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

Chapter 36 Linjiang County Requests Help! Five boxes of white paper are loaded onto the bus! The last bus departs!

"I accepted it."

After Xu Du finished speaking, the office fell silent for a moment.

On the main screen, the appeal for help from Linjiang County was still lit up.

[Linjiang County Lingguan Branch Police Station urgently requests assistance.]

[Event Level: C+]

[Event Type: Group Yin Spirit.]

[Casualty record: 1 dead, 3 injured.]

[Contaminated area: Old bus station in Linjiang County.]

[Assistance provided to applicant: Xu Du.]

Teacher Chen looked at the briefing and then at Xu Du.

"Cross-city assistance - a first."

Xu Du nodded.

"Um.

""

Lin Qingzhu pushed the task briefing forward by half an inch.

Linjiang County is a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng.

3

"But it's not like Jiangcheng."

"Prepare—more."

As the last five words were written, Teacher Chen had already opened the supply registration terminal.

"Blank talisman paper?"

Xu Du said, "Five boxes."

The office fell silent instantly.

Song Lin looked up.

"—Five boxes?"

Gu Hanzhou was also taken aback.

"Five hundred sheets in one box."

"Five boxes—two thousand five hundred sheets."

Teacher Chen looked at the registration screen.

Current registered inventory: 5067.

[This application requests the following items: 5 boxes of blank talisman paper.]

Quantity per box: 500 sheets.

Total: 2500.

[After the mission was carried on the vehicle, the academy retained 2567 copies.]

Her finger hovered over the confirmation button.

"This number—has already surpassed the one in Anmin Community."

Song Lin whispered, "—Is he planning to seal off an entire county?"

No one responded.

Xu Du did not explain.

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

Under the black cloth, the edges of the lamp paper were slightly curled up.

There is no fire.

But it shone with a bluish-white light.

A notification immediately popped up on the main screen.

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

[Pollution fluctuation: 0.]

[Recommended supplies to bring: Sufficient.]

Teacher Chen paused for two seconds, then pressed confirm.

[Supply request approved.]

Five boxes of blank talisman paper are being allocated.

Jiang Gui's logistics department quickly received the transfer order.

When the teacher on duty saw the number, their first reaction was that the system was wrong.

"—Five boxes??"

A student nearby peeked out.

"—Who applied for this?"

The teacher on duty looked down.

[Applicant: Xu Du.]

The student immediately shut up.

Half a minute later, a car from the logistics department arrived at the building where the verification was being conducted.

Five white supply crates were lined up in a row.

The same seal was affixed to the side of the box.

[Blank talisman paper.]

500 sheets/box.

[Mission Accompaniment.]

[Recipient: Xu Du]

The students passing by stopped in their tracks.

"Paper again?"

"—Not one box, but five boxes."

"Five boxes—two thousand five hundred sheets?"

"What exactly happened in Linjiang County?"

"Group of Yin Sha, C+".

"A C+ task, should we send freshmen?"

"He has already entered the intercity assistance candidate pool."

After those words were spoken, the surroundings became even quieter.

Cross-city assistance for the candidate pool.

Jiang Gui is reborn.

These two words together don't look right at all.

But Xu Du's name has already been put up.

[Xu Du.]

[A white paper lantern to guide the soul.]

[Special Grade A.]

[Merit Points: 10696]

[Task Matching: Group Yin Sha, Control-type, and Special Rule-type Events.]

The data is there.

No one can refute that.

Fifteen minutes later.

The vehicle from the Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau's Action Team Three has arrived.

Zhao Heng got out of the first car.

He glanced at the five supply crates on the ground and stopped in his tracks.

"—Did you bring so much this time?"

Xu Du said, "It's enough."

Zhao Heng paused for a moment.

Last time in Anmin Community, he personally witnessed Xu Du sealing off six buildings with paper.

I also witnessed firsthand how the contamination of underground parking garages was suppressed by official orders.

So this time he didn't ask why.

He simply turned and gave instructions to his team members.

"Load it into the car."

The third team began moving the boxes.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

After the trunk was full, the remaining two could only fit into a second car.

One of the team members lowered his voice: "—Team Leader Zhao."

"This doesn't look like it's carrying consumables at all."

Another added, "Like carrying ammunition."

Zhao Heng glanced at them.

"Stop talking nonsense."

The team members immediately shut up.

The car door closed.

The main control unit refreshes synchronously.

[Linjiang County C+ Group Yin Sha Assistance Team.]

[Team Leader: Jiangcheng Lingguan Bureau Action Team 3, Zhao Heng.]

[Assisted by: Xu Du]

[Team Log: Song Lin]

[Jiang Gui's main control terminal: Chen Qiu remotely synchronized.]

[Travel Supplies: 2500 blank talisman sheets.]

[Estimated arrival time: 3 hours later.]

[Task Status: Pending Connection.]

On the forum, some people also captured photos of the supply crates.

The post title quickly appeared.

[Linjiang County requests assistance; Xu Du leaves the city with five boxes of white paper!]

The following is a reply.

Five boxes?

[2500 photos?]

Others carry goods from other cities across the border; he carries cardboard boxes.

Hey bro, you know what—his cardboard box is scarier than everyone else's.

