Chapter 39 The Meeting Targeting Chu Mo
have to say.
As the squad leader, Zhao Jianguo's personal abilities are indeed beyond question.
Chu Mo didn't hang up the phone. Instead, he put it on speakerphone and opened the file the other party had just sent.
The file also details a paranormal event, but the location is not in Central State, but in DQ City.
This is a city under the jurisdiction of a man named Liu San, but Chu Mo knows that this is not his real name.
The other person's real name is Xie An, and his supernatural abilities are inherited from the paper craftsman who saved him during the Republic of China era.
As one of the later twelve captains, codenamed Paper Man, there is very little description of his city in the original work, so Chu Mo is not clear about the situation in that city.
His gaze swept over the files.
[DQ City's eerie folk street.]
[Investigation findings: An unknown street, connected to a source where a vengeful ghost is clearly present, with an extremely high level of terror. This area cannot be sealed off; it is a no-go zone for the living.]
[Event Level: A]
[Event Details: The folk-custom street itself does not have the capacity to spread, but the ghosts inside can ignore restrictions and wander out at will.]
[Recorded on May 23rd, by Liu San.]
"Captain Zhao, what price is headquarters planning to offer for this incident?"
"Ten-yuan ghost money".
"Ten yuan for paper money for a Class A incident is too little; this matter may not be resolved properly."
Zhao Jianguo sensed what the other person was thinking, so he followed up by asking, "How much paper money do you think is appropriate? I think I'll get feedback from above as well."
Chu Mo thought about it for a moment. He had never experienced this before and was not clear about the specifics, so he didn't ask for more.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The minimum is fifteen yuan, but you need to pay seven yuan as a deposit in advance."
"I'll do my best to help you get it."
Zhao Jianguo didn't agree immediately; fifteen yuan was too much. At that time, even for C-level paranormal events, the price was only three yuan.
He wasn't confident he could persuade Wang Xiaoming, so he could only try to appease Chu Mo for the time being.
"Well, we'll see how things go. This is my minimum expectation."
Chu Mo didn't actually have any particular intention of going to DQ City, but the situation forced him to leave him with no other choice.
The wishing ghost is like a Damocles' sword hanging over one's head; without paper money, one is always at risk of being retaliated against by Zhao Kaiming.
After hanging up the phone, it was already quite late.
Chu Mo planned to rest first. As for removing Cheng Hao from his post and exploring the ghost street in Taiping Ancient Town, he would deal with that tomorrow morning.
However, just as Chu Mo was taking a break, the Zhongzhou City Club held an emergency meeting specifically for him.
The conference table was surrounded by seven men and one woman, but there were nine business cards on it.
The only empty space was clearly marked with the name "Cheng Hao".
"Boss, that new Ghost Tamer sent from headquarters is too wary; Cheng Hao's identity has been exposed."
Qian Ping spoke first, glancing at the wealthy man at the head of the conference table, his face still gloomy.
The wealthy man had his feet propped up on the conference table, adorned with gold and silver jewelry, and a half-smoked cigar dangling from his mouth.
Wang Jincai exhaled a thick fog, his voice slightly low.
"In my opinion, Cheng Hao's exposure was inevitable, but has that new guy at headquarters had his background investigated?"
At this moment, the female ghost tamer named Feng Lu took out a file.
"This is a file that Cheng Hao retrieved from headquarters, but due to access restrictions, it only contains some basic information."
"The other person's full name is Chu Mo, a native of Meishan Village, Dachang City. He was still studying at Dachang No. 7 Middle School a week ago. Due to a sudden supernatural event, he became a ghost tamer."
"Newbie Ghost Controller?"
Wang Jincai narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the information in the file was not quite accurate.
He didn't believe that a new Ghost Tamer could gain the attention of headquarters in such a short time.
"This is information from the headquarters archives, but according to Cheng Hao's description, when the man was at the Zhongzhou Reservoir, the supernatural behavior he displayed was extremely terrifying. It was as if a ghost was always following him."
"What does it mean to be followed by a ghost?"
Feng Lu glanced at the ghost tamer who asked the question, "It means exactly what it says. The ghost wasn't controlled, but for some reason, it was kept by his side and also exists in the ghost realm."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the club's expression changed.
"Feng Lu, are you kidding? According to you, this person must have controlled at least two ghosts. Is that something a newbie could do?"
One of the ghost tamers looked on in disbelief; there was no precedent for this in the paranormal world, nor would there ever be.
Moreover, domestic research professors haven't even figured out a way to control a second vengeful ghost yet, so how can a newcomer possibly control more than two ghosts?
luck?
He didn't believe this person could be so lucky.
Qian Ping disagreed, saying, "Whether it's true or not, the fact that this person could kill Zhao Shuo in an instant proves that he's no ordinary person."
"You know, Zhao Shuo is no newcomer."
"So what do we do now? Headquarters has transferred such a troublemaker here, so our lives aren't going to be so easy from now on."
The group of ghost tamers all nodded in agreement.
Wang Jincai remained silent, and his expression was also unpleasant.
He seemed to be weighing his options.
As a demon tamer who controls two ghosts, I might not be without a way to deal with a real confrontation.
However, this means that Zhongzhou Club is essentially openly opposing the headquarters.
Even if Chu Mo is defeated, a new Ghost Master will be transferred over.
No matter which way the club goes, it will lose something.
Moreover, once this matter is undertaken, it must be carried through to the end, meaning a complete breakdown in relations with no room for compromise.
"Boss, Zhao Shuo's death will inevitably bring some negative impacts. If we choose to tolerate it, we may lose a lot of the companies that rely on us."
"So what do you think we should do?"
Wang Jincai looked at the member who had raised the question; on the member's nameplate were the words "Cheng Yao".
He is Cheng Hao's older brother and is considered the most senior ghost tamer in the club.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had followed him for so long, he wouldn't have planned to appoint Cheng Hao as the head of headquarters.
Cheng Yao said, "The headquarters' reputation is important to us. If we go it out in the open, we'll obviously be at a greater disadvantage. Since Chu Mo is just an outside helper, we might as well start by targeting his identity."
"you mean......"
"By using external factors, we can label him as a traitor who has served three masters. I believe no organization would want someone who is two-timing."
To be honest, Cheng Yao's methods were rather crude and could hardly be called a plan.
However, it must be said that this is at least the least risky and feasible solution at present.
Wang Jincai nodded. "In that case, contact those investors and have all the important figures attend a meeting at the club tomorrow morning at nine. The person to be met is Chu Mo!"
"I'll make him lose all face and stay out of the paranormal world. If this succeeds, the club will grant him permission to order paranormal drugs for the next six months!"
