Chapter 499: The Essence of the Headquarters

The plan for the meeting was roughly discussed.

Jiang Shangbai's coffin nail plan has been put on hold for the time being, and Professor Wang's ghost painting plan is currently being requisitioned, but this is only one of the options, and Cao Yanhua hopes that others can continue to think about other plans, even if it is good as an alternative, so that they will not be unable to deal with problems after they occur.

However, the specific implementation method of the plan was not discussed at the meeting, and it is expected that a group of think tanks behind the headquarters will give satisfactory answers, and there is no need for others to worry about this.

But even the best plan needs to be implemented.

It is estimated that there will be a few unlucky ghost riders who will be assigned tasks in the future.

Yang Jian firmly believes that there is absolutely no self in this mission, because if the headquarters sends himself again, it will be a clear bully.

The meeting was almost over by noon.

"That's all for today's first meeting for the time being, but it's not over yet, according to the normal procedure, there will be a second meeting tomorrow, I hope you are ready. Cao Yanhua looked at the time, and then announced that the meeting was temporarily over.

But at the end, he named him again: "But before the meeting is over, I want to criticize Yang Jian harshly." ”

"Yang Jian fought with Gao Zhiqiang in the rest area, which directly caused Gao Zhiqiang's ghost to recover, and caused the headquarters to lose a top ghost master, which is an unforgivable huge mistake, if it is placed in normal times, it will definitely be severely punished. ”

At this point, he looked angry.

"And sure enough, it came. Yang Jian looked at Feng Quan on the side.

It's really the same as he said, and I'm going to be criticized by name.

But this is just a formality, smart people know that it is impossible for the headquarters to do anything to Yang Jian, just to have a personal show of Cao Yanhua, so that the headquarters can save some face, and at the same time let others know that the headquarters can still suppress Yang Jian, don't mess around.

"This Yang Jian is a stunned young man, he won't be unaware of this, right?" someone secretly guessed in his heart.

If Yang Jian was enraged at this time, it would be interesting to rush up and kill Cao Yanhua.

Apparently.

They were disappointed.

Yang Jian sat there motionless, not having the tense appearance of Jiang Shangbai and the others before, as if he had not heard Cao Yanhua's accusations and criticisms.

After Cao Yanhua criticized for a while, he turned to say: "Although the consequences caused by Yang Jian this time are extremely serious and have brought a very bad impact, he also stopped Gao Zhiqiang's evil behavior of bullying the female operator in the headquarters, and his behavior was out of justice and maintained the law and order in the headquarters......"

"So the punishment of Yang Jian by the headquarters this time is salary, the gold quota is halved, and the demerit is once, and the next is not an example. ”

"What? It's just a fine, demerit?" Jiang Shangbai's face darkened when he heard such a trigger.

At the very least, you have to take something out of this formality, what is this fine? Is the ghost rider short of money? And the demerit has a fart effect on Yang Jian, he has already nominated the captain, and if nothing else, he will be selected, it doesn't matter if the demerit is remembered or not, Cao Yanhua might as well have a penalty of three glasses of wine if triggered like this.

Maybe Yang Jian can get drunk and fall asleep for a day, so that he will have a headache all night.

Gao Zhiqiang really died in vain.

Wrong.

Jiang Shangbai sighed in his heart.

A ghost rider with great potential, just because he couldn't control his little brother, Yang Jian died alive in the headquarters, and no one shouted a word of injustice, the most important thing is that Gao Zhiqiang still made an attempt, if you really count it, it's not a big mistake, it's a verbal warning in normal times, and nothing will happen at all.

He knew that the headquarters didn't want Gao Zhiqiang to die, but it was too late to stop it, Yang Jian was ruthless and black, and he killed people directly.

Everyone is dead, and the headquarters can't severely punish another top ghost rider for the sake of a dead person, right?

What's more, others still act from the perspective of justice, if the headquarters really severely punishes Yang Jian for this, it may not only force Yang Jian, the top ghost handler, to go, but also indirectly tell others that it is reasonable to make mistakes and it is wrong to help.

As soon as this head is opened, the impact will be great.

Cao Yanhua couldn't be so stupid, so he could only deal with it like this.

"Is this Yang Jian really stunned?" Jiang Shangbai was sad at the moment, and began to wonder if Yang Jian had already considered this before.

If that's the case, then this guy is a little scary.

