Chapter 26 Voodoo
Although he had met Yan Jing through street cameras before, when it came time to meet face to face, Wu Senyan looked at the bald man across the street and was somewhat surprised.
It's not a good habit to judge people by their appearance, but the appearance of the person in front of me...
No need to change clothes, just stop at any murder scene and become the first suspect!
"Ghosts are also afraid of evil people."
Perhaps noticing Wu Senyan's appraising gaze, Yan Jing stepped forward and said a few words before extending his hand to introduce himself.
"Luo Jia, a disciple of the Five Dynasties of Shangqing Dao."
"Ahem~ Wu Senyan, captain of the Special Affairs Group A, Ninth Section. On behalf of the Special Affairs Bureau, I would like to thank you for your trust in us. We have already begun preparations for your request. No matter what the final outcome of this incident is, we will satisfy it."
"I only take what I deserve."
Yan Jing did not accept the goodwill from Wu Senyan or the Special Affairs Bureau, and just replied in a deep voice.
What he wants is a cooperative relationship, not becoming a vassal of the other party.
If you have to rely on others' charity to achieve your goals, you might as well get out of here as soon as possible.
"There are only about three hours left before nightfall. If we want to prevent the evil ghost from committing another crime, we must first find its hiding place. We don't have much time left. I have already asked people to visit various districts. I believe it will be here soon.
There will be results.”
Understanding the implication of Yan Jing's words, Wu Senyan chose to bring the topic back on track. At the same time, he wrote down the Shangqing Dao mentioned by Yan Jing, thinking that the analysis of the bureau personnel was indeed correct. The person in front of him was not acting alone.
There is an organization behind him.
Shangqing Taoism sounds like a Taoist sect?
"I need to check the victim's body to confirm something. The evil effects of evil demons will be reflected on the body."
Noticing the thoughts in Wu Senyan's eyes, Yan Jing knew what he was thinking and pretended not to see it.
The fact that he can understand so much about evil ghosts is really due to the Shangqing Dao.
It's just that they are all in another world, so it shouldn't be easy for the Special Affairs Bureau to find them.
Of course, the notes written based on the experience and judgment of the Shangqing Taoists are only on paper after all. Yan Jing needs to see the corpse with his own eyes to judge the condition of the victim and then make a response.
"Currently, all corpses are stored in the autopsy department under the Special Affairs Bureau. I will take you there."
Wu Senyan made up his mind to learn more about the case from Yan Jing, so he took the initiative to act as the driver, and even refused to accompany his subordinates for this reason. He did not want to burden the latter.
A one-to-one environment is obviously easier for people to open up the conversation.
"In fact, the Special Affairs Bureau has transferred Ember Apostles from other cities in the past few days who can communicate with ghosts. You should be able to see them later. Maybe new clues have been found there."
"You have many Ember Apostles under your command?"
Yan Jing was somewhat curious about this matter. He wanted to know what the current number of Ember Apostles had reached.
"At present, the official has indeed recruited many Ember Apostles, but these people are scattered to the special affairs bureau branches and other departments in major cities. Just like this time, if we want to investigate the blood-clothed soul-seeking case, we have to start from
Transfer people elsewhere.”
Wu Senyan did not object to chatting with Yan Jing about the Special Affairs Bureau, which meant that the latter was interested in the Special Affairs Bureau.
If you don't say a word after getting in the car and just focus on investigating the case, there will be no way to initiate subsequent solicitations.
"The same to you?"
Yan Jing looked at Wu Senyan and asked.
"Yes, the captains of the ninth special field team are all Ember Apostles. I suddenly received the Torch message half a month ago, and barely managed to gain some abilities after a narrow escape."
Unintentionally showing off the strength of Special Affairs Nine, Wu Senyan raised his right hand, a bear-shaped mark appeared in the center of the back of his hand, and then asked,
"As a person with a certain level of strength, you should be more comfortable becoming an Ember Apostle?"
