Chapter 183 Killing and Crashing
After putting the haunted taxi into a specially designed safe house, Wei Jing came to the police department and prepared to meet Zhou Tong.
The reason why he asked his men to take Zhou Tong away was because he saw that this person had established some connection with the supernatural taxi and controlled some of the supernatural powers of the taxi.
Although it’s not much, he has become a real ghost rider.
Considering that the ghost vehicle he was driving was a taxi, Wei Jing decided to recruit him into the headquarters, as he might be able to use him in the future.
Public office area of the Police Department,
Zhou Tong was sitting obediently in a corner. Since entering the police station, he has relaxed a lot. Even if the other party wanted to take his mobile phone, he would hand it over voluntarily.
Looking at the busy figures in uniform around him, Zhou Tong felt a sense of security in his heart.
The air conditioning here was too strong, making Zhou Tong feel cold. He tightened his clothes to prevent himself from catching a cold in this hot summer.
"Today I must have encountered the midnight taxi in the urban legend. If I had really gotten in it, I would have been dead!"
After arriving at a safe environment, Zhou Tong began to recall his previous experience. The strange taxi that could forcibly control his body was completely beyond his comprehension.
"It's possible that there are really superpowers in this world, and those people should be the secret department of the government, responsible for handling extraordinary cases, just like what is written in the novel!"
"Will I be specially recruited into the government?"
Zhou Tong also liked to read novels, and he was familiar with some of the plots in the novels. According to the logic of the development of things, if a secret department like this was seen by normal people, they would either be silenced or recruited.
Now it seems that there is no sign of silencing him, which means he has been recruited.
"Zhou Tong, right? Someone wants to see you." Just as Zhou Tong was fantasizing, a young police officer came up to him and motioned for him to follow.
Zhou Tong did not dare to delay and nodded repeatedly in agreement, following the young police officer deeper into the building until they came to a room with the word "office" written on it.
The young police officer went up and knocked on the door. After hearing the invitation, he opened the door and brought Zhou Tong in.
"Report to the commander, Zhou Tong has been brought here!"
As soon as he entered the office, Zhou Tong smelled a faint smell of cigarettes. He looked around the office secretly, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of legs resting on the desk. Then a familiar voice came: "Okay, you go out first."
The young police officer left, leaving Zhou Tong standing there.
"It's the person who is suspected to have saved me. No wonder I feel his voice is familiar." Zhou Tong saw clearly that the person with his legs crossed was Wei Jing.
"Sit down first and relax." Wei Jing retracted his legs, took a deep breath of the e-cigarette in his hand, and pointed to the seat next to him.
Seeing Zhou Tong sitting down, Wei Jing walked up to him and said, "You must have a lot of questions about what happened today. Don't worry, I will answer them one by one."
"first,……"
After a long time, when Zhou Tong walked out of the police building and came to the street, the sky outside was already turning pale.
Looking at the distant skyline and the Golden Crow rising into the sky, he felt complicated, feeling happy and helpless.
"Fuck the Ghost Rider!" Zhou Tong raised his middle finger towards the sky.
At this time, he already knew what a ghost rider was and what spiritual resurrection was. It turned out that the dark side of this world actually hid such a dangerous world.
He knew about the short-lived ghost riders, the immortal evil spirits, the ever-increasing number of supernatural events, the headquarters that controlled ghost riders across the country, and more.
Just when he felt respect for the ghost handlers who were at the forefront of dealing with supernatural events, Wei Jing told him a cruel story.
That is, he became a ghost rider, controlling part of the ghost taxi's spirit and embarking on a road of no return to fight for his life with evil spirits.
Fortunately, the headquarters has many methods that can temporarily delay the revival of evil spirits, and they just need to be exchanged with contribution points. So when he was asked if he was willing to join the headquarters, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Only a fool would not join!
"Let me go home and pack my things first." Zhou Tong sighed, walked to the side of the road, and was about to hail a taxi when he felt uncomfortable.
Especially when he saw a taxi coming towards him, he felt inexplicably panicked.
So Zhou Tong turned around and walked towards the subway. He knew that last night's experience had left him with a shadow of regret for taxis.
"I always feel like I forgot something?"
Walking into the subway station, Zhou Tong searched his pockets and found nothing missing, so he took out his mobile phone to scan the code to enter the station, but found that his phone had been turned off at some point.
Turn on...
Drop drop! ! !
