Chapter 233 Returning to Headquarters and Gold Shortage

"Let's go!"

Looking at the plane that had returned to normal, Wang Xiaoming turned and left.

Zhou Tong was stunned by the sight of time going backwards. He followed behind Wang Xiaoming, feeling extremely excited and unable to calm down.

OMG!

Professor Wang can control time and bring the dead back to life. Could he have become a god?
This was the second time Wang Xiaoming used time to restart and save people. The first time was in an underground passage in a mysterious place. Zhou Tong did not follow him because his strength was not up to the mark, so naturally he did not see it and did not know about it.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Tong could no longer imagine how Wang Xiaoming did it. This was beyond his imagination of the ghost rider's ability. He knew that Wang Xiaoming was strong, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.

While feeling shocked, Zhou Tong was also proud of himself for working for Wang Xiaoming.

After all, by following a strong man, he can see a wider world and learn more knowledge.

The most important thing is that he can get stronger.

"I don't ask to reach Professor Wang's level, just a little bit worse is fine. Oh, the professor also promised me that he would help me control the third evil spirit, but I don't know when that will be."

Zhou Tong was having a mess of thoughts and was daydreaming when the two of them arrived at the first class cabin.

"Zhou Tong, tell the headquarters what happened here and ask them to calm down the chaos that may occur later." Sitting back in his seat, Wang Xiaoming thought for a while and said.

Although the restart capability is strong, it is limited in range and it is impossible to cover the entire airport.

Wang Xiaoming only restarted the time within the plane, and people outside the plane were not affected.

Someone died on the plane just now. The crew probably passed the news to the airport long ago. Now that time has been restarted and everything on the plane has returned to normal, the airport will soon realize something is wrong.

In order to avoid these troubles, notifying the headquarters is a must. The headquarters is the most professional in dealing with such issues.

Zhou Tong went to a secluded place to make a phone call and had not returned yet. The plane was still in contact with the tower as usual, but the tower immediately discovered something was wrong.

Just now they said that there was a murder on the plane and the flight needed to be temporarily suspended. How come now they are acting like nothing happened and have applied for take-off?
The two sides communicated with each other, and the captain said that no murder had occurred and everything was normal on the plane, but every contact between the plane and the tower was recorded, which directly proved that the captain was lying.

Soon they discovered something wrong, that is, the time on the plane was about two minutes slow. Although the system quickly adjusted the time, it was all recorded.

When Zhou Tong came back, the news that the plane's take-off was delayed was being broadcasted on the radio.

At the tower, two staff members looked at the information sent by the plane as if they had seen a ghost. They checked it several times but could not figure out the time changes on the plane.

The most important murder case was gone, and the passengers were all fine, as if what had just happened was just a dream.

"Just now we got a message from the ground crew that everything is normal on H9527. Could it be that we just saw a ghost?"

An airport staff member was speechless, he really couldn't understand it.

"If you can't figure it out, forget about it for now. Everything is normal on H9527 now. Should we let it take off?"

"This... the problem hasn't been figured out yet. Will it be dangerous to take off?"

As the two were discussing, a phone call suddenly came in from a leader at the airport. One of them immediately answered the phone and received the latest instructions.

"Don't worry about H9527, and keep today's information secret. Don't ask about it, and don't spread it."

After hanging up the phone, the two looked at each other. Before they reported the information here, their superiors knew about H9527 and severely warned them not to get involved. It seems that this matter is very complicated!

"H9527 took off normally...H9527 took off normally..."

With the clearance from the tower, the plane successfully took off and headed north after a run-up.

Finally, we landed at Dajing Airport at noon.

At this time, one part of the airport had been temporarily closed. When H9527 landed, a row of black cars immediately followed and parked neatly on the side of the aircraft cabin door.

"What is this? Is there something wrong with our plane?" a woman said in surprise, pointing out the window.

Her husband shook his head: "It shouldn't be. It looks like there is some important person on the plane, and these cars are here to pick up the important person."

The woman stood up and looked around curiously, then sat down and said, "Is there another important person on this plane? I don't think it's possible."

"Silly! He is a big shot, so he must have been sitting in first class." The woman's husband laughed.

