"learn."

If he really left it in the office, Chu Jiang felt that one day, his family's accountant might take the box away, and that kind of curiosity could be deadly.

On their way back, they naturally passed the room where the ghost mirror was placed.

This time, Chu Jiang even stopped in front of the Ghost Mirror for a moment, wanting to see if this thing could offer an even greater "price" to tempt him.

As a result, Ghost Mirror remained silent, whether it gave up or saw through Chu Jiang's scheme and didn't want him to get something for nothing.

So Chu Jiang turned and left. He thought that once he had complete control over the power of Chu Zang, he might be able to trade for it and play with it.

For now, let's leave it at that. We don't know who's playing whom yet. Let's hope that the Mirror and Ghost Diary team up and screw him over.

......

Using the same method, after retrieving the black box and returning to the elevator lobby, as the elevator doors slowly closed, Chu Jiang suddenly saw something new...

The image appeared on the smooth surface of the elevator door, and this time it was not only blurry but also highly distorted.

Chu Jiang could only vaguely see an infant in swaddling clothes being placed at the entrance of a building...

As the elevator ascended to the next floor, the image immediately disappeared, as if the signal had been interrupted.

However, Chu Jiang did not show any change in expression, nor did he suggest going back or anything like that.

He strongly suspected that this ghost mirror could see into the viewer's thoughts and feelings, and display special images that reflected the viewer's deepest desires.

The vast majority of these images are fake, even highly deceptive and misleading; only a small portion are real.

After all, if a ghost mirror doesn't show any value, it naturally can't lure viewers deeper into its trap; it will only cause its owner to permanently seal it away, preventing anyone from seeing it.

The same thing happened to Chu Jiang just now. Ghost Mirror first realized that Chu Jiang had a need for the sealing artifact.

Then, just as Chu Jiang was about to leave, she discerned the deep-seated doubts he had about his origins.

These are all Chu Jiang's true changes in mindset, but if he really follows the path shown to him, he will almost certainly be doomed.

......

Back on the tenth underground floor, Chu Jiang received the high-end version of the Soul-Guiding Incense and the oil-paper umbrella in Expert Chen's office. He then bid farewell to Expert Chen and asked Chen Yuting to take him to Expert Ning's office.

Ning Miaowei's office was also on this floor, so Chu Jiang and the others arrived at their destination quickly.

But before Chu Jiang could ring the doorbell, the heavy metal gate slid open by itself.

A voluptuous female expert in a white lab coat walked out of the office.

The woman's attire was not much different from that of other researchers at the institute. She wore a lab coat over a shirt, and an expert's badge was hanging crookedly on her chest.

Ning Miaowei's appearance wasn't stunningly beautiful, but it was clean and bright; she had almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a heroic air about her; her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, giving her a very dashing and generous first impression.

Moreover, she has an excellent figure; there's a saying, "A woman's chest reveals her character, and her brows reveal her beauty." Whether this expert Ning has mountains and rivers between her brows is unknown, but her chest certainly has deep, defined features.

"Welcome, welcome! Our research institute's great hero is finally back. I've been waiting for you for so long," Ning Miaowei said, extending a hand.

Chu Jiang also reached out and shook hands with her.

Before Chu Jiang could speak, Ning Miaowei said to Chen Yuting, who was standing next to her, "You should go back first. The next part of the process may take a long time, so you don't need to wait here."

Chen Yuting hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang was also a little surprised, "It won't take long, right? I've had physical examinations with Dr. Chen before."

"I have quite a few projects here, and the process is rather lengthy," said Expert Ning with a smile.

"Then forget it, you can go back." Chu Jiang said to Chen Yuting, "We're still in the research institute, there are signs and staff everywhere, no matter where I want to go, I can't possibly get lost to the fourteenth basement level."

Chen Yuting agreed, "If Captain Chu needs anything, he can contact me by phone and I'll come right away."

After saying that, she took her leave.

Seeing Chen Yuting walk away, Expert Ning excitedly called Chu Jiang in and closed the door.

For some reason, Chu Jiang had a bad feeling...

The interior layout of Ning Miaowei's office is almost identical to that of Chen's office, except that since it is a women's office, there are occasionally some rather "cute" items.

For example, on the desk, there was a tattered cloth doll that was poorly sewn. To be honest, Chu Jiang even subconsciously felt that the thing was somewhat grotesque.

After casually glancing around a few times, Chu Jiang asked, "Where's your bodyguard? Like the bodyguard on Expert Chen's side, is he also an inconspicuous guy?"

"No, she's not here. She's helping me with some errands," Ning Miaowei replied while preparing the necessary equipment for the medical examination.

"You're really not worried. You know, we ghost masters can go crazy at any time."

Expert Ning smiled and said, "I might be more worried about others, but it's fine for you. I've looked at your file, and your mental state is very stable."

"Alright, come with me." Ning Miaowei, holding a pen and an electronic tablet, led the way to the adjacent laboratory.

Chu Jiang didn't care about following. The other party was just an ordinary person who couldn't pose a threat to him, especially since they were in a research institute.

Arriving at a platform for measuring comprehensive data such as height, bust, waist, hips, and weight, Ning Miaowei said, "Stand up and take off your clothes."

Chu Jiang walked onto the platform and asked, "Completely naked?"

"Nonsense, I'm not shy, why would you be?" Ning Miaowei retorted.

