Chapter 820: Chapter 323: The Birth of a Legend, Life Ghost Cleaner!
"Uncle Wei, thank you for your hard work." Wei Banmeng nodded slightly, then introduced, "These are my friends."
The middle-aged man referred to as Uncle Wei quickly scanned the faces of Fang Qingyu and the others.
He paused a moment longer on Fang Qingyu’s face, a trace of subtle reverence flickering in his eyes.
He then returned to calmness and nodded as a greeting, "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me; this way through the special passage."
He didn’t ask a single additional question.
Directly leading the group toward an elevator that required a special access card to activate.
The elevator’s interior was spacious, operating with extraordinary stability and speed.
The numbers changed rapidly, heading straight to the top floor.
The elevator doors slid open silently to reveal a quiet corridor with thick carpeting and soft lighting.
Uncle Wei led the group straight to an unmarked meeting room at the end.
He opened the door, revealing a room already set up.
A massive circular conference table with a projector at its center, and walls with one-way glass overlooking the factory area dotted with lights below.
Beside the conference table.
A middle-aged man with neatly groomed hair, dressed in a well-tailored dark gray suit, immediately stood up.
He had a refined appearance, the person in charge of the Wei Group in the City of Injustice.
Wei Zhongping.
"Miss." Wei Zhongping slightly bowed to Wei Banmeng, then turned his gaze to Fang Qingyu, also nodding respectfully, "Mr. Fang, everyone, please have a seat."
"Uncle Wei, time is short, let’s get straight to the point."
Wei Banmeng signaled everyone to take their seats, getting straight to business.
"Of course." Wei Zhongping dropped the pleasantries, walked to the control panel, and quickly tapped on the light screen with his fingers.
The projector in the center of the meeting room instantly lit up.
It clearly projected a 3D map of the Wei Group’s three core industrial areas in the City of Injustice.
"Please take a look." Wei Zhongping’s voice was steady and clear, "Our Wei Group has three core industries here: the C7 district large integrated warehouse cluster, primarily responsible for transit storage. The Life Ghost material refining processing factory in the northern suburbs, which is our core profit point. And the frontier technology research institute located at the edge of the Inner City."
His laser pointer indicated the projected image of a large, complexly structured factory area.
This was the Heavenly Smoke Processing Factory.
"Among them, the Life Ghost fluctuations at the Heavenly Smoke Processing Factory occur most frequently and are also the most dangerous."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the group, especially Fang Qingyu: "According to usual practice, we evaluate based on fluctuation intensity and hire the corresponding Cleaner Team to handle it. Regarding fees..."
"President Wei."
Fang Qingyu calmly interrupted Wei Zhongping’s discussion of remuneration.
His eyes focused on the factory’s image, "You can discuss fees with Banmeng. Our goal is to hunt the Life Ghost."
Hunt the Life Ghost?!
Wei Zhongping was visibly stunned, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
He instinctively looked at Wei Banmeng.
As a core member of the Wei Group, he naturally knew how much the family valued Fang Qingyu, and was prepared to pay a sky-high fee.
But the other party was only interested in the Life Ghost itself?
This was completely beyond his expectations and business logic.
Wei Banmeng met Wei Zhongping’s questioning gaze, and gave a helpless, slight smile: "Uncle Wei, just do as he says. Send me the specific cost accounting later."
"...Understood." Wei Zhongping suppressed the emotions in his heart, quickly adjusted his expression, and solemnly nodded.
He looked at Fang Qingyu again: "In that case, please follow me; the vehicles are waiting downstairs, ready to head to the processing factory immediately."
Three unmarked black off-road vehicles blended into the night like phantoms.
Silently they left the Wei Mansion’s underground parking lot.
Racing towards the city’s more peripheral industrial area.
About half an hour later.
The convoy left the brightly lit city core, with surrounding buildings increasingly filled with the industrial style of large pipelines and steel frameworks.
The outline of the Celestial Smoke and Fate Ghost Material Processing Factory gradually emerged in the night.
It was more like a fortress built from steel, concrete, and large pipes than a factory.
Towering chimneys stood like silent giants under the night sky.
The factory perimeter was surrounded by tall alloy walls crowned with turrets.
Clearly intended to deter people.
The factory internally was brightly lit.
A low mechanical rumble was faintly audible.
The convoy stopped at an inconspicuous side door several hundred meters from the main entrance of the factory.
A team leader wearing a Wei security uniform, exuding a robust aura, was already waiting there, saluting Wei Zhongping and Wei Banmeng as they got out of the car.
"Miss, President Wei. The inside of the factory and a three-kilometer perimeter have had their surveillance temporarily disabled, and the safe passage is open," the team leader said concisely.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Zhongping nodded, "Guide them to familiarize themselves with the area."
"Yes!"
Under the team leader’s guidance.
Fang Qingyu and seven others quickly entered this fortress.
Within the factory, the roads were complex and intertwined.
The team leader spoke rapidly, leading the group through several core areas.
Mainly the raw material pre-processing area and some crucial zones, as well as a few remote corners on the factory’s periphery where Life Ghost fluctuations frequently occurred.
The team leader finally summarized, "The areas where fluctuations occur most frequently and severely are the extraction workshop and the outer pipeline area of the storage depot."
"If you encounter any unmanageable over-spec fluctuations or incidents, please notify us immediately."
Wei Banmeng received the items and nodded.
The team leader said no more, saluting the group again.
Quickly returning to his post.
The massive rumbling continued.
Fang Qingyu surveyed the surrounding forest of steel structures and said solemnly, "Disperse and deploy. Center the extraction workshop and storage depot outer areas, and radiate monitoring. Old Lu, you take the west cooling tower area; Lin Yu, the east pipeline zone... Jiang Wei and I will move."
"Remember, treat every fluctuation as Tier Three. Report coordinates immediately upon detection! Support must be swift!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison, their expressions immediately turning serious.
Seven figures silently dispersed.
Each heading to their designated area.
Quickly vanishing into various shadows.
Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei leaped onto a platform three stories high.
Here the view was relatively open, overlooking the majority of the factory’s core.
The cold night wind whipped at their clothes.
Time passed slowly with the rumbling of machines and the wail of the night wind.
And this Life Ghost processing factory, indeed, lived up to its reputation as the place with the highest frequency of Life Ghost fluctuations.
After just twenty minutes.
Lu Jiuyuan’s steady voice came through with a trace of tension, clearly stating:
"At the base of the west cooling tower, Life Ghost fluctuation detected, force field activated!"
The first Life Ghost fluctuation had appeared.