The vehicles outside the plane gradually attracted the passengers' attention, and they all discussed what had happened.

The maintenance crew also received the news in advance. Some of them hurried out to comfort the passengers, while the other part, led by the chief flight attendant, came to the first class cabin.

There were only two passengers in the first-class cabin, Wang Xiaoming and Zhou Tong, and they were just about to get up.

Seeing the chief flight attendant leading two stewardesses up, Zhou Tong took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"My two leaders, the Criminal Police Headquarters has sent a car to pick you up." The chief flight attendant said respectfully.

As the largest violent organization in Asia, the Asia Police Headquarters has gradually become low-key in the world of ordinary people due to the revival of the supernatural, but it is still notorious.

After receiving the order, the maintenance crew immediately determined that Wang Xiaoming and Zhou Tong were Interpol officers out on a mission, which was why they were so nervous and respectful.

After all, these international criminal police have certain legal immunities and law enforcement powers, which is equivalent to the imperial envoys in ancient times, acting on behalf of the will of the state.

"Since someone answered the phone, let's go!" Wang Xiaoming said to Zhou Tong who was looking at him.

Zhou Tong nodded, stepped aside and made way.

At this time, the maintenance team members realized that this fair-skinned young man was the leader.

When I stepped out of the plane, I saw a dozen black cars parked next to the plane. Many soldiers with guns got out of the cars and looked around vigilantly.

"Welcome back, Professor!"

As the voice came, deputy captain Shen Liang walked up quickly with a look of joy on his face.

Wang Xiaoming shook hands with Shen Liang, chatted briefly, and then got in the car. After he got in, the others quickly got in the car and started driving, one after another, like a winding black snake, heading out of the airport.

At this time, on the H9527 plane, the man from the couple laughed and said, "See, I was right! We are here to pick up the important people."

"Yes, yes, yes...you are right!" the woman said, rolling her eyes.

They were not the only ones who saw Wang Xiaoming leave, but not everyone was as calm and indifferent as they were. Someone immediately protested:
"Why let those two people get off the plane early? It's not fair!"

When someone took the lead, others followed suit. The flight attendant who was maintaining order gradually lost control of the situation and finally notified the chief flight attendant to come.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I am the chief purser for this flight. If you have any questions, you can tell me." As soon as the chief purser arrived, he tried to calm the passengers' anger.

This statement calmed down the passengers who wanted to ask for an explanation. A father with a child immediately squeezed to the front and said angrily:

"We are all passengers, but you are discriminating against each other. I will report you."

The flight attendant was not panicked, for she knew that most people were just feeling a little uncomfortable, and if no one brought it up, the matter would probably just pass.

The situation was not too bad now, so the flight attendant proposed a solution: "I am very sorry for the bad experience this time. To express my apology, I will take you to get a beautiful gift after you get off the plane."

"Who cares about your gifts? I demand that you refund our tickets and compensate us for the time we lost while waiting here. Also, you need to publicly apologize to us."

The boy's father didn't wait for anyone else to react and continued, "Who was that person who just left? You need to make it public."

Seeing that this person was a bit difficult to deal with, the flight attendant frowned and said, "I can't meet your requests, but I can tell you that the two people who left early are Interpol, and the one who came to pick them up is Interpol headquarters."

"They have relevant privileges, and we are doing this in accordance with regulations."

"Interpol?!"

"No wonder! Never mind. Since it's them, it's understandable."

“Nice gift too!”

When the passengers heard that it was Interpol, they were all shocked. Obviously, they had heard of the other party's notoriety. In addition to the notoriety, they also respected them. Interpol is an international organization dedicated to combating crime at home and abroad, and it has a very good reputation among the people.

This trip must be to carry out a mission, and as citizens of Renguo, they have the responsibility and obligation to cooperate.

So among the passengers who stood up to ask for an explanation, most of them immediately said forget it, leaving the boy's father alone standing in the front, looking very embarrassed.

"Brother, since Interpol is performing its duties, we can't be petty. After all, Interpol is also trying to protect social security."

Seeing that someone was trying to persuade him, the boy's father gave in, but he still muttered that even if it was Interpol, he might not be performing official duties. What if he just came back from traveling?
On the way to the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming learned from Shen Liang about the current situation of the headquarters, both good and bad.

