Chapter 140 Handover



As they sped along, Hou Wenjie felt the summer breeze blowing through his hair, a feeling of indescribable comfort.

He found that his skin was getting thicker and thicker. Even at such high speeds, facing such strong oncoming wind, he could feel a soft force rubbing against his face.

Yes, this feels great. Hou Wenjie is now experiencing the joy of traveling to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

So that's where the word "driving" comes from? He understood.

Hou Wenjie's red sports car arrived at the Hangzhou Ghost Story Hall at 8:11 p.m.

After transforming the sports car into a magic bag and hanging it on his waist, Hou Wenjie discovered that a group of people were already waiting for him on the first floor of the office building of the Mysterious Hall.

A middle-aged man with a square face recognized Hou Wenjie immediately as he stepped out of the sports car.

He walked over with a group of people and extended his hand to Hou Wenjie: "I am Li Xuewen. Thank you for your help this time."

Hou Wenjie shook his head: "It's nothing. I will do it if I have the ability. I believe that every Feng Gui person thinks the same way."

Li Xuewen shook his head: "But you're the best one right now! Let's go inside and talk!"

"Okay!" Hou Wenjie nodded to everyone present as a greeting.

The group entered a spacious hall. The furnishings were simple: a few solid wood sofas and matching tea tables.

Tea was being brewed on the tea table, filling the entire hall with a faint aroma.

Li Xuewen invited Hou Wenjie to sit on a sofa, and then said with a smile, "I'm older than you, so I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Hou. Brother, where have you arranged for those survivors?"

Li Xuewen learned from the information that Hou Wenjie had a strange object that could hold people, but he didn't know its specific effects, since he had never seen it with his own eyes and the information only mentioned it briefly.

Hou Wenjie took the Ruyi Qiankun Bag from his waist and said, "They are all inside. I will release the survivors first."

"Okay!" Li Xuewen and everyone else in the hall looked at the small brocade pouch with curiosity.

They were all knowledgeable about the supernatural, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone turn the supernatural into an object and carry it on their person.

This completely overturned their common sense and made them realize even more the significance of being officially ranked No. 1 among the top ghost hunters.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Hou Wenjie uttered, "Big!"

After Hou Wenjie spoke, the Ruyi Qiankun Bag continued to grow larger, and 22 people flew out of it.

Qian Jiaming, who came out from the crowd, was a little confused when he saw so many people around him, but he was relieved when he saw Hou Wenjie.

So he walked over and stood next to Hou Wenjie, because in his subconscious, standing next to Hou Wenjie was the safest thing to do.

The others simply stood there, their eyes open, but without light, like the living dead.

While everyone was still in surprise, Hou Wenjie's eyes cracked open, revealing his third eye, which shone with spiritual light!

These lights shone into the eyes of each survivor, waking them from a dream.

The members of the Bureau of Strange Affairs were also astonished and marveled at the sight.

That's what you call awesome! This is awesome! You can't argue with that!

Among them, the four veteran ghost hunters of the Ghost Affairs Hall were even more shocked.

When their eyes came into contact with Hou Wenjie's luminous eye, they could clearly feel that the strange erosion within their bodies was being suppressed.

It seems that the rumors circulating online about Hou Wenjie being able to help people remove supernatural phenomena are not false!

This guy is ridiculously strong. The four of us, who are practically nobodys, would probably be unable to even use our strange abilities if we were to fight him.

When we get back, we must carefully study the book "The Origin and Flow of Qi" and strive to cultivate the Great Dao ourselves! This was the common sentiment of the four of them at this moment.

The survivors who woke up, including the ghost-sealing man who went on the rescue mission, were quickly taken by the Ghost Affairs Bureau's special vehicle to a special psychological counseling hospital established by the government.

Qian Jiaming clung to Hou Wenjie's leg, crying and pleading not to be taken away by the heavily armed men in white coats who came in. "Don't take me away! I'm not sick, I'm really not sick! Boss Hou, please, don't let them take me away!"

Qian Jiaming was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face. Hou Wenjie was both amused and exasperated, and said:

"Don't worry, they won't dissect you. They'll just give you a full-body checkup and a psychological test to see if you have an extreme personality. All the tests are free. Finally, you'll sign a confidentiality agreement, and then you can leave."

After much persuasion, Hou Wenjie finally managed to convince Qian Jiaming to leave.

As soon as he left, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"He's quite funny!"

"Who isn't a child!"

"It's a pity he's a man, otherwise... hehehe!"

"Alright!" Li Xuewen interrupted the chatter with a serious expression and looked at Hou Wenjie: "Are those people's remains also in the bag?"

Hou Wenjie nodded: "Yes, the bodies of the two Feng Guiren are gone, only the remains of the three crew members were found."

Li Xuewen sighed and said, "This is the danger of the supernatural! It can take a person's life so easily. I'll call the funeral team at our Bureau of Supernatural Affairs and have them take the body away."

A moment of silence fell over the room, a sign of respect for the deceased. Soon, a group of people carried in a stretcher.

Hou Wenjie then placed the bodies of the three crew members on top and had the funeral team carry them away.

After that, the atmosphere calmed down.

Li Xuewen glanced at the brocade pouch that Hou Wenjie had hung back on his waist, his lips twitched, and he looked away, saying, "Brother Hou, could you briefly tell us what happened? We can also enter it into our report."

Hou Wenjie nodded, then looked around at everyone and said, "Before we talk about this, I'd like to ask a question: how many of you have read my book, 'Journey to the West'?"

As Hou Wenjie finished speaking, almost everyone present raised their hands to indicate that they had seen it.

Hou Wenjie nodded. It seemed that the link attached to the "Origin and Flow of Qi" post after he became famous had worked.

What Hou Wenjie didn't know was that after the Bureau of Ghost Stories acknowledged his achievements, the official promotion of his resources had reached an insane level.

In other words, he didn't pay much attention, but his Banana Media Company had already received the maximum support from the local government, with everything going smoothly.

In the past two days, "Journey to the West" has been forcibly pinned to the top of the recommendation list on Fanshu.com and has been featured on CCTV News, where it was named the No.1 best online novel of the new century.

CCTV's comment has caused a stir in the online literature community in the past two days.

Because this "Journey to the West" was something no one had ever heard of before, and it was written in classical Chinese, making it difficult to understand. I really don't understand how such a novel could be ranked number one.

Some self-media outlets have been secretly spreading conspiracy theories.

Then, a new news item caused an uproar among netizens.

CCTV will join forces with several film and television companies to invest 1.4 billion yuan to produce a long-running TV series based on "Journey to the West". "Journey to the West" has already been slated to be the top drama of next year.

This news sparked countless speculations and made more people interested in the novel "Journey to the West," prompting them to visit Fanshu.com to read the novel for free.

This has brought the novel's readership to over ten million, and many book lovers who enjoy drawing have even shared their own depictions of the Monkey King online.

Those that drew well received countless likes.

Aside from browsing the website of the Bureau of Strange Events and information on WeChat, Hou Wenjie was basically offline and naturally knew nothing about these current events.
