Chapter 21 Visit

The elevator stops on the top 88th floor.

With a soft sound, the elevator door slid open to both sides.

Walking out of the elevator, the sight suppressed by the narrow space immediately widened.

In front of you is a spacious hall of nearly 1,000 square meters, which looks bigger than the main hall on the first floor.

The whole hall has no decoration, only a row of wide sofas under the window opposite the door.

On the ceiling in the middle of the hall is a gorgeous large-shaped west-top chandelier.

There is a person standing under the chandelier, about 50 years old, wide and fat, with a height of 19 meters. Standing there, it is like a hill. This figure is matched with a nearly bald board inch, which has the momentum of an ancient green forest hero.

"This is Mr. Yu Chengshi, chairman of our Spring City Mage Practice Association." Luo Wanlan introduced softly.

"Hello, senior fish." Yong Bowen politely stretched out his hand, but the fish senior unexpectedly held him in his arms and gave him a big and powerful hug enthusiastically. The voice sounded like a bell rang, "You're welcome, young man. You are the pride of our Spring City."

Yong Bowen was held out of breath and struggled hard to get rid of this hug like a black bear. He gasped and said, "You are so polite."

Yu Chengshi's face was red and he was quite excited. "This is not polite. Now the whole country knows that there is a ghost-catching wizard in our Spring City, and more than 400 ghosts have been caught as soon as they take action. This is the largest ghost catch in history. It can be called an unprecedented feat. Come and sit here. With 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 past and found that there was a small bar in the southeast corner of the hall.

"I don't drink." Yong Bowen felt a little embarrassed. You should know that Northeast China is a place of bitter cold. Spirits can drive away cold and promote blood circulation, but few people in Northeast China do not drink.

"Oh, I'll give you a glass of 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 gently patted the young man who was a little uneasy. "Don't be so nervous. Mr. Yu is very good. Oh, by the way, you don't know yet. He is the father of Xiaoyuer.

"The father of the little fish?" Yong Bowen couldn't help but think of the petite beauty with a red and angry expression. For a moment, she couldn't connect her image with the bandit-like powerful figure in front of her, and her brain's thinking circuit couldn't help but be temporarily broken.

Yu Chengshi came back with two cups, stuffed the juice into the stunned Yong Bowen, and said with a smile, "Try it. This is the newly squeezed fresh juice, which is no different from the carbonated drink you usually drink."

Yong Bowen took a bite. Except for feeling a little sour, he didn't feel any other difference.

"Let's talk about business." Yu Chengshi stood up and walked slowly in the middle of the hall. "Your matter has been told to me. Let me first introduce the situation of the mage association and related organizations and the help that can be provided to you, and then let Xiao Luo show you around. How about whether you want to join the association?

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

Yu Chengshi cleared his throat and began to introduce the general situation of the Mage Practitioner Association.

"Our global organization of mages is called the International Federation of International Laws. It was founded on September 7, 1973. It was originally known as the 'Committee of International Laws'. In 1986, it was changed to its current name. It is IFM. It is headquartered in New York, the United States. It has more than 80 employees and comes from more than 40 countries around the world. In addition There are 280 civilian personnel who liaise with the mage organizations of 123 Member States day and night to pay close attention to the occurrence of non-human forces such as ghosts, spirits and evils around the world and regulate the conflicts between magicians in various countries. The work of IFM is mainly carried out by the plenary, the executive committee, the secretariat and the national mage organizations of member states. The plenary meeting is the highest body of the International Law Association and meets once a year. The executive committee basically meets twice a year to supervise the implementation of the resolutions of the plenary session and prepare the agenda for the plenary session.

"China's national mage organization is the Chinese Mage Practitioner Association, which was established in 1980 and joined the International Law Association in September 1984. It is headquartered in SH City and has five major regional associations, namely the Northeast Association, the North China Association, the East China Association, the Central South Association, the Northwest Association and the Southwest. Association. The direct director of our Chuncheng Mage Practice Association is the Northeast Association.

"The Spring City Mage Practice Association was established in 1985, which is a very early association in the country. In charge of the investigation and handling of all mages practitioners in Chuncheng and surrounding cities and counties, as well as related supernatural events. At present, there are 105 full members, equipped with the world's most advanced instruments and equipment. They have reached the international advanced level in all aspects such as ghost hunting, evil and demon removal, feng shui calculation and so on.

"Your problem now is that you have caught too many ghosts, and they are not fierce ghosts and evil spirits, so you need enough strength to cross them. But the strength of our Spring City Association is not enough to surpass these 400 ghosts.

Hearing this, Yong Bowen asked hesitantly, "Miss Luo said that you can ask the National and even the International Federation of International Laws for help. If you ask associations across the country to help, these more than 400 ghosts should not be a problem."

