Chapter 141 Everyone speaks freely

After Liang Nian also successfully entered the ghost realm, Liu Ren's team was basically composed entirely of ghost-possessed individuals.

Tasks that previously required him to lead a team to complete can now be gradually delegated to the girls to carry out independently.

After leading the group on several more missions and supervising them closely to ensure everything was in order, Liu Ren stopped acting as the team's caretaker.

Those who enter the realm of the treacherous will eventually have to learn to stand on their own.

By completing this step by the end of November, Yao Qing and her team have already taken the lead over many others.

With their active participation and the continuous expansion of the Zero Association's action department, the entire city of Hualan was gradually completely taken over by the Zero Association.

All incidents related to the strange creatures will be dealt with immediately.

The level of public safety, which had been declining for several months, finally returned to normal by the end of 2100.

At a high-level meeting of the Zero Association in December, Yun Chengyue raised the topic of business expansion.

"According to the investigation, the number of strange events that Jiuhuang has already recorded has more than doubled compared to last month. Most places outside the city level do not have enough power to suppress and deal with strange events."

"With the help of several large conglomerates behind them, Juwei's business has expanded to several states near Yongzhou."

On the projected map, it can be seen that the two states next to Yongzhou are both marked by the Giant Guardian.

"This kind of blind expansion is completely meaningless, isn't it? Do they have enough capacity to take over the business in three states?" one of the shareholders attending the meeting questioned.

“According to the investigation…” Yun Chengyue pulled up another file, “The number of people who have entered the realm of supernatural beings by Giant Guard has seen an explosive increase in the past month. The situation in other states is currently unclear, but Giant Guard has taken over all the supernatural events in Yongzhou. They have further cooperated with the local Special Investigation Bureau, and this move has aroused considerable opposition in both the upper and lower houses of parliament.”

"..."

Yun Chengyue's report brought the conference room to an absolute silence.

It was quite quiet at first.

But at this moment, everyone, including Liu Ren, realized something.

—Giant Guardian's style of doing things is much more radical than Zero Alliance's, and the two sides still share the same fundamental goal.

Both sides are trying to use their financial resources, taking advantage of the intrusion of the strange creature, to transform them into some kind of real power.

“But it’s no use, because all of Ju Wei’s actions are in accordance with the rules,” Yun Chengyue continued. “Although the New Party has split in two from within, the power of the ‘conservative faction’ led by Gu Yuebing is still not to be underestimated. Behind him is a powerful group with very strong financial resources.”

“The ‘reformists’ led by Che Chen do not agree with the actions of the conservatives. They hold the power that is currently very important to the old party and the local decentralization faction.”

"So, according to the information, Che Chen seems to have gone to negotiate with the old party. We don't know the content of the negotiations, but a new document will be issued soon."

"This document is the 'control regulations' that were previously drafted and issued for those who enter the ghost realm."

"I won't go into the details of the regulations, but the core idea is that the central government should establish a special department to manage those who have entered the realm of the supernatural, and that this department should be controlled by those who have entered the realm of the supernatural, in order to centralize the supervision of those who have entered the realm of the supernatural."

"This department is called the 'General Headquarters for the Supervision and Management of Those Who Enter the Trap,' also known as the 'Supervision and Management Division for Trap'."

"After the establishment of this department, all those who have entered the realm of ghosts in Jiuhuang must register, and the information must be synchronized with the Department of Ghost Control. Any ghost who has not registered will be immediately stripped of all their 'legitimate rights' once discovered. For example, they will no longer be able to engage in online activities, their relevant bank accounts will be frozen, and their personal identities will be highlighted."

After listening to Yun Chengyue's introduction, someone said, "It sounds pretty ruthless, but it's still difficult to execute. The Giant Guardians can still cultivate their own 'private armed forces.' And with their capabilities, it wouldn't be a problem for these 'private infiltrators' to live normal lives."

“That’s right, but that’s not really our concern,” Yun Chengyue said. “We certainly can’t act like the Giant Guardians right now, which is why I said we need to expand our business as much as possible. The number of people entering the realm of supernatural beings has increased, so the next step is to expand our influence and cooperate with more places. At least in Fengzhou, our business capabilities need to cover the area. As for procedures, we can follow the requirements from above. As for the right to act, the Supernatural Beings Bureau basically can’t take it back—the supernatural events are rampant in the rural areas outside the city, and the central government simply doesn’t have the capacity to manage them.”

As for why not.

That's obviously because of financial issues.

This problem has not been effectively resolved since the beginning of this year.

And the situation became even more serious due to internal divisions within the new party.

Those who are now part of the New Party-Conservative faction were never willing to cut their own flesh, and now Che Chen is not only preventing them from expanding their pie, but also cutting their flesh as well.

They certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die.

“In that case, we’ll have to consider profitability. Expanding our business to an entire state is no easy feat, and we don’t have the terrifying influence and financial power of Giant Vision,” one shareholder said.

“So, my idea is to take it one step at a time.” Yun Chengyue presented his feasible plan. “First, we need to talk to the municipal government. Our business is not easy to do. As the beneficiaries, they have to show some ‘sincerity,’ right? Otherwise, if our business can’t continue, they will have to find their own way.”

"anything else?"

"Once we've reached an agreement, we can create a template. Then, every time we expand to a new area, we'll talk to the local government first. If nothing unexpected happens, they won't be able to handle the effects of the strange creatures on their own. If we can't rely on the central government, they'll have to outsource it to us, right?"

“In that case, we can make it even better,” one shareholder said. “We will be responsible for creating a ‘safe zone’ to allow the protected area to resume normal operations and production activities. Zero Association’s profits can be drawn from this. Currently, due to the actions of the monsters, production and operations in many places have been greatly affected. Using this as leverage in negotiations will make things go more smoothly. Also, it would be best to start with small counties and townships, where the security pressure has now reached a point that cannot be ignored.”

"Oh? That makes sense."

Yun Chengyue noted this down, then looked at the shareholders who were only represented by data: "Does anyone have any other opinions? Please feel free to speak!"

The shareholders' meeting was originally planned to be held offline.

However, in recent months, strange events have become more and more frequent.

In-person gatherings have become less safe.

Therefore, online meetings have become the primary option.