Fine, Chu Jiang doesn't care, anyway, he's not the one who'll suffer.

Chapter 209 Provocation

Ning Miaowei carefully measured Chu Jiang's height, bust, waist, hips, weight, as well as various physical data such as muscle activity and cell activity.

In addition, heart rate, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, etc. were also measured, which was indeed more detailed than what Chen Yehua measured.

After completing the most basic part, Ning Miaowei filled in Chu Jiang's body data while saying, "You can put on your clothes now."

Chu Jiang was naturally not embarrassed; he put his clothes back on one by one on the spot.

After Chu Jiang finished dressing, Expert Ning said in a serious tone, "I have a question for you, and you must answer honestly."

Chu Jiang remained expressionless. "Speak."

"Do you still have a sex drive? Or rather, do you still have the corresponding male function?"

Chu Jiang frowned slightly. "Do all people in your research institute like to ask this question?"

Then he answered definitively, "Yes."

Ning, the expert, looked at Chu Jiang with a puzzled expression. "Then why didn't you react at all just now?"

After saying that, she shook her head, "I think it's gone."

Not only that, Ning Miaowei said while taking notes on the electronic tablet, "Young people, don't be stubborn, and don't feel inferior."

"Actually, there are many ghost masters who have been deeply corrupted by vengeful spirits and have become like this. There's nothing wrong with admitting that."

"Are you provoking me?" Chu Jiang's face was extremely ugly. This was the first time in his life that someone had suspected him of having problems in this area.

“No, no, no,” Expert Ning shook his finger, “I’m just stating a fact.”

Chu Jiang's brows relaxed. "Say it again?"

"Oh, still not convinced? Well then I'll just say it straight: you're already mentally impotent!"

"Wait, what are you doing?" Ning Miaowei retreated step by step as someone approached. But for some reason, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

......

A dozen minutes later, in the laboratory, an expert surnamed Ning was cursing Chu Jiang while begging for mercy.

"You bastard, you're not human!"

While cursing, Ning Miaowei was also crying and laughing at the same time.

Fortunately, the soundproofing here is excellent, and the surveillance cameras were turned off by Ning himself long ago, otherwise someone would have come to the rescue long ago.

At this moment, Chu Jiang was sitting in his office chair, while a woman in a white coat was tied to an operating table in a spread-eagle position.

That wasn't all. Chu Jiang pulled out a few black feathers from somewhere. He used the Left-Handed Ghost's abilities slightly, and Ning Miaowei was subjected to a "cruel" punishment.

Can you imagine what it would feel like to have your armpits and the soles of your feet tickled with four feathers at the same time?

"Stop it, I'm so itchy..." Ning Miaowei laughed and struggled at the same time, but finally couldn't help but cry.

At this point, Chu Jiang stopped. He calmly asked, "What exactly is your purpose? This is the first time we've met, isn't it?"

Chu Jiang wasn't the kind of person who would fall for such a trick easily. This was clearly a trap. If he were provoked by Ning Miaowei, or even seduced into having a relationship with her, he would be in trouble.

Then the consequences will be endless.

Therefore, Chu Jiang's response was simple: just like now, he directly used torture to extract a confession.

Seeing that Chu Jiang had stopped torturing her, Ning Miaowei gritted her teeth and glared at the man hatefully, "You still won't admit it? You're impotent! Even a beautiful woman like me has taken the initiative, and you still do this to me."

"Answer my question, or I'll continue." Chu Jiang was calm and collected at this moment, completely unconcerned about the form of address, as if his previous anger was all an act.

"Isn't it simple? I'm seizing the time to invest in potential stocks."

"You are the first person in publicly available data to solve an S-level paranormal event. A man like you is destined to reach the pinnacle of this world!"

"While you haven't fully matured yet; while you're still young; while you haven't been corrupted by demons and become impotent, I will naturally use my physical advantages to win you over."

Finally, Ning Miaowei sighed again, "Unfortunately, I misjudged you; you've become impotent. If I had known, I should have made my move on you the first time you came to headquarters."

“But at that time, I didn’t think you were a promising talent, so I had no objection when you were assigned to the Chen family’s side.”

"So all I can say is, hindsight is always 20/20."

Although Ning Miaowei continued to try to provoke Chu Jiang, Chu Jiang remained unmoved and did not believe the reason at all.

You should know that this woman is not someone of lowly status.

Although she wasn't a Ghost Master, it was only because she didn't want to become one. Ning Miaowei's status in the research institute was much higher than that of all the heads, even higher than the team leader.

Because if the captain dies in battle, someone else will naturally take his place. But as for research talents at the expert level, the entire research institute has only trained three so far.

They not only help ghost masters customize solutions to deal with the resurgence of vengeful ghosts; they are also responsible for developing new types of supernatural items and conducting in-depth research on the characteristics and killing patterns of ghosts.

They were responsible for developing the most basic, mass-producible sealing tools, such as amulets and sealed ceramic jars. Otherwise, people in China would probably still be peddling old artifacts.

To put it bluntly, even if the supernatural resurgence continues to worsen and the world falls into complete chaos, Ning Miaowei's status will not only not decline, but will actually rise further, as long as Research Institute No. 21 does not collapse.

Even if the organization collapses, there would be plenty of people eager to hire such research talents if they went to other organizations.
