Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door
Chapter 38, Employee No. 3
Before the call ended, Link heard that something seemed to be going on on Qi Wanhe's end, with someone accusing Qi Wanhe of violating regulations and being suspected of leaking secrets.
"It's noisy over there. Do you want me to clean up some of the clutter for you?"
Link's intuition told him that these noisy people were closely related to his dismissal.
Fearing things would escalate, Qi Wanhe quickly said, "Don't worry about this. My parents are quite well-off, so everything will be fine. Go buy a phone first."
Link's old phone was broken when he was imprisoning the vengeful spirit, and he didn't want to carry two phones, so he hadn't bought a new one. Now it seems that a personal phone is indeed necessary.
It's very frustrating to be held hostage by headquarters.
"Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible. Let's talk again tonight."
Link glanced at the staff who were working hard to set up a cordon in the distance, then turned and left with Yan Li.
"Mr. Lin, are we just going to abandon this situation?"
Zhang Han had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. When he saw the group approaching, he offered them cigarettes while inquiring about the situation.
He was already prepared to use the power of the vengeful spirit within his body, so not using supernatural methods now was undoubtedly the best outcome.
Yang Jian waved his hand in refusal. His mother was strict with him, and although his grades were not good, he had not developed any bad habits.
Linke and Yanli took the cigarettes, took a deep drag, and exhaled long plumes of smoke, as if trying to release all the pent-up frustration in their hearts.
Link's eerie black eyes flickered in and out of view amidst the swirling smoke as he casually remarked:
"As you can see, just now, I lost my job and am no longer the city manager of headquarters. From now on, even if you commit murder and arson, I will have no authority over you. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."
"this……"
In the eyes of wild ghost tamers, the only organization that can reliably help people control a second ghost is the Ghost Tamer Headquarters. Yan Li survived only because he received help from the headquarters thanks to Link's name.
Now that he's no longer in charge, it's utterly absurd to think he could get the chance to control a second vengeful ghost.
Ouyang Tian was an indecisive person to begin with, so he gave a wry smile and handed over a business card: "President Lin, this is my business card. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future. I am also currently serving as a bodyguard and cannot leave. Please excuse me for now."
Link didn't answer, treating Ouyang Tian as if he didn't exist.
Having made a fool of himself, Ouyang Tian grinned, turned around, got back into his car, and sped away.
After Ouyang Tian left, Zhang Han stared into Lin Ke's eyes and smiled gently: "In my eyes, President Lin is President Lin. He has nothing to do with being the head of headquarters. I want to be President Lin's number two employee. I wonder if I have that honor."
Zhang Han is older and has experienced a lot of hardship in his early years in society, but he also has a clearer understanding of the hierarchy and rules of large organizations.
He had seen Link's file; he was an ordinary high school student who had been a Ghost Tamer for less than ten days and had been with headquarters for even less time, probably not even having completed the employee badge process.
No matter how talented or skilled at catching ghosts, it's impossible to obtain the precious quota of controlling a second vengeful ghost from headquarters.
Unless his father is the head of headquarters.
Unfortunately, Link, who was dismissed during the mission, was clearly not one of them.
Then there's only one possibility: Link found the method to control the second vengeful spirit himself.
All in! We have to go all in!
Zhang Han didn't want to miss out on such a promising stock.
Unexpectedly, Link slowly shook his head.
Under Zhang Han's disappointed gaze, the handsome young man slowly said, "No, there's already a second employee. You can only be number three."
Zhao Lei joined the team early; he was the second employee.
Life is full of ups and downs!
Even Zhang Han, a heavy smoker, choked and coughed until tears welled up in his eyes: "Cough cough... It's alright, President Lin, I'm your soldier!"
"Sure, we have nothing to do tonight anyway, so it's a good opportunity to get together."
As the long night approaches, on the empty streets, a satellite-guided mobile phone lies on the ground, still flashing the message "You do not have permission to use this device." Further away, the terrifying ghost continues its relentless march towards the Guanjiang residential area.
Two cars roared away, carrying several people, leaving behind only a mess.
……
"Link, I heard you're not in charge of the city anymore? That's perfect! You can be the security captain at Guanjiang Residential Complex, play games with me every day, and I'll have my dad pay you a salary!"
That evening, after the Ghost Tamer team's initial gathering for dinner, Linke, Yang Jian, and Yan Li returned to Guanjiang Community. Zhang Wei then emerged from the villa area and offered Linke a high salary as a consolation prize.
Link was both amused and exasperated, never expecting that the position of "King of Security" in the Guanjiang residential area, which he had once hoped for, would be realized so quickly.
