Chapter 138: Code 003

"Go ahead with your suggestion," Liu Xuewen was wary of the little girl as well, but as the deputy minister, he still had to maintain a certain image and speak in a calm tone.

"Zhang Haoran, can he bring inanimate objects in and out of the Ghost Domain? Does a seal count as an inanimate object?"

The little girl’s question left everyone puzzled. Many people didn’t actually know much about Zhang Haoran, let alone this particular characteristic.

There were even some people who only learned Zhang Haoran’s name today.

The female expert sighed as she touched her forehead. She was the one who told the little girl about this, but it was supposed to be a top-secret research finding.

If they wanted to bring it up and discuss it openly in a meeting, they would need to go through an approval process.

When someone raised this question, an expert named Liu from the research institute provided an answer. He was a tall and thin man who appeared cold and serious, dressed in a white coat.

"A seal is considered an inanimate object, but there’s a problem called ‘Paranormal Rejection.’"

"High-level Ghost Domains naturally reject lower-level seals from entering, just like they reject other ghosts from coming into the Ghost Domain."

"So if we want to carry out your proposal, it seems that we would have to have Zhang Haoran bring a level-zero seal for it to be possible."

After hearing Expert Liu’s answer, many people immediately started thinking about its feasibility.

This direction seems like it could really become a breakthrough.

But the problem is, Zhang Haoran cannot use the seal himself. Once he goes in, he can only give it to the normal people or the Ghost Master inside.

But now, no one knows what the situation is inside Luohe City. What if all the people have already died when Zhang Haoran goes in? Will this Level 0 seal be like throwing a meat bun to a dog, never to return?

This is not an impossible thing, after all, Black Sun has a record of wiping out a small European country.

Even if people haven’t died out so quickly and are still struggling to survive, can the survivors really stand up against Black Sun with just one Level 0 seal?

Therefore, after a simple thinking process, many people raised objections and listed reasons, believing that the risks are too great.

After all, even Research Institute No. 21 doesn’t have many Level 0 seals in total.

In fact, many people only know that they exist, but how many are there? What are their names? What are their functions? They have no idea about any of that.

Chen Yehua thought for a moment and said, "Let’s give it a try, Chu Jiang should still be alive."

Even though Chen Yehua didn’t believe that Chu Jiang could solve the Black Sun, he also didn’t think that Chu Jiang would easily give up. After all, he was someone who had survived against Slender Man.

Amidst the discussions, Liu Xuewen hesitated. If he wanted to play it safe, he should reject this proposal.

However, Liu Xuewen also knew that Chu Jiang was under a lot of pressure in this matter. This made it difficult for Liu Xuewen to decide whether to place his hopes on this outstanding young man or not.

Just then, someone raised a new question, "Can we ask Mr. Xu for help?"

This question once again brought silence to the meeting room. Not everyone knew the truth, but many people seemed to know that Mr. Xu was unlikely to easily intervene.

Liu Xuewen quickly rejected this idea, "Now is not the time for him to step in. Don’t think that you can just seek his help whenever something goes wrong."

Just as someone was about to bring up the matter of the Level Zero Seal, the dean spoke again, "Hold on everyone, Zhang Haoran is right next to me. He said he wants to go, so let him. Let him take Number 003 with him."

This statement greatly surprised many people.

One unexpected thing happened: Zhang Haoran was actually attending the meeting all along, right beside the dean. He was just silently listening without saying anything.

Another surprising thing is that the dean was acting so recklessly. You should know that it carries a great risk. Does that cunning old fox have some special confidence?

At the same time, this sentence reveals a key piece of information.

Each item in the research institute’s storage is assigned a number. The first digit for a Level 3 sealed object is 3, Level 2 is 2, Level 1 is 1, and Level 0 is 0.

Since there’s a 003, there must be a 002 and 001 before it, meaning that Research Institute No. 21 has at least three Level 0 sealed objects.

Although this level of sealed object usually has terrifying negative effects, its potential is also extremely frightening. Many Ghost Masters even dream of obtaining an item like this.

From this, we can see how abundant the resources of the research institute are. It’s even possible that the headquarters has more than just three Level 0 sealed objects.

Otherwise, how could the dean be so generous?

There won’t be many topics left to discuss next, after all, it’s everyone’s "first time" facing an S-class paranormal event, and the number of solutions they can come up with is limited.

Only relying on the people mentioned above, they went to Luohe City to make the first attempt before saying anything else.

———————–

At the same time, news of an S-class paranormal event outbreak also spread overseas.

After all, this is much more significant than what’s happening in Russia, and it’s an S-class ghost that has already appeared once. The Ghost Masters abroad can’t help but pay attention.

Official organizations from various countries are observing the situation in Luohe City through satellite and video broadcasts. Even organizations with branches in Kyushu have sent people to the surrounding area of Luohe City.

In a small church in the misty city of England.

A mysterious tall woman dressed in a black robe, with a hood over her head, is standing in front of a crucifix. She clasps her hands together, bows her head slightly, as if silently praying for something.

Behind her are a man and a woman, both wearing clothing of the upper class. They appear to have come to the church to pray.

But in reality, the whispered conversation between these two people has nothing to do with prayer. They are reporting on the S-class event that happened in Luohe City in Kyushu.

After listening to the mysterious woman, she simply nodded and didn’t say anything.

When the two followers saw this action, they also nodded gently; then they maintained their respect for the former and slowly exited the church, closing the door as they went.

After everything quieted down, only half of the fair face of the woman, which could be clearly seen, showed a slight smile.

She whispered to herself, "The opportunity has come, my Lord, indeed everything happens as you predicted."

"We devoutly listen to your whispers, your holy words guide us forward; may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…"

The woman’s voice was slightly hoarse, magnetic, and filled with a seductive temptation.

After finishing the prayer, the mysterious woman raised her right hand and there was an inexplicable flyer in her hand, with the words "Holy Word Religion" at the top.

There is something strange about this flyer, it seems like it’s not intended for local evangelism. Because it uses characters from the Nine Provinces mixed with English from the British mainland, it looks a bit out of place…
