"But don't rush, there's something..." Han Zhengde hesitated, "I don't know if you'd be willing."

"Just say it," Chu Jiang said without changing his expression.

Han Zhengde nodded. "You were adopted, right? Your blood was taken during the physical examination just now."

"If you'd like, we can help you search the police's internal DNA database; you might be able to find your biological parents."

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that the relevant information will absolutely not be leaked; if you still mind, you don't have to check."

Chu Jiang hadn't expected the other person to bring this up. He hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Investigate."

Although Chu Jiang did not intend to seek out his irresponsible parents, he would not be too resistant to the opportunity to learn their identities now that he had the chance.

He also wanted to know what had caused the parents to abandon a healthy baby boy.

"How long will it take?"

"Don't worry, it will be quick. We'll use a special channel, and you'll get the results in a day."

Chu Jiang nodded. "If we don't investigate, won't you bear any responsibility?"

Han Zhengde shook his head. "I do comprehensive testing, mainly checking your physical condition, not your household registration. This is not within my job scope; it's extra work that I voluntarily do."

This means that even if Chu Jiang officially joins the company, the organization will still investigate him later.

However, other departments will take over the case, and they may not necessarily tell Chu Jiang the outcome, so it's better for Chu Jiang to figure it out now.

Next, Han Zhengde led Chu Jiang into the elevator to the second floor.

The two entered a vast, open space where the ground was simulated as a wild wasteland, with uneven terrain.

However, there is one unusual thing: although the lights are bright, it feels eerie as soon as you walk in, as if there are many supernatural forces remaining here.

After briefly explaining the key points to Chu Jiang, Han Zhengde went into the separate observation room next door.

There is a demon master on duty in the observation room to prevent the testers from losing their minds and killing the researchers along with them.

P.S.: Is "Han Zheng" also a sensitive word? I had to use a homophone instead; I'm speechless.

Chapter Seventy: A Very Strong Ghost

Standing relaxed in the testing area, Chu Jiang briefly demonstrated Bloodhand Ghost's abilities. It was just a simple demonstration, accompanied by some verbal explanations, without revealing much information.

Upon seeing this, Han Zhengde came out of the observation room and gave a subtle hint to Chu Jiang.

The gist is that the subsequent job assignments largely depend on how well this stage is performed.

If Chu Jiang doesn't want to reveal too many secrets, that's fine, but he might not be assigned to a position in charge in the end.

During a casual chat earlier, Chu Jiang had already told Han Zhengde about his intentions: it would be best to go out and become a person in charge, which was also his initial motivation for joining the research institute.

Furthermore, Han Zhengde also said that because being in charge is dangerous and carries great responsibility, it is almost one of the best-paid positions.

Other well-paid positions are not easy to get, as they all have high entry requirements. For example, there are "Level 1 Researchers" who specialize in studying ghosts, and "Experts" who are researchers or above.

By the way, Chu Jiang also asked Han Zhengde about the position of "captain".

According to him, the team leader is also a person in charge, but his status and treatment are higher than those of the person in charge, and he has the right to mobilize a group of people in charge to carry out special tasks.

It's worth mentioning that Li Bu Huo is not the team leader, but rather the person in charge of the big city.

This gave Chu Jiang a deeper understanding of the identity of the long-haired woman on the plane.

Her strength is probably extremely high, otherwise, how could a group of leaders, each a ghost master and a person in charge of a certain city, so easily submit to the captain's orders?

Watching Han Zhengde return to the observation room, Chu Jiang didn't make any unnecessary movements. "Besides what I just demonstrated, the ghost on my body also has some special abilities."

"First of all, it greatly improved my physical fitness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiang's figure flashed away like a blur.

What's even more unbelievable is that Chu Jiang rushed to the end of a wall and actually ran up it!

After running more than ten meters high, Chu Jiang did a backflip and landed steadily like a white crane spreading its wings.

This scene left Han Zhengde dumbfounded. What was going on? The medical report from earlier didn't seem to have any data on this, and everything seemed to be the same as that of an adult male.

The young ghost master on duty next to him was also somewhat incredulous. "Could this person have been deeply corrupted by ghosts? But didn't you say he's only been a ghost master for less than a month?"

"No, it hasn't even been half a month." Han Zhengde's tone couldn't hide his surprise.

As Chu Jiang walked back, he said, "Secondly, my right hand, and the blood released from it, can have a certain restraining effect on other ghosts and monsters."

"If I can gain the upper hand in the battle against the supernatural, then I can forcefully suppress the ghost completely and then put it into a sealing artifact to seal it away."

"By the way, I gave the ghost inside me a name: Bloodhand Ghost."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhengde's eyes lit up even more. Suppression ability—this was a very special type of supernatural ability.

"Anything else? Is there anything else?"

Facing the voice coming from the loudspeaker, Chu Jiang shook his head, "There might be more, but I haven't discovered them yet."

