Everyone's Suppressing Ghosts: Others Contract Divine Weapons, I Contract Blank Paper

We'll talk about that in Chapter 30 and beyond! The Shen family's invitation...

The main screen went black.

There is no video.

There are no words.

There was only a blank space.

The sounds in the review room seemed to have been silenced.

Teacher Chen's hand stopped on the tablet.

She originally just wanted to add a screenshot of the stable state after the verification of half of the memorial photo.

The camera angle is slightly off.

I spotted Xu Du.

Then, the screen went blank.

The notification from the previous second still lingers in the bottom right corner of the main screen.

[Observation subjects being confirmed —]

Next, continue.

There was nothing there.

Gu Hanzhou looked at the main screen; the Soul-Suppressing Bell was still hanging on his wrist.

Qin Zhaoxue stood to the side, the Buddha-light protective mirror already retracted into her sleeve.

Song Lin's gaze darted back and forth between Xu Du and the half-face portrait.

He didn't say anything.

No one spoke up from the Jinggui Observation Zone either.

Deng Qi's tablet was still lit up.

There are three lines of text on it.

Xu Du used blank talisman paper to complete the cross-regional lockdown.

[Xu Du used a broken-tooth wooden comb to remove mental pollution.]

[Xu Du used a white paper soul-guiding lamp to guide half of the portrait, predicting the location of the wandering spirit in 5 seconds.]

The fourth line is empty.

He stared at the blank screen, his fingers frozen for a long time.

Lin Xue stood in the first row.

She looked at half of the portrait first.

Let's look at Xu Du next.

Xu Du stood outside the core-covering array.

He was carrying a white paper lantern to guide the soul.

A black cloth hung down.

The light is not on.

It didn't move.

Teacher Chen finally moved.

She whispered, "The image is off."

This statement sounds like it's being said to someone else.

It's as if he's talking to himself.

She switched the camera back to the isolation frame.

Home screen restored.

Half of the portrait lay there quietly.

The left half was burned.

The right half is grayish-white.

The bottom right corner of the screen indicates that everything is normal.

[Current observation mode: Path.]

Teacher Chen then brought up the playback of the previous test.

Low-risk drones entered the simulated corridor.

The half-face portrait shows the location of the fork in the road five seconds later.

Song Lin was apprehended ahead of schedule.

[Prediction accurate.]

[Target captured: Successfully.]

The system is not broken.

Half of the photo was not damaged either.

Teacher Chen recalibrated the image source.

[Image source calibration in progress —]

[Half-face portrait status: Stable.]

[Pollution fluctuation: 0.8%]

[Observation Mode: Path.]

Everything is normal.

Teacher Chen's finger paused for half a second.

Then, she slowly moved the edge of the camera back towards Xu Du.

This time, everyone was looking at the main screen.

Xu Du's clothes just entered the edge of the frame.

The half-face portrait trembled slightly.

A notification popped up again in the bottom right corner of the main screen.

[Observation subjects being confirmed —]

Teacher Chen's knuckles tightened.

next second.

The home screen went blank again.

There is still no video.

There is still no notification.

There was only a blank space.

This time, even the breathing in the review room was quiet.

Someone opened their mouth.

I didn't dare say it out loud.

The half-face portrait, when viewed by a low-risk wandering spirit, could reveal its path five seconds later.

The Soul-Suppressing Bell can confirm Gu Hanzhou's identity in reverse.

The Buddha's Light Mirror can reflect the dark shadow behind Qin Zhaoxue.

For Thunderfire Talismans, the path of the talisman's failure can be revealed in advance.

It's not that it can't be photographed.

It was empty when it was allowed to cross.

Teacher Chen's hands began to tremble.

She glanced subconsciously at the outside of the core-covering array.

Then he looked away.

Suddenly, the old file about the white paper soul-guiding lamp popped into my mind.

[Three contracts failed.]

The first three partners all exhibited symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, sleepwalking, and attempts to summon spirits.

[It is recommended to seal or incinerate it.]

The first three were all insane.

Xu Du isn't crazy.

When someone is shown a half-face portrait, their death, path to failure, and future trajectory will be revealed.

There is nothing here in Xudu.

She looked up.

"Director Lin."

Lin Qingzhu had already walked over.

She stood in front of the control panel and glanced at the main screen.

I glanced at the half-face portrait again.

Finally, he looked at Xu Du.

Xu Du remained silent.

He simply stood outside the covering array, carrying a white paper soul-guiding lamp.

It was as calm as if it were waiting for the next sealed container.

Lin Qingzhu withdrew her gaze.

"Put it away."

Teacher Chen was taken aback.