The good news is that the strength of the headquarters is steadily increasing, and whenever supernatural incidents occur across the country, they are resolved by local persons in charge as quickly as possible.

The whole world has been in chaos due to the frequent occurrence of supernatural events. Countries like Jianguo and Delian are not immune. Only Renguo can control the situation and allow ordinary people to live and work in peace without being disturbed by evil spirits.

The bad news is that due to the continuous purchase of large quantities of evil spirits, the headquarters now has insufficient gold reserves. Currently, the headquarters has slowed down the purchase of evil spirits and started purchasing large quantities of gold instead.

But the effect is not obvious. The value of gold has been rising, and it is becoming more and more difficult to acquire it.

Headquarters, Minister's Office,
Wang Xiaoming met Cao Yanhua, and the two sat down separately and started chatting.

Wang Xiaoming talked about some happy things that happened to him outside, and Cao Yanhua also expressed his envy. Since becoming the minister, he has been so busy every day that his hair has been falling out in clumps.

"On the way back, I heard Shen Liang say that the headquarters is very short of gold now?" Wang Xiaoming suddenly asked during the chat.

Cao Yanhua nodded with a wry smile. The headquarters' gold reserves ranked among the top three in the world, but no matter how much, the quantity was limited.

The exchange of ghost riders, the need to suppress evil spirits, research in laboratories, where does gold not need to be found?
"How much is missing?" Wang Xiaoming asked calmly.

"At the current rate of use, it can only last for a month at most." Cao Yanhua explained: "I am ready to include the fake death yellow paper in the ranks of imprisoning evil spirits. With the special ability of the fake death yellow paper, at least one-third of the gold can be freed up."

The yellow paper of fake death can make the evil ghost fall into a state of fake death, which is equivalent to imprisonment in disguise. However, the yellow paper of fake death is just an ordinary supernatural item after all. The yellow paper of fake death is ineffective against some special evil ghosts or evil ghosts with powerful supernatural powers.

Being able to replace one third of the gold is already the best case scenario. If you are unlucky, you may not even be able to replace a quarter of the gold.

"Leave this to me!" Wang Xiaoming took a sip of tea. "I have a way to get some gold."

Cao Yanhua asked in confusion: "Professor, the headquarters needs a lot of gold. Where are you going to get so much gold?"

Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said calmly: "This is a secret. It is not convenient to tell you. I will get gold, and a lot of it, more than you can imagine."

Where to get gold? Of course, alchemy.

After being promoted to a Sequence 4 alchemist, he successfully experimented with his alchemical ability. Refining gold was not difficult for Wang Xiaoming. As long as there was enough spiritual supply, he could even turn a small mountain into a mountain of gold.

After leaving the office, Wang Xiaoming and Zhou Tong came to the ground laboratory and met Chen Wei guarding the door.

Although she is less than 1.5 meters tall, people often ignore her height because of Chen Wei's deliberate dressing.

She combed her hair into a ball at the back of her head and wore frameless glasses, looking mature and intellectual.

Wang Xiaoming walked up with a smile and rubbed Chen Wei's hair hard. When Chen Wei pushed his hand away, it was too late. Her hair was already messed up.

"Professor..." Chen Wei stamped her feet anxiously.

After some simple playfulness, the unfamiliarity after not seeing each other for several months disappeared in an instant. Wang Xiaoming walked into the laboratory and asked Chen Wei to contact the logistics department to send the latest batch of evil spirits to prepare for refining into supernatural weapons.

This is exactly one of the purposes of his return this time. The supernatural weapons refined by him will eventually become much smaller in size, which will save the headquarters a lot of gold.

As for refining gold, Wang Xiaoming decided to refine it secretly at night. He did not let other people know for the time being. On the one hand, he did not want to explain it over and over again. On the other hand, this ability somewhat challenged the common sense of a ghost rider and might expose some secrets.

Because gold would not be affected by the power of evil spirits, and now that he can use the power of evil spirits to create gold, it will inevitably make people suspicious, and they may even suspect that he is not using the power of evil spirits.

"I'll wait until I'm stronger before I can refine gold!"
