Chapter 246
The Third Generation of the Royal Family and Simon the Cowboy of the King's Organiz
Chapter 246 The Royal Family's Three Generations and the King's Organization—Cowboy Simon! (4k)
The fact that Da Dong City is located on the coast means that this city is much more prosperous than the city where Ghost Eye Yang Jian lives.
But this is a corrupt and evil world, an era where life is like a prison.
The supernatural is making a comeback, and vengeful spirits are rampant. The more prosperous the economy and the higher the population density, the greater the need for top-notch leaders.
If someone of Lu Ming's rank were to check the headquarters' files, they would find that the person in charge of Da Dong City is named Wang Chaling.
A few simple sentences of introduction: male, 28 years old, overseas returnee with a master's degree... definitely a tall, rich, and handsome guy.
Everyone who becomes the head of a city has their own unique qualities.
What ordinary people consider a rich, handsome, or powerful person is nothing in the eyes of the city's leaders.
An investigation into Wang Chaling's background reveals that he is far too ordinary compared to other officials, with nothing particularly special about him.
Even his appearance was very ordinary, without any cold or eerie feeling, and he did not look like a ghost tamer who had been corrupted by the supernatural.
It was nighttime, and the sky was dark and gloomy, like a canvas soaked in ink.
The environment was gloomy and oppressive, and whether it was just my imagination or not, the visibility at this coastal dock became even lower after the strange, rusty cruise ship appeared; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"What's going on? Is the weather about to change?"
"This is not a good sign..."
"Please, please, don't let it rain heavily at a time like this. Everyone else is celebrating the Lunar New Year at home, but we still have to be on duty. If it rains heavily again, I'm not going to do this job anymore..."
"You may not want to do it, but you can't really just quit, can you?"
As the two were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded from the darkness behind them.
Upon hearing this, both of them were startled.
At this time, there is no one else on the entire dock, and they have not observed any new docks. Why would footsteps suddenly be heard?
With some doubt in their eyes, the two turned their heads at the same time.
From the shadows behind them emerged a tall, bearded foreigner wearing a cowboy hat.
This foreigner's name is Simon, and he is a king in the King's Organization.
This time, he led the team, piloting this strange, dilapidated cruise ship, and docked at Dadong City on the coast.
Simon's distinctive face appeared and disappeared in the light and shadow, wearing a cynical smile.
Although he was recorded as "Simon" in all the files, in reality, even Simon was an alias.
As a king, he preferred to be called by his code name, Cowboy.
"Who...who are you? This is my last warning to you. Trespassing on the dock without inspection is illegal!"
A staff member quietly grasped the stun gun in the darkness beside him and gave a final warning.
Upon hearing this, Simon grinned and gave a playful smile. Then, he provocatively made a shooting gesture.
"boom!"
"you······"
Before he could utter another word...
An old double-barreled shotgun had been pulled out, its dark muzzle pointed directly at his eyes.
"Sir, sweet dreams."
···········
Dadong City.
Ning'an Building.
This is a building that is 500 meters tall and has more than 100 floors. It is a landmark building in Da Dong City, just like the Pearl Tower in Da Hai City.
The building is not owned by a listed company or a richest person, but by an individual.
This person was Wang Chaling, the person in charge of Dadong City.
At this moment, a grand party is being held inside the Ning'an Building.
Almost all the celebrities of the upper class in Da Dong City gather here, and ordinary wealthy people can't even come into contact with this level of people.
Only those with connections in the paranormal community have the opportunity to be invited here.
In a corner of the gathering, Wang Chaling, the person in charge of Dadong City listed in the documents, received a message and his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Has a foreign organization suddenly attacked Da Dong City?"
"It just so happens that it has to happen at this particular time..."
"The ghostly presence in the old house is spreading. The curse can no longer contain what's inside. The thing I feared most is about to happen."
In stark contrast to the bustling shops on the Ning'an Building side, the streetlights along the street next to the Wang Family Old House were completely out. It wasn't a problem with the wiring or a power outage, but rather due to some supernatural influence, preventing the streetlights near the old house from turning on.
