Chapter 221 Accident and Entry
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Cao Yanhua coughed a few times, then pondered for a while before saying, "According to the results of the self-inspection of the Longmen Town base, this has something to do with Professor Wang."
"What does it have to do with me?!" Wang Xiaoming laughed.
Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone said awkwardly, "This Professor Liao was originally sent away because he had problems, but he always thought that it was the headquarters' favoritism. He did not face up to his own mistakes, but instead regarded you as an enemy in his heart."
“Hehe…” Wang Xiaoming smiled.
"This person overestimated his own abilities and wanted to compete with the professor in the research of supernatural and evil spirits. However, the professor's endless inventions were sought after by countless ghost masters in the supernatural world, but this person was unable to research a useful supernatural item, so he went a little crazy."
Cao Yanhua continued, "He believed that the professor was able to develop these supernatural items because he became a ghost rider, so he began to prepare to become a ghost rider. He sent more than a dozen applications to the headquarters, but they were all rejected by the headquarters. So he took the risk of riding the revived evil spirits, wanting to kill first and report later."
"There will be no danger if you enter the healing formation afterwards. The professor has seen the result. This person overestimated his own abilities and was controlled by the power of the evil spirit. He destroyed the laboratory and detonated the underground passage. This has proven that he is crazy."
After Cao Yanhua finished speaking, there was still no sound from the other end of the phone. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said,
"Of course, these have nothing to do with the professor. It's just that this person is narrow-minded and blames others. What I said before was all the nonsense he wrote in his diary. He said it specifically to the professor to remind him to be careful of these villains in the dark."
"Well, I understand," Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "The underground passage has great research value. I will go to Longmen Town in person. Please help me arrange the flight."
Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and said yes repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Yanhua felt a little annoyed. Why did he say such a thing just now?
It's all the fault of that guy named Liao. If Professor Wang had let you off, you should have just focused on your research. But you had to mess around with this and that, and even treated Professor Wang as an imaginary enemy. You really have no self-awareness.
As for Wang Xiaoming, he first asked Zhou Tong to refund the plane ticket, and then opened the detailed information sent by Cao Yanhua.
When the Yellow Sand Ghost got out of control, the Longmen Town base immediately passed the information out and the headquarters also sent reinforcements in time.
However, they did not expect that the evil ghost in the underground passage would escape, causing the rescue team of ghost riders to be trapped in the yellow sand ghost domain.
Now the headquarters has begun to dispatch top ghost riders to participate in the rescue. When we were talking on the phone just now, several top ghost riders had already arrived in Longmen Town and started the rescue plan.
"Plans cannot keep up with changes. I originally wanted to wait until Sequence 4 to check out the underground passage, but I didn't expect such a change to happen."
Wang Xiaoming shook his head speechlessly. The underground passage was a relic left by ghost riders from the late Tang Dynasty and early Song Dynasty, and it had great research value.
In particular, he learned the name of Sand King Li Yanshou from the memory of the wish ghost, and knew that the most famous evil spirit of Sand King was the one who controlled the yellow sand.
This is very similar to the yellow sand ghost in Longmen Town. Wang Xiaoming was filled with curiosity when he thought that this was a mysterious place left by a ghost rider of Zhang Dong's level.
The plane arranged by the headquarters arrived quickly and was arranged in less than half an hour. When Wang Xiaoming arrived near Longmen Town, it was three hours later.
From the helicopter, looking from afar, Wang Xiaoming saw a huge yellow bowl standing between heaven and earth. It was the ghost domain of the yellow sand ghost.
"It's so big, it feels like it can directly cover a city!" Zhou Tong who was standing by said in surprise after seeing it.
Wang Xiaoming didn't say anything, but he became more and more convinced that this mysterious place might be related to Sand King Li Yanshou.
When he arrived at the temporary camp, Wang Xiaoming met Zhao Jianguo, who was leading the team at the headquarters this time.
"Professor, this mysterious place is not easy to deal with!" Zhao Jianguo said with a serious face as soon as they met.
"Well... the rescue was not going well?" Wang Xiaoming asked.
Zhao Jianguo shook his head and said, "At present, all the trapped people have been rescued, but there are still many powerful ghosts in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain, which has caused great trouble to our people."
"According to the detection of the spirit detector, we have found more than a hundred spiritual anomalies in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain, among which three evil spirits have reached the A-level spiritual strength."
