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

Chapter 33's recording is featured on the homepage! It's generating a lot of discussion on the forum!

"He doesn't know what's good for him."

"Then let him recognize it."

After Shen Hewen finished speaking, there was a moment of silence by the side door of the main hall.

The young man from the Shen family standing nearby didn't dare to respond.

The condition table on the side screen is not closed.

Annual salary: 8000 million.

[Rank and benefits: Third Elder of the Shen family.]

[Core condition: The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp must be shared and researched in the Shen Family's secret vault.]

The three lines of text were displayed there.

Very dazzling.

Shen Hewen's expression grew colder as he looked at the line of "core conditions".

The young man lowered his voice.

"Third Uncle."

"The head of the family says, this is the end."

Shen Hewen paused for a moment.

"Who said I was going to touch him?"

The young man was taken aback.

Shen Hewen did not turn around.

"Jiangcheng is so big."

"Someone will see it for themselves."

"The next morning at 6:21."

A new hot post suddenly appeared on the local forum for ghost stories in Jiangcheng.

The title is explosive.

[Xu Du sold? He received a late-night visit from the Shen family, suggesting he may have joined the Shen family!]

The account used to post this is a new account.

Registration time: 6:18.

The first post was posted at 6:21.

No profile picture.

There was no historical commentary.

The main text consists of only a few lines.

[Last night in the main hall of the Shen family home.]

The three major families of Jiangcheng were present.

The Shen family is asking for 80 million.

Xu Du received the treatment due to the third elder of the Shen family.

[The white paper soul-guiding lamp may be included in the Shen family's secret archives for shared research.]

An audio recording is included below.

Recording length: 27 seconds.

After clicking, Shen Yan's voice was heard first.

"The Shen family is willing to offer Xu Du the treatment befitting a third elder."

"Annual salary, 80 million."

"The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp will be sent to the Shen Family's Secret Treasury for shared research."

A brief pause.

Then came Xu Du's voice.

"Let's go take a look."

"Um."

Finally, there was a very soft, cut-off ending note.

"----Can."

Twenty-seven seconds.

There is no context.

There is no "not going".

There is no "no change".

There is no "blank paper soul-guiding lamp that does not belong to any family".

Only 80 million.

Only the Shen family's secret vault.

Only Xu Du responded with "Let's go take a look," "Hmm," and "Okay."

The post was flooded with replies in less than three minutes.

What?!

[Xu Du has joined the Shen family??]

[Really, bro?]

[The recording has been released, how could it be fake?]

[Eighty million, Third Elder.]

He himself said "yes."

Didn't you say last night that you didn't belong to any family?

Who heard that?

[In the main hall of the Shen family residence, so many people are listening.]

Why didn't that recording say "I'm not going," bro?

[Eighty million.]

[His contract balance is 237.6.]

[No wonder he can't handle this.]

[But Xu Du doesn't seem like that kind of person.]

[Doesn't seem like him? You know him very well, don't you?]

Ten minutes later, the post made it to the front page of the local forum.

Fifteen minutes later, the college forum was moved.

The title is more direct.

[Has Xu Du really been taken in by the Shen family? The recording has been released.]

The first picture is the application for the Shen family's visit last night.

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

The second picture shows the conditions offered by the Shen family.

Annual salary: 8000 million.

[Rank and benefits: Third Elder of the Shen family.]

[Core condition: The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp must be shared and researched in the Shen Family's secret vault.]

The third item is that 27-second recording.

The college forum exploded.

I don't believe it.

[The recording is out, and you still don't believe it??]

[Xu Du usually only utters a few words, but his voice sounds very similar.]

[It may look similar, but brother.]

That "yes" is so weird.

He refused to go in front of the Shen family yesterday.

How come it's "okay" just by turning around?

[You're in the main hall of the Shen family home?]

[Director Lin went too, right?]

Why isn't Jiang Gui speaking up?

[Eighty million, the Third Elder, the Secret Treasury.]

These conditions are unbearable.

[The problem isn't money, bro.]

[It was the white paper lantern that entered the Shen family's secret vault.]

The White Paper Lamp is now a discarded core trigger charm.

[If Jiang Gui really enters the Shen family, what will happen to his nuclear investigation plan?]

[Has the Shen family taken over the route to the abandoned warehouse?]

Once that sentence was said, the post completely changed its meaning.

The Jinggui Garrison.

When Lin Xue opened the communication screen, the hot post was already on the homepage.

She clicked to record.

It finished playing in 27 seconds.

She frowned.

A student from Beijing, standing nearby, lowered his voice.

"Lin Xue".

