Their team's overall strength is considered very high within the Lin'an branch. As long as they don't encounter vicious monsters, they can handle wild and fierce monsters without any problems.
Just as they left the warehouse, Fang Moyuan secretly asked Zhou Boyu, "Captain, why didn't you issue a forced conscription order to Xia Tianqiong just now?"
The conscription order is a recruitment order issued by the Bureau of Mysterious Affairs to civilian ghost hunters.
Strange occurrences have happened occasionally since ancient times, and lucky individuals in the common people often become ghost hunters, though their numbers are few.
Some were recruited by the authorities and joined the Bureau of Strange Affairs.
Some were absorbed by various ancient families, becoming their henchmen or retainers.
Some people who dislike being restrained can live freely among the people after registering with the management bureau.
Many of the extraordinary people people often talk about are these folk ghost hunters.
Due to the increase in strange events in the past two days, the management bureau is severely understaffed.
This morning, the authorities issued a mandatory recruitment order for all civilian ghost hunters to temporarily join the management bureau and help deal with strange events.
This forced conscription order cannot be refused; otherwise, the authorities have the right to temporarily detain the person.
“Xia Tianqiong is too special; we can’t treat him like an ordinary folk ghost hunter.”
Zhou Boyu recalled the various pieces of information he had gathered over the past two days and became increasingly curious about Xia Tianqiong.
"He deciphered the mystery of the Mother of Ghosts' search for her baby, made a contract with the baby ghost, and at least made contracts with the Gambling Ghost and the Mirror Ghost at the Express Hotel. He also bought nine waiters at the Wujian Restaurant."
He appeared in Jiuhua City last night and was involved in a large-scale bizarre event. Tens of thousands of people disappeared without a trace, including two ghost hunters from the Jiuhua branch. He is here now, which may mean he escaped or he has broken the bizarre rules.
Now that he's contracted with a malevolent, hanging ghost of the highest level, this person is qualified to sit down and negotiate. Although we represent the authorities, we can't push him too far. If we push him too far, it will be even more difficult to handle than the strange events themselves.
The Bureau's branches in various locations share information, so Zhou Boyu knew that the people from the Jiuhua branch had contacted Xia Tianqiong and that he was involved in the Ghost Realm.
Zhou Boyu's words greatly surprised his team members.
They thought Xia Tianqiong was just a rich person, but they didn't expect him to be so strong. He was even as powerful as their entire ghost-hunting team.
No, they might be even stronger than their squad.
Xia Tianqiong was flying in the city's night sky at this moment.
His flight posture was rather strange; if someone saw him, they might think he was hanging himself.
This is the trickery of the Hanging Ghost - the White Silk Flying Across.
When performing trickery, a white ribbon conjures up out of thin air, which is then placed around the neck, pulling the body through the air.
Although it's worn around the neck, it doesn't cause suffocation or feel tight.
It wouldn't be enough to strangle him to death.
There is another trick called the "Hanging Ghost Technique," which is called "The Soul-Seizing Hanging Technique: Chasing You to the Ends of the Earth."
The previous trick's name was normal, but this one is so cringeworthy!
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat speechless.
He asked the hanged ghost to change his name, but the ghost refused.
In the end, it took ten taels of gold to persuade them to agree to change the name to "Soul-Stealing White Silk".
Similar to the White Ribbon Flying, it can conjure a white ribbon out of thin air, but this white ribbon can automatically track the target and strangle it.
It can attack a single target or launch a group attack, making it a very practical offensive trick.
Xia Tianqiong knew this all too well; if it weren't for the ghost-hunting team, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Hanging Ghost on his own.
Flying in the night sky now, I just wanted to find something eerie to test my skills.
I've had enough sleep during the day, so tonight is the perfect time to start my big hunt.
