After understanding the Ghost Revival level, the two ended their call.
Headquarters.
Liu Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Jianguo with some confusion and asked, "Captain, that Wan Hao clearly doesn't know anything and hasn't been trained, so why did you immediately let him take office?"
Zhao Jianguo smiled helplessly, the smile very forced.
"Joining Headquarters means dealing with Supernatural Events in a city, and dealing with Supernatural Events carries the risk of death, or at least accelerating the Ghost Revival. That's why there aren't many Ghost Controllers at Headquarters."
"And the Dachang City Incident will definitely cost many lives, making manpower even scarcer. There's no time to train Wan Hao now; we just have to push him into the role."
In the rental house.
Wan Hao, having ended the call, looked again at his terrifying hand, unable to forget the scene when Captain Wang asked how many people had died.
"So Captain Wang was judging the Malevolent Ghost's level based on the number of deaths."
"But Liu Jiaojiao finally said that the Malevolent Ghost's level is divided based on the degree of harm to people, and it cannot represent the Malevolent Ghost's inherent Terror Level."
This meant that a C-level Malevolent Ghost could still be very terrifying!
He moved his somewhat stiff and cold Ghost Hand.
"The Malevolent Ghost I Control is clearly rated only C, but whether facing the Black Mist Ghost or Captain Wang, he took them down with just one touch. Captain Wang didn't even survive in the end. The Terror Level of this Ghost Hand is quite high."
Wan Hao did not feel anything unusual from the Ghost Hand, perhaps because he hadn't used his Supernatural Power yet.
But remembering Captain Wang saying his Ghost Hand was terrifying and its Revival would be fast, advising him not to use the Malevolent Ghost's power casually.
Wan Hao smiled wryly.
"How can I not understand the Strength before using it? If I don't know how to use it, won't I mess up at a critical moment?"
"I don't even know how I Control the Malevolent Ghost."
Wan Hao recalled the footsteps that appeared just as he was about to be attacked, and the bearded man who approached to deliver him a letter.
"What kind of place is the Post Office? Can they help people Control a Malevolent Ghost there?"
Recalling the mysterious bearded man and the eerie Scarlet letter, Wan Hao frowned.
At this moment, Wan Hao was already thinking about the future. According to Captain Wang, Controlling two Malevolent Ghosts could extend one's life. Even if he didn't feel the Ghost Revival now, he had to make plans early.
Otherwise, it would be too late to think about it when the Ghost Revival occurred.
"Can the Post Office help me Control another Ghost?"
Unfortunately, Wan Hao didn't know who those people were yesterday, nor did he know where the so-called Post Office was. In this era, who still used post offices? Everything was done via phone calls and text messages.
Therefore, Wan Hao felt that this Post Office must be related to Malevolent Ghosts. And Captain Wang said that only ghosts could deal with ghosts, which further convinced Wan Hao that this Post Office was connected to ghosts.
Lost in thought, Wan Hao unknowingly fell asleep.
However, even in his dreams, Wan Hao could still feel the chilling coldness of both his palms.
Wan Hao woke up at noon the next day. Due to the incident at the Arcade, it couldn't operate for the time being, so Wan Hao stayed in bed and went nowhere.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A knocking sound came, and Wan Hao got up to open the door.
"Mr. Wan Hao, here are the things you requested!"
The person who arrived was Jiang Hong from yesterday; he stood at the door holding a box and a stack of documents.
"Come in."
He took the box Jiang Hong handed over and, upon opening it, saw a pair of gold-threaded gloves lying inside. Without being reserved in front of Jiang Hong, Wan Hao immediately picked up the gloves and put them on.
Only then did Wan Hao take out his mobile phone from his pocket. As expected, the phone was dead and powered off. After charging the phone, Wan Hao took out cigarettes and offered one to Jiang Hong.
"This is?"
Wan Hao pointed to the documents in Jiang Hong's hand and asked.
"These are appointment letters. They state that you are now the Dayang City Head. But we still need to go through these procedures; just sign them."
Wan Hao took the documents and quickly glanced over them. They detailed some departments Wan Hao could mobilize and the responsibilities he needed to undertake.
In summary, he had authority but also needed to maintain the city, handle Supernatural Events, and would be requisitioned to help with unsolvable incidents in other cities. Of course, this was mutual; he could also requisition others for help.
Without overthinking, he directly signed his name on them. Headquarters wouldn't use such matters to trick him.
"From now on, you are the Dayang City Head. I am the Criminal Police Captain of Dayang City, responsible for liaising with you. If you need anything, you can contact me."
As Jiang Hong spoke, he handed over some identification documents to Wan Hao. Taking them and opening them, Wan Hao thought, 'Good heavens, Headquarters arranged things quickly!'
Interpol Officer Wan Hao, Dayang City Head. There was his photo on it, and it even had a steel stamp.
"Oh, right, they also arranged a new residence for you. Some Gold Artifacts left by Captain Wang are still there. Would you like me to take you there now?"
Hearing about Gold Artifacts, Wan Hao's heart stirred. It wasn't because gold was valuable, but because gold could isolate the supernatural. Wan Hao needed to prepare some gold now!
"Alright then, take me to see it first. I won't move things over yet."
Wan Hao did not refuse the arrangement for a new residence; there was nothing wrong with living better. The only regret was that he couldn't reveal this to his mother right now.
The two drove to a Villa.
Jiang Hong gave Wan Hao both the car keys and the house keys.
Jiang Hong still needed to handle the aftermath of yesterday's events, so he left after bringing Wan Hao here.
The Villa was already furnished; there was no need to buy any furniture—just move in.
"Heh heh, Controlling a Malevolent Ghost is truly reaching the heavens in one step—exchanging life for it."
Wan Hao couldn't help but sigh.
The things Captain Wang left behind were very practical: a Golden Box, a Golden Corpse Bag, and even a Golden Pistol and Bullets.
What man doesn't love these things? Wan Hao tested a few shots and felt his aim was decent, so he stopped practicing because the bullets weren't plentiful.
Jiang Hong had made excellent arrangements, even preparing ingredients and such. After eating, Wan Hao turned on the provided Computer.
He logged into the website Liu Jiaojiao mentioned to check the information about the Supernatural Circle.
Time passed quickly, and the sky was turning red. Wan Hao stretched, but just then, the room suddenly changed!
A winding path leading into the distance appeared in the room, as if superimposed by multiple images.
The path was muddy, and at the end of the path stood an old building. Judging by its style, it resembled architecture from the Republic of China Era. A signboard hung on the building's main door, surrounded by flashing, colorful neon lights.
The atmosphere was oppressive and eerie!
"Ghost Post Office!"
Wan Hao read the characters on the neon light.
"Post Office!"
Wan Hao remembered what those people said yesterday about the Post Office; it must be this one.
"Why would the Post Office seek me out?"
Wan Hao didn't quite understand, suspecting he was being dragged into some Supernatural Event. The Ghost Post Office was still illusory at the moment, but it was gradually becoming real, as if about to overlap with reality!
