Chapter 423 Everyone begged him to stay alive!
The murderous proposal of the Red Snake Ghost King was immediately approved by the White-Faced Ghost King: "Yes, what the Red Snake Ghost King said is right. This human named Wu Tong is too threatening to us ghosts. Fortunately, I am the one facing him this time. If it were you, if you didn't have the ability to split your body like me, I'm afraid you would have offered your heads to others. Now you are all willing to serve Wu Tong and do your best for him."
Although the White-Faced Ghost King's words seemed to be a way of pulling them down and bragging about his ability to split himself, they thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, they themselves were not sure that they could be immune to Wu Tong's "charm" that could counter ghosts.
Are you questioning whether the words of the White-Faced Ghost King are false?
If there had not been the three previous examples of the Ghost Kings within their reach, and there had only been the White-Faced Ghost King, with no evidence, they would indeed have been suspicious. But three Ghost Kings had already been involved, and even if the White-Faced Ghost King said that Wu Tong could subdue the Ghost Kings with just one encounter, they would have to believe it. They had no choice but to believe it.
Although the White-Faced Ghost King's words were a bit ridiculous, they made sense if you thought about it carefully. Rather than believing that Wu Tong was powerful enough to capture three ghost kings alive in an instant, they would rather believe that Wu Tong had used some strange means to give himself the "charm" that could specifically defeat ghosts, and that the three ghost kings were killed silently because they simply did not resist.
Now that they have learned from the White-Faced Ghost King how Wu Tong was able to subdue the three ghost kings, they are not so afraid of Wu Tong anymore.
After all, the unknown is the most frightening, and after knowing Wu Tong's methods, they can find ways to restrain Wu Tong and get rid of Wu Tong.
However, those who should be afraid of Wu Tong still have to be afraid of him. None of the ghost kings want to meet Wu Tong face to face, and then they would be like being under a spell and would have to follow Wu Tong and become his ghost slave.
As a result, many people responded to the proposal of the Red Snake Ghost King.
"What the Red Snake Ghost King said makes sense. We must eliminate Wu Tong. Otherwise, who can guarantee that I won't be the next victim?"
"Then the question is how to eliminate Wu Tong? Even the Ghost King couldn't resist his ability and took the initiative to surrender. Sending our ghosts to deal with him will only give Wu Tong a chance to escape."
"Hehe, Wu Tong's ability should only be useful against ghosts and monsters, not humans, right?"
The pale face of the White-Faced Ghost King showed no emotion at all. He said with a smile, "Yes, it is definitely useless to humans. Otherwise, the Special Office would have been in Wu Tong's hands, right?"
"It's good that he is useless to humans. We can send humans to deal with him. That kid is so young, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to defend against a cold sword stabbing from behind."
"That makes sense! But ordinary people can't do anything to Wu Tong. Only a ghost exorcist can kill him when he's off guard. It's definitely not going to work for us to arrange manpower now. It's too late. We can only use the people we've deployed before."
The White-Faced Ghost King said with a smile, "To be on the safe side, you should all arrange for your people to take action. We have placed people in the Special Office just to be used in times of crisis like this, right?"
"What the White-Faced Ghost King said makes sense. We must join forces this time."
"It's not easy for us to place people in the Special Office. If we use up all of them this time, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? As long as the exorcists from the Special Office are still planning to continue to control ghosts and monsters to gain strength, we can always send in reinforcements."
"That's true, let's move."
The ghost kings made a decision quickly. This was different from their previous meeting when they proposed to join forces to deal with Wu Tong. Before, they had to go into battle themselves, and if they died, they would really die.
This time they joined forces to send the human spies controlled by their subordinates to deal with Wu Tong. They didn't care whether those spies lived or died. If they died, they died. It wasn't them who would die. At worst, they could just recruit some more spies to work for them later.
So the ghost kings loosened their grip very quickly.
The White-Faced Ghost King volunteered to take charge of this matter, saying that he had a way to resist Wu Tong's charm.
The other ghost kings were also secretly glad that they didn't need to show up. After all, who knew if they would accidentally meet Wu Tong while worrying about this matter? They would rather hide until Wu Tong is assassinated and then come out.
The White-Faced Ghost King has the ability to split himself into two bodies. Even if it doesn't volunteer, they will force the White-Faced Ghost King to come forward.
Now that the White-Faced Ghost King is willing to take the initiative to handle the matter, it saves them a lot of trouble.
Since the White-Faced Ghost King is to be the executor, the list of traitors under their control will naturally be handed over to the White-Faced Ghost King.
As soon as the soul clone of the White-Faced Ghost King received the list, its original body at Wu Tong immediately synchronized a copy of the list and handed it to its master.
Wu Tong was in charge of the list, so naturally he couldn't help but want to take a look at it, and he was shocked when he saw it.
