Chapter 68 Failure means death
Chapter 68 Failure means death
"In my circle of friends, the highest-ranking person is Chairman Fang Shiming. Below him, besides Vice President He Tianxiong, is the manager level. With my recommendation, you can directly assume a manager position, which can be considered as reaching the middle management level."
Jiang Shangbai spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something extremely trivial.
But when He Tianxiong was mentioned, he clearly showed a hint of disdain and jealousy.
Lin Yuan suddenly asked, "And what about you? What are you in the WeChat Moments?"
Seemingly annoyed by the criticism, Jiang Shangbai still adopted a humble attitude, saying, "I am the leader promoted by headquarters for the WeChat Moments. There are also many people in charge at headquarters who have joined WeChat Moments. You don't need to worry that headquarters will mind. Cao Yanhua and the others know about this, but they can only pretend not to know."
In just a few words, he revealed the domineering and assertive nature of his social media presence.
"Oh, I forgot, you've never been a fan of headquarters, so you don't need to worry about their attitude."
Lin Yuan nodded. "It seems your influence is indeed quite significant. Like the flight attendants on the plane, and Guo Fan, are they also figures with connections and influence?"
"You knew that too? No, you must have observed it, right? Your strength is not weak, and your observation skills are also very sharp. Lin Yuan, I admire you more and more." Jiang Shangbai said with admiration, making no attempt to hide the admiration in his eyes.
Lin Yuan was amused. "So, you're coming to me all high and mighty just to offer me a managerial position?"
Jiang Shangbai frowned and said, "You may have misunderstood. You should know the purpose of our circle of friends just from the name. We are looking for like-minded friends who can support each other through this desperate era."
"I wasn't talking about WeChat Moments, I was talking about you."
Lin Yuan stared intently at Jiang Shangbai. "You seem very confident in yourself, trying to convince me with just your words. Are you trying to make me your underling?"
"So that's what you're concerned about. That's right, in our circle, strength is everything; whoever has the bigger fist has the more authority. But it's not that I'm arrogant, but I know far more about your abilities than Cao Yang, who's only half-baked. After all, if we're going to invite you, we naturally need to find out your background. In this regard, we never fight unprepared battles."
Jiang Shangbai was very confident. "The vengeful spirit you control is codenamed Mirror Actor. It has three basic abilities: theatrical pattern erosion, actor's face removal, and mirror travel. Theatrical pattern erosion is the one you used on Guo Fan. Actor's face removal requires physical contact with the body, and mirror travel requires a reflective object. All of these require a medium."
There's also the S-class paranormal event in Xiaonan City, codenamed Ghost Bell Tower, but you don't show any similar signs on your body, and you seem to be in good condition. You must have escaped and weren't really imprisoned by that ghost, right? So the three abilities you possess, plus the pseudo-ghost domain that requires prior preparation, are indeed very terrifying abilities. Once they are used, anyone who isn't prepared can easily fall victim.
Unfortunately, you don't understand. True powerhouses all possess one crucial ability: the Ghost Domain! Possessing a Ghost Domain makes one the ruler of a region! You should have already experienced that in Xiaonan City, right?
Lin Yuan nodded. "You're right, the Ghost Realm is indeed terrifying. In the Ghost Bell Tower's Ghost Realm, we even have difficulty finding its true form. You have a Ghost Realm?"
"That's natural. Today I'll show you what a true powerhouse is, not something that can be achieved with flashy tricks. By the way, if you can't hold on, you can admit defeat."
The lights in the room suddenly started flickering, as if there was a problem with the connection.
The once bright room now became dim, as if a thin layer of mist had spread out, severely affecting Lin Yuan's vision.
Even the walls just a few meters away were now blurred and indistinct.
"This is my ghost realm."
Jiang Shangbai's voice was elusive; one moment he was right in front of Lin Yuan, and the next he was right behind him.
But behind Lin Yuan was a wall, and Jiang Shangbai's voice seemed to come from dozens of meters away, hollow and eerie.
"I'm inviting you to join my circle of friends, but you're doubting my abilities. Well, I'll just test you out. One strike, just one strike. If you survive the next attack, what I promised will still stand. Whether you join headquarters or the circle of friends, I'll give you ample resources."
Don't even think about running away.
You don't have an equal Ghost Domain, so you can't directly confront me, can't see my shadow, can't make contact with me in advance, and there's nothing to reflect light from. Even the reflection from a cell phone mirror is blocked by my Ghost Domain ability. Your methods have been completely suppressed by me and you can't use them.
Your core abilities are so fragile and powerless in the face of the Ghost Realm.
"Take this hit me head-on. Let me see the true terror of this ghost you control, so I can make an assessment."
An assessment that a single failure could mean certain death.
In the thin mist, Jiang Shangbai calmly looked at Lin Yuan, who was looking for him like a headless fly, and slowly walked over.
Guo Fan alone has instilled such arrogance and pride in Lin Yuan.
Even if you manage to recruit subordinates later, they will become difficult to control and troublesome. In that case, you should first break down their arrogance to make them easier to manage.
If Lin Yuan dies, it's because he lacks strength, and he deserves it.
Jiang Shangbai was walking forward, but his feet were already raised, which is not something a normal person could do.
But a strange change occurred to him; it seemed that some strange force was supporting his body as he rose up.
As he lifted his feet, a pair of feet, resembling those of a dead person, suddenly emerged from the shadow beneath his feet.
The soles of his feet were covered in lividity, eerie and cold, and they took his place on the ground.
He was now like someone walking on stilts, his feet not touching the ground but suspended in mid-air, yet he could walk normally because a pair of feet, like those of a vengeful ghost, were taking his steps.
A ghost stepped on a person!
Or rather, it's a ghost that tramples people!
If these dead-like feet were to step on anyone while walking, the living would surely die. Even a ghost tamer might not be able to stop this ghost from stepping on them.
It can even come into contact with real ghosts. He once kicked a real ghost away, and the ghost that was kicked would be in a state of stagnation for a few seconds to tens of seconds, or even a few minutes.
Now, Jiang Shangbai had walked behind Lin Yuan and stepped on his back.
