‘Is she trying to take back the Ghost Clothes?’ Wan Hao thought to himself.
It was impossible to return them; he currently relied on the Ghost Clothes and the Ghost Hand to maintain a fragile balance, and this balance was extremely precarious, even though he could indeed utilize supernatural powers.
However, using any form of supernatural power would cause an imbalance, leading to the Ghost Hand Revival. The conflict between the two supernatural powers would certainly result in his death!
Setting aside whether he could even strip away the Ghost Clothes, which had already formed a connection with the Ghost Hand, simply losing the Ghost Clothes now would revert the Ghost Hand to its previous state of revival!
The Ghost Hand itself was an already revived Malevolent Ghost. Although he didn't know how he managed to Control it, it was still a revived ghost that could take his life in an instant!
“The ghosts are apprehended by me, so how they are handled should be my decision. Wouldn't you agree, Miss Nan Ge?”
Wan Hao’s attitude hardened. This was also the default method for dealing with Malevolent Ghosts—whoever apprehended the ghost gets to decide its fate. It was impossible to just return it because she claimed it was originally hers.
After all, their relationship hadn't reached that level; they were merely acquaintances who had just met.
As he spoke, Wan Hao kept his eyes fixed on Nan Ge. If she made any move to attack, Wan Hao would not hesitate to draw his gun and fire, even though he didn't know what abilities Nan Ge’s ghost possessed.
He didn't know if Gold Bullets could kill her, as some ghosts were special; their Supernatural Power wouldn't allow a Ghost Controller to die easily, but he couldn't do nothing either.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Nan Ge did not press the issue of the Ghost Clothes, instead bringing up the matter of Xia Xia’s Ghost Revival.
“Previously, a Supernatural Event broke out in Dayang City. That ghost possessed a Ghost Domain, but it didn't roam around; instead, it was fixed in one location. We previously sought Captain Wang’s help to deal with this matter, but we failed.”
“Sister Xia’s Ghost Revival this time was caused by her making contact with that ghost again. You are the Person in Charge; how do you intend to handle this matter?”
Wan Hao was unaware of this incident. He had only taken over as Person in Charge two days ago, spending one of those nights at the Ghost Post Office, so he hadn't had time to learn about many things yet.
‘What does she mean? Is she suggesting we team up to handle this Supernatural Event? Based on what she said, they approached Captain Wang first, so that ghost was their target?’
Wan Hao tried to guess Nan Ge’s purpose in bringing this up, but there was too little information to deduce anything. Moreover, his current condition was not good; he might lose balance and trigger a Ghost Revival even while walking down the street.
“I currently have other Supernatural Events on my hands that I cannot step away from. Since that ghost hasn't moved or caused any other harm, let's put it aside for now. Miss Nan Ge, is there anything else?”
Wan Hao did not want to continue this back-and-forth with Nan Ge; his situation was precarious, and he could lose supernatural balance at any moment.
Hearing Wan Hao’s reply, Nan Ge stopped talking and turned to leave directly.
As she reached the door, her cold voice sounded again: “You are the Person in Charge; you can do whatever you want. Also, I hate it when people call me Miss!”
Not long after, the roar of a sports car was heard, and the sound quickly faded away, indicating Nan Ge had already departed.
“What a strange person. But then again, which Ghost Controller isn't strange?”
After Nan Ge left, Wan Hao muttered this to himself, then picked up his phone and called the armed personnel waiting outside.
“Bring the men in; everything is clear here.”
A short while later, over a dozen Special Forces Personnel arrived to secure the area in front of Villa No. 4. The Captain approached Wan Hao, saluted first, and then asked.
“Report, personnel are assembled. Do you have any further instructions!”
This Captain was somewhat stern, which Wan Hao disliked, so he waved his hand, signaling him not to be so formal.
“You handle the site cleanup. Oh, right, there is a Golden House here; dig it out. Do not damage anything inside. Just send it to my residence. Hurry, it needs to be delivered to me today!”
