Chapter 181 The Spirit Detector is Stolen

In Dachang City, in the private room of Paradise on Earth, the atmosphere was somewhat frozen.

Facing Feng Quan's questioning, Pei Dong said awkwardly: "I applied, but the people at the headquarters reviewed it and didn't approve it."

"Since you didn't pass, what's the point of you looking for me?" Feng Quan said speechlessly: "I don't have the ability to make an exception and let you join the headquarters."

"Yes, yes," Pei Dong said quickly, "I asked about the headquarters' recruitment policy, and there is a rule that as long as you get recommendations from three ghost riders at the headquarters, you can make an exception and join the headquarters."

"Now two ghost riders have agreed to recommend me. I only need one more person, Brother Feng, please help me!"

Feng Quan sat on the sofa and pondered whether to agree to Pei Dong. This matter was just a piece of cake for him, but if something happened to Pei Dong later, the headquarters would hold the person who recommended him accountable, so he would still take some risks.

Compared with this risk, he will get a fierce ghost, which can be exchanged for contribution points from the headquarters and exchanged for some supernatural items. Thinking of the ghost candle that has just appeared on the exchange list recently, Feng Quan felt a little envious.

"Where is the evil ghost? Where did you get it from?" Feng Quan was still tempted, but he still had the necessary vigilance. Pei Dong was an ordinary ghost rider, and he could bribe him with an evil ghost. This was a big deal.

"Don't worry, I caught this evil ghost myself," Pei Dong said with a smile, "I passed by a village last week and happened to find this evil ghost..."

Pei Dong then briefly recounted his experience of imprisoning the evil spirit and produced some evidence to prove that he was not lying.

Feng Quan wrote down Pei Dong's words and said, "Let's stop here today. I need to think about it."

Pei Dong naturally nodded in agreement and sent Feng Quan out the door. Watching Feng Quan go away, Pei Dong felt much more relaxed. He knew that Feng Quan had already made up his mind and now he just wanted to confirm whether his words were true or not.

Once it is confirmed that he is not lying, Feng Quan will naturally come to find him, and then it will be settled for him to join the headquarters.

"But who is that person? Why is he helping me?"

Pei Dong thought of a night ten days ago when he was worried about not passing the headquarters' review. Suddenly, a strange ghost rider came to him and said he could help him join the headquarters.

It was like he had grasped the last straw, so he followed the strange ghost rider's instructions and decided to go the route of being recommended to join the headquarters.

Even the evil ghost used to bribe Feng Quan was provided by this person. What Pei Dong just said about encountering a ghost in the countryside was just a plot that had been rehearsed long ago, just to send the evil ghost to Pei Dong with a legitimate reason.

"But as long as you let me join the headquarters, I don't care whether he is a human or a monster." Pei Dong showed a sneer on his face.

At this point, he is on the verge of having his evil ghost resurrected and his life will be short. If he wants to survive, he must control the second evil ghost or use some items to suppress the evil ghost's resurrection.

These can only be obtained by joining the headquarters, so he must join the headquarters, otherwise he will have to risk his life to control the second evil spirit.

However, as the headquarters became more and more powerful and more and more ghost riders joined, the headquarters also began to raise the standards for joining, especially paying attention to the ideological and moral qualities of the ghost riders. That's how Pei Dong was eliminated.

Two days passed, just when Pei Dong thought he was going to fail, Feng Quan called and agreed to his request, but he had to inspect the goods first.

Pei Dong took out the evil spirit that he had prepared long ago, and found nothing wrong with it after inspection.

Just like that, after receiving the recommendation of three ghost riders from the headquarters, Pei Dong finally joined the headquarters again.

When he logged into the headquarters intranet and saw the exchange list, he could hardly suppress his excitement. Red and white ghost candles, spiritual smoke oil, spiritual gunpowder, the opportunity to control a second evil ghost, etc., can be exchanged as long as you have contribution points.

"But where can I get these contribution points?" After Pei Dong calmed down, he found a problem. He was already in a bad state, where could he get some contribution points now?

Late at night, Pei Dong returned to his residence in a depressed mood. As soon as he opened the door, he found something wrong. There was a person sitting in the house, wearing a suit and tie, like a door-to-door insurance salesperson. This person was the strange ghost rider who helped him join the headquarters.

"Congratulations, Mr. Pei, for getting his wish and joining the headquarters," the man said seriously after seeing Pei Dong coming back, "Let me introduce myself formally. I am Luo Sheng, the person in charge of Da'ao City."

