Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 439 Doesn't your conscience hurt?
At this moment, Ye Bai noticed that Bai Ming seemed to have something he wanted to say to him.

His eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, his mouth opened and closed several times, but in the end he let out a long sigh, said nothing, and prepared to turn and leave.

"Director Bai, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to hesitate for so long."

"I was getting anxious for you just now because you were so hesitant."

"My style of doing things is to be straightforward."

"I won't use official jargon or bureaucratic language, and besides, I don't have the time to do that."

"Right now, I have to deal with the Seven Stars' surprise attack; that's the most important thing."

"Furthermore, I would like to ask you if it is possible for us to use those indescribable things?"

Hearing this, Director Bai Ming felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

Ye Bai's words coincided with what he wanted to do.

Director Bai Ming took a gleaming silver USB drive out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Sir, there are some indescribable creatures that don't need to be imprisoned at all; they can cooperate with humans."

"We should make good use of their strengths."

Ye Bai coughed lightly: "Please explain in detail!"

He was quite curious about the indescribable.

"Just like the Medusa statue, it has a strong petrification ability. Pets below the seventh rank will immediately enter a petrified state if they come into contact with its gaze."

"Based on my observations, theoretically, the extent of petrification can also be controlled."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai immediately became interested.

He subconsciously ignored the fact that Bai Ming had said "observation," not "research."

"I saw that even a Tier 7 Armored Boar was petrified by the Medusa statue. Does this mean that Tier 7 pets have a certain probability of being petrified, while pets below Tier 7 have a 100% probability of being petrified?"

If that's the case, then if another low-level beast tide breaks out, the Medusa statue alone will be enough to suppress the entire area.

"Theoretically, that's correct, but in reality, we haven't done many experiments."

"These are all the results of my secret observations and summaries."

"The former director not only discouraged but also prohibited us from conducting research on the unspeakable."

He said we would succumb to the temptations of the indescribable and become their slaves.

"Those who violate this rule will be severely punished."

"So all our research was conducted in secret."

"Even so, many people are still discovered and executed every year."

"The minor punishment is demotion, the serious punishment is having their memories extracted and being expelled from the 750th Bureau."

He believed that anything indescribable was evil or heretical, and that only one's own skill was true ability.

Upon hearing what Director Bai said, Ye Bai burst into laughter in anger.

“He was afraid of being discovered by you, so he secretly used the evil god statue to practice his skills.”

"That's why I came up with this method."

"Don't think of Master Zhishen as so benevolent."

"But it sounds a bit awful to always call it something indescribable. How about we just call it a ghost?"

After hearing this, Director Bai immediately gave a thumbs up: "Strange? This is much simpler and easier to remember than the indescribable."

"I just don't know if you, sir, would allow us to conduct in-depth research on the supernatural, rather than just staying at a superficial level of understanding."

"You now command the entire Bureau 750, and you have a good relationship with Marshal Qilin. Could you please put in a good word for us?"

"A special fund was established and a research grant was allocated."

Bai Ming immediately perked up.

Ye Bai had looked up Bai Ming's profile before. He was originally a professor of theology, but was assigned to Bureau 750 due to a job transfer.

"I think it is necessary to study the supernatural, and we can also use the power of the supernatural to develop and strengthen ourselves."

Ye Bai nodded: "It can be developed, but there should be a limit."

"The supernatural has a great impact on the mental threshold of pet masters. We need a device to detect the mental threshold at all times."

"At the same time, every pet owner who has completed the experiment must have their mental threshold monitored at a fixed location for one month."

"If you can meet my requirements, then I will agree to your research on the supernatural."

"And they will personally approve the project and allocate a portion of the special research funds to Bureau 750."

Bai Ming thought about it and realized that the mental threshold was still at the conceptual stage. If he wanted to conduct research, it would be impossible to do so in a short period of time.

"However, we can't jump to conclusions. I suggest we start by studying the Medusa statue to see how she petrifies her pets,"

"How to expand the scope of petrochemicals?"

The petrification ability of the Medusa statue will play a crucial role not only against the beast tide but also in the future war against the heavens in the Sea God Abyss.

