Chapter 207 The Beginning of the Post Office, Sun Rui: This guy opened it?! (4.4k)

Greater J City.

The Asia branch of the Ghost Riders headquarters.

At that moment, a rather important meeting was being held at headquarters, and almost all the senior executives were present, including Vice Minister Cao Yanhua.

Previously, some senior executives at headquarters had opinions about Lu Ming himself. Although they dared not show it openly, they had quite a few complaints behind his back.

After all, people who don't know Lu Ming's strength will think he's too arrogant and doesn't give any face to the official Ghost Tamer organization at headquarters.

However, some time ago, a high-ranking official who openly expressed hostility towards Lu Ming at a meeting died "accidentally" the next day.

In addition, Lu Ming either doesn't take action at all, or when he does, it's like this time, where he single-handedly repelled all six members of the Clockwork Organization who attacked the Shangtong Building.

The winds at headquarters have changed a lot recently, and they've probably figured out who the real boss of China's paranormal circle is.

"Is the ghost groom Lu Ming going to Dahan City?"

A senior executive at headquarters, dressed in a suit, was somewhat surprised upon hearing the news.

"Although Lu Ming is capable, judging from past intelligence, he is most likely a belligerent person... Will his trip to Dahan City cause any more trouble?"

Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua shook his head: "Lu Ming is not exactly combative, but he won't swallow his anger. He probably has his own purpose in going to Dahan City this time... After all, he's not one of our headquarters people, so we can't just interfere."

"As for the person in charge of Dahan City... I remember his name is Sun Rui. Judging from past records, Sun Rui is quite reliable and shouldn't have any conflict with Lu Ming."

Although the senior executives at headquarters said that "a conflict would occur," they actually knew that this was not a proper way of putting it, because if a conflict were to arise between the two sides, Lu Ming would be in an absolutely crushing position.

Even if the entire paranormal community of Dahan City were to join in, the outcome would not change.

···········
At this moment.

Daehan International Airport.

A man in his late twenties was smoking a cigarette and holding a satellite phone.

He glanced at the time displayed on the satellite phone, then stubbed out his cigarette, his expression becoming more serious.

This person is none other than Sun Rui, the person in charge of Dahan City mentioned by Cao Yanhua.

Generally speaking, those who control ghosts are clearly different from ordinary people, both in terms of temperament and appearance.

Just like Sun Rui right in front of us.

He leaned on a golden cane, his leg was slightly lame, and he walked unsteadily. His face was sallow and dark, like a patient lying in a hospital bed who could die at any moment.

It's hard to imagine that such a "patient" is actually the most powerful and influential person in the entire Dahan City.

Sun Rui controlled two ghosts, and they were veterans in the supernatural world; in the past, they would have been considered top-tier.

Unfortunately, there are just too many geniuses, or rather, prodigies, like Lu Ming and Yang Jian lately, which has forced Sun Rui to be relegated to a subordinate position as captain.

However, this very same ghost tamer had an extremely serious and focused expression at this moment, as if he had something on his mind.

"The ghost groom Lu Ming is coming soon. Although we don't know exactly what he's doing in Dahan City, it probably won't be anything good."

Sun Rui didn't know Lu Ming as well as Cao Yanhua. Based on some rumors and the fact that Lu Ming was coming to Dahan City, he couldn't help but have some bad thoughts.

After all, many people say that Lu Ming is not easy to get along with and not so easy to fool.

Sun Rui has been making preparations these past few days. His subordinates have also advised him that Lu Ming might just be passing by and has no other intentions, so there's no need to take it too seriously.

Sun Rui sneered upon hearing this: "If a big shot like him really doesn't care about me, as you say, that would be a good thing. But if he does care... our jobs and lives will be in danger."

Some time ago, the headquarters held a meeting to plan the captains, but Sun Rui did not participate because he knew that with his abilities, he had no chance of becoming a captain. So he was content to just guard his own little territory in Dahan City.

However, Sun Rui is acting out of character now, showing more concern for Lu Ming's arrival than anyone else.

Simply put, he didn't want to hand his fate over to others and had to prepare in advance.

"Has everything I instructed been arranged?"

"It's all arranged, Mr. Sun, don't worry."

The assistant answered respectfully, and Sun Rui simply waved his hand and said, "Understood, you may leave now."

···········
Exactly as scheduled, a plane landed at Dahan City International Airport.

Lu Ming, dressed in white mourning clothes, slowly stepped off the plane.