Pei Dong looked at Luo Sheng with a vigilant look on his face and asked coldly: "What do you want to see me for?"

Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? After joining the headquarters, you want to get rid of your relationship with me?"

Pei Dong stood at the door with an expressionless face, not saying a word, just staring at Luo Sheng.

"Haha!" Luo Sheng chuckled and said, "You just joined the headquarters, why don't you look happy? Is it because the contribution points are not enough? It seems that I guessed correctly. You want to control the second evil spirit, and the 50 contribution points given by the headquarters are not enough."

Pei Dong's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't help but ask: "What do you want?"

"Do something for me," Luo Sheng said, "I will help you get contribution points."

"Who are you?" Pei Dong looked around and asked, "Which force are you from? German Union? Jianguo?"

Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "I am just a ghost rider who cannot stand the headquarters' behavior. The headquarters is hypocritical and wants us ghost riders to use our lives to protect those ordinary people. Why?"

"The most abominable thing is the exchange list set up by the headquarters. They treat us ghost riders like cattle and horses. The current strength of the headquarters is built on the exploitation of thousands of ghost riders."

"My wish is very simple. I want the headquarters to completely publicize the supernatural items on the contribution list and stop the dictatorial monopoly so that everyone can have the right to survive."

Pei Dong sneered and said, "Don't make such a cheap excuse. I guess even you don't believe it, right?"

Luo Sheng said unconcernedly, "Whether what I said is true or not, it is a fact that the headquarters has monopolized the supernatural resources of Ren Country. It is also a fact that you do not have enough contribution points to control a second evil spirit. I think in your current state, you probably won't be able to hold on for long. How about you work for me?"

Pei Dong walked into the room and sat opposite Luo Sheng, looking thoughtful.

Luo Sheng did not urge him, he knew Pei Dong would agree. From the moment the other party accepted their gift without hesitation from the beginning, Luo Sheng knew that this person would definitely be taken down.

Sure enough, after a short wait, Pei Dong nodded and agreed, and decided to become Luo Sheng's subordinate.

Luo Sheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Next time when you are assigned a city, you should choose a city in the south that is close to Da'ao City. I will then arrange for you to handle a few supernatural events. It won't be long before you earn enough contribution points."

"Will we be discovered?" Pei Dong was a little worried.

"Don't worry, those evil spirits are carefully selected and will not be discovered."

"What do I need to do?" "Now you just need to make friends with other ghost riders in the headquarters, select the ghost riders who are dissatisfied with the headquarters, and try to pull them into our camp."

……

It was July, in the basement laboratory at the headquarters.

"Who is this evil spirit?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at the evil ghost in front of him and felt that it looked familiar. He then checked the detailed information and confirmed his idea.

The evil ghost in front of him was the ghost rider who had sneaked into the headquarters last time and was killed by Old Qin. He looked like a scary old woman in a Western dress.

This old woman is also a character that has appeared in the novel. She once participated in the siege of Captain Zhang Xuan. During the national war, she represented the King's Organization in a duel with Lin Bei, who owned the mirror world. Then she was imprisoned and completely offline.

Overall this person wasn't very strong, and during the national war she was only at the level of an ordinary king, not to mention that she was dead now, and she was just an elite ghost rider.

"But this person's evil spirit ability is very similar to Wei Jing's yellow mud evil spirit. Can Wei Jing control this evil spirit?"

Wang Xiaoming remembered the description in the novel. Every time this person used his ghost ability, a dark path would appear, connecting himself and the enemy. The external manifestation should be a ghost domain. When Wei Jing used the yellow mud ghost domain, a path would also appear.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming stretched out his hand and used his forging ability. Countless white flames appeared from his hand, separating the two evil spirits from the terrifying old woman, and then he took the opportunity to identify the abilities and characteristics of the evil spirits.

"It's indeed very suitable. It's just right to be the third evil ghost controlled by Wei Jing." After retracting the white flame, Wang Xiaoming looked at the two evil ghosts placed in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

The two evil ghosts look like a worn western skirt and a black leg bone respectively. The black leg bone is the evil ghost that owns the ghost realm.

If Wei Jing could control this evil ghost, the two evil ghosts in his body would complement each other and the evil ghost's abilities would be doubled.

As for the other evil ghost's tattered western skirt, it can protect the ghost rider from supernatural attacks. As for the attack, it has a powerful impact power. In order to trigger this kind of supernatural attack, a collision must occur.

