Chapter 123 The Chaotic Situation
"So now... what about Li Leping?" Li Jun asked.
"Let's leave him alone for now. He's out of control for 20 out of 24 hours right now, and he's hardly any help to us," Wang Xiaoming said, shaking his head.
"Okay... I just didn't expect that Zhao Kaiming's attack would actually steal some of Li Leping's supernatural power," Li Jun said.
"Now that Zhao Kaiming has been dealt with, only Zhao Jianguo remains. Let's go talk to the people on the paranormal forum first."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two appeared in the paranormal forum's conference room.
"Li Jun, and Wang Xiaoming, didn't you leave Dahai City a long time ago? Why are you still here?" Wang Wu asked.
"I originally wanted to find Sun Rui through your paranormal forum's information channels, but I didn't expect to see this scene between you two," Wang Xiaoming said bluntly.
"So what are you here for? Do you want to help Sun Rui take us down?" Wang Wu retorted.
Wang Xiaoming shook his head: "If we were to come and wipe you out, there wouldn't be anyone left alive on the paranormal forum right now."
Wang Wu and Shen Quan both fell silent upon hearing this.
Indeed, Sun Rui and his group couldn't withstand it alone, and with Li Jun added to the mix, they would surely die.
"So what do you want to do?" Shen Quan asked.
"Cooperate. If you agree to Sun Rui's conditions, the paranormal forum can be saved, and you can survive as well," Wang Xiaoming said, pushing up his glasses.
"Impossible. Sun Rui's conditions are practically a death sentence for our paranormal forum. Besides, what conditions do you have that we should agree to? At worst, we'll just risk the resurrection of a vengeful ghost," Shen Quan sneered.
"Do you have the qualifications to fight for the resurrection of a vengeful ghost? As for the conditions, I will have Li Jun fill the third spot," Wang Xiaoming said.
The two remained silent, facing off in silence.
After a moment, Wang Xiaoming glanced at his watch and said, "You have 10 seconds to consider."
Time ticked by, and the eerie green flames around them began to revert to their original red glow.
They knew that if they didn't agree, Sun Rui would be prepared to take further action.
In the end, the two of them couldn't withstand the pressure.
"We agree," Wang Wu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding red flames faded, and the grayish-white mist inside the building gradually dissipated.
Both of them wiped away a cold sweat. In that situation, if they had spoken even a second later, they would have died.
"You should have agreed earlier, why did you have to force me to take action?" Sun Rui walked out from the corner of the room at this moment.
Both of them looked at Sun Rui with some resentment.
"Alright, since you've already agreed, you can continue with Sun Rui's request. Don't waste too much time, or things might change," Wang Xiaoming said from the side.
Although he was speaking, his eyes remained fixed on the corpse on the conference table, which was oozing black bodily fluids.
The coffin nail stuck straight into his forehead caught his attention.
"No rush, let's talk about Liu Lin's body first. His funeral arrangements must be handled by your paranormal forum," Sun Rui said.
The reason he needs three ghost riders is because he has to complete three transactions for the Heaven and Earth Bank.
But he didn't intend to bring these people over. He would wait until he had set up his clones and then take out the vouchers to sign them.
Although there are certain risks involved in conducting transactions outside of the Heaven and Earth Money Shop, he is quite confident in himself and able to suppress others.
"Clean up the mess?"
Wang Wu and Shen Quan then realized that Liu Lin's corpse lying on the table had not been resurrected by any vengeful spirit; it was just like an ordinary, rotting corpse.
"Sun Rui, leaving the Ghost Tamer's corpse like this is too dangerous," Li Jun said, frowning.
"Don't worry, it's still under my control for now," Sun Rui said with a smile.
"Is it because of that nail? It looks a lot like a coffin nail in folk tradition, and it's believed to suppress evil spirits?" Wang Xiaoming guessed from the side.
Sun Rui nodded: "That's right, but I can't just waste this thing here, so I'll pull it out. Liu Lin will definitely be resurrected as a vengeful ghost, and your paranormal forum will be responsible for cleaning up the mess."
"Okay, we'll prepare the containers for their confinement." Wang Wu nodded.
Liu Lin does have three vengeful ghosts on him, so if they can be imprisoned by the paranormal forum, it would be a way to recover some of his losses.
Soon, Wang Wu left the conference room, while Shen Quan stayed behind to watch over the group.
"Wang Xiaoming, tell me about the current situation in Dajing City," Sun Rui said.
"Yang Jian, Cao Yang, Lin Bei, Zhao Lei, and another unknown ghost tamer, these five people successfully evacuated from the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain."
"Ye Zhen did not evacuate. According to Yang Jian, Ye Zhen went to deal with the ghost in the ghost painting alone."
"Cao Yang was in very poor condition and went to find a solution on his own. He was unable to participate in the subsequent operations. After Lin Bei came out, he disappeared and could not be found."
"Of course, there's another piece of news, which is currently uncertain to be true, but according to Cao Yang, a dead person has reappeared."
"Who?"
"Tong Qian, the person in charge of ZS City," Wang Xiaoming said.
"Tong Qian? I remember Shen Liang took over her body, right? What was the final disposal?" Sun Rui asked.
"After confirmation from headquarters, Tong Qian had lost vital signs. Her body was cremated, and her ashes were kept in a golden box," Wang Xiaoming said.
"How did Cao Yang confirm that Tong Qian had been resurrected?" Sun Rui asked.
"I don't know. Cao Yang just passed on this information. Of course, what can be confirmed is that Tong Qian is not in the Ghost Realm of Ghost Painting," Wang Xiaoming said.
It was eerie, indescribably eerie.
A person who had been dead for more than half a month, whose body had even been cremated, actually came back to life at this time.
"What about the wishing ghost?" Sun Rui asked.
"The wishing ghost is still imprisoned, and Zhao Kaiming has suddenly disappeared."
"Huh? Disappeared?"
Sun Rui leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. Logically speaking, how could Zhao Kaiming, who had lost the wishing ghost, possibly disappear?
"What we can confirm at the moment is that the circle of friends is in the realm of starving ghosts, and Fang Shiming and the others have not successfully escaped," Wang Xiaoming said.
"Any news about Yan Li?"
Wang Xiaoming shook his head: "Not at the moment."
"Okay..." Sun Rui said.
The entire city of Dajing is in complete chaos right now, and the situation of the starving ghosts is completely unclear.
Whether the vengeful spirit conceived within the ghost realm ever came to fruition remains unknown.
They even wasted so much time and still couldn't confirm Zhao Jianguo's location.
"The paranormal forum's request has been fulfilled, but headquarters will need your help later," Wang Xiaoming said.
"I know, we'll see," Sun Rui waved his hand.
A solution is definitely needed, since Zhao Jianguo had his eye on him from the very beginning.
If these paranormal events are allowed to continue, he will definitely suffer the consequences.
"What's their reason for targeting me?" Sun Rui pondered.
This is the question he has been pondering since the very beginning, and he still hasn't received a definitive answer.
Keep in mind that at the time he was not the owner of the Heaven and Earth Bank, nor did he possess so many supernatural items.
At that time, he carried coffin nails, pills given by Zhang Bohua, a copper lock that had been unleashed from a curse, some black letters, ghost candles, a doorplate...
He suddenly began to suspect that the apartment resident who attacked him might have been controlled by Zhao Jianguo.
