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

Chapter 9: A Call from Headquarters (Please continue reading)

Yang Jian had just returned to Dachang City when he received a call from headquarters.

The person making the call was operator Liu Xiaoyu.

"Yang Jian, Xu Feng's satellite signal just disappeared. How did your mission go?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's expression darkened.

He didn't confront headquarters, but unexpectedly, headquarters called him instead, and in this accusatory tone.

“This matter involves too many things. You don’t have the authority to let Zhao Jianguo answer the phone.”

"You can tell me directly if there's anything you need. Captain Zhao, he..."

"Call Zhao Jianguo here."

Yang Jian repeated it one last time, his tone chillingly cold.

Liu Xiaoyu pursed her lips, wanting to retort, but seeing Yang Jian's firm attitude, she ultimately didn't dare to speak.

After a burst of noise, a deep male voice came from the other end of the satellite phone.

"Hey, Yang Jian, this is Zhao Jianguo. You can tell me what's wrong."

"Preparing to create a new paranormal file, paranormal level X."

X-level paranormal files represent paranormal events of unknown terror.

Given Liu Xiaoyu's current rank, she certainly doesn't have the authority to access this level of classified information.

Subsequently, Yang Jian reported what happened on the ghost bus to Zhao Jianguo, asking him to record it truthfully in the file.

However, he omitted a considerable amount of information about Lu Ming.

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Zhao Jianguo said, "It's normal that you couldn't save Xu Feng after such a dangerous supernatural event. Don't blame yourself. But... do you know anything about Lu Ming's situation?"

Although Yang Jian only briefly mentioned Lu Ming's situation, Zhao Jianguo still keenly noticed that Lu Ming was different.

"I only know that he became a Ghost Tamer by chance, but I haven't had much contact with him and don't know anything else."

After saying that, Yang Jian didn't give Zhao Jianguo a chance to speak again and hung up the phone directly.

Assigning him this task by headquarters is no different from sending him to his death.

To be honest, Yang Jian harbored resentment.

Moreover, given Xu Feng's personality, he would definitely have sabotaged himself if it weren't for Lu Ming.

Zhao Jianguo told him not to blame himself too much.
What a joke.

The headquarters wouldn't even give him some compensation, so what's there for him to blame himself for?

Meanwhile, in J City, at the headquarters of the Ghost Riders, the Asian branch.

Zhao Jianguo stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up.

He then instructed Liu Xiaoyu in the liaison room: "Go and try to contact a ghost tamer named Lu Ming, and while you're at it, investigate his background."

"If there's an opportunity, try to recruit him to headquarters."

"Ok."

The Ghost Riders headquarters has extensive authority, especially at Zhao Jianguo's level. Finding all of a person's information can be done in a matter of minutes.

But after trying for a while, Liu Xiaoyu only found one number.

All other information about Lu Ming is blank.

Even this number seems to have been deliberately left behind by some being, inexplicably eerie.

“A person will leave a trace as long as they live in this society… But this Lu Ming not only has no identity information, family, job, but even no social media account.”

"Do such people really exist? Or were all these things erased by some supernatural force?"

A chill ran through Liu Xiaoyu and Zhao Jianguo at the same time.

With a heavy heart, Liu Xiaoyu dialed the number.
the other side.

Dachang City.

By utilizing the characteristics of the Ghost Realm, Ghost Masters can move at high speeds using supernatural powers.

But Lu Ming did not do that.

For him now, this mode of transportation is too extravagant and offers no cost-effectiveness whatsoever.

After getting off the bus, Lu Ming arrived at his new home in this world for the first time.

All he has now is a satellite phone and a virtual bank card connected to the internet.

There was 100,000 yuan in his bank card. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for Lu Ming to find a suitable place to stay temporarily.

The reason for choosing Dachang City is that after the S-level starving ghost incident, Dachang City will become the safest place in the short term.

Especially in sparsely populated suburbs, the probability of encountering paranormal events is greatly reduced.

"If we're lucky, the first phase of the mission won't be too difficult to complete. We'll then be able to gain attribute points and temporarily leave the mysterious resurrection world."

"However... the problem of the vengeful ghost's resurgence has only been alleviated, not completely resolved. As an ancient saying goes, 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' I must find a way to control the complete wailing ghost as soon as possible in order to balance the mummified bride."

Lu Ming analyzed his current situation.

It's not exactly optimistic, but it's not like there's no way out either.

Compared to others, his advantage lies in completing tasks in the God Space, which allows him to obtain attribute points and then allocate them to strengthen himself.

It was for this reason that Lu Ming did not die immediately after being led by the mummified bride, but survived and became a ghost tamer.

Moreover, after becoming a Ghost Master, the challenges of the other horror movie instances in the Main God Space were not that great for him.

They could even see those instances as a chance to break the deadlock.

"In the original world, I should have died in a car accident, my consciousness would have vanished forever, and my body would have returned to dust."

"But now that the Main God Space has given me hope to live, even if the situation is dark and hopeless, I will do everything in my power to seize this last chance."

"I have only one goal."

"That is to survive."

Lu Ming made up his mind in his heart.

Just then, the satellite phone rang.

The caller wasn't Yang Jian, but a completely unfamiliar number.

"It must have been someone from headquarters calling."

Lu Ming answered the phone.

A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Most of the operators are women because, in the view of headquarters, women's voices are often considered to have a soothing effect.

But Lu Ming thought the decision was quite foolish.

An ordinary person, regardless of gender, only has a hearsay understanding of paranormal events and has never experienced them personally.

Having such people as operators creates too many communication difficulties.

"Hello, this is Liu Xiaoyu, the operator at the Ghost Rider headquarters. Is this Lu Ming?"

"If you have anything to do, just tell me."

Following the procedure, Liu Xiaoyu said, "According to the information, you were affected by the recent paranormal event codenamed 'Ghost Bus' and became a Ghost Tamer. We would like to extend a special invitation to you to join the Ghost Tamer Headquarters and enjoy generous benefits."

"In addition, you have an obligation to report to us all the details of the ghost bus incident."
