Although Chu Jiang's answer was understated, the deputy minister was still incredulous. "Wait, that white-haired zombie is very special. Expert Liu suspects it is at least A-level, and possibly even S-level."

"How did you manage to seal it so easily? And that's very risky, isn't it?"

Chu Jiang calmly replied, "Restraint; and it's very safe, still because of restraint."

Liu Xuewen was speechless. He wanted to say something, but then he didn't know what to say, since Liu Jingsheng had already given him an analysis.

At this point, expert Liu interjected, "Could you tell me about the origin of your ghost?"

Chu Jiang shook his head slightly, "Personal privacy, I cannot disclose that."

“Alright,” the deputy minister didn’t force him to answer, “as long as you’re confident, that’s fine, but don’t be careless. If something happens to the ghost inside you, it will be a big deal.”

Chu Jiang nodded in agreement.

"Also, you did a fantastic job this time. Once all the spoils of the operation have been tallied, the corresponding rewards will be sent to you. But until then..."

Liu Xuewen held out his hand. "You need to hand over that oil lamp first. We need to put it in our inventory and assess its value. If you want it, it will be allocated to you later as part of the reward."

Chu Jiang wasn't surprised. He chuckled and took out the oil lamp. "I thought you hadn't seen it."

After saying that, he looked at Xin Xin and said, "Do you want to compete with me? This should be a good product."

Holding the doll, Xinxin shook her head. "Unexpected, uncontrollable, it's not a good thing for me."

Chu Jiang seemed to be deep in thought, but did not ask any further questions.

"There shouldn't be any more operations for now, right? Of course, I'll stay at headquarters for a while in case any emergency rescue is needed."

The deputy minister nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, we will do our best to make overall arrangements and will not put all the burden on you alone."

Chu Jiang found this more agreeable; he hated people who would dump everything on you just because you're strong.

Do you really think this is child's play? Every paranormal event involves risking one's life.

"Also, this reward is equivalent to solving an A-level incident, right? I need to exchange it for some sealed items."

The vice minister was somewhat surprised by Chu Jiang's words. "Now? Which ones do you want? There have been quite a few updates since the last list you saw."

"Wait a minute, I still need to go see Expert Ning."

"Okay, tell Expert Chen what you want to exchange for, and he'll take you to get it. Expert Ning is fine too."

Before leaving the command center, Chu Jiang also told the deputy minister about the situation of the River God and Wang Lei.

Liu Xuewen was extremely surprised that Wang Lei not only didn't die, but also became a "god".

Expert Liu was also very interested in this. After listening to Chu Jiang's description, they immediately decided that someone would go and assess Wang Lei's mental state, and everything would be decided after the on-site investigation.

.......

On the way to Ning Miaowei's office, Xin Xin lowered her head slightly and asked Chu Jiang, "Is Sister Zhou with you?"

Chu Jiang was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You mean Zhou Wenshan? You two know each other?"

Xin Xin nodded slightly. "She was the first person to get me to speak after I was adopted by the research institute."

Adoption? Speaking? It seems this little girl has a complicated past.

Wait a minute, upon hearing this, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered something from a long time ago, when he first met the psychologist Zhou Wenshan.

During the psychological testing phase, Zhou Wenshan gave an example, saying that she had conducted a psychological test on a little girl.

This girl didn't like fairy tales because she was jealous of the heroines in them; the only one she could relatively accept was The Little Match Girl, because it had a tragic ending.

Nevertheless, she was still jealous of the little match girl, because at least the little girl was happy before she died; she saw beautiful illusions...

At that moment, Chu Jiang wondered what this kid had been through.

Now that he knows that Xin Xin is likely the psychologically twisted little girl, he is even more surprised. It's not like that on the surface!

Considering that others keep their distance from her, it's probably not just because they're afraid of being unintentionally affected by the Grim Reaper's power...

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jiang said, "Yes, Zhou Wenshan is with me. Her favorite thing to do is watch TV series during work hours."

"You stole her away."

Although Xin Xin's words showed no emotional fluctuation, Chu Jiang's body still subconsciously tensed up.

Because the girl next to him might be a hypocrite, even the kind who would kill someone at the slightest provocation.

"No, you misunderstood. I just actively recruited her to work for me, and she agreed."

Xin Xin lowered her head slightly, "I had already lost all hope of living, and even wanted death to devour me and kill everyone in the world."

"It was Sister Zhou who guided me out of my predicament, but she also told me not to depend on her, to find my life goals, and to live independently."

"After completing the three phases of psychological counseling, I became the team leader of the research institute, but I was handed over to Ning Miaowei to take charge."

“Ning Miaowei is very good to me. Although she has some ulterior motives, she really takes good care of me.”

"But I'm not happy. I always feel that I survived because of Sister Zhou."

“She wanted me to work for the research institute, so I worked for the research institute; she wanted me not to kill because of negative emotions, so I didn’t kill; she even wanted me not to depend on her, so I forced myself to do so.”

"In other words, she is my life goal."

"But I'm feeling really down right now. I haven't seen Sister Zhou in a long time, and I don't dare call her too often because I'm afraid she'll hate me."

