The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

This place was remote enough. After Hu Jiu finished handling the crime scene, he walked a short distance and waited for a long time before he stopped for a taxi.

The driver glanced at him, a little reluctantly: "Young man, what did you get?"

Hu Jiu smiled: "I went to visit relatives in the countryside and brought some local specialties."

The gold body bag containing Zou Cong became dirty and bulky after being dragged and bumped all the way. No wonder the driver hesitated.

Before the driver could speak again, Hu Jiu said bluntly: "I'll pay three times the price."

The driver was still frowning. He had professional ethics and would not deny passengers a ride because they were carrying large luggage. But the contents of the young man's bag in front of him looked vaguely...off?

"Five times." Hu Jiu gestured with open palms.

"Get in the car." The driver succumbed to the money offensive.

Who can have trouble with money?

Ignoring all doubts, the driver drove Hu Jiu home quickly.

As soon as he entered the house, Hu Jiu casually threw Shou Zhu and the two ghosts into the closet, washed them briefly, and collapsed on the sofa.

Not tired or sleepy, slightly irritable.

I was thinking about what happened in recent days, and what I cared about the most was [Ghost Contract] and [伥].

Although he was greedy for ghosts, Shoucun was too dangerous. He didn't know when the headquarters would send people to explore again. He was not completely sure. Hu Jiu didn't dare to take risks. The ghost book that was dropped at the critical moment was so stomach-ache.

We must find a way to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible!

Buzz——

The call rang, Hu Jiu answered the phone, and Qian Ying's excited voice reached his ears, "Mr. Hu, you are finally back!"

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Hu Jiu said coldly.

Qian Ying paused for a moment, "That's right, that day you were transferred from the headquarters to perform a mission. Not long after you left, a supernatural incident broke out in Linjiang City. Since no one was handling it, the situation was gradually getting worse..."

Of course Hu Jiu knew about this, because he released the ghost himself. I had previously captured an unknown ghost from Liu Mingguang, and I originally planned to use the chaos it caused as an excuse to refuse recruitment from the headquarters, but unfortunately I didn't catch up.

However, Hu Jiu was not disappointed. He regarded it as a test of Li Gui's ability and to add to his own "credit".

Faced with Qian Ying's request for help, Hu Jiu only said: "I have not officially become the person in charge of Linjiang City, and I have just returned from an emergency mission. I am in poor condition. If I take action forcibly, it may add chaos and make the situation worse." Oops. For the safety of the citizens, I need to rest. Please contact the headquarters and send the ghost master to handle it."

beep……

The call was hung up.

Qian Ying was stunned and wanted to get angry, but she also understood that Hu Jiu's words were justified. The group of ghost controllers was too special. If they forced their sick bodies to face difficulties or sacrificed themselves to save others, it would probably become a new disaster and bring disaster to others. More innocent.

A few minutes later, the bell rang again. It was a call from headquarters.

"Hello, Mr. Hu."

Hearing this female voice as clear and sweet as an oriole, Hu Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Who are you?"

"I am Xiaomei. Lin Guangning was transferred to other departments. I took over her job and am your new operator. I don't know if Mr. Hu would mind. If you have any comments, I can report it to my superiors. I hope Mr. Hu can give me a If we have the opportunity, we will definitely be able to get along well and cooperate for a win-win situation," Xiaomei said sweetly.

"No problem." Hu Jiu said in a gentle tone.

"Mr. Hu, please rest assured, I am professional." Xiaomei's voice was full of joy, but her face had no expression at all.

"I have something to ask. On the way Mr. Hu returned to Linjiang City from Shoucun, the driver responsible for picking you up said that you left with two unknown persons. After that, the driver was killed. The headquarters is tracing the murderer. Do you have any information? Any clue?"

"Oh? Such a thing happened!" Hu Jiu pretended to be surprised, "He is really unlucky. I don't know very well. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gotten off the car in advance. After all, I am from the headquarters. Who dares not to give up? To save the headquarters’ face, commit murder in front of the headquarters’ ghost master?”

Xiaomei seemed to have heard Hu Jiu's perfunctory behavior and skipped the topic directly. Hu Jiu was stunned. The reason he carefully made up didn't come in handy?

Does the headquarters really not know about the actions of the scientific research department? Or... are there many contradictions between the two?

Or are you waiting to settle the score in the future?

The messy thoughts flashed away from Hu Jiu's mind, and Xiaomei continued: "The testers will arrive in Linjiang City soon. Someone will contact you to go to the testing location. After passing the test, the headquarters will appoint you as Linjiang City's tester." The person in charge will also issue rewards for exploring Shoucun."

