Ghost Compendium-Chapter 438 - 383: The Missing Supervisor!_2

Wu Liang didn’t even take the last Prince of Fierce Ghosts from the Golden City seriously, so how could he be enchanted by a blonde, blue-eyed voluptuous woman?

Bang—

As soon as the words were out, Kelly felt a strong sense of suffocation surge to her brain.

The pair of large hands that had crushed countless bullets were already gripping her throat tightly, the monstrous strength seeming capable of smashing it at any moment.

"Make your companions calm down. If another bullet comes this way, I’ll use your body to block it."

Wu Liang’s voice was as cold as a bone-chilling gale from the polar regions, sending a chill straight to Kelly’s heart.

She was one hundred percent sure that the lunatic choking her would absolutely carry out such a threat.

Feeling the other loosen his grip slightly to let her catch her breath, Kelly quickly raised her hand to signal her companions to stop.

Then, her eyes returned to normal, and she asked hoarsely, "Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?"

After this skirmish, she had been jolted awake by Wu Liang.

Since the other possessed the ability to wipe them all out at any time, why bother with such small, mysterious actions?

Seeing the woman he was holding finally calm down, Wu Liang tossed her back toward the car as if discarding trash.

Thud—

The strong woman on the back seat holding a Gatling gun quickly jumped up to catch Kelly, who was thrown back.

The look in their eyes toward Wu Liang had changed from doubt at the beginning to terror.

"I’ve already mentioned my identity — the Ghost Hunter sent by Huaxia to assist you. Now, can you kindly explain the current situation? Don’t try to lie; I can tell the difference between truth and falsehood." Wu Liang casually said as he patted the dust off his hands from shattering the bullets.

He could forcibly subdue the group using Nightmare and read their memories.

But such an approach seemed too brutish, as he was there to help them eliminate the National Destruction Level Fierce Ghost.

After all, they were supposed to be on the same side, not enemies, so there was no need for such measures.

However, it was indeed unexpected that they had directly shot and confronted him.

What exactly had happened to make them so sensitive and ruthless?

"Are you serious? Sent by Huaxia to help us?" Kelly asked confusedly with a frown, "But we haven’t even sent any request for help overseas!"

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Now it was Wu Liang’s turn to be stunned.

What did she mean by they hadn’t sent any request for help overseas?

Was the plea for help that Director Long received fabricated?

Seeing Wu Liang’s stunned look, Kelly continued to explain, "We once had such thoughts, but rather than saying we didn’t send for help, it’s more that we couldn’t. Transmitting information to nearby small countries might be possible, but seeking help from Huaxia such a long distance away is too difficult."

"Boss, she’s not lying." The voice of Nightmare timely rang in Wu Liang’s ear.

Even without directly searching her memories, it could determine truth from lies by the soul’s fluctuations during conversation.

Clearly, Kelly was genuinely perplexed about where Wu Liang came from and genuinely unaware of the request for help.

At this point, Wu Liang didn’t immediately answer Kelly.

He leaned silently against a lamppost at the roadside, pondering everything that had happened so far.

Not far away, Kelly and the others, seeing his demeanor, naturally dared not act rashly.

The group remained awkwardly in the street bustling with pedestrians in the night market, the people around them oblivious to how their lives hung in the balance in those few short minutes.

About three minutes later, Wu Liang let out a heavy breath.

"Phew—figured it out. My side shouldn’t have any problems." He turned his head to Kelly and the others, sneering, "It’s your side that’s got the problem! Didn’t you realize that?"

Kelly frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean by ’we have a problem’?"

Hearing her bewilderment, Wu Liang was even more convinced of his judgment.

No longer leaning against the lamp post, he walked casually to a nearby pedestrian. Under the power of the Mist Ghost, Wu Liang could choose to be invisible to ordinary passersby.

He pointed at the pedestrian, questioning, "You’ve almost been completely forgotten by these people, right? Haven’t you realized that not only are you the forgotten ones, but you’re also the ones forgetting? You’ve also forgotten something or someone."

At this statement, Kelly’s pupils contracted several times.

An indescribable fear enveloped her heart, and a chilling possibility hinted at by Wu Liang’s words caught her attention.

Unable to accept it, she pinched her arm slightly, the slight pain jolting her back to clarity.

Then, in a dry, hesitant tone, she said, "You’re saying... the request for help was indeed sent by one of our leaders, but we’ve completely forgotten them?"

"Correct, quick thinking."

Wu Liang’s playful demeanor made Kelly wonder if he was toying with her, but if it was true, their danger was not approaching but had already been present for a long time.

They couldn’t determine how many companions had been forgotten by them.

And what were those forgotten people doing now?

"Unfortunately, those completely forgotten are unlikely to appear again. I hope you remember the companions you still recognize. This is no longer a child’s play like City-annihilating Ghosts."

The next second, the youthful oriental boy in front seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance.

Wu Liang’s words plunged Kelly further into despair.

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself, she looked seriously at Wu Liang and asked, "Then, may I ask what your code name is? I remember that Huaxia’s Special Ability Users all have code names, right?"

If Wu Liang could say a clear code name, Kelly could try to verify its authenticity.

After all, their database did contain many past code names of Huaxia’s official Awakened. Hopefully, Wu Liang wasn’t a newcomer to the official ranks.

"Hmm... Code name, haven’t used it in a while, if I remember correctly it should be—Shadow, or ’Journalist,’ which one sounds familiar to you?" Wu Liang said indifferently.

But once he reported these two names, Kelly was so startled her hand trembled, and the strong woman holding the Gatling dashed toward Wu Liang in excitement.

Her eyes lit up with admiration as she exclaimed, "You! You’re the Shadow? The one from Huaxia’s Chengyang City, who battled in the first City Destruction case of the peacetime era, fought the Pioneer of the Promised Land in Shenhu City’s Supernatural Calamity, a super Awakened who mastered the ability to control multiple Fierce Ghosts!?"

Hearing the other recite his deeds as if they were household tales, Wu Liang was instead taken aback.

He had thought these foreign Special Ability Users might be familiar with the code names, but didn’t expect such familiarity!

Seeing his puzzled expression, Kelly stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Shadow, your cases have been studied by major countries, especially Chengyang City’s battle against city destruction. The world is grateful for Huaxia’s selfless sharing of intelligence, which better prepared us for the second Supernatural Calamity against powerful Fierce Ghosts."

"..."

Wu Liang now had lines of black across his forehead, with only one thought in mind—Director Long gave away the intelligence for free? Could’ve at least charged something!

At least let me have a share of the profits!

But now, he could only smile and modestly say in a hypocritical tone, "It’s nothing, it’s what we in Huaxia should do for the safety of all humanity. Since you know my identity, let’s quickly meet with the others. I need to confirm the extent of your country’s current situation."

He just wanted to change the subject quickly!

The urgent matter at hand was the Nation-Destroying Level event!