"Lately, I've occasionally had crazy thoughts that I want Sister Zhou back in my life, to take care of me and stay with me forever..."

As Xin Xin spoke, a chilling aura gradually emanated from her. The doll in her arms grinned, and the phantom of Death appeared faintly behind her...

Moreover, it seems that only Chu Jiang could perceive all of this. Even when employees occasionally passed by on the road, they would only look at them with curiosity and admiration, and no one noticed anything unusual.

This gave Chu Jiang a headache. He began to wonder if his decision to get to know Xin Xin specifically for the sake of the [Call of Death] doll was a mistake from the start.

Chapter 319 Problem Girl

Xin Xin continued walking forward, seemingly unaware that anything was amiss.

Chu Jiang didn't do anything to provoke the other party, but simply said, "If you just want to see her, you don't need to be so conflicted. It's better to lay some things out on the table."

However, Xin Xin ignored Chu Jiang; she had already fallen into a state of talking to herself...

When Chu Jiang arrived at Ning Miaowei's office, Xin Xin had already been transformed into a non-human being in his eyes.

To be precise, the phantom of Shin Shin and the Grim Reaper overlapped, turning into a smaller version of the Grim Reaper, making him look completely human.

Even the doll in her hand seemed to come alive, frequently glancing towards Chu Jiang, and struggling to escape from its owner's grasp.

It's worth mentioning that although it was named "Death God" within the research institute, Xin Xin, this ghost, is different from Chu Zhi. Its essence is to create accidents with death as the end goal.

This is somewhat similar to Jing Ruoxue's Chu Mei, whose main focus is on luck.

However, the Demon of Chu can bring both disaster and blessing; the God of Death brings endless misfortune, which will not end until the victim dies.

There was absolutely no response from the research institute. Chu Jiang had no idea whether it was due to an imperfect accident handling mechanism or because Xin Xin was too special.

In short, before Xin Xin officially started killing people, Chu Jiang rang the doorbell of the expert's office.

The person who opened the door was not Ning Miaowei, but a young girl with crystal orchids growing on her head.

Upon seeing the strangely changed Xin Xin, she immediately retreated like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Senior! Something's happened to her again."

Ning Miaowei hurriedly ran out of the adjacent laboratory, holding a vial of bubbling purple reagent in her hand.

"Who's in trouble?"

In Ning Miaowei's eyes, Xinxin was still Xinxin, only her expression was somewhat gloomy.

But seeing Ning Xiaorou's reaction, she immediately realized that Xin Xin must have entered "that" state again.

Ning Miaowei hurriedly threw the test tube on the table and took out a voice recorder, playing a pre-recorded message.

"What day of the week is it today?" a soft female voice came from the recorder.

Xin Xin paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Today is Wednesday."

"Did you take your medicine?"

“I ate it,” Xin Xin nodded repeatedly. “I ate one when I woke up in the morning, and I’ll eat another one before I go to sleep at night.”

How is Xiongxiong doing today?

"It drove a wicked ghost master to a mental breakdown, and his urge to play pranks was fully satisfied."

"How are you feeling today, Xin Xin?"

"I'm a little... a little annoyed, but hearing Sister Zhou's voice made me a little happier."

"Okay, come here."

Guided by the voice of the recorder, Xin Xin's condition gradually improved. She walked forward step by step, gradually separating from the phantom of death on her body.

Then Chu Jiang saw a bizarre scene: a black, sharp claw extended from the recording pen. This claw was ethereal and looked somewhat ferocious, as if it carried all sorts of human emotions.

But when Xin Xin saw it, a smile appeared on her face. It was the first time Chu Jiang had ever seen her smile, and she seemed a little shy.

The paw patted Xin Xin's head, and Xin Xin lowered her head, looking quite pleased.

Then her eyelids started to droop, as if she was getting sleepy.

"Are you sleepy? You can go to bed and take a nap first. Remember to take your medicine."

"Hmm...okay..." Xin Xin answered slowly, nodding her head as she habitually walked towards the break room on the other side of the office.

During this process, Xin Xin ignored everyone else, took out a metal medicine bottle from her body, poured out a blue pill and swallowed it.

Chu Jiang stared intently at his opponent, even activating his extrasensory perception.

But he felt that... what Xin Xin was eating wasn't medicine, but some kind of candy pill, which even smelled like candy.

In short, Xin Xin went to the rest room to sleep on her own. After she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly, the phantom of death also disappeared on its own; only the little bear doll remained, which would occasionally turn its eyes.

Ning Miaowei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her ample chest and went over to close the door to the rest room.

Then she looked at Chu Jiang, "What's going on this time? Xin Xin hasn't been this bad in a long time. How come she's started having an attack again after going on a mission?"

Chu Jiang didn't respond at first, but asked instead, "Did Zhou Wenshan give you this pen?"

The voice coming from the recording pen was hers. Chu Jiang had seen the ghostly hand and the ability to hypnotize people into sleep in Zhou Wenshan before.

Ning Miaowei nodded, "In this world, I think only Miss Zhou can make Xinxin obedient."
