Of course, the officials in each region may not provide such detailed information.

Some officials even create a separate file for themselves. This file is incredibly detailed and extremely valuable because, to themselves, there are no secrets.

After recording Chu Jiang's dictation, Chen Yuting continued, "According to the description, your injuries seem quite serious. Should I contact an ambulance for you?"

"No need, I can go by myself. As for the demon that was sealed this time, I will leave it behind."

Chen Yuting had no objection, which was also tacitly approved by the research institute.

After all, these were ghosts that the people in charge had risked their lives to seal. If they handed them over, they would naturally receive a very good reward, which would be equivalent to the research institute acquiring them from the people in charge.

However, you can choose to keep it yourself, and the reward for defeating a ghost will not be reduced. It consists of two parts: the reward itself and the acquisition fee.

At this moment, Chu Jiang was not in a hurry to ask for a reward. In any case, he would have to pay the research institute a fee when transplanting the second ghost, so he would just put the credit on the books first. Anyway, he wouldn't owe him anything.

When Chu Jiang walked out of the building "completely unharmed," Officer Lin, Luo Yifeng, and other staff members who had been waiting couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and delight.

When Lin Qian came out alone earlier, everyone thought something had happened to Chu Jiang.

Now that we see him not only out but also perfectly fine, it proves that he has likely resolved this paranormal event.

As his assistant, Luo Yifeng caught up immediately, and Lin Qian followed suit.

Lin Qian's face still showed excitement, "It hasn't been long, and you've already taken care of that ghost, that's amazing!"

Chu Jiang simply waved his hand and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Does your script contain the line 'We will live forever in heaven'?"

Chu Jiang remembered that there wasn't one, but he still had to ask the original author.

Lin Qian thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "No, who said that? The priest? He has no reason to say that. In my mind, this character doesn't believe that he can go to heaven after he dies."

While speaking, Lin Qian was thinking about something else: This Mr. Chu seemed even more indifferent...

Although Lin Qian had previously felt that Chu Jiang was cold, the feeling back then was different from the feeling now.

"Then let me ask another question: how did you come up with this kind of positive-energy script?"

Lin Qian's thoughts faltered for a moment. He coughed before saying, "It all stems from the element of confession. This is a stage play performed in front of a large audience. As long as I'm not out of my mind, there's no way I would come up with any of those nonsensical plot points, right?"

"Alright," Chu Jiang patted him on the shoulder, "I hope we never have the chance to meet again."

Luo Yifeng quickly followed.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment as he watched Chu Jiang leave without looking back.

He then realized that the other person meant that if the two of them had another chance to meet, it would probably be when Lin Qian encountered another supernatural event.

This made Lin Qian scratch his head. If they all lived in the same city, there was still a possibility of them bumping into each other by chance, right?

Inside the police tent, Chu Jiang and Officer Lin exchanged phone numbers. Chu Jiang then instructed Luo Yifeng to assist the police in closing the operation.

Finally, Chu Jiang took a ride to the hospital alone...

Chapter Ninety-Six: Unexpected Reunion

In fact, Chu Jiang noticed something very strange when he got on the bus.

The wound on his neck had almost completely healed, which he found somewhat unbelievable.

Indeed, the human body has a certain self-healing ability. If Chu Jiang really used supernatural power to completely piece his wounds back together for half a year, his injuries might actually heal by 70-80%.

Just like a patient with a fracture, as long as the fracture is properly aligned and a cast is applied for fixation, the bone can heal in three or four months.

But how much time has passed since his neck was broken? Less than half an hour.

Could this be a benefit of having one's body enhanced by the Blood Hand Ghost?

Speaking of the changes in his body after his resurrection, Chu Jiang always felt something was off. The Bloodhand Ghost was an ethereal being; did it truly possess the ability to enhance one's physique?

Chu Jiang even recalled Yan Wanli, whom he had met at headquarters. Yan Wanli also possessed extremely strong physical explosive power, but that power came from the [Ghost Corpse].

Perhaps the physical changes have little to do with the Bloody Hand Ghost, but are more likely related to the Ghost Diaries...

In short, something must have happened during the time I lost consciousness.

......

Although Chu Jiang is now greatly eroded, he has also gained an additional ability as a result.

He slightly raised his hand, and his right hand became somewhat illusory. He lowered his hand, and it passed through the car seat, as if it had been projected onto the car.

If needed, Chu Jiang can now pass through walls at will for a short period of time.

This is one of the important signs of the transformation from a human to a ghost.

With a silent sigh, Chu Jiang decided not to change his destination. He would go to the hospital for a check-up first.

-----------------------

As soon as Chu Jiang got out of the car at the Municipal People's Hospital, an ambulance with its siren blaring and lights flashing drove into the hospital.

Behind the ambulance followed a two-wheeled electric scooter. The driver was a petite woman wearing a mask, a white T-shirt, and jeans; her brow was furrowed, and she looked very worried.

When Chu Jiang first saw the girl, she looked somewhat familiar.

After the girl drove past, Chu Jiang lowered his head slightly and muttered to himself, "Little rich girl? What's she doing here?"

