"Boss, could you weld this thing for me? Just seal it up, rough work is fine," said Yang Jian, pulling up at an aluminum alloy door and window shop that was still open. He handed over the golden box to be welded shut.
As the boss began his work with the electric welding torch, he noticed a crimson stain seeping out as the gold foil melted. "What is this thing? It's bleeding?" the boss exclaimed, startled.
"It's chicken blood, used for exorcism purposes," Yang Jian casually fabricated a lie.
"I see," the boss replied, not asking any further questions, as long as there was money to be made.
"Indeed, if not sealed, the ghost's power would seep out... Fortunately, there's the ghost blood left by Yan Li to suppress it, but such suppression seems not to last long. Once the blood is exhausted, the ghost will surely escape again. Only by sealing the gap can we be free from worry," Yang Jian thought to himself.
He was cautious and immediately came to seal the box.
If he had delayed even a little, the ghost would have been caught in vain.
After paying, he took back the box and returned to his car.
"What is this thing? So important, it looks like gold..." Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"You should not ask about things that do not concern you. This thing is very important to me," Yang Jian said.
Jiang Yan was a smart woman. Seeing Yang Jian's serious expression, she tactfully stopped asking questions.
Soon, the car pulled into a residential area.
"Come in, make yourself at home. This is my rented bachelor apartment. I live alone usually, and you can stay here for a few days if you like," Jiang Yan offered.
"I won't stay for long. I'll leave in a few days... Also, keep my affairs a secret, it won't be good for you if you don't," Yang Jian said earnestly.
He was mainly afraid that Jiang Yan would leak the news about the golden box.
At present, this thing was the most precious.
"I'm going to take a shower. You figure it out," Yang Jian said.
"?" Jiang Yan was stunned.
Shouldn't I be the one saying that?
"Can I borrow your car? I'm going out to buy something, I haven't had dinner yet," Jiang Yan said.
"Take it. I'm a bit hungry too, just bring me a fried rice with egg," Yang Jian said.
"Okay, take your time showering, I'll be back," Jiang Yan smiled, took the car keys and left.
Yang Jian watched the woman leave and thought for a moment, feeling that having her around for a short period was not a bad thing, and she had already confirmed that she was not a ghost.
Having someone to take care of his life would be reassuring.
Of course, as an invisible exchange, he would be responsible for Jiang Yan's safety, at least during the time they lived together.
"Right, if gold can restrain ghosts, then the demand for gold in various countries will increase, and the price of gold will continue to rise... Yan Li also mentioned that the price of gold has been rising quickly recently. I currently have more than ten million in cash, and if I don't need it for a while, I can try to speculate on gold. I don't expect to make a lot, but an extra one or two million would be good."
"Hmm, I can ask Jiang Yan about this later. She's an accountant and should understand financial knowledge."
While taking a shower, Yang Jian looked at the sealed golden box in front of him and began to consider his next arrangements and plans.
"Yan Li needs some time to contact buyers, but he mentioned a club that only ghost riders can join before. It's very necessary to ask about it."
"But the International Criminal Police seems more complicated than I thought... In addition to putting the method of suppressing the revival of fierce ghosts as the primary goal, the second goal is to confirm my position and identity."
Yang Jian's eyes flickered: "This step is also very important, but the specific choice depends on the risks and benefits of each. Only by understanding the situation and comparing them can the right decision be made."
After thinking for a while.
He still made a call to the Asian division.
The operator was still Liu Xiaoyu.
"Hello, is this Yang Jian?" Liu Xiaoyu's voice was a bit awkward, as if she was eating.
"It's me," Yang Jian said.
"Today I have received your action report. The police team in Dachang City said that you encountered a supernatural event at Furen Mall... How is the situation?"
Liu Xiaoyu flipped through the report records and said, "Is there a new ghost?"
Yang Jian said, "Your information is still very fast. You've received the news in less than two hours."
"That's because someone called the police. The police's information files will be uploaded first, in addition, that Li Ming who accused you of extortion, yes, him, the manager of Furen Mall, the police have confirmed it is a false accusation, because he voluntarily withdrew the case and admitted his mistake, and was sentenced to six months in prison, you have no objection, right."
"I'm not an international police officer, what can I say, that supernatural event has been resolved, you don't have to worry, I called you this time mainly to understand what the International Criminal Police is, what kind of existence is it?"