"Okay, now the meeting is adjourned, and in addition, Yang Jian will stay alone for a while. Cao Yanhua added after the meeting.

Yang Jian's expression moved, he probably understood Cao Yanhua's purpose of looking for himself alone.

"Brother Leg, what is the headquarters looking for you alone? It can't be that it wants to sneak you, right?" Feng Quan on the side asked curiously.

Yang Jian glanced at him and said, "Can't you think on the bright side? Maybe the headquarters wants to reward me alone." ”

"You killed people at headquarters, and you almost got into a fight at the meeting, and the headquarters will reward you? Feng Quan shook his head.

"Not necessarily. ”

Feng Quandao: "Then you wait, I'll go first, contact me in time if there is anything, I should be in Dajing City in the past few days." ”

"Okay. Yang Jian nodded.

Soon, the others left here one after another, leaving only Cao Yanhua, Wang Xiaoming, and the old man named Qin Lao.

"Yang Jian, do you know what I left you alone for?" Cao Yanhua asked only after seeing the others leave.

Yang Jian said: "Isn't overtime pay?"

The corners of Cao Yanhua's mouth twitched when he heard this: "You remember this matter very clearly, but this is only one of the things, there is a more important thing I want to talk to you about alone, but this is not the place to talk, come with me, everyone will talk while walking." ”

After saying that, he gestured, and then pointed to a small scooter parked not far away.

"Okay, as long as the deputy minister doesn't pay his bills, he can say anything. Yang Jian didn't care.

Soon.

A group of four people got into the car, driven by a staff member, and slowly left here.

On the way, Cao Yanhua said: "Actually, this matter should not have been told to you at this time, but if I don't talk to you in advance, I am afraid that you will misunderstand when I wait for a short notice, so I thought about it and decided to discuss it with you separately now, of course, you can also object, the headquarters is just providing a suggestion, and will not force you to make a decision." ”

"When you say that, it looks like you're going to sell me?"

Yang Jian looked at him and said, "Usually when others say that they don't force it, they often don't have a choice, am I right? ”

Wang Xiaoming didn't speak, and he was pretending to be a wooden man again.

Cao Yanhua said, "This is a decision I made, it has nothing to do with other people, since you don't like twists and turns, then I will get straight to the point, in fact, the headquarters means that I hope you give up this captain selection and refuse to become the captain." ”

Yang Jian frowned slightly when he heard this: "What is the reason?"

"I can't say it, but if you agree, the headquarters will compensate you, and I believe it will satisfy you. Cao Yanhua said.

"I heard that the selection of the captain is actually a competition for the interests of all parties, and behind each captain is a representative of interests, and some people have already been decided, so I, a powerless and powerless high school student, has been sacrificed?" Yang Jian asked rhetorically.

Cao Yanhua said seriously: "No, if you insist on participating in the captain plan, you will definitely be able to become the captain with your resume, but you are not suitable for this position, but what you said also makes some sense, behind each captain does represent some entanglements of interests, but the most important thing is not this, but balance." ”

"The headquarters needs to use the captain to stabilize the situation, whether it is a supernatural event, a civilian ghost master, or a local security situation, they all need their assistance, and this can only be done by the top ghost handlers...... You do fit the bill, but some people are more suitable, and if you quit, then the person in charge of replacing you will be Li Jun. ”

Yang Jian waved his hand and said: "I don't understand what the situation is, what is suitable or not, if you want me to quit, what price can you afford?"

His demand for the captain is indeed not strong, after becoming the captain, he may have the right and resources, but the trouble is not small, if he can get tangible benefits, let alone he quit the captain plan, even if he quits the headquarters.

"You can just agree, and as for your request, the headquarters will try to meet it. Cao Yanhua said: "Next, I will take you to another place." ”

Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, he didn't speak, just sat in the car and watched the car drive towards a bomb shelter in the headquarters, and stretched all the way down, as if it was going deep underground.

Taking advantage of this time, he said to the old Qin next to him, "How old is the old man this year? ”

Qin Lao smiled instead, but did not respond.

"If you want to ask me directly, Qin Lao has a special identity, and there are some things that he is inconvenient to disclose. Wang Xiaoming only spoke at this time.

"You're a nuisance. "You probably know what I want to inquire about, so I'll just say it directly, how much do you know about the things in the Republic of China?"

He did not believe that with Wang Xiaoming's status and information channels, he could not access some of the previous information.

