"Hmm? Why are we here?"
Having transformed into the likeness of the chairman and having their memories altered, the leader of the car accident ghosts looked around in confusion.
The next moment.
Upon seeing the two chairmen beside them, their expressions changed:
"Holy crap! Ghost exorcists!"
At the same time.
"Ah!!"
"Chairman of the Ban Fa Association?!"
The two chairmen beside them also cried out. They saw the two chairmen and felt the terrifying aura emanating from them, immediately falling to their knees in fear.
[Ding! Car accident ghosts... Holy crap?! Two more terrifying ghost exorcists, wait, why did I say 'more'?]

Instantly.
Facing the 'terrifying existence' radiating a half-step镇国级 (Zhen Guo Ji) aura, they knew escape was impossible. Without a word, they immediately knelt and begged for mercy in unison:
"Master, please don't kill me."
"Chairman, I know you are the chairman, please don't kill me, I am a good ghost."
"I was just passing by, don't kill me."
As the words were spoken.
[Ding! The car accident ghosts were stunned... Hmm? Why has my voice changed like this? No, why does my voice sound like these two ghost exorcists, and no, these two ghost exorcists look alike!]
[Host gains System Points +40]
They all discovered that their voices had suddenly become aged. Soon, they noticed their clothes seemed to have changed, their hands had also become aged, and as they discovered more, they realized their appearances had all changed.
Not only that.
"Wait, why are there two Chairmen?"
The ghost among the car accident ghosts who had seen the Chairman of the Ban Fa Association realized there were two chairmen in front of them, and after further investigation, saw that they too had become chairmen.
Afterward.
The sudden changes caused them to instinctively converse and understand each other's identities.
"Holy crap?! Big brother, how did we become chairmen?"
"I say, little brother, who have you been talking about as chairman all this time? And how did we become like this?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"The chairman is the chairman of the Ban Fa Association. Our current appearances are that of the current chairman of the Ban Fa Association."
Then.
Upon learning the situation, the car accident ghosts were stunned. They looked at each other, at each other's chairman-like appearances, and felt the half-step 镇国级 (Zhen Guo Ji) aura emanating from them. A bizarre thought emerged...
[Ding! Car accident ghosts... Sibal! We've become chairmen? Then we must be...]
[Host gains System Points +50]
...
On the other side.
Zhang Wei smiled as he listened to the system notifications in his mind.
"Brother Wei, what are you smiling about?"
Yu Xiaoqi watched Zhang Wei emerge from the bathroom after his shower. Just as he was about to ask if he wanted to play LoL, he choked and changed his question:
"Are you that happy after taking a shower? Brother Wei, were you playing by yourself in there? How about I call the class monitor and I'll go stay out for the night?"
"What are you talking about? You're the one playing. I have Xiao Xue, so I don't need to play."
"That's true. Then why are you smiling so happily, Brother Wei?"
"Just learned some happy news."
"What happy news, Brother Wei? Tell me, let me be happy too."
"It's nothing, just that my enemies might be in for some bad luck soon."
"Oh? Brother Wei, you have enemies? That's understandable, with your talent, many geniuses would be jealous."
Hearing this.
Zhang Wei smiled and said:
"By the way, Xiao Qi, after class tomorrow it'll be Saturday. Want to go out and explore? It's rare to come to this stolen country. Since it's such a small place, let's go see other parts of the stolen country."
Just letting Zhang Chao and Wu Nian find ghosts was not enough. Zhang Wei planned to personally look for some. Since he had the ability to do as he pleased and could alter ghosts' memories, he wasn't afraid of being discovered. Moreover, he didn't need to get close to the ghosts; a distant glance would suffice.
Because.
In Zhang Wei's opinion, three 'chairmen' were not enough. He needed more, the more the merrier!
...
Time flew by.
As Saturday arrived, Zhang Wei, along with Lu Lianxue and Yu Xiaoqi, left Seoul and went to explore other parts of the stolen country.
With his half-step 镇国级 (Zhen Guo Ji) strength.
Zhang Wei discovered quite a few ghosts.
For instance, while walking on a busy street in Jeju Island, the stolen country, and observing the crowds, Zhang Wei noticed several minor ghosts within the throng. Those minor ghosts were attached to ordinary people, seemingly intending to drain their vital energy.
"Zhang Wei, there are a few minor ghosts over there."
Lu Lianxue also noticed them. She had intended to act but then remembered they were in the stolen country and gave up. However, she recalled Zhang Wei was looking for ghosts and quickly tugged on his sleeve.
"I see them."
Zhang Wei smiled, ruffled Lu Lianxue's head, but his gaze lingered on the minor ghosts for a few moments.
Then.
In Lu Lianxue's eyes, Zhang Wei merely glanced at them and did nothing, then took her to eat some stolen country kimchi rice.
She didn't know.
After they left, and until the evening, as those minor ghosts were about to drain the vital energy of the ordinary people they were attached to while they slept, they clutched their heads in pain. Then, all the minor ghosts transformed into the likeness of the Chairman of the Ban Fa Association, their auras also changing.
It wasn't just these few minor ghosts.
In the following days.
Zhang Wei, Zhang Chao, and Wu Nian continuously searched for ghosts. Without exception, every ghost they saw was subsequently transformed by Zhang Wei into the Chairman of the Ban Fa Association.
And as more and more 'Chairmen of the Ban Fa Association' appeared...
On the other side.
Sunday, on a street in Seoul.
At this moment.
Four ghost exorcists from the Ban Fa Association were walking along the street, conducting their routine patrol.
"Looks like today will be another boring day. How about we go for drinks later? The KTV we always go to, the owner apparently got some very attractive hostesses. Should we check them out?"
"Haha, that wouldn't be good, would it? If they find out we're slacking off during patrol, we'll definitely be punished."
"What are you afraid of? It's already 12 AM. Everyone's asleep, and who would bother checking if the patrol officers are actually patrolling? What do you say... Sibal! Chairman! No, holy crap! Three Chairmen?!"
Just as the former was speaking, his peripheral vision caught something. His smile abruptly ceased, his face turned green with fright, but then he quickly showed a look of astonishment.
"Park Won, what are you talking about? Where's the Chairman?"
The others were also startled. Upon hearing it was the Chairman, they quickly looked, but saw nothing.
In response.
Park Won quickly pointed towards a small alleyway ahead:
"I saw the Chairman. The Chairman was looking at us from that spot just now, and it seemed like there were three Chairmen."
"Huh??"
The other three members of the Ban Fa Association were stunned and looked at Park Won strangely:
"Park Won, you haven't been drinking, have you? What drunk nonsense are you spouting? Three Chairmen? Are you saying the Chairman is a triplet?"
"Haha, I think Park Won was just scared by what you said, and he's seeing hallucinations."
"This guy is probably scared by the Chairman's recent grumpy demeanor. After all, recently the Chairman... cough, the Ban Fa Association lost a half-step 镇国级 (Zhen Guo Ji) artifact. The Chairman has been quite short-tempered lately."
Feeling the disbelief in his companions' words, Park Won shook his head vigorously:
"No, that was really the Chairman. I don't think I was mistaken. I really saw it just now, and... I also saw, three Chairmen were, were, were carrying a woman into the alley."
As soon as he said this.
"????"
The three members of the Ban Fa Association were stunned.
