Xia Tianqiong brought the strange baby back with a smile on her face.
"Goodness, you're finally going to level up."
The Ghost Baby was one of the earliest ghosts to follow Xia Tianqiong. The delivery ghost fed it Netherworld Delivery every day. Over such a long time, other ghosts have upgraded one after another, but it has remained unchanged.
Fortunately, the upgrade is finally happening today.
Xia Tianqiong quickly sent the ghost baby into the mirror space and asked the delivery ghost to arrange a quiet courtyard.
Next, he found an inn in the courtesan's ghostly realm, stayed for one night, and returned to the capital city the next morning.
As for the cave town, it was left to Xiao Yi and dozens of contracted ghosts to guard it.
The capital city remains as bustling and lively as ever, with people going to work, going to school, and getting stuck in traffic as usual.
Last night, nearly 10,000 members of the Liu family, both direct and collateral relatives, were killed, involving dozens of companies and factories. This should have been a major event, but ordinary people in the capital city had no idea about it.
The news of the Liu family's annihilation circulated only among a small number of upper-class individuals, and no one dared to discuss it much.
Because the authorities forbid it, the other ancient families will also issue warnings.
In one night, the Huang, Bai, and Mo families almost wiped out all the Liu family members in the capital and seized more than 80% of their industries and resources.
The reason it wasn't 100% is because other families discovered the situation in the middle of the night and joined the fray to compete for the Liu family's assets.
During this process, a struggle even broke out, and they almost came to blows.
After daybreak, the patriarchs of the seven ancient families gathered together for an emergency meeting.
The Wang, Cui, Xiao, and Hu families jointly accused the Huang, Bai, and Mo families of undermining the unity among ancient clans and said that the Liu family should not have been destroyed.
But none of the three companies acknowledge it!
The meeting was filled with arguments, and finally, the three companies gave up a portion of their assets to the other four, which calmed things down.
In fact, that is the real purpose of holding the meeting!
With the fall of the Liu family, the other seven families all benefited greatly, and even the government got a piece of the pie.
The Liu family's physical businesses were robbed, but they still have hundreds of billions of RMB in the bank, which no one can take away.
Although the purchasing power of RMB has been declining since the emergence of ghost money, it is still a nationally issued currency and has not been completely replaced by ghost money, and still has great practical value.
This money was ultimately confiscated by the government and turned into state property.
After Xia Tianqiong returned to the capital city, she contacted Huang Kun and prepared to return Huang Liyun to him.
This was agreed upon at the time.
He transformed himself into the appearance of a passerby, eating steamed buns at a breakfast shop while waiting.
However, the first person to come was Du Fuwei.
The breakfast shop isn't big, but it's very popular and always packed with customers.
Du Fuwei didn't seem to have eaten breakfast either. He went to order first, then sat down opposite Xia Tianqiong with a bowl of soy milk, fried dough rings, and a plate of pickled vegetables.
After sitting down, he suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible, eerie domain enveloped the two of them.
The strange domain was small, barely covering the two of them, and no one else could sense anything unusual about it.
Xia Tianqiong looked up and realized that this strange domain was used for soundproofing.
"Mr. Xia, the General Administration asked me to tell you something."
Du Fuwei sipped his soy milk and chatted casually, as if he were talking to an old friend.
Xia Tianqiong didn't seem to care, and took a bite of her steamed bun. "What is it?"
"There is a special place near the capital that we call the Gate of the Ghost Realm. The ghosts that descend there are more frequent, and recently, evil ghosts and vicious ghosts have appeared often. In the past, it has always been our official ghost hunters who have been guarding it."
However, we're a bit short-staffed lately, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to go there to oversee things. Of course, it's entirely up to you whether you go or not; I'm just asking on behalf of the General Administration.
"The Gate to the Realm of Ghosts? Where is it? Are there many malevolent and ferocious ghosts?"
Xia Tianqiong put down the steamed bun, looked up at the other person, and her eyes were full of interest.
He had never heard of this place in his previous life.
Du Fuwei suddenly said seriously, "Three hundred kilometers southeast of the capital, strange things have often appeared there since ancient times, and now they appear in large numbers, far more than in other places, so it is called the Gate of the Ghost Realm."
According to recent statistics, more than a hundred wild monsters and a dozen fierce monsters descend there every day. Approximately one evil monster appears every five days, and one malevolent monster appears every ten days.
This timeframe isn't entirely accurate; it might shorten over time. In fact, things could even get unpredictable later on. So you need to be clear about your decision and think carefully before going.
Xia Tianqiong was wondering where to find the evil spirit next when the official team delivered it to her doorstep.
"Okay, I'll go, but I'll go in a few days."
"The General Administration will provide you with supplies. In addition, there are several squads of Ghost Hunters from the General Administration stationed there. You are the deputy captain of the Inspectorate. If needed, you can mobilize them."
"Um."
Xia Tianqiong nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.
He didn't intend to mobilize the official ghost hunters, but he didn't want to directly refuse their kindness.
The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, and after finishing his meal, Du Fuwei got up and left.
Two minutes later, I received a text message from Huang Kun on my phone.
Xia Tianqiong got up and left the breakfast shop. A black minivan was parked in front of the shop.
He opened the door and got into the car, where he saw Huang Kun driving and Guangwen sitting in the passenger seat.
Huang Kun was clearly still a little afraid of Xia Tianqiong because he brought Li Gui with him when he came to pick up his daughter.
Good morning, Mr. Xia.
Huang Kun greeted him with a big smile.
"Good morning."
Xia Tianqiong replied casually, then took out a bronze mirror and looked at the empty seat next to him. Huang Liyun flew out from the mirror and sat directly in the seat.
