Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 91 Too Many Faces, You'll Have to Find Them Yourself (Compensation, Second Update)

Zhongzhou City.

Chu Mo returned to Taiping Ancient Town with a large pile of items.

The trip to Huanggang Village not only freed him from the problem of the supernatural balance of the Red and White Demons, but also allowed him to inherit the supernatural abilities of the Ghost Messenger.

If we calculate based on completeness, the ghost bride is considered the first ghost, the weeping grave ghost is the second, and the ghost messenger is the last.

As for those face coverings and red veils, they can all be categorized as puzzle pieces.

Chu Mo didn't know how many complete ghosts there were in the world, but he could currently use the three ghosts he already knew to complete the remaining puzzle pieces.

This is a relatively slow process.

Pushing open the villa gate, Yan Li was sunbathing in the yard.

During the days I was away, the other person was not idle either.

Upon seeing Chu Mo return, he immediately ran forward.

"Brother Chu, I ran into the Faceless Man again when I was strolling through Ghost Street yesterday. I told him about finding his face, but he seemed to be busy at the time and told me to go to the hotel in the new district to find him in the next few days."

Yan Li mainly talked about the things that had happened in the past few days.

Chu Mo threw the items wrapped in gold foil into the storage room; these were all the ghosts inside the bodies of those ghost tamers.

He was considering whether to build a golden house or something, since if something went wrong, the gold wouldn't spread.

Unfortunately, those guys at the Central State Club didn't have the foresight to build a safe house; otherwise, that place would have been a really good location.

His thoughts quickly returned, and he calculated the time.

There are still more than twenty days left for the Ghost Cabinet's requirements, so there's no rush. Right now, they can take the more than three hundred faces to the Faceless Man to identify them.

"Let's go to the new urban area."

Chu Mo put all three hundred-plus faces on his person.

I currently live on the outskirts of Taiping Ancient Town. The new urban area is a tourist area recently established by Zhongzhou City.

As for the inn the faceless man mentioned, Chu Mo remembered that it was run by a ghost tamer named Boss Liu.

Like the faceless man, the other party belonged to the last group of ghost tamers left in the ancient town.

Based on the timeline, he belonged to roughly the same period as Zhang Xianguang, and was even likely younger than Zhang Xianguang.

Continuing along the streets of Taiping Ancient Town, the two soon arrived at the new urban area.

The old town is located opposite the new town.

All those things from Ghost Street and Ghost Lake are over there.

"There seem to be a lot of hotels around here. Should we ask around at each one?"

Yan Li looked at the storefronts he had just walked through. This place was no different from a normal city center, and it was bustling with people coming and going.

"No need, I know what kind of hotel the Faceless Man is talking about. These modern-style ones are not it."

Chu Mo shook his head. Given their old-fashioned style, they wouldn't adapt to, nor would they want to.

So you can find it by just looking at some old-fashioned storefronts.

Not long after.

He stopped in front of a building called "Taiping Hotel".

This hotel is out of place with modern architecture and looks very deserted.

With its blue bricks and gray tiles, the style is simple and rustic, reminiscent of the Republic of China era in the last century.

The hotel door was ajar, and the lights were on inside. A man who looked to be around sixty years old was sitting at the counter, wearing an old cloth hat.

The other person was slumped over the counter, seemingly asleep, with the oil lamp beside them glowing dimly.

"This should be it."

Chu Mo pushed open the door and went inside.

The shop owner, who had been dozing off, immediately woke up when he heard someone come in, and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Gentlemen, would you like to stay at my hotel? My rooms are all top-notch and beautiful. Would you like me to show you around?"

The owner greeted the two of them very warmly.

However, Chu Mo shook his head, "We're not staying at a hotel or looking at rooms. We're here to find someone."

97

Looking for someone?

The boss looked the two of them up and down, his nose twitching as if he were sniffing their scent.

Seemingly sensing something ominous, he dropped his welcoming smile and said sullenly, "A monster that's neither human nor ghost, a guy about to drown in blood—I'm afraid I don't have the person you're looking for in this shop."

Yan Li frowned, then his expression turned serious.

The other party was able to see my current state.

"You must be Boss Liu. Don't be so quick to refuse me. After all, this is a seat he offered. It's clear he's a regular customer here."

Chu Mo remained calm and showed no anger at the other party's words.

Do you know me?

Mr. Liu was clearly surprised. He had lived in Taiping Ancient Town for so many years and was one of the last people left in the town. How could someone from outside possibly know him?

He looked at Chu Mo, pondered for a while, and then said, "I have many regular customers at this inn, including many like you. But you can tell me, and perhaps I will remember."

"I don't know his real name, but his code name is Faceless Man. You should know him, right?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu's curiosity grew even stronger.

"I do know him, but he just went out and won't be back for a while."

Old Liu poured two cups of hot tea and handed them to the two young men. "Young men, you know the elders of our ancient town. Where are your parents from?"

He became more interested in the young man in front of him. Unlike the other three town keepers, Boss Liu's views were relatively less rigid.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have moved to the new city area to run this hotel.

"A native of Dachang City."

"Dachang City?"

Boss Liu seemed to be savoring the name of the place. He frowned and said, "You mean Hongdu? That place used to be amazing. It's a pity I've never left the ancient town in my life and have only heard some rumors about it."

Chu Mo took a sip of tea. Hongdu, as the predecessor of Dachang City, should be the name during the Republic of China period.

It's a pity that the other party only heard about it secondhand. How much could someone who has never left the ancient town in their entire life know about what happened outside during that period?

The three chatted casually for a while, and soon the faceless man returned.

He was wearing a mask on his face. The mask was very ordinary, just the most common cartoon monkey. This seemed to be just a disguise to avoid causing a disturbance among ordinary people.

Seemingly surprised by Chu Mo's arrival, he greeted the others.

"Alright, you two chat, I'll have the waiter bring you some food."

Upon seeing the faceless man arrive, Boss Liu wisely stopped talking and instead beckoned to a man dressed as a servant.

Chu Mo sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, and Yan Li quickly opened the gold foil bag he had brought.

Immediately, countless faces slid out from inside and fell to the ground.

These faces represent all ages, from children to the elderly, totaling over three hundred faces.

"These faces are all targets of that ghost's attacks. Perhaps one of them is your face. I'm not sure, but you can look for it."

The faceless man nodded, tilting his head slightly as if he were examining these faces.

Upon seeing this, Boss Liu carefully closed the hotel door and hung up a sign that the hotel was closed for the day.