Some people with some standing in the paranormal community were able to find out that the old house affected by the paranormal belonged to the Wang family, but they didn't know what the Wang family's purpose was in keeping such an old house.
In fact, the old house is a prison for ghosts, real vengeful spirits. The clock's curse interferes with the time within the old house, forming a cage to trap the ghosts inside and prevent them from escaping.
During this time, Wang Chaling had been worrying about this matter, and just at this time, Dadong City was attacked by an overseas king organization.
"According to previous intelligence from headquarters, the King Organization has been intimidated by Lu Ming and is unlikely to make any major moves in the short term."
"The fact that they suddenly took action now, and in such an undisguised and extremely blatant way, means there are only two possibilities."
"Either Lu Ming, the head of headquarters, has run into trouble, and the entity that the King Organization fears has temporarily disappeared, so they've become restless again after receiving the news..."
"Either the King's organization has the confidence to take action, and they are confident that they can kill any Ghost Rider at headquarters."
The gathering was still going on inside the Ning'an Building.
No one noticed what Wang Chaling was thinking about.
"Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing the river. Although I am not a ghost tamer, since the King's Organization wants to think that no one in my Great East City is capable... then they should be prepared to come and never return."
Finally, Wang Chaling stood up from his seat.
He was just an ordinary young man, neither a ghost tamer nor a prominent figure in the upper echelons of Da Dong City.
But the aura he exuded at that moment darkened the atmosphere of the entire gathering.
"Contact Liu Mubai and his group to eliminate the king who has entered Dadong City."
···········
the next day.
A bombshell announcement has surfaced on paranormal websites: news of an attack on Da Dong City by members of the King's Organization has spread throughout the paranormal community.
Led by a king and a group of demon tamers, they caught Da Dong City off guard.
If that were all, it wouldn't have generated such a high level of discussion.
To everyone's surprise, Wang Chaling, the head of Da Dong City, reacted immediately, ordering his subordinates to form a Ghost Tamer Squad to counterattack.
One night later, the entire Ghost Tamer squad was wiped out; not a single member survived.
"Wang Chaling... I've never heard of this name before. Why would such an incompetent person be put in charge of such an important place as Dadong City?"
"As far as I know, this Wang Chaling is no ordinary ghost tamer. He is very powerful and mysterious. He reveals very little information about himself, but the only thing that is certain is that he is definitely not a fool."
"Then why was the entire Ghost Rider team wiped out by the King's Organization? Back then, when Ghost Bridegroom Lu Ming made his move, he directly repelled the entire King's Organization, making them hesitant to make any rash moves for quite some time."
"Back then was then, and now is now. I suspect... the King's Organization, having been intimidated for so long, must have a certain degree of confidence to make a move again..."
"In this day and age, supernatural events are emerging one after another, and all sorts of strange things are happening frequently. Beset by internal and external troubles, I'm afraid we can only ask Ghost Bridegroom Lu Ming to take action again. Without this captain in charge, the situation in China probably cannot be stabilized."
As soon as the post was published, someone immediately replied: "I heard that the ghost groom Lu Ming's side isn't very close to headquarters, and they even had conflicts before. Not to mention, Lu Ming is just a ghost tamer, not an omnipotent god. If the situation is already hopeless, even if we bring him here, it will be difficult to change anything..."
Upon hearing this, no one knew what to say.
Although it sounds unpleasant, it's probably the truth.
Just as the group of ghost tamers were having a heated discussion, an account with the ID "Master Ye from Dahai City" suddenly spoke up.
"What is a king? Powerful enemies will be slain, fortified armor will be crushed! Even if the king leads his entire demon realm to invade, we can still fight back with all our might... Heh heh..."
"By the way, I happen to be going to Da Dong City in the next few days. Is there anyone who dares to challenge me to a duel?"
The first reaction of everyone upon seeing these words was that the person who posted them was a madman, so severely affected by the supernatural that he had lost his mind, so no one paid any attention to it.
But when they saw the poster's ID, they immediately understood and everything made sense.
