At the capital headquarters,
After Li Wan'er hung up the phone,
she typed on the keyboard for a moment, then pressed Enter.
A set of documents was printed out.
She put them into a file folder, then opened a drawer and took out two more files, handing all three to Director Dong standing nearby.
Director Dong took the three files and walked out of the communications room, heading toward an office labeled "Deputy Minister."
"Knock! Knock!"
"Come in," came a steady voice from inside.
"This is for Minister Situ," Director Dong said, "the files on the three Paranormal Incidents solved by Jiangcheng City's Ghost Tamer Qin Feng over the past few days."
Director Dong placed the three files on the desk. They were clearly labeled: a C-level Murderous Ghost case, a B-level Hiding Ghost case, and a C-level Hanging Ghost case.
Originally, Qin Feng had thought about upgrading the Hanging Ghost incident to a B-level case.
After all, this ghost was quite terrifying, possessing two instant-kill murder patterns and was even in the process of forming a Ghost Domain. No one knew how large or dangerous the Ghost Domain might become for Jiangcheng City.
So defining it as a B-level incident would have been justified.
However, Qin Feng not only blackmarked the Hanging Ghost's one puzzle piece, the ghost eye, but also blackmarked the White Silk Ghost, and sold the Hiding Ghost to the Paranormal Association.
He felt a bit embarrassed about it,
and also did not want to leave headquarters with the impression that he was greedy or reckless.
Deputy Minister Situ Wenhua was a nearly fifty-year-old middle-aged man, slightly plump with a round face and small eyes that always seemed to be smiling, giving off a slick impression.
Indeed, he was a smooth operator.
Because Ghost Tamers are time bombs, constantly eroded by Paranormal Energy, the person managing them cannot be a traditional, by-the-official. Otherwise, if one exploded, it wouldn't even require a Paranormal Incident to destroy the entire country.
He picked up the files and read carefully.
"Qin Feng successfully bound the ghost hand three days ago, and the process was smooth and effortless, with no sign of Paranormal Energy erosion..."
"Wait, three days ago?"
Situ Wenhua suddenly interrupted Director Dong, astonished.
He looked again at the three files on the desk.
"Yes," Director Dong nodded seriously.
To be honest, he too was stunned by Qin Feng's efficiency.
Having been a Ghost Tamer for less than four days, Qin Feng had solved three Paranormal Incidents — roughly one per day — including a B-level case.
No rookie should be able to achieve this.
Yet he had.
This made them both feel shocked and uneasy.
Next, Situ Wenhua carefully examined the three case files one by one.
Dong did not interrupt.
Normally, the files of a Ghost Tamer with only three days of experience would never reach a ministerial desk.
But Qin Feng's relentless focus on money and absorption of Paranormal Energy had driven him to solve one incident per day — an impressive speed that frightened both men.
Especially when Situ Wenhua saw the Hanging Ghost file, he gasped inwardly.
With his more than twenty years of experience handling Paranormal Incidents, he was acutely aware that the Hanging Ghost was nearly an A-level threat, yet it was simply detained.
Although one of its powers was suppressed by the White Silk Ghost, the instant-kill patterns were not something any Ghost Tamer could easily withstand.
Even those who had bound two Malevolent Ghosts before might be killed by it.
This proved Qin Feng's strength was not ordinary.
Or perhaps he harbored unknown secrets.
But headquarters didn't care whether you were a white cat or a black cat — only that you could catch ghosts.
Right now, the country, indeed the entire world, was overwhelmed by escalating Paranormal Incidents, and the situation was urgent.
Every growing Ghost Tamer was valued.
Therefore, a newcomer like Qin Feng with such brilliant achievements was considered a promising rising star.
They also subconsciously overlooked the tricks hidden in the Hiding Ghost and Hanging Ghost cases.
Because Qin Feng was valuable enough to make them tolerate almost anything.
"Your purpose here is to promote Qin Feng to Second-Level Sergeant, correct?"
"Heh, given his strength and circumstances, not just Second-Level — even Third-Level Sergeant is easily within his reach," Situ Wenhua smiled.
From the Hanging Ghost file, Qin Feng had already bound the ghost eye, and was suspected of taming the White Silk Ghost as well.
So he had at least two Malevolent Ghosts under his control.
His strength already surpassed Liu Ming.
The only shortcomings were his greed and recklessness.
Yes, the embezzlement in the Hiding Ghost incident was no secret to headquarters.
And the Hanging Ghost incident revealed Qin Feng's recklessness.
However, both Dong and Situ considered these minor flaws.
Money? Headquarters had plenty.
Recklessness? It actually improved the success rate of handling Paranormal Incidents.
"Since Minister Situ says so, then I am at ease."
Dong's purpose was to promote Qin Feng because Liu Ming was scheduled today to attempt taming his second Malevolent Ghost.
If Liu Ming failed, Qin Feng would step up as Jiangcheng City's official lead.
He had a strong intuition that Qin Feng's future achievements would be great — perhaps even capable of pulling the nation out of the Paranormal Incident quagmire.
"I approve it. If Qin Feng weren't a rookie, given he has bound two ghosts already, I would promote him directly to Third-Level Sergeant."
Situ Wenhua was clearly optimistic about Qin Feng, with a high opinion of him.
From his perfect taming of the ghost hand, solving three Paranormal Incidents in three days, to the last one — a Hanging Ghost as terrifying as an A-level, plus taming its ghost eye — how could he not be impressive?
What neither of them knew was that Qin Feng had actually bound four ghosts,
including a globally ranked terrifying ghost dream.
If they found out, their hearts would probably jump out of their throats.