"In addition, the recent supernatural incident in Linjiang City is highly contagious. Please handle it in time. If necessary, the headquarters will send people to assist."

"That's all I have to say for now. If Mr. Hu has any other needs, you can contact me at any time. I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Hu Jiu hung up the phone. The first impression the new operator gave him was not bad.

At the same time, in an office somewhere in the headquarters, Fu Youhua was talking on the phone. His attitude gradually changed from calm at the beginning, to anger, and finally to red ears. It seemed that a very fierce dispute had occurred...

…

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Jiu received a notice from the tester, washed up briefly, and went out with the ghost book, Bai Ling and a flashlight. These things were small and easy to carry to deal with emergencies.

Driving all the way to the testing site, Hu Jiu saw two headquarters specialists wearing the same uniforms waiting on the roadside from a distance.

As soon as Hu Jiu got out of the car, they immediately recognized him and came over.

After exchanging a few words, the group walked into an office building while chatting.

Many ordinary people were walking in and out of the building. Ignoring their probing glances, Hu Jiu and others went straight to the top floor. After turning a few corners, there was a luxurious and exquisite room at the end of the corridor.

Hu Jiu asked: "Why do you need to conduct the test here?"

"This was originally the property of the former person in charge, Liu Mingguang, and all facilities are relatively complete." The headquarters commissioner responded with a smile.

"That's it." Hu Jiu nodded calmly.

Entering the room, he saw a young woman with a kind face and glasses. When she saw Hu Jiu, she stood up immediately and said, "Mr. Hu, I am Wang Xianhui. This time I will be responsible for testing whether you can serve as the person in charge of Linjiang City. By the way, I will pass it on to some headquarters. Items distributed.”

Wang Xianhui's conversation and appearance gave people a feeling of being easy to get along with. Hu Jiu also showed a fake smile. At first glance, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"If there is no problem, let's start now." Wang Xianhui said.

Hu Jiu asked her: "Just here? No need to change places?"

"No need, it's just a written test." Wang Xianhui explained: "There is a test paper. If your score is not particularly bad, you will pass. After that, this information will be sent to the headquarters and saved in your file. When answering the questions, you should I’d like to elaborate on the abilities and mechanisms of the ghosts you control, so that if you encounter supernatural events that are difficult to handle in the future, it will be easier for the headquarters to arrange suitable teammates for you.”

"Okay." Hu Jiu agreed without hesitation.

Wang Xianhui took out a test paper and a pen from the folder in his hand and handed them over.

Hu Jiu took it, and a cold and cold touch came from his fingertips. He was stunned for a moment, "What's the full score?"

"There is no perfect score, and there is no standard answer." Wang Xianhui pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose, "You only need to write down your true thoughts, and experts from the headquarters will evaluate whether your mental state can serve as the person in charge of a city."

Hu Jiu didn't ask any more questions. He didn't think a test paper could explain anything.

Half of the test paper is multiple choice questions and half is question and answer questions.

The first question turned out to be the famous trolley problem - 5 people are tied to the track, and 1 person is tied to the backup track. The out-of-control trolley is moving forward rapidly. If you have a joystick that can make the trolley enter the backup track, what is your question? The choice is?

A: Push the joystick, sacrifice 1 person on the backup track, and save 5 people.

B: Do nothing, kill 5 people, and survive.

Hu Jiu directly chose A.

In fact, if he were an ordinary person, he would definitely choose B.

Because if you "do nothing", you don't need to take responsibility, and you will not be held accountable by law if you do nothing. But once the joystick is pushed, no matter how many people are saved, the person who died will be related to him, and he will probably be sued afterwards, face huge compensation or even go to jail!

Of course, Hu Jiu is a ghost controller at this time, so the choice depends entirely on his mood. He can kill everyone!

Question 2: What is your choice when encountering an unknown supernatural event?

A: Attempt containment.

B: Run away alone.

C: Collect as much intelligence as possible and rescue people.

Hu Jiu chose C.

Q\u0026A: If you were on the verge of resuscitation and dying, what would you most want to do?

"Life will eventually pass away, so you might as well be bold." - This is Hu Jiu's true thought.

"Put yourself into a gold container to avoid harming society after death." - This is the answer written by Hu Jiu.

The scope of these questions is very wide, covering various emergencies. Hu Jiu's fluent writing seems to be back to the high school days, answering Chinese reading comprehension, but it is a little less pretentious and more genuine, making it seem less hypocritical.

