Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1279 1246: Eight Operatives Dispatched
Headquarters.
In front of the captain’s meeting table.
After the ghost painting was stolen from Ping’an Tower, the captains had no desire to hold a meeting. Now, their attention was captured by the Zhang Xiangguang incident.
At this moment, they were discussing how to pull out this group of people and get the ghost painting situation under control.
After all, Old Qin was the one who originally detained the ghost painting, and if it loses control again, no one knows how to handle it.
“Finding Zhang Xiangguang isn’t that difficult, I have a way to determine his location.”
Suddenly, Lu Zhiwen, who had been relatively low-key, spoke up.
As soon as he said this, everyone’s attention was drawn towards him.
“If you had a way, you should have mentioned it earlier; we wouldn’t have had to discuss it for so long.”
Leuk San said, looking at him with some displeasure.
Li Jun asked, “What method?”
Lu Zhiwen said, “I can only determine his approximate location, but to actually find him would take some time. If any of you have a better method, I suggest using it. However, it seems that no one here has another way to track him, so I have to say it.”
“Regardless of whether your method is good or bad, it’s better to share it first rather than keep it to yourself and waste everyone’s time,” Leuk San said with a cold expression.
“Give me a moment.”
Lu Zhiwen didn’t speak, merely picked up a pen he had with him and started writing on a blank piece of paper.
On the white paper, he wrote Zhang Xiangguang’s name, not more, not less, exactly sixteen times.
The sixteen names formed a circle, leaving a blank area in the center.
After finishing, Lu Zhiwen placed the pen on the paper.
Immediately.
An eerie phenomenon occurred.
The pen began spinning on the paper.
“Are you playing with a pen spirit?” He Yiner looked at the pen.
“More or less, if you want to understand it that way,” Lu Zhiwen replied.
Soon.
The pen stopped, pointing in a direction.
“Zhang Xiangguang is in the south, and from this position, he’s passed through cities like Zhongyang City, Zhongxiang City… Dazheng City, Dahan City. Following this route, the compass can find his location. Again, this will take some time,” Lu Zhiwen explained.
“You mean we have to use this thing and keep tracking in that direction? When your thing stops, that’s when we find Zhang Xiangguang?”
Li Jun frowned.
Wei Jing numbly said, “Using the Ghost Domain to hurry, under ideal conditions, the approximate location can be determined in half an hour.”
“That’s too slow. The other party knows they’ve been exposed and won’t stay in one place for long. He’s likely to move, so half an hour won’t be enough to track him,” Lin Bei thought, then said.
Lu Zhiwen said, “Locating a top-tier ghost handler is harder than locating an ordinary person. I don’t think my method is the best.”
“However, at this point, it doesn’t matter. As long as there’s a way, we can start taking action now,” Li Jun said.
“Hold on, this matter needs Yang Jian’s input.”
Cao Yang said, “On the first day of the captain’s meeting, it’s not appropriate to ignore the Enforcement Captain.”
“He said he’s gone to sleep; no one knows when he’ll come over,” He Yiner said.
Leuk San spoke, “It won’t take long; he’s already here.”
The next moment.
A flash of red light, and Yang Jian appeared in everyone’s sight again.
Yang Jian walked briskly and said, “Zhang Xiangguang is in Dahan City, under the watch of Sun Rui. If we head out now, we can meet them there. Anyone willing to join me?”
“Dahan City? Are you sure?” Li Jun asked, glancing at Lu Zhiwen next.
Lu Zhiwen put away the pen, nodded, agreeing with Yang Jian’s words.
“It’s almost certain,” Yang Jian said.
Li Jun said, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
“Count me in,” Leuk San said.
Cao Yang also stood up from his seat, “Now that it’s underway, there’s no reason to back out, I’ll go too.”
“Although I don’t want this hassle, someone on their side died at my hands, so this isn’t over yet,” Li Leping also stood up.
For a moment, many responded.