"Xu Du, has he really joined the Shen family?"

Deng Qi also came over.

He stayed up very late writing a report last night.

The title is still the same.

[Jiangcheng Joint Training Analysis Report]

The main text consists of only a few lines.

Each line looks unfinished.

Seeing the forum now, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"If he really joins the Shen family."

"That's normal."

"Eighty million, Third Elder."

"Who should we replace them with?!"

Lin Xue interrupted him.

"It doesn't look like it."

Deng Qi paused.

"—What doesn't look like it?"

Lin Xue rewound the recording by two seconds.

Replay.

"Let's go take a look."

"Um."

"----Can."

She stopped recording.

"The third word."

"It doesn't look like it."

The students in the capital whispered.

"—The voices are very similar."

Lin Xue said, "The more similar they are."

"The weirder it is."

She turned off the recording and opened the review record from last night.

[Xu Du.]

[Currently used item: White paper soul-guiding lamp.]

[Current rating: Special Grade A.]

[Current character set: 灭, 封, 护, 镇, 替, 改, 名, 梳, 现.]

[Second batch of reviews: 12/12.]

[Direct incineration recommendation: 0 items.]

Lin Xue looked at the last line.

"He doesn't need the Shen family's proof."

Deng Qi did not respond.

Jiang Gui Training Hall.

Zhou Chenggang finished a set of lightning-patterned slashes.

The training target data is fluctuating.

[Rayon Strength: A.]

[Consecutive hits: 58]

[Target bearing capacity: Damaged.]

A student ran over with a communication screen.

"Brother Cheng."

"Xu Du seems to have been taken in by the Shen family."

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment while wiping his sword.

"—What?"

The student handed over the post.

"The recording is out."

Zhou Cheng took the communication screen.

He didn't read the comments.

Just open the recording.

It finished playing in 27 seconds.

Zhou Cheng's expression did not improve.

It's actually colder.

The student spoke softly.

"Brother Cheng."

"Haven't you always disliked him?"

"If he really gets taken in by the Shen family, then—"

Zhou Cheng threw the communication screen back.

"Fake."

The student was stunned.

"----ah?"

Zhou Cheng picked up the peach wood sword with thunder pattern.

"He won't give the lamp to the Shen family."

The student was even more confused.

"How did you know?"

Zhou Cheng glanced at him.

"If he would give it to me."

"I gave it to you last night."

The student dared not ask any more questions.

Zhou Cheng turned and walked toward the next training target.

The peach wood sword with thunder pattern was raised.

boom!

The training target split in the middle.

The target is damaged.

Zhou Cheng looked at the cracked training target.

His face grew even more somber.

7:15 AM.

Jiang Gui Practical Training Department.

Lin Qingzhu's communicator rang.

The caller was from the Town Property Management Section of Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau.

She answered the call.

The first thing the other person said was, "Director Lin."

"Has Xu Du accepted the Shen family's offer to recruit him?"

Lin Qingzhu looked out the window.

"no."

The other side paused for a moment.

"The news that the white paper soul-guiding lamp was entered into the Shen family's secret vault for shared research?"

"Fake."

"What about the forum recordings?"

"Unverified."

The voice on the other end was lowered.

"The impact is huge now."

"The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp is a special Grade A talisman."

"Another abandoned core trigger for the talisman."

"If it really ends up in the family's secret vault."

"The Superintendent's Office needs to reassess the authority to review Jiang Gui's case."

Lin Qingzhu said, "That's why I said..."

"Fake."

"Does Xu Du himself need to come forward and clarify?"

Lin Qingzhu glanced at the time.

7:16.

"He hasn't had breakfast yet."

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

"—Director Lin."

"The forum is in an uproar."

"The local anti-ghost channel is also asking about it."

There has been no response from the Shen family yet.

"The Beijing Ghost Exchange Group also saw it."

Lin Qingzhu's voice remained unchanged.

"Wait until he finishes eating."

Lin Qingzhu hung up the call.

Teacher Chen stood to the side, the recording already playing on the tablet.

She didn't look well.

"The voiceprints are very similar."

Lin Qingzhu asked, "The official recording source?"

"no."

"Posting account?"

Teacher Chen enlarged the account information.

[Registration time: 06:18 today.]

[First post published at 06:21.]

[Number of comments in the past: 0]

[Associated Identity: Unknown.]

Lin Qingzhu finished reading.

"Don't press it yet."

Teacher Chen was taken aback.

"—No need to press the post?"

"It's been pressed down."

"It looks so real."

"—What should we do then?"

Lin Qingzhu looked towards the dormitory building.

"Wait for Xu Du."

