Chapter 008: Active Search for Events (5200)
Zhou Zheng's phone call got through.
However, to Li Tian's surprise, it was not Zhou Zheng who answered the phone.
"Hey, I'm Yang Jian, who are you?"
The phone was connected, and an indifferent voice came, and the owner of the voice was not Zhou Zheng, but Yang Jian.
"Yang Jian?"
Li Tian was a little surprised:
"Why are you, Zhou Zheng's call, why did you answer it?"
"Who is, Li Tian?"
Yang Jian, who was on the other side of the phone, heard Li Tian's voice and said with some uncertainty.
"That's right, it's me, what's wrong with Zhou Zheng? How could his satellite phone be in your hands? ”
Li Tian identified himself and asked with some confusion.
"Zhou Zheng is dead."
Yang Jian concisely revealed Zhou Zheng's situation.
"What? Zhou Zheng is dead? ”
When Li Tian heard this, he was suddenly a little silent:
"Did you die from the revival of a ghost?"
The last time I was in No. 7 Middle School, Zhou Zheng was fighting against the knocker, and he was in a very bad state.
If it weren't for Li Tian's help, Zhou Zheng would have been revived and died in school that time.
Now that Li Tian has experienced a horror movie, at least 10 days have passed in the real world, and it is not incomprehensible that Zhou Zheng died of a resurgence of ghosts.
"That's right, Zhou Zheng died of a powerful ghost, but I think it's not that simple."
"What's going on? Are you in Dachang now? If so, let's meet and talk about it in detail. ”
"Yes, come to me, I'll send you the location."
"Okay, I'll come over now."
After Li Tian hung up the phone, he met Yang Jian in a café along Yang Jian's position.
"Li Tian, here."
Seeing Li Tian coming, Yang Jian greeted.
"Yang Jian."
When Li Tian saw Yang Jian, he nodded, walked over and sat down.
"Zhou Zheng's death, you said it's not that simple, what do you mean?"
After Li Tiangang sat down and took a sip of coffee, he couldn't help but ask.
"That's right."
"Before Zhou Zheng died, he knew that he might revive at any time, so he intended to train me to be his heir and serve as the head of Dachang City."
"He himself is ready to step down from the post of person in charge and go to Dajing City to see if he can try to control the second ghost and solve his own problems."
"But the day after Zhou Zheng had this idea, he inexplicably revived the ghost, and the ghost baby on his body also disappeared without a trace."
"I think it's a coincidence."
Yang Jian voiced his suspicions.
"And then, do you think there's a problem, do you have any findings?"
"There are some."
"After Zhou Zheng's death, the person in charge of Dachang City was vacant, and I haven't officially reported to the headquarters because Zhou Zheng, plus I have just become a ghost rider."
"Therefore, the headquarters sent an alien ghost rider as the head of Dachang City."
"This person's name is Zhao Kaiming."
"Zhao Kaiming? Have you met this person? ”
Li Tian didn't have much impression when he heard this name, and when he talked about the ghost rider from Dachang City with Ye Jun and Ye Feng, he didn't mention this person.
Apparently pure outsiders.
"I've seen it once."
"It was this Zhao Kaiming who took the initiative to find me."
"This person is very domineering, and he behaves high-mindedly as soon as we meet, so let me be his assistant."
"Of course, I just refused."
"So the two of us have some little conflicts."
"However, it was Zhao Kaiming who came to me that time, which made me even more suspicious that if Zhou Zheng's death was really problematic, it must be inseparable from this Zhao Kaiming."
Yang Jian expressed his opinion.
However, some of what Yang Jian said was just Yang Jian's own speculation and feelings, and there was no actual evidence that Zhao Kaiming killed Zhou Zheng.
"I understand what you mean, do you suspect that Zhao Kaiming killed Zhou Zheng for the position of the person in charge of Dachang City for Zhou Zheng, so that he could take over as the person in charge of Dachang City?"
Li Tian raised his eyebrows and said.
"That's right."
Yang Jian nodded and added:
"And I think it's not just for the position of the person in charge, but also for the ghost on Zhou Zheng's body, the ghost baby has disappeared."
Yang Jian didn't say a single thing.
In his hand is a "human skin paper" that is suspected to have the ability to predict the future, and this human skin paper has revealed some information.
