The malicious-looking man thought for a moment, then came to an underground secret chamber. There was a memorial tablet, and a few blurred words were written on it.
He respectfully took out an incense stick from the table, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the tablet.
After a while, the smoke lingered, and a young man's head appeared.
"Gui Qi, you've made progress already?"
The malicious-looking man kowtowed when he saw the young man's head.
"Master, I had a bad start in Qi City. When I was recruiting people, my only spirit servant was injured by someone. I'm afraid it will hinder your plans. Please punish me, Master."
When the young man heard this, he did not look angry. Instead, he looked interested.
"Oh, your spirit servant is quite talented, and has a life-saving clone. Normal awakened ones are no match for it. Did you provoke the people from the Truth Department?"
The malicious-looking man quickly shook his head, "I wouldn't dare disobey Master's orders. That spirit servant acted on her own and had a conflict with the person I wanted to recruit."
"Tell me the details."
The malicious-looking man immediately told him the details.
When the young man heard the details, he did not blame him. Instead, he was overjoyed, "I didn't expect Qi City to be such a simple place. Among the awakened ones, there's such a righteous and hot-blooded person. He should join me and receive my inheritance."
"You're right, Master. I thought so too. That's why I wanted to recruit him as soon as I found a place to stay. I didn't know that my spirit servant had other intentions. She had a conflict with that person for the sake of the three brothers. That's why I was in a dilemma."
"Hmm, it's not your fault. These ghosts are all cunning, stubborn, and unreasonable. It's not easy to control them. That's why I want to unify the underground world of ghosts and spirits and restrain them. I don't want them to come out and do evil and harm people when the situation changes in the future. "
When the malicious-looking man heard this, he immediately kowtowed again, "Master's heart is for the common people. You're the reincarnation of the Buddha. I can only look up to you."
"Haha, Gui Qi's mouth is the sweetest." The youth seemed to enjoy it. Afterwards, a medicinal pill fell out of the smoke. The sinister-looking man was delighted, but he didn't move.
The young man was even more satisfied. "Take this Ghost King Pill to your ghost servant. You have to be honest with that person. Remember these four words, just and honorable. As a person who exorcises ghosts, I must first maintain a righteous attitude. Naturally, I will be successful in every endeavor. Only when I attain the Dao will I be able to help more. "
"I will remember Master's teachings," the sinister-looking man nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, let's not talk for too long. The people from the Truth Department are activating the Inescapable Net. If we talk for too long, we'll be easily discovered by them. You have to be more careful in everything you do. Don't be greedy for small gains and forget about the greater good." With that, the portrait of the young man disappeared, and the smoke slowly dissipated.
When the smoke dissipated, Gui Qi immediately picked up the Ghost King Pill and stood up.
He smiled sinisterly and muttered to himself, "Just and honorable, caring for the common people? What a joke. If you don't act for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. Fine, I'll temporarily coax you, the Buddha. In the future, who knows who'll be the master … "
"But this Bodhisattva really has a lot of benefits. I thought I'd have to sacrifice my heart's blood to cure that ghost servant again. Forget it, since that Vigilante A isn't easy to deal with, I'll find a sugar daddy first. "
As he said this, he looked at the narrow and damp basement and furrowed his brows. 'If I had such power, why would I hide in here every day? Why can't I take the villa, the cars, the beauties, and the treasures openly? Hmph! '
…
In the System Space, Fang Ning looked at the hammer in the blacksmith's forge. It was hammering on the oddly-shaped Celestial Weapon. However, he wasn't afraid. He knew that this wasn't a ghost, but Sir System's hard work. The System couldn't show itself, and it probably didn't have a physical body. However, it could use the things in the System Space however it wanted.
After watching for a while, he got bored. However, he couldn't go back to playing games and reading novels in front of Sir System, so he went online to check the latest news, from domestic to foreign.
Alright, he had been playing too much these past two months. The outside world had really changed drastically.
"Ghosts in the daytime? Is it optical misdirection, or is it real? "
The title sounded like all kinds of strange theories from the past. After reading a little more, it turned out that there had been a series of ghost attacks in the South. It wasn't until recently that someone heard an explosion in the daytime that things slowly calmed down.