"This record ————"

Lin Qingzhu said, "It won't be included in the file."

In the review room, several people looked up at the same time.

Teacher Chen lowered her voice: "—Why?"

Lin Qingzhu only replied with four words.

"We'll talk about it later."

There was no explanation.

There was no further explanation.

Teacher Chen paused for two seconds, then nodded.

She removed the two abnormal records from the official review file and transferred them to internal temporary storage.

On the main screen, the official conclusion regarding the half-face portrait has been reaffirmed.

[Half-face photo. 】

[Rating Revision: Abandoned → Special B-Rank Reconnaissance]

[Confirmation function: Displays short-term future trends.]

Effective time difference: 5 seconds.

[Number of tests: 3.]

[Number of hits: 3.]

[New character added: 现 (xiàn)]

[Status: Transferred to special observation library.]

Xu Du is not listed in the publicly available archives.

There are no blank spaces.

No exception.

But everyone in the review room saw it.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei observation area remains quiet.

Deng Qi stared at his tablet.

He wanted to write.

But I dare not write it.

The fourth line is empty.

Lin Xue did not look at Deng Qi.

She only glanced at Teacher Chen's tablet.

That abnormal record has been removed.

She didn't ask.

Teacher Chen turned off the external image of half of the portrait.

The second storage box was closed again.

The three latches fell down one after another.

Click.

Click.

Click.

Home screen refreshed.

[Second batch of review progress: 2/12.]

【Storage Box No. 1: Broken wooden comb.】

[Review Status: Passed.]

[Rating Correction: Special Grade B Support]

[Seal Box No. 2: Half of a portrait of the deceased.]

[Review Status: Passed.]

[Rating Correction: Special B-level Reconnaissance]

[Remaining storage boxes: 10.]

Lin Qingzhu looked at the tracks.

"continue."

Xu Du moved slightly.

He carried the white paper soul-guiding lamp and retreated to the outside of the covering array.

No blank was asked.

I didn't see Teacher Chen's hidden records either.

What just happened has nothing to do with him.

The third storage box slid into the core array.

Teacher Chen did not disclose her name.

Only the serial number and risk level are extracted.

【Storage Box No. 3.】

[Original rating: Discarded.]

[Original recommended action: Permanently archive.]

[Verification Method: Initial screening using a blank sheet of paper as a guide.]

The white paper lantern, under the black cloth, lit up for a fleeting moment without any flame.

Three blank talisman papers floated up.

There are no new words.

I just walked around the sealed box once.

Home screen refreshed.

[Pollution fluctuations: Stable.]

[Rule response: Weak.]

[Original reason for abandonment: pending further investigation.]

[Recommendation: Destroy the drugs temporarily and place the patient under special observation.]

Someone in the observation area was keeping their voice down.

"—Another unusual observation?"

"It did not pass."

"But don't burn it, brother."

"————This is outrageous enough."

Storage box number four has arrived.

[Review Method: Standard compression and retesting.]

[Pollution spillover: High.]

[Rule response: None.]

Recommendation: Maintain permanent archiving.

Storage box No. 5 has arrived.

The white paper lantern flickered for a fleeting moment.

Two blank talisman papers were raised and then fell.

[Rule response: Exists.]

[Usage path: Unknown.]

[Recommendation: Retain, pending special review.]

Storage box number six.

[Pollution spillover: China.]

[Possible misuse: Yes.]

[Recommendation: Transfer to special observation.]

Number seven.

number eight.

Number nine.

Number 10.

The 11th.

Number twelve.

Ten black storage boxes were loaded into the track one by one.

There have been no further medical applications like those for broken wooden combs.

There was no more five-second reconnaissance like the half-face portrait.

Xu Du did not write any new characters.

The white paper soul-guiding lamp only occasionally lights up when there is no flame.

The blank talisman paper floated up, circled the box once, and fell back into the paper box.

No one in the observation area felt bored.

Because every conclusion is changing.

Some remain sealed.

Some were temporarily decommissioned.

Some were changed from "permanently sealed" to "special observation".

Some of the reasons for abandonment were followed by an additional line:

[Suspected misuse.]

These four words are even more eye-catching than the rating upgrade.

1:17 PM.

The last storage box was locked again.

Teacher Chen projected the master table onto the main screen.

[Jiang Gui's Abandoned Town Building Reassessment Plan.]

[Second batch.]

Number of cases reviewed: 12.

[Review progress: 12/12.]

[All reviews completed.]

[Rating revision: 2 items.]

[4 items transferred to special observation]

[6 items to be permanently archived.]

[Direct incineration recommendation: 0 items.]

