Chapter 48 Conditions
Headquarters of the Asian Ghost Tamers
The switchboard room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.
Zhao Kaiming died in Zhongzhou City, killed by an unofficial employee personally recruited by headquarters.
If this matter blows up, the headquarters will probably become a laughing stock in the paranormal community.
Zhao Jianguo wanted to call back, but he canceled the call halfway through.
"Damn it, of all times, something like this had to happen..."
Zhao Jianguo tossed aside the report in his hand, which contained the amount of ghost money that Wang Xiaoming had requisitioned.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
Zhao Kaiming's death will have an irreversible impact on Chu Mo; at the very least, it will postpone Chu Mo's formal joining of headquarters.
Killing the city's leader is a major taboo.
He sighed deeply, realizing that all the persuasive work he had done on behalf of the other party these past few days was probably going to be in vain.
"Go and get me Zhao Kaiming's file. Also, get me a copy of his recent psychological data assessment, including his network of relationships in Dachang City."
He instructed Zhao Kaiming's operator: "Remember to focus on investigating whether there has been any conflict between him and Chu Mo."
"Okay, Captain Zhao, I'll go right now."
Zhao Jianguo nodded, his eyes fixed on Zhao Kaiming's location signal in Zhongzhou City.
After a long silence, he seemed to have made a decision, and got up to walk into Cao Yanhua's office.

the other side.
Chu Mo carried Zhao Kaiming's body, his feelings equally complicated.
It wasn't because he killed the other party; to him, Zhao Kaiming's death was not worth the thought.
He was struggling with the problem of dealing with the wishing ghost.
"The old man in the copper coin robe's supernatural abilities are almost over. With my current skills, I simply can't continue to suppress this ghost."
"If we go to Dachang City to retrieve the coffin nails now, it might be too late."
Chu Mo felt a headache coming on. Killing Zhao Kaiming was easy, but the wishing ghost had become a hot potato.
If it is not dealt with and escapes, it will definitely bring about a devastating disaster, which is not the result I want to see.
"For now, let's leave this demon with the First Generation. I can take it back once I'm able to control it."
Chu Mo stopped hesitating and quickly pulled the first generation into the terminal.
After a brief conversation, the wishing ghost was handed over.
As the first generation's agent for the money exchange, the sheer terror of the money exchange made controlling a ghost a piece of cake.
After finishing all that, Chu Mo returned to reality without stopping.
He approached Yan Li, and even though he had stopped the demon blood in the other's body by making a wish, the situation was still not optimistic.
The amount of ghost blood that had spilled out had already spread to a radius of two meters. If left unchecked, the ghost blood would continue to spread.
"Yan Li, is he still alive?" Chu Mo pasted yellow paper on various parts of the other person's body.
Although the pressing force of yellow paper is not that obvious, it can still have a certain effect when the quantity is increased.
He coughed twice, sounding very weak.
"Brother Chu... I probably won't survive. It's better to die on Ghost Street. At least the resurrection of vengeful ghosts won't harm reality."
He shook his head, indicating that he should leave him alone.
However, Chu Mo's hands did not stop moving.
One by one, the yellow paper was pasted up, and as it was soaked in blood, it lost its supernatural power.
There was so much ghost blood leaking out that the talisman was immediately suppressed as soon as it was applied.
Chu Mo squinted. The old man in the copper coin robe beside him had disappeared. To use it again, he would have to spend more ghost coins.
This only solves the immediate problem; once the supernatural events involving the old man in the copper coin robe subside, the ghost blood will continue to revive.
Half of the paper money in my hand has already been used up. Even if I use it all up, it will only delay the resurgence of the ghost blood for a few minutes, which is not feasible.
Isn't there any other way?
suddenly.
Chu Mo turned his head and looked at a paper-making shop next door.
I remember when we arrived, Yan Li seemed to have mentioned that the ghost blood was sensitive to a piece of paper clothing inside.
That paper garment was worth six yuan in paper money.
Want to give it a try?
After counting the remaining paper money, Chu Mo found it totaled fourteen yuan, which was more than enough to buy paper clothes.
Without hesitation, he flashed into the paper-making shop.
"I've got my eye on this dress, sell it to me for a discount."
Chu Mo pointed to the suits hanging on the shelf.
"Six yuan, only six yuan, that's already very cheap."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo coldly replied, "Sanyuan, either you sell it to me, or I'll take it back."
He held the three yuan paper money in his hand, and the old man in the copper coin robe reappeared behind him.
The three yuan wasn't the price he paid to the paper-making shop, but rather the price he paid the old man in the copper coin clothes to get the goods.
However, no sooner had he spoken than the door of the paper-making shop was slammed shut.
Clearly, this shop wasn't under pressure, and Chu Mo posed no threat to them.
That being the case.
"Let's do it!"
Chu Mo scattered the three yuan paper money, and before the paper-making shop could even touch it, the old man in the copper coin robe collected it.
One minute later.
Chu Mo brought a paper-mache suit to Yan Li and put it on directly.
Yan Li wasn't quite sure about the effects of this paper garment, and was just trying his luck. If it still didn't work, then he would have no choice but to accept his fate.
After all, I had already tried every method I could think of.
The paper suit is entirely black, and although it is made of paper, its quality is no different from that of a normal suit.
Almost the instant he put it on, the suit seemed to embed itself into his flesh, becoming one with him.
It seems like I can't take this garment off.
However, this was not what surprised Chu Mo, because as soon as he put on the clothes, the ghost blood seemed to have found a container and all of it poured into the suit.
In less than half a minute, half of the paper suit was dyed red.
As for the overflowing ghost blood, it all seeped into the clothes.
"Brother Chu... I've dragged you down."
Yan Li sat on the ground. Although the resurgence of the evil spirit had been delayed considerably, he was not very happy, and his eyes appeared cloudy.
Chu Mo patted the other man on the shoulder, knowing that Yan Li had become like this because Zhao Kaiming had killed his wife and children.
Yan Li used to live entirely for his family, but now that his family is gone, he naturally feels that life has no meaning anymore.
Of course, Yan Li wouldn't blame Chu Mo for saving him; he would only feel that it was his own incompetence that made him unable to shoulder the responsibility of protection.
Chu Mo offered no comfort; there was nothing he could do to help with this. He could only rely on his own strictness to slowly process it.
After all, no one could have predicted that Zhao Kaiming would go so far as to seek revenge on ordinary people.
I don't know how much time passed.
Yan Li stood up from the ground, seemingly having made up his mind, and said to Chu Mo, "Brother Chu, I want to control a second ghost. Can you help me?"
"Controlling a second ghost?"
Chu Mo remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
He knew that Yan Li was eager to become stronger, just like a man might choose to go to the gym after a breakup.
He wanted to change his current situation.
Unfortunately, Chu Mo couldn't help him.
"The ghost blood in your body is too special. To make a second ghost compatible with you is several times more difficult than for an ordinary ghost tamer."
After a pause, Chu Mo said, "However, I have another way for you to control two ghosts, but there are conditions."
"What are the conditions?"
"Give me your demon blood, and in exchange, I'll help you control two demons."