Under the new situation, the country couldn't get any better, and the foreign countries were even more chaotic.
"Japan has been covered in fog for three days now. Ports are closed, airports are out of service, and the losses are incalculable. Our country's import and export trade is likely to be severely affected. The relevant departments have jointly issued a red warning, reminding the citizens not to go to Japan in the near future. "
"A witch organization has appeared in the Northern Lu Country. The organization's leader has been arrested by the country's Special Operations Department because he falsely claimed that the end of the world is coming …"
These situations made Fang Ning feel annoyed. He hated chaos in the world the most, because it would affect how long he could stay at home.
Fortunately, Qi City was still relatively peaceful, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Of course, this must have had something to do with Sir System that seized him. Some of the potential Mutants who were restless had been taken care of by the System early on, and were picked up by the Special Affairs Department for further education.
Thinking about this, Fang Ning felt that being a long-term otaku was pretty good. There was food and entertainment, he didn't have to worry about anything, and he didn't attract any attention. It had been a long time, and no one had come looking for him.
He didn't know that he was not attracting attention at all. He had already become a role model among the Awakened, and there were only a few Awakened Ones in Qi City who didn't know him …
…
Qi City's Special Affairs Department Headquarters, Re-education Base.
"Look at Comrade Fang Ning. Don't think that he's an Awakened One. The Special Affairs Department had to brainwash him. Those who obey us will prosper, and those who oppose us will perish. Those are all rumors, and they all have ulterior motives. "Early in the morning, Old Man Zhang was giving a lesson (brainwashing) to a group of people who had awakened their abilities.
Lu Er looked at the person in front of him and curled his lips in disdain. 'A coward who stays at home all day long. If you don't brainwash him, he might just stay at home for the rest of his life. Maybe he'll discover a new world after the brainwashing …'
"He used his abilities to get rich peacefully. Did we, the Special Affairs Department, go and shear his wool? No. He's obediently staying at home. No, he's working remotely at home. Did we force him to re-educate him? Not at all. Every single one of you who came here must reflect on your own actions! Some of them were caught red-handed, some of them were discovered by us during the preparatory period of their crimes, and some of them even repeatedly committed crimes and resisted the law. They thought that they could run fast and no one could catch up with them. They didn't want to walk on the bright road, but they chose to be petty thieves.
Lu Er had a bad feeling when he said this, and sure enough, Old Man Zhang called him up.
"Lu Er, stand up and tell everyone about your mistakes and your understanding …"
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have used the ability to enhance my speed for peaceful purposes. I should have joined the provincial sports team and helped the country develop the track and field industry to win the Olympic gold medal. But I didn't think about making progress and used it to steal. I was willing to be a despicable person. After Principal Zhang's enlightenment, I've been enlightened. I've changed beyond recognition. No, no, I've changed. I'll be a good person from now on, and complete all my homework seriously. No, I'll fight to protect the human world for the rest of my life. "
Lu Er wiped the corner of his eyes and stood up as he spoke.
In front of everyone, he put on a serious face, but in his heart, he thought, 'Why would I want to be an athlete? I have to train hard every day, and I still have to be disciplined. I don't want to be famous.' As for money, if it weren't for Vigilante A's betrayal, someone in the Hummingbird Tribe would've bought the pill for 30 million. Even the once famous flying man in our country would only earn a few hundred million a year at most. What I did was just a night's labor.
"Hmm, it's good that you have this understanding. But recently, the international sports organization is undergoing a reform, and you missed the previous wave of opportunities. Now they're setting up a new sports program, one that only the awakened can participate in. They're preparing to separate the sports that ordinary people and awakened can participate in. You have to train hard, and strive to win glory for our country in the awakened sports competition. You have to completely break the history of us yellow people not being able to outrun the black people. I was wrong just now. Students, please don't remember what I said, it should be the black people. "
"Yes, yes, Principal Zhang is right. I'll definitely train hard and win glory for our country in the future," Lu Er said reluctantly. He had only been here for a few days, but he already knew Old Man Zhang's temper. There were three parts to his education: little dark room, electrotherapy, and strong brainwashing. Whoever dared to go against him would have to suffer the full set. If they were obedient, the set would be halved, and if they performed well, the set would be waived.