After giving some instructions, Wan Hao drove back to the city center with Wei Ying.
He didn't take Wei Ying to the airport; after booking her ticket through Headquarters, he hailed a cab to send her back, while Wan Hao himself still had things to do.
He couldn't leave the two ghosts at the Arcade unattended. He notified Special Personnel to clear the people from that section, and only after cutting off all power did Wan Hao drive over.
He didn't want anyone to know he was hiding two ghosts. Cutting the power was to disable the surveillance, ensuring that everything he did would be as hidden from Headquarters investigation as possible.
After some effort, Wan Hao managed to move the two Golden Corpse Bags back to his Villa.
At this time, a large truck also delivered the Golden House from Xia Xia’s residence—a large iron box, still bearing traces of cement.
The Golden House was only the size of a bathroom. It wasn't made entirely of Gold; instead, a sturdy frame was constructed using thick Alloy Material, which was then coated with gold paint on the interior.
After moving the Golden House into the Villa, Wan Hao dismissed everyone.
After some thought, Wan Hao dialed the Operator’s number.
“Send me the intelligence on the Malevolent Ghosts controlled by the former Person in Charge, Captain Wang!”
Soon, Wan Hao’s phone received information about the Malevolent Ghosts Captain Wang controlled. Captain Wang’s intelligence report was detailed; he hadn't concealed anything.
【Wang Fugui, codename Ghost Clothes, Ability: Defense. His Malevolent Ghost is rather unique; its Revival time is very slow, capable of resisting attacks from both Malevolent Ghosts and physical means. His greatest achievement was helping other Ghost Controllers withstand simultaneous attacks from two ghosts without sustaining fatal damage himself; only the ghost erosion accelerated, but he did not die. 】
Wan Hao looked at the two Corpse Bags before him; one contained the Black Mist Ghost, and the other contained Captain Wang’s Ghost Clothes.
“The abilities of the Black Mist Ghost are not entirely clear. Although it could fight the Ghost Hand to a standstill, I cannot release the Ghost Hand right now; an accident might occur if I do.”
“Conversely, the intelligence on Captain Wang’s Ghost Clothes is very detailed, and it basically doesn't roam around attacking people.”
After careful consideration, Wan Hao still dared not attempt to Control the Black Mist Ghost, instead focusing his gaze on the Corpse Bag containing the Ghost Clothes.
“Sigh, my understanding of the Supernatural Circle is still too limited... Controlling already revived Malevolent Ghosts like this is too dangerous, and there are no precedents for me to reference.”
Controlling a Malevolent Ghost is extremely dangerous. Wan Hao had seen on Headquarters’ website that someone successfully controlled two ghosts to extend the time before a Malevolent Ghost Revival, but the success rate for such an endeavor was less than thirty percent.
But Wan Hao had no choice now; he had a feeling that his current balance wouldn't last long!
If the balance fails, it means death. Wan Hao could only take a gamble and introduce a new supernatural entity to counterbalance the Ghost Hand!
‘Only a ghost can deal with a ghost’—this maxim echoed in Wan Hao’s ears.
Introducing a new supernatural entity was the only solution Wan Hao could think of.
Once the decision was made, Wan Hao called his mother. He didn't mention that he was going to die or anything like that, but instead chatted about mundane family matters. This conversation lasted for over half an hour.
Afterward, Wan Hao dialed the Operator’s number once more.
“This is Wan Hao. Regarding Xia Xia’s Ghost Revival at the Nan Ge Club in Dayang City, I have now Controlled her ghost. However, I have encountered some physical issues. I will confine myself inside a Golden House. If I don't come out after ten days, have someone take over. The two ghosts should be worth a considerable amount of money. Transfer that money to my mother then. I want the Mayor to personally handle the handover. Tell them I died fulfilling a critical national duty, and that money is the compensation.”
