"What is this?"

 

Yang Jian frowned as he looked at the golden rectangular box on the table.

 

Wang Xiaoming, Zhao Jianguo, and Sun Lihong walked over at this moment.

 

Due to the excessively high price offered earlier, well, it should be said that it was outrageously high, Wang Xiaoming had to come in person to negotiate.

 

And this was also Yang Jian's purpose.

 

"This is the latest achievement of my laboratory. It will be very helpful for you to deal with supernatural events in the future. If you exchange it for Feng Quan, you won't lose out," Wang Xiaoming said as he opened the golden box.

 

Yang Jian looked curiously.

 

Then he paused for a moment.

 

He thought it was some precious treasure, but he didn't expect it to be a crimson candle that seemed to be made of blood when he opened it.

 

Yes.

 

A red candle.

 

"A candle?" Yang Jian raised an eyebrow. "Is this thing worth a Feng Quan? I think it's worth at most fifty cents."

 

Wang Xiaoming said, "Its value is equivalent to five fierce ghosts, and so far, only my laboratory has it. Because the quantity is scarce, it has never been officially distributed. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. So far, I have given it a name, called 'Ghost Candle'."

 

"The name is good, but what is its specific use?" Yang Jian asked.

 

His expression was a bit strange, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just a candle. However, if Wang Xiaoming was willing to exchange Feng Quan for this thing, then it must be very valuable.

 

He needed to figure it out first.

 

"The function of the Ghost Candle is very simple. When you light this candle, as long as you are within the range covered by the candlelight before the flame goes out, you can ensure that you won't be killed by fierce ghosts and be in absolute safety," Wang Xiaoming said.

 

Huh?

 

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed instantly, and he was somewhat shocked.

 

"This is impossible."

 

Wang Xiaoming said, "It's normal for you to not believe it the first time you encounter it, but I don't have time to explain it to you anymore. The Ghost Candle has been tested in three major supernatural events and has been proven to be effective. If you don't believe it, I can't do anything about it. This is the highest price I can offer."

 

At this moment, Yang Jian's gaze flickered, and he looked at the crimson candle, inevitably having some doubts in his heart.

 

Lighting this candle can protect a person from being killed by fierce ghosts?

 

What is the principle behind this?

 

Wang Xiaoming is indeed a professor, but he is not a magician. Can this thing be produced in a laboratory?

 

But if what he said is true, does this Ghost Candle really have such a powerful effect?

 

When lit, a person is in absolute safety until the flame goes out.

 

Yang Jian understood what this meant very well.

 

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the second life of a Ghost Tamer.

 

"Have you really tested it? Is it truly effective?" Yang Jian hesitated.

 

"Based on the results of the experiments, even ghosts of the terror level A cannot kill the person inside before the flame of the Ghost Candle goes out," Wang Xiaoming said. "If you think I'm lying during the trial, you can come to me for revenge."

 

"To be honest, I have confidence in my experimental products."

 

Yang Jian frowned and looked at Feng Quan's head beside him, then at the Ghost Candle beside him.

 

At this moment, there was really no need for him to lie to himself.

 

The Ghost Candle must truly have this effect.

 

"How long can one Ghost Candle last?" Yang Jian asked.

 

Wang Xiaoming said, "It's uncertain. The burning speed of the Ghost Candle varies depending on the situation. The more terrifying the ghost, the faster the Ghost Candle burns. But no matter what, it should last at least half an hour."

 

"There's only one of this thing, it seems a bit insufficient, right? Shouldn't we add one more?" Yang Jian said.

 

Wang Xiaoming said, "The Ghost Candle is currently a strategic-level resource. The one I have on me is used to ensure my own safety. If you want more, you need to apply for allocation. Even I can't make the decision."

 

"But if you want to apply for allocation, just joining the International Criminal Police is not enough. You need to rise at least two levels. Even Zhao Jianguo doesn't have the qualifications here."

 

Zhao Jianguo on the side touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

 

He didn't even know about this thing, let alone the matter of applying for allocation.

 

Yang Jian thought for a moment and immediately said, "Well then, happy cooperation. Feng Quan is yours."

 

"Take Feng Quan and leave. We will go to the laboratory. Sun Manager, you will be in charge of the company's affairs from now on. Don't bother me with trivial matters anymore."