But still, no one paid any attention to him.
After all, no one wanted to provoke Ye Zhen from Dahai City. This guy was not only a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), but more importantly, he was terrifyingly strong, and no one dared to have any objections to him.
···········
Lu Ming, who had just found Sun Rui and Li Yang and was planning to re-infiltrate the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office, also learned of the supernatural attack that Da Dong City had suffered.
He frowned slightly, and the first thought that came to mind was the same as Wang Chaling's.
The King's Organization members aren't fools. After such a long period of silence, their sudden attack definitely indicates a major upheaval within the organization.
The Ark Project, which had been planned in advance, was not canceled. Moreover, it seems that the king, who led the invasion of Da Dong City, played the role of firing the first shot.
"I don't know who gave these people their confidence... But it's better this way. It's easier for these kings to invade together than for them to be scattered abroad and for me to find them one by one later."
Regardless of the changes that have occurred within the King's Organization, in Lu Ming's view now, there is not much difference.
Now, Lu Ming not only doesn't have to worry about the resurgence of his own vengeful spirit, but the level of terror he faces has also reached a truly terrifying level.
The basic puzzle of the Ghost Bride has been largely completed, and the level of terror on Bai Sha's side has increased dramatically compared to before.
Not to mention the Blood Umbrella, a supernatural weapon, and the help of Tomie.
"Now, my spiritual power has completed its second transformation, and this transformation has had an even more intense impact on me than the first one... I have even developed a true primordial spirit."
"To other ghost tamers, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm a force to be reckoned with."
Lu Ming's mind raced with thoughts, and he quickly made up his mind.
After he finished processing the envelopes on the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office, he went to deal with the King of Da Dong City on the way.
He didn't expect Wang Chaling of Dadong City to be able to solve this mess on his own.
It's not that this guy isn't strong.
Rather, Wang Chaling had some flaws in his personality.
The first generation of the Wang family possesses the ability to dismember other vengeful spirits, suppress supernatural phenomena, disassemble puzzle pieces, and reboot themselves.
The second generation of the Wang family can be used for self-defense and to ward off supernatural attacks.
The two vengeful spirits of Wang Sandai are that one can restore itself and the other can preserve its consciousness.
All these capabilities combined make it fair to call it a T0.
Wang Chaling was completely unaware that the Wang family's power was not a curse, but rather the love his ancestors had for him. Without the protection of supernatural power, he would not have been able to survive in this supernatural era.
Wang Chaling: "If my son is born with six vengeful ghosts by his side, do you think he would be happy? It's the same generation after generation, and I hate that feeling... If my descendants are to continue to suffer like this, then I would rather start with me and make this curse disappear completely."
Wang Ping: "Has the old man gone stupid from reading too much? He was born with six vengeful ghosts by his side, a perfect template for a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel. How could I not be happy?"
In short, if Lu Ming were to summarize Wang Chaling, it would only take eight words.
They are overly cautious but lack decisiveness.
···········
Dahan City.
Li Yang looked at Lu Ming and asked, "Captain, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "It's nothing. After we finish dealing with the Ghost Post Office this time, you and I will go to Da Dong City."
"Dadong City...?"
Sun Rui, who was standing to the side, was taken aback upon hearing this.
The news of the King's organization's invasion of Da Dong City has been making headlines these past few days, and as the person in charge of Da Han City, he has naturally heard about it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming, a ghost tamer, would take the initiative to help.
Dadong City is not Lu Ming's territory, and has absolutely no connection with him.
Even though Lu Ming is the head of the headquarters, he is just a figurehead. Even if he does nothing, no one will say anything.
"Let's go into the post office."
This time, the winding path did not appear before Lu Ming, but Lu Ming led the two to Jianshe Road in Dahan City and used the fifth layer of ghost domain to break the boundary between the supernatural and reality.
The flashing neon sign of the Ghost Post Office appeared not far away.
As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
When Lu Ming went up to the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office, he suddenly discovered that a messenger on the fifth floor had already received the red envelope.
This is the last letter from the Ghost Post Office.
