Chapter 478: Gu Qing's Death and the Great Earthquake in the Supernatural Circle (Subscriptions and votes requested)

What? Jiang Shangbai is dead?!
Headquarters.
赵建国还在开会，就得到了这个劲爆的消息。
他们在朋友圈也布置了眼线，立马就知道了这件事的来龙去脉。
In fact,
Gu Qing's negotiation with his friends was something the headquarters knew about in advance.
However, by the time they found out, Gu Qing was already on his way, so they couldn't stop him anymore.
赵建国和顾青打过不少次交道，知道顾青的性子极为执拗，决定的事情，不是他们可以左右的。
Interfering rashly will only lead to negative consequences.
So, the headquarters also chooses to turn a blind eye.
Zhao Jianguo thinks that it's just negotiations and nothing major should happen.
Jiang Shangbai or Gu Qing wouldn't dare to actually kill someone!
After all, both of them belong to the headquarters.
However, Zhao Jianguo never expected that Jiang Shangbai would die during this negotiation.
This completely caught him off guard.
Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua's expression looked a bit grim as he spoke:
Although Jiang Shangbai was recommended by the friend circle as a Ghost-Tamer, he has already passed the captain's assessment and is about to be appointed as the captain. But now he was killed by Gu Qing. If the headquarters does not make any statement, it may cause dissatisfaction among other Ghost-Tamers.
Zhao Jianguo frowned:
"This Gu Qing is absolutely lawless. Where is he now?"
Cao Yanhua spoke up:
“似乎已经从庄园回来，在往总部过来，马上就到了。”
Zhao Jianguo raised an eyebrow in anger:
"This guy, he dares to come back to headquarters, relying on Qin Lao's favoritism, he is without organization and discipline, when he returns to headquarters, he must be taken down immediately!"
Wang Xiaoming, wearing a white coat, sat on the side, looking calm, and said: "
“赵部长，你要为了一个死掉的驭鬼者，去得罪另外一个有着队长实力的人吗？”
After a pause,
他接着道：“而且，据我所知，这顾青和队长周正关系密切，最主要的是，现在严力已经驾驭了部分鬼差的力量，他和顾青的关系不错，这驾驭鬼差的名额，就是顾青给他的，如果他知道总部要对付顾青，你觉得他会怎么想？”
“严力驾驭鬼差了吗，什么时候的事？！”赵建国一瞪眼。
这鬼差的力量，他可是知道的。
拥有无解压制厉鬼的力量，还自带鬼蜮！
一旦驾驭，就是顶尖的驭鬼者。
哪怕是驾驭了三只厉鬼的驭鬼者，都未必是对手。
如今鬼差被驾驭，总部的力量，无疑能得到大大的加强。
“就在刚刚，我本来打算说这件事的，没想到中途却出了姜尚白的事。”王小明神色平静。
为了让严力成功驾驭鬼差，他们实验室可谓是呕心沥血。
甚至最后差点让鬼差失控，好在有之前顾青的提醒，让他们知道了鬼差的本质。
这才让严力成功驾驭了鬼差。
实际上，也不能说是驾驭，只是让严力的鬼血，窃取了部分鬼差的力量。
The true ghost catcher is still imprisoned in an underground laboratory.
Of course, even possessing a portion of the ghost catcher's powers has granted Yanli the ability to effectively suppress three vengeful spirits!
@Zhao Jianguo pondered for a moment and said, "@Indeed, we must not rashly engage in conflict with Gu Qing. He hasn't revealed his true strength, so we need to be cautious."
他不由有些后知后觉。
如果不是王小明提醒，他还真打算对顾青兴师问罪了。
曹延华蹙眉道：“那也不能就这样算了，不然总部以后还怎么约束其他的驭鬼者，这件事处理不好，总部的威严，将荡然无存。”
他相较于赵建国，更加的严肃、公事公办一点，不容许有人挑战总部的权威。
有一就有二，到时候总部没了威信，更难应对层出不穷的灵异事件。
赵建国不由看向王小明：“王教授，你觉得这件事怎么处理更好？”
“我对于你们怎么处理顾青，并不感兴趣。”王小明神色澹然，“不过，我知道，这顾青并不是鲁莽的人，你可以问清楚事情的起因，收集证据，再来决定怎么处理这件事。”
Zhao Jianguo nodded, "Hmm, we'll have to wait for Gu Qing to come back before we can decide how to handle this."
Ten minutes later.
顾青回到了Headquarters.
As he was about to enter the main building, two soldiers in military uniforms approached him solemnly and said: Please provide only the translated content.
