9: Chapter 9 Dragon Group ZH City Head
"Although I made a profit, I still need to be careful. The Ghost Dream puzzle is so complete; after leaving the Ghost Subway, it will definitely be prone to Ghost Revival..."
Suppressing the joy in his heart from successfully controlling the ghost, Lin Chuan began to analyze the situation of the Ghost Dream.
From the dream just now, it could be seen that the puzzle of this Ghost Dream was relatively complete.
And according to the information given by his grandfather, the more complete a ghost's puzzle is, the more terrifying that ghost is.
Clearly, Ghost Dream is such a terrifying existence.
Even by recalling the residence in the dream, Lin Chuan had an intuition that the residence seemed capable of manifesting in reality.
What this represents goes without saying.
Ghost Domain!
Although a Ghost Domain cannot completely determine the level of a ghost's supernatural terror, there is a saying in the information that is understood this way.
A ghost without a Ghost Domain might not be strong, but a ghost with a Ghost Domain is absolutely formidable.
Because a ghost that comes with a Ghost Domain is equivalent to carrying its own territory.
In this territory, the ghost is omnipotent!
Of course, a ghost without consciousness naturally won't think about how to control the Ghost Domain; it will only be instinctive control.
But when a Ghost Domain is in the hands of a Ghost Controller, it's a different story!
So in summary, after getting off the subway, it's best not to use the Ghost Dream's supernatural power if possible.
Otherwise, when the Ghost Dream wakes up, Lin Chuan will constantly suffer from the ghost's assault.
Even Ghost Dream might undergo Ghost Revival because of it, which is not something he wants to see.
"Impressive, you were actually lucky enough to successfully control it. I am the Dragon Group's Person-in-Charge of ZH City, Zhang Fan. What is your name?"
Just as Lin Chuan was deeply pondering the supernatural nature of Ghost Dream, a hoarse, dry voice devoid of any human emotion rang out.
It directly shattered the peace of the subway carriage, which had been silent except for the rustling of dim yellow lights, and everyone looked over in terror.
One by one, they immediately noticed the man in the trench coat who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
After seeing the appearance of the man in the trench coat, the first reaction of the students was to think that the other party was a ghost.
But when they processed the other party's words.
Their expressions immediately became astonished. Dragon Group's Person-in-Charge of ZH City?
Who could possibly call themselves that? People from relevant departments?
And what did the other party mean by 'control'?
However, among the remaining students, there were a few who often read web novels.
So they immediately understood the meaning of the two words 'Dragon Group', which raised many questions in their minds.
However, seeing the other party's appearance, they held back and decided to observe the situation first.
As for the students' gazes, the man in the trench coat who called himself Zhang Fan ignored them.
He stared at Lin Chuan with great interest, as if wanting to see through him.
Controlling a formless ghost—if one only considered the level of supernatural terror, the ghost he controlled might not be able to contend with it.
And based on the situation of the other party's control just now, Zhang Fan felt that this student was worth befriending.
Especially for a Ghost Controller who had just controlled a ghost and didn't have much vigilance yet, befriending them would be beneficial and harmless.
"Dragon Group's Person-in-Charge of ZH City? It seems this relevant department is quite keeping up with the times...
It's just that ZH City is nearly a hundred kilometers away from Dashen City. What is this person-in-charge doing here?
Also, the other party actually dared to speak on the subway. Could it be that one can speak freely inside this subway?
That's right, the Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity in the human skin book said that there is a power in the subway that suppresses the supernatural. It seems those ghosts are actually being suppressed.
It's just that this suppression of the supernatural is likely biased..."
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Lin Chuan, who had come back to his senses, began to ponder deeply.
Dragon Group is clearly the collective term for the relevant state departments.
And the so-called person-in-charge should be the one responsible for the supernatural handling and safety situation of a city.
But there is one point Lin Chuan couldn't figure out: what is Zhang Fan, a person-in-charge of ZH City, doing running to Dashen City?
If he remembered correctly, Ghost Controllers are wary of each other.
Presumably, Dashen City also has a Dragon Group person-in-charge. Given Zhang Fan's abrupt arrival in Dashen City.
Lin Chuan didn't believe that the Dashen City person-in-charge would let the other party do as they pleased.
Besides these, since Zhang Fan dared to speak in the subway carriage, it clearly proved that there are no concerns about talking freely inside the subway.
Linking this to the 'suppression of the supernatural' written in the Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity section of the human skin book, Lin Chuan realized.
At the same time, he guessed that the so-called 'suppression of the supernatural' has a strong bias.
This can be seen from Ghost Dream and those ghosts capable of triggering killing rules.
Thinking this way, Lin Chuan's mind became active.
Without thinking too much about other things, since Zhang Fan had the intention to initiate a conversation.
Then Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't respond coldly.
At the very least, he wanted to get information about this subway from the other party.
If possible, he would also inquire about the situation of the Dragon Group.
The basic information given by his grandfather only briefly mentioned the situation and didn't elaborate at all.
Therefore, all specific situations and information had to be understood by himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan also opened his mouth to reply to the other party:
"My name is Lin Chuan. Are the Dragon Group and the person-in-charge you mentioned what I think they are?"
He didn't give a fake name; Zhang Fan was the person-in-charge.
Then he definitely couldn't deceive the other party. Although this era has Ghost Revival, technology is no different from his past life; with just a little investigation, everything would be found out.
As for why he asked the second half of the sentence, it was naturally to play dumb.
"As you think."
Zhang Fan's voice was dry and hoarse, making it very uncomfortable to listen to.
But he had long been accustomed to this and didn't think anything of it, instead continuing to respond to Lin Chuan.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and there was a look of interest in his numb, painful eyes:
"Are you interested in coming to ZH City to join my command? I can give you generous benefits, a monthly salary of one million, and you will also have a villa..."
The benefits Zhang Fan offered were very tempting. If it were the Lin Chuan from before who had not come into contact with supernatural events.
He would definitely have agreed immediately, but after knowing the truth of this world.
Lin Chuan just wanted to say that he didn't care about money that much anymore.
As long as he wanted to, with his supernatural powers, he could obtain wealth at any time.
Moreover, according to his grandfather's reminder, supernatural events in this world will not decrease in the future, but will only become more and more frequent.
If he didn't become stronger before the ghosts fully underwent Ghost Revival in the early stages, then when the time came later, he would likely end up as a Ghost Thrall.
Therefore, Lin Chuan decisively rejected Zhang Fan's recruitment.
"Sorry, I don't like being constrained."
!!!
However, those students felt it was incredible when they heard it!
A few students even thought that there was something wrong with Lin Chuan's brain.
Now they naturally realized that this Zhang Fan, who called himself the Dragon Group's Person-in-Charge of ZH City, was definitely a special person capable of handling ghosts.
Lin Chuan actually refused such recruitment; they really couldn't understand it.
Likewise, they also couldn't understand why Zhang Fan would abruptly recruit Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan didn't seem to be anything special, right?
His grades in class were average, and everything about him was mediocre.
They couldn't figure out why it was so abrupt.
Could it be that there was something they didn't know about?
Lin Chuan's sudden recruitment might be related to the so-called 'control'.
Unlike those other students, Li Fei and a few others who were calm and rational quickly thought of the key to the matter!
Thinking of Lin Chuan's previous strangeness, avoiding ghost attacks, and actively going to the side of the ghost...
These incidents might all be indicating a certain possibility.
That is, their classmate Lin Chuan had a way to control and handle ghosts!
Once they thought of this, Li Fei and those few people all looked at Lin Chuan with burning gazes.
They also wanted this ability!
"That's a real pity, but my doors are always open to you."