For a moment, the sound of swiss and swish continued to echo in the silent room. Wang Xianhui was sitting not far away, seemingly looking at his mobile phone, but in fact he kept looking at Hu Jiu.

The so-called "mental state test" cannot be determined by just one test paper. From the moment Hu Jiu was noticed by the headquarters, his life history was completely revealed. Only his every move after becoming a ghost controller can be determined. It is the most important audit indicator.

Time passed slowly, and after more than forty minutes, Hu Jiu stopped writing.

Wang Xianhui stood up, took away the neatly written test paper, and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, your test results will take a while, and the results will be available within an hour."

Hu Jiu nodded, more convinced that this was just a formality.

The call rang, and it was Qian Ying again. The supernatural events in Linjiang City became more and more intense. Just now, he discovered that two outsiders who were suspected of being ghost masters had fallen into the trap. He had no choice but to notify Hu Jiu again, hoping that he would You can take action as soon as possible.

Listening carefully to Qian Ying's description, Hu Jiu lowered his eyes. Judging from the current intelligence, the ghost was indeed powerful enough. No wonder Liu Mingguang wanted to release it to deal with him.

Waited for a while...

"Hu Jiu, congratulations. From now on, you will be the person in charge of Linjiang City." Wang Xianhui walked in from outside, carrying a safe in his hand. "After analysis by the experts from the headquarters, we unanimously believe that you can take on the responsibility of guarding the city." It is an important task for a city, and the notice of appointment and dismissal will be issued soon. "

"Considering your contribution during the trip to Kotobuki Village, this is issued to you by the headquarters."

As she spoke, she opened the safe and placed two things inside: a test tube containing a light blue turbid solution and a white mask.

There was no sense of surprise at all. Hu Jiu pretended not to know and asked, "What are these?"

Wang Xianhui pointed to the test tube and introduced: "This is a longevity potion, one of the supernatural products developed by the headquarters. It can effectively suppress the evil ghosts in the ghost master's body, delay the recovery process, repair damaged tissues and organs to a certain extent, and extend life."

"That white mask is also a supernatural item developed by the headquarters. Wearing it can disguise the breath of living people, blind evil spirits, and temporarily interrupt the killing pattern. The effect can last for 30 minutes. If it is taken off early or the use time limit is reached, it will break into pieces and become ineffective. The white mask cannot be used continuously, and the second one must be used after more than twenty-four hours, otherwise the wearer will lose his mind and go crazy to death. "

"These are strategic resources. The average city leader can only redeem one of them based on merit. The headquarters is very generous this time. Is Mr. Hu satisfied?"

After Wang Xianhui finished speaking, Hu Jiu gave full play to her acting skills and looked surprised, "I'm very satisfied!"

"That's good. In that case, please sign a confidentiality agreement." Wang Xianhui took out a document and said that no information about Shoucun can be leaked to the outside world.

Hu Jiu glanced at it and wrote his name.

Wang Xianhui put away the documents and warned: "This is a special case. Next time you can only use your credit to apply to the headquarters to exchange for the longevity potion or white mask. As the person in charge, you have the obligation to monitor all supernatural events in this city and start detaining them." , restrictions or blockades, and report to the headquarters in a timely manner. These are all your achievements. When you accumulate enough credits, you will have the opportunity to participate in the experiment of controlling the second ghost and enhance your own strength. "

Hu Jiu didn't say anything. The rubbish "hush money" was really not worth his contribution of more acting skills. A horse can't get fat without night grass, and a man can't get rich without a windfall. The rags sent from the headquarters are not as good as the fractions he robbed.

As for controlling the second ghost, he was in no hurry. He is more willing to believe in ghost books than experiments with unknown success rates.

"One last thing, when you came out of Shoucun, someone saw you carrying a body bag. What was that?" Wang Xianhui asked.

"It's a ghost I took in accidentally." Hu Jiu replied.

Wang Xianhui did not urge Hu Jiu to hand over the ghost. That was not her responsibility. She only reminded: "Report the relevant information about the ghost to the headquarters as soon as possible and establish a file in a timely manner."

After seeing off Wang Xianhui, Hu Jiu did not leave. Instead, he walked around the office building and felt pretty good.

I want the dove to occupy the magpie's nest.

As the new person in charge, he does not intend to turn Linjiang City into his own private fortress. He only regards this place as an experimental field. With legal power, it will be easier for him to operate in secret and cause trouble!
