Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 50 Yang Jian's Tragedy

Ghost Rider Headquarters

While Cao Yanhua was holding a high-level meeting, Zhao Jianguo returned to his office.

He took out his communication device, hesitating whether or not to call Chu Mo back.

If the headquarters unilaterally cuts off cooperation, the other party will eventually find out. It's better to explain it sooner rather than later and see how the other party reacts.

After a moment, he pressed the call button.

"Hey, Zhao Jianguo, what's the decision from headquarters about how to deal with me?"

Chu Mo had just returned to Lin'an Building and was leaning back on the sofa when he half-jokingly said...

Given the headquarters' track record, it would be quite an eye-opener if they didn't issue an arrest warrant for me at this stage.

Zhao Jianguo coughed, clearly choked by Chu Mo's words.

"Mr. Chu, it's not as bad as you think."

He said, "I have already investigated the cause of the matter. Zhao Kaiming's death was indeed his own doing. However, killing the person in charge is a major taboo, and this has always been a rule of headquarters."

"Therefore, our cooperation may need to be paused until the higher-ups reach a conclusion."

Zhao Jianguo tried to downplay Cao Yanhua's words; if he had said them verbatim, the other party would most likely have run away without looking back.

He really didn't want to lose such a hard-won talent.

However, Chu Mo remained calm after hearing this, saying, "Then there's nothing to talk about. It seems I really don't have any connection with headquarters. In that case, let's not contact each other anymore."

Chu Mo hung up the phone without any reaction.

For him, the headquarters was just a platform for him to make money off ghost money. Since the platform was no longer useful, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Chu Mo wouldn't shamelessly go to headquarters to offer some excuses.

After tidying up briefly, the original plan was to help headquarters get rid of the unruly Cheng Hao after returning from Ghost Street.

Now we don't need to anymore.

"Looks like I need to make as much money as possible before the gambling den closes down completely."

They counted the remaining paper money.

After deducting the twenty yuan in paper money spent on driving the old man in the copper coin robe, he still had fourteen yuan left.

The amount spent suppressing the wishing ghost was far too much, which made Chu Mo feel very distressed.

Under normal circumstances, the remaining paper money can still be used to urge the old man in the copper coin robe to use it four more times.

Just as I was thinking this, my phone suddenly lit up, and a call came in.

Looking at the name, Chu Mo was somewhat surprised.

"Zhao Lei?"

As classmates at Dachang No. 7 Middle School, Chu Mo remembered that in the original story, this guy's memories were altered by the newspaper ghost during the starving ghost incident, and he eventually died at Caesar Hotel. His body was even used by Yang Jian and stitched together with Tong Qian, the person in charge of ZS City.

What does this guy want from me?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chu Mo pressed the answer button.

"Chu Mo, it's me, Yang Jian."

Yang Jian's voice came from the other end of the phone. It seemed to be noisy on his end, and the signal was not very stable, so his voice was intermittent.

"Yang Jian, what do you want?"

"Here's the thing, Zhao Lei is caught up in a paranormal event. He came to me to handle it, but when I got here, the situation was far more complicated than I had imagined. Now we're all trapped in this paranormal event. Can you come and help us out?"

Yang Jiandao: "We are currently located in a small town on the outskirts of Dachang City."

Chu Mo didn't agree immediately. He pondered for a moment, "Tell me in detail, do you know the patterns of ghosts' killing?"

"I don't know, but I've had some contact with it before. It was the ghost that appeared in my house with a newspaper in its hand. Besides that, there's another hidden ghost in the town. Both ghosts are very troublesome, and the newspaper ghost seems to be intelligent. It attacked Zhao Lei, and all my communication devices were lost in it."

After a pause, Yang Jian guessed, "I suspect that the newspaper ghost altered Zhao Lei's memory and used him to pass on false information to me; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken this risk."

He seemed somewhat regretful, never expecting that he would one day be outmaneuvered by a ghost.

Yang Jian's description surprised Chu Mo, as it was completely unexpected.

But he immediately became wary. "If that's the case, how can you guarantee that your memories haven't been altered by that ghost?"

His precautions were not without reason. Back in Dachang City, the other party had mentioned being attacked by a newspaper ghost. Although it did not alter Yang Jian's memory, it at least proved that the ghost was capable of doing so.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, seemingly genuinely considering how to prove himself.

Not long after.

He said, "Last summer vacation, we borrowed study materials from Zhang Wei together. Three months ago, you said you liked girls with a pure and alluring style. A month ago..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Chu Mo's lips twitched, and he immediately interrupted Yang Jian, not daring to let him continue.

Although these were all the original owner's quirks before the transmigration, the current situation makes it impossible to defend oneself.

"Besides the newspaper ghost, do you know anything about the other ghost you mentioned?"

"I don't know much about it, but as soon as I expand my ghost domain, that ghost will invade and try to attack me. It's not that scary, but it's quite troublesome. In addition, the newspaper ghost harasses me from time to time, making it difficult to leave. I'm worried that if this continues, the balance of the vengeful spirits in my body will be broken very quickly."

Yang Jian expressed his concerns.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, he wouldn't have planned to trouble Chu Mo, but things didn't go as planned.

Send me the address, I'll come over.

Chu Mo's tone was solemn, but he still agreed.

Just when he was worried about finding the newspaper ghost, Yang Jian's information was like a godsend.

The only variable is the ghost the other party mentioned.

This did not appear in the original work, and Chu Mo felt that it was very likely that his appearance caused some things to deviate from the original plan.

But since we haven't been affected, the final outcome must be perfect.

Within Dachang City.

After hanging up the call and receiving a definite reply, Yang Jian's tense nerves relaxed considerably.

He was hiding in a small shop, and next to him, Zhao Lei was stuffed into a gold-woven body bag.

After his memories were altered by the newspaper ghost, Yang Jian was unsure whether the other party would be the same as before when he woke up, so he could only observe in this way for the time being.

Right now, all I can do is pin my hopes on Chu Mo.

He wasn't sure how wide the ghost's influence was, but at least for now, once the ghost domain was activated, it would be instantly locked down.

Occasionally, strange red paper fluttered down the street, and the sound of footsteps echoed at the intersection.

He seemed to be looking for Yang Jian, but at this moment he didn't even dare to stick his head out.

Although controlling the headless ghost gave him the ability to fight against the supernatural, he still suffered the same losses as before.
