Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

"That bizarre object that drove about a hundred people in the mall mad."

The Spider-Man said with a grave expression, "He Wei, the one the cultist's spokesperson calls 'The Turbid Pot.'"

"The way to use this strange object is quite simple. After heating it to a certain temperature with an ordinary flame, some black liquid will be secreted from the body of the pot. This black liquid is also called 'turbid water'. This turbid water..."

Over the next period of time, the Spider Man explained in detail to Blood Floating Pagoda how to use the mysterious object, the Turbid Pot, and the effects of its turbid water.

Of course, this also includes how to use the mysterious object, the Filthy Pot, to bring those who have gone mad in the mall back to normal.

Finally, the spider-man paused slightly, then said with a strange expression, "However, just as we were getting the method of using this strange object from He Wei, that apprentice had already figured out how to use it beforehand, and without any practice or approval, he used it on those who went mad."

Upon hearing his apprentice's actions, Xue Futu's previously calm face twitched slightly, and he asked with a hint of helplessness, "So, what was the result?"

Although he already knew what the apprentices' "behavior" was like at headquarters, the other party's talent was indeed very high, which is why the old guys at headquarters kept protecting him. Even though the other party had committed some "good deeds" that were enough to warrant being locked up for several months, in the end he only received a verbal reprimand.

Moreover, it is said that ever since the apprentice got a gold badge not long ago, those old guys have been showing off all their best tricks to him.

However, it was precisely because of this that Xue Futu used his past connections and favors to invite this "great god" to Binhai.

"Those who went mad have all regained their senses, but it seems that because they were so 'mad' during this period, many of them are in poor health. Fortunately, there have been no casualties."

At this point, the spider-man paused again, then said in a serious tone, "But... when we first locked those people up, a few of them still... because of their self-harming behavior when they went berserk..."

Upon hearing this, Blood Buddha naturally understood what the Spider Man meant by what he hadn't finished saying.

He immediately sighed, then shook his head, and said in a slightly solemn tone, "This is something that cannot be avoided. At least we have done our best to save those innocent lives."

After saying that, Xue Futu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression darkened slightly.

If it weren't for his own injuries, and the fact that he had to be constantly on guard against the few cultists lurking in Binhai, he, as the pillar of the Binhai Night Demon Division, could have easily handled the strangeness and trouble in that shopping mall all by himself.

But he can't do that.

The events that occurred in the mall that day were very likely a trap set by the cultists, perhaps to create a diversion or to lure the enemy away from their base.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Blood Buddha entrusted this task to Spider Man and Xiao He.

Thinking this, Blood Buddha also pulled himself out of his thoughts, and then looked at the Spider Man and said, "Continue."

Spider-Man nodded and replied without hesitation, "The next piece of information concerns the cultist behind He Wei."

"A man from the West of the Alliance."

According to He Wei, this Western man usually wore a black suit and a black top hat, and looked elegant and gentlemanly.

At this point, the Spider-Man paused for a moment before slowly saying, "However, while He Wei was introducing this cultist, he almost woke up from the hypnotic state several times. Fortunately, the hypnotist re-hypnotized him in time; otherwise, unless the ghost returned, the interrogation would have been very difficult to continue."

According to the hypnotist, the "sedative" used to aid hypnosis should not be used in large quantities at once, otherwise it might cause irreparable damage to He Wei's brain.

Before we can fully extract all the useful information from He Wei's mind, his brain is still quite important.

"The hypnotist said that it seemed that He Wei deeply admired that cult member, and when the cult member was mentioned, a large amount of 'admiration' would unconsciously surge in his subconscious, which affected the hypnosis process."

Blood Buddha frowned slightly. Although the spider man's words sounded "useless," he quickly understood the meaning behind them.

"It seems that the cultists behind He Wei will be difficult to deal with."

At this moment, Xue Futu also thought of the situation regarding the spokesperson of the Trickster Cult.

He immediately realized that this guy named He Wei was another spokesperson for a cult, who was like a fanatical believer and a fanatical follower.

If an ordinary person can genuinely admire another person, it can only mean that that person must possess some outstanding qualities.

Unfortunately, a cultist with a bright spot is quite a problem for Guiyesi.

Thinking of this, Blood Buddha asked again, "Is there anything else to add regarding this cultist?"

Upon hearing this, the Spider-Man first nodded, then shook his head.

"Every time we questioned this cultist, He Wei's reaction was too intense. In order to maintain the hypnosis process, we didn't continue to ask him questions. Now, besides knowing some characteristics of this cultist, we only know that he calls himself a 'magician.'"

"magician?"

Blood Buddha's eyes narrowed.

He felt like he had heard the name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where he was looking for it.

Thinking of this, Xue Futu cursed inwardly.

Although his injuries did not damage his brain, he was affected by "aging." Not only did his body age like that of a man in his sixties, but his memory also became like that of an old man, and he would forget things from time to time.

So he looked at the Spider-Man and asked, "Is this guy called the Magician on the Alliance's list of cultists?"

Spider-Man shook his head: "No."

Only those cultists who act cleanly and efficiently without leaving any trace will not appear on the Alliance's list of cultists, except for some "newcomers".

Strangely, Xue Futu felt an inexplicable familiarity with the word "magician".

If he hadn't seen the name on the Alliance's list of cultists, then it was only possible that he had heard the name from someone else.

