Through the increase in his eerie value when coming into close contact with fierce ghosts, Wang Liang could roughly judge how terrifying a fierce ghost was.
This was very important, because it would determine, in the future, when Wang Liang engaged in supernatural confrontation with an unknown fierce ghost, whether he should fight it head-on to the end or stall briefly and then run for his life.
After all, sometimes, if you ran too late, you would no longer have the chance to run.
The rise in his eerie value gave him that opportunity. If he discovered that after confronting something for a while, his eerie value was shooting up nonstop, then he should hurry up and flee.
At the entrance of Xiaolan Village,
Captain Wen looked at the watch in his hand, his expression grave as he stared at the demolition village ahead.
After Wang Liang entered the village, less than half an hour had passed, and originally, nothing had happened.
But ten minutes ago, waves of ethereal bell chimes had suddenly sounded throughout the long-silent village. They were uncomfortable to hear, not like normal bells, and this made Captain Wen and the others somewhat uneasy.
The other case officers around were all standing guard in their respective positions, waiting for the results of Wang Liang’s handling of the situation.
“He’s out,” someone shouted excitedly.
Captain Wen hurriedly looked over, only to see Wang Liang carrying a “person” in each hand as he walked toward the village entrance.
Captain Wen led people forward to meet him. Gao Yan was a step slower, but he also followed them up.
“Wang Liang, how is it? Has the supernatural incident inside been resolved? What are those in your hands?”
“Ghosts. Bring the containment containers over. One isn’t enough. It’s best to seal them separately. Go prepare another one.”
“Hiss—”
A chorus of sharp intakes of breath rang out. The case officers who had just gathered nearby all took a step back, terror showing on their faces.
Captain Wen hesitantly pointed at the two “dead people” Wang Liang was carrying in his hands, then looked up at Wang Liang. Gao Yan’s expression beside him had also stiffened somewhat.
Wang Liang nodded.
Captain Wen immediately turned his head and shouted toward the back:
“What are you standing there for! Hurry up and bring the container over! Contact logistics immediately and have them bring another container!”
“Yes!”
“Oh, right, bring two or three more gold bags. I’ll keep them for later use,” Wang Liang said.
“All right, I’ll have them bring those over as well,” Captain Wen replied.
After the gold box was brought over, Wang Liang tossed the foul-smelling fierce ghost into the gold box in one motion, and before it could revive, he immediately shut the lid.
The case officers nearby instantly stepped forward, professionally holding welding tools as they completely melted and sealed shut the seams of the gold box’s lid.
As for the other waving ghost, which had been nailed dead by the coffin nail, Wang Liang continued to hold it in his hand while waiting for the new container to arrive.
Captain Wen swallowed, then said hesitantly:
“Uh, sorry. This time it was an error in our work. We’ve never encountered a situation where multiple fierce ghosts appeared in a single incident before, so our experience and preparations were insufficient. Please forgive us, and please suppress the fierce ghost for a little longer. The container will arrive immediately.
“But before the other container and the gold body bags arrive, I may have to have everyone else move some distance away from here first.”
“That’s fine. Handle it as you see fit. Be quick,” Wang Liang said.
“Okay!”
Captain Wen evacuated the surrounding people, having them keep a safe distance from Wang Liang.
Those case officers stood far away, all gazing with awe at Wang Liang, who was standing calmly in the middle of the scene while carrying a ghost.
They had participated in the closing work of supernatural incidents more than once or twice, but this was the first time they had seen someone actually hold a fierce ghost directly in his hand as if it were an object, and he even looked quite relaxed doing it. The previous person in charge, Sun Su, had never displayed anything this exaggerated.
During Sun Su’s tenure, every time he finished dealing with a supernatural incident and suppressed a fierce ghost, he would urgently call for them to enter the scene, swiftly load the ghost in, and seal the lid.
It was as if the fierce ghost could break free of Sun Su’s control at any moment, making all of them who entered the scene tremble with fear. How could it compare to the ease shown by this new person in charge before their eyes?
The situation was urgent, so after receiving the order, the special personnel from logistics practically sped all the way to Lan Village.
After the items arrived, several case officers immediately ran over and lifted down a gold box and several gold body bags from the vehicle.
Just like before, Wang Liang threw the waving ghost into the gold box, gripped the coffin nail in the waving ghost’s forehead, yanked it out fiercely, and then immediately shut the lid.
Seeing this, the staff member beside him holding the welding torch once again stepped forward at once and sealed the seams of the box shut.
“Send these two boxes to Shuangqi Jiayuan, to my residence,” Wang Liang said.
“Mm. I’ll arrange for people to deliver them,” Gao Yan, who had been silent for a long time, answered at this moment.
As his gaze swept over, it glanced at the coffin nail in Wang Liang’s hand, but his eyes did not linger. He pretended it had been an inadvertent glance and did not open his mouth to ask what the thing was.
“Oh, right. Captain Wen, investigate the original owner of that half-destroyed house where the first incident happened—the one with a tractor in front of the door. In particular, find out who built the basement under that house,” Wang Liang said.
“All right. I’ll make the arrangements,” Captain Wen replied solemnly.
“Mm. I’m leaving first.”
After saying that, Wang Liang took the three empty gold body bags, walked to the car parked by the roadside, got in, and drove away from the place, leaving Gao Yan, Captain Wen, and the others at the scene to handle the follow-up communication and processing.
Captain Wen watched Wang Liang’s car recede into the distance and said with some emotion:
“Person-in-charge Wang really is impressive. He dealt with a supernatural incident in less than half an hour, and it was even a supernatural incident involving two ghosts existing in the same area at once. It didn’t look like he expended much effort either. In the end, he actually carried the ghosts out directly instead of calling us in.”
“Yes, yes.”
“What’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting strange today. Are you not feeling well?”
Captain Wen looked at Gao Yan beside him with some confusion, feeling that his condition seemed a little off.
“Cough, I do have a bit of a cold, but it’s nothing. I’m mainly just feeling a bit shocked,” Gao Yan hurriedly shook his head and explained.
In reality, he was feeling somewhat guilty. This new person in charge’s strength did not seem simple. At the very least, Sun Su had not been able to achieve this level.
“Haha, make sure to rest. With a person in charge like this, our work in the future may become much easier, and Da’an City will be safer too.
“Sigh, it’s just a pity about Sun Su. We worked together for so long, but in the end, he still fell in a supernatural incident. I still have to go remind Wang Liang about that incident on Subway Line 16. We can’t afford another accident.”
Hearing this, Gao Yan fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said:
“Sigh, yes. What a pity.”
After Wang Liang returned to the villa in Shuangqi Jiayuan, it was not long before the two gold boxes containing ghosts were delivered by the people Captain Wen had arranged.
Refusing the delivery personnel’s offer to help move the boxes, Wang Liang, empowered by the supernatural and possessing monstrous strength, moved the two gold boxes by himself into the safe room beneath the villa, and also placed the ghost bell steadily on a shelf inside the safe room.
The lock on the safe room had already been completely replaced by Wang Liang, providing a certain degree of security. It could only be opened through violent destruction. The fierce ghosts and supernatural objects he captured in the future could all be placed here.
However, Wang Liang still carried the coffin nail with him. This thing was too important. There could not be any risk of losing it.
