Ghost Compendium

Chapter 243: Return to the Capital City! Chance Encounter at the Airport!


In the early morning hours.

Mei Xin Mountain was still sitting in his office, unable to sleep, anxiously waiting for someone.

But this time, although he appeared anxious in the office, his heart was unusually calm.

Knock knock——

The door was knocked on.

Unlike before, Mei Xin Mountain didn't bother asking for them to come in but instead hurried over to open the door himself.

Seeing the black-clad teenager outside wearing a Sun Wukong mask, he excitedly said, "It's... it's done already? No need to check again?"

Wu Liang walked into the office, sat down on the sofa, put the mask in his pocket, picked up the cup of tea that had gone cold on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

"No need to check... hey wait, how do you guys check?" he asked puzzledly.

Upon hearing Wu Liang's question, Mei Xin Mountain initially thought he was joking, then suddenly remembered that this kid had been in the Celestial Pool of Tianshan for over three months and was completely unaware of the many changes that had occurred outside.

So he quickly explained, "Just use supernatural detection devices. Currently, all cities in the country are covered with these devices. As soon as any magnetic field changes caused by supernatural blockades occur, they can be instantly captured and the real-time location feedback will return."

Saying this, Mei Xin Mountain turned the computer screen on the desk over.

In the upper right corner, there was a constantly refreshing map of Di Wu City, marked with several red dots, all with the words below—Disappeared.

This made Wu Liang recall that there was also a similar device in the Capital City. He didn't expect it to be rolled out nationwide in just three months.

It can only be said that the official's ability to act is still quite strong.

"But these devices also have detection loopholes. For example, some Fierce Ghosts that appear without conducting supernatural blockades won't cause any magnetic field changes." Wu Liang casually said with a glance.

Because he had a Nightmare, a Fierce Ghost that didn't need supernatural blockades, he naturally knew the weaknesses of these devices.

Moreover, when he cleared out Fierce Ghosts in Di Wu City just now, including the Fearful Rice Straw Ghost, he dealt with several Fierce Ghosts that were unnoticed by officials.

If it weren't for the Ghost Compendium, these Fierce Ghosts would indeed be hard to find!

Mei Xin Mountain sighed and replied, "That's right, although this situation is rare, with the total number of supernatural events in a city as a base, it occasionally happens."

So he proposed to conduct a thorough investigation again.

This thorough investigation would be like a census, requiring police officers, neighborhood committees, and other personnel in each district to interview every household.

"No problem, I have a way to thoroughly investigate, and everything has been sorted out. Tonight, you explain to me in detail about the changes in various places over the past three months, especially in the Capital City and Chengyang City. Also, lend me the computer to use." Wu Liang said as he opened the office computer.

The members investigating inside the cave couldn't possibly know more about the situation than a city division chief.

Additionally, with pictures and videos available on the computer, it's more convenient for Wu Liang to quickly understand the changes.

Seeing him in this prepared and eager state, Mei Xin Mountain knew he wouldn't get any sleep tonight.

After all, the events that occurred in the past three months were rather numerous, and some exceptional matters couldn't be explained merely by speaking; he even needed to retrieve official data files to assist in the explanation.

But even if he had to be a narrator all night, Mei Xin Mountain had no complaints, for Wu Liang had helped him solve the most difficult problem in Di Wu City!

"Alright, let's begin by discussing the official setup and the appearance of the Promised Land..."

......

......

The sun is high.

Sunshine gradually crept through the windows into the room, shining on the spirited Wu Liang's head, and on Mei Xin Mountain's yawning, tired face.

"Alright, it's done, I'm heading to the Capital City now." Wu Liang turned off the computer and prepared to leave Di Wu City.

Mei Xin Mountain couldn't help but marvel, "Young people are really vigorous. Are you sure you don't want to take a nap in Di Wu City before leaving? When should I report your news to headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang replied without looking back, "There's no need to report my news, I'll go directly to find the Zodiac Dragon. But I'd appreciate it if you'd continue monitoring the situation in Utopia, any significant moves there must be reported timely."

After all, there's still a group of Ghost Valley's former members over there. Even if they don't cause trouble in Utopia, what if someone plans to stir up trouble in Di Wu City?

After receiving Mei Xin Mountain's accurate response, Wu Liang walked out of the official division, got into a familiar, battered taxi.

Arriving at the airport.

He glanced at the plane heading to the Capital City, then used the Mist Ghost's ability to make himself completely invisible.

Just like that, he stealthily blended onto the plane, quietly sneaking back to the Capital City.

"Boss, are you evading the fare? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" The Puppet Ghost couldn't help but complain about Wu Liang's shameless behavior of "free-riding" after getting off the plane.

"Conscience? What's that?" Wu Liang touched the area where his heart was and didn't seem to find anything like what the Puppet Ghost had just mentioned.

Looking at the familiar Beijing Airport, he recalled the first time he came here, when Jin Chenghua, the foreigner with a tongue full of "standard Mandarin," came to receive him.

It's both nostalgic and infuriating.

This time, no one came to receive him.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone this time because what's ahead is the entire organization of the Promised Land!

He certainly couldn't stop every action that the Promised Land took all by himself.

Their goals went far beyond just one city.

Facing the multi-threaded, multi-directional conspiracies the Pioneer was about to inflict on the whole human society, Wu Liang had to negotiate with Minister Long to mobilize the entire official force against them comprehensively!

With this in mind, Wu Liang walked to the car stand outside the airport, intending to continue letting the taxi ghost take him to the official headquarters building.

However, when he opened the car door and was about to get in, a taxi coincidentally drove over and stopped, with someone incredibly familiar to Wu Liang getting out.

The person, who looked like a child, carried a cartoon backpack and hopped towards the airport, followed by a rugged, unkempt-looking man with a beard, who upon closer inspection, gave off the vibe of a handsome uncle, trailing after.

With such a combination, they seemed like a father-daughter pair on a trip.

It was none other than the Zodiac Rabbit and Zodiac Pig!

The simultaneous appearance of these two at the airport made Wu Liang pause, deciding not to get in the car.

Whether it's the Zodiac Rabbit, who as an important member of the research institute shouldn't frequently leave the official headquarters building, or the Zodiac Pig, whose Fierce Ghost abilities are fit for large-scale missions.

If they weren't preparing to board a flight for a business trip, then it indicated one thing—they had come to the airport to execute a mission!

A significant mission worthy of deploying two Zodiacs at the same time!
