In the investigation of paranormal events

After Jiang Cheng is officially promoted to a containment expert, he can select several containment items to help him in the future.

Containment objects are both the targets of containment specialists and the most direct way for them to improve their combat capabilities.

After Jiang Cheng officially became a containment expert, his level was temporarily set at C-level, and according to regulations, he could choose one C-level containment object.

As the level of a containment specialist increases, they can carry more containment items and higher-specification containment items. For example, Chen Ran, as a B-level containment specialist, carries four containment items, three of which are B-level containment items.

However, even so, a containment specialist is generally not allowed to carry more than five containment items. This is a rule set by the Containment Headquarters that all containment specialists must abide by, even those of Rank A.

This is mainly to prevent the large-scale loss of containment items after the death of containment specialists, since the purpose of the organization and the goal of containment specialists is to recover containment items.

If a large number of containment items are lost due to the death of one person, then the next containment specialist will need to use several or even multiple lives to fill the gap. This backward situation is something that headquarters does not want to see, which is why this regulation was established.

Of course, if a containment specialist wants to change the containment object, that is also possible. However, there are level restrictions on the replacement of containment objects. A Class C containment specialist can only replace Class C containment objects, and so on.

As the level of a containment specialist increases, their experience also grows, leading to greater containment capabilities and significantly improved problem-solving and analytical skills. For security reasons, only highly skilled containment specialists can possess higher-level containment objects.

This is not due to bias from headquarters, but rather out of consideration for the safety of the contained objects. Generally, cases handled by more advanced containment specialists are also more difficult.

Of course, they'll die even faster.

If needed during a mission, you can report and request approval for the required containment items. Headquarters will approve them, but they must be returned after the mission is completed.

"Ahem! Anyway! You can now choose a Class C containment item, and we've already prepared one for you."

Then, in front of Jiang Cheng, Jiang pulled off the black cloth on the table, revealing three containment items. These were specially prepared by Jiang for Jiang Cheng, and were selected based on analysis and comparison to find the most suitable containment items for him.

Let me introduce it to you.

"The first containment item is numbered 4673 and codenamed Ghost Bracelet. It can greatly suppress the eeriness of ghosts, even fierce ghosts. It is very suitable for your Yin-Yang Eyes and can be said to be the best choice for containing ghosts."

"We've personally tested this ability, so you don't need to worry about its effectiveness."

"Ghost Bracelet?" Jiang Cheng murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on it.

This is a jade green bracelet. Aside from being pretty, it doesn't seem much different from an ordinary bracelet, but in terms of effect…

I do seem to need this bracelet, so that I can contain any kind of strangeness, as long as I suppress it to a level that I can absorb.

"This is the second contained object, 7946, codenamed Soul-Slaying Blade. It is one of the few rare objects that can kill demons. In addition, it can also shatter the supernatural and damage the soul."

"Hmm...it seems quite practical, even ordinary people can use it, but it seems a bit redundant to me."

Jiang Cheng looked at the knife, which resembled a Japanese samurai sword. He couldn't very well carry it with him while on a mission, so he decided against it.

"The third containment item is the Black Ring. To be honest, I don't recommend you choose it. Its function is to suppress Oddities significantly, and not just Oddities, but almost any strange object, and even any containment item with an effect!"

"But its drawback is instability. Its use is very inconsistent; sometimes it works, and sometimes it has no effect at all. However, it doesn't have any side effects."

"However, according to our research, this containment object is likely alive, but it has fallen into a dormant state. We have tried various methods but have been unable to wake it up. If we can wake it up, its abilities may increase to another level."

"However, based on its current capabilities, its level can only be tentatively set at C."

Jiang Cheng looked at the ring. Although it was called the Black Ring, it was clearly more appropriate to call it the Dragon Ring.

This is a ring that is neither too big nor too small, just the right size for an adult's finger. However, unlike ordinary rings, it is decorated with a dragon, a miniature black dragon, which is winding and twisting on the ring with its eyes closed, as if it were asleep.

"Is this the Black Ring?" Jiang Cheng muttered.

"Its suppression effect is very strong, but its drawback is that it is not very stable."

"Compared to this, I recommend you choose the Ghost Bracelet, as it can reliably suppress the supernatural power of ghosts."

Listening to Jiang's suggestion, Jiang Cheng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng finally made a decision.

"I choose the Black Ring."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's choice, Jiang frowned and then sighed. He hadn't expected that Jiang Cheng would ultimately choose this containment item.

Well, since it's his decision, Jiang has no choice but to respect it.

After all, he had already told Jiang Cheng about the side effects.

"Jiang Cheng, the side effects of this black ring are greater than you think. If it doesn't work in a crisis, then you might..."

"No need, Jiang, my mind is made up, this is the one."

"Even if it can't help me at crucial moments, I'm confident I can get rid of those troubles."

"All right."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng had made up her mind, Jiang did not try to persuade her to stay any longer.

Jiang Cheng picked up the black ring, put it on her ring finger, looked at it, and felt that it was no different from usual.

"How do I use it?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Just try to activate it," Jiang said.

"The Black Ring," Jiang Cheng said calmly.

Surprisingly, it actually worked.

The next moment, the black dragon coiled on the black ring suddenly opened its eyes, which were blood red! Then, the black ring began to emit a strange power, which quickly enveloped the area!

Instantly, all contained objects in the vicinity were greatly suppressed! Even the supernatural was no exception!

After about ten seconds, the black dragon's eyes slowly closed, as if it had fallen asleep again, and the suppression effect of the Black Ring also stopped.

"incredible……"

Jiang Cheng said with some surprise.

Although it only lasted for a dozen seconds, the suppression effect was so strong that it was as if all the containment objects around it had become ineffective! Moreover, if it could maintain its performance consistently, the Black Ring's containment level would be at least B-grade!

"Alright, Jiang Cheng, since you've chosen the Black Ring, from now on it will be your exclusive containment object."

"Remember not to reveal this information to anyone, including your friends."

"The most important thing for a containment specialist is information; you should know that."

"I know." Jiang Cheng understood what Jiang meant, as Chen Ran had told him before.

"Okay, I don't really have anything to do here. I only asked you to come to select containment objects." Jiang adjusted his glasses and waved his hand.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Jiang Cheng then left.

Watching Jiang Cheng's departing figure, Jiang sighed and murmured, "Jiang Cheng, the Black Ring has a very high potential, but whether it can be awakened depends on you."

"After all, we've tried many methods but all have failed. If you can wake her up, she'll at least be a Class A containment object."

【Item No. 0172 - "The Black Ring"】

【level:???】

[Description: The ring is shaped like a coiled black dragon. It is entirely black, a normal size, just enough for an adult to wear, and has the effect of suppressing supernatural forces.]

[Content: After activating the Black Ring, it will release a special barrier around it. The barrier can only last for a dozen seconds at most, but all contained objects within the barrier will be greatly suppressed, and the supernatural effects will be greatly reduced. However, it will then fall into a period of dormancy. In addition, the Black Ring is extremely unstable and sometimes it will "break down".]