As soon as I turned on the phone, I heard a constant stream of notification sounds. Dozens of missed calls popped up on the phone, all from the owner of the repair shop.
"Oh no! I forgot about this!" Zhou Tong suddenly realized.
Then he laughed again. Although he had become a short-lived ghost, he no longer had to be exploited by his boss.
He called back and prepared to tell his boss that he was quitting.
beep……
The phone rang once and was immediately connected. Just as Zhou Tong was about to speak, the roar of the repair shop owner came from the microphone:
"Zhou Tong, do you not want to work anymore? What does it mean that your phone is turned off? Do you know how many times my clients have called me? Get to the company right now, or you'll be fired and forget about your salary."
Zhou Tong took the microphone away and waited until the noise died down before he shouted back, "Fuck you! I quit!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong immediately hung up the phone and blocked the other party in one go.
"Cool!"
Zhou Tong felt as if the resentment that had been pent up in his chest was released directly, and he felt extremely relieved.
From now on, he will have a stable job with top-notch pay and will never have to worry about money again.
On the other side, the team responsible for tracking down the stolen spirit-detecting instrument,
Three ghost riders were sitting in a car, wandering around the streets of Dagang City, as if they were looking for something?
"Bai San, is your ability really working? Is it not going to fail again?" The ghost rider in charge of driving complained, "I've been driving for more than ten hours, and my butt is almost rotten from sitting."
Hearing the driver's complaint, the young man with a nose ring next to him was unhappy: "Do you think I'm joking? Don't you know how big Dagang City is? Your butt is broken, but I'm also in the car, right?"
The two of them were arguing back and forth, making it quite lively. Finally, the ghost rider in the back row couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them.
"Okay, stop complaining. These people can't hide for long. If you work harder, you might find them in the next moment if you're lucky."
The driver and Bai San nodded and said nothing more. The ghost rider in the back row was the captain of the team. He had the strength of an elite ghost rider and was a core member of the headquarters, responsible for managing these peripheral members. Whether it was out of awe of the captain's strength or the gap in status, Bai San and the others would not take the initiative to refute the captain's opinion.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon. Even the ghost rider's body could not bear it anymore. Bai San and the ghost rider who was driving felt sleepy.
"Captain, do you think these people have already left Dagang City? We have already gone through most areas of Dagang City, but still found nothing." The driver took off his sunglasses and rubbed his bloodshot eyes.
"They can't leave," the captain said with certainty. "After the incident, all ports, docks and airport roads in Dagang City were blocked. If they leave on their own, it's possible, but with the spirit-detecting instrument, it's basically impossible."
The captain's words aroused the curiosity of the two. The driver and Bai San were only peripheral personnel of the headquarters, and were transferred from foreign ghost-controlling organizations. Their authority was very limited, and the spirit-detecting instrument was an important secret of the headquarters and was strictly kept confidential, which resulted in them not knowing much information.
"Why is that? I remember the spirit-detecting instrument isn't that big. At worst, we can just hold the spirit-detecting instrument and use the ghost realm to teleport out. Ordinary blockades won't work at all, right?" Bai San asked curiously.
The captain looked at the two of them carefully and said:
“The spirit detector is the most advanced technology in our headquarters. It is loaded with multiple security modes. For example, it will continuously transmit signals to the headquarters, and the headquarters can determine the location of the spirit detector through these signals.
Also, the power cannot be cut off at will after it is turned on. If there is no remote unlocking from the headquarters, the spirit detector will self-destruct after the power is cut off for more than one minute.
These safety modes make it very troublesome to move the spirit-detecting instrument. If it is only moved in a small range, they may be able to do it, but if they want to transport the spirit-detecting instrument abroad, it cannot be done relying solely on ghost riders, and specially modified means of transportation must be used.
We have blocked the port, airport and roads, which has prevented them from transporting the spirit-detecting instrument away."
After listening to this, Bai San and the driver nodded repeatedly. No wonder the captain didn't seem to be in a hurry even though the spirit-detecting instrument was lost. It turned out that the headquarters had already added some tricks to the spirit-detecting instrument.
It is estimated that in the beginning, those who stole the spirit-detecting instrument suffered a lot of losses. With such a series of protective measures, it is almost impossible for the enemy to obtain a complete and usable spirit-detecting instrument.
At this moment, Bai San suddenly smelled a different scent, and his eyes immediately lit up:
"Captain, I found the target."
Ok? !
The captain immediately straightened up and looked at Bai San: "Are you sure?"
