In the end, Wu Liang did not turn and run away; he simply sighed and found his editorial departnt, sealed the contract, and formally beca a journalist.
As for the issue of the journalist certificate, he had already obtained it before graduation.
"Ah, finally a newcor has joined us. It’s not easy!"
Upon entering and reporting, Wu Liang received a warm welco from five or six colleagues in the departnt. It seed the TV station’s editorial departnt hadn’t welcod a newcor for quite a while.
When asked why, everyone simply lanted quietly: "No way around it, in this era of rampant ghosts, many strange news items are caused by fierce ghosts, making journalists more prone to danger during field interviews and investigations than others."
"Not to ntion our departnt is primarily responsible for reporting supernatural event information within Chengyang City."
After so inquiries, Wu Liang understood.
The salary and benefits of the editorial departnt are naturally higher than those of other departnts, but the risk is also greater.
In fact, almost every journalist in the editorial departnt knows an official Awakened as a friend.
Whenever a supernatural event occurs sowhere, the officials would notify them.
One benefit of reporting these events where Awakeneds remove fierce ghosts is stabilizing public panic; another is helping the official Awakened of the Paranormal Handling Departnt beco better integrated into the social security system for public acceptance.
After all, the supernatural revival has only been around for four years, and the official Paranormal Handling Departnt was established just two years ago.
To make the entire departnt ingrained in people’s minds like the image of the police before the supernatural revival in two years, dia coverage is indispensable.
"Just in ti, here’s a case for you to practice with. It was just reported yesterday."
With that, the deputy minister handed Wu Liang a docunt.
Looking closely, it was rely a murder case.
Before the supernatural revival, the appearance of a murder case would definitely be widely discussed by most people in the sa city, and at the very least, it would be circulated widely online.
But today’s truly explosive news is certainly so supernatural event with an extensive impact.
For example — yesterday’s supernatural event at the TV station.
The report was rushed out this morning, taking up a substantial portion of the morning paper.
"Let see, a couple wants to divorce due to the wife’s infidelity, and their long-standing dispute over child custody ends with no resolution.
Yesterday, when the husband’s elder relative went to the wife’s ho for further negotiation, he beca emotionally agitated and suddenly committed murder, stabbing the wife to death on the spot. Tsk, deep-seated grievances indeed."
Wu Liang flipped through the docunt handed over to him, involuntarily lanting its emotional nature.
Although this murder case seed sowhat emotional, even dramatic, excessive murder was inherently the most common among murder cases.
Such things are almost certain, and there’s no need to delve into any details; no matter what, the husband’s elder relative will be sentenced for murder.
But the more tricky situation now is that after committing the cri, the elder relative, already old and overly agitated, unexpectedly died suddenly on the spot.
Now both families are in grief, each blaming the other, and even considering litigation.
"This report is indeed suitable for a newcor to handle. After all, everything will be decided by the judge; you just need to truthfully report the corresponding situation," the deputy minister, seeing Wu Liang’s sowhat worried look, stepped forward to pat his shoulder, reassuring him.
But who knew Wu Liang’s gaze was fixed on a picture on the docunt?
It was a scene photo of the elder relative’s sudden death, taken by the police who responded to the report. Such things only appear in the file, certainly not to be included in the report.
But Wu Liang noticed that the elder relative’s clothing looked a bit unusual.
"Why does this attire look familiar to ?"
Just like the old man who tried to scam him this morning, the outer layers of the clothes were ordinary, but the lining was a peculiar burial garnt!
Again with the burial garnt!
Given this, no one who saw the photo found it strange?
A living person wearing a burial garnt, not to ntion the police handling the case and the journalists who got the file, even a regular person, wouldn’t they find it odd? Even his son?
"What? Are you scared?"
Seeing Wu Liang in a daze, the deputy minister thought he was sowhat afraid of reporting such a murder case.
But soon after, Wu Liang shook his head and smiled, saying, "Not really afraid. This does seem like a ’suitable’ report for ; indeed, others might not handle it well."
"Haha, as long as you have confidence, that’s enough. Later this afternoon, take the equipnt and check the situation out, try to wrap it up within the next couple of days."
Hearing the deputy minister’s praise and expectation, Wu Liang smiled without responding.
That burial garnt definitely has big problems!
Though he had only caught a glimpse this morning and didn’t find any essence of a fierce ghost, he originally thought its ominous sensation would only cause discomfort at most.
But he didn’t expect it already connected with a murder case, aning it likely wasn’t as simple as he thought.
After reading the file, Wu Liang excused himself to the bathroom, leaving his departnt office and heading to the restroom.
Locking the bathroom door, he lightly tapped his forehead to bring out the "Ghost Compendium."
He ticulously flipped through it, attempting to find records related to fierce ghosts like burial garnts. If he did discover clues inside, he could instantly verify if the burial garnt in Chengyang City matched the record.
Then it would be ti to work, preparing to use it as feed for his subordinates.
After searching for about ten minutes.
A piece of good news and bad news erged simultaneously:
The good news is that the "Ghost Compendium" indeed records a fierce ghost regarding burial garnts, including its habits and weaknesses.
The bad news is the content is recorded as follows—
[Discovery Date: Disaster Calendar, July 3, Year 5]
[Location: Discovered by Wu Liang at the banks of Chenlong River, Chengyang City, Huaxia]
[Habits: Can possess the elderly and frail, causing their inner malice to grow rapidly, ultimately leading them down a disastrous path in a burst of malice, surviving by consuming such malice. Difficult to detect if malice hasn’t erupted]
[Weakness: Needs the possessed to willingly remove the burial garnt, then burn it to ashes imdiately, or burn both the garnt and the possessor together]
Wu Liang hadn’t expected to beco the first discoverer of a fierce ghost one day, and this Shouyi Ghost had slipped past his nose.
Probably, in other people’s eyes, these elders’ inner linings aren’t burial garnts at all but normal clothing.
Thankfully, he possesses six fierce ghosts, and inadvertently noticed the burial garnt’s anomaly.
Otherwise, who knows how many people this thing would have to kill before the officials detect the problem.
"The key is... making the possessed willingly remove the burial garnt. Isn’t that too demanding?" Wu Liang felt a bit troubled.
Now, the elder in the murder case is already dead, and the Shouyi Ghost is attached to the editorial departnt’s minister’s elder relative.
He had just intimidated the person this morning.
What’s the solution to this?