Surprisingly, Lu Ming seemed quite casual about his trip to Dahan City, making no extra preparations and carrying nothing with him.

Moreover, his complexion looked better than that of an average ghost tamer.

Sun Rui was secretly astonished: "How is this possible? Shouldn't it be that the more ferocious the ghost controlled by the ghost tamer, the more severe the supernatural corruption it will have on the ghost tamer?"

"Why can Lu Ming break even the most basic common sense? Or... has he overcome the effects of the resurrected vengeful spirit?"

A somewhat absurd and unbelievable thought suddenly popped into Sun Rui's mind.

In the paranormal world, the truly ruthless are not those who risk their lives to kill someone, but those who live the longest.

The dead have no right to speak; only the living are entitled to discuss other matters.

If Lu Ming really solves the problem of the vengeful ghosts' resurgence...
Sun Rui dared not think about it further.

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly realized that Lu Ming had not actually come alone.

There was even a ghost tamer following behind him.

This was also a young man, who looked quite young, but his expression didn't show the naivety of a newcomer. He was very wary of everything around him, especially anything involving the supernatural.

Li Yang, codenamed Ghost Blocking the Door.

In fact, considering the time it took to become a Ghost Tamer, it's not an exaggeration to say that Li Yang is a newcomer.

In fact, he has more experience in handling paranormal events than many veteran ghost handlers. From the ghost painting incident to the ghost feast incident, he has never been at a low level.

Lu Ming had also taken this into consideration, and given Li Yang's unwavering loyalty to him, he brought Li Yang with him on this trip to Dahan City.

The Ghost Post Office has a complex layout and many rooms, making it a perfect place for Li Yang to use his supernatural abilities.

If they're lucky, it could even help Li Yang grow faster and become "Little Luo Wensong" sooner.

Sun Rui's expression shifted slightly, his stiff eyes darting around as he thought to himself, "A ghost tamer who can follow Captain Lu Ming is definitely not someone to be trifled with. It would be irrational to underestimate this young man... He is at least like me, someone who controls two ghosts, and he won't die easily in supernatural events."

The thought process didn't last long.

Sun Rui quickly composed himself, replacing his previous serious expression with a smile, and respectfully went to greet him.

"Captain Lu, and this young man, it is our honor to have you grace us with your presence in Dahan City. Although it may sound presumptuous of me to say this, I still arranged for someone to come and pick you up after receiving the news from headquarters. I hope you two don't mind."

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sun Rui, and I'm the person in charge of Dahan City. People in the paranormal community call me the Sick Ghost."

Lu Ming glanced at Sun Rui expressionlessly.

This guy was indeed as he remembered; he knew how to handle things. The usually bustling Dahan City International Airport had been cleared out, leaving a large open space.

On this open space, there were bodyguards in black suits that Sun Rui had prepared, as well as a group of beautiful women holding a huge banner.

It's a cliché, but it really works.

Basically, no man would find this scene offensive.

"Mr. Sun, hello. I'm here with Captain Lu to discuss some important matters. I hope you can cooperate."

Li Yang then walked from behind Lu Ming to the front and shook hands with Sun Rui on his behalf.

These were all things Lu Ming had told him beforehand, and Li Yang himself was quite good at socializing; he could be considered a truly intelligent person.

He did not appear intimidated in front of Sun Rui, the head of Dahan City, nor did he put on airs because he had Lu Ming backing him up.

Let's discuss some serious matters?
Upon hearing this, Sun Rui had a bad feeling.

The so-called "serious business" among the ghost tamers consists of nothing but supernatural events.

Judging from Lu Ming's words, is he saying that something bad has happened in his Great Han City recently?
Paranormal events happen in every city; it's just a matter of degree.

Even a ghost tamer of Lu Ming's caliber was alarmed, so it's hard to call this a minor issue.

If this paranormal event is easy to handle and not very harmful, then it will definitely not alarm Lu Ming, the famous ghost groom in the entire paranormal circle.

"Captain Lu, I have been reporting the situation in Dahan City truthfully. So far, there have been no major paranormal events. It is a very safe city. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that there is anything going on in Dahan City. If there were, headquarters would already have a file on it."

The person who answered this time was still Li Yang: "You don't need to think too much, it's all part of our team leader Lu's plan, you just need to cooperate with the work."

This statement may sound a bit harsh, but it also reveals Lu Ming's attitude.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask; what you should know, you will naturally know.