"The scenery in Guanjiang Community is quite nice, and it's indeed a suitable place for retirement. When I get old, I'll just work as a security guard here and live a carefree life."
The way of the demon tamer is to advance or die; Link cannot stop now.
As Link comes into contact with more vengeful spirits, the apprentice spirit falls into a deep sleep, and his ambition grows little by little.
The vengeful spirits in this world are ultimately just manifestations of the rules. Most of them lack intelligence. As long as you find the patterns of killing and collect the puzzle pieces, becoming stronger is not difficult.
The pinnacle of this world is not occupied by gods, ancient beings, or outward deities, nor by brutal battles between beings of similar order, nor by the covetousness of the will of the Primordial One, the Celestial Being, or God…
By training apprentice ghosts step by step, one can even become the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates or even the Lord of Mysteries.
Zhang Wei exclaimed, "Well, you actually want to collect a salary without working? You've only been in headquarters for a few days and you've already picked up this bad habit. No way, at least you have to play games with me."
"Sure, I'm free tonight, we can stay up all night."
Lin Ke thought of Lin Qingyuan, who was approaching, and out of concern for Zhang Wei's safety, he nodded in agreement.
Zhang Wei then looked at Yang Jian: "Come on, Yang Jian, come along too. I just renovated a professional-grade e-sports room today, the feel is amazing."
Yang Jian originally wanted to go back and argue with Sister Jiang, but as soon as he heard about the e-sports room, he couldn't move. He blinked and said, "Okay, I'll go check it out."
Just then, his phone rang; it was Liu Xiaoyu from headquarters.
"Yang Jian, the punishment for Link's supervisor has been announced. Would you like to hear it?"
Seeing Link shake his head indifferently, Yang Jian snorted: "He won't listen. Link is already preparing to start his own paranormal company. Let whoever wants to go to the headquarters go. I don't care. That's it. Bye."
Liu Xiaoyu quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't hang up yet, they haven't finished speaking. Regarding the ownership of the vengeful ghosts you've imprisoned, I heard that headquarters has already sent ghost tamers to retrieve them. They're very powerful, so you mustn't get into a conflict with them."
Yang Jian immediately bristled. He was no longer a novice; he knew the value of a vengeful ghost.
"Reclaim vengeful ghosts? Don't even think about it! We risked our lives to imprison them, and these office-bound scoundrels think they can take away our hard work with just a few words? No way!"
Link added, "Want a vengeful ghost? Sure, all the vengeful ghosts I've caught are here. Come and take them if you dare, otherwise leave your life behind."
He handed over the vengeful spirit to the other ghost tamers at headquarters, who then helped headquarters deal with him.
This is blatant aiding the enemy!
Besides, who on Link's side doesn't need a vengeful spirit right now? There aren't even enough for their own people, how could they possibly give some to outsiders?
Liu Xiaoyu's voice softened considerably: "Next, the position of city manager in Dachang City is vacant. Are you interested in taking it? You can start working very quickly after receiving training in Dajing City."
Yang Jian's face darkened, and he was about to refuse, but Link pressed down on his shoulder.
"Promise her. If the new head of Dachang City is difficult to deal with, it will be a loss."
Yang Jian's eyes darted around, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "I need to think about this first. You removed Link without even giving me a heads-up, which scared me. How about this, I can take over the position and handle paranormal events. In the meantime, send me two red candles and two white candles as a token of your sincerity, and I will reluctantly agree to headquarters' request."
The red ghost candle is so useful, it's practically a second life. It's a pity that the red candle he took from Link to save Yan Li has been used up to only have a small piece left.
"I can only report this for you. It's alright for now. You can rest first. Tomorrow, remember to cooperate with the person in charge who comes to help to detain that vengeful ghost named Lin Qingyuan."
"Tch, I'm not in charge, I have no obligation to do that. I still need to play the game, so I'm really going to die."
The three claimed they would play all night, but after actually getting started, they only played for the first half of the night before going home to rest.
Lin Ke first dialed Qi Wanhe's number, left his new number, and then kept an eye on Lin Qingyuan's location.
Discovering that the city's law enforcement bureau was attempting to restrain Lin Qingyuan overnight with pure gold iron chains, greatly slowing him down, he felt relieved and went to sleep.
Although he lost his position, he gained his freedom.
Tomorrow, let Yang Jian retrieve the coffin nails, and we'll set off together to take down Ghost Shadow Head first.
Previously, the ghost was not imprisoned at the Furen Shopping Mall because the ghost's supernatural abilities involved the level of consciousness.
At that time, Link and his two companions were only riding one ghost and were not in good condition, so they were likely to suffer a loss against Ghost Head.
We can only play it safe for now.