How much was it in Anmin Community that time?

This time it's a C+, with 1 dead and 3 injured.

Linjiang County specifically requested that he explain that the matter was serious.

[My first three exes were all crazy, bro.]

He has now left the city with a white paper lantern.

[That paper-using guy from Jiangcheng—he's really going to cross city borders.]

Xu Du did not check the forum.

He got into the car and placed the white paper lantern in front of his lap.

Zhao Heng sat in the passenger seat and opened the detailed information sent from Linjiang County.

"The old bus station was built many years ago."

"After the new station moved away, the area remained semi-abandoned."

"For the past three days, nearby residents have been hearing the radio broadcast at night."

"—They said the last train is about to arrive at the station."

Several blurry photos popped up on the screen one after another.

The first picture is of the waiting hall.

The rows of seats were filled with dark figures.

The second picture shows the ticket gate.

There were drag marks on the ground.

The third picture is of the ticket window.

Behind the glass, there was an old ticket.

There are only two words on the ticket.

[Return journey.]

Zhao Heng continued, "The Linjiang County trainee team went in once."

"The result was one death and three injuries."

"The one who survived—said only one sentence."

Song Lin, sitting in the back row, looked up.

"—What?"

Zhao Heng turned on the recording.

A hoarse voice came from the tablet.

"The car is here."

"But no one can get off the bus."

The car fell silent.

Teacher Chen's voice came from Jiang Gui's main control unit.

"—This is unlike a typical group of Yin spirits."

Xu Du remained silent.

Under the black cloth and white paper lantern, the light shone a little brighter.

The in-vehicle screen records automatically.

[White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp: Self-responsive.]

[Target area: Linjiang County.]

[Pollution Sensitivity: Weak.]

[Suggestion: Follow the path.]

Zhao Heng's expression changed as he looked at the last two words.

Follow the path.

Old passenger station.

The last train.

All the words together don't sound like a good thing.

The vehicle drove out of Jiangcheng.

The third action team didn't chat idly along the way.

The number of high-rise buildings in Jiangcheng is gradually decreasing.

The anti-evil monitoring towers along the roadside are getting older and older.

After passing the second toll booth, the vehicle's pressure monitor began to fluctuate intermittently.

[Spiritual pressure fluctuation: 0.6.]

[Spiritual pressure fluctuation: 1.2.]

[Spiritual pressure fluctuation: 0.4.]

Zhao Heng frowned.

"There were already disturbances before we even entered the county town."

The driver said, "The equipment in Linjiang County is old—it might be overflowing."

Zhao Heng remained silent.

Three hours later.

The convoy arrived outside Linjiang County.

People from the Lingguan Branch of Linjiang County were already waiting at the intersection.

The leader was an old, gray-haired town sorcerer.

He was wearing an old-fashioned anti-evil coat, the cuffs of which were worn white.

Upon seeing the vehicle of the third action team, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Xu Du got off the bus, he was stunned again.

"—Is it him?"

Zhao Heng said, "Xu Du."

The old town strategist looked at Xu Du's face, then at the five white supply boxes being unloaded from the car.

"—Five boxes of cardboard?"

A young team member nearby couldn't help but ask, "—Is the assistant sent by Jiangcheng a freshman?"

Zhao Heng's face darkened.

Before he could even speak, the old town sorcerer had already raised his hand to stop him.

He stared at the white paper soul-guiding lamp in Xu Du's hand for a long time.

"—A ghost lamp?"

Xu Du nodded.

"Um."

He glanced at the old town shaman.

The old town shaman's expression changed.

He didn't ask again if I was a freshman.

Only step aside half a step.

"The old bus station is located inside the old county town."

"The car can't get in."

"You have to walk."

Zhao Heng asked, "How extensive is the pollution?"

The old town shaman pointed ahead.

"See for yourselves."

Everyone looked up.

Ahead lies the old town of Linjiang County.

The streets are very narrow.

Half of the streetlights are broken.

The buildings on both sides are low and old, with large patches of plaster peeling off the walls.

In the distance, a blue sign for an old bus station hangs askew.

Below the sign, mist crept up the ground and outwards.

The sound of a broadcast could be faintly heard.

The last train is about to arrive at the station.

Passengers who have not yet boarded, please prepare for ticket inspection.

The sound came from deep within the old county town.

Not big.

It felt like it was right next to everyone's ear.

Song Lin looked down at the testing screen.

On the screen, patches of the map of the old town of Linjiang County turned red.

[Area of ​​contamination: Old bus station.]

[Spillover area: East Street of the Old Town.]

[Number of suspected Yin spirits: Continuously increasing.]

[Currently visible shadow: 117.]

[Note: Data is incomplete.]

The old town shaman's voice was hoarse.

"—Our equipment is old."

"Only 117 was measured."

"I don't know the actual amount."

Zhao Heng looked at Xu Du.

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

Under the black cloth, a bluish-white light shone without any flame.

The lights shone on the old county town.

In the fog, a sudden screech of brakes came from the direction of the old bus station.

squeak--

It was like an unseen car stopped in the darkness.

The next second, the broadcast changed.

All passengers have arrived.

[Last train, preparing to depart.]
