After learning about the power and price of the comb, Lin Fanyun no longer paid attention to the young man.
He was thinking about how he could get the use of the comb from the Secret Bureau.
The ghost users in the secret bureau can apply for permission to use ghost creatures in addition to the ghosts they have sealed themselves.
But as someone who had just joined, he was not qualified yet.
The main reason why Lin Fanyun wanted the comb was the ability to blur. If he guessed correctly, it should be a manifestation of spatial ability.
When the physical body reaches the fourth level of Dharmakāya, he will be able to come into contact with the power of space. However, he needs to slowly comprehend and explore it on his own. If he has space-related martial arts or items with space power, it will undoubtedly shorten the time he takes to explore the power of space.
"No need to rush, and I can first find out the background of Qu City and Bao Province's Secret Bureau. Maybe there will be a ghost that is more suitable than a comb."
Lin Fanyun is not very urgent in this regard.
And because he used his ability twice during this investigation, although Lin Fanyun had no physical or mental discomfort, he would not be able to go to the front line for at least two months.
This is the vacation every ghost will have after using their abilities, giving them time to recover and adjust.
Depending on the situation, some ghosts will take a break for one to three years at a time.
Lin Fanyun didn't think there was a problem. It was a good thing this way. He could stay in the bureau and get a deeper understanding of all aspects of the secret bureau.
Although with Lin Fanyun's current qualifications, he is still unable to read very confidential documents.
But the files and archives within Lin Fanyun's authority opened his eyes.
All kinds of strange ghosts and ghost creatures, with their jaw-dropping abilities and killing patterns, made Lin Fanyun extremely excited.
Not only that, during the two months he stayed in the bureau to recuperate, he also got to know the secret bureau's regular technological weapons.
These weapons are not only used by peripheral members, but also by ghosts.
Many problems can be solved by using these weapons, reducing the ghost's ability to use and the need for ghosts, and greatly increasing the ghost's ability to survive.
The multi-functional pistol that Lin Fanyun is using now is just an ordinary standard weapon.
Although it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain, it is only slightly better than the pistols used by ordinary police officers.
"Then I can consider exchanging some weapons. This will also reduce the number of times I have to take action and lower the possibility of being exposed." Lin Fanyun counted the things he wanted to do, which were increasing day by day, but none of them had been accomplished yet.
His qualifications and resources limited his development at this time.
He doesn't have any better solution, he can only be patient and take his time to persevere, and this is exactly his advantage.
"The horror of ghosts and evil spirits is obvious, but their existence is still unknown to the general public. We cannot ignore the strength of the Great Xia Kingdom." Lin Fanyun was alert in his heart.
Let’s not talk about ghosts for now, and just talk about their lethality.
The Great Xia Kingdom was able to hide it tightly, and over the past few hundred years, the total population not only did not decrease, but increased several times. According to the published population numbers, it is a full 20 billion people, which shows the capability of the Great Xia Kingdom.
If the Great Xia Kingdom didn't have something in its hands, the human race would have been killed by ghosts long ago.
It will not be like it is now, with a population of 20 billion distributed across dozens of planets and still increasing rapidly.
After resting for two months, Lin Fanyun underwent another examination and after confirming that he was in good condition, he returned to the front line again.
However, Meng Lao and Bai Haisang entered a state of rest. They had used their abilities in the past two months and needed
You need to enter a state of cultivation and adjustment.
Only Mr. Sun is still taking action.
He had only carried out two missions in a few short months, so to be on the safe side, Mr. Sun also needed to recuperate.
"This time it's Fengyu Town in Wanxi County, Hulu City next door. Many people have disappeared there recently. Something seems amiss, and we need to investigate." Old General Sun handed a document to Lin Fanyun.
Lin Fanyun flipped through the book and asked in confusion: "Hulu City? Isn't there a secret bureau there? Why do they need to transfer people from us?"
"There is a shortage of manpower over there too." Old Sun replied. If their Qu City Secret Bureau had not added two new forces, Lin Fanyun and Bai Haisang, they would have faced the problem of shortage of manpower from time to time. Every time after using their abilities, the recovery time is too long, but this time cannot be shortened, otherwise problems will easily arise.
Except for special periods, the Secret Bureau would not allow its ghosts to use their abilities multiple times in a short period of time.
"Besides, we still don't know what's going on in Fengyu Town. They hope to use your ability to figure out what went wrong over there." Old Sun gave another reason.
There are not many ghosts with strong perception abilities, such as Lin Fanyun's "Five Senses Trouble Ghost". It may not be suitable for frontal combat, but it is perfect for investigating and collecting intelligence.
Whether it's searching for clues, hiding, or sneaking around to save your life, the "Five Senses Troublemaker" is an expert at it.
And the victory in intelligence is enough to determine the outcome of the fifth level.
Lin Fanyun had no doubts. When he chose to disguise himself as a ghost, he had planned to be an auxiliary ghost who collected intelligence and would not confront ghosts head-on unless necessary.
