Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chu Mo opened the file that Cheng Hao had given him.

What comes into view are all the paranormal events that have occurred in Zhongzhou City over the years.

Since we are still in the early stages of the paranormal outbreak, there are fewer than five cases in total on the files, and all of them have already been dealt with.

Skipping over this information, he looked at a batch of cases whose origins had not yet been traced.

[The White Envelope Incident in Zhongzhou City]

[Investigation findings: Multiple missing persons cases in the city are strongly linked to this incident, with an average of over 120 missing persons cases per year.]

[Investigation Results: Based on known information, the white envelopes appear randomly, and everyone who receives one disappears the following day or within a certain timeframe, leaving no trace of their whereabouts.]

[Recorded on March 17st of a certain year, by Cheng Hao.]

This was a case from last year, but to Chu Mo's surprise, Cheng Hao had become the person in charge last year.

Before a plan to control a second ghost was developed, very few ghost controllers could survive for more than three months.

Recalling Cheng Hao's state when I first saw him, there didn't seem to be any supernatural aura about him.

The original work did not describe Cheng Hao's experience of becoming a ghost tamer in much detail, so Chu Mo did not know whether Cheng Hao was a ghost tamer or an ordinary person.

However, Chu Mo was very familiar with this file.

This is the envelope from the Ghost Post Office. The person who receives the envelope will be taken into the post office and become a messenger.

The source of this influence is Dahan City, but traces of it can be found to varying degrees throughout the country.

The files continued to be flipped through.

Fengjia Reservoir, Zhongzhou City.

[Investigation findings: An investigation revealed that this was a reservoir that had been abandoned for over a decade. Dozens of tourists from other areas disappeared completely after entering the area, leaving no trace.]

[Investigation Results: Satellite imagery clearly indicates the presence of a ghost in the reservoir with an unknown killing pattern. The terror level is unknown, but the danger level is C (Restricted). The area has been completely sealed off.]

[Recorded on March 1st of a certain year, by Cheng Hao.]

Chu Mo glanced at the photo attached to the file.

The shooting location was at night. A figure wearing a straw raincoat stood in the reeds, his head slightly raised, his indistinct features seemingly observing the shooting angle.

Chu Mo was very familiar with this figure.

He took out the photo that the ghost had given him and compared it with the one he saw. The two figures were surprisingly identical.

"The same ghost?"

While Chu Mo was surprised, he couldn't help but feel that the world was somewhat insignificant.

He originally planned to have the second generation develop a talisman made of human skin paper, and then use the talisman to find out the exact location of the vengeful ghost that the Ghost Cabinet was looking for.

Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

"This incident just happened near a village around Taiping Ancient Town. It's too much of a coincidence. Could it be related to the Ghost Lake?"

Chu Mo was unsure; at the current pace, it was far from the time when Ghost Lake would erupt.

So this ghost most likely just came from some supernatural place.

He subconsciously recalled a remark the second generation had made to him.

There isn't just one Ghost Street.

The files were flipped through, and soon a copy appeared.

This was a paranormal event that Zhao Jianguo had asked him to investigate, and now it has been directly included in the archives of Zhongzhou City.

The copy contained no detailed investigation results, only a hastily written text, as if the writer had encountered an emergency and hurriedly recorded it.

You can tell from the handwriting that the person is very nervous, or even terrified.

Chu Mo's gaze shifted slightly downwards; this was the will left by the previous head of Zhongzhou City.

Never venture into the paths that appear within the reeds; they will awaken the deepest fears within the living. Remember, if you encounter one, you must leave, or you will become completely lost!

[Recorded on December 31st of a certain year, by Chen Yousheng.]

The document also includes a photo, but instead of a reservoir, it shows a calm lake.

The lake was surrounded by reeds, and among the reeds stood a strange figure dressed in a straw raincoat.

The figure blended perfectly with the reeds, making it difficult to spot without careful observation.

The figure in the straw raincoat seemed to be staring at the camera, which looked quite eerie.

Chu Mo's expression hardened, and he began to think seriously.

He became interested in Chen Yousheng's words.

"Does it evoke fear and cause disorientation, like something out of a ghost realm?"

Chu Mo pondered that although the recorded date showed two years ago, the time was not that long ago.

All told, Cheng Hao took over Zhongzhou City within three months of the death of the previous head, Chen Yousheng.

"No wonder Zhao Jianguo said that the investigation had been going on for a long time, but the source could not be found. There are bound to be many missing persons in places where people can lose their way. And this happens to be the place that the ghost cabinet asked me to look for. Perhaps the ghost in the straw raincoat in the photo can give me the answer."

The two photos, taken at different times, even show different shooting locations. The only things they have in common are the reeds and the vengeful ghost wearing a straw raincoat.

"The paper also mentioned the reservoir in Zhongzhou City. All three points point to the same place. This is too much of a coincidence."

Chu Mo closed the file. It was still early, so he decided to go to the reservoir himself.

Leaving the room, he called Yan Li to be on the safe side.

Although I can also use the severe ghost blood through talismans, the purity is not even in the same league.

Under the influence of the talisman, I can now only use about 30% of the other party's supernatural abilities at most.

If this extra 70% were applied to the same ghost, the result would be completely different.

Yan Li was video chatting with his wife when he saw Chu Mo coming to find him, so he quickly packed up and followed him out.

However, they ran into Cheng Hao again on the way.

"Mr. Chu, are you planning to take a stroll around Zhongzhou City?"

Cheng Hao was carrying a briefcase, seemingly having just returned from a business meeting.

"Let's go take a look at Fengjia Reservoir."

"The paranormal events at Fengjia Reservoir are quite troublesome."

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Hao suggested, "How about I take you there? I need to talk to a club nearby about something."

Chu Mo didn't refuse; having a personal driver for transportation was quite nice.

Cheng Hao nodded, but his cooperation with the club wasn't in a rush. It was just that Chu Mo was going there on his way.

Moreover, he also wanted to see just how capable this paranormal consultant, specially hired by headquarters, really was.

A ghost tamer who controls three ghosts is quite rare in today's paranormal community.

The three quickly drove away from Lin'an Building.

Half an hour later.

"arrive."

Cheng Hao got out of the car first. The three of them were standing by the road leading to the reservoir, surrounded by weeds.

Chu Mo glanced at it briefly and only noticed a winding mountain road.

The road surface was full of potholes and covered with weeds, as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

"Isn't this area a little too quiet...?"

He stared intently at the only path, feeling a strange unease creeping into his heart.

This only happens when encountering paranormal events.

"Walk straight along this path for about 300 meters and you'll see the reservoir. But it's best to just wander around the area and not go too deep. This place is strange; even getting close to it will have an effect."

Cheng Hao led the way for the two, offering a reminder along the way.

Chu Mo frowned. "Even getting close is affected? What do you mean?"