The ghost baby on Zhou Zheng's body is very scary and has great potential.
Therefore, Yang Jian suspected that Zhao Kaiming's real purpose was to go to the ghost baby, and the position of the person in charge was just incidental.
Of course, Yang Jian didn't say anything about this.
He didn't want Li Tian to know about the existence of "human skin paper", which was his secret.
"Is that so?"
Li Tian said thoughtfully:
"According to what you said, there is indeed something wrong with this Zhao Kaiming."
"Do you know where Zhao Kaiming is? Can you make an appointment to meet? ”
"I am not familiar with Zhao Kaiming, and I don't have his contact information, if you want to see him, I can talk to him through the operator at the headquarters."
Yang Jian thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, you can help me make an appointment with him, just say that I want to get to know him, and invite him to dinner."
Li Tian nodded and said.
For Zhou Zheng, Li Tian has a good impression, and after what happened last time, the two can be regarded as friends.
Now that Zhou Zheng is dead for no apparent reason, Li Tian still wants to check it.
Regarding Zhao Kaiming, through Yang Jian's narration, Li Tian did not have a good impression of him, but this was only through Yang Jian's narration.
If you really want to understand this person, you still have to wait until we meet.
"Okay."
Seeing Li Tian's request, Yang Jian did not refuse, took out the satellite phone, and dialed his operator.
Every Ghost Rider who joins the HQ will be equipped with a satellite phone and a dedicated operator.
Yang Jian's current identity belongs to the state of semi-joining the headquarters, and he can be regarded as a reserve personnel.
"Hey, Yang Jian, what's the matter?"
The phone was connected, and the operator of Yang Jian asked.
"Help me tell Zhao Kaiming's operator, I want to meet with Zhao Kaiming for a meal and ask him when he has time."
"Why did you suddenly find Zhao Kaiming for dinner?"
"You don't have to know why, you just need to tell me about it."
Yang Jian's tone was very domineering, and he didn't explain anything at all.
"You ......"
The operator just wanted to say something.
Yang Jian hung up the phone directly.
"A little girl, you treat her like this."
Li Tian looked at Yang Jian's appearance and suddenly felt a little funny.
"Any questions?"
Yang Jian asked with an indifferent expression.
Li Tian looked at Yang Jian's appearance, frowned and said:
"Yang Jian, I found that you have a much more indifferent personality than before, is it because of the influence of the powerful ghosts in your body?"
"Huh? Apathy? ”
Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this, felt his own situation, and said with some uncertainty:
"It seems that yes, since I mastered the ghost eye, there have been some changes in my body, and I can feel that the ghost in my body is gradually recovering."
"I estimate that even if I don't use the power of the ghost, in a few months, the ghost will completely recover."
"And a few days ago, after I used my ability a few times, this kind of ghost resurgence has become even more serious."
"Sometimes at night, I even have pain all over my body, but my body is like a ghost pressing on the bed, and I can't move at all."
"Emotional apathy is just one of the symptoms."
After listening to Yang Jian's story, Li Tian was a little surprised:
"Is the influence of the ghost so serious?"
"yes, don't you have that situation?"
"The ghost I control is different from yours, so the situation will be better, and there are no such symptoms for the time being."
"Is that so?"
Yang Jian glanced at Li Tian, although he was very interested in the ghost controlled by Li Tian, but he didn't ask any more.
After all, the friendship has not reached that point, and Li Tian will not say anything if he asks rashly, it will only make both parties very embarrassed.
Jingle bells.
Yang's satellite phone rang.
Yang Jian picked up the phone and asked:
"Is there a result?"
"That's right, Zhao Kaiming agreed, saying that he would contact you tomorrow afternoon, and he would send you the meeting place at that time."
"Okay, I got it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone again decisively.
"How is it, what did Zhao Kaiming say?"
Li Tian asked after seeing Yang Jian hang up the phone.
"He agreed, meet me tomorrow afternoon, and contact me then."
"Okay, then I'll see him tomorrow afternoon."
Li Tian nodded.
Ding dong.
At this moment, the mobile phone prompt sounded.
It is Yang Jian's personal mobile phone.
Yang Jian picked it up and looked at it, and when he saw the text message, his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong? Is there something going on? ”
Li Tian saw Yang Jian's appearance and asked curiously.
