Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 38 Gambling Den on Ghost Street

"Remove the person in charge of Zhongzhou City from their post?"

Zhao Jianguo frowned and put down his pen again.

"Can you tell me the reason? According to the information I have, although the person in charge of Zhongzhou City doesn't have any outstanding achievements, he is still considered to be quite conscientious. Is there some kind of conflict between you?"

As the team leader of the Asian division, Cheng Hao had conducted evaluations of each newly appointed person in charge of each city, and he was one of the emotionally stable types.

However, Chu Mo simply played the recording from the recorder onto the phone's audio feed.

a long time.

Zhao Jianguo fell silent.

"Captain Zhao, to be honest, I don't want to get involved in matters within your headquarters' jurisdiction, but your people aren't very clean, which makes it difficult for me to fully commit to the upcoming cooperation."

Chu Mo said, "You can choose not to remove Cheng Hao from his position, but I may not necessarily stay in Zhongzhou City."

"I believe that with my abilities, people in my social circle, paranormal forums, and even some small community groups would be happy to have me join them."

He wasn't joking with the other person.

If these people remain unmoved, then there is no need for me to continue cooperating with headquarters.

Although paper money is scarce, it's not something that only the headquarters has.

Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but begin to seriously examine this matter.

"Give me half a day. I need to verify this. If it's true, I'll grant you the authority to withdraw the investigation."

"Alright, in that case, let's postpone the cooperation until after this matter is over."

Chu Mo hung up the phone after speaking.

It's not that I'm afraid of the authority of the person in charge, but rather that I need the headquarters to show the attitude that is appropriate for cooperation.

Ultimately, whether or not a city has a leader doesn't have a significant impact on me; it just makes things a little more convenient.

After finishing this task, Chu Mo got up and went to the open space where the body bags were placed.

"I've fulfilled the ghost cabinet's request. According to the rules, may I ask this thing one more question? Do I need to go to Dachang City now?"

After thinking it over carefully, he shook his head.

The deadline for Ghost Wardrobe is one month, and there is still plenty of time. Moreover, Zhao Kaiming's current situation is still unknown. If that guy is not dead, and instead finds out that I am in Dachang City, he will most likely fight me to the death.

At that point, without debt bonds and paper money, things could get very tricky.

of course.

With the wishing ghost's power, Zhao Kaiming could quickly reach any city he wanted, no matter which city he was in.

I put the body bag into the terminal, intending to ask about the production of the second-generation talisman, but the other party connected to me on their own initiative.

"Brother, you're really something. You sent a father to my point in time without saying a word. If it weren't for the first generation's backup, I would have really been finished."

The second generation's tone carried a hint of reproach, but it wasn't really blame; he was just venting.

Chu Mo shrugged, looking quite helpless.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, it's Meng Xiaodong who was materialized by the bronze mirror. Even if he's not even half as strong as the real person, his endlessly invading supernatural power is enough to make him troublesome."

"The first generation said that Meng Xiaodong had about 30% of the original owner's supernatural abilities."

"Thirty percent...that's really outrageous..."

This was just one of the seven elders; if six more had gotten off the bus, things would have been much more complicated.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't help but set his sights on something even further ahead.

What he needs to fight now is not the modern-day ghost tamers, but the old monsters that existed in the Republic of China era.

Thinking of this, he changed the subject, "By the way, second generation, there shouldn't be much demand for ghost money in your era, right?"

Seemingly understanding Chu Mo's thoughts, the second generation expressed that he was powerless to help.

"Don't even think about the paper money here. I've invested most of it in the First Generation. The strength of the evil spirit on that guy is linked to the bank itself. The more powerful the bank is, the more terrifying that old man in the copper coin robe will be."

"Although he is currently only an agent of the money shop, he will inherit the entire money shop sooner or later. Investing in him is a good investment."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo felt somewhat disappointed. Did he really have to go and trade ghost money with the Ghost Chest himself?

Before he could speak, the second-generation rich kid offered a suggestion.

"Actually, I do know a way to make money through shady means. I think you could give it a try, and of the three of us, you're the most suitable."

"What connections?"

Chu Mo immediately became interested.

The second-generation rich kid said, "If you can find a gambling den in Ghost Street, I'll teach you how to win money there."

"In my time, this gambling den was still in business and business was always good. Even I would sometimes go and play a few rounds. However, the gambling den owner was a bit of a gambler. After he found out that I could steal the supernatural information from the gambling table, he kicked me out and never let me in again."

At this point, the second generation seemed somewhat displeased.

Why shouldn't I be allowed to continue gambling when I clearly won the money through my own skill?

Chu Mo looked at the other person with disdain. Who wouldn't want to do this?

He didn't ask why the first generation wasn't allowed to go, because anyone with a brain would know that the rules of gambling dens in the early Republic of China were definitely more complete, and the terror and danger were also higher.

"You're planning to have me go to that gambling den and win money? Is that even possible?"

"It will definitely work. The gambling den owner is an old man who won't live to see your time. If you can find the gambling den, it will probably have been taken over by ghosts long ago."

"You know how ghosts are, most of them don't have much of a brain. If you exploit a loophole, you can make a killing off them."

Chu Mo agreed with this statement.

"That's interesting. Do you know the exact location? I happen to be in Zhongzhou City."

The second generation thought for a moment, "If Ghost Street hasn't changed, it should be around the middle level of Ghost Street. When you pass the coffin shop, continue to go a little deeper inside. It shouldn't be too far."

Thanks.

Before leaving, Chu Mo asked about the human skin paper.

But the other party's answer surprised him slightly.

"The human skin paper seems to have inherited some characteristics of the ghost baby. I can't leave the yellow paper on the human skin paper for long, which slows down the process considerably. But if you need it, I can give it to you anytime."

Chu Mo thought about it for a moment, but wasn't in a hurry.

"You can continue your research; I don't need this for now."

To Chu Mo's surprise, Zhao Jianguo called back in less than ten minutes after Chu Mo disconnected the terminal.

"Mr. Chu, I have confirmed some information about Cheng Hao's background. His dismissal is not a problem, but headquarters is currently short-staffed. If possible, I hope you can temporarily fill in for the person in charge of Zhongzhou City."

Chu Mo pondered for a few seconds, but instead of making things difficult for the other party, he readily agreed.

At least, until the new person in charge arrives, I don't have to deal with their work-related issues.

Zhao Jianguo continued, "Also, regarding the cooperation, I've compiled a document and sent it to your phone. Please remember to check it."