[New characters: 梳 (shū), 现 (xiàn)]

[New available areas: Debunking mental pollution, revealing short-term future trends.]

[Main Assistant: Xu Du.]

[Core trigger item: White paper soul-guiding lamp.]

The last line pops up.

There was a moment of silence in the review room.

Then, the whispers became impossible to suppress.

"All 12 items passed?"

"Just incinerate it, bro?"

"We used to burn a few pieces in each batch, didn't we?"

"This time, not a single one."

"Broken-tooth wooden comb, special grade B auxiliary."

"Half-face portrait, special B-level reconnaissance target."

"There are 4 items remaining; they will be placed under special observation."

"————The abandoned warehouse is not a garbage dump."

"I misread it before."

As soon as those words were spoken...

No one objected.

The data is right there on the main screen.

In the Beijing Ghost Observation Zone, several students had complicated expressions.

Lin Xue lowered her head and sent a message in the Beijing Ghost Stories Exchange Area.

This is not an isolated case.

After those four words were sent, the internal communication area of ​​Jinggui remained quiet for a long time.

Deng Qi saw it.

He did not refute it.

The college forum was also updated simultaneously.

[The second batch of abandoned town structures has been verified!]

[All 12 items were reviewed; 0 items were recommended for direct incineration!]

[Broken-tooth wooden comb: Special Grade B auxiliary item!]

[Half-face portrait: Special B-level reconnaissance!]

[New characters added: 梳 (shū), 现 (xiàn)!]

How many more are still hidden in this abandoned warehouse, bro?

Soon after, someone posted old files for comparison.

[White paper soul-guiding lamp: It is recommended to seal it away or burn it.]

[The paper effigies of mourning: to be permanently sealed away.]

[Unnamed memorial tablet: Permanently sealed.]

[Broken wooden comb: Permanently sealed.]

[Half-face portrait: Permanently sealed.]

Below that is the new statistics.

[Special Grade A: 1 item.]

[Special Grade B Support Items: 2 pieces.]

[Special Class B Control: 1 item.]

[Special Class B Reconnaissance Item: 1 piece.]

[Second batch directly burned: 0 items.]

Someone replied.

While others forged divine weapons, he forged an entire abandoned warehouse.

This sentence was featured on the homepage.

Teacher Chen stopped looking at the forum.

She is organizing the official files.

Broken-tooth wooden comb.

Half face photo.

Second batch of master tables.

Each document must be synchronized with the Jiang Gui review files, the Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau Town Property Section, and the Beijing Gui Exchange Group's observation copies.

Those two blank entries were not included in the official files.

She glanced at the internal temporary records.

[Abnormal development in half of the deceased's photograph.]

[Target: Xu Du.]

[Result: Blank.]

[Processing Status: Temporarily Reserved.]

[Whether to be included in the official file: No.]

Teacher Chen paused for a moment.

She glanced in Lin Qingzhu's direction.

Close the tablet.

Lin Qingzhu stood behind her.

"Public cache".

"Did you delete it?"

Teacher Chen nodded.

"Deleted."

Lin Qingzhu did not ask any further questions.

She looked outside the core array.

Xu Du is putting the remaining blank talisman papers back into the paper box.

The movements were very smooth.

Today, we just did a headcount of the inventory.

A white paper lantern, meant to guide the soul, hung beside his hand.

It was covered with a black cloth.

Teacher Chen couldn't help it.

"Xu Du".

Xu Du looked up.

"That blank space just now—"

Did you see that?

"I saw it."

"Aren't you going to ask?"

"I won't ask."

Teacher Chen remained silent.

1:29 PM.

A notification sound came from outside the review room.

[Application for external visitor access.]

[Visitor: The Shen family of Jiangcheng.]

[Request for a meeting with: Xu Du.]

Many people in the review room looked up at the same time.

One of the three great families of Jiangcheng.

Shen family.

Lin Qingzhu glanced at the screen.

"Access".

The side screen lights up.

The image shows the Shen family's white jade emblem.

There is only one line of text below.

[Shen Yan, the head of the Shen family, hosted a banquet in invitation.]

The review room fell silent again.

The Beijing-Guild Exchange Group hasn't left yet.

The staff at Jiangcheng Hospital are still there.

The Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau's town property management recording terminal is still lit up.

The second batch of 12 abandoned town artifacts has just been reviewed.

The invitation from the Shen family arrived.

Teacher Chen looked at Xu Du.

Lin Xue also looked at Xu Du.

The fourth line of Deng Qi's report was still blank.

Xu Du looked down at the white paper soul-guiding lamp in his hand.

Under the black cloth, the edge of the lamp paper lit up for a fleeting moment without any flame.

He didn't speak.
