After many busy days, the company has gotten back on track, and the prospects for live-streaming e-commerce are exceptionally bright. Hou Wenjie's four top talents have all demonstrated their abilities.

The movie "The God of Cookery," starring Doll Sister and Stephen Chow, was released in theaters and raked in 2 billion yuan at the box office, instantly shattering the doubts many industry insiders had about the internet celebrity group.

The total sales volume of the Summer Mountain Selection live broadcast room hosted by Doll Sister and Zhan Chengwen exceeded 20 million.

Watson's inventions included the robot vacuum cleaner and the three-wheeled vehicle.

The robotic vacuum cleaner has already been patented and put into production. The aerial tricycle, on the other hand, has applied for a design patent and is seeking technical support from military industrial groups.

Seeing this situation, the joint venture capital firms finally stopped hesitating and finalized the contract terms. Hou Wenjie also successfully secured a record-breaking amount of financing.

From the moment he received the money, he could finally begin his real plan.

Searching for her missing aunt, and gradually uncovering the strangeness of this world.

He first offered a reward of 2 million yuan on an online platform to find his aunt. The photo above was a faded photograph that he found at his aunt's house.

Two million is no small sum, no matter how you look at it. In this world where the strangeness has not yet spread and money still speaks volumes, Hou Wenjie believed that someone would definitely come looking for him.

This world is severely fragmented, consisting of small, isolated circles that never intersect. Those who haven't entered these circles can never imagine what happens within them.

Five days after Hou Wenjie issued the reward notice, someone found him.

"My name is Ye Feng, and this is my identification." The man took out an identification document.

Hou Wenjie took the document and saw that the unit it belonged to was Yunmengze Police Station, and the position was a staff member of the patrol police detachment.

After returning the identification to the other party, Hou Wenjie glanced at him briefly, surprised that the policeman was wearing black leather gloves in such a hot summer.

What's even more surprising is that, based on the birth date on his ID, this policeman should only be in his early twenties, but he looks like he's forty years old.

Hou Wenjie politely invited them to sit down and then gestured to his assistant to make tea.

Ye Feng interrupted him and said, "Mr. Hou, I would like to speak with you alone."

Hou Wenjie was taken aback at first, then nodded and gestured for his assistant to go out and close the door.

Only after the door was locked did Ye Feng speak:

"Mr. Hou, I saw the reward you posted online. Actually, we have some clues about your aunt."

But what I'm about to say might be hard for you to believe.

So, I'd like to ask you this first: do you believe in the existence of ghosts and spirits?

As expected! Hou Wenjie's heart skipped a beat, but he appeared very serious on the surface:

"I'm not sure if ghosts exist in this world, but my aunt did go crazy suddenly when I was a child, when we were by the water."

Later, my aunt disappeared, and my grandmother went insane. These events became a shadow over my childhood, so I want to find my aunt and take care of her, regardless of whether she remembers me or not.

Ye Feng looked at Hou Wenjie and asked, "So, you're half-believing in the existence of the Ghost, since you haven't actually seen it with your own eyes, is that what you mean?"

Hou Wenjie nodded.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Okay, to avoid making it too complicated to explain, I'll demonstrate it for you myself."

As he spoke, Ye Feng took off his gloves and stretched out his arms to show Hou Wenjie his hands.

In the center of each of his palms was an extremely eerie and enormous eye.

The black pupils in those eyes were only a tiny dot, while the rest of the white irises were covered with blood vessels.

The moment those eyes met Hou Wenjie's, Hou Wenjie felt as if he were suddenly sealed off by a chilling energy.

The little snake in his mind hissed and raised its body from the stream, seemingly wanting to devour the chilling energy, but Hou Wenjie, not wanting to cause any disturbance, easily suppressed it.

In just a moment, Ye Feng put his gloves back on, and he looked at Hou Wenjie and said:

"Did you just feel something cold and damp binding you, making you feel like you couldn't move?"

Hou Wenjie's expression turned grave, and he channeled his inner actor, asking, "What exactly is this? Are you human or a monster?"

Ye Feng waved his hand and laughed, "Don't be nervous! Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Ye Feng, and I am a member of the Ghost Bureau of Yunmengze!"

Our Bureau of Mysteries is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Yunmengze Police Bureau, but in reality, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Chuzhou Bureau of Mysteries.

"The Sealed Ghost?" Hou Wenjie looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "The Sealer is a very special profession. Sealing ghosts is like sealing ghosts! As the name suggests, everyone has at least one ghost sealed inside them!"

Those who are considered treacherous are usually short-lived.

Moreover, the desires of those who are sealed away will also be amplified due to the strange erosion within their bodies.

Before becoming the Sealed Ghosts, most of them were ordinary people, and most of them did not have a strong will or faith.

Therefore, the state turns a blind eye to minor illegal activities by people from Fenggui, such as eating seafood, playing cards together, or selling counterfeit goods.

However, the state will severely crack down on serious crimes committed by Feng Guiren, such as murder and robbery.

Feng Guiren's salary is decent, but only decent; the social system dictates that the country's resources cannot be tilted too much towards individual people.

However, the state has not explicitly prohibited Feng Guiren from earning extra money on his own.

I saw your online bounty and also learned some information about your aunt from the Bureau of Ghost Stories' archives.

"But 2 million is too little, I want more!"

Hou Wenjie asked, "How many do you want?"

Ye Feng said, "8 million! I will not only tell you clues about your aunt, but also some knowledge about the supernatural."

After all, this world is becoming increasingly dangerous. Knowing more about the supernatural might just save your life if you ever encounter something truly bizarre!

Hou Wenjie pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, 8 million it is."

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Boss Hou is indeed straightforward."

The Bureau of Mysteries' files record that when your aunt was with you, she was indeed invaded by a certain F-level mystery.

Level F is the lowest level among all strange entities.

There are two possible outcomes when someone is invaded by an F-level weird intrusion: one is to grit their teeth and endure the initial discomfort caused by the weird intrusion, eventually becoming a Ghost-Sealing Person.

The second type is when one's physiology and willpower cannot withstand the strain, and within a very short period of time, one's mind is subjected to a strange and intense erosion, eventually leading to a mental illness.

In the first scenario, the authorities will recruit them as licensed "suppressors" (people who work as exorcists). Those who are unwilling to be restricted must join an affiliated organization of the authorities, which will further restrict their movement.

In the second case, the authorities will mark it, but generally no action will be taken; the patient will be treated as a normal mental patient.

Hou Wenjie asked doubtfully, "Isn't the second scenario even more dangerous? Couldn't a strange power control a person's body to do unimaginable things?"

Ye Feng explained, "No. Because these F-level anomalies are often extremely weak, or even a part of an anomaly. When it invades a person's mind, it is already trapped inside the body. Moreover, in the body of a mentally ill person, the frequency of the anomaly's activity will drop to a minimum! It may even fall into a state of dormancy!"

Hou Wenjie recalled the mysterious death of Xiao Wang. His situation didn't fall into either of those categories; could the supernatural force that had eroded their minds back then have been even more powerful?

He suppressed his doubts and calmly asked, "How can a mentally ill person trap a supernatural entity in their body without sufficient mental resistance?"