Liu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the police are a special police force that maintains local security... They have the right to mobilize all the police in the jurisdiction, and can apply for military assistance when necessary, with high freedom of action, but must operate within the city, and are also responsible for handling supernatural events in a city."
"Is that all?"
"Are you asking about the treatment."
Liu Xiaoyu said, "The treatment of international police officers across the country is different. Take the Asian division as an example, in addition to the treatment of the position, there is also a police subsidy, one supernatural event is... one million, the first one is two hundred thousand, one million is the latest subsidy standard, and also has the right to use one hundred kilograms of gold. If a ghost is successfully imprisoned and contained, in addition to being credited once, the country will reward ten million, and increase the allocation of gold. As for some free housing, family care and so on, it's a local matter, I won't go into detail here."
"How about information?"
Yang Jian said, "Fierce ghosts appear all over the country, don't tell me that countries have not studied and analyzed the existence of ghosts."
"In this regard, it is still in the experimental stage, I don't know, but it can be affirmed that once any research results come out, you will be the first to know."
Yang Jian pondered.
Sure enough, the guess was right, countries are studying this aspect, but there has been no breakthrough progress, still trying... Or there are results, but they have not been announced.
But the welfare of becoming an international police officer is really good, although the money is not much, but it is enough for a person to be worry-free in the future.
The most important thing is that the rights and status of international police officers are very high.
"If I become an international police officer, can you talk about the obligations and responsibilities?"
Liu Xiaoyu replied, "If you want to become an international police officer, I can arrange for someone to contact you and let you know everything you want to know, but to become a formal international police officer, you need to go through a systematic training and a mental assessment, it's not that easy."
"Especially the mental assessment is very important. I have asked you several times about your mental condition, because most of the time, people who drive fierce ghosts will be influenced by fierce ghosts in a subtle way, and this influence is irreversible. Some people are too seriously affected and will have mental disorders, collapse, or even a tendency to self-destruction."
"Some people cannot bear the great mental pressure, and they will have mental breakdowns, start to give up on themselves, and become a complete madman."
"Are you saying that most ghost riders are mentally abnormal?"
Yang Jian frowned.
Liu Xiaoyu replied, "No, you can't regard them as abnormal. Perhaps in their eyes, we are the abnormal ones. They are just influenced by fierce ghosts, and they don't even know they will become like this."
"In addition, the chat record between you and me will be sent to a dedicated analyst to analyze and assess your mental state. It can be affirmed that your mental condition is very good, and the degree of influence of fierce ghosts on you is not large, so I hope you become a police officer and serve the country."
"Let me think about it, okay, let's talk here today, and I will find you next time there is something."
After Yang Jian finished asking, he hung up the phone.
After hearing Yang Jian hang up the phone.
Liu Xiaoyu's notes stopped, and she frowned.
"Liu Xiaoyu, how is Yang Jian? He is a potential seedling, don't give up, keep an eye on it, just how long has he become a ghost rider, and he has successfully resolved a supernatural event, I saw that report, very good, within half an hour, successfully imprisoned a restricted level ghost, this is even experienced old police officers can't do it."
"Although it is because of the cooperation with that ghost rider named Yan Li, we cannot deny his contribution."
Beside, Captain Zhao Jianguo came over and said in a deep voice.
He had several photos in his hand, all taken by the surveillance camera, one of which was a photo of Yang Jian getting out of the car to weld the golden box.
"Captain, he has already made contact with other ghost riders, and he may have already had a wavering mood, and may not be able to join the police smoothly," Liu Xiaoyu said.
"But he is not against the police, right? After all, his life was saved by Zhou Zheng, he is very fond of the police, I can feel it, if it were someone else, there would be people who would curse directly, and say that the police are what the court's hawks and dogs... There are also some people who even want to strangle the operator through the phone line, and the operator was so scared that he hung up the communication directly."
Zhao Jianguo laughed.
"The captain is right, I will definitely take down this Yang Jian and let him join the International Criminal Police."
"Pay attention to the measure, especially to care about his mental condition, after all, the mental pressure of becoming a ghost rider is very huge, and when he knows that he is about to die, people are very easy to go on a wrong path, you can't take the way of imposing righteousness to make Yang Jian obey, should start from the mutual benefit cooperation, it is very good now."
"He is not a police officer, but he has solved a supernatural event for the country, if he does not have any kind of threat, your cooperative relationship can be maintained until he is willing to join the International Criminal Police." Zhao Jianguo said.