Yu Chengshi was stunned for a moment, then laughed cheerfully, walked closer and patted Yong Bowen on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I've already figured out a solution for you. As long as we gather all the mages who are qualified to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits in our Spring City and cooperate with the super ferry here when the ghost gate hole opens on July 15, we can easily cross more than 400 souls at one time.

"Wait until July 15?" Yong Bowen said puzzledly, "This year's July 15th only passed last week. It's not another year to wait. What about these ghosts in this year? Is it sealed all the time? I'm afraid they won't." He really didn't understand that asking for help could be easily solved. Why did this fish always emphasize using Spring City's own strength to solve it?

"Of course we can't do this. We also respect ghost rights." 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 can't interfere."

"Well..." Yong Bowen hesitated to ask himself if he could ask for help from the whole country and cross all these ghosts as soon as possible. After all, he lived with more than 400 ghosts for a year, and he had to prevent Ailiyun from knowing that this is not a fun thing. No matter which part, it's enough for him to make a mistake.

Luo Wanlan suddenly stood up, drank all the whisky in her arms, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fish, I'd better take Mr. Yong around first and let him think about it." After saying that, he gently pulled Yongbobo.

Yu Chengshi smiled and said, "Well, knowing our strength will help him make a decision."

He didn't even get a chance to talk again, and Yong Bowen was forced into the elevator by Luo Wanlan.

"Miss Luo, why doesn't Mr. Yu ask the whole country for help?" When the elevator door was door, he immediately asked questions.

Luo Wanlan smiled and looked at the young mage in front of him, who was powerful but not deeply involved in the world. "Our Spring City's Mage Practice Association is the earliest branch in the country. It has the largest number of members, the most advanced equipment, the strongest strength, and the weaker regional associations such as East China and Central South China are far worse. When Mr. Fish reported the news that you had caught more than 400 ghosts at one time this morning, even the chairman of the association was a little jealous. If we turn to the whole country for help at this time, we will definitely laugh at our association for its false reputation, and we can't even solve such a thing by ourselves..."

It turned out to be a matter of face, hard to fill with large cloves of garlic.

Yong Bowen suddenly realized that he laughed dryly and said nothing more.

The elevator is falling rapidly, and the atmosphere in the narrow space is a little awkward for a while.

Luo Wanlan hesitated for a while before hesitating to ask, "Mr. Yong, I don't know whether to ask a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Where did you catch these more than 400 ghosts?"

"The suburbs." Because he promised Fei Dingxin and did not say this matter for the sake of the reputation of the Fei family, Yong Bowen answered vaguely.

"In the suburbs...where? So many ghosts appeared, but our monitor didn't find anything..." Luo Wanlan knew that it was very ignorant to ask this question. She had answered vaguely and said that she didn't want to say it. But this question must be asked. On the one hand, it is related to whether there is something wrong with the ghost monitor, and on the other hand, it is what Yu Chengshi asked her to ask. Although the face-saving Mr. Chairman is so curious, he can't ask himself anyway.

Of course, Luo Wanlan also wants to know what's going on.

Yong Bowen hesitated for a moment and knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, it would always be a problem, so he said, "I promised the other party not to talk about this matter. However, I can tell you that these ghosts were captured from a feng shui array. That magic array is self-contained, forming an artificial underworld in the array. Under the barrier of yin and yang, people outside the array can't detect the existence of ghosts in it no matter what magic they use.

"It turned out to be a feng shui array. It seems that the monitor is still very defective." Luo Wanlan frowned and fell into meditation for a moment.

The elevator did not stop on the first floor, but continued to decline.

Because there is no indicator light, I don't know how much it has dropped. Compared with the time spent going upstairs, it stopped about five floors underground.

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

"Wow..." When Yong Bowen walked out of the elevator, he couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the scene in front of him.

In front of it is a round white hall, and the soft light is scattered from the ceiling wall, illuminating the underground world as bright as the day on the ground!

Along the round four walls is a huge computer screen six or seven meters high, and all kinds of data pictures keep flashing on the screen.

Countless white-dressed staff are busy in front of these huge computers. Make it look more like a high-level scientific research institute.

This is the monitoring center of the Mage Practice Association.

On the largest screen in the center is the electronic map of the whole Spring City area.

The monitor monitors every corner through the electronic eyes located throughout the Spring City.

At the same time, the professional hunters hired by the Mage Practitioner Association patrol every day. Once the ghost is found, they will be dealt with by the nearest hunting team immediately.

Of course, the monitoring object here is not just a ghost.

For example, the main target of some screen monitoring on the left is demons and spirits, while the main target of some screen monitoring on the right is demons.

From the lowest monitoring center, followed by the processing center.

All kinds of ghosts, goblins and demons caught should be dealt with here.

Ordinary ghosts need to be overdued, while evil ghosts are punished to varying degrees of detention and disaggeration according to the plot. Goblins who do bad things are usually punished for hard labor. Demons are the product of the West. Once the demons who cross the border are caught, they are usually temporarily imprisoned and extradited after communicating with the Western Demons Guild. It's just that in the past hundred years, due to the environment, goblins have rarely appeared, but there are often demons who cross the border to make trouble.

