Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo
Chapter 15 Making a Deal with Ghosts
Chu Mo was not lying. In the current paranormal circle, although the headquarters had serious problems in handling paranormal events and personnel in the early stages, it could not deny the fact that the other party had a deep foundation.
What I need is precisely this kind of foundation.
Upon hearing this...
Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought the other party would take this opportunity to make other demands, but now it seems that the other party is not quite what he expected.
He coughed, cleared his throat, and changed his form of address, "Since Mr. Chu thinks it's okay, I'll help you with the filing later. As for the city where the position will be assigned, it may not be possible to transfer you to Dachang City."
He knew that Chu Mo was a local of Dachang City, but because of Zhou Zheng's death, the headquarters had transferred a new person in charge.
If we add Yang Jian, the temporary person in charge, then Dachang City already has two people in charge. At this time, it would be a waste of Chu Mo's talents to take up the post.
"Since Captain Zhao has said that, he must have already chosen a location. Let's just get straight to the point; I don't like beating around the bush."
Chu Mo didn't mind changing cities. For him, Dachang City didn't really have much to offer.
Zhao Jianguo pondered for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, apart from Dachang City, other cities can be mobilized at any time."
Chu Mo's lips twitched. So they just didn't want him to develop his career locally.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then let's go with Zhongzhou City."
The reason for choosing this city is quite simple: Taiping Ancient Town is located here, and he is particularly interested in the Ghost Street within it.
In the original story, when Yang Jian entered Ghost Street, he only stayed in the shallow areas and did not go any deeper. He was very curious about what was in the depths of Ghost Street.
We might even find the remains of the first and second generations during the Republic of China period.
"Can."
Zhao Jianguo readily agreed.
"However, during your tenure, headquarters will need to assess your abilities, and we hope you can understand that."
"test?"
Chu Mo said, "If it's something like a Q&A or psychological test, then there's no need. I'm perfectly normal, and I think the best way to test someone is through direct cooperation. What do you think, Captain Zhao?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Zhao Jianguo felt much more relaxed, and his tense nerves quickly dissipated.
This Chu Mo is not as difficult to get along with as other ghost tamers.
He continued, "Here's the thing: headquarters has been dealing with a case that we can't trace back to, but the number of people who have been missing for years is steadily increasing. We need you to go to Zhongzhou City to investigate this matter and file it. If it really is a paranormal event, it would be best if you could record it in a file and give it to us."
Seemingly fearing Chu Mo might misunderstand, Zhao Jianguo added, "You only need to record the course and details of events; you don't need to handle anything special. Of course, it would be even better if you could record the vengeful ghost's killing patterns or even deal with it directly; headquarters will give you extra benefits in that case."
"If there are no problems, I will contact the person in charge in Zhongzhou City afterwards and have her connect you with the details of the process."
He was giving Chu Mo a heads-up in advance to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, but I need ten yuan for paper money for this collaboration."
Chu Mo agreed and stated his terms.
As far as he knew, the headquarters also collected this kind of supernatural currency, but had not yet figured out how to use it. He could take advantage of this information gap to make more money.
"I will consult with my superiors on this. The specific amount will depend on their approval before the next approval can be issued."
"It's okay, I'll start taking action whenever you can get approval."
The conversation ended quickly, and Chu Mo hung up the phone, deciding to go to Guanjiang Community first.
In the original story, the old house in Guanjiang Community from the Republican era has three doors, each corresponding to a ghost mirror, a ghost cabinet, and a Yin-Yang path leading to a haunted place.
Among them, the Ghost Cabinet can trade with living people to obtain desired intelligence and information.
Chu Mo needs to use the ghost cabinet to find the next stop along the route of the paranormal bus.
This is the first step in completing my plan to create the Red and White Duo.
He quickly arrived at Guanjiang Community according to the navigation, at which time the community was still under construction.
He walked in as if no one else was there and stopped next to an old-looking house.
"This should be it."
Chu Mo went up to the second floor and was greeted by three doors made of different materials.
The iron gate holds a ghost mirror, the bronze gate hides a ghost cabinet, and the last wooden door connects to a path that links the living and the dead.
Chu Mo's talisman swayed, and the Ghost Eye Ghost Domain quickly enveloped him, passing through the seemingly useless bronze door.
Inside was a small, dark, and very limited room.
The room was very dusty, and apart from a wooden table, there was only an old mahogany cabinet placed in the corner.
There was a line of text engraved on the table.
"You will have everything, and you will lose everything. Be careful."
Chu Mo knew this was Ghost Chest's trading logic.
If a living person wants to trade with this thing, they need to pay a fee in advance, and after receiving help from the Ghost Chest, they also need to help the Ghost Chest complete a task in return.
That's outrageous.
But that's how it is when you make a deal with ghosts; the living can't possibly gain an advantage from it.
However, Chu Mo was not in a hurry. Instead, he pasted several talismans on the cabinet.
"Units affixed with talismans will not only be suppressed, but their supernatural abilities will also be stolen by the talismans. If I do this to the Ghost Cabinet, will I be able to obtain some of its abilities?"
Chu Mo wanted to take advantage of the supernatural properties of this thing for free, since no one would do a losing deal.
The moment the talisman was pasted onto the ghost cabinet, the cabinet began to shake violently as if something was wrong.
Drops of blood began to seep from the ghost cabinet and gradually spread to Chu Mo's feet.
The talisman's supernatural power has failed.
"Is it because the quantity is too small?"
Chu Mo did not give up. He continued to add more talismans, covering almost every corner of the cabinet, but it still didn't work.
The power of talismans to suppress supernatural phenomena is limited; ghosts with excessively high supernatural power will not be affected.
Moreover, the blood overflowing from the ghost cabinet was very similar to the blood of the stern ghost, and it seemed to have the effect of suppressing the supernatural. As a result, the cabinet was almost unaffected when the two collided.
However, Ghost Cabinet clearly reacted instinctively to Chu Mo's actions.
Upon seeing this, he decisively took back all the talismans.
If the supernatural cannot be suppressed, then the theft cannot be carried out.
Seeing that there was no way to get this ghost for free, they had no choice but to give up.
With the disappearance of the talisman, the ghost cabinet quickly returned to calm, and the spilled blood returned to the cabinet and dried up quickly without leaving a trace.
After everything calms down.
Chu Mo pulled a slip of paper from the dusty cupboard and wrote: "Tell me the next stop the paranormal bus will take us to in reality."
He placed the note he had written into the lattice window on top of the cupboard, and soon a force inside swallowed the paper completely.
After waiting for about thirty seconds, the note was thrown out of the locker below.
Chu Mo picked up the note and unfolded it. Apart from the line of text he had written, there was a strange, crooked line of writing below it.