“Hmm,” Han Zhengde nodded, “Even so, the demon inside you is quite powerful.”

"However, regarding your second point, we still need to conduct some experiments."

Chu Jiang frowned slightly. "You want me to seal a ghost on the spot? I don't want to waste my supernatural power on such pointless things."

After all, this is practically risking your life.

Through the multiple layers of reinforced tempered glass, Han Zhengde waved his hand, "Our research institute has a lot of experience in this area, so naturally we won't let you expend too much energy."

As the on-duty demon master pressed a few buttons on the control panel, a bloodstained wooden stool was brought out from a closed compartment.

The delivery was handled by a small, automated transport vehicle.

"This is an ordinary item imbued with supernatural power. You're trying to suppress the supernatural power on it. That should be easy for you, right?"

Chu Jiang glanced at it and realized it wasn't anything too outrageous. Even if an ordinary person sat on it, they wouldn't be harmed immediately, but it would take some time for the effects to take hold.

So he flicked his right hand, and a blood-red rope flew out, immediately splashing and covering the wooden stool upon contact with it.

Then Chu Jiang pulled back.

But as soon as he collected the blood, he was stunned, because the wooden stool had become completely clean.

"I'm sorry, the supernatural power above is too weak. It seems to have been assimilated and absorbed by my blood."

Han Zhengde was also somewhat surprised. "Hmm, it's nothing. This proves that your ghost has a strong assimilation ability for similar types of supernatural forces, which is also one of the research topics of the research institute."

"Alright, that's about enough. You can put your power away now. The comprehensive test is basically complete."

Although the whole process seems simple, there is actually a hidden point: the state of the ghost master when using supernatural powers.

Some sorcerers may appear calm and rational in their daily lives, silently enduring the pain caused by the torment of ghosts within their bodies.

However, when they use supernatural powers, the pain they usually suppress will burst out all at once, and at this time they will be particularly violent and have a great difficulty in controlling themselves.

Faced with such a target, Han Zhengde would not dare to run out of the observation room midway through the testing process.

As for Chu Jiang's performance, as the information shows, he was excellent in all aspects. This is probably related to the fact that he was possessed by a ghost for a relatively short period of time. It's hard to say what will happen in the future.

After taking Chu Jiang away from the test site, Han Zhengde went back to his office and wrote a summary report on Chu Jiang's performance, which was then uploaded to the intranet.

Then he stood up and stretched.

"Headquarters is very efficient. How about I show you around here?"

"I estimate that the HR department will call you over in half an hour to an hour, at the latest before the end of the workday."

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "Which floor is the human resources department on?"

Han Zhengde pointed up, "The third floor."

"So that means I can only walk around on the first, second, and third floors, right?"

"Correct."

"Let's go to the third floor then. What facilities are available on the third floor?"

Han Zhengde got up and walked outside. "It's very simple. There's a personnel department, a liaison department, a large conference room, a rooftop garden, an emergency warehouse, and other confidential areas."

"I can't take you into most of the areas mentioned above. At most, we can only visit the Sky Gardens."

Chu Jiang shrugged. "Let's just take a walk. It's better than sitting here doing nothing."

P.S.: I really don't want to talk about this stupid censorship library from HedgehogCat.

Sometimes even a single word can be sensitive, because the author's backend will retrieve certain phrases from the entire text of your chapter.

Note that no single character from this phrase can appear in the entire text, regardless of whether they are adjacent to each other. That's why I was forced to use traditional Chinese characters earlier.

Chapter Seventy-One: Arrogant and Overbearing

On the way to the third floor, Chu Jiang asked Han Zhengde about his classmate Zhang Haoran.

He speculated that Zhang Haoran was taken away by people from the research institute.

To his surprise, Han Zhengde had no idea who this person was. He even used his phone to search on the internal network, and finally found an ordinary employee with the same name, but judging from the profile picture, it was clearly not the one Chu Jiang was looking for.

Chu Jiang could only guess that it was information related to Zhang Haoran, and that it was classified at a high level, something a level three researcher wouldn't be able to know.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Han Zhengde led Chu Jiang forward. He whispered, "The conference room is on the right, the confidential area is on the left, and the rooftop garden is just ahead. Let's go there."

Chu Jiang nodded indifferently.

Unexpectedly, as the two were walking, a metal gate not far ahead was violently smashed open with a "bang".

A young man with a tuft of blonde hair stepped out.

The man appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with sharp, angular features and an air of defiance. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.

The man's shirt had several buttons undone, and a silver cross necklace could be seen around his neck.

The moment the metal door was smashed open, Han Zhengde was startled; as if he had been trained countless times, he instinctively dodged to the wall, and his right hand reached into his pocket, gripping something tightly.

Chu Jiang remained relatively calm, though somewhat surprised. Was there really someone so audacious at headquarters? This guy seemed to be a Ghost Master.

"You want us to join in?! Who does Yuwen Ting think she is?!"