Really.

Wang Xiaoming didn't feel surprised at all, just calm: "It seems that you have also noticed, this is a little surprising to me, so you want to ask Qin Lao, after all, he is from that era." ”

"Have you done research on this?" asked Yang Jian.

"It's just another research topic, but it's not for me to work on this project, after all, I'm not very good at archaeology. Wang Xiaoming said: "But I still know a little bit when I am researching, but there are some things that cannot be revealed to you for the purpose of confidentiality." ”

"With my level, I won't get the slightest bit of news, right?" Yang Jian said.

Wang Xiaoming was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's start with the ghost coffin I recently studied, the ghost coffin is not a modern one, in terms of workmanship, shape, and craftsmanship, it should be in the style of the coffin of the Republic of China." And then I studied some weird things in the style of the era, and there is no doubt that everything points to that era, which is the Republic of China period you just mentioned. ”

"You should be familiar with this picture. ”

Suddenly, he took out his mobile phone again, opened a photo, and handed it to Yang Jian.

The photo is very familiar, it was taken through the glass window, and in the photo is an old man wearing a long shirt and covered with corpse spots, his eyes are dead, his expression is numb, and his body reveals a strange strangeness.

"It's the same picture I've seen in online forums before, and this old man is ...... Knocker. Yang Jian's face froze.

He also has this photo in his mobile phone, but with the means of the headquarters, it is not difficult to get this photo.

"I've collected some photos of ghosts. Wang Xiaoming took back his mobile phone and said, "This is the image of the codename knocker, you should be familiar with it, but what I let you see is not the appearance of the knocker, but the style of this ghost's dressing." ”

Yang Jian said: "Do you want to say that the ghost who knocked on the door is also an old man during the Republic of China?"

"Obviously. ”

Wang Xiaoming said: "This kind of black long-sleeved dress is the style of that era, and there is still a lot of evidence similar to this, but most of them point to the same period, but I am not very interested in the period, so I didn't spend too much time researching." ”

"What? You know the possible origin of the ghost's resurgence, but you don't dig deeper?" Yang Jian said in surprise.

"Because it's not necessary. ”

Wang Xiaoming said: "It's just an answer, but it can't change the result, so I didn't waste time on it, but Professor Bai is more interested in this matter, he is a historian, a writer, and he has been following up on this matter." ”

Yang Jian said: "Have you ever thought that after knowing the truth, you may be able to completely solve the current supernatural incident?"

"I have thought about it, but it is not realistic, for example, there have been ghosts in the Republic of China, and there have also been ghost riders, but from the current situation, it is clear that the people of that era have failed, although I don't know what methods they used to temporarily deal with all the supernatural events, but this is not important, the important thing is that we should deal with the increasingly frequent supernatural events today. Wang Xiaoming said seriously.

"I don't think about the past, I only think about the future, and you should be the same, it doesn't make much sense to find the answer, it's the priority to solve the problem. ”

"This guy ......" Yang Jian heard Wang Xiaoming say this, and he had the urge to jump up and punch him.

Obviously, he can understand the truth, but this Wang Xiaoming is not interested at all.

"During the Republic of China, if there were really ghost riders, it would be impossible for all of them to disappear, and there would definitely be remnants. ”

Yang Jian said: "If you find them, you can know the truth, you are not interested, but I am interested." ”

Wang Xiaoming said again: "That's true, but it's a pity that Qin Lao is not your target." ”

"Why?"

He was indeed born in the Republic of China era, but he was an orphan, no parents, no relatives, and even no name, only knew that he was adopted by a family surnamed Qin before, but unfortunately, that family died when he was five years old, Qin Lao didn't even know the name of his adoptive father and mother, only remembered the surname, so he didn't enter the circle of ghost riders during the Republic of China. Wang Xiaoming said.

Qin Lao on the side smiled: "In the turbulent era, it's good to survive, how can there be so much attention." ”

Yang Jian's heart suddenly sank.

If that's the case, then the clues and answers are cut off here.

However, Wang Xiaoming then said: "But what makes Qin Lao different from other ghost handlers is that he is a natural ghost handler. ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Jian looked at him again when he heard this.

"It means that Qin Lao was a ghost rider when he was in his mother's womb, he belongs to the other type of ghost riders, and the ghost in his body has merged with him, and has fallen into an eternal state of death, if you don't understand it well, then you can directly think that Qin Lao is a ghost. Wang Xiaoming said.