 

Wang Xiaoming immediately instructed the security personnel.

 

Immediately, someone carried the body bag and held Feng Quan's head, quickly leaving under the supervision of Major General Li Jun.

 

"Ghost Candle, huh?"

 

Yang Jian looked at the red candle and immediately put it away.

 

As long as this thing is real, he felt that he had an extremely important trump card when facing invincible fierce ghosts in the future.

 

Then.

 

He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted, "Wait, my bag worth twenty million, uh, it seems a bit late to mention it."

 

Several transport vehicles started, and Wang Xiaoming and his group had already set off in the car.

 

It seemed that the body bag would not be returned.

 

"Yang Jian, you shouldn't do this kind of thing in the future. Selling out your colleagues is unacceptable no matter what," Zhao Jianguo said with a bitter smile. "It's a special period now. Even if you don't prioritize the overall situation, you should at least maintain a good relationship with your colleagues. It's beneficial to yourself. After all, there will be opportunities to meet in the future."

 

"Selling out teammates is better than having someone stab you in the back," he added.Yang Jian said, "Moreover, I am a kind trader, while some people are malicious schemers. Compared to them, I feel like my previous actions were somewhat akin to a benevolent God caring for humanity."

 

Zhao Jianguo's mouth twitched, unsure of how to respond. He could only say, "Try to keep your benevolence in check, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to my superiors. Consider it a favor to me."

 

"I'll try," Yang Jian replied. "But I didn't expect Feng Quan to be so valuable. Being able to exchange him for such an item was a bit beyond my expectations."

 

In his opinion, Feng Quan's worth was definitely not as great as that of the ghost candle.

 

After imprisoning the ghost, Yang Jian could only sell it for money, but money couldn't buy his life.

 

However, the ghost candle could save his life.

 

The difference in value was clear at a glance.

 

"When do you plan to join Interpol and start the assessment? If you agree, I can help you submit the application when I return," Zhao Jianguo said.

 

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "It's better to wait a bit longer, until I'm sure that Wang Xiaoming's method of delaying the revival of the fierce ghost is effective. You wouldn't want a short-lived police officer, would you? Besides, Da Chang City now has a new police officer, so public security should not be a problem for the time being. It would be somewhat redundant for me to join at this time. After all, I am a local, and I don't want to go to other cities."

 

Although he had controlled two ghosts, he had to keep this information from Zhao Jianguo.

 

Because the method he used was given by the human skin paper.

 

Once this information leaked, Wang Xiaoming would probably do everything possible to get the human skin paper for research.

 

By then, Professor Wang would have to change his name to Professor Pi Pi.

 

At present, Yang Jian felt it was necessary to keep the human skin paper in his own hands.

 

"I understand your thoughts. Since you've already made a deal with the company, controlling the second ghost to delay the revival of the fierce ghost is indeed a priority. But there are risks involved, which you are well aware of. Regardless, I still hope you can survive," Zhao Jianguo said seriously.

 

The laboratory's method had a failure rate.

 

And it was high, with a death rate of no less than eighty percent.

 

"I hope so," Yang Jian said. "I appreciate your care, Captain Zhao, and I will continue to do so in the future."

 

"It's my duty," Zhao Jianguo smiled.

 

He knew that the relationship between Interpol and Yang Jian would have to be maintained for a while.

 

It was not a good time for Yang Jian to join Interpol.

 

Previously, he wanted to join to find a way to prolong the life of the fierce ghost through Interpol.

 

But now.

 

Yang Jian had the conditions to wait a bit longer.

 

After all, once he officially took office, he would have to constantly deal with various supernatural events, which did not suit his quiet and wealthy character.

 

"By the way, if I join Interpol later, will the supernatural events I've solved before count as merits?" Yang Jian asked again.

 

Zhao Jianguo said, "The Fu Ren Mall incident, the Huanggang Village incident, these will all be counted as your merits and will be recorded in your file."

 

"That's good. I'm counting on getting promoted after joining Interpol," Yang Jian said.

 

From Wang Xiaoming's previous words, it could be inferred.

 

Interpol, depending on the level, has different authorities.

 

If he could raise his level by two, he could even get strategic resources like the ghost candle.

 

Of course, this was just one aspect, there must be other authorities.