Shen family.

Shen Yan also saw the post.

Shen Zhixia stood in the study, her face cold.

"Father."

"It wasn't sent by the host."

Shen Yan said, "I know."

Shen Zhixia posted the post to the side screen.

The recording played again.

"Let's go take a look."

"Um."

"----Can."

Shen Zhixia frowned when she heard the last two words.

"Senior Brother Xu."

"I didn't say that."

Shen Yan looked at the account information of the person who posted the message.

"Investigate internally."

Shen Zhixia nodded.

"Yes."

Shen Yan added, "Don't speak up for him publicly."

Shen Zhixia looked up.

Shen Yan said, "The more the Shen family says, the more..."

"The more it seems like a cover-up."

"Wait for Jiang Gui."

Shen Zhixia remained silent for a moment.

"Father."

"Is it a collateral branch?"

Shen Yan did not answer.

He only looked at the sentence "Xu Du has been sold" on the side screen.

After a few seconds, he said, "Some people care about face."

"More important than the road."

Jiang Gui's student dormitory.

7:40 AM.

Xu Du got up.

Wash up.

Change clothes.

Lantern.

Go downstairs.

The white paper lantern, covered with a black cloth, hung quietly by my side.

Downstairs in the dormitory building, several students were whispering among themselves.

Upon seeing Xu Du come down, their voices immediately quieted down.

Someone was watching him.

Someone is looking at his lamp.

Some people were also looking at the hot forum posts on the communication screen.

Xu Du didn't stop.

He walked into the cafeteria.

There was a queue in front of the breakfast window.

He swiped his card.

A bowl of porridge.

Two steamed buns.

A serving of pickled vegetables.

The total is six yuan and fifty cents.

The cafeteria lady glanced at him.

I glanced at the communication screens of the students next to me.

I didn't ask.

Xu Du sat down in a corner with his tray.

I had just sat down when Teacher Chen arrived.

She was holding a tablet.

He looked a little anxious.

"Xu Du".

Xu Du looked up.

"Um.

""

Teacher Chen pushed the forum page in front of him.

"Take a look."

The title of the popular post is still displayed on the homepage.

[Xu Du sold? He received a late-night visit from the Shen family, suggesting he may have joined the Shen family!]

The page views have exceeded 100,000.

More than 9,000 replies.

The recording was played 36,000 times.

Teacher Chen clicked to record.

Shen Yan's voice rang out.

"The Shen family is willing to offer Xu Du the treatment befitting a third elder."

"Annual salary, 80 million."

"The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp will be sent to the Shen Family's Secret Treasury for shared research."

Then came Xu Du's own voice.

"Let's go take a look."

"Um."

"----Can."

The recording has finished playing.

The students at the next few tables were all listening intently.

The cafeteria became a little quieter.

Teacher Chen looked at Xu Du.

"Did you say that?"

Xu Du picked up the steamed bun.

took a bite.

"no."

The people at the next few tables visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But I quickly became nervous again.

It wasn't him who said that.

How can you prove it?

Xu Du finished his porridge.

After finishing the second steamed bun.

The forum is still refreshing.

[Xu Du, the cafeteria has appeared.]

Teacher Chen is here too.

Did you ask?

He said, "No."

[Just two words, bro?]

Of course, that's how he is all the time.

[Those two words are useless.]

What to do about the recording?

Teacher Chen lowered her voice.

"The Department of Spirits called."

"The local anti-ghost channel is also asking about it."

"We saw it too, from the Jinggui side."

The Shen family has not yet issued a public response.

"If it is not dealt with."

"Things are going to escalate."

Xu Du wiped his hands.

He glanced at the recordings on the forum.

I glanced at Teacher Chen's tablet again.

"Review Room".

Teacher Chen was taken aback.

"----Now?"

Xu Du picked up the white paper soul-guiding lamp.

"Now."

The cafeteria was completely quiet.

The forum has just been updated with new replies.

Where did he go?

[It seems they went to the training building.]

Why aren't you issuing a clarification?

He picked up a lantern.

【—What are you doing carrying a lantern?】

No one answered.

Xu Du carried the white paper soul-guiding lamp out of the canteen.

The morning light fell on the black cloth.

The lamp paper was not visible.

But at the edge of the black cloth, a pale white light shone without any flame.

Teacher Chen's tablet made a soft sound.

[White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp: Slight self-response.]

[Pollution fluctuation: 0.]

[Status of the talisman: Stable.]

The next second, a new application popped up automatically on the tablet.

[Suppressing Object Verification Room: To be opened.]

[Current Applicant: Xu Du.]
