Chapter 26: Divine Needle of Stabilizing the Sea Chen Shoushan

Looks like there may be some corrupt elements in the headquarters!

Chen Shoushan looked at the domestic number on his phone; the phone had only two numbers in total, and it was clear that one was foreign and one domestic.

And this domestic contact was definitely not a minor figure; otherwise Paul wouldn't have deliberately saved it.

Chen Shoushan turned the phone off again and put it away; this thing might later serve some unexpected purpose.

I didn't expect Paul to have such good taste!

Ye Feng suddenly handed Chen Shoushan a golden-colored revolver, its style somewhat antiquated, not like a modern product but rather reminiscent of a World War II-era item.

It was probably made by some nouveau riche foreigner during World War II; I don't know how it ended up in Paul's hands.

Chen Shoushan fondly played with the revolver, its style resembling the one he used in his previous life during the mysterious times, giving him a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, felt nothing; he couldn't be bothered to wear a bulletproof vest, casually picking up a specially made baton—he couldn't use a gun, and his ghost shroud made a bulletproof vest unnecessary.

Chen Shoushan had no patience for trouble; before becoming a demigod, he had no effective means against supernatural incidents, so he naturally just put on a bulletproof vest.

The two changed the door's password and prepared to meet with Wang Xiao Ming; after all, the situation hadn't yet reached an irrecoverable point, and Ye Feng still hoped to enter the headquarters, so he wanted to show more in front of Wang Xiao Ming.

Chen Shoushan, meanwhile, wanted to take this opportunity to kill more ghost infants to digest the barbarians' magic potion cleanly; although each ghost infant digests only a little, there are plenty of them, and as long as the numbers are controlled, with Ye Feng and others holding the line nearby, digesting the barbarians' magic potion will be just a matter of time.

Wuu wuu wuu

Chen Shoushan's phone suddenly vibrated; after connecting, Wang Xiao Ming's voice came through.

"Chen Shoushan, are you still at the Shangtong Building?"

"What happened to Professor Wang?"

Chen Shoushan countered.

Professor Wang wouldn't call for no reason; sure enough, the other end delivered bad news: "The hospital's ghost infants have inexplicably all been born, several days earlier than I estimated, and the troops stationed at the hospital have lost contact."

"I understand; we two will rush over right now."

Chen Shoushan nodded solemnly, then changed his mind: in the original story, the hospital outbreak wasn't this early.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Feng asked doubtfully.

"The hospital's ghost infants were born prematurely, and the hospital has at least several hundred hosts."

Chen Shoushan told Ye Feng the news.

Ye Feng sucked in a breath of cold air; several hundred hosts mean several hundred ghost infants—without Chen Shoushan's help yesterday, even a dozen ghost infants could have exhausted him, and now the hospital has several hundred ghost infants; throwing everything we have at them still wouldn't be enough!

"What should we do?"

"Let's see what Professor Wang arranges; don't worry too much, we're not without backup."

Chen Shoushan pointed to the room behind him and smiled.

Ye Feng also calmed down considerably; indeed they still had a retreat, and with Chen Shoushan able to suppress vengeful spirits' revival, they also weren't without a chance to eradicate the hospital's ghost infants.

Thus the two sent the locksmith back to the residential complex and then rushed straight to the Xiaoqiang Club; along the way it was surprisingly calm, with no ghost infants jumping out suddenly.

The atmosphere at the meeting was somewhat icy; one or two people didn't speak, and Zhang Han's team hadn't even gone far from the club when Wang Xiao Ming called them back, and before they could ask, they suddenly received news of the hospital's fall.

Just thinking about the several hundred ghosts in the hospital made their scalps tingle; in this atmosphere even the talkative Sun Yi knew to shut his mouth.

"Meetings every day, and every meeting brings only bad news—isn't there any good news?"

Even Sun Yi from headquarters could only weakly complain; it's not his fault—who let these two days' meetings be either a problem here or someone missing there?

"Several hundred ghost infants! That's just the surface number—who knows how many lurk unseen? If this continues, we might as well spend the remaining time with our families."

"..."

