Chapter 242: Emerging Results

"Why doesn't the professor just take Zhou Zheng away?" Zhou Tong asked in confusion: "With the professor's prestige, Zhou Zheng will definitely not refuse."

Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "This involves another thing you need to do. When you return to the headquarters, go collect Zhou Zheng's information for me. I need to understand his specific situation before considering what to do next."

Of course, there are some considerations that Wang Xiaoming did not mention, that is, his current status is too high and Zhou Zheng’s strength is too weak.

If you suddenly show goodwill to Zhou Zheng, it may very likely bring him disaster.

The ghost baby has strong growth potential, but you also have to give it time to grow!

No, it should be called a starving ghost. The baby is just the first stage of the starving ghost, and it will grow into a teenager, a teenager and an adult.

When starving ghosts become adults, they will evolve into ghost domains, and can also gain corresponding ghost abilities by devouring evil ghosts. The more ghosts they eat, the more terrifying they become.

"Speaking of which, this starving ghost is actually very similar to the ghost messenger. They both strengthen themselves by capturing other evil spirits, and their growth limit is almost invisible."

In the haunted taxi, Wang Xiaoming fell into recollection. He once got some information about ghost riders in the Tang and Song dynasties from the wish ghosts. Among them were two powerful ghost riders who had reached the limit.

They are Li Yanshou, codenamed King of Sand, and Zhong Youdao, codenamed Zhong Kui.

The description of Zhong Youdao's abilities is like a combination of a ghost messenger and a starving ghost. In the remaining memories of the wish ghost, all one knows is that Zhong Youdao loves to eat ghosts and is ferocious and evil. No matter how terrifying the ghost is, it will surrender when it sees him.

"Could it be that these two evil spirits were once controlled by Zhong Youdao? But why are they so weak now?"

Wang Xiaoming frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Soon an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of Warehouse No. 1, the mysterious place in the real world where a thousand evil spirits could be suppressed at no cost.

He had always suspected that this place was related to Zhong Youdao.
'Could it be that at the end of his life, Zhong Youdao separated all of his spiritual powers and used some unknown method to create a strange place like No. 1 Warehouse, so the powerless ghost messengers and starving ghosts degenerated into their original appearance.'

'The starving ghost turned into a baby, and the ghost returned to the coffin to conceive!'

This is a possibility, but it has been too long and the truth has long been lost in time. Wang Xiaoming shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He began to consider how to carry out the research on the ghost messenger.

An hour later, Wang Xiaoming arrived at the headquarters safely. Nothing unexpected happened along the way, except that the ghost taxi was a little out of control halfway. He took action personally and forged it again, and the taxi finally behaved itself.

When we returned to the headquarters, the sun had already set.

Before Wang Xiaoming could take a break, Cao Yanhua called him.

After a round of greetings, he asked, "Professor, there is an anomaly of daytime stars appearing in Dachang City. I heard Feng Quan say that it was you who caused it?"

"Yes, it was me!" Wang Xiaoming said cheerfully, "This is the first time I used this ability. I didn't master the power well, so the strange phenomenon occurred. I guess many people have heard about this incident by now, right?"

“Hahaha!” Cao Yanhua laughed bitterly, “More than that… The whole country is going crazy now! Many people took photos and videos and posted them online. Now the whole network is discussing this matter.”

"I didn't think it through!" Wang Xiaoming said with a smile, "The headquarters must be under a lot of pressure right now!"

"It's okay. We have arranged for experts to come on stage to explain. We will also announce some major events later. It won't be long before the public's attention will be diverted."

Cao Yanhua continued, "I was just a little curious, so I called to ask. The ability the professor displayed is truly magical."

Wang Xiaoming frowned slightly and roughly understood what Cao Yanhua meant. Is he beginning to doubt that the abilities I display are different from those of ghosts and evil spirits?

But that's true. He never deliberately avoided people when he used his extraordinary abilities. The five clones before must have shocked many people.

Soon, Wang Xiaoming regained his composure. What could he do even if he was discovered?

Not to mention that his strength has already ranked among the strongest in the world, just talking about his current status, the headquarters can have the current power, almost all relying on his strength, all ghost riders have to owe him a debt, who dares to touch him? Aren't you afraid that the headquarters will collapse?
Of course, these are the worst ideas, and only stupid people would do this. The biggest possibility is that the higher-ups will keep a tacit understanding with him and will not delve into the matter, only test him at most.