Since he is an auxiliary ghost, it is normal for him to be borrowed.
After all, excellent people are in high demand everywhere.
Lin Fanyun packed some luggage and headed for Hulu City with just a backpack.
Although it is the next city, it is still several hundred miles away. It only takes an hour on the highway to reach the destination.
The people in the Hulu City Secret Bureau had already been notified that the person in charge of investigating Fengyu Town was a second-level ghost named Lin Yu.
He picked up Lin Fanyun outside the highway station and went directly to Fengyu Town. He was accompanied by six peripheral members who helped him. Each of them had their own strengths and could play a role.
It's swift and decisive, Lin Fanyun commented in his heart, otherwise there wouldn't even be Feng Xichen.
"Lin Yu, is there any more detailed information about the incident in Fengyu Town?" Lin Fanyun asked. The document that Old Sun gave him described part of it, but it was only a few words.
Lin Yu handed Lin Fanyun a thick stack of documents, roughly estimated to be more than three hundred pages.
"So many?" Lin Fanyun was surprised, but he didn't complain much. He looked through the books while communicating with Lin Yu.
The two of them will be working together for a while, and it wouldn't be good if they were too unfamiliar with each other.
"As for missing persons cases, they all happened on rainy nights. What do the local police say?" Lin Fanyun rubbed his brows. Hundreds of people disappeared in a small town. This was indeed no small matter.
The case files show that a few people went missing at first, and the police searched for them without success, so they didn’t take it too seriously.
Because these people left home on their own and then disappeared, the police suspected that they might have run away to have fun.
Nowadays, when people are unhappy, they like to go out and have fun without contacting anyone, calling it freedom, and they don't care at all about their family's panic.
Until more and more people went missing, including students and children, the police became furious.
Adults may be able to travel on their own to relax, but this is simply not possible for students and naive children.
Something is definitely wrong with them!
But the police searched Fengyu Town from top to bottom and still couldn't find these people.
After checking the surveillance footage, there was no footage of these people leaving Fengyu Town.
The matter was reported to the city, which immediately realized the unusualness of the incident and, while dispatching police support, informed the Hulu City Secret Bureau of the matter.
Lin Yu said: "The matter in Fengyu Town is being suppressed now, and it has not caused much disturbance in society, but the city can only suppress it for one or two months at most. If it is not resolved, it will be very troublesome."
"Especially here in Fengyu Town, there is already a lot of panic. Whether it is government officials, police, or us, we are all under great pressure."
Lin Yu asked: "Did you find anything in the files?"
Lin Fanyun had finished reading the files by this time.
"Not much has been discovered, and there is too little intelligence."
"However, a full 327 people are missing, and these are only the number that have been found and reported."
"The time span from the first recorded missing person to the latest is less than a month."
"The time is short, the number of people is large, and the more time passes, the more people will disappear each time. Although I don't know if there is an upper limit, if we can't solve it quickly, it is very likely that the entire Fengyu Town will be wiped out."
Lin Yu was not too surprised. "You said that. It seems that you also think this is related to ghosts."
"Well, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Unless the entire Hulu City is involved, we can only assume that it is related to ghosts." Lin Fanyun teased.
It is obviously impossible for the entire Hulu City to participate. Even if Hulu City rebelled against the Great Xia Kingdom, it would not be so united.
Lin Yu didn't feel anything, the ghost was indifferent.
The peripheral members sitting in the driver and co-pilot seats didn't feel anything either. Having seen so many tragedies, they were no longer easily angry.
It only took Lin Fanyun one hour to get from Qu City to Hulu City, but it took him two hours to get from Hulu City Expressway Station to Fengyu Town.
This reminded Lin Fanyun of distant memories that he hadn't seen in a long time, and he felt like complaining.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at Fengyu Town.
This place is not much worse than the city, but without those tall buildings, it has a unique charm.
Although there are still people coming and going on the street, one can see the sadness between their brows.
The recent spate of disappearances has made them uneasy, and they haven’t even seen many children and students playing outside.
Lin Fanyun and his team went directly to the Fengyu Town Police Station, where the equipment was the most complete. They were going to set up a temporary investigation headquarters there.
Moreover, they need police equipment to conduct investigations.
The Fengyu Town Police Station received Lin Fanyun, Lin Yu and their group in a low-key manner and handed over the command of the matter to them.
After some communication, neither side had any intention of wasting time.
Leaving four people here to control the cameras in Fengyu Town, Lin Yu, Lin Fanyun and the local police went to the homes of the missing persons and the places where they were last seen.
After visiting a few houses, I didn't find much.
Lin Yu looked at Lin Fanyun and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
"Yeah." Lin Fanyun sat in the back row, scratched his nose, and immediately inhaled all kinds of scents.
"It stinks." Lin Fanyun complained.
Lin Yu and the two policemen driving the car looked confused.
"What, what happened?"
Lin Fanyun snorted and said, "The stench of corpses is everywhere here."
Everyone in the car was stunned.