That's right, this is Xu Xiaoxiao, who stayed at the same hotel as Chu Jiang when they were in Luozhou City.

Xu Xiaoxiao is a girl with a strong sense of justice, but it seems she had a conflict with her family and ran away from home to Luozhou City.

Chu Jiang originally thought that the two sides would never meet again, just like he and Sun Xiaoman, but he didn't expect to see each other again so soon.

Shaking his head, Chu Jiang ignored her; it was probably just a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, just as Chu Jiang entered the hospital lobby and registered for the emergency department, Xu Xiaoxiao rushed up to him in a flurry.

"Is it really you?? I thought I was seeing things." Her voice was filled with surprise.

Chu Jiang glanced at her expressionlessly. "Hello, do we know each other?"

"It's me." Xu Xiaoxiao took off her mask, revealing her delicate and lovely face.

It has to be said, the young heiress is quite pretty. Her eyes are bright and sparkling, her face is slightly flushed from running so fast, and she has shallow dimples on her cheeks; when she speaks, she also reveals two sharp little tiger teeth.

Chu Jiang looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's face carefully before saying with certainty, "I've never seen this face before, so you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"How could I..." Xu Xiao started to say, but then remembered that when she was at the hotel, she had kept her head down and covered half her face with her baseball cap because she was afraid of revealing her identity...

"I am Xu Xiaoxiao. We met at the Linjiang Hotel before."

Chu Jiang walked away from her side, saying, "I've never heard of that name."

This infuriated Xu Xiaoxiao. "You even gave me a nickname!"

"What nickname?" Chu Jiang asked as he walked.

"Little rich girl." Xu Xiaoxiao followed along, pouting.

"Oh, it's you," Chu Jiang finally said, as if he remembered. "We're not familiar, are we? By the way, didn't you come in with the ambulance? You must have something to do, right?"

“My cousin got hit by a car…” Speaking of her cousin, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but rub her forehead. “That guy, I really wonder how he grew to be so big.”

"He recently became obsessed with live streaming, saying he wanted to learn from others and become a live streamer. He even went so far as to film a collection of traffic accidents, but ended up becoming the one who caused the traffic accident."

Chu Jiang didn't care at all, "Then why are you following me?"

“He won’t die anytime soon, but it seems like his leg is broken from the impact; I still need to stay close to you, so you don’t run away again if we turn around.”

Chu Jiang stopped in his tracks, looking at Xu Xiaoxiao with a cold gaze. "You don't find what I'm doing very interesting, do you?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was startled by his gaze. She took a small step back and said, "No, I just want to ask you for help with something."

Chu Jiang continued walking forward, saying, "If you have any problems, go to the police, don't come to me."

“It’s a very special case, and going to the police won’t help.” Xu Xiaoxiao was still unwilling to give up.

"I asked Sister Xiaoman about what happened last time. Although she wouldn't tell me the truth, she did say that she encountered something very strange and bizarre, and you helped her. She's very grateful to you..."

"Stop." Chu Jiang stopped Xu Xiaoxiao outside the emergency room and went to see the doctor first, asking him to order a CT scan.

After Chu Jiang came out, Xu Xiaoxiao was still waiting for him.

There was no further conversation between the two. Xu Xiaoxiao accompanied Chu Jiang through all the examinations, silently following him the whole time. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was a family member.

After all the test results came out, it was found that Chu Jiang's cervical spine and neck were perfectly normal, but he was anemic, and it had reached a fairly serious level.

After refusing the doctor's suggestion to admit her to the hospital, Chu Jiang took Xu Xiaoxiao to the green lawn in the hospital.

"Tell me what you have to say, and I'll see if I should hand you over to the police."

Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this guy was much harder to get along with than before.

"It's like this, my grandfather recently had an accident."

"This story has to start from the beginning. It's not wrong for you to call me a little rich woman, because my family is indeed quite wealthy. My grandfather started his business, and my father inherited his business."

"After decades of development, it has now become a family business, mainly engaged in steel and building materials, and also involved in some real estate."

"I guess I'm a third-generation rich kid, but I have no talent for business and no interest in it. I also have an older brother to rely on."

"The reason I threatened to run away from home a while ago was because my family was forcing me to go on blind dates."

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is that my family told me that my grandfather might not have much time left. That's why I rushed from Luozhou City to Luohe City."

Chapter 97 A terrifying ability upon closer examination

When Xu Xiaoxiao talked about it, her face was full of worry.

“I arrived yesterday. Although my family exaggerated a bit, my grandfather’s condition is indeed not very good.”

“Grandpa used to be very energetic, even though he was old, and he always stood up straight. But now, he’s hunched over, as if, as if something is pressing down on his back.”

“I also asked my grandfather, and he said that ever since he got this strange disease, he has always felt a strong, heavy, and cold pressure on his back. He can’t even sleep peacefully and can only sleep on his side.”

"Moreover, the condition is getting worse every day. Although he has only been sick for a few months, he looks like he has aged several years."

"Grandpa went to many well-known hospitals at home and abroad for treatment, but they could not find the cause of the disease or alleviate it. They could only receive some IV drips to supplement nutrition and force his body to hold on."

"A few months?" Chu Jiang specifically asked about the timeframe.
