Chapter 500: 277 Asking how someone died? Are you going to seek revenge for them? (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets! Third update!)
On the bus, the officer was registering the identity of the female ghost.
"Name!"
Female ghost: "Panjia Shi."
"Age!"
Female ghost: "Over five hundred years old, I suppose..."
"Where are you from, ghost?"
Female ghost: "..."
"Local ghost."
"How did you die?"
Holding a bellyful of anger, the female ghost glanced at the Taoists beside her and said, "Don’t go too far!"
Seeing the female ghost’s emotions obviously going through violent fluctuations,
an old officer came over and stopped the young comrade who was taking notes.
"Alright, alright, what’s the point of asking these questions?"
The old officer didn’t know what else to say.
This young officer, just graduated from the police academy and newly assigned, didn’t understand anything yet—speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.
It’s one thing to ask these questions of a living person.
But of a ghost who’s been dead for over five hundred years, you’re asking all this mess of questions.
Asking her how she died—
What, you planning to time travel back to avenge her?
After five hundred years, even if she was wronged to death, could you still catch the murderer and solve the case?
The old officer directly advised the newcomer to back off.
Then he greeted Professor Cao.
Wanjiang City had been informed of the Magic Master Conference.
After all, it was a convention organized by the Dragon Country officials, and the superiors wanted to establish a special department.
They required the full support of the local police.
A few days ago, there had been a meeting with senior leaders at their police station.
Some parts of the security for this conference were to be maintained with the cooperation of the police.
As for Professor Cao, they had met him before.
Professor Cao was one of the main leaders organizing these Magic Master Conferences.
He had been at their branch meeting too.
The old officer said, "Professor Cao, are you heading to the venue?"
Professor Cao nodded, "Yes, I specifically went to Longguang City to invite the Heavenly Master and the fellow Taoist priests to attend this Magic Master Conference. Also, the Heavenly Master is to act as the Chief Judge for this Magic Master Conference."
"I see, then what’s the deal with this female ghost?"
Professor Cao spoke, "That was... purely an accident. We set out from Longguang City at three in the morning, and this female ghost boarded our bus halfway. Maybe she came to absorb yang energy, but she wasn’t very lucky and got subdued by the Heavenly Master and the Taoists."
The old officer asked, "Then may I know what the Taoists and the Heavenly Master plan to do with this female ghost?"
Gold-robed Qin Hao slowly stood up and said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, layman, this female ghost is of use to us. She’s needed for today’s Magic Master Conference. What, does the police force want this female ghost? We could give her to you, and we’ll catch another one later."
Qin Hao looked towards the officers.
He understood from the old officer’s intent that they seemed to want to know how they would deal with the female ghost.
Qin Hao thought the police might want to take this female ghost back for interrogation or something, and he indicated that he didn’t care—they could take her if they wanted, and if not, he could simply catch another one later.
Three-legged toads might be hard to come by, but for a Taoist priest, catching two-legged wandering ghosts was a breeze.
Hearing the Heavenly Master say this, the officers suddenly showed an awkward smile and waived their hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, the Heavenly Master jests. We can’t handle this female ghost; you should take her."
The idea made them chuckle—where would they keep a female ghost if they took her back?
The detention center?
Can a physical jail cell hold a ghost?
The female ghost seemed meek and clever now in front of the Taoists because she was suppressed by the presence of the Heavenly Master and other Taoists.
Taking this female ghost back would surely cause a big mess.
Who among them could contain such a supernatural entity?
Of course, they didn’t want this female ghost.
Seeing that the police didn’t want her,
Qin Hao said, "Then the poor Taoist will take her away."
With a wave of his hand, Qin Hao collected the female ghost into the Purple Gourd.
When the police saw that the so-called supernatural event was resolved by the Taoists so easily, they just packed up and left.
This bus was for carrying the Taoists from Qingyun Mountain.
And with Professor Cao on board,
what else did they need to check?
They simply let them go through.
The bus continued towards the city center.
Soon, it arrived at the venue,
the site of the Magic Master Conference officially hosted by Dragon Country.
The Taoists got off.
Professor Cao began, "Over the years, there have been numerous incidents involving Transcendents overseas. The Transcendents of the United States have been acting increasingly brazenly, not even bothering to conceal their actions. A lot of cross-border Transcendent incidents have also occurred near our Dragon Country, making the news regularly.
The official hosting of this Magic Master Conference has two major purposes: one is to recruit talent, to manage the local Magic Masters of Dragon Country through official channels, to form an official special force, and to elevate the overall magical strength of our nation.
Second, it aims to reassure the public by showing off the power of Dragon Country and to confront and deter international Transcendents with the 606 special unit.
Therefore, this Magic Master Conference is set to take place inside Wanjiang City Stadium, without any deliberate concealment from the outside world; they’ve even allowed live broadcasting!"
During Qin Hao’s time in the Yunnan Underground World, some Transcendents overseas had indeed been quite rampant lately.
Dragon Country, however, was relatively better off.
After all, there were still experts stationed within Dragon Country.
But not all smaller nations were so lucky, having to face Transcendents who act with impunity, looting, killing, and stealing resources.
It could be said that Blue Star was quite chaotic externally.
Many within Dragon Country were also panicked, fearing foreign Transcendents might invade.
Thus, Professor Cao and others bringing back artifacts from the cultivation civilization of the Yunnan Underground World
was met with immense delight by the Dragon Country’s upper echelons.
On one hand, the authorities were studying these artifacts from the cultivation civilization.
On the other hand, they felt there were too many Transcendents abroad.
They had indeed been causing quite a ruckus these years.
Dragon Country could no longer be a mere observer.
There were not a few powerful individuals with magic heritage among the common people.
Together, these Magic Masters represented a force that could not be ignored.
So, the official hosting of this Magic Master Conference would help recruit talent and demonstrate strength to the outside world, thereby deterring that Transcendent community.
Since they wanted to deter, they shouldn’t block information. Therefore, the officials permit the general public to enter the venue to watch the competition, with official media and civilian live streams broadcasting the event.
This was bound to promote information spread, and those international Transcendents would surely watch this live broadcast.
This perfectly served the intention of Dragon Country’s officials.
Hearing Professor Cao’s words, Qin Hao nodded, "Deterring foreign enemies is indeed a good method, but to intimidate others, you must show sufficient strength to do so."
Professor Cao also nodded and said, "That’s why, this time, the higher-ups have brought out several Divine Weapons and Treasures as the rewards for the Magic Master Competition, and there will also be a showcase of their power. Presumably, that will be enough to intimidate those international Transcendents."
They brought back numerous Divine Weapons and Treasures from the Yunnan Underground World.
Though many of those Divine Weapons and Treasures were damaged from battle,
most were still immensely powerful.
Using them on Blue Star was absolutely more than sufficient.
The Dragon Country’s higher-ups putting forward a few Divine Weapons and Treasures as rewards, while simultaneously showcasing the power of Dragon Country’s Divine Weapons and Treasures, was an excellent idea.