"The abilities of evil spirits are varied and bizarre, and some people find them hard to understand. This time when I went to Dachang City, I got an evil spirit that broke my cognition." Wang Xiaoming directly changed the subject and did not respond to the topic raised by Cao Yanhua.

"Oh...what kind of evil spirit is that? It actually made the professor have such an evaluation of it." Cao Yanhua asked without bringing up the previous topic.

"It can suppress other evil spirits without any solution, and it can also capture evil spirits to enhance its own abilities."

"There are actually such evil spirits in the world. If we let them grow up, wouldn't they be invincible?"

"almost!"

"Fortunately, the professor took action, otherwise this evil spirit would..."

The two chatted on the phone for a long time and only hung up when it was completely dark.

In the office, Cao Yanhua sighed and dialed the phone in his hand. After the call was connected, he recounted his conversation with Wang Xiaoming in detail. After several inquiries, he hung up the phone tiredly.

……

Back in the bedroom and lying on the bed, Wang Xiaoming took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, and his consciousness followed the inexplicable connection to the wilderness of knowledge.

A stone chair emerged from the calm and monotonous sea of ​​light, lifting up Wang Xiaoming who had just appeared.

Having just obtained the ghost messenger and the ghost coffin, he could hardly resist studying them.

With a casual wave of his hand, the ghost coffin and ghost catcher floating in the corner instantly appeared in front of him.

At this time, the ghost had completely frozen and did not respond to Wang Xiaoming's actions. It should be because he had been forcibly revived in the Wilderness of Knowledge before, which triggered the automatic counterattack of the Wilderness of Knowledge, resulting in this end.

"That's good, it saves me the trouble!"

Wang Xiaoming smiled indifferently, opened his Eyes of Prying Eyes, and began to analyze the mysterious runes on the ghost messenger's body.

A night passed without incident.

There were birds singing outside the window in the early morning. Wang Xiaoming stretched his muscles, washed up, turned on his phone and started checking the latest news.

He found that although Dachang City's Daytime Star was still on the hot search list, it was no longer at the top. When he clicked on it, he found that most people were discussing astronomical knowledge, which was obscure and difficult to understand.

It must be that the headquarters' actions were effective.

"Yes, the headquarters is indeed professional." Wang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction. As the domestic agency in charge of ghost hunters, the headquarters is also responsible for the post-event handling of supernatural events, including how to ensure that supernatural events do not cause panic after being discovered by the public.

Although the commotion caused by Wang Xiaoming this time was quite large, it was essentially no different from some previous supernatural incidents.

Ding Dong!

The phone suddenly rang. It was Zhou Tong who sent a file. When I clicked on it, it was Zhou Zheng's detailed information.

It records Zhou Zheng's experiences from childhood to adulthood, and also includes the most recent psychological assessment report.

"I didn't expect Zhou Zheng's parents to be police officers. No wonder! No wonder!"

After reading the information, Wang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction. Zhou Zheng was indeed a promising talent.

"If you have a good heart and do good deeds, good results will naturally come. I want someone who can maintain a kind heart even in times of crisis. Zhou Zheng may be regarded as a saint by others, but to me, he is the most reliable warrior."

Zhou Zhengneng was able to maintain his self-awareness after controlling the evil spirit, which is a rare quality.

"If I could... huh?!"

Wang Xiaoming was stunned at first, then he smiled: "Great, we got results so quickly."

In the laboratory, the lights are on.

The two clones of Wang Xiaoming were busy day and night, working on a compass car. This was a supernatural item that Wang Xiaoming got from the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Southeast Asia. It had the ability to see through the illusions of the ghost realm and open up a road.

It is similar to the ability of a high-intensity flashlight, but not exactly the same. The high-intensity flashlight relies on Wang Xiaoming's built-in teleportation spell to take a detour from the spiritual place to achieve the ability to break through the ghost domain.

It can be said that as long as you have a high-intensity flashlight in your hand, you will not be trapped. However, if you are trapped in a place that does not correspond to a supernatural place, the high-intensity flashlight will be useless.

The Compass Chariot is different. It is a supernatural prop designed specifically for ghost realms. It has extremely strong invasion and breakthrough capabilities, just like the yellow mud ghost driven by Wei Jing, which can invade ghost realms stronger than his level. It is suitable for all occasions.

The disadvantage is that its ability has a threshold. If the opponent's ghost domain is too powerful, it may be impossible to break through.

