Chapter 1270 1237: Arrivals

“Consider yourself lucky that Yang Jian came to mediate, otherwise there would have been casualties at today’s team leader meeting.”

After Yang Jian left, Leuk San coldly mocked.

As he spoke, the paper figures around them gradually retreated, hiding within the wild grass in the center of the playground, completely vanishing from sight.

He Yiner also retorted, “You should be grateful that Yang Jian saved your life; I was prepared to fight you to death here.”

“Bragging is useless; if we really fought, you’d definitely be the one to die. Forget it, I’m not going to argue with you anymore. With Yang Jian present, we can’t fight, and if by accident I end up killing you, Yang Jian would trouble me, which I can’t handle. However, I’d advise you to temporarily give up thoughts of revenge.”

Leuk San didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

He Yiner’s gaze was flickering uncertainly, her perpetually pale eyes fixed on the direction Leuk San was leaving, suppressing the urge to kill him.

“Mediation can only happen once, so I hope you both can be rational.”

Wei Jing said hoarsely, “Li Jun, let’s return and investigate Professor Wang’s cause of death.”

“Alright.”

Li Jun nodded, resolving to thoroughly uncover Wang Xiaoming’s cause of death before the afternoon meeting.

“I’ll go too; I’m quite curious about this matter.” Cao Yang hurriedly followed.

Soon.

Everyone at the training base dispersed, leaving only He Yiner behind.

He Yiner stood in place for a while, eventually leaving with a solemn expression.

She didn’t return to headquarters but instead took a car to an inconspicuous hotel in the city.

In the hotel, He Yiner met Boss Liu and the tall, eerie Faceless Person.

Upon meeting, He Yiner immediately said, “I’ve found out who’s the murderer of Grandpa He; it’s a team leader named Leuk San from headquarters.”

“You still ended up seeking revenge against that person.”

Boss Liu sighed immediately, “You shouldn’t have gone. The past is in the past; even if he weren’t killed by that Leuk San’s successor, he would die from the supernatural. He couldn’t last long; you should give up your hatred and integrate well into headquarters, using this opportunity to rebuild Taiping Ancient Town. Continuing to stir trouble can easily lead to unforeseen disasters.”

“Who do you think would win if I and Leuk San fought?”

He Yiner asked seriously.

“Judging by the looks of it, you haven’t fought, which is good, very good.”

Boss Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said, “It’s hard to say. Soul Summoners are special entities; their power isn’t particularly strong, but if they successfully summon spirits and call forth powerful ones, then theoretically, no ghost wielder of this generation would be your match.”

“But I’ve told you before, supernatural circles are filled with uncertainty. Take that young man Yang Jian, his power is immense. Your grandfather crossed paths with him in the past and lost half his life. If you encounter him, you might be killed before you can even summon spirits.”

He Yiner said, “You’re right. When I fought with Leuk San, Yang Jian showed up and stopped me. In a blink, his knife was at my throat; I summoned a spirit, but he destroyed it.”

She then opened her palm, revealing a walnut shattered into numerous pieces.

Boss Liu glanced at it and smiled bitterly, “That’s expected; your grandfather once got his head chopped off by Yang Jian. Unless you bring those tablets from Taiping Ancient Town, you won’t be his match.”

“If I bring those tablets, can I confront Yang Jian?”

He Yiner continued to ask.

“Theoretically, you could kill him.”

Boss Liu thought for a moment then nodded affirmatively, “But that’s only in theory. The spirits summoned by Soul Summoners have time limits; if he avoids that period or survives an assault, then you’ll lose. If Yang Jian confronts you after summoning, he’d surely die.”

“I understand what you’re contemplating, but I urge you to abandon this idea sooner rather than later. Theory will always be theory; it won’t transform into reality, especially since Taiping Ancient Town can’t recover if you exhaust its reserves.”

“I understand.”

He Yiner nodded, realizing reality after this confrontation.

The strength of the headquarters team leaders has long surpassed the batch of people handling supernatural incidents she once dealt with, she no longer counts as the best.

At this moment, the Faceless Person suddenly gestured, seemingly trying to communicate something.

He Yiner looked at him, “What do you want to say?”

Boss Liu immediately comprehended the meaning, saying, “His point is that you should seek items left behind by powerful ghost wielders before their deaths to strengthen your hand. The supernatural circle in the past also had incredibly formidable ghost wielders; if you could find some items as mediums, you’d become stronger.”

“Makes sense.” He Yiner’s eyes lit up.

The tablets in Taiping Ancient Town are used less and less, but the supernatural circle of this world isn’t just Taiping Ancient Town; there are other ghost wielders too.