The spirit-detecting instrument itself has the ability to detect the strength of supernatural powers. This ability is still retained in the second and third generation spirit-detecting instruments, and has also been upgraded to make the detection more accurate.
In order to better detect supernatural ghosts, the headquarters later standardized the supernatural strength of C-level to S-level ghosts. From then on, the headquarters had accurate data standards to determine the level of a ghost. As for the destructive power and impact range, they were not discarded by the headquarters and would be used as auxiliary judgments.
Moreover, this time the redivision is based on the strength of the ghost riders. Class C corresponds to ordinary ghost riders who ride one evil ghost, Class B corresponds to elite ghost riders who ride two evil ghosts, and Class A corresponds to top ghost riders who ride three evil ghosts.
As for the S level, there is no clear correspondence, because it is difficult to count the number of evil spirits at this level.
Although the classification of the headquarters is not 100% correct, it is much better than the standards previously recognized by the supernatural world. At least it can allow ghost riders to have a clear positioning of their own strength and will not make them blindly confident.
The presence of three A-level evil ghosts also meant that there were now three top-level ghost masters in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain.
"And according to our monitoring, the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain is still expanding, and the number of evil spirits inside is also slowly increasing." Zhao Jianguo continued.
Wang Xiaoming frowned slightly. He had expected there would be trouble here, but he didn't expect the trouble to be so tricky. It seemed that the statues that sealed the evil spirits in the underground passage had been destroyed. It was estimated that it would not be long before two or three hundred evil spirits would appear at the same time.
If these evil spirits came into the world at the same time, the damage caused would be immeasurable.
"What are you going to do next? What can I do?" Wang Xiaoming asked. The situation was so serious that Zhao Jianguo and others must have thought of a countermeasure.
"We plan to send some powerful ghost riders into the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain to imprison the evil spirits there and reduce their number."
Zhao Jianguo explained: "Although there are many evil spirits in the underground passage, they are limited. We have the healing formation invented by the professor, so we don't have to worry about the evil spirits invading us. We are not afraid of consumption at all."
Wang Xiaoming nodded and said, "In that case, I will set up a healing formation here so that you don't have to run back to the headquarters."
Zhao Jianguo naturally agreed with both hands and asked immediately what materials were needed.
In the following time, Wang Xiaoming temporarily lived in this camp and set up a healing formation that could treat ten ghost riders at the same time. It only took about ten minutes to restore a ghost rider who was severely corroded by evil spirits to his best condition.
During this period, he also saw some familiar ghost masters coming, such as Wei Jing, Li Jun, Fang Shiming and others. They were all transferred by the headquarters to imprison the evil spirits in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain. With the addition of these top ghost masters, the efficiency of imprisoning evil spirits has increased sharply, and the number of evil spirits in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain has continued to decrease. It is estimated that the time to completely solve this mysterious place is not far away.
But it is not always smooth. Some unlucky ghost riders encounter powerful and evil ghosts and die before they can rescue them.
There are also some powerful ghosts in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain that have broken through the restrictions of the ghost domain and come to the real world, causing a lot of unrest. Some ghosts even appear directly outside the detection range of the spirit detector, and there is no time to imprison them. They disappear in the distance and can only be imprisoned the next time the ghost kills someone and reveals his tracks.
A week later, in a conference room built in a makeshift house in the temporary camp,
"At present, most of the evil spirits in the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain have been imprisoned. I think it is time to completely eliminate the Yellow Sand evil spirits. This time I called everyone here just to..." Zhao Jianguo said, and kept taking out some intelligence data to support his judgment.
After imprisoning the Yellow Sand Ghost, they planned to head towards the underground passage and try to resolve this mysterious place in one go.
Finally, the basic reward for this mission was increased to 200 contribution points. If there were other contributions, the contribution points would be added up, which immediately attracted many people to sign up enthusiastically.
"Count me in!" A faint voice suddenly came from the conference room.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wang Xiaoming, who had been silent since the meeting began. Suddenly, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
"Professor, we absolutely cannot do that." Li Jun, Wei Jing and others immediately objected. This operation required going deep into the spiritual land and the danger was unpredictable.
Zhao Jianguo also looked embarrassed. Deep down in his heart, he didn't want Wang Xiaoming to take this risk.
However, Wang Xiaoming had made up his mind and convinced everyone to add him to the departure list. But to be on the safe side, when the groups were divided, Ye Zhen, Li Jun, Zhou Tong and he were put in the same group.