"It's a clothing-type evil spirit. It's rare. But this method of attack is not very effective. It must be combined with some evil spirits to produce power."

After evaluating the two evil spirits, Wang Xiaoming put them all into the wilderness of knowledge, then picked up the phone and called Wei Jing.

At this time, Wei Jing was walking on a busy street. When he heard the phone ring, he found out that it was Wang Xiaoming calling. He quickly walked to the side of the road and answered the call:
"Professor, what can I do for you?"

"I found a fierce ghost here that is very suitable for you to control. Please return to the headquarters as soon as possible and I will help you control it." Wang Xiaoming said lightly.

Wei Jing looked around and said, "Professor, I have a mission now and cannot go back for the time being."

"What mission?"

"A third-generation spirit-detecting instrument has been lost in Dagang City, and the person in charge, Liu Qi, has also disappeared during the investigation. In order to maintain stability here, the headquarters has sent me to guard it temporarily for a period of time."

"Okay, then you better be careful. If they dare to attack the ghost riders at the headquarters, the power behind them must be quite strong."

After hanging up the phone, white flames emerged from Wang Xiaoming's hands and he walked towards the next evil spirit. He was not affected by what had just happened because he was used to it.

Ever since the spirit-detecting instrument was promoted nationwide, its capabilities were doomed to be revealed. When its capabilities were exposed, everyone realized its importance, and various national forces immediately came to purchase it.

However, the production of spirit-detecting instruments was limited, and the headquarters itself did not have enough for their own use. How could they supply them to other forces? Naturally, they refused. After that, there were constant incidents of theft of spirit-detecting instruments, and sometimes city leaders would die mysteriously.

Wang Xiaoming had roughly guessed the cause of the incident, which was that some external forces wanted to obtain the spirit-testing instrument, and had a conflict with the person in charge of Dagang City, killing people to silence them, and stealing the spirit-testing instrument.

This kind of thing has happened quite a lot in recent times. The headquarters is now studying how to deal with it, and it is estimated that policies will come out soon.

On the other side, Wei Jing, who was far away in Dagang City, came to a building. This was where the person in charge worked before he disappeared - Bafang Building.

Wei Jing took out his phone and dialed a number. After saying a few words, someone soon came out of the building and walked straight to Wei Jing.

He took the initiative to introduce himself to Wei Jing. It turned out that this person was the liaison officer here, Li Yong, who was responsible for executing Liu Qi's various orders and was also the link between the ghost riders and government departments.

After the two got to know each other, they walked into the Bafang Building together and came to Liu Qi's office on the top floor.

The office is extremely luxurious, decorated with various porcelain ornaments, and covers an area of ​​over 100 square meters, which shows how luxurious Liu Qi's daily life is.

After Wei Jing briefly inspected the office, he asked, "Tell me in detail what happened when Liu Qi disappeared."

Li Yong nodded and said, "At about six o'clock last night, the spirit detector system sounded an alarm. There were supernatural fluctuations near the central city, but they quickly disappeared from the monitoring range... Commander Liu went to check it out, and I was responsible for contacting the police station to prevent any accidents... About half an hour later, the monitoring center suddenly received news that the building was attacked... Then the connection was lost, and I hurriedly notified Commander Liu... Commander Liu chased after it... and never came back."

Wei Jing nodded, and had a rough idea of ​​the course of events in his mind. Liu Qi must have been tricked into doing something.

"Do you have any footage of the spirit detector detecting supernatural fluctuations?" Wei Jing asked.

The third generation spirit detector has the ability to display images of supernatural and abnormal locations. If the images are saved, he can analyze a lot of useful information from them.

"It's saved, sir, please wait a moment." Li Yong said as he took out a tablet computer from the desk beside him, operated it for a while, and then handed it to Wei Jing.

Looking at the picture on the tablet, Wei Jing frowned. It was a black and white photo, and the main subject of the picture was a shabby taxi speeding on the street.

Strangely enough the driver's seat of the taxi was empty.

"A taxi without a driver?!" Wei Jing muttered. "Is this a supernatural incident?"

Wei Jing's brain started to work quickly. He originally thought that the theft of the spirit-detecting instrument was premeditated, but now it seems that is not the case.

This way, the thief will leave even less information, and it is probably impossible to find the murderer.

"Forget it, let's solve the supernatural incident first! Investigating cases is not my strong point." Wei Jing thought to himself as he looked at the taxi in the black and white photo.