There are indeed quite a few traitors in the Special Office, and some of them are veteran figures when the Special Office was first established. They are almost all familiar figures to Wu Tong.
This shocked Wu Tong: "Are all these people traitors controlled and bribed by the Ghost King?"
Wu Tong couldn't believe it. So many people actually betrayed the human camp?
Si Yuan was sitting opposite Wu Tong. After seeing his expression, he reached out and took the list from Wu Tong. After glancing at it, he said, "The list should be true, but not everyone has betrayed the human camp. Some people may not even know that they are traitors."
Wu Tong looked puzzled: "Dad, what's going on?"
Si Yuan explained: "They are all ghost exorcists, and the ghost exorcists used to control ghosts by force. The ghosts were not truly subservient to them, but were just sleeping in their bodies, giving them the opportunity to borrow the ghosts' abilities. If a ghost king orders his ghosts to pretend to be defeated and asleep by the ghost exorcists, and to be controlled, and usually pretend to be asleep to lend their power to the ghost exorcists, they are actually secretly eroding the ghost exorcists' bodies, then it is possible to affect the ghost exorcists' minds and control their bodies."
Before the methods of coexisting with ghosts and enslaving ghosts appeared in the world, the method of controlling ghosts had great side effects and consequences, and also gave ghosts many opportunities to make trouble.
Therefore, Si Yuan judged that perhaps some of the veterans of these special offices found that it was impossible for the human camp to defeat the ghost camp during the battle with the ghosts, so in order to seek a way out, they defected to the ghosts and became traitors; but more people definitely did not betray the human camp, but the ghosts they controlled might have been given to them intentionally by the Ghost King to control, and those ghosts were pretending to be asleep in their bodies, ready to obey the Ghost King's orders and stab them in the back at any time.
The exorcist can only judge whether the ghost in his body is in a dormant or revived state by whether he can borrow the power of the ghost and whether the ghost retaliates against him.
If a ghost deliberately and insidiously pretends to be asleep and actively lends its power to the exorcist, and does not retaliate against the exorcist, but just remains dormant, the exorcist will not be able to detect it.
However, the ghost exorcists cannot detect this. Now that they have this list, they just need to investigate the ghost exorcists on the list and screen out the traitors who consciously and voluntarily defect to the ghost camp. As for the remaining unaware ghost exorcists, they can completely help them forcibly enslave the ghosts in their bodies.
Si Yuan didn't care whether he was in the human camp or the ghost camp, but since Wu Tong and other family members were in the human camp, he would naturally choose the human camp and had to act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly when dealing with the ghost camp.
So there came this good show where the White-Faced Ghost King fooled the other ghost kings.
Who would have thought that the White-Faced Ghost King, who had the ability to clone himself, was subdued by Wu Tong in almost just one encounter? To be precise, he was captured alive and then subdued by Si Yuan.
After surrendering, the White-Faced Ghost King knelt very swiftly. In order to surpass the three predecessors including the Zhichi Ghost King, he took the initiative to betray the other ghost kings who had held meetings with him, and came up with one ingenious idea after another, saying that he was willing to be a guide and help Wu Tong capture the remaining ghost kings.
With the help of the White-Faced Ghost King's ideas, Si Yuan came up with a way to clean up the spies in the ghost camp in the Special Office.
According to the original owner's memory, the original owner also placed spies in the human camp, so how could the other ghost kings not do the same?
Now that Si Yuan has joined the human camp, he naturally has to consider the interests of humans.
Wu Tong has now officially joined the Special Office. His ability to enslave the Ghost King will surely be feared by other Ghost Kings. As soon as they get the chance, they will definitely be the first to attack Wu Tong.
Even if Si Yuan is confident that he can protect Wu Tong, he still has to eliminate all hidden dangers around Wu Tong.
For example, find out all the traitors and get rid of them, to ensure that Wu Tong is absolutely safe in the Special Office.
The White-Faced Ghost King followed Si Yuan's instructions and fooled the ghost kings into handing over the list of traitors.
With this list, Si Yuan handed it over to the director and deputy director of the Special Office, Ye Tingting, who were absolutely trustworthy.
Si Yuan handed the list to the two of them and explained how the list came about.
The head of the Special Office and Ye Tingting both looked unhappy. After all, the people on the list were all veterans who had joined the Special Office when it was first established, as well as meritorious people who held middle and senior management positions. They did not expect that they would all choose to betray humanity.
This really hurts them.
Si Yuan explained to them what he had explained to Wu Tong before. There is no need to feel sad so early. The fact that these people are treacherous does not mean they are real treacherous people. Some ghost exorcists are loyal to the Special Office, but the ghosts they control in their bodies are undercover agents sent by the Ghost King.
The director of the Special Office and Ye Tingting finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, not all of these people were traitors.
