CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 45: EVIDENCE ROOM? ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT CAFETERIA!

Wu Liang originally thought that coming to the official base today was just to accomplish two things.

First, establish the existence of his brother Wu Ming, and second, understand the internal operations of the organization.

But he never imagined that he would have two additional gains besides these!

First, he discovered that there are powerful figures like Minister Long within the organization and learned about the existence of symbionts.

Then, Wu Liang found information that would greatly benefit him—

"Captain He, are you really going to take these things out and burn them?"

Having completed the data entry, Wu Liang was now standing in front of a red-themed flat building, watching He Zhan continuously pick a few miscellaneous items from inside and seal them in bags.

This area had about five of these red buildings, according to He Zhan, this was the evidence room!

Inside, there were mostly Fierce Ghosts that had completely lost their power after supernatural events were dealt with.

And some items, which although not Fierce Ghosts, possessed supernatural properties were also stored inside.

This included pieces of the Teapot Ghost and the model head of the Puppet Ghost processed in the morning, all kept in here.

"Hmm, the fragments of Fierce Ghosts inside here are cleaned out once a month; items stored for more than half a year are removed," replied He Zhan.

While speaking, he looked at the labels and found an alarm clock with the sticker "Disaster Calendar January 2, Year 05" and placed it in a sealed bag.

The half-year storage was to prevent the supernatural nature from lingering on the body of the Fierce Ghost after exorcism; this required submission from the evidence room to the research institute for further exploration.

To provide material for humans to study the existence of Fierce Ghosts and the revival of supernatural entities.

But most Fierce Ghosts lose their power after exorcism, turning into ordinary objects; if there is no anomaly after half a year, they will be cleared out and incinerated.

"Uh, does it have to be burned? Can’t we keep them as collections?" Wu Liang said awkwardly, scratching his face.

So many good things!

You’re just taking them all to burn!? Damn!

Wu Liang glanced inside, at least there were dozens of supernatural items and Fierce Ghost fragments, these things made him itch with desire!

This isn’t an evidence room!

It’s completely a canteen prepared for me!

The seven hungry Fierce Ghost minions under his command could indeed consume the bodies of other Fierce Ghosts to strengthen themselves, even if the Fierce Ghosts had been exorcised, it was fine!

If he could feed all the items in the evidence room to his Fierce Ghost minions, Wu Liang couldn’t imagine how much they could be strengthened!

"Keep them? It’s not impossible, but you need to write a report and submit it to Minister Long for approval." He Zhan looked at Wu Ming curiously.

In his eyes, these things, soon to be cleared out, were essentially no different from garbage and miscellaneous items, just that regulations required them to be burned.

Going to bother Minister Long for this bit of miscellaneous stuff is indeed making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Tell me, how should I write the report? I’ll go find him."

While speaking, Wu Liang took out paper and pen from his pocket, ready to start writing the report.

As an excellent journalist, Wu Liang always carried paper and pen with him in case he needed to record something.

This professional ethics, compared to the ridiculous things he did in school, makes the contrast even more dramatic.

"Huh? You really want to?"

Faced with this odd request, He Zhan had nothing to say, so he could only advise him to finish the report and handed over the bag of items that were to be taken for incineration.

Watching Wu Ming dash off to find Minister Long, He Zhan couldn’t help but cover his face and sigh.

"Why does it feel like this guy is becoming more and more like his brother... Birds of the same feather flock together!"

......

Not long after, Wu Liang put the written report in front of Minister Long requesting a stamp.

The other party, holding the stamp, was similarly puzzled: "What use do you have for these scraps?"

Yet, Wu Liang just scratched the back of his head and sheepishly explained: "Ever since I became a symbiont, I have a strong craving for such supernatural items, I even have to sleep on a coffin board!"

"But these things have lost their supernatural properties, now they’re just a pile of garbage!"

Minister Long also knew that almost everyone develops some sort of eccentricity after becoming a symbiont.

After all, with a Fierce Ghost and a living person sharing a body, that kind of distorted thinking logic will also affect the spiritual power of the living person, leading to significant changes in personality and behavior.

For example, previously, he was quite reclusive and taciturn, but now he is not only bold and cheerful but also has a quirk of constantly twisting a Magic Cube.

But never had they heard of a symbiont whose quirk was collecting fierce ghost body fragments!

Logically speaking, even if coexisting with a living person, Fierce Ghosts should instinctively dislike their kind.

Just what kind of freak is the Fierce Ghost that coexists with Wu Ming?

"Don’t even say, yes, you don’t even say, it’s these kinds of things that I want, even if it’s really a ticking bomb with supernatural properties under my head, I wouldn’t sleep peacefully."

Under Wu Liang’s rambling, Minister Long still stamped it, allowing him to take away items from the evidence room.

The premise was that he could only take fragments due to be incinerated and confirmed to have lost their supernatural properties.

But that’s enough!

The fragments that needed clearing from He Zhan’s hands this month total fifteen pieces!

Even if these items are not complete Fierce Ghost bodies, combined, it’s almost like having three complete Fierce Ghosts.

"It’s like I fed them four Fierce Ghosts today!"

Walking out of Minister Long’s office, Wu Liang couldn’t help but show a bright smile, this was indeed a great harvest!

Moreover, because Mist Ghost’s abilities upgraded after devouring Puppet Ghost, Wu Liang suspected the other Fierce Ghost minions’ abilities might also be on the verge of upgrading.

Maybe if he feeds them more Fierce Ghost bodies, other abilities will follow suit and start upgrading!

Now there is still nearly a year before the second supernatural calamity strikes, he can come to the official evidence room every month to apply to take away fragments needing incineration.

Accumulating bits turns into abundance! Isn’t this a pure buffet?

I just feel like someone is missing?

Aren’t all his Fierce Ghost minions staying in the Ghost Compendium? Who can’t have this buffet?

"Finished the approval? Let me take you to the treatment room to get familiar, and check on Liuyun too." He Zhan’s voice sounded from behind, interrupting his thoughts.

For this newly assigned teammate to his squad, the others should also get to know Wu Ming.

"Sure, no problem!"

......

"There’s a huge problem here!"

The officials responsible for cleaning the site at the slaughterhouse shouted.

They had to undergo interviews by TV reporters after finishing the cleanup work, this process had become quite familiar, except for this little reporter who looked unfamiliar, it should have been the same as before.

But today something went wrong!

"Not a single Fierce Ghost fragment was found? No! Increase manpower and search more! Leave no detail overlooked!" ordered the cleanup supervisor.

Unaware that not far from him, in the TV station official vehicle, the unfamiliar little reporter was holding a small bag of Bone-Stripping Knife fragments.

Just like popping candy into his mouth, he was chomping crunchily on these Fierce Ghost fragments.

The Puppet Ghost, while digesting the Fierce Ghost fragments, was secretly rejoicing—

"Haha, staying behind to quietly enjoy the buffet, although being hit till fragmented isn’t effective, at least I can enjoy the flavor! Those colleagues on the business trip with the boss are really pitiful!"

"Won’t the brothers be starving all the time?"

"I really hit the jackpot..."