Yes, as Wang Xiaoming’s driver, Zhou Tong also joined in.
"Professor Wang, let's go too!" Seeing other ghost-riding teams leaving one after another, Ye Zhen was eager to try.
"Professor, follow me and I will protect you." Li Jun said seriously.
Zhou Tong, on the other hand, looked relaxed and unconcerned. As Wang Xiaoming's driver, he knew clearly that Wang Xiaoming's strength was underestimated by everyone. In Zhou Tong's opinion, the mysterious place in front of them would not pose any danger to Wang Xiaoming at all.
"Okay, let's go in!" Wang Xiaoming said lightly.
"Haha... I'll do it!" Ye Zhen laughed. He pointed to the sky with one hand and a dazzling ray of sunlight suddenly appeared, covering several people, and then turned into a sharp sword that pierced through the yellow sand ghost domain.
The town of Longmen, now filled with yellow sand, no longer resembles its former self. Countless buildings have been buried under the sand, leaving only undulating sand dunes.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the sky, and Wang Xiaoming and his friends appeared on a hill.
"Professor Wang, how is my use of the ghost domain?" After arriving in the ghost domain, Ye Zhen did not disperse the ghost domain lingering around him. Instead, he turned his head left and right, expanding the range of the ghost domain to several hundred meters.
Without waiting for Wang Xiaoming to speak, Ye Zhen said again: "It's a pity that I only have a pair of eyes and can only see in one direction, otherwise my ghost domain can become even bigger."
"Then do you want the professor to perform surgery on you and give you a few more pairs of eyes?" Zhou Tong said with a smile.
"Is it okay? Will it be too ugly?" Ye Zhen thought seriously.
These words made Wang Xiaoming smile and he just found it interesting.
However, Wang Xiaoming also thought of a fierce ghost from their conversation, that is, the three-headed ghost, a fierce ghost that can change its personality and possesses simple wisdom.
This time, Wang Xiaoming was not thinking about the ghost's abilities, but the appearance of the three-headed ghost. As the name suggests, this ghost has three heads.
“If we extract the characteristics of the three-headed ghost and apply them to Ye Zhen, the effect should be very good.”
The evil spirit that Wang Xiaoming helped Ye Zhen control last time had the ability to attack within line of sight, and could directly attack anything within its field of vision. So when it had three heads, he could naturally see more places.
"What am I thinking? If this were to happen, Zhenwu would become Nezha."
Wang Xiaoming quickly threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and said, "Okay! Let's get down to business first and get rid of the evil spirits here!"
Li Jun acted the fastest. He had already obtained the location of nearby evil spirits from something like a tablet in his hand. This was data monitored by a spirit detector, and then sent to each ghost-controlling team.
"The closest evil spirit to us is about three hundred meters away in the northwest."
"You don't have to do anything. I, Ye Tiandi, am here for you." Ye Zhen waved his hand and instantly went in the direction Li Jun pointed.
Li Jun and Zhou Tong both looked at Wang Xiaoming with questioning eyes.
Wang Xiaoming smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about him. With Ye Zhen's strength, he won't be in danger. We can just follow behind him."
The two nodded in agreement, followed Wang Xiaoming one after the other, and headed towards the direction marked by the evil spirit.
As the three of them arrived, they saw Ye Zhen standing on a fierce ghost with one foot, looking very proud: "Haha... I, Ye Tiandi, will capture it easily."
"Okay, everyone knows how powerful you are... put away the evil spirit first and go to the next target!" Wang Xiaoming said with a smile.
Ye Zhen did not delay. He checked the yellow paper on the evil ghost's forehead, then took out a storage bag from his arms and put the evil ghost away.
In order to imprison the evil spirit this time, the headquarters provided a large amount of supplies, including yellow paper for faking death. As long as it is pasted on the body of the evil spirit, the evil spirit can be temporarily imprisoned, saving the trouble of carrying golden utensils.
As for the storage bags, they were temporarily open for exchange, allowing many ghost riders to know about the storage bags. However, the price of 1,200 contribution points was prohibitive for most ghost riders, and only a small number of top ghost riders with powerful strength could exchange them.
In the following time, whenever they encountered a fierce ghost, Ye Zhen would take the lead and take the initiative to imprison the ghost, saving Wang Xiaoming a lot of trouble. Zhou Tong and Li Jun also felt at ease and thought that it was a good idea to team up with Ye Zhen.