"Something happened to a friend and I needed to deal with it, so I'll go first."
Yang Jian glanced at Li Tian and got up to leave.
"Do you need my help?"
Seeing this, Li Tian asked casually.
"Not at the moment."
Yang Jian glanced at Li Tian and shook his head.
"For the time being? It seems that you are in a lot of trouble, call me at any time if you have something. ”
Li Tian was a little surprised when he heard this.
With Yang Jian's somewhat proud character, he will definitely not ask him for help in ordinary matters, unless it is something that he himself is not sure to complete, he may ask for help from others.
After all, there is a debt of gratitude for asking for help from others.
……
After separating from Yang.
Li Tian went to the Xiaoqiang Club.
Originally, I wanted to find Zhou Zheng and ask if there were any supernatural events that I could participate in.
Now that Zhou Zheng is dead, of course he can't ask.
Except for Zhou Zheng, among the people Li Tian knows, only the Xiaoqiang Club has information channels about supernatural events.
The Xiaoqiang Club is set up in a manor on the outskirts of Dachang City.
The environment in the manor is very nice, with gardens, fountains, and lawns...... There are also many Chinese-style buildings, and it can be seen that the people who designed this manor have very good taste.
"Mr. Li, welcome."
As soon as I walked to the front of a lobby, two young ladies said with smiles on their faces.
Li Tian nodded, entered the hall with a familiar car, and went directly to the fifth floor.
In the conference room on the fifth floor, several people were waiting for Li Tian.
The leader is a young man dressed in casual clothes, and at first glance he knows that he is a rich child.
The young man had a faint smile on his face, but there was always an unusually cold look in his eyes.
This person is the founder of Xiaoqiang Club - Wang Xiaoqiang.
"Li Tian is here, sit down, everyone is waiting for you."
When Wang Xiaoqiang saw Li Tian coming, the smile on his face became even worse, and he pointed to a position in the conference room and said.
Li Tian glanced at the people in the conference room.
I found that most of them were acquaintances.
Zhang Han, Ouyang Tian, He Sheng, Zhang Yiming, these four are all members of the Xiaoqiang Club.
The last time he came to Xiaoqiang Club, under the leadership of Ye Feng and Ye Jun, Li Tian got to know a few of them.
Each of them is a ghost.
As for what the hell is controlled, then I don't know, this is all a personal secret, and it is impossible to reveal it easily.
Even Ye Jun, Li Tian still didn't know what the ghost he was controlling was.
On the contrary, it was Ye Feng, who controlled the two ghosts, and Li Tian guessed the ghosts he was driving through his shots.
In addition to Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhang Han, there was also a middle-aged woman in the conference room who Li Tian didn't know.
The middle-aged woman is wearing a white coat, with a serious face and a capable and sophisticated face.
"This is Miss Sun, and this is also the customer who asked us to help deal with the supernatural event this time."
"Li Tian, didn't you call me before, didn't you ask if there was a special supernatural event, do you want to participate in it?"
"It just so happens that this time Miss Sun has entrusted us with a task, and if it is completed, there will be a good reward."
"It just so happens that you also need this, so I asked you to come directly."
"Now you can talk about that."
Wang Xiaoqiang saw Li Tian looking at the middle-aged woman, and immediately gave a brief introduction.
"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Sun Lihong. Nice to meet you. ”
Sun Lihong nodded at Li Tian.
"I'm Li Tian."
Seeing this, Li Tian also introduced himself.
Zhang Han, Ouyang Tian, He Sheng, and Zhang Yiming next to them were surprised when they heard Wang Xiaoqiang explain Li Tian's intentions.
Ordinary ghost riders can't dodge supernatural events.
How could there be someone like Li Tian who rushed to participate in supernatural events.
The reason why they participated in the supernatural event this time was because of the generous reward of this mission, which they could not refuse.
"Can I take a look at the information on your mission?"
Li Tian didn't care what the others thought, he looked at Sun Lihong and asked.
"Absolutely."
When Sun Lihong heard this, she handed a printed copy of the information to Li Tian.
Li Tian took the information and looked through it carefully.
The profile is simple.
Only the location of the mission was indicated, which was a village on the outskirts of Dachang City.