"Mr. Gu, Minister Zhao and others are waiting for you in the conference room on the fourth floor. Please go there now."
Gu Qing nodded calmly, "Okay, I got it."
他知道，击杀姜尚白这件事，肯定是瞒不住的。
不过，他并不担心总部会责罚自己。
正如姜尚白所说，总部不会为了一个死掉的驭鬼者，去为难一个队长级的人物。
当然，他也必须要让总部下得了台，对外有个交代。
不然这件事还真不好收场。
对此，顾青早有准备了。
他没有多待，跟着两个士兵，朝着四楼的会议室走去。
……
At this moment.
In an office in Ping An Building.
Fang Shiming sat on a chair, looking as if he was sculpted, quietly gazing at the clock on his desk.
He had been sitting for an hour, without turning on the lights, just sitting there, making the dim office even more eerie.
期间，并没有任何员工来打搅他，仿佛他就是个不存在的人一般。
就在时间来到八点的时候。
他才终于动了起来，缓缓从衣服内，拿出一个盒子。
This box is slightly larger than a regular phone box, and it is a striking golden color. It is evidently made of gold!
It is common knowledge in the paranormal community to use gold to confine evil spirits and to store paranormal items.
The box was completely welded shut, without a single gap.
Fang Shiming used a small knife to make a circle on the edge of the box before finally opening it.
The box was finally opened.
昏暗的办公室内，立马就变得阴冷无比，空气中弥漫出腥臭的尸臭味，如同腐肉的味道。
盒子内放着一把老旧的剪刀，这剪刀不知是不是在地下埋了太久了，上面满是黑色的污渍，分不清是锈迹，还是什么其他的东西。
除了这诡异的污渍外，上面还缠绕着一圈圈密密麻麻的头发，有些头发甚至还连接着头皮，看起来异常的可怖。
这尸臭味，很显然就是从上面散发出来的。
鬼剪刀！
这便是方世明至今为止，最大的杀手锏。
乃是他冒着九死一生的危险，从一只厉鬼的身上拿到的。
这鬼剪刀，拥有隔空杀人的能力，不过却需要满足两个条件。
第一、一张对方的全身照；第二、对方真实的姓名！
只要满足这两个条件，再用鬼剪刀将照片给裁剪，那么照片中的人，也会遭到同等的伤害！
这是必死的规律，哪怕藏身在鬼蜮之中，也无法抵挡。
“哎，看来谈判失败了，真不想用这件灵异武器，只可惜，这顾青实力不凡，不能继续放任他成长下去，得尽早抹杀才行！”方世明叹息一声。
He doesn't have full confidence in being able to defeat Gu Qing face-to-face.
That's why he had no choice but to rely on this cursed scissors.
Even though using the cursed scissors would attract the wrath of a vengeful spirit, he is willing to take the risk.
不能降服的人，那就只能抹杀掉了！
“顾青，让我送你上路吧。”
方世明拿出一张早已准备好的顾青的全身照，并且用水彩笔，在照片的背面，写上了顾青的名字。
And then.
他将手中的手套给摘了下来，露出一双恐怖的双手。
暗褐色的皮肤紧紧的贴着骨头，上面根本没有一丝血肉，如同干尸一般，渗人无比。
He stretched out his hand, taking the ghost scissors out of the box.
In the next moment.
The dim office became even more eerie, as if completely enveloped in darkness.
The putrid stench of corpses grew stronger, accompanied by a piercing smell of blood.
Apart from that, in the darkness, the outlines of corpses were also swaying.
These corpse outlines were incomplete, lacking arms and legs, and some even without heads.
These eerie corpses gradually approached Fang Shiming.
方世明视若无睹，将写着顾青名字的全身照给拿了起来。
不知道什么时候开始，顾青的名字，已经被浓稠的鲜血所覆盖，正一滴滴的往地上滴去。
At the same time.
方世明也感觉自己踩在了一具尸体上，阴冷，柔软，就像要陷入血色的泥浆之中一般。
周围诡异的尸体，也陡然间朝他靠的更近了。
“鬼剪刀的诅咒又更深了。”方世明蹙眉。
他知道，使用鬼剪刀，不是没有代价的。
每使用一次，上面的诅咒就会加大一分，甚至遭遇厉鬼的袭击。
使用的越多，引来的厉鬼就越强大。
不过，现在这种程度的诅咒，对他还没有什么威胁。
"Die!"
