghost candle in the original novel. After the red candle is lit, it can block the attacks of evil spirits. As long as the ghost candle is not extinguished, the evil spirits cannot harm it.

When a white candle is lit, it will attract evil spirits, especially when dealing with invisible evil spirits.

However, the headquarters now has a spirit-detecting instrument, so they don’t attach much importance to Bai Zhu.

Apart from the ghost candle, the digestion rate of the craftsman potion in his body has also increased a lot during this period. Most of it has been digested, and only a small part of the potion has not been digested.

"It will take at most another month for the Artisan Potion to be completely digested."

Sensing the potion being digested in his body, Wang Xiaoming made a judgment.

"I don't know if there is a ceremony required to advance to Sequence 5 Astronomer?"

Wang Xiaoming recalled that when he read novels in his previous life, the Divine Path required some simple rituals to advance to Sequence Five. This was said to be to reduce the risk of getting out of control during the advancement.

He is now in a world of mysterious resurrection. Without the original creator, the risk of promotion can be said to be much smaller than in the mysterious world. In other words, even if the ceremony is not held, he still has a chance of promotion if he forcefully takes the potion.

However, thinking that his cheat code came from a mysterious game, Wang Xiaoming felt that it would still exist. After all, if one more task was designed, players would play more in the game.

Then came the creation of his own spells. Because the study of ghost candles squeezed out most of his time, Wang Xiaoming only created two spells, all of which were developed based on the abilities of evil spirits.

One is an illusion developed based on the leaf ghost's ability to obscure the eyes, which can simply manipulate humans' five senses to create illusions.

The other is the Mage's Hand, which was developed based on the ability of the transformed evil spirit to attack wherever it can be seen. It is somewhat similar to the Hundred-Step Divine Fist and can attack from a hundred steps away.

Although his self-created spells are somewhat weaker in power than the evil spirit's abilities, they are not restrained by gold and have the power to influence gold.

On the other hand, after leaving the underground laboratory, Zhao Jianguo went directly to Cao Yanhua to report on the production of ghost candles.

Cao Yanhua was very happy when he learned that the ghost candle could be produced normally. He had made an in-depth understanding of this new type of supernatural item developed by Wang Xiaoming and knew that it was also a strategic material, so he attached great importance to it.

Now that the production of ghost candles is on track, they can also put them on the exchange list and let the ghost riders at the headquarters exchange them for use.

Ten days later, Dachang City, Chengdong District,
There is a high-end club here - Paradise on Earth, which is luxuriously decorated and provides attentive and considerate service. It is a great place to enhance relationships.

In one of the secret boxes, Feng Quan was enjoying a massage with all his heart and soul relaxed. There was another person next to him who was also receiving a massage.

Not long after, the masseur left. Feng Quan sat up and put on his clothes. The man next to him came over and said, "Brother Feng, how is this place? This is a good place I carefully selected."

Feng Quan lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Not bad, not bad! Much better than Heaven on Earth. You invited me here, is there something going on?"

The man quickly shook his head and said, "I just haven't seen Brother Feng for a long time, and I want to get closer."

Hearing what the other party said, Feng Quan suddenly shuddered and said with disgust: "Pei Dong, this is not the first day we have known each other. If you have something to say, please say it quickly. If you don't say it, I will leave."

After Feng Quan finished speaking, he pretended to leave.

Seeing this, Pei Dong hurried forward to stop him and said, "Brother Feng, let me tell you!"

Feng Quan sat down on the sofa in the room, exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Go ahead! I'm listening."

"Brother Feng, can you introduce me to the headquarters?" Pei Dong looked expectant.

Want to join HQ?

Feng Quan looked at Pei Dong with a strange expression and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you join the headquarters with me?"

Pei Dong showed an embarrassed look on his face, and said hesitantly: "I... I quit... the headquarters halfway through, and I've long been... not considered a member of the headquarters."

"You're leaving the headquarters?" Feng Quan looked puzzled and asked in disbelief, "Why?"

Feng Quan and Pei Dong were not actually very familiar with each other. They met at the training base at the headquarters and had no contact after they separated. Today was their first meeting since they left the training base.

Facing Feng Quan's question, Pei Dong also said aggrievedly: "After joining the headquarters, they always asked me to deal with supernatural events.

Brother Feng should know my ghost ability. I need to get close to the ghost to use it... This is going to kill me! So I took the initiative to withdraw from the headquarters."

After listening to this, Feng Quan did not have any intention of pitying the other party. Instead, his expression became indifferent: "So now that the headquarters has developed well, you want to come back again."

Pei Dong nodded and said, "I know you look down on me, but if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Brother Feng, if you help me this time, I will give you a fierce ghost."

Hearing that the reward was a fierce ghost, Feng Quan was somewhat moved. Ever since the headquarters started offering unlimited bounties for collecting fierce ghosts, the value of fierce ghosts has become higher and higher, especially since fierce ghosts can be exchanged for contribution points at the headquarters, which is hard currency.

only--

"I remember that to join the headquarters, you only need to go to the headquarters for review," Feng Quan narrowed his eyes and said, "Why did you come to me?"