The super ferry instrument that can help Yong Bowen cross the ghost is also on this floor.

Because it was important, Yong Bowen carefully visited the super ferry room where the ghost super ferry was located.

It is a room of about 300 square meters, decorated with six extradition arrays. In the center of the array, there is a bullet-like instrument, which is made of metal, and you can't see what it looks like inside. Ghosts who need to cross the crossing through the rear door, and then open the instrument. It usually takes 24 hours to complete the crossing.

The penultimate layer is the research center, which is responsible for the research and development of various advanced instruments. It is said that in this regard, Spring City has reached the international advanced level. The weapons such as exorcism guns developed are exported to Europe and the United States, accounting for more than 30% of the market share of this category. And various instruments in catching ghosts and avoiding evil spirits are the most stable in Southeast Asia. In fact, ghost hunting has basically relied on various instruments rather than the mage's personal mana level. The backward method of catching ghosts purely by his own strength, such as Yong Bowen, has been abandoned by the mainstream ghost hunting elites as early as more than a decade. These business matters are the responsibility of the specialized sales company set up by the Practitioner Association, which is also the most important source of funding to maintain the entire Mage Practitioner Association. Yu Chengshi is the founder and current chairman of the company.

The penultimate floor is the office center. It is divided into five departments: Ghost Treatment Department, Fengshui Comprehensive Department, Nerological Research Department, Goblin Control Center and Foreign Affairs Processing Center, which specializes in dealing with affairs related to demons. Each department also has its own detailed division of labor and cannot be introduced one by one. When the two walked all the way, they happened to see Liu Yi sitting in the feng shui comprehensive department and talking to a young man opposite. Seeing them pass by, Liu Yi smiled and nodded to them. As a result, she changed back to Luo Wanlan's big white eyes.

The last basement floor is the exhibition center, which introduces the entrepreneurial history of the Spring City Mage Practice Association, various work achievements, celebrity and other achievements, as well as the introduction and sample of general knowledge of various demons and monsters.

After the visit, Yong Bowen also had a similar understanding of the Mage Practitioner Association, and finally decided to join the Mage Practitioner Association.

Resolutely pull Yong Bowen, a heavenly wizard wizard who can catch hundreds of ghosts at a time, joins the Spring City Mage Practice Association, which also means that Yu Chengshi. After all, talents are rare. If they can't keep them, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be pulled away by other or superior associations.

The successful completion of Yu Chengshi's instructions made Luo Wanlan very happy, so she explained the classification of the membership of the association to Yong Bowen.

The members of the association are divided into three levels, ordinary members, intermediate members and senior members.

Each department has its own admission criteria. For the ghost processing department, any mage can become an ordinary member as long as he hands over a ghost. Ordinary members can get the qualification certificate issued by the association and join the national practice network, so that they can ask the local association for help in time no matter where they go on a business trip.

Only when you catch more than 50 ghosts can you be promoted to intermediate members. In addition to all the rights of junior members, intermediate members are also eligible to apply to join various departments of the association for work. For the current sluggish employment situation, this is a good opportunity. The salary of the association is high, the benefits are good, and the work is easy, so most mages will take the initiative to apply to become the staff of the association after being promoted to intermediate members.

If there are more than 80 ghost hunters, they will be promoted to senior members. In addition to applying to become staff, senior members can also apply to the association to open a company. For example, Yu Chengshi's mage equipment company was established after he became a senior member. Opening a company can provide human and material support to the association. In return, after the establishment of the company, it needs to pay a certain fee to the association every month. Local practice associations mainly rely on the fees paid by these senior members to maintain their operations.

"You now have hundreds of ghosts on hand, and you can become a senior member directly. And these ghosts have to cross the group after a year. During this period, you can completely hire them as employees and start a company. Luo Wanlan enthusiastically gave advice to Yong Bowen, "The year before last, there was a senior member named He Bingwen, because the fierce house in a small village in Sichuan caught more than 20 ghosts at one time. After negotiation, the ghosts worked for him for a year, and he paid him with Chaodu. When he came back, he set up a horror film special effects service studio, which specializes in providing ghost actors for ghost movies. His business has been going to the United States, and he has earned more than 10 million yuan in a year. Do you remember that there was a famous horror movie called Ghost Call last year? What's in there is the real ghost.

Yong Bowen asked puzzledly, "What's the difference between this and raising ghosts? That's an evil law."

Luo Wanlan said, "Of course there is a difference. Raising ghosts and ghosts is to forcibly control ghosts and let them obey orders, and we are now a civilized society. We absolutely respect ghost rights, and the employment negotiation is in an equal position. The two sides belong to a contractual relationship, which is no different from ordinary bosses and employees. Of course, if you want to set up such a company, you have to discuss the specific details with the ghosts you caught.
