Six p.m.

Furen Shopping Mall.

Chu Mo arrived at the address given by Yang Jian at the agreed time. In the original story, many people went missing or even had their heads replaced because of the invasion of the headless ghost in this shopping mall.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall a ghost he had encountered on the bus that was also fiddling with its head.

It's unclear whether the ghost that ran off the bus was a headless ghost.

"The danger and terror levels aren't high, but we can't afford to delay. We need to resolve the matter of the first generation before nightfall."

Chu Mo waited by the roadside for a while. The surrounding area was also cordoned off, and pedestrians nearby avoided it.

A short while later, Yang Jian walked over.

The two crossed the police line together and went straight into the mall.

As soon as he entered, a faint stench of corpses lingered around Chu Mo's nose.

"There are definitely some interesting things about this place, but I'm curious, how much money did they give you?"

Chu Mo asked, seemingly concerned.

Yang Jian felt a little embarrassed, because he hadn't actually met the owner of the place yet.

"The price hasn't been negotiated yet, but the boss's lowest offer is one million."

Yang Jian answered truthfully based on what he saw in the GG list.

Chu Mo remained silent.

One million is a considerable sum of money for ordinary people.

But in paranormal events, even a ghost can fetch a price of 100 million on the market.

The two are worlds apart.

He looked up at the fifth floor of the mall and suddenly asked, "Yang Jian, if we resolve this matter today, how long will it take to get the money?"

"Three days, I think. The security guards here said their boss hired a professional monk to exorcise the evil spirits. We can just snatch the business away from them then."

After a pause, Yang Jian seemed to realize that the key issue was not money.

"Wait, you mean this can be resolved today?"

He looked at Chu Mo in disbelief.

We don't even know where the ghosts are, let alone the patterns of their killings. Just figuring these things out will take time. How could we possibly solve this today?

Chu Mo, however, was confident of victory. He pointed to a clothing store on the fifth floor of the mall.

"Come with me, it can be done in three minutes if you're quick."

Yang Jian was stunned.

Can you handle a paranormal incident in three minutes?

Isn't that ridiculous?

If it were within a day, that would at least have some credibility, but three minutes is simply absurd.

Yang Jian felt that Chu Mo didn't seem like the type to joke around, so he didn't say anything and just silently followed.

Because of the power outage, the two had to walk upstairs.

Just as the two arrived on the fifth floor, a voice suddenly came from one of the rooms.

"Ghost tamers, are you here to steal our business too?"

The other person was dressed as a plumber and looked very young.

"Who are you?"

Yang Jian immediately became wary, squinting as he stared at the other person expressionlessly.

Chu Mo waved his hand.

"In the paranormal world, business has always been about whoever has the ability makes the money, don't you think? Ghost Blood is strict."

"You know my name?"

"This is not a confidential document. Club members do not have the same level of confidentiality as headquarters."

His stern expression turned serious. "Are you from headquarters?"

The other party seems to be someone of considerable influence and knows me quite well, which is not a good thing.

Chu Mo shook his head, showing no intention of continuing the conversation, and turned to continue walking towards the clothing store.

He scrutinized the two of them sternly and seriously. "Judging from your state of being possessed by supernatural forces, you must be newcomers, right?"

"The ghosts in this mall are very well hidden. I've been scouting the area for days, but I haven't been able to find the source. You might not be able to do it."

"How about you consider cooperating with me? My supernatural abilities are very effective against vengeful ghosts. After it's done, we'll split the profits equally among the three of us, how about it?"

He made a stern suggestion.

Chu Mo didn't pause; he simply waved his hand, "We can handle this kind of small matter ourselves."

"Brother, I understand your mindset right now. I was also very arrogant when I first became a Ghost Tamer, but paranormal events are not as simple as you think."

"Besides, you don't even have a container to hold them. Even if you could contain the ghosts, how would you store them?"

These words reminded Chu Mo.

Not having a sealed container would indeed be very troublesome.

"Cooperation is possible, but I have one condition: I must keep the box after the deal is done; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it further."

Chu Mo's attitude was quite firm. Even without a sealed container, the supernatural properties of the yellow paper meant that the problem of storing ghosts could be solved in a short time.

Yan Li remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

But Chu Mo wouldn't wait for him. "I'll only give you three minutes. After three minutes, I'll most likely not need your container anymore."

He stood in front of a clothing store and kicked open the glass door.

Seeing that Chu Mo was so engrossed in his role, Yang Jian was almost convinced.

"What do you need me to do?"

Yang Jian suddenly asked.

He felt he needed to do something, at least not just stand by and watch; that would be too inappropriate.

But Chu Mo shook his head. "You can just wait at the door."

After saying that, he took out a three-yuan note from his pocket and casually threw it on the ground.

He then took two steps back and waited there.

Yang Jian didn't understand, but he felt that the paper money was a bit strange and didn't seem to be for the living.

The paper money fell to the ground.

A chilling wind seemed to blow through the clothing store, causing the paper money to flutter inside.

Immediately afterwards, the mannequins in the store began to move irrationally toward the location of the paper money.

Yan Li, who had noticed something amiss, also rushed over.

"These are..."

He clearly had never encountered this situation before.

Yang Jian opened his ghost eyes and briefly glanced at the layout of the fifth floor.

But soon, the doors of all the shops on the floor began to creak, and the quiet building was instantly filled with noisy footsteps.

"Damn it, it seems we've triggered that ghost's killing pattern."

Yan Li looked troubled, unsure how to intervene.

Yang Jian didn't speak; he just looked at Chu Mo, seemingly waiting for the other's reply.

But Chu Mo calmly took out a talisman and dripped blood onto it.

The supernatural medium took effect.

In an instant, a ghost eye exactly like Yang Jian's tore through the flesh and opened from Chu Mo's forehead.

Its scarlet eyes darted around slightly and quickly locked onto a spot inside the clothing store.

The red light spread, expanding the area.

"I've found you."

Without warning, an old ghost from the Republican era, completely wrapped in talismans, appeared behind Chu Mo.

He tore off a talisman from the old ghost's body and, with the help of the Ghost Eye and Ghost Domain, transferred it to a tall, slender dummy.

This mannequin, mixed among the other models, lurked in the darkness, attempting to approach the direction of the paper money.

The supernatural suppression took shape instantly.

The footsteps that had been lingering on other floors, as well as the other mannequins in the clothing store, all stopped at this moment and quickly lost their support, scattering to the ground.

Chu Mo withdrew the supernatural power and walked out, carrying a dark figure covered in talismans.

"So...it's resolved?"

Yang Jian and Yan Li hadn't reacted yet.

That's way too fast!
