Chapter 94 The conflict gradually arises
Taking the e-liquid, Zhao Jianguo showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face: "I'm sorry to bother you during this period of time."
"It's not a big deal," Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "I'm also a member of the headquarters, and I'm just doing what I can."
"The professor is right. I was wrong."
Zhao Jianguo paused and continued, "The international situation has been a bit chaotic recently, and there are some dangers outside. Professor, you must not leave the headquarters during this period."
"What happened again?" Wang Xiaoming frowned.
"Regarding the spiritual gunpowder, the five ministries have officially responded," Zhao Jianguo said, "rejecting the cooperation applications from the German Union and the Jianguo."
"The Fifth Department gave a result so quickly?" Wang Xiaoming was a little surprised. "I thought it would take some time."
"Actually, this incident is related to the ghost rider from Xiaoyue Country yesterday. The headquarters has already found out why Zhang Wencheng attacked and killed Zuo Wei, the person in charge of Dakun City."
Zhao Jianguo explained: "When the headquarters was clearing out the Sun Moon Sect some time ago, they killed a lot of foreign ghost riders who joined the sect, including Zhang Wencheng's only relative.
Zhang Wencheng attacked Zuo Wei in revenge against the headquarters. By the way, Zuo Wei also participated in the mission to wipe out the Sun Moon Sect. It is probably because of this reason that he was targeted by Zhang Wencheng. "
Cao Yang interrupted and said, "The whole incident is too reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you will find many things that cannot be explained."
Zhao Jianguo glared at Cao Yang and continued, "According to our investigation, Zhang Wencheng has not been a ghost rider for long, and has not joined any forces. He is at most an ordinary ghost rider.
Even if it was a sneak attack on Zuo Wei, it would not be to the extent that Zuo Wei could not even send out a message for help.
Moreover, when we checked the evil ghost in Zhang Wencheng's body afterwards, we found that he was actually carrying a supernatural weapon that specifically targeted the spiritual consciousness of the ghost handler. Most ghost handlers could not survive a single encounter.
Such a targeted spiritual weapon is not something an ordinary ghost hunter can come up with."
"Because there were many suspicious points in this matter, the headquarters directly contacted the Xiaoyue government to retrieve information, and finally caught the tails of some forces behind it and confirmed that someone was behind it."
"Given that this incident happened at this critical time, the five ministries suspect that Zhang Wencheng is backed by Delian and Jianguo, so the higher-ups are not prepared to play along with them any more."
After listening to Zhao Jianguo's explanation, Wang Xiaoming had a general understanding of the current situation.
The five ministries obviously did not want to trade the supernatural gunpowder, but facing the other two major countries in the world, the five ministries could not directly refuse and could only pretend to be willing to negotiate.
Now that the person in charge of Dakun City has been assassinated, the headquarters has discovered that a powerful force is behind this. The Fifth Department has simply stopped pretending and used this incident as an excuse to come clean and refuse to cooperate.
It may also be that they realized that further delaying would not be able to stop the attempts of the German Union and the Jianguo, so the five departments showed their cards and decided to fight hard.
But no matter what, the real test will be revealed in the end.
Wang Xiaoming sensed the number of completely destroyed ghost-exorcising bells and discovered that fifteen had accumulated over the past few days.
So he restored the fifteen copies and passed them to Zhao Jianguo.
"This is the ghost-exorcism bell that was damaged recently. I have restored it. I think you will need it next."
Zhao Jianguo smiled and nodded: "Professor, you gave me these ghost-exorcising bells just in time. The headquarters will use them just in time for an operation."
As he was speaking, Wang Xiaoming's phone rang. It was the leaf ghost from warehouse No. 1 that had been delivered.
Seeing this, Zhao Jianguo and Cao Yang said goodbye and left without disturbing him.
The person who came to deliver the goods was a young soldier. Wang Xiaoming had met him in Warehouse No. 1. After signing for the goods, the young soldier handed over a silver briefcase.
Back in the lab, he opened the suitcase and inside was a flat gold box.
Because the leaf ghost was only the size of a palm, it was imprisoned in a small sealed golden box this time.
After getting the golden box, Wang Xiaoming took the ritual materials and entered the lounge without surveillance again. He summoned the Void Gate and threw the sealed golden box in.
The teleportation ended, and the illusory door disappeared. The Leaf Ghost was teleported to the Wilderness of Knowledge.
Subsequently,
Wang Xiaoming took four steps in the open space, chanting prayers silently, and his spirit instantly left his body and came to the wilderness of knowledge.
In the black tower at the heart of the wilderness, a golden box is rising and falling in the light mist.
Wang Xiaoming moved his mind, and the golden box was instantly opened, revealing the purple-black leaves outside.
The leaves moved without wind, as if they felt the gaze and began to shake towards Wang Xiaoming, and the evil spirit began to release its ability.
in a blink,
The surrounding environment changed. The leaves disappeared, the black tower disappeared, and even the wilderness of knowledge disappeared. Wang Xiaoming found himself in a dark forest with lush branches and leaves.
"break!"
Wang Xiaoming frowned slightly and mobilized the power of the wilderness of knowledge.
The dark forest scene was forcibly dispersed before it stabilized, and the original scene returned to my eyes. The purple-black leaves seemed to be lacking water and became a little wilted.
Wang Xiaoming looked again and the purple-black leaves had no reaction at all. He could easily see the purple-black veins on the leaves.
A quick appraisal confirmed that the leaf ghost had crashed.
However, the Eye of Prying Secrets still could not see the leaf ghost clearly. Apparently, even in a frozen state, the ghost still had certain instincts.
Wang Xiaoming didn't care about this. What he valued was the leaf ghost's ability to block people's eyes.
The change in the environment just now was because the leaf ghost sensed the gaze and instinctively used its blinding ability to block the line of sight, making it impossible for people to see the true appearance of things.
This ability is exactly the opposite of the Eye of Prying Eyes, which is also the main reason why Wang Xiaoming can control the leaf ghost.
Putting the purple-black leaves and other evil spirits together, Wang Xiaoming returned to the real world.
He began to mobilize the power of the leaf ghosts through the wilderness of knowledge and study the nature of these ghost powers.
The killing rule of the leaf ghost is to see it. When you see the ghost, you have been marked by it.
After a brief exploration, Wang Xiaoming quickly determined the abilities of the evil spirit, which were to perceive vision and manipulate the senses.
When using the Leaf Ghost's ability, he can sense other people's gazes towards him and manipulate their senses through their sight.
Sight is the medium for leaf ghosts.
After figuring out the abilities of the leaf ghost, Wang Xiaoming began to try to use the blinding ability to block the Prying Eye.
But it is obviously not that easy. The Eye of Prying Eyes is a special ability he obtained after being promoted to a wizard, not that he has grown another pair of eyes.
Ever since he had the Eye of Peeping, the world in his eyes seemed to be divided into two layers, one was the world seen by the naked eye, and the other was the world seen by the Eye of Peeping.
When he blocks his Eye of Prying Secrets, he also blocks the world seen by his naked eyes, which is equivalent to him becoming a blind person.
After all, the leaf ghost's ability is external and difficult to control precisely.
However, he soon got an inspiration, thinking of the time when the No. 1 library and the leaf ghost crashed. At that time, when he looked at the leaf ghost, only the vision of the Eye of Prying was affected.
Based on this inspiration, Wang Xiaoming improved the method and after a few simple experiments, he successfully developed a way to close the Eye of Prying Eyes.