The speaker was Liu Guang; he and Zhang Han are both local Ghost Masters of Dachangshi, their families are in Dachangshi, and indeed they now have second thoughts about retreating.

The four Ghost Masters who went ahead died without even making a ripple; how could he not feel frightened, but he felt embarrassed to leave alone, so he wanted to drag others along.

Zhang Han felt somewhat swayed by his words, but after thinking it over he still stayed silent; he believed there was still a chance, and the remaining eight Ghost Masters still had fighting strength, so he kept quiet.

Sun Yi's family isn't in Dachangshi, and he himself is from headquarters, so he naturally wouldn't echo Liu Guang's words.

As for Wang Xiaoqiang, he didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Seeing no one swayed, Liu Guang grudgingly closed his mouth.

Thus after waiting a few more minutes, Chen Shoushan and Ye Feng finally came in from outside.

Upon seeing them, Zhang Han's eyelids twitched and he asked: "What about Zhao Kai Ming? He couldn't have gone missing too, could he?"

It wasn't because he was close to Zhao Kai Ming, but because he truly didn't want anyone else to die; the feeling of going out and someone dying is truly desperate!

Chen Shoushan and Ye Feng exchanged a glance; Ye Feng coughed twice and said: "Don't worry, he didn't go missing—we just killed him."

Zhang Han was a bit dazed; when Ye Feng said 'don't worry' he really felt relieved, but the latter sentence left him confused: what does 'we just killed him' mean??

"After investigation, police officer Zhao Kai Ming is suspected of condoning and concealing the occurrence of the starving ghost incident, seriously endangering the lives and property of Dachangshi citizens, causing severe social turmoil; acting on the orders of Headquarters Chief Researcher Professor Wang Xiao Ming, he was executed on the spot."

Chen Shoushan explained to everyone; the looks people gave him were off, and Sun Yi muttered quietly: "Could he also be from headquarters? I've never heard of this person, and Professor Wang didn't mention him..."

"Then, then let Professor Wang summon Yang Jian back! He couldn't possibly have died too, could he?"

Zhang Han said somewhat urgently, "If Zhao Kai Ming is gone, then Yang Jian must come back; he controls two ghosts, one of which even possesses a top-tier Ghost Realm for preserving life—that's formidable combat power."

He had just finished speaking when he noticed Chen Shoushan's gaze looking at him somewhat strangely.

At this point, whether Yang Jian is dead or alive is really hard to say,

"Now that everyone's here, let's start the meeting."

At this moment, Wang Xiao Ming, who had been outside, finally came in.

"How did we just become complete? Where's Yang Jian?"

Zhang Han was on the verge of tears; "How long has it been? We haven't even started the group fight and we've already lost half our people—what's the point of playing?"

"Yang Jian has other things to do; you don't need to worry too much, he'll come back."

Chen Shoushan also feared they'd break up and want to go home, so he hurried to reassure them: "If they scatter, who will hunt ghost infants with me?"

"Don't worry too much; with Chen Shoushan on our side, this supernatural incident still has a good chance of being resolved!"

Wang Xiaoming finally spoke; given his status, his words were still relatively convincing, and morale stabilized somewhat at once, with everyone present looking toward Wang Xiaoming.

There was no choice; we had to give everyone some hope, otherwise this makeshift unit would disband, so Wang Xiaoming pushed Chen Shoushan forward, and Chen Shoushan's ability could indeed greatly stabilize morale.

Can the Ghost Master suppress the evil ghost's revival in a short time?

When Wang Xiaoming spoke of the ability of the ghosts that Chen Shoushan controlled, everyone present except Ye Feng was stunned.

And with that commotion, everyone did indeed calm down considerably; if everyone could, in a short time, ignore the evil ghost's revival and use their own abilities, then dealing with several hundred ghost infants would not be impossible.

"But using your ability to such an extent, Chen Shoushan, you won't suffer an evil ghost revival, will you?"

Sun Yi asked worriedly.

"I can prevent you from reviving, so could I possibly revive myself?"

Chen Shoushan asked back with a smile.

As soon as those words were spoken, the air instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
