Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 93 Stains on the Wedding Dress

Chu Mo glanced at the servants that Boss Liu had ordered around.

The other person's behavior was not unusual, except that they didn't talk much and didn't blink much.

Yan Li also noticed that the servant was acting strangely, just like the paper figures in the paper shop on Ghost Street that day.

No, it's just a paper figure.

Seeing that the two seemed interested in the servant, Boss Liu said, "How about I sell him to you? I bought him on sale. He's very obedient. He'll do whatever you ask him to do. Compared to the ordinary people in the hotels outside, he's a very good servant."

"It cost me three dollars when it was on sale, and now it's probably doubled in price. How about it? If you want it, I'll sell it to you cheap, or give me this newspaper you have."

Chu Mo turned his gaze away from the servant and looked at Boss Liu. "Do you think I don't know the market? I won't sell you this newspaper. That paper figure is just a freebie. If I wanted it, I could get a lot for three yuan."

This statement is not unfounded. You only need to give the old man in the copper coin clothes three yuan to buy the goods in the paper shop.

Mr. Liu was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time he had encountered such a knowledgeable young man.

He sniffed the air again, sensing the eerie atmosphere emanating from the newspaper, and he seemed to enjoy it immensely.

So he didn't mince words and said directly, "I have twelve yuan here for paper money. How about I buy the newspaper you're holding? This is money I've been saving for a long time to buy my own coffin."

Boss Liu looked reluctant to part with it; he seemed to really like the old newspaper in Chu Mo's hand.

But the other party still shook their head.

Chu Mo doesn't lack paper money right now, and there's no need for him to sell the newspaper for that little bit of money.

"I can't give you this newspaper, forget about it. If you really want it, I can lend you a copy of a derivative one, but there are conditions."

Chu Mo said, "I don't want paper money; you can exchange it for other supernatural items."

Mr. Liu also sat on the sofa, a strange smile on his face. If the other party was willing to continue the conversation, he could still try to negotiate.

He readily agreed, got up and walked back to the counter, displaying an old-fashioned kerosene lamp to the two of them.

"Young man, take a look at this. Light this lamp, and even ghosts won't dare to come near you. You can also use it to defend against attacks and dispel ghostly auras. It's quite a practical thing."

However, he glanced at the newspaper in Chu Mo's hand and began to bargain, saying, "Due to the cost of production, I usually don't sell this lamp to outsiders, but I see that you look kind, so I'll consider it making friends."

"One supplementary newspaper might not be enough, how about three?"

Boss Liu placed the kerosene lamp on the table and pushed it towards Chu Mo.

Chu Mo stared at the kerosene lamp for a few seconds. This thing seemed to function similarly to the ghost candle, but according to Boss Liu's description, it seemed to be much more functional than the ghost candle.

Its ability to dispel ghostly domains alone is something that Ghost Candle cannot match.

"make a deal."

Chu Mo readily agreed. Because he had mastered the supernatural abilities of the ghost messengers, the old newspapers showed almost no supernatural properties in his hands.

After all, they were suppressed.

Back when it was at the Caesars Hotel, this newspaper spawned many new newspapers.

He replicated the ghost's actions and placed it on his desktop.

As the supernatural suppression disappeared, the ghost newspapers quickly revived.

Soon, similar red newspapers fell onto the quiet hotel lobby.

The newspaper was stained with blood, almost exactly the same as the source.

This characteristic is similar to that of ropes derived from ghost ropes.

Chu Mo picked up the original newspaper again, and the derivative newspapers, under the influence of the Ghost Domain, also landed on the table.

There are exactly three in total, no more and no less.

Boss Liu reached out and took it, smelled the aroma, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, even if it's a derivative supernatural item, the aroma is so rich and mellow. It's truly a rare and excellent item."

His eyes lit up once again as he looked at the bride appearing in Chu Mo's ghost realm.

"The bride is dressed beautifully in a red wedding gown and a red veil, but it's a pity that the clothes are a bit dirty. It would be nice if they could be washed."

Seemingly sensing the hidden meaning in Boss Liu's words, Chu Mo gave the ghost bride an instruction to sit next to him.

In his view, there were indeed some strange black marks on the wedding dress.

This thing didn't exist before it lay down in the ghost coffin, but it has been haunting me ever since I left the ghost coffin.

Chu Mo assumed that the bride had also inherited some of the Ghost Coffin's abilities, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, nothing happened to the wedding dress during the operation in Huanggang Village.

But after Boss Liu said that, Chu Mo had to consider the problem of the stains on her wedding dress.

If it's something like a curse, I do have a way to deal with it.

Simply remove the ghost bride's wedding dress and soak it in the blood of a fierce ghost to wash away the filth.

In the original story, the curse on the demon scissors was washed away in a lake of blood formed from demon blood.

However, in the Huanggang Village incident, the ghost bride was not attacked by any kind of curse. If there were any remaining supernatural elements in the ghost coffin, it is unclear whether the ghost blood would have any effect.

"These stains don't have a big impact on her, after all, it's just a minor supernatural event. Is Boss Liu trying to introduce me to other businesses?"

Chu Mo's words had a deeper meaning.

Boss Liu nodded, not denying what the other party said, but suggested, "It would be best to deal with it as soon as possible. If it is delayed for too long, the dirt on it may corrode the entire wedding dress, and it will not look good then."

Instead of hiding anything, she recommended, "There are people in the old town who can help you wash these things off, but I don't know if she'd be willing to help."

Chu Mo seemed to be deep in thought. What Boss Liu was talking about was one of the two remaining ghost tamers in the ancient town.

One was a one-eyed old man who managed the ancestral hall and was also a soul-summoning master during the Republic of China era. He later passed on this ability to He Yin'er.

The other was the washerwoman, the one Boss Liu mentioned who could solve the wedding dress problem.

Chu Mo began to seriously consider this question.

After a long silence, he said directly, "Boss Liu, I don't like beating around the bush. I'll just say what I mean. I have a lot of supernatural things like newspapers around me. If you can find someone to solve the problem with the wedding dress, I don't mind taking it out for you to study."

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu's eyes lit up.

"Sure, sure. She's free today. If you're not in a hurry, I can take you there right now."

Yan Li squinted, realizing that this Boss Liu was indeed very good at business, managing to squeeze money out of Brother Chu.

Boss Liu quickly got up and led the two men toward the old town.

The man's joy was written all over his face, showing none of the disdain he had shown when he first met the two.

Chu Mo didn't say anything, and followed after them with the kerosene lamp.

Whether the other party can remove the stains from the wedding dress is another matter; she is just trying it out.