The two clones suddenly stopped, each holding a compass car in their hands. Compared with the original, the newly made compass car was dozens of times smaller and as small as a figurine.

"Not bad!" said one of the clones.

"More than good! Its power is obviously 30% higher than the original version, and its size is also much smaller. It can be held in one hand." said another clone.

"Haha... the main body will be very surprised to see this. It's worth it that we have been working for so long without a break."

As the two were talking, an arm appeared out of thin air, and then the whole body. Wang Xiaoming actually teleported his body directly over through the wilderness of knowledge.

"You and I are one, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After appearing, Wang Xiaoming directly snatched the compass car from one of the clones, and while complaining about his own clone, he identified the compass car in his hand.

Although the relevant information had been identified through his clone, Wang Xiaoming still habitually identified it again.

The result was the same, he successfully replicated and upgraded the Compass Cart.

The upgraded compass car not only has greatly enhanced power, but is also easy to carry. It's just a little troublesome to manufacture, so Wang Xiaoming has to do it himself.

"For the time being, I can only let my clone take charge. Once I figure out the method of controlling evil spirits with a contract, I'll have a solution." Wang Xiaoming thought to himself.

The production of the compass car requires corresponding materials, but due to the long time ago, the headquarters is unable to find the materials needed to make the compass car.

So Wang Xiaoming took a different approach and transformed the ability of the compass chariot into magic, and then used his experience in making magic scrolls and forging extraordinary weapons to create the current compass chariot.

Time passed, and half a month passed. During this period, Wang Xiaoming's research results began to explode.
The day after the successful replication of the south-pointing chariot, the bronze lamp obtained from the underground passage was also successfully replicated. This is a method of imprisoning evil spirits for a long time, and unless there are any accidents, it can last for thousands of years.

Soon after, the fourth generation upgraded version of the spirit detecting instrument was also developed. Even if the ghost rider took the hidden spirit powder, it would be detected. In addition, Wang Xiaoming also upgraded the detection range of the spirit detecting instrument from ten kilometers to twenty kilometers.

Wang Xiaoming still remembers the surprised expression on Cao Yanhua's face when he handed the data from the fourth-generation spirit measuring instrument to the other party.

The reason why the domestic supernatural world is so peaceful nowadays is, on the one hand, because of the strong strength of the headquarters, and on the other hand, because of the monitoring of the spirit measuring instrument.

Because of the spirit-detecting instrument, some ghost riders who want to do evil have become fearful. They dare not provoke the headquarters and can only obey the rules set by the headquarters.

The period when the spirit-detecting instrument appeared was the most peaceful time for ghost hunters in the country, until the appearance of the soul-hiding powder. This thing could avoid detection by the spirit-detecting instrument, which gave some people courage.

Although the headquarters has designated this substance as a banned item, it is unable to completely cut off the circulation of Hidden Spirit Powder.

This gave Cao Yanhua a headache. As long as the number of hidden spirit powders continued to increase, there would be ghost riders constantly causing trouble in the country.

Wang Xiaoming's upgraded spirit-testing instrument directly solves the pain point of this matter. How could Cao Yanhua not be excited?
There are also the ghost messenger and the ghost coffin, which Wang Xiaoming has studied thoroughly. The ghost domain ability of the ghost coffin has brought Wang Xiaoming a lot of inspiration, making his ghost domain spells more varied.

As for the ghost catcher, its ability is too special and not suitable to be created into spells. Wang Xiaoming plans to try to use the ghost catcher's ability to make some props to see the effect.

In addition to these, Wang Xiaoming also took out all the special evil spirits he had collected before and studied them.

Because of the existence of five clones, Wang Xiaoming's research efficiency is very high. He can basically study a fierce ghost thoroughly in one day.

Among these evil ghosts, two of them gave Wang Xiaoming a big surprise. They were the manhole cover ghost that could bring bad luck to people and the shadow ghost that hid the evil ghost in the shadows.

A supernatural incident occurred in which a ghost from a manhole cover came to Dajing City. Later, Li Jun and Ah Hong found the ghost with the help of a spirit-detecting instrument.

This evil ghost is very special. It can manipulate luck, make the surrounding environment disgust the target, and spontaneously create coincidences to attack the target. This is somewhat similar to a movie he saw in his previous life, Final Destination.

Through studying this evil ghost, Wang Xiaoming created a bad luck spell that could make the enemy despised by heaven and earth and have infinite bad luck.

Wang Xiaoming likes this spell very much because it is very concealed and can kill people without anyone noticing.
