We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Why would the King's Organization members proactively tell headquarters how to locate the ghost ship?

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua felt a sense of absurdity and disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? Shouldn't the King Organization members be hoping their headquarters is destroyed as soon as possible?"

"Something unusual must be going on... The fact that the King's organization is contacting me at this critical juncture must mean something more is not as simple as it seems."

Thinking of this, Cao Yanhua couldn't help but be more cautious.

Reason told Cao Yanhua that the most prudent thing to do was to hang up the phone immediately. No matter what the other party was up to, as long as he ignored it, he wouldn't fall into a trap.

But the offer from the guy who claimed to be a member of the King's Organization was just too tempting.

He accurately identified the headquarters' current weakness.

Everyone at headquarters, including Cao Yanhua, was anxious about the ghost ship landing.

The other party claimed to have a way to solve this problem. Although the possibility was very slim, this sliver of hope was still irresistible.

Cao Yanhua frowned, shaking his head inwardly, thinking, "Besides agreeing to this guy's request, I can't think of any better way..."

After much hesitation, Cao Yanhua still tried to negotiate with the other party, saying, "We are not against considering it, but you need to make your conditions clear first."

The voice on the other end of the phone chuckled softly, clearly having anticipated that Cao Yanhua would agree to his proposal.

"Minister Cao, rest assured, we are prudent in our actions and will not make things difficult for you... To put it bluntly, although we have different positions, our interests are aligned. As long as we can reach a good agreement, cooperation is not out of the question."

Then, the other person continued, "Our request is simple: just return the manor owner's body, and we will provide a way to find the ghost ship."

They demanded the return of the manor owner's body.

In other countries, the bodies of the deceased are not valued as much as they are in China.

Not to mention that these people are ghost tamers of the King's organization.

No matter what they do, they are basically driven by self-interest.

Since the other party is demanding the return of the manor owner's body, there must be a way to bring the dead manor owner back to life.

The idea of ​​bringing the dead back to life, a taboo that sounds impossible, is nothing in the face of the supernatural.

After learning of the other party's request, Cao Yanhua fell silent.

He was weighing the pros and cons.

The manor lord is one of the most powerful among the kings in the King's Organization.

Returning the manor owner's body would undoubtedly pose a risk to headquarters.

However, Cao Yanhua then realized that the most important thing right now was to get through the current crisis.

As long as we can stall until Lu Ming returns, resolving the issue with the manor owner shouldn't be a major problem.

Furthermore, if the other party is not deceiving and is telling the truth, then this proves that the King's Organization is not a monolithic entity. On the contrary, many factions have emerged within the King's Organization, engaging in various open and covert struggles and vying for interests in private.

The members of the King's organization in front of us are suspected to be the manor owner's men.

He didn't want the manor lord to die like that, so he chose to betray the interests of the King's Organization in exchange for the manor lord's body.

This principle is very simple and not difficult to understand.

If there are scoundrels within headquarters who betray its interests and defect to the King's Organization, then there must also be such people within the King's Organization.

After careful consideration, Cao Yanhua finally gave his answer: "No problem, headquarters can return the manor owner's body, but we must see your sincerity first."

On the other end of the phone, the member of the King's Organization readily agreed, ceasing further stalling with Cao Yanhua, and stated directly: "The ghost ship will appear in the real world in five minutes, and will dock for approximately three minutes..."

He then gave a specific location, which, according to this person, was the location where the ghost ship would appear next.

···········
"Is it really that incredible? Precisely accurate to the minute, including latitude and longitude?"

Cao Yanhua was somewhat incredulous.

However, apart from having the team leaders set up a defensive line, headquarters currently has no other effective solutions.

We had no choice but to listen to the information this person provided, and try anything as a last resort.

"Minister Cao, this information must have been provided by the King's Organization, so it's inevitable that..."

Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Cao Yanhua waved his hand and interrupted, "Of course I understand, but there's no use saying this now. The promise we made to that guy is just a verbal agreement. We can change our minds when it comes to handing over the manor owner's body."

"In this day and age, the least valuable thing is a verbal promise... As for face, when it comes to interests, whether I lose face or not is no longer important to me."

Cao Yanhua appeared to be in a passive position, and had been struggling and hesitating.

In reality, this deal was extremely worthwhile for him no matter how you looked at it.

Trading a king's corpse for a turning point in a war—any intelligent person would know exactly what to do.

Not to mention, the king's body has not yet been given away.

What will happen in the end is still unknown.

Cao Yanhua's phone call was a complete scheme to get something for nothing.

If the information provided by the King's Organization is true, then they've made a fortune.

If the information provided by the King's organization is false, they will suffer no loss.

···········
Time passed second by second.

Five minutes is neither a long nor a short time.

Countless eyes were fixed on the vast sea, especially on the specific location information revealed by the member of the King's Organization.

Unfortunately, a full five minutes passed, and the sea remained calm, without wind or waves, showing no sign of anything major about to happen.

Cao Yanhua stared intently at the sea, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, we've been tricked. Although we haven't suffered any losses, these people from the King's Organization are really dishonest, always thinking of crooked schemes..."

Before he finished speaking, a thin mist suddenly rose from the spot Cao Yanhua was watching on the sea. The mist seemed to appear out of thin air without any warning.

Then, the fog began to deepen and become increasingly dense.

From within the mist, an old, dilapidated ship emerged, becoming increasingly clear.

Just by looking at the outline, one can tell that this ship is enormous, and an individual appears so small in comparison.

Moreover, this ship gives people a very special feeling, as if it does not actually exist, and there is a sense of it existing at the boundary between illusion and reality.

"This is the ghost ship..."

Cao Yanhua was stunned by the sight before him.

It's not just the sense of oppression that comes with the actual appearance of this ghost ship.

Furthermore, the information provided by that member of the King's organization turned out to be true.

"But... even if we pinpoint the ghost ship's location, what's the use?" "This terrifying aggregate of supernatural entities is simply beyond the power of any individual to contend with..."

The moment they saw the ghost ship, a shadow of fear enveloped everyone.

There was absolutely no one who could stop the ghost ship from landing.

This thought appeared in everyone's mind without prior arrangement.

Right now, the ghost ship will soon dock at a port, or even sail directly into a coastal city in an incomprehensible way, causing a huge impact.

"It's difficult to do, but it's up to us."

“If even we choose to back down, then no one can stop the King’s organization from taking action.”

One of the headquarters members hesitated and said, "But sending us to confront the ghost ship is tantamount to sending us to our deaths... The commander-in-chief isn't here. With our capabilities, can we really do it?"

His words plunged everyone into silence once again.

Even if Lu Ming were present, he might not be able to solve the problem of the ghost ship landing.

Not to mention that even Lu Ming can't show up now.

Even with the most optimistic outlook, I can't think of any way to counter the ghost ship.

Several captain-level ghost tamers used their ghost domains to try to get closer to the ghost ship, but their ghost domains completely failed after the distance to the ghost ship was reduced to a certain range.

Although the ghost realm is a rare type of supernatural phenomenon.

But even within the Ghost Realm, there are varying degrees of strength.

Faced with the ghost ship's supernatural power, the ghost domains of these captain-level ghost tamers were as fragile as paper, easily defeated by a dimensional reduction attack.

Once they get close to the ghost ship, their supernatural abilities all fail, and they all fall into the icy sea.

"Unable to turn the ghost ship around, or even board it..."

"Are we really just going to have to watch the ghost ship land?"

At this moment, He Yin'er, the team leader from headquarters, appeared on the scene.

Many people don't know that he is the captain who was rumored to be trapped on the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office.

Her other identity is that of the last soul-summoning person in Taiping Ancient Town.

He Yin'er, Captain Yinzi.