They were all willing to go with Yang Jian to handle the matter.
Wei Jing numbly said, “I’ll go with you too, let’s finish them off in one go to prevent any future trouble.”
“Since there are so many people, I’ll stay. I hope you don’t mind.”
Wang Chaling spoke up at this time.
Yang Jian glanced at him, “If you don’t want to go, then suit yourself, I won’t force you.”
“Thank you.”
Wang Chaling sensed Yang Jian’s unfriendly look but smiled slightly in thanks.
“Yang team, take me with you,” Zhou Deng said.
“Involvement with the ghost painting is dangerous; you’ve just become a captain, and to be honest, I think it’s not suitable for you to join this,” Yang Jian said seriously.
Zhou Deng said, “I know my limits, don’t worry.”
“Alright, if you’ve decided, I won’t force it,” Yang Jian nodded.
Lin Bei said at this moment, “I’ll stay at headquarters for now, in case everyone leaves and something goes wrong. Yang team, you don’t object, do you?”
“If you want to stay, then stay. I’m going anyway,” He Yiner said without the slightest hesitation.
Even though she had issues with Yang Jian, she wouldn’t back down in such a big matter.
Cao Yanhua spoke at this unsuitable moment, “Yang Jian, is it necessary for so many captains to act together to deal with Zhang Xiangguang? I mean, if we move everyone and something unexpected happens elsewhere, there’ll be no one to handle it. Maybe leave a few people here?”
Yang Jian thought about it and agreed, “Cao Yang, you stay.”
Cao Yang looked at him, a bit confused.
“Your self-defense is a bit lacking. When Zhang Xiangguang attacked you, you used your substitute doll. That information has been exposed. Next time, the enemy might focus on you. They’ll be prepared, and this meeting might become a battle. Any mistake could cost lives,” Yang Jian said.
“At this critical point, captains can’t fall.”
“Alright, if manpower’s not enough, just call, I’ll be there immediately.”
Cao Yang shrugged, having no choice but to agree.
In reality, his self-defense skills weren’t weak. He just took more precautions sometimes. But someone needed to monitor headquarters, so he had nothing else to say.
Soon.
The list was finalized.
Yang Jian, Wei Jing, Li Jun, Leuk San, He Yiner, Zhou Deng, Li Leping, and the rather mysterious Lu Zhiwen.
A total of eight captains.
Such a joint effort is unprecedented in the current supernatural circle.
Cao Yanhua tacitly agreed to Yang Jian’s deployment.
After all, this is a very special matter, and it can’t be taken lightly. It’s good enough to have three captains staying behind.
“Yang Jian, I think I can help too.”
Suddenly, Liu Qi, among the reserve captains, stepped forward and said expectantly.
“Liu Qi?”
Yang Jian looked at him and finally said, “Thanks, but there’s no need for you to take risks. It wasn’t easy for you to get here, don’t take chances lightly.”
“Alright then.”
Liu Qi sighed.
Indeed, he wasn’t ready to join a captain-level conflict yet.
“Since the personnel is confirmed, what are we waiting for? Let’s go. Every minute wasted is another minute the enemy might escape,” He Yiner urged.
“Don’t resist my Ghost Domain, I’ll take you there.”
Without another word, Yang Jian’s ghost eye opened.
The next moment.
Red light covered the sky, and the eight captains from headquarters vanished instantly, heading straight for Dadong City.
“Hope everything goes smoothly.”
Cao Yanhua silently prayed when he saw the scene.
At this moment, the headquarters can’t take any more troubles. It was hard to gather twelve captains and choose an enforcement captain, restoring stability. If they lost some during this trip, it would be devastating.
But the ghost painting incident couldn’t be ignored.
Once the ghost painting loses control, it affects more than just a few cities.
“Why did you stay?” At this moment, Wang Chaling suddenly asked Lin Bei beside him.
Lin Bei smiled, “Nothing much, just wanted to chat with you, and I have confidence in Yang Jian.”
