Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 82 A Perilous Escape from the Village, A Value Assessment! (Seeking First Subscription!)

After listening to Yang Jian's words, Wang Xiaoming fell into deep thought.

He hadn't expected the ghost coffin to have such great potential.

Chu Mo's control scheme is very strange. The number of vengeful spirits that the other party currently controls is the largest I have ever seen.

He really wanted to know how this person had done it. If it weren't for the tedious work in the research lab, he should have talked to this person in person a long time ago.

Unfortunately, a conflict arose between the other party and headquarters, which disrupted the plan, and it eventually came to nothing.

However, it is worth noting that the other party's proposal is completely different from the one I am currently researching.

That was a different path.

"Actually, you don't need to jump to conclusions so early. As the person in charge of Dachang City, it is your responsibility to deal with the paranormal events in this city," Wang Xiaoming said.

"That guy named Zhao Kaiming is the real person in charge who was transferred here; I'm just a temporary one."

Yang Jian said irritably.

It's impossible to restrain oneself through one's position. Everyone looks out for themselves, especially in such extraordinary times.

Only a fool would risk their life to get in without a substantial price to pay.

Wang Xiaoming remained noncommittal, but said, "I prefer to measure everything by value. I have a general understanding of your situation. You and Ye Feng deserve the most credit for being able to leave Huanggang Village and bring back important intelligence. As for my good-for-nothing brother, I know his character very well."

Yang Jian frowned. "What are you trying to say?"

Wang Xiaoming said, "What I mean is, if you can give me enough value, I can naturally give you enough reward. Bartering, exchanging information for things, is very cost-effective."

"I know you. After the knocking ghost incident in Dachang City, you mastered the supernatural power of the ghost eye and possessed the ghost domain. I also know a bit about Ye Feng's ghost teeth. He can tear open the ghost domain, and you can use the ghost domain to escape. The combination of the two is why you were able to escape. Overall, you are very suitable to handle this supernatural incident."

"If this succeeds, I can use the Ghost Candle in exchange, and in addition, I can help you reserve the spot to control a second ghost."

"Of course, if you can imprison Chu Mo, I can give you something even better."

During the negotiations, Wang Xiaoming showed great interest in the ghost coffin in Huanggang Village, and he was also eager to investigate the mystery surrounding Chu Mo.

"Ghost candle, what is that?"

Seemingly having heard something useful, Yang Jian raised an eyebrow and asked at the same time as Ye Feng.

"A supernatural item that can withstand attacks from vengeful ghosts. As long as you light it, the candle flame will protect you from being attacked by vengeful ghosts. However, its production is very limited at present, making it a strategically scarce resource."

"Sounds good, but talk is cheap. Do you have any proof?"

Yang Jian asked.

He admitted that he was indeed tempted when he heard that it could ward off attacks from vengeful ghosts and protect the life of the candle-lighter.

"Li Jun, go and get me the ghost candle."

Wang Xiaoming raised his hand in a gesture.

Li Jun hesitated, "Professor Wang, are you sure you want to trade this scarce resource?"

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. This matter is different in nature; strictly speaking, it meets the requirements for using ghost candles."

Seeing Wang Xiaoming's reaction, Li Jun did not object and quickly returned to the tent, bringing a briefcase with him.

The box was opened, and inside, wrapped in gold foil, lay a scarlet candle.

"You can rest assured about the performance of the Ghost Candle. I have conducted many experiments and there will be no deviation. This type of item has been used several times and the effect has been very significant."

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, but felt that one ghost candle was too few.

"Let's make this clear first: will the Ghost Candle be one for Ye Feng and one for me, or will we share it?"

"Furthermore, if we really need to re-enter Huanggang Village, I must use this thing, otherwise none of us can withstand Chu Mo's supernatural abilities."

Ye Feng nodded. The price had to be agreed upon. If the ghost candle the other party was talking about was really that reliable, then it was worth another try.

"As I said, ghost candles are a very scarce resource, and I can't give each of you one. However, I can compensate you with some white ghost candles."

Seemingly afraid that the two wouldn't move, he continued, "White ghost candles are the opposite of red ghost candles. When lit, they will attract nearby evil spirits. If used properly, they can have miraculous effects."

Yang Jian's lips twitched. Wasn't the white ghost candle just like the bride that Chu Mo was holding?

It's simply a matter of one being a manual method for summoning ghosts, and the other being a fully automatic method.

"Is there nothing else?"

Yang Jian said, "If that's all there is to it, I think you should find someone more suitable. In the end, this thing is just a consumable; half a stick might not even be enough for one paranormal event."

Wang Xiaoming said, "As I've said before, I prefer to measure everything by value. If you can demonstrate sufficient value, I can negotiate the quantity, and I can also allocate other resources."

"But all of this is contingent on you being able to bring me profits."

Wang Xiaoming took out a piece of scrap paper and simply wrote on it: "For example, for this operation, I want the female ghost who is with Chu Mo. If you can bring her back, a ghost candle is no problem at all."

"Or we could collect some talismans from the ghost coffins. If we can get enough for my research, I can give you the same benefits."

This was a collaboration based solely on interests, without any clear stance.

Whether it's Yang Jian under the headquarters or the Ghost Tamer organization of individual members, as long as they can do it, they can gain Wang Xiaoming's favor.

"That sounds nice, but in the end, it's just the two of us, Ye Feng and me. Going back to Huanggang Village now would be tantamount to suicide. You should know that there is still a Source Ghost in Huanggang Village with three suppression slots."

Yang Jian changed the subject and continued, "If headquarters can send enough reinforcements, I can consider continuing the operation, but if not, then we should just give up and go to sleep."

"You don't need to worry about that; headquarters will take care of the headcount issue."

Wang Xiaoming said, "Once everyone is present, I will convene a special meeting. Everyone will be treated equally, and those who are capable will naturally receive more preferential treatment."

Yang Jian remained noncommittal, saying, "Then let Liu Xiaoyu notify me when there's news."

After saying that, he got up and left the camp.

He didn't go to drive his own car; the ghostly aura of Huanggang Village had spread and enveloped him.

He left along the road in the opposite direction from the village.

Along the way, the area had been cordoned off by headquarters, and there were hardly any people to be seen.

But as he walked off the road, he noticed a car heading towards Huanggang Village.

The throbbing in the ghost's eyes told Yang Jian that there were several ghost tamers sitting in the car.