方世明拿着鬼剪刀，直接剪向了照片上顾青的身体。
随着鬼剪刀触碰到照片。
色彩艳丽的照片，一下子变得陈旧无比，好似变成了黑白照片一般。
At first glance,
这照片仿佛变成了顾青的遗照。
Just as the photo was about to be taken, it was abruptly cut off, with even the head being directly severed.
……
On the other side.
Gu Qing arrived at the conference room on the fourth floor and saw Zhao Jianguo and other high-level executives from headquarters.
"We are all here, I wonder what Minister Zhao wants with me?" Gu Qing smiled faintly.
Zhao Jianguo's expression became serious as he spoke, "Gu Qing, don't try to deceive me. You know why we called you here, don't you intend to explain?"
顾青开口道：“朋友圈的事情，是他们先惹我的，赵部长，总不至于我被打了，还不能还手吧？”
赵建国蹙了蹙眉头：“在你去庄园前，我其实已经事先联系过姜尚白，他表示只是找你谈谈，并不会真的动手，可现在怎么回事，你为什么把他杀了？！”
“他说不动手就不动手嘛，赵部长，你也不是三岁小孩了，怎么能听他的一面之词，他不动手，我能把他杀了吗，我顾青可不是嗜杀之辈。”顾青澹澹道。
实际上，如果姜尚白没有动手的话，他确实不打算动手的。
因为他先动手的话，那么就是他理亏。
不过，在庄园那里，确实是姜尚白先动的手，哪怕赵建国让阿红还原当时的场景，也找不出任何毛病。
顾青那是属于被迫反杀。
赵建国蹙眉道：“那我能听信你的一面之词吗？”
Gu Qing shrugged and replied, "If Minister Zhao doesn't believe me, you can call He Tianxiong. He was also present at the scene and is part of the same circle of friends. He wouldn't deceive you. Additionally, you can have Ahong conduct an on-site investigation." Please note that the original Chinese text contains some informal language and the names mentioned may not be translated correctly without proper context.
赵建国道：“阿红的化妆盒，只能重现半小时内的事情，现在已经超过了半小时了，她也无能为力，不过，我现在可以联系贺天雄，如果确实如你所说，我会将这件事通报给所有的总部驭鬼者，以此为鉴！”
This heaven, ultimately, is not something you can overturn!"
他拿出手机，准备给贺天雄打个电话，询问这件事的前因后果。
However.
他有预感，既然这顾青主动提到贺天雄的名字，那么贺天雄绝对不可能说半句顾青的坏话。
这姜尚白，大概率是要白死了！
But.
Just then.
顾青眉梢却勐地挑起，一股极大的危机感，浮现在他心头。
这是面对危险，天生的感应。
In an instant.
他周身的法力涌动而起，严阵以待。
不过，就在他刚刚运转起法力时。
Tch!
一道诡异的伤口，就出现在了他的脖子上。
这伤口越来越大，将他的脖颈整个撕裂，鲜血喷溅而出，将会议室的办公桌都给染红。
At the same moment.
他的腰部也好似被利器切割，响起骨头破碎的声音，鲜血如同泉涌一般，将整个办公室的地面都给染红。
卡卡卡——
顾青的脑袋，直接掉落了下来，摔向地面的同时，直接变成了两半，连脑浆都出来了。
并且，腰部位置，也被拦腰斩断，掉落在地面上。
A strong smell of fishy odor instantly permeated the whole office.
What's going on?!
所有参与会议的人员，都腾的一下站起了身子，脸上满是惊恐之色。
This is really too scary.
刚刚还在说话的人，眨眼间就被切断了脖子和身体，还是当着他们所有人的面。
这视觉冲击，实在是太强烈了！
王小明眯了眯眼眸，开口道：“是方世明出手了，他用了那把鬼剪刀！”
他曾经服务过朋友圈一段时间，也接触过鬼剪刀。
鬼剪刀的杀人规律，都还是他研究出来的。
所以，他也知道这鬼剪刀是有多么恐怖！
赵建国双眸圆睁，怒喝道：“这方世明实在是太大胆了，竟然敢这样杀人，看来，这件事也没追查的必要了，朋友圈从一开始，就打算致顾青于死地！”
他看着地上顾青的尸体，依旧还有些不敢相信，这一直以来，神秘无比的顾青，就这样死了？
王小明沉着脸道：“朋友圈的存在，多少阻碍了总部的发展，或许，是该找机会打掉了。”
其余人听着王小明的话，都默不作声。
不过，任谁都知道，今天一下子死了两个队长级的人物，灵异圈怕是即将要迎来一场大地震了！