"I understand. I will arrange for someone to study the Medusa statue."

Bai Ming said with a serious expression.

"By the way, sir, I also have a lot of information about other strange things on this USB drive."

"If there is anything you don't understand, sir, you can ask me at any time, and I will tell you everything I know," Bai Ming said respectfully.

"You take charge of Bureau 750 first, and announce the crimes of Master Zhishen and his accomplices."

“For example, how much resources they embezzled and how many illegal and criminal things they did should all be listed out.”

"And while you're at it, remove the deepest-hidden spies. I'll give you three days."

“I know you have your own loyal followers in Bureau 750. Although three days may seem a bit rushed, we don’t have time left.”

"If you can't handle it within three days, or if something goes wrong later, then I'll have to reluctantly decide to replace you with someone else to take over 750 rounds."

"By the way, assign someone to me. I want to take a special look at Bureau 750's secrets."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A girl dressed in a JK uniform appeared in front of Ye Bai, holding a stack of documents in her hands.

"Sir, these are the documents that Bureau 750 is currently awaiting signature."

Ye Bai took the document, glanced at it, and casually handed it to Bai Ming.

"This document is giving me a headache."

"You can handle it."

"Also, are there any monsters that haven't been contained yet?"

"Take me to see it?"

Ye Bai stretched his muscles and bones.

He was ready to get to work.

"sly?"

The girl asked curiously.

"It is something indescribable."

"Just now, the master referred to it as 'Ghost,' so Little Blue, immediately send an email to everyone stating that the indescribable thing is officially renamed 'Ghost'!"

Bai Ming said with utmost solemnity.

750 Bureau Detention Center.

This is a place specifically used to house ghosts.

Through the brightly lit shop window, Ye Bai saw a shadowy creature suppressed inside. The sign outside the window had already listed the creature's name and abilities.

【Name: Shadow (Unnamed Thing ×) Ghost】

The sign had a large X drawn over the unidentifiable object, followed by the word "mysterious".

It seems there's no time to replace the sign, so we'll just have to leave it like this for now.

Location of discovery: Zhuangzhou Middle School.

[Ability: Transforms into a phantom, disappearing into the shadow of a person or beast. Once inside, it begins to parasitize, gradually replacing the human or beast and trapping their soul within the shadow.]

[Disadvantage: It is sensitive to light; if exposed to strong light, it will instantly curl up into a ball.]

Ye Bai then saw a row of incandescent lights in the shop window, emitting a blindingly bright light.

“We will make multiple arrangements for each room used for containment.”

"Just like these shadows, which are indescribable, cough, eerie, if there is no light in the room, they will immediately disappear into the shadows."

"Therefore, there is usually a backup power supply in the room. Once the central control system loses power, the incandescent light will continue to dim for a period of time."

"At this point, the backup generator will start."

"At the very least, we've planted sunflowers in all six positions of this room: east, west, south, north, up, and down."

"Once the backup generator also fails, and the room's brightness diminishes, the Sunflower King will revive and emit a blindingly bright light."

"The Shadow Demon seems to have other abilities, but unfortunately the director won't allow us to conduct research on it."

Little Blue playfully stuck out her tongue.

"It's alright. Once you develop the mental threshold device, you can go ahead and study the supernatural to your heart's content."

"You just said that the Shadow Demon seems to have other abilities. How did you deduce that?"

Zhang Lingxue asked curiously, as her talent in research was comparable to Ye Bai's, and she also admired researchers who were observant.

"Actually, this was a discovery I made by chance."

"Once, when the backup generator failed to start, I saw the shadowy figure drag a white skull out of the shadows."

"There was also a long scythe, and ghostly blue flames flickered on the skull."

"Just as the shadowy creature was about to enter the shadow tunnel and escape from here, the power suddenly came back on."

"The blinding light enveloped the shadowy creature once again, and to my surprise, the skull and scythe in its hands had disappeared."

"So I guess the Shadow Ghost must have a shadow space, but unfortunately I've wanted to experiment to see it, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity."

"Bureau 750 does not allow contracts with ghosts. I heard that some people secretly made contracts with ghosts before, and as a result, they were all affected by the ghosts and went crazy. In the end, some even turned into ghosts themselves."