The name of the village is Huanggang Village.
It is said that this village is haunted.
And their task is to deal with the ghosts in Huanggang Village.
"Do you have more details?"
Li Tian looked at this humble information and frowned a little.
"No, that's all we have in our hands."
Sun Lihong shook her head.
"Okay."
Li Tian shrugged his shoulders helplessly when he heard this:
"Then let me ask, you just said that there is a good reward for completing the task, what is this reward?"
"As long as we participate in the mission, we can provide a reward of 50 million."
"If you can complete the task, the reward will be increased by another 50 million."
"In addition to that, we can also get our company's method of controlling the second ghost."
Facing Li Tian's question, Sun Lihong replied unhurriedly.
"How to harness the second ghost?"
Hearing this reward, Li Tian was shocked.
He glanced at Zhang Han, Ouyang Tian, He Sheng, and Zhang Yiming.
No wonder Zhang Han and the four of them participated in this task together, just for this reward.
Previously, Li Tian had learned through Ye Jun that the biggest drawback of the ghost handler.
That is the ghost in the body, and the ghost will revive.
A ghost rider who has mastered a powerful ghost, even if he doesn't use his ability, can only live for half a year at most.
If the ability is used, the time will only be shorter.
If you want to prolong your life, you can only risk harnessing the second ghost.
But to control the second ghost, it is definitely not blindly controlled, otherwise it is just looking for death.
And the company behind this woman named Sun Lihong has mastered the method of controlling the second ghost.
It can be seen that the company behind her is not simple.
"With such a big reward, this village must be very dangerous, right?"
"You must have let others test you before you sent us the task, right? That's why such a generous reward is given. ”
"Since there has been a temptation, can't the information of the temptation be shared?"
Li Tian understood in his heart.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
The reward is also certainly proportional to the danger.
can make the company behind Sun Lihong come up with such a high remuneration, which shows that the value of this village far exceeds those rewards.
In the same way, the high remuneration indicates that the danger level of the village is also extremely high.
"I'm sorry, we don't know about this, I'm just following the company's requirements and asking the club to issue a task."
Sun Lihong shook her head and said:
"As for whether to accept the task or not, you need to think about it yourself."
Li Tian saw that he couldn't ask anything from Sun Lihong, so he could only look at Zhang Han and the others:
"Are you all ready to participate?"
"Yes, there is no way, the ghosts on our bodies are about to recover, so we can only fight this one."
Zhang Han and the others looked at each other, and they were all helpless.
Nor would they have been able to take on this mission with a severe lack of information if they had not been pushed to the edge of a cliff.
"Think about it, and if you're willing to participate in this mission, please contact me as soon as possible."
When Sun Lihong saw that the conversation was almost over, she left a business card for Li Tian and the others, and then left.
"Brother Qiang, do you know about the company behind this woman? Her company said that there is a way to control the second ghost, is it reliable? ”
Seeing this Sun Lihong leaving, Li Tian looked at Wang Xiaoqiang and asked.
"The company behind this woman is said to have a relationship with the headquarters, and since they say that there is a way to control the second ghost, there is a high probability that there is."
"They wouldn't dare deceive us so many ghost riders."
"The wrath of a ghost rider, especially the wrath of a ghost rider on the verge of recovery, is not so easy to bear."
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and replied.
"Does it have anything to do with headquarters? So that's it, understood. ”
When Li Tian heard this, he was suddenly a little stunned.
If it is a non-governmental organization, Li Tian is still a little worried.
However, it still has this credibility when it is linked to an official organization like the headquarters.
"Now that you've decided to take part in this mission, when are you going to start?"
Thinking of this, Li Tian looked at Zhang Han and the others and asked.
"Are you going to be involved too?"
Several people glanced at each other, looked at Li Tian and asked.
"Hmm."
Li Tian nodded.
"That's great, with your participation, our operation this time has a much higher probability of success."
Hearing that Li Tian was also ready to participate, Zhang Han and the four of them suddenly became excited.
Li Tian's ability, they know something.
Being able to survive in the A-class knocker event, and survive in the way of the main force, is completely a manifestation of ability.
With such a strong reinforcement as Li Tian, Zhang Han and the four of them have improved their confidence a lot.
"We're going to go on a mission in three days, what do you think?"
