The elevator stops at the top 88 floors.

There was a soft "ding" sound, and the elevator door slid open to both sides.

When I stepped out of the elevator, my eyesight, which was suppressed by the small space, immediately widened.

In front of you is a spacious hall of nearly a thousand square meters, which looks larger and better than the main hall on the first floor.

The entire hall has no decoration, except for a row of large sofas placed under the window opposite the door.

On the ceiling in the center of the hall is a gorgeous large chandelier.

There is a person standing under the chandelier. He is about fifty years old. He is wide and fat, and is about 1.9 meters tall. Standing there, he looks like a hill. This figure and the almost bald head make him look like an ancient green forest.

The momentum of a hero.

"This is Mr. Yu Chengshi, the chairman of our Chuncheng Master Practitioners Association." Luo Wanlan introduced softly.

"Hello, Senior Yu." Yong Bowen stretched out his hand politely, but Senior Yu unexpectedly held him in his arms and gave him a big and powerful hug enthusiastically, ringing as loud as a bell.

Then a voice sounded, "Young man, you're welcome, you are the pride of our Spring City."

Yong Bowen was hugged so hard that he couldn't breathe. He struggled hard and finally got rid of the hug like a black bear's arms. He gasped and said: "You are too polite."

Yu Chengshi's face lit up and he was very excited, "This is not polite. Now the whole country knows that we have a ghost hunting wizard in Spring City. He caught more than 400 ghosts in one shot. This is the largest ghost hunting in history.

It's an unprecedented feat, come and sit here." After saying that, he took Yong Bowen's hand, led him to sit on the sofa, and then walked to the other corner of the hall, "What would you like to drink?"

Yong Bowen looked forward in the direction he walked, and then discovered that there was a small bar in the southeast corner of the hall.

"I don't drink." Yong Bowen felt a little embarrassed. You must know that the Northeast is a land of bitter cold. Strong alcohol can dispel the cold and activate blood circulation, but few Northeasterners do not drink.

"Oh, let me give you a glass of pure juice." Yu Chengshi was not surprised. He turned around and asked, "Xiao Luo, what do you want to drink?"

"Whiskey." Luo Wanlan sat next to Yong Bowen and patted the uneasy young man, "Don't be so nervous, Mr. Yu is a very nice person. Oh, by the way, you didn't know, he is a little fish."

’s father.”

"Xiao Yu'er's father?" Yong Bowen couldn't help but think of the petite beauty with a blushing face and an angry expression. For a while, he couldn't connect her image with the powerful and powerful figure like a bandit in front of him. His brain's thinking circuit

Temporary interruptions cannot help but occur.

Yu Chengshi came back with two cups, stuffed the juice to Yong Bowen, who was in a daze, and said with a smile: "Try it, this is freshly squeezed juice, it is absolutely different from the carbonated drinks you usually drink.

.”

Yong Bowen took a sip and found no other difference except that it was slightly sour.

"Let's talk about business." Yu Chengshi stood up and walked slowly in the center of the hall, "Little Luo has already told me about your matter. Let me first introduce the situation of the Mage Association and related organizations and what they can provide.

How about I give you some help, and then let Ronaldinho show you around, and then you consider whether to join the association?"

This was reasonable and reasonable, and Yong Bowen thought it was quite appropriate, so he nodded.

Yu Chengshi cleared his throat and began to introduce the overview of the Master Practitioners Association.

"The global organization of our mages is called the International Federation of Mages. It was founded on September 7, 1973. It was originally called the 'International Council of Mages'. In 1986, it was changed to its current name, the English abbreviation IFM. It is headquartered in New York, USA. It is now

There are more than 80 staff members from more than 40 countries around the world, and 280 civilian staff. They communicate day and night with the magician organizations in 123 member countries, pay close attention to the events of ghosts, supernatural evil and other non-human forces around the world, and regulate the magic of various countries.

Conflicts among lawyers. The work of the IFM is mainly implemented by the Secretariat of the General Assembly Executive Committee and the national legal organizations of member states. The General Assembly is the highest body of the International Federation of Lawyers and holds a meeting every year. The Executive Committee is basically

It holds two meetings every year and is responsible for supervising the implementation of the plenary meeting’s resolutions and preparing the agenda for the plenary meeting.”

"The national mage organization in my country is the Chinese Mage Practitioners Association. It was established in 1980 and joined the International Mage Federation in September 1984. It is headquartered in SH City and has five major regional associations, namely the Northeast Association, the North China Association, and the East China Association. Associations: Central-South Association, Northwest Association, Southwest Association. The direct supervisor of our Spring City Master Practitioners Association is the Northeast Association."

"The Chuncheng Mage Practitioners Association was established in 1985, which is considered a very early association in the country. It is responsible for the investigation and handling of all mage practitioners in Chuncheng and surrounding cities and counties as well as related supernatural events. It currently has 105 formal members.

Equipped with the most advanced instruments and equipment in the world, it has reached the international advanced level in various aspects such as catching ghosts, transcending evil spirits, eliminating demons, feng shui calculations, etc."

"The problem you have now is that you have caught too many ghosts, and they are not evil ghosts, so you need enough power to transcend them. But our Spring City Association does not have enough power to transcend these four hundred ghosts.

"

Hearing this, Yong Bowen asked hesitantly: "Yesterday, Ms. Luo said that you can ask for help from the national and even the International Mage Federation. If associations across the country can help, these more than 400 ghosts should not be a problem."

Yu Chengshi was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, walked closer and patted Yong Bowen's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, I have already figured out a solution for you. As long as you open the Ghost Gate on July 15th,

When it opens, we can gather all the magicians in Spring City who are qualified to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits and cooperate with the transcendence instrument here, and we can easily transcend the more than 400 dead souls at one time."