"Oh, the world of the Torch Incident becomes stronger when it comes to strength. Every adventure is a gamble on life. It's nothing more than survival of the fittest."
Yan Jing knew that his current status in Wu Senyan's eyes should be that of a senior Ember Apostle, so his words should naturally match his personality.
"Yes, the mortality rate of the Ember Apostles is astonishingly high, especially in otherworldly events. Often the people we spend our efforts cultivating will suddenly die due to an otherworldly event before they have time to become strong... Many seedlings are
Those who grew up in peaceful times are simply unable to adapt to the bloody battlefields of otherworldly events!"
Perhaps thinking of something, Wu Senyan sighed.
The Torch's real-life mission is not difficult in the eyes of the Special Affairs Bureau. Even if they cannot provide direct help, they can indirectly reduce the difficulty of the incident in other aspects, such as intelligence, logistics and other work.
Even if you don't get a high rating, there is no problem in ensuring your survival.
But everything has a price.
Every otherworldly event is an all-round test of the Ember Apostle's personal abilities.
It follows the cruelest rules.
Survival of the fittest!
Because of this, the Special Affairs Bureau attaches great importance to senior Ember Apostles among the people and urgently needs them to enhance the strength of the Special Affairs Bureau.
It's just that these people are often very independent and have personal plans. Recruiting them cannot be done with just a few empty words.
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the entrance of a "nature" research institute.
It's said to be a research institute, but it's actually just a cover sign.
According to Wu Senyan, in order to cope with the increasingly changing world, the Special Affairs Bureau has received strong support from the national level, and it is natural for various departments to be established one after another.
It's just that for now we have to maintain a semblance of stability.
Wu Senyan said hello in advance on the way here, and the two of them went straight to the morgue inside the institute without encountering any obstacles.
"We're here, right inside...that person should be the Ember Apostle who communicates with ghosts."
As soon as they walked to the door, they saw through the glass window on the door the corpses neatly arranged on several operating tables, and standing among the corpses, holding a yellowed human hand, muttering something.
Spell youth.
Standing next to him was a woman with an excellent figure in an ol' suit, and the young man's free hand was swimming back and forth in her clothes, with a weird and sick smile on his face.
Yan Jing looked at Wu Senyan with surprise.
Touching the body with one hand, touching the woman with the other...
Are you having so much fun?
"Well, the data shows that his first otherworldly incident seemed to involve Voodoo. He can use the props in his hands to communicate with the dead and obtain information from their mouths. As for his other hand...Woodoo
The teachings of the Poison Cult seem very strange."
Recalling the information he had seen before, Wu Senyan looked at the situation in the room with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
As he was talking, the lights above his head flickered, and the crackling sound of electricity came intermittently.
In the flickering lights, the corpse on the operating table suddenly began to tremble violently.
The white cloth covering the body was shaken off, revealing half of the body that was dry and turning to sand. However, this state only lasted for a few seconds before calmness returned, and the body inside lay back down again.
Failed?
I saw the young man inside punching the operating table and swearing twice. Suddenly he seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head and looked at the two people outside the door. He immediately pushed the woman beside him away and ran to the door and frowned.
Brow shouted,
"Didn't I tell you to clear the place and don't bother me...I said why I couldn't shout back their souls. It turned out that there were two pigs at the door who couldn't understand human speech!"
After the words fell, Wu Senyan frowned and was about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the person next to him took a step forward.
Bang!
There was just a muffled sound, and the young man flew backwards and hit the operating table behind him. After bouncing back, he fell to his knees directly because of his unsteady footing.
The young man who felt humiliated blushed deeply. He raised his head and looked ferocious to say something, but saw a dark red bead in front of his eyes. As soon as his mental power spread out, it touched a ball of extremely cold energy.
Stimulated by external spiritual power, the soul orb suddenly bloomed with bloody light.
Chapter completed!
