"That's the situation. Now that the 'Promised Land' is making a comeback, I need to report the information and start an investigation in the Capital City. How about you?"

Zodiac Pig took a deep breath and squinted at Wu Liang.

He learned from Minister Long that this guy came to the Capital City because of this matter. Now that the other party understands the situation, it seems there's nothing else to do here.

Is he planning to return to Chengyang City?

"I'm going back in a couple of days. I need to see if the fish I baited in Ghost Valley has bitten. Don't disclose the specifics to Minister Long for now." Wu Liang said after thinking for a moment.

Zodiac Pig showed no signs of doubt and simply shrugged it off as acceptance.

After all, Minister Long had just told him over the phone to let Shadow handle the matter as he sees fit.

Although he had no specific knowledge of this new companion's strength, he was clear about Minister Long's capabilities.

As long as Long is in Chengyang City, there will definitely not be a city-destroying level disaster there!

Long is the ultimate insurance!

"Alright, keep pretending to be anesthetized."

Seeing Wu Liang, who had received the information, act dismissively like a scumbag wanting to leave, Zodiac Pig couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Are you not even going to act a bit? Everyone knows you're supposed to be taking care of me, leaving like this is inappropriate."

"Take care of you, my foot! Dude, you've been unconscious for over ten days while I exorcised five haunted spots a day. You really think I'm made of steel? I'm going to sleep!"

Wu Liang grumbled helplessly, opened the ward door, and left without looking back.

Actually, he wanted to act a little more before leaving, but now the time is too tight.

Because after clearing so many haunted spots, combined with today's Ghost Doctor, Wu Liang felt that the Ghost Compendium in his mind showed signs of upgrading again!

He worried that the upgrading disturbance of the Ghost Compendium would be noticed by Professor Guo outside the door and Zodiac Pig beside him, so he had no choice but to leave the floor first.

Quickly returning to his room, Wu Liang took out the Ghost Compendium for a closer look.

"Hmm? This book seems newer than before?" Wu Liang murmured with a frown.

He remembered the Ghost Compendium had always been a tattered, ragged item, even the edges of the yellow paper cover had missing corners, and the words 'Ghost Compendium' in the center were so blurry they were almost unrecognizable.

But now, when he took it out, the cover's missing corners had startlingly been restored, and the text had become much clearer.

It looked at most like an old book, instead of the previous worn-out impression.

Buzz—

Accompanied by a tremor from the Ghost Compendium, information naturally surfaced in Wu Liang's mind, just like his own memory, without any incongruity.

Ghost Shadow Following: Can swap space positions with a subdued Fierce Ghost at any time, disregarding any limitations.

"Ah? What's this instant teleportation?"

Wu Liang thought about it and sensed the Taxi Ghost's location, speeding down a street in the Capital City, looking for passengers to earn a little extra cash.

Zoom —

Wu Liang, who had been preparing to rest in the room, suddenly appeared in the taxi driver's seat. It startled him so much that he quickly grabbed the steering wheel and swerved away from an oncoming vehicle.

As other drivers leaned out, ready to curse, he finally came to his senses.

"Whoa! It really teleported?!"

The Taxi Ghost, who had been cheerfully driving, suddenly found itself plopping down on the cold tile floor, bewilderedly taking in its surroundings.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

"Wait a minute! Where's my car? Even a ghost's car gets stolen?" The Taxi Ghost lamented.

But before it could stand up to check out the place, the scene changed again, instantly returning to its familiar driver's seat.

What followed was a barrage of curses from surrounding drivers.

"Huh? Why are they cursing at me?"

Although it returned, the Taxi Ghost now felt terrible. This was its first time being scolded for its lousy driving skills, and the worst part was it was clueless about what had happened!

Darn it! Forget it! I'm mad now!

The first passenger to get on the car, I'm going to charge them plenty! Make some serious cash!

......

Re-securing his position back in the room, Wu Liang couldn't conceal the shock in his eyes.

The Ghost Shadow Following effect is not just about ignoring distance; it doesn't even have a cooldown and can be used continuously!

This means if Wu Xiaoyao's bionic uses a transmission chip to flee again next time,

he only needs to have his Fierce Ghost Minion hidden on the target's body and taken away with it, then instant teleportation to the destination will suffice!

Or, if entering a scenario that poses a life-threatening crisis, he simply hides a Fierce Ghost in a safe location, creating a ready escape route!

"Wait a minute... I can swap places with Puppet Ghost and return to Chengyang City anytime, no need to waste money on flights! Victory!" Wu Liang clenched his fist and waved it like he'd achieved a great victory.

This way, he won't rush back to Chengyang City due to travel duration.

"Promised Land's bait, please take the hook quickly!"

......

"Take the hook? Why would the opponent take the hook? That guy is so sure there's an idiot who would be cursed?" Zodiac Rabbit sat in the research institute, feeling utterly bored.

It had been two days since Shadow warned her about the matter.

She truly couldn't fathom what kind of fool would willingly walk into this trap.

"Ahem... Rabbit Researcher, does Professor Guo have time now?"

An awkward voice interrupted Zodiac Rabbit's daydreaming, prompting her to glance at the speaker.

The visitor was a slightly tanned man, clearly often exposed to sun and rain. With a square face and flat-top haircut paired with sturdy muscles, he projected a sense of security, and his determined eyes showed slight embarrassment.

"Oh, Captain Ren, my teacher is very busy right now. If you have anything to say, tell me. If I can't solve it, I'll pass it on for you," Zodiac Rabbit said casually.

She knew this person; he was Captain Ren Jian Country, leader of the official Supernatural Handling Squad—Squad One.

His name was the kind older generations liked using in the previous world.

Also, this seemingly honest man was the same one who had messed with Shadow earlier and was released from Spiritual Power sealing yesterday—Ren Tao's dad!

"Rabbit Researcher, didn't you completely release the restriction on my son yesterday?" Ren Jian Country asked cautiously.

He was well aware that this seemingly underage little fellow was the most authoritative person here, second only to Professor Guo.

"Hmm? You mean this girl didn't fully release it?" Zodiac Rabbit retorted with a frown.

The constraint she placed on Ren Tao wasn't remotely as strong as Shadow's, so how could it still fail?

But what Ren Jian Country said next immediately put her on alert—

"No, no worries. Just after my son was released yesterday, he went on a mission right away. In just a short six hours, he experienced three car accidents, two incidents involving uncontrollable supernatural objects, four equipment explosions, and even choked seven times while eating."

Ren Jiang Country sighed, visibly exasperated with his useless son.

"So I wanted to ask if the restriction wasn't completely lifted before he recklessly went on a mission. I suspect in his rashness, he got hit by some supernatural curse and came to seek advice."

"Oh? A curse? That's unlucky?" Zodiac Rabbit muttered under her breath, while her small hands behind her already stirred with anticipation.

She recalled Shadow's advice clearly—

Restrict him and notify him!
