Chapter 301: Worsening Global Situation

Returning to the shore, Chu Jiang didn’t expect that this time when he went down the river, he didn’t actually confront the River God, but instead reached an agreement in a relatively gentle way.

Of course, this also has to do with Wang Lei still maintaining his own rationality. If the other party has already completely turned into a ghost, then there is no need for negotiation. Only by going through a battle can it be settled.

For Chu Jiang, this is a relatively good outcome. In the current increasingly worsening global situation, having a strong teammate is more useful than having a sealed ghost.

As for whether Chu Jiang is really as powerful as he claims, it’s not that exaggerated for the River God to easily kill him if desired.

If he were to act immediately at this stage, it can be said that there is a chance, but it also comes with some risks.

After all, the true horror of the River God has not been revealed yet. Dealing with such a powerful and formidable ghost with unknown trump cards requires extreme caution.

Of course, on the surface, Chu Jiang must have this confidence and assurance in order to intimidate the other party, regardless of whether Wang Lei actually has this thought in his mind.

Moreover, as long as time continues to pass, Chu Jiang will become stronger and stronger, then it truly becomes: The power to determine life and death, in my hands.

……

Standing in front of the River God’s temple, Chu Jiang called Jing Ruoxue and told her she could come back.

Jing Ruoxue naturally rushed back and was relieved to see Chu Jiang safe and sound.

As Chu Jiang recounted what had happened, he led the way to the guesthouse.

They had already booked a room here, so they could just go over there and sleep.

……

Over the next three days, Chu Jiang stayed in Nangao Village, witnessing the changes that took place there.

Following instructions, Wang Lei first consulted the county records, then discussed with Chu Jiang, and finally came up with a comprehensive theory of missionary work, mainly connecting himself with the River God.

And Wang Lei made the villagers accept this idea first, and then the villagers unconsciously guided others.

It is worth mentioning that some visitors who come here to worship the god statue will spontaneously start to believe in the river god; this is not Wang Lei’s intention, but the instinct of the river god at work.

After he fully controls the power of the river god, he should be able to eliminate this point, allowing the living to believe or not, rather than forcing them to.

What Wang Lei is currently doing is not to increase new believers, but to sort out his own foundation, at least to make himself less miserable…

Three days later, with effective guidance, at least the villagers of Nangao Village were convinced without any doubt.

The river god temple also displays printed booklets, which introduce the river god’s life and origin. People who are not familiar with the river god can pick it up and have the first impression of "Wang Lei, the river god".

On the fourth night, Wang Lei felt much more comfortable, at least not so miserable; that sense of split personality also weakened, and even the time he could be clear-headed extended.

Before Wang Lei could even thank Chu Jiang, Chu Jiang brought Jing Ruoxue to the river god temple.

"It seems that something has happened. The headquarters has issued an urgent recall order for the 21 captains across the country. Except for those who can’t leave, they must immediately go to the headquarters to attend a meeting."

At first, Wang Lei was unable to speak through the statue in the temple, so he could only communicate with outsiders through the original statue at the bottom of the river god lake.

But because the results came out in these few days, Chu Jiang wanted to talk to Wang Lei, and there was no need to go down the river anymore.

Hearing this news from Chu Jiang, Wang Lei suddenly became worried, "Could it be that the research institute found out about the situation here, strongly disapproved, and planned to gather powerful forces to completely destroy the River God belief?"

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "You’re thinking too much. I asked my operator what exactly happened."

Although she wasn’t very clear, she said it should be related to the recent accelerated outbreak of paranormal activity.

"The worst case scenario is that another S-class event has occurred in a city within the country."

"A slightly better situation is that there may be several A-class events erupting domestically, and there are so many B-class and C-class events that you cannot even count them with both hands. So, headquarters hopes that the high-end forces can step in and overcome this current difficulty."

During this period of time, Chu Jiang has been observing the changing global situation. There have been three new S-class paranormal events occurring overseas.

They are the "Black Pharaoh" that happened in a small country in Africa, the "Primitive Revenge" in the kangaroo country in Oceania, and the "Headless Emperor" in the samba country in South America.

In addition to the existing "Ghost Abyss" in the island country, the "False God" in the United States, the "Black Sun" that traveled to mainland Europe and was resolved, the "Ghost Train" in Russia is now also officially recognized as an S-class event.

Recently, the train reappeared and caused a lot of deaths and injuries. It is said that the bodies of the deceased were used to build new train carriages…

In this way, it can be said that all seven continents in the world, except for the deserted Antarctica, have not experienced any S-class paranormal events.

In the country, according to Chu Jiang’s observations, there haven’t been any new S-class ghosts appearing. But in various cities, there are new paranormal events almost every day. Online discussions about these events have started and they can’t be suppressed.

At the national level, it is repeatedly assured that the safety of people’s lives will be guaranteed, so there is no need to panic.

Luohe City and its surrounding cities are relatively calm because they were previously ravaged by the Black Sun, which also reduced the number of fierce ghosts.

Except for the recent appearance of an A-class "Ghost Bride" in Langchao City, most incidents in other cities are of C-class. The local authorities can handle them on their own without needing Chu Jiang’s help.

So at this moment, Chu Jiang is surprisingly one of the few captains in the country who have relatively little work. Other captains are really busy and hardly have any time to rest.

Oh, by the way, since Chu Jiang became captain, there have been four deaths and one disappearance among the original captains, all of which were related to paranormal events. The casualty rate is as high as one-fourth.

And the missing captain has already been considered deceased and archived by headquarters.

This is the high risk of facing ghosts, it doesn’t mean you won’t fail just because you’re stronger than others. In fact, because you often encounter more dangerous supernatural events, you may die faster than the regular Ghost Masters.

Because there were many vacant positions, the team leader position was given to Yan Wanli, the "Ghost Corpse," and now he’s the team leader again.

By the way, Li Buhuo, who introduced Chu Jiang to the research institute before, is also one of the team leaders. It can only be said that the rotation of team leaders is fast and cruel.

Today, Chu Jiang received a sudden call from Chen Yuting, which was not surprising to him. However, he didn’t know what the urgent matter was. Hopefully, it won’t be another nearly unsolvable S-class ghost…
