Chapter 132 Safe Zone

Jingle Bell!
In the laboratory, Wang Xiaoming was preparing to meditate to restore his spirituality when the phone suddenly rang.

"Professor, the first batch of acquired evil spirits has arrived. I'll send them to you now."

When the call was connected, it was Li Jun who called. He was conscripted by the headquarters and was responsible for escorting the evil spirit.

Three days ago, the headquarters officially offered a reward in his name to buy the evil spirit, which caused an unprecedented sensation. For a time, the phone of the department responsible for the relevant incident was directly bombarded with calls, and hundreds of people said that they had evil spirits to provide that day.

After going through various procedures and checkpoints these days, the first batch of supernatural ghosts that have been successfully acquired have been delivered to the headquarters.

Wang Xiaoming didn't have to wait too long before he saw Li Jun and the twenty-three evil spirits. These evil spirits were put into golden boxes, so their appearance could not be seen. There were labels on the outside of the boxes with simple information about these evil spirits.

After a simple greeting to Li Jun, Wang Xiaoming immersed himself in the joy of unpacking the boxes.

Twenty-three evil spirits are not a lot, but to him, these evil spirits are unknown. Maybe there is one among them that can give him a burst of inspiration. He enjoys this feeling of the unknown.

Wang Xiaoming was not worried about encountering danger when opening the box. On the one hand, he would do divination when doing something dangerous.

On the other hand, the evil spirits in these boxes had been checked in advance by the headquarters, and the dangerous factors had been eliminated long ago. In addition, a piece of yellow paper with fake death was pasted on each evil spirit to prevent the evil spirit from reviving and killing people.

Soon, Wang Xiaoming looked at all the twenty-three evil spirits and used various methods such as identification and clairvoyance. Unfortunately, he did not find any evil spirit that interested him.

"When will the second batch of evil spirits arrive?"

Wang Xiaoming stood up from the gold box and looked at Li Jun.

Offering a reward to the whole world to buy evil spirits is a very troublesome thing. There are many things that need to be dealt with in the middle, such as transportation, detention, identification, etc. This is why the first batch of evil spirits did not arrive at the headquarters until three days later.

However, once these form a set of processes, the speed will be much faster.

Li Jun thought for a moment and said, "At this time tomorrow, there will be a lot more of them, probably about thirty or forty."

Wang Xiaoming nodded and took note of it without saying anything.

Looking at Wang Xiaoming who was lost in thought, Li Jun gritted his teeth and said:
"Professor, I'll return the Death Banner to you. I feel unworthy of this magical weapon."

After saying that, he took out a golden box and gave it to Wang Xiaoming.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Wang Xiaoming stretched out his hand to stop Li Jun's action and said, "Since the thing is given to you, you should take it well. It seems that you should have used the Death Banner before. How powerful is it?"

"Very strong!"

Li Jun's mood changed significantly. "On the way to escort the evil spirit, I was attacked by a ghost rider. At that time, I just gently shook the Death Banner, and the man died immediately. The Death Banner contains an extremely powerful curse."

"Since it's very powerful, you should take it," Wang Xiaoming said, "A sword worthy of a hero, and you can better handle supernatural events with the Dead Man's Banner."

"Don't say you don't deserve it. I know what kind of person you are. I think it's just right to give it to you."

"This..." Li Jun was silent. "Okay, come here and bring these things to Zhao Jianguo." Wang Xiaoming led Li Jun to a pile of objects.

"these are?"

In front of Li Jun was a pile of neatly arranged things with labels introducing them. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Wang Xiaoming pointed to the chalk beside him and said:
"This box of chalk is the most important one here, so I need to tell you about it. As for the others, they are all failed experiments. You just need to give them to Zhao Jianguo and he will know what to do with them."

These failed products will eventually be put on the points exchange list by Zhao Jianguo to make up the numbers, and the label on each item will become the introduction on the points exchange list.

The points exchange list is a list set up by the headquarters specifically for offering rewards for purchasing evil spirits. It is filled with creations that Wang Xiaoming considers to be unqualified.

The failed products Wang Xiaoming had made in the past had long been shipped away, and now these are just by-products of his latest experiments.

But for some forces that have their own laboratories, these creations are treasures that guide their research progress.

This has resulted in these items, which are more hype than practical, being scrambled for by various forces, and the evil spirits purchased are paid with these items, so the headquarters does not spend too many resources at all.

As for why this phenomenon occurred, it was because Wang Xiaoming's inventions were too many and too powerful, directly raising the strength of the Asian headquarters to the first in the world, which is not universal.

On the other side, after hearing what Wang Xiaoming said, Li Jun looked at the chalk and said, "Professor, are these chalks your new invention?"

"Yes," Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "The day before yesterday, Zhao Jianguo said that the headquarters lacked items that could defend against supernatural attacks, so I did some research and just made this box of chalk today. Let him try it out first. If it works well, I'll make another batch."

When Li Jun heard that it was an item that could defend against supernatural attacks, his eyes lit up instantly. He pointed at the chalk and asked, "How do I use this thing?"

"The method of use is also very simple. You just need to take out a piece of chalk and draw a circle on the ground, then stand in the circle to defend against supernatural attacks. The circle is equivalent to a safe zone. As long as you stay in the safe zone, ordinary attacks by evil spirits will not harm the user."

Wang Xiaoming said calmly: "The rounder the circle is, the stronger the ability to defend against supernatural attacks will be. During the period of defending against supernatural attacks, the chalk marks on the ground will continue to disappear. When the marks disappear completely, the safe zone will be invalidated."

After listening to this, Li Jun asked: "If the safety zone is not invalid, can we draw another safety zone within the safety zone?"

"No," Wang Xiaoming shook his head. "You can't create another safe zone within a safe zone. You can draw multiple safe zones while the chalk is still there, but these safe zones must be separate and cannot be connected or overlapped, otherwise the safe zones will not take effect."

Li Jun secretly thought it was a pity. If he could draw another safe zone within the safe zone, this chalk would be perfect. As long as there was enough chalk, it could block infinite supernatural attacks.

After carefully placing the chalk into a golden box, he asked, "Professor, does this chalk have a name?"

"name?"

This question stumped Wang Xiaoming. He realized that he had not even named the chalk. He was so busy that day that he had no mood to think about anything else.

It was just a name, Wang Xiaoming thought about it and immediately came up with an idea:

"The name is Ghost Chalk. It's simple and easy to remember."

"Good name!"

Li Jun nodded seriously.