"Wait until July 15th?" Yong Bowen said puzzledly, "This year's July 15th only passed last week. Doesn't it mean we have to wait for another year? So what will these ghosts do during this year? Keep them sealed up.

?I'm afraid they won't be willing." He really couldn't understand. Although this matter could be easily solved by asking for help, why did Mr. Yu insist on using Chuncheng's own power to solve it?

"Of course we can't do this. We also respect the rights of ghosts." Yu Chengshi shook his head and said, "However, it depends on your decision. After all, these ghosts are under your supervision during this period and we cannot interfere.

"

"That's it..." Yong Bowen hesitated and wanted to ask himself if he could ask for help from the whole country and try to transcend all these ghosts as quickly as possible. After all, he lived with more than 400 ghosts for a year and had to prevent them.

Aliyun knew that this was not a fun thing. No matter where there was any flaw, it would be enough for him.

Luo Wanlan suddenly stood up, drank the whiskey in her arms, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I'd better take Mr. Yong to visit various places first and let him think about it carefully." After that, he pulled the phone gently.

Yong Bowen writes about it.

Yu Chengshi smiled and said: "That's good. Understanding our strength will help him make a decision."

Before even getting a chance to speak again, Yong Bowen was forcefully pulled into the elevator by Luo Wanlan.

"Ms. Luo, why doesn't Mr. Yu want to ask for help from the whole country?" He immediately asked the question as soon as the elevator door opened.

Luo Wanlan smiled and looked at the young mage in front of her who was very powerful but not experienced in the world. "Our Mage Practitioners Association in Spring City is the earliest branch in the country. It has the largest number of members, the most advanced equipment, and the most powerful force. The weaker ones are like

The large regional associations in East, Central and South China are also far inferior. When Mr. Yu informed the whole country this morning that you had caught more than 400 ghosts at one time, even the chairman of the general association was a little jealous. If we ask this question at this time

If the whole country asks for help, they will definitely laugh at our association for being in vain and unable to solve such a problem by itself..."

It turned out that he was trying to save face and pretended to be a big clove of garlic.

Yong Bowen suddenly understood, laughed twice, and said nothing more.

The elevator was descending rapidly, and the atmosphere in the small space seemed a little awkward for a moment.

Luo Wanlan hesitated for a while, then asked hesitantly: "Mr. Yong, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask."

"what is the problem?"

"Where did you catch these four hundred ghosts?"

"Suburban." Because he had promised Fei Dingxin not to reveal this matter for the sake of the Fei family's reputation, Yong Bowen answered very vaguely.

"Outskirts of the city...where? So many ghosts appeared, but our surveillance cameras didn't find anything..." Luo Wanlan knew that she seemed ignorant when asking this question. She had already answered vaguely and said she didn't want to say it. But this question was

She had to ask. On the one hand, it was related to whether there was something wrong with the ghost monitor. On the other hand, this was what Yu Chengshi asked her to ask. Although the chairman, who was obsessed with saving face, was extremely curious, he could not ask the question anyway.

.

Of course, Luo Wanlan also wanted to know what was going on.

Yong Bowen hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he didn't explain clearly, it would always be a problem, so he said: "I promised the other party not to tell this matter. However, I can tell you that these ghosts were caught from a Feng Shui circle.

That magic circle is a self-contained system, forming an artificial underworld within the circle. Under the barrier of yin and yang, people outside the circle cannot detect the existence of ghosts inside, no matter what magic they use."

"It turns out it's a Feng Shui formation. It seems that the monitor still has big flaws." Luo Wanlan frowned and fell into deep thought for a moment.

The elevator did not stop when it reached the first floor, but continued to descend.

Since there is no indicator light, I don't know how much it dropped. Judging from the time it took to go upstairs, I think it stopped around the fifth underground floor.

Luo Wanlan gave up frowning and led Yong Bowen out of the elevator.

"Wow..." When Yong Bowen stepped out of the elevator and saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

In front of him is a circular white hall. Soft light scatters from the ceiling walls and floor, illuminating the underground world as brightly as daylight on the ground!

Along the four circular walls is a circle of huge computer screens six to seven meters high, with various data screens flashing across the screen.

Countless staff dressed in white are busy in front of these huge computers, making this place look more like a high-end scientific research institute.

This is the monitoring center of the Mage Practitioners Association.

On the big screen in the center is an electronic map of the entire Spring City area.

Monitors monitor every corner at all times through electronic eyes located throughout Spring City.

At the same time, professional hunting teams hired by the Mage Practitioners Association patrol the areas every day. Once a ghost is found somewhere, the nearest hunting team will immediately go to deal with it.

Of course, the objects of surveillance here are not just ghosts.

For example, the main targets of the screen monitoring on the left side are monsters and spirits, while the main targets of the screen monitoring on the right side are demons.

Going up from the monitoring center at the bottom, there is the processing center.

All kinds of ghosts, fairies and demons caught must be dealt with here.

Ordinary ghosts need to be transcended, while evil ghosts will be punished with varying degrees of imprisonment or even death depending on the circumstances. Goblins who have done bad things are usually punished with hard labor. Demons are a product of the West. Once caught, they cross the border.

Demons are usually temporarily imprisoned, waiting to be extradited after communicating with the Demon Conqueror Guild in the West. However, in the past hundred years, probably due to environmental factors, goblins have rarely appeared, but demons who have crossed the line have often fallen.

make trouble.

The transcending instrument that can help Yong Bowen transcend ghosts is also on this level.