"This stopped everyone from wanting to use the Trickster Contract."

Xiao Lan felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it; she almost ended up making a contract with that bizarre red umbrella.

At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly saw a person wearing red rain boots and carrying a red umbrella appear in front of him.

"Little Blue, what's so strange here? Why is someone carrying a red umbrella?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan immediately looked terrified.

She started looking in the direction Ye Bai was pointing.

There was nothing in front of it.

"May I ask if the other two gentlemen are able to see her?"

Xiao Lan asked, slightly stuttering.
"No, there's no one ahead."

Zhang Lingxue and Lan Fenghuang both shook their heads.

"It seems you've been targeted by that cunning Red Umbrella."

"Only those who are being targeted can see the red umbrella."

“I was once entangled with the Red Umbrella. I was going to make a pact with her, but the Red Umbrella was frightened away by the relic I was wearing around my neck.”

"After exploring for so long, we've discovered one of the characteristics of the ghost, which is to grant its requests."

"If one of Gui's wishes can be fulfilled, Gui will dissipate on its own and go to find someone else."

"Otherwise, we can find the weakness of the Ghost and defeat it decisively."

"Generally, there are only these two options."

Xiao Lan said earnestly.

"I remember that the red umbrella's original wish was to make a contract with me."

"Unfortunately, the relic I was wearing at that time vanished completely shortly after the red umbrella was scared away, as if it had protected me from disaster."

Ye Bai saw the red umbrella not far from him and suddenly stopped.

As if sensing something, her body quickly turned into a cloud of red mist and disappeared.

This puzzled Ye Bai greatly. What was wrong with the red umbrella? It seemed to have encountered something insurmountable and ran away immediately.

"I noticed that the red umbrella suddenly ran away."

Ye Bai said, quite puzzled.

"There must be something on you that scared away the red umbrella, otherwise the red umbrella wouldn't have run away."

"You can test it out; just use the Shadow Monster over there."

The shadows are eerie!!! Sister, are you crazy?! I'm already like this, and you're still using me to test me.

Doesn't your conscience hurt?
When Xiao Lan looked up, she saw a shadowy figure curled up in a ball, looking at her with incredibly resentful eyes.

It felt like looking at a heartless man.

She wiped her nose sheepishly.

Ye Bai thought for a moment, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He summoned the ancient bronze sword from his pet space.

The moment the bronze sword appeared, the shadowy creature let out a piercing scream, and with a bang, it transformed into countless scattered black mists, about to dissipate into the air.

Seeing this, Ye Bai quickly put away the bronze sword. At this moment, the black shadow that was about to dissipate gathered together again, forming a shadowy and eerie shape.

However, compared to before, the Shadow Monster's size has shrunk by more than half, and now it only has a quarter of its original size.

"It seems that your ancient bronze sword has a very strong deterrent effect on ghosts."

"Perhaps the red umbrella sensed your presence, which is why it fled in panic."

"The shadows are unavoidable and can only be injured by the aura emanating from the ancient bronze sword."

Xiao Lan immediately drew a conclusion.

"In other words, this sword is effective against evil spirits."

Ye Bai thought for a moment. What he saw through the Eye of Truth was that the sword spirit of the Taiji Yin Yang Sword was fused with the Dustless Sword. It seemed that the Old Celestial Master had poured all his spiritual power into the Dustless Sword.

The Celestial Master is inherently effective against evil spirits, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Slash, which combines sixty-four swords, is even more so.

So, unsurprisingly, the bronze ancient sword became the nemesis of the strange beasts.

It's as if you're carrying a weapon that can ward off all ghosts.

"By the way, Xiao Lan, do you have any vicious monsters around here?"

"I want to test how well this ancient bronze sword is effective against strange beasts."

Xiao Lan poked her chin with her finger, her eyes darting around.

"You know what, there really is one."

"However, this guy is a bit troublesome. He's at the very bottom of the containment facility. He's extremely difficult to deal with and is skilled at controlling the water flow."

"It took us several seventh-level pet masters to finally capture this monster."
