Chapter 308: The Start of the Mission
In the mountain area, in front of a metal gate, there were two formations lined up in front of Chu Jiang and Xinxin.
The formation on the left had at least a thousand soldiers, all fully armed with guns.
The formation on the right only had forty people. They were wearing matching camouflage uniforms, carrying black backpacks, and their demeanor was very different from the Ghost Masters Chu Jiang had seen before.
Although both have a scary atmosphere, they don’t look lazy at all. Instead, they are highly consistent with the trained soldiers on the left side.
This made Chu Jiang think. Are these Ghost Masters specially trained by the research institute?
Many people outside have had similar guesses, but this is the first time Chu Jiang has formally met these people.
"Reporting to the two captains, everything is ready. If you have no objections, we can leave immediately and complete the clearance work within ten minutes."
In the Ghost Master formation, a lead-dressed Ghost Master stepped forward and reported to Chu Jiang and the others.
Chu Jiang nodded slightly, "Let’s go. The two of us will go ahead and meet up at the destination."
After saying that, Chu Jiang enveloped Xinxin with the Ghost Domain and flew towards Yunjing City.
Yes, the headquarters of the Ghost Hunting Society is in Yunjing City, not far from the research institute headquarters, and they are quite bold.
Of course, they probably have the idea of taking this city hostage. They think that if the research institute really wants to target the Ghost Hunting Society, they will be helpless because of it.
And before today, they were very low-key, even within the Ghost Hunting Society, very few people knew the exact location of the headquarters.
Here, Chu Jiang couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the institute, silently infiltrating the top levels of the Ghost Hunting Society. What about other organizations?
There are probably not many people who can resist the temptation of the institute…
……
Chu Jiang and the others soon arrived at one of the city’s commercial centers, Silver Street in the East District. The headquarters of the Ghost Hunting Society was located inside an office building, to be precise, between the twentieth and thirtieth floors.
When they arrived, it was still crowded with people. After all, Yunjing City was quite special. Even if there were sudden supernatural events, they would be quickly resolved, making the place even more lively and bustling.
Chu Jiang was a bit puzzled when he arrived nearby. Can they really clear the area in ten minutes with so many people? And it’s not good to attract too much attention from ordinary people, right?
Anyway, within half an hour, two elite teams had arrived at the scene.
But Chu Jiang noticed that the people here, whether they were tourists or commuters, seemed to completely ignore these teams.
You can’t say that they ignore each other, it’s more like they have gotten used to each other’s presence. So they are not curious and not too concerned, just like how you don’t stare at strangers when you go out.
This made Chu Jiang feel thoughtful, it should be similar to what the research institute did in Luohe City. Since they can blur the memories of the people in Luohe City in their dreams, they can naturally also do subconscious suggestions on a group level.
This large-scale suggestion is of course ineffective against the Ghost Master, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people.
In fact, as soon as a special situation arose outside the Lian Building, Chu Jiang noticed that the Ghost Hunting Society was getting restless, even with four or five figures breaking through the glass and fleeing in all directions.
Some people even started kidnapping the ordinary people working inside the building.
Xinxin took out a silver whistle at some point, and she blew it gently. The Ghost Masters who were jumping or flying away screamed and fell to the ground one by one.
The reasons for their falls were all different, some were burned into fireballs, some were countered by vengeful spirits inside their bodies, some seemed to have heart problems… In short, it was as if they were all targeted by the Grim Reaper at the same moment.
At the same time, in the Ghost Master forces surrounding the building, one Ghost Master in each of the four directions raised their hands. They simultaneously activated their Ghost Domains, and the Ghost Domains between them actually fused together, isolating the building in an instant.
Therefore, the people outside only hear screams unexpectedly, but when they look up, everything seems normal?
At that moment, the soldiers started persuading the passersby and tourists to leave. The reason they gave was not very convincing – they said there would be a big art show here.
Surprisingly, the passersby believed them without a doubt and willingly left one by one.
Within ten minutes, the Silver Street became completely empty, except for the locked Lian Mansion.
Meanwhile, in addition to the four-person Ghost Domain team, the Ghost Master team also set up some high-tech equipment on site. They created a layer outside the Ghost Domain called the "Fake Ghost Domain" that could absorb sound and block light.
As a result, even if the Ghost Domain was breached, the sounds of battle would not be heard from the outside.
When Chu Jiang arrived in front of the mansion, he asked the leader of the Ghost Master team, "Do we not need to worry about the other people inside the building?"
The middle-aged leader with a determined face shook his head. "All the innocent people in the entire Lian Mansion were replaced days ago. The people kidnapped by the Ghost Hunting Society are just a group of puppets. I think they have realized it themselves by now."
Chu Jiang was surprised and asked, "Who is behind all of this?"
Even if we ignore the ten floors where the Ghost Hunting Society is located and only replace the people on other floors, avoiding detection by the Ghost Hunting Society is still an extremely difficult task.
The team leader showed a worried expression, "Regarding this… please ask Vice Minister of the Paranormal Department, Captain Chu. We don’t have the authority to answer."
Chu Jiang didn’t make it difficult for him either, just nodded lightly.
It seems Liu Xuewen didn’t exaggerate, the research institute has really made all the preparations, just lacking someone to take the lead.
To put it more bluntly, they need a Ghost Master with extremely strong personal combat abilities to prevent unexpected situations.
So Chu Jiang and Xinxin’s job is very simple, there are naturally people taking care of all external factors; they only need to deal with the toughest obstacles, and they don’t even need to take action for the final resolution.
In Chu Jiang’s personal opinion, he prefers to use a surprise decapitation tactic. That way, the opponent won’t have a chance to retaliate. The current approach gives the opponent time to prepare.
But Chu Jiang is well aware that his violent raiding method, while fast, would inevitably cause turmoil within Yunjing City.
The research institute doesn’t want to see this. Stability is the priority, they must not let the Ghost Hunting Society detect any problems in advance, and they need to orderly evacuate the nearby people. Hence, the current situation.
Moreover, the reason they gave them codename 004 is to salvage the most extreme scenario.
Of course, in general, as long as someone is a person, they have a desire to survive, and it is impossible for them to give up easily. So next, Chu Jiang and Xinxin need to officially enter the building and completely break down each other’s resistance.
