Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 205 Wait a minute, I'll swing my stick

"Uncle, you're back."

Chen Xin heard the noise outside, opened the door and saw Wang Xingping carrying a silver box.

But this outfit doesn't look like someone who's back from vacation to celebrate the New Year.

"Well, I took a mission and came back to check on my family."

Wang Xingping patted Chen Xin on the shoulder.

"How's the strengthening exercise going?"

"The second edition will be full after the New Year, and I was thinking of going to the Lingyuan Citizens' Bureau to get the third edition of the physical exercise."

"Haha, that's good... In that case, you can go to the Public Opinion Bureau for internship when school starts."

"Uh, internship? But I'm only a freshman."

Wang Xingping led Chen Xin to sit at a table nearby.

"There are some things I have to tell you."

Seeing Wang Xingping's serious expression, Chen Xin also listened carefully.

"I received news from the General Administration that the concentration of Yin Qi in Da Xia has suddenly increased. Many places have spawned many ghosts because of the increase in Yin Qi concentration. This is why I have been very busy recently."

"The General Administration has not given a clear explanation on how many more supernatural incidents there are, but the number of missions I have received has increased from six to four days, and the frequency is even increasing."

"The increase in supernatural incidents has caused the Public Opinion Bureau to be seriously understaffed, so adjustments have been made. One-fifth of the original logistics specialists have been transferred to the front line, and the conditions for joining the Public Opinion Bureau have been relaxed, including for private fortune tellers and college students."

"Originally, only senior students could join the Public Opinion Bureau, but now the threshold has changed. As long as you complete the second version of the physical training, you can join the internship at any time."

"Actually, this isn't really a change. We've had early recruitment before, and now it's just being made public."

"There is also the special training class. The special training class you are in is the first batch of pilots. Judging from the feedback from various cities, the pilot is going very well. Many regions have reported a lot of talents to the higher authorities. So in the second half of the semester, the Public Opinion Survey Bureau will select specialists to go to various schools to train the second batch of special training class members."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be more and more special training classes in the future. I even feel that universities will directly develop the special training classes of the Public Opinion Bureau into a public subject like a major. By that time, the Public Opinion Bureau will not only be known by a few people who have contact with it. Correspondingly, supernatural events will no longer be prohibited from public discussion like they are now."

Having said that, Wang Xingping looked at Chen Xin.

"So, the trend is coming! Chen Xin, you are now at the forefront of the trend. With your talent, you can take off as long as you seize the opportunity. You will fly higher than me and higher than everyone in the Lingyuan Citizens Bureau!"

Looking at Wang Xingping's excited expression, Chen Xin thought of what Wang Xiang said before, 'Spiritual energy is reviving, and the great era is coming.'

Different people say the same words, but give people completely different feelings.

Snapped!
Just as Chen Xin was thinking about how to respond to Wang Xingping, a slap hit Wang Xingping on the back of his head.

"Why don't you call me when you get back?"

Wang Xingping shrank his head, turned around and looked at Mei Huixiang who had just returned from a walk, and smiled awkwardly.

"Mom, I just stopped by to see you...How are you doing recently? Is your meal okay? Is there anything you need at home?"

Chen Xin looked at his uncle who put the silver box in his hand on the ground and turned to please his grandmother. He felt a little amused and helpless for a moment.

Watching the mother and son return to the room to talk, Chen Xin recalled what Wang Xingping had just said, and his heart became more serious.

There was something in Zong Peng's memory that Chen Xin did not remember.

When I heard Wang Xingping suddenly say this today, that fragment of memory came back to me.

There must be another reason for the increase in the concentration of Yin energy in Daxia, and that is that there are more Yin and Ming passages connecting to the Yang world!

The Yin and Ming passage here does not refer to a 'door'. If it were a 'door' it would be fine. With a 'door' there, the Yin energy and Yin and Ming energy on the Yin and Ming side would be blocked by the 'door'.

The channel mentioned here is a crack without an intermediate stage. The frequency of occurrence and duration of this crack are not fixed.

Once it appears, the yin energy in a certain area will become several times or even dozens of times higher than that in other areas. In this case, the probability of ghosts breeding will also increase exponentially.

In other words, the probability of encountering supernatural events will increase in the future.

Chen Xin was very grateful for this.

If he didn't have the "Compendium of Magical Treasures", if he didn't carefully and firmly obtain one magical treasure after another, how would he face the future world?
Thinking of this, Chen Xin thought of the evil spirits in the underworld.

Compared with the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, the number of the underworld's underworld's underworld messengers is too small. Although the strength of the underworld's underworld messengers who possess talismans starts at the team leader level, their overall strength is still far behind.

If Chen Xin were to develop the business alone, the scale would naturally not be comparable to that of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, or even a branch bureau.

Didn’t Wang Xingping just say that there will be a new special training class next semester?

Even if only one in ten students in a class will complete the second edition of the physical exercise within half a semester, there will be at least two people.

There are two people in one class, so five classes means ten people.

This is still just one city and one school.

Looking at the bigger picture, I dare not even imagine how Chen Xin can compare with the speed at which the Public Opinion Survey Bureau recruits new members?
Therefore, unless Chen Xin wants to delegate the management of the underworld to other people, he has no choice but to take the elite route.

