After Yang Haoran left Ye Zhiqiu's room, he headed directly to the study. He then dialed a phone number, and before long, four figures appeared at the study's entrance.
"Come in," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Hearing this, the four respectfully entered the study, the last one gently closing the door behind them.
These four were none other than the four individuals who had donned Skins, despite their Spirit Body forms.
Two of them had remained in the villa all this time, while the other two had gone out to attend to their personal affairs during the New Year period. However, all four had now returned to the villa.
"Boss,"
"Emissary of Death,"
Yang Haoran smiled and nodded, then asked, "Are your personal matters all settled?"
"All settled," two of the four respectfully replied.
"It's good that they're settled. From now on, I'll grant you a period of leave every so often. During your time off, you're free to use your time as you wish. Unless it's a matter of immense importance, I won't recall you," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Understood! " The four responded respectfully, their voices loud and synchronized.
"Your current state is excellent; I'm very satisfied. Next, I'll assign your future missions."
As Yang Haoran spoke of their future missions, the four's expressions turned solemn, and they listened intently, afraid to miss a single word.
"Your mission has several key objectives, and I want you to remember them firmly. Firstly, I need you to search for ghosts for me, but not ordinary ghosts. Instead, I want powerful Evil Spirits (evil Spirits), or even the immediately powerful Evil Spirits (evil Spirits). Leave ordinary ghosts to the other Night Watchers; you don't need to bother with them. The scope of your ghost-hunting is not limited to Lecheng; anywhere outside of Ancheng is fair game for you to seek out powerful ghosts. While searching for powerful ghosts, you can also gather as much intelligence as possible for me. Information on various organizations and sects falls within your collection mandate."
Yang Haoran's approach was, in fact, overstepping his bounds. But to gain greater benefits, he still decided to proceed this way. Only by doing so could he grow stronger faster and close the gap with other Emissaries of Death.
Such overstepping was a strict taboo within their Underworld Official circle. Once discovered by the local Emissary of Death, it wouldn't be as simple as a dispute. It might even lead to armed conflict.
Yang Haoran was fully aware of the pros and cons involved. However, since he dared to make such a decision, it was naturally after careful deliberation.
If he were to operate according to the Underworld Office's rules, or the unspoken rules of the circle, then his desire to rapidly grow stronger was simply unrealistic.
Therefore, he could only take an unconventional path. Even if there were certain risks, it didn't matter. As long as he could gain sufficient benefits, breaking the rules was nothing. After all, it wasn't the first time he'd broken the rules.
Once such rule-breaking was committed, there was only a first time and a last time. The first time was the beginning, the last time was the end, and that end would come at his death. As for how many times in between, that would depend on how long he lived.
As his words fell, Yang Haoran paused. He observed the four's expressions, seeing their solemn faces as they quietly awaited his next words. He then continued.
"Secondly, I need you to help me scout for talent. I need capable individuals in all fields. If you can recruit them to my banner through your own abilities, that would naturally be for the best. If you can't handle it, then I'll personally step in, but the precondition is that they truly possess the abilities worth my recruitment."
"Finally, I'll give each of you a large sum of New Beginning Coins. You can give a portion of these New Beginning Coins to your families, allowing them to have better living conditions. As for how much is appropriate, you can decide based on your family's circumstances."
"As for the rest of the money, I need you to help me acquire some items. For instance, Demon Weapons from Demon Hunters, talismans from Talisman Masters, magical artifacts from Exorcists, and so on. Any item possessing special power is within my requirements. These items are generally difficult to purchase with New Beginning Coins, but there are always exceptions; it's not impossible to find some that slipped through the net, some who don't recognize their value, or some who are in urgent need of New Beginning Coins. From their hands, you should be able to acquire these items."
At this point, Yang Haoran lightly waved his hand. Four mobile phones and four bank cards appeared on the table.
"The phones are prepared specifically for you. And these four bank cards each contain a large amount of New Beginning Coins. If it's not enough, you can contact me anytime."
"Gathering all sorts of intelligence, seeking out useful talents, and acquiring valuable items with New Beginning Coins to the best of your ability—these are your future missions. Searching for ghosts and scouting for talent are the most crucial tasks. As for acquiring treasures with New Beginning Coins, just do your best; it's alright if you can't find anything. You can undertake these three tasks simultaneously. The workload is somewhat substantial—can you handle it?"
In response to Yang Haoran's question, the four gave an affirmative reply in unison.
"Yes!"
Their voices were resounding, their attitudes resolute, and the four displayed ample confidence.
"Very good. Since your team isn't fully established yet, I won't put too much pressure on you in the early stages. Just do your utmost to accomplish these tasks. Later, I will gradually refine your team. By then, your missions won't be as complex as they are now, however, until then, I'll have to trouble you four to handle these matters."
"Understood! " the four replied in unison.
Yang Haoran nodded, then continued, "Your current strength is too weak. If you encounter any danger, I fear you won't even have the power to protect yourselves. Therefore, I plan to enhance your strength. This way, when you go out on missions, your safety will have a certain guarantee, and I can feel more at ease, without having to overly worry about your well-being."
Speaking of which, Yang Haoran retrieved a box from his spatial storage. When the box opened, it revealed a Soul Pill.
By the end of last year, he had obtained a total of six Soul Pills in the Underworld. He had used one at Cloud Mist Mountain Manor, leaving five. Now that he had taken out another Soul Pill, only four of the original six remained.
At this moment, as he took out this Soul Pill, he had no intention of putting it back. Instead, he meant to use the entire Soul Pill on the four of them.
Although it pained him somewhat, for the sake of the four's safety, he decided to do so. Moreover, only by increasing their strength could the four better complete their missions.
The four were already ghosts to begin with. Even if they wore Skins, it wouldn't change the fact that they were ghosts.
Because they possessed power in life, their Spirit Bodies after death differed from those of ordinary people. While they hadn't yet reached the Evil Spirit realm, they were much stronger than ordinary Wangling.
What Yang Haoran intended to do now was to elevate the four's cultivation realm to that of an Evil Spirit (evil Spirit). He had never done such a thing before, so he couldn't be sure if one Soul Pill would be enough.
If one Soul Pill wasn't sufficient, he would take out another. No matter what, he would raise the four's Realm to Evil Spirit (Evil Spirit).
Only by stepping into the Evil Spirit (Evil Spirit) realm would the four gain the ability to create illusions. With this ability, if they truly encountered any enemies, they would have an additional means of defense. They wouldn't be crushed like ants by their opponents.
Without breaking through to the Evil Spirit realm, their greatest ability was simply to scare people. Against timid ordinary people, they might have some lethality. But against non-ordinary people with special abilities, relying on scaring them would definitely not work. They would still need some other methods.
Although the four were currently wearing Skins and could manipulate them or wield weapons when facing enemies, Yang Haoran still felt uneasy with just that. That's why he was determined to raise the four's realm to Evil Spirit (Evil Spirit).
The four's gazes fell upon the Soul Pill. Although they tried their best to suppress their emotions, excitement still showed on their faces.
Yang Haoran saw the four's reactions in his eyes. He smiled, then waved his hand, undoing the seal on the Soul Pill.
Immediately, a dense black Yin Qi rose from the Soul Pill. And all of this black Yin Qi was precious Pure Yin Qi.
Under Yang Haoran's control, the Pure Yin Qi released by the Soul Pill transformed into four streams. These continuously flowed rapidly into the four's bodies.