"Who exactly told me this?" Blood Buddha's eyes flashed with doubt.

Thinking of this, Blood Buddha, who really couldn't remember, felt troubled by this cultist called the Magician, but he didn't forget to ask Spider Man for one last important piece of information.

The spider-man's expression hardened, and he spoke.

"He Wei deliberately exposed himself."

These eight short words caused Xue Futu to furrow his brow deeply.

"What do you mean?"

Spider-Man explained, "That cultist called Magician gave He Wei a task: to find an opportunity to inadvertently reveal his identity as a cultist's spokesperson in order to attract the attention of our Binhai Night Division."

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

Xue Futu frowned and pressed for an answer.

At the same time, he was secretly thinking to himself, "This is indeed a trap."

I just don't know what the purpose of that cultist called the Magician was in using his own subordinates as bait.

It can't really be as simple as just getting their attention.

After all, for Blood Buddha, this was practically handing over "performance points" to them.

It could be, as he had previously thought, a feint, a diversionary tactic, or something else entirely... to confuse the issue.

However, when asked about the Blood Buddha, the Spider Man shook his head again and replied, "He Wei doesn't know the specific purpose. He always only asks about the time and place when the magician tells him to do something, never about the reason. But after telling He Wei to expose his identity in Binhai, the magician said something to him."

Blood Buddha looked at the Spider Man and asked, "What did you say?"

The Spider-Man, his face grave, said in a low voice, "Make the waters of the coast even more murky!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Futu felt as if a steel needle had pierced his head, causing him a severe headache.

He couldn't understand what the coastal city had done to offend those cultists.

Meanwhile, after listening to the three important pieces of information reported by the Spider Man, Xue Futu, who was troubled by the current situation in Binhai, also fell into deep thought. The Spider Man, on the other hand, quietly watched Xue Futu, who was frowning, and remained silent.

As Blood Buddha and Spider Man fell silent, the atmosphere in the office became heavy.

After a long while, Xue Futu, who had thoroughly reviewed these three crucial pieces of information, took a deep breath and whispered, "So, the cultists' schemes in Binhai still haven't yielded any results?"

These three pieces of important intelligence only mentioned one cultist who called himself "The Magician" from beginning to end, but Blood Floating Pagoda clearly knew that there was definitely more than one cultist in the current coastal area.

Hearing this, the Spider Man's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "They've been hiding very well this time. I guess we'll only find out what those cultists are plotting when the truth is revealed."

"By then, it will be too late."

Xue Futu shook his head helplessly, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked up at the Binhai City Guiye Division branch building that was about to be completed on the construction site not far away.

Compared to their temporary three-story coastal branch of the Night Demon Division, that building was the proper facade of a Night Demon Division branch.

However, if those cultists stir up too many waves on the coast and accidentally "submerge" the entire city, then even if this building is completed, it will have no purpose.

At that moment, the Spider Man, who had somehow appeared beside Blood Floating Pagoda, also looked up at the building on the construction site outside the window.

He wondered when it would be finished.

After a long while, Blood Buddha's deep voice rang in Spider Man's ears again.

"A lot of people must have died during this period."

Spider-Man nodded: "Yes, the bizarre attacks in Binhai have been happening more and more frequently lately, and many of these incidents have the shadow of the Twisted Cult behind them."

Blood Buddha turned to look at Spider Man and asked, "Are we short-handed?"

Upon hearing this, the spider-man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded heavily.

"Yes."

Actually, the manpower in Binhai should be just enough.

However, some time ago, Blood Floating Pagoda transferred most of the manpower in Binhai in order to hunt down a cultist who seemed to be called "Undead". Even the main force of the original Binhai Special Operations Team was transferred away without leaving a single one.

Moreover, not long ago, even Spider-Man's original partner, Ghost, was sent out by Blood Floating Pagoda to carry out a mission that even he was unaware of.

Of course, the eldest brother has his own reasons for doing things, and it's not appropriate for the younger brother to question him.

Even though Spider-Man felt that Blood Floating Pagoda's actions were not very rational.

At this moment, Blood Buddha suddenly reached out and patted the Spider Man on the shoulder, saying, "You've worked hard these past few days."

The spider-man shook his head and said, "It's not hard work."

My life has been a bit tough.

Then, the voice of Blood Buddha slowly rose.

"After a while, our people and the original people from Binhai City will all be back, and then you won't have to be busy all the time."

After saying that, Xue Futu looked out the window again, but this time, he did not look at the building under construction not far away, but at the blue sky, and murmured something.

"Those cultists will definitely pay the price for what they have done."

Spider-Man nodded.

Although he felt that his boss was giving him pep talks, it didn't matter, because he agreed with his boss as a person, not with the pep talks.

Just then, Blood Buddha turned to the Spider Man again and said, "By the way, before those people return, there's something else I need to tell you."

"Our Coastal Night Watch Division is about to welcome a new member."

Spider-Man: "...?"

......

Around dusk, the Spider Man called Xiao He and said he wanted to introduce him to a new old friend.

Xiao He: "...?"

What does "newcomer to the old" mean?

Did he mishear, or did Spider-Man say something wrong again?

Huh?

Why did he say "again"?

Not long after, when Xiao He arrived at the office downstairs and met the so-called "new old friend" that the Spider Man had mentioned, he immediately understood.

"Is it you?"