His voice echoed in the deep corridor, which was empty, but the news revealed made Yang Jian stunned.

"How is this possible?" Yang Jian almost stood up abruptly at this moment.

A natural ghost rider?

When I was in my mother's womb, I was already one with the ghost?

I suspect that I am a ghost.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Nothing is impossible, if you can make the ghost die, it shouldn't be difficult to do this, right? But I guess it should be that Qin Lao's mother used some special method when she was still pregnant with him, so that the ghost fell into a state of death in the fetus, as long as it is not resuscitated, then the baby born is a natural ghost master, of course, there is also a risk of failure, if it fails, then this is a ghost fetus." ”

"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking, maybe he is special that cannot be replicated, but I have to admit that this method of controlling powerful ghosts is the most perfect, I got inspiration from Qin Lao's body, and began to study, because I feel that Qin Lao's existence is a direction guide. ”

Yang Jian stared at him and said, "So you gave birth to a terrifying existence like Onicha?"

"Experiments are risky, especially the uncontrollable risk factor of ghosts, but if they are successful, I will be able to use the ghost coffin to breed more ghost tamers like Qin Lao, and finally the supernatural event will be ended in my hands. Wang Xiaoming said slowly.

It turned out that this was the truth that he was bent on getting the ghost coffin.

I have to say that Wang Xiaoming's vision is very long-term and ambitious, if he succeeds, he can really affect the global trend, no wonder the headquarters regards him as a national treasure.

"You're too big, you're hitting the egg. ”

Yang Jian said with a calm face: "Now the ghost has become everyone's nightmare. ”

"No, that's just a temporary danger, the ghost difference can be solved after all, but the hope for the future is the most important thing, I found a new direction after the ghost coffin experiment failed, it was you who gave me new inspiration, you should continue the previous transaction with me, I need that thing, but in exchange, you can take something here and take it away, and you won't suffer." ”

Wang Xiaoming's words changed, and he stared at the human skin paper in Yang Jian's hand again.

Of course, he still didn't know about the existence of the human skin paper, but he only knew that Yang Jian had a very special thing in his hand, which was suspected to be able to give some terrible information guidance.

It's useful for him.

"Take something to take away?" Yang Jian only found out at this time that he had arrived at a base underneath by car.

"What is this place?"

Cao Yanhua said: "Prison, a place to store some special things." ”

Yang Jian's face changed when he saw this: "The ghost who was successfully imprisoned is placed here?"

"No, it's just some special items that are not very dangerous, the place where the ghost is held is a secret in the secret, even I don't know, this is already the limit of my authority, according to the previous promise, you saved Professor Wang from the ghost mission incident this time and a group of ghost handlers have a lot of credit, I allow you to take away a thing here, which is also promised to you before." But if you're willing to give up your captaincy, I'll allow you to take two things with you, and if you're willing to complete that deal with Professor Wang, I'll allow you to take three things. ”

Cao Yanhua said very seriously, and for the first time allowed Yang Jian to take away three things, this is something that the headquarters has never done until now, in other words, the other ghost riders don't know the secrets here at all, even if they know that they don't even have the right to apply, they will be rejected directly.

From this, it is conceivable how valuable Yang Jian is in the headquarters.

A special weird thing?

Yang Jian's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of things like ghost cabinets, human skin paper, and coffin nails.

Sure enough, the headquarters also has a collection of such things.

However, this Cao Yanhua is hidden deep enough, if it weren't for the situation getting worse and worse, it is estimated that he would not allow these things to leak out.

After all, weird things always carry some unknown horror risks.

"I'll show you there. Cao Yanhua stepped out of the driveway.

Yang Jian now understood why this Qin Lao had to accompany him.

It is estimated that Cao Yanhua was also worried that he would get rich and looted this place.

Now that this old man Qin is following, Yang Jian really doesn't dare to mess around, although this old man probably knows about his body, but he doesn't know anything about ghosts.

However, Yang Jian believed that this Qin Lao was definitely not something he could fight against now.

Without enough confidence, how could the headquarters only bring Qin Lao alone.

Of course, Yang Jian didn't plan to ransack this place, so he wouldn't do this stupid thing that made the public angry.

"What are the supernatural things collected by the headquarters?" he was now particularly curious about this matter.