Bai San nodded and said excitedly: "Yes, it is the same as the strange ghost rider's aura I smelled in the Bafang Building."
After confirming, the captain smiled and said, "Not bad. If we can catch the group of people who stole the spirit-testing instrument this time, you will be the first to do so."
Bai San's ability is related to his nose. Although he is not strong in combat, he is top-notch in sense of smell and can smell different supernatural powers.
The headquarters recruited Bai Santa because of his sense of smell.
As for the other person, the Ghost Rider who is responsible for driving, he also has special abilities. His eyes can see the Ghost Rider through a certain distance and obstacles, just like using an infrared camera at night. He is also an expert in searching for Ghost Riders.
Next, under Bai San's guidance, the three of them came to a villa area called Lvshuiyuan, which covered a large area and those who lived there were either rich or noble.
After the three got off the car, the captain said to the driver:
"It's up to you now!"
The driver's ability to see through things and find ghost riders is just perfect for this.
At this time, in a single-family villa in Lushuiyuan,
Three ghost riders were discussing how to take away the spirit-detecting instrument.
"Damn it!" A one-eyed ghost rider slammed the table. "When will the middleman's contact arrive? Are we being fooled?"
"These people probably got scared after seeing the reaction from headquarters!"
"If it were you, I'd tell the middleman directly that if they don't come to pick us up, we'd abandon the spirit-detecting instrument. I don't believe they can hold back."
As they were talking, they turned their eyes to a huge metal box beside them, which was more than two meters high. The box contained the spirit-detecting instrument they had stolen.
Since the spirit detector will automatically transmit signals to the outside world, they prepared a metal box that can isolate the signal in advance.
There is a cable as thick as a baby's arm behind the metal box, which is responsible for supplying power to the spirit detector to prevent it from losing power. If the password is not entered within one minute after the power is cut off, the spirit detector will self-destruct.
What a burden!
The same thought emerged in the minds of the three ghost riders at the same time.
At this time, a young man wearing glasses came down from the second floor. Seeing the newcomer, the one-eyed ghost rider stood up and asked, "Boss, how is Old Five?"
The man with glasses nodded. "Not bad. I got a portion of supernatural e-liquid from the person in charge. Although the quantity is not much, the effect is very good. Lao Wu felt much more energetic after taking it."
"There are so many good things in this headquarters. I'm so damn envious!"
Hearing that it only took a small amount of spiritual e-liquid to save a ghost rider who was on the verge of revival, several ghost riders couldn't help but show envious looks.
It’s a pity that they have a bad reputation and it is impossible for them to join the headquarters. In addition, they have now stolen the spirit-testing instrument and attacked and killed the city leader, which has put them on the opposite side of the headquarters.
The one-eyed ghost rider was about to say a few more words when he heard a loud bang, followed by a violent explosion.
Boom——
After a few rocket launches, the luxurious villa built next to the artificial lake was turned into ruins.
"Everyone be on alert, load your guns and shoot immediately if you see anyone suspicious."
After the captain gave instructions to the ordinary soldiers following behind him, he took driver Bai San and headed towards the ruins.
At the same time, while walking, an invisible ghost domain spread out in all directions and collided with another completely different ghost domain.
Under the vibrations of the ghost realm collision, five figures appeared in the ruins. They were the ghost riders who stole the spirit-testing instrument this time.
The man with glasses had a grim expression on his face. He tried hard to maintain the ghost domain and wanted to get rid of the entanglement of the ghost domain on the opposite side, but he couldn't do it.
Then, dense gunfire rang out, and countless supernatural bullets hit his ghost domain and then exploded.
Some bullets passed through the ghost area and hit his companions beside him. The fifth brother, who was already in poor condition, fell directly to the ground. As for the others, they all used their ghost abilities to the fullest, but facing the dense spiritual bullets, defeat was only a matter of time.
"This is too much of a cheating way of fighting! I'm sorry, brothers, I can't save you."
The man with glasses directly sent several of his companions out of the ghost zone, and then began to move. In the blink of an eye, he crossed hundreds of meters and left the villa area.
Without the protection of the ghost realm, the one-eyed men were shot into sieves by the even more violent supernatural bullets before they could even react.
As for the man with glasses escaping, the captain was not in a hurry because he had already notified Wei Jing for help before coming.
Drip!
The man with glasses was using the ghost domain to move when he heard a car horn behind him. He turned around and saw a shabby taxi coming towards him.