She is an anomaly among ghost tamers.

Their method of becoming outcasts is also unique; it's like exploiting a bug in the rules of the necromancer to extend their lifespan.

He Yin'er glanced at the enormous creature looming in and out of the mist in the distance and said, "To fight against the ghost ship, the supernatural forces of our time are probably insufficient..."

"what do you mean?"

"Only by bringing in a ghost-controlling master of the caliber of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China would we have any chance of winning."

The Seven Elders of the Republic of China?
Many ordinary paranormal practitioners may never have heard of this name.

However, at the captain level, most of them had heard of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

It is said that these seven ghost tamers are all at the pinnacle of the supernatural.

If it weren't for lifespan limitations, they could even have ended this paranormal era...
It's easy to invite a ghost tamer of this caliber, but who can actually do it?

“I can summon the spirits and invite Luo Qian, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. Senior Luo controls endless grave soil and can bury all the supernatural things in this world. Surely, with his help, we can stop the ghost ship from landing.”

Burying Luo Qian in this world.

If what He Yin'er said is true, and they can get Luo Qian to help, then there might actually be hope of stopping the ghost ship from landing...

Upon hearing this, a sense of anticipation arose in everyone's hearts.

But at this moment, another captain stepped in and poured cold water on the idea.

"It's no use. Luo Qian's supernatural abilities are indeed terrifying, and there is even hope of stopping this ghost ship, but don't forget that ghosts cannot be killed... The ghost ship is not human, nor is it a ghost tamer. It cannot be killed, it can only be suppressed temporarily."

"Even if we summon the Seven Elders of the Republic of China through a spirit summoning ritual, how long can the suppression last? Once the effect of the spirit summoning ends, the ghost ship will reappear. In the end, the King's Organization will still emerge victorious."

The person who spoke was named Wang Chaling.

He used to be a very low-profile figure in the paranormal community.

His identity is very special; he is a third-generation ghost.

Like Zhang Jun, Wang Chaling did not appear at the headquarters' team leader meeting. He was among the first batch of team leaders pre-selected by the headquarters.

It can be said that Wang Chaling was destined for greatness from birth because of his parents and grandparents.

Someone retorted, "What do you mean? This won't work, that won't work, so why don't you come up with some solutions instead of just throwing cold water on things?"

Wang Chaling seemed unconcerned about what others thought of him.

He adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "Our Wang family mansion has always had a secret about the pendulum clock curse, which is the same pendulum clock curse that Captain Lu from headquarters investigated before."

"If the ghost ship is contained within the area affected by the pendulum clock, and the pendulum clock is used to adjust the ghost ship's time, making it different from real time... as long as this plan is successfully implemented, the ghost ship will disappear from this world forever."

Compared to the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, there were clearly even fewer ghost-controlling individuals who knew about the curse on the Wang family's pendulum clock.

But this did not prevent them from understanding the core of Wang Chaling's words.

He has a way to make the ghost ship disappear forever.

Cao Yanhua glanced at Wang Chaling and nodded, saying, "If you're confident, you can give it a try."

The next moment, a worn-out old pendulum clock was taken out.

This pendulum clock has incredible power; it can even influence the laws of time.

However, the limitation is that the range of influence that the pendulum clock's supernatural power can have is limited.

However, simply enveloping the ghost ship shouldn't pose too much of a problem.

It's hard to believe that such a terrifying supernatural phenomenon actually exists.

After learning the terrifying nature of the pendulum curse, those who had previously objected to Wang Chaling becoming the captain were now at peace with it.

As expected, the headquarters did not select team leaders randomly.

Time passed second by second, and Wang Chaling adjusted the clock, affecting the time in a certain area.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The surrounding scenery is gradually disappearing.

But inexplicably, the enormous ghost ship did not disappear with the tolling of the bell; instead, it continued to approach the shore rapidly in an inexplicable manner… (End of Chapter)