"Calculating the time, Ji Mo has been a Yin messenger for quite some time. We should think about when to distribute the Eight-flavor Rehmannia Pills to speed up their cultivation. We can't give them the talismans at will, so improving their overall quality is the fastest way for them to improve at the moment."

As Chen Xin was thinking this, he suddenly heard his grandmother's voice.

"Chen Xin, come and eat!"

……

Wang Xingping had dinner at home before leaving. He had to eat, otherwise the old lady would be unhappy.

When we arrived at the river where the accident happened in Hejia Village, it was already dusk and approaching dark.

Waiting here at this time were two other commissioners from the Mubei City Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

After seeing Wang Xingping, they both got out of the car.

Although Wangjiagou is located at the junction of Mubei City and Lingyuan City, it is actually under the jurisdiction of Mubei Civil Investigation Bureau.

Wang Xingping is here only to assist this time. Unless the leader is willing, Wang Xingping can only make suggestions.

Even so, it was because Wang Xingping's family was in Wangjiagou that they were granted special approval for joint law enforcement. Otherwise, the Mubei Citizens' Bureau would not allow Lingyuan City to participate in the incident within its jurisdiction, even if they were short of manpower. This is a matter of principle!

"Hello, I'm Wang Xingping from Lingyuan City."

Wang Xingping arrived and extended his hand to greet people.

"Yu Shanze, he is my assistant Mao Chenfeng, just call him Xiao Mao."

"Hello, Team Leader Yu, Xiao Mao."

After saying hello, Wang Xingping turned his gaze to He Laoliu who was placed not far from the shore.

"Team Leader Wang, do you know much about He Laoliu?"

"I've heard in the village before that He Laoliu is in charge of many folk affairs in Hejia Village. For a while, some people in Wangjiagou liked to go to He Laoliu for errands, but his reputation was average. No matter how big or small the matter was, he would always take care of it, but he never made any mistakes."

Yu Shanze nodded, then pointed at He Laoliu and said, "He should be from the Yin Sect, right?"

"Correct."

"The ghost in him is gone."

Wang Xingping was startled and walked over to spread the energy and blood in his body towards He Laoliu. He indeed did not sense the existence of the seal in his body.

"There are no signs of ghosts leaving the area, and even the stone reported by Wang Zhibo from your village is missing. He Laoliu's death must have involved someone else."

"You mean, Wang Zhibo is a suspect?"

Wang Xingping looked at Yu Shanze.

"I feel like he has something to do with it, but I'm not sure if he killed He Laoliu. Maybe it's someone else."

Wang Xingping nodded and stood up.

"Please lead the way, Team Leader Wang."

When Wang Xingping heard the other party say this, he knew that this time he had gone to Wang Zhibo, and he could only watch.

But there was nothing wrong with that, and he didn't want to argue about anything.

He had only one purpose in getting involved in this matter, and that was to clean up the supernatural events near Wangjiagou!

and so……

When Yu Shanze was about to leave, he saw Wang Xingping taking off the black cylindrical object that was more than one meter long and was carried on his back.

"Team Leader Wang, what are you doing?"

"Oh, one of my magic tools can find out the ghosts that may be born here but have not yet been born. If there is any situation later, I will have to ask Team Leader Yu to take action."

Yu Shanze frowned, but nodded.

Then he saw Wang Xingping pull out a white stick from the cylinder, with white cotton strips wrapped around the stick.

"Uh, a mourning stick?"

When Xiao Mao, who was standing nearby, saw this thing, he immediately shouted in surprise.

After hearing this, Wang Xingping smiled and said, "It's called the mourning staff."

Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.

After seeing Wang Xingping walking to the river, Xiao Mao couldn't help but mutter something.

"Is this thing a magical tool? Shouldn't it be a yin object?"

Just as he was muttering, Wang Xingping had already swung his stick at the bridge foundation that had been built and dismantled many times.

A whooshing sound was heard, and Yu Shanze, who had been frowning, suddenly shook his body.

Suddenly, white spikes pierced through the thin coat on both arms, revealing their bodies.

This change startled Xiao Mao, who was standing nearby, and he immediately became alert.

"Brother Ze, is there a ghost? Which direction?"

Yu Shanze didn't say anything, but just stared at the mourning stick in Wang Xingping's hand.

Every time the ghost in Yu Shanze heard the sound of the mourning staff cutting through the air, it would tremble. Yu Shanze had never encountered such a situation before.

"What the hell is that?"

Just as Yu Shanze was frowning in thought, Xiao Mao beside him suddenly exclaimed.

"There's a ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shanze shifted his gaze from the mourning stick and looked towards the river.

Three figures, one big and two small, floated up from the bottom of the river.

"Three wandering souls!"

Yu Shanze turned his head and looked at Mao Chenfeng who was standing beside him with a look of astonishment.

“Why didn’t you detect it just now?”

"Ze, Brother Ze, I did measure the riverbed just now, and apart from some residual Yin energy, there is no ghost at all!"

Mao Chenfeng was in tears. He wanted to say that there was something wrong with the machine, but the machine in his hand actually displayed the number of ghosts and the level of yin energy fluctuations.

Just when Yu Shanze was about to scold Mao Chenfeng for not doing his job seriously, a fire appeared on Wang Xingping's side.

Turning around, Yu Shanze saw Wang Xingping's hanging mourning staff and the wandering soul that disappeared into the air.
