Chapter 10
Arriving in Beijing.
City center.
In the center of the entire city stood a towering skyscraper, piercing into the clouds.
Standing at the top of the building, one could overlook the entire city.
Seeing this majestic structure, Wang Ye couldn't help but twitch his mouth corner. Seeing Sun Qian's proud introduction, he was completely speechless.
If he remembered correctly, the headquarters of Tian Group, also this skyscraper, would have a grade A spiritual event in about three years.
Because this building...
Was so tall that the people upstairs had no time to escape at all.
Many died.
After that, Tian Group learned its lesson and changed to row houses instead...
Entering the building, the spacious first floor only had a simple front desk, where a pretty girl greeted them with a smile.
"You must be Wang Ye?"
Wang Ye nodded lightly.
"I have received the Minister's notice to take you to the assessment. Please come with me." The girl had a professional smile and said.
She then opened the elevator and pressed the button for the 13th floor.
"Good luck. I will not be responsible for what comes next." Sun Qian stood at the elevator and smiled at Wang Ye, then left.
As the girl left, the 13th floor became completely quiet.
A chill crept in, and Wang Ye frowned slightly.
A B-rank assessment task was to independently seal a lone ghost? The difficulty was a bit high.
Given the current level of espers, most could not seal ghosts alone, but worked in small teams instead.
Tian Group was overestimating itself a little too much.
And Tian Group seemed a bit too bold, to actually release a ghost in their headquarters. Any mistake could lead to severe losses.
Unknowingly, the lights seemed to be affected by the magnetic field, flickering uncertainly.
"It's starting."
Sensing the changing atmosphere, Wang Ye murmured.
A linen rope slid out from his left sleeve into his hand.
On his right hand index and middle fingers, a golden needle made entirely of gold appeared at some point.
After making sufficient preparations, Wang Ye did not act immediately, but instead stood in place as if waiting for something.
Before figuring out the ghost's killing pattern, any extra action could cost his life.
...
"This young man is quite calm."
Behind the huge screen, a middle-aged man nodded unconsciously as he watched Wang Ye.
Staying calm in crisis, his mentality was decent.
"But after all he is an ordinary person. Do you really think he can seal a ghost alone? Even if it is an engineered ghost."
Beside the middle-aged man, a young man with long flowing hair frowned, his eyes full of doubt.
"Heh, why force him to be able to seal the ghost? After all this is just an assessment, not a mission, right?" The middle-aged man chuckled.
The young man's eyes were deep, and he said no more.
...
Three minutes later.
Other than feeling a bit chilled, Wang Ye had no other anomalies.
"Is it hiding?"
"Or have I not triggered its killing pattern?"
Wang Ye frowned, surveying his surroundings under the flickering lights.
"Looks like waiting idly won't work..."
Wang Ye's mouth hooked into a strange smile. Indeed, such an assessment wouldn't be so simple. In that case, why not take the initiative to attack?
In his previous life, he had always believed in this principle...
As long as you grasp the ghost's killing pattern, even an ordinary person can easily contain it.
Of course...
For unsolvable ones, and those that kill indiscriminately...
One could only pray to live a while longer.
Wang Ye walked forward slowly, but no matter how he walked, he remained firmly in the spacious central area.
Leaning against walls and such...
That was like asking to die.
He might not even know when the ghost appeared and attacked, dying inexplicably.
But what Wang Ye didn't notice was...
As he walked forward, his shadow remained eerily in its original spot, shaking nonstop.
After a long while...
The shadow struggled and slowly rose from the ground, tilting its head as it watched Wang Ye's receding figure, then hid itself in the darkness and quietly followed.
"Nothing?"
After searching the entire floor, Wang Ye muttered.
That would make sense...
If it was a very aggressive ghost, then this assessment would be no different from murder.
But it seemed now that the most difficult part of this task was not the final sealing, but finding it.
Hide and seek?
Interesting.
A weird smile appeared at the corner of Wang Ye's mouth, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Foolish ordinary person."
The long-haired youth yawned boredly, having completely lost interest in Wang Ye.
In his perspective, Wang Ye was like an idiot, swaying around pointlessly.
"No, look closely."
The middle-aged man's mouth hooked into a smile. "It seems he has noticed something wrong already."
"It's barely been 10 minutes."
"I remember it took you about 30 minutes before you noticed something off in this assessment, right?"
The middle-aged man said, pointing at Wang Ye who had stopped moving on the screen.
"Hmph!" The long-haired youth snorted disdainfully, but his gaze returned to the screen.
...
"There are very few places to hide in the entire floor."
"So where is it..."
Wang Ye closed his eyes, picturing the floor plan in his mind, pondering continuously.
One minute later.
Wang Ye's eyes shot open, a smile floating at the corner of his mouth.
"Found you!"