“I remember the headquarters has many archive files, right? If you search those supernatural events files, you’re sure to find many clues,” Boss Liu reminded.

“You’re right, I almost forgot about this.” He Yiner’s thoughts immediately opened up.

She knows many supernatural events occur when ghost wielders die and ghosts resurge; finding the incident locations and acquiring items they used is certainly simple and easy.

Boss Liu added, “The new Taiping Town can’t be built overnight; during this time you should practice and accumulate, eventually surpassing your grandfather and becoming the strongest Soul Summoner.”

He kept advising He Yiner, telling her not to let hatred cloud her mind and to take advantage of her youth to grow properly.

“I’m going to look at the archives and find a suitable medium.” He Yiner was a woman of action, and once she made a decision, she acted on it immediately.

Boss Liu nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

The Faceless Person gestured with his hands as he watched He Yiner leave: “She’s too impulsive.”

“Impulsiveness is normal, after all, she’s young. She still needs guidance, and we shouldn’t put too much pressure on her.”

Boss Liu said, “Didn’t He Liansheng ask us to take care of her for a while because he’s worried about this? But I believe she can become a qualified Soul Summoner. It’s a process everyone goes through, and she’s learning and growing quickly. In the future, there’s hope for her to rebuild Taiping Ancient Town.”

The Faceless Person nodded in agreement.

At the same time.

A city bus stopped in front of the station.

A young bald man, smiling, raised a slightly pale face and stepped off the bus. He carried a backpack and wore a loose plain garment, resembling a monk, appearing somewhat out of place.

“I still prefer traveling by bus; although it’s a bit slow, it’s safe.”

He yawned, as if he had just taken a nap.

However, he seemed to sense something and looked across the street.

A black car was parked on the roadside, and a man in a suit and sunglasses was standing there, waiting.

“Lin Bei, Mister Lin, please get in the car, the headquarters meeting is about to start.” The man with sunglasses gestured invitingly.

Passersby nearby glanced over with curiosity.

“Headquarters is really considerate; if I had known a car would pick me up, I wouldn’t have taken the bus all the way from the airport, wasting several bucks.”

Lin Bei said while walking over.

The staff member said nothing, merely fulfilling his duty. After picking up Lin Bei, he had the driver set off immediately to take him to headquarters.

“I heard Yang Jian has become the Enforcement Captain.” On the car ride, Lin Bei suddenly asked.

“Yes.”

The staff member nodded seriously.

“I really didn’t expect a colleague I met on that ghostly bus to have grown so much. I thought the Enforcement Captain would choose me, considering I’ve been around much longer.”

Lin Bei rubbed his smooth head: “But I still owe Yang Jian money. I wonder if he’ll ask me to repay him this time. It’s really a headache; I’m just a poor guy without money to pay him back. Better figure out a way to dodge it, after all, he’s the Enforcement Captain now, surely he won’t care about a million I owe him.”

The staff member beside him didn’t dare to speak casually.

This seemingly approachable young man is anything but simple; he’s a candidate for the new captain position.

Lin Bei looked at the bustling streets outside the car window and suddenly said: “I’m really curious how Yang Jian managed to stand out from over a dozen captains, considering I also wanted that Enforcement Captain position.”

He sighed, revealing a bit of his inner thoughts.

However, neither the driver nor the accompanying staff responded, acting as if they didn’t hear it. These weren’t issues they could comment on.

They didn’t even have the qualification to express an opinion.

“Sigh, it must be that I spent too long on the bus, causing me to fall behind at every step, ending up on the same level as Zhou Deng.”

Lin Bei sighed, showing a frustrated expression.

Seeing that no one responded, he stopped talking, leaning against the car window watching the scenery outside.

The car smoothly drove along the road, soon entering headquarters.

In fact, the meeting would not only be attended by captains but also many candidate captains, with Lin Bei being just one of them.

There was also a whole list of other candidates.

After all, news had spread that there were several vacancies for captains, and the candidates would be screened to fill the twelve captain positions.

Meanwhile, while the headquarters was preparing to hold the captains’ meeting, after resolving the conflict between He Yiner and Leuk San, Yang Jian was sitting alone at the top of a tall building, eating fried chicken, drinking cola, and gazing expressionlessly over the city.

His view was wide, allowing him to see every corner of the city.

“Liu Qi?” Yang Jian furrowed his brow slightly, uttering the name of an old classmate.

He is now a captain candidate and needs to attend this meeting, and he is already in this city.

It’s hard to imagine that an ordinary person who survived the Door Knocking Ghost event at No. 7 Middle School has only taken a little over a year to qualify as a captain candidate.

Although ghost handlers grow quickly, Liu Qi’s growth is a bit too rapid.

This is not reasonable.