Sun Rui was a sensible person. After hearing what Li Yang said, he immediately stopped talking, led the two out of the airport, and waited for Lu Ming to speak first.

"From what I understand, some strange things have happened in Dahan City. The missing persons cases here seem a bit unusual. If it were just missing persons, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, such things happen in every place, and quite frequently."

“But your Great Han City is different. Almost every day, nine people go missing. This has almost become a rule. I think you understand what I mean.”

Sun Rui looked up in surprise, her gaze towards Lu Ming filled with a mixture of doubt and admiration.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen a ghost tamer in such a good mental state and with such clear thinking.

There were almost no signs of supernatural influence on Lu Ming.

This made Sun Rui somewhat envious.

"To be honest, Captain Lu, this incident did happen in Dahan City some time ago. Our staff also suspected it was a paranormal event, so we gave it a code name, Mysterious Disappearance. However, its level of terror is very low, only C level."

After a slight hesitation, Sun Rui asked, "Does Captain Lu have any clues?"

Lu Ming didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "It's not that I have a clue, but that I have figured out the source of the supernatural phenomenon behind it. You just need to cooperate with my investigation."

As they talked, the three of them got into the same black van.

After getting into the car, Lu Ming only uttered three words.

"Jianshe Road".

Sun Rui hurriedly ordered the driver in the front seat, "Drive quickly to Jianshe Road now, we need to go there to take a look."

Soon, the black van pulled up on Jianshe Road in Dahan City.

During this time, Sun Rui kept secretly observing Lu Ming.

He was very interested in the rumored ghost groom.

Lu Ming's first impression was that he didn't want anyone to mess with him easily, but he wasn't as difficult to get along with as the rumors suggested.

As for his strength...
This is the most undeniable point.

Sun Rui estimated that among all the team leaders at headquarters, Lu Ming was definitely the strongest.

That was correct.

He could never have imagined that Lu Ming was not only the strongest, but also far ahead in the realm of the supernatural.

Lu Ming's current goal is no longer to become a captain or a king, but to achieve the pinnacle of an era and reach the level of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

The three got out of the car and saw an abandoned, unfinished building on the other side of the wall.

Sun Rui frowned. To be honest, with his eyesight, he couldn't see anything wrong with this unfinished building.

"You, and you, go and investigate all the details of this unfinished building."

Sun Rui casually gave instructions to his subordinates.

Then, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "No need, let's just hack in directly."

Upon hearing the word "invasion," Sun Rui's expression shifted again.

Could it be that this seemingly ordinary unfinished building is actually the source of the supernatural phenomenon?

It's just that his current level isn't high enough, which is why he can't see the truth.
After carefully sensing it, Sun Rui nodded and said, "As expected of Captain Lu, I can indeed feel that the ghost inside me has undergone some kind of strange change. This change is very subtle. If Captain Lu hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have noticed it."

At this point, Sun Rui glanced at Lu Ming: "I have some research on paranormal theories, I wonder if Captain Lu would like to hear it?"

Lu Ming smiled upon hearing this: "Are you trying to say that this is the ghost tamer's perception of the vengeful ghost? Essentially, it's that the killing pattern within the ghost tamer's body, which controls the vengeful ghost, has been triggered, while the ghost tamer's own consciousness is suppressing this killing pattern, resulting in an indescribable feeling."

"It's like a normal man walking down the street and seeing a beautiful woman. Even if the woman looks unfamiliar, a man can't help but glance at her, but then he restrains himself and looks away."

Sun Rui: "???"

Lu Ming added, "The theory you're trying to say is interesting, but there's no concrete evidence to prove it yet. It can only be considered an experience, and more examples are needed to verify it."

At this point, Sun Rui was completely speechless.

He didn't know how Lu Ming knew what he was thinking.

This was indeed a study that Sun Rui had done some years ago, but it did not have a significant impact and was not even included in the headquarters' archives.

If he remembered correctly, Lu Ming was still far from becoming a Ghost Tamer at that time, so it was absolutely impossible for him to find relevant information.

How did he know what I was thinking?

Could it be that······

This Lu Ming has a ghost under his control, and this ghost can hear other people's thoughts.
If that's the case, it would be terrifying for a ghost tamer.

Sun Rui was horrified as he thought about it, and a chill ran down his spine.

He quickly put aside his random thoughts, his expression serious, and thought to himself, "I have always respected Captain Lu, and I have never had any other thoughts from the beginning until now."
