Chapter 27, Generation 2: Help me research the human skin paper.
Chu Mo surveyed the city's prosperity, finding it essentially no different from Dachang City.
To be honest, most of the heads of headquarters these days are arrogant and haughty, and Cheng Hao is definitely a minority.
Cheng Hao did not respond, but instead glanced at the other person a few more times through the rearview mirror.
Not long after.
The vehicle was parked downstairs in a building.
"Lin'an Building, this is my office. Your accommodation is next door, in the hotel that belongs to Lin'an Building."
Cheng Hao pointed to the towering five-star hotel near the building.
As one of the few business hotels in Zhongzhou City, its facilities and environment are comparable to those of luxury residences.
Chu Mo nodded, quite satisfied with the place.
The hotel has seven floors in total. The second floor is a buffet restaurant, the third floor is an entertainment area, the fourth floor is standard rooms, and the fifth and sixth floors are VIP areas.
As for the seventh floor, it is a private lounge that the headquarters has contracted out to the person in charge.
Cheng Hao also lives here.
The seventh floor is spacious, but there are only three rooms on the entire floor.
"702, 703, this will be your accommodation from now on. Although it looks like a hotel from the outside, the interior is not much different from the villas of those wealthy businessmen. I hope you can get used to it."
Cheng Hao handed the room key to Chu Mo and Yan Li, which he considered to be one of the preferential treatments offered by headquarters.
Strictness clearly hadn't adapted yet.
What have I been striving for my whole life in Dachang City?
As for Chu Mo, he glanced at it a few times and then put it back in his pocket.
"Thanks. Could you tell me about Zhongzhou City and its surrounding areas?"
Seeing Cheng Hao's enthusiasm, Chu Mo naturally wouldn't just sit there doing nothing.
Cheng Hao seemed to have been prepared. When Chu Mo took the initiative to speak, he quickly had his assistant take out the files that had been prepared in his briefcase.
"This document records paranormal events and unexplained anomalies that have occurred in Zhongzhou City in recent years. In addition, it includes information on local NGOs and investment collaborations in the city's business districts, which I will not go into detail about."
After handing the file to Chu Mo, Cheng Hao quickly left after receiving a phone call.
Chu Mo did not try to stop him, but returned to his room and lay down on the bed.
Instead of immediately opening the file, he took out the crumpled, cold human skin paper from his pocket.
Fang Jing's death made him think a lot, and he even felt a sense of lingering fear because of it.
"Judging from Fang Jing's behavior at the time, it seems that your thing provided him with an incredible solution."
Chu Mo stared at the human skin paper, which had no writing on it, seemingly unwilling to reveal any information.
But he didn't care and continued to speculate, "You let him control the ghost infant, but in my opinion, this is just bait you set out. If Fang Jing listens, he will become part of your plan. The one who really wants to control the ghost infant is you, right?"
Chu Mo coldly scrutinized the human skin paper, but the other party remained unmoved.
It seems they've already given up.
"It seems I guessed right. You can't directly control the ghost baby, because that ghost will most likely eat you. At that time, let alone control it, you will most likely become a piece of its puzzle."
"This is not the result you wanted, so you gave Fang Jing a plan to control the ghost infant. Then, in the process, you invaded Fang Jing, making Fang Jing the body you used to control the ghost infant. Then you controlled Fang Jing, thereby gaining the ability to control the ghost infant."
"Ghost Tamer, I must say, you're quite the player."
Chu Mo squinted. If Fang Jing had really gotten on the supernatural bus back then, given the ghost's intelligence, the entire supernatural land would probably have become its buffet.
By then, let alone fighting against it, the entire paranormal community will basically have no way to counter this ghost.
If I hadn't happened to be on the bus, I probably would have let that ghost succeed.
As if their plan had been exposed, a line of text suddenly appeared on the human skin paper.
My name is Chu Mo. By the time you see this, I will already be dead...
After escaping the haunted bus, I became a true ghost tamer. However, due to the relatively weak balance between the dried-up corpse bride and the wailing grave ghost, I will soon die from the resurrection of the vengeful spirit. I am now urgently looking for suitable puzzle pieces to strengthen the wailing grave ghost, so I opened the human skin paper I stole from Fang Jing.
[However, due to the matter of Fang Jing, I did not believe in the human skin paper plan, and so, half a month later, I died.]
Chu Mo squinted, wondering what the human skin paper was up to, but he didn't care.
"Are you trying to threaten me into using you?"
Chu Mo smiled gently, "Then you've really found the right person."
The paper did not continue writing, but waited for Chu Mo's question.
To its surprise, Chu Mo not only didn't ask any questions, but even hid himself away.
He opened the terminal and brought in the second generation.
"Brother, can this piece of human skin paper be made into a talisman, the kind without any side effects?"
Chu Mo threw the human skin paper directly to the other party.
The second-generation heir took the paper skin, but was somewhat bewildered.
Wait, this is human skin paper!
"Yes, we can do it. Anything supernatural can be done!"
The second generation unfolded the human skin paper. This thing originally intended to use the writing to deceive the second generation, but when it came to writing the name, it clearly paused.
No, why are you also called Chu Mo?
Even the paper doll was bewildered.
The second-generation brother, however, put it away with a wicked grin. "Brother, this is my first time researching intelligent ghosts. Give me a week. If it works out, we'll really hit the jackpot."
"Just give me some paper money from your shop after it's all done."
Chu Mo waved his hand, handed over the human skin paper, and then did not linger.
"Paper money is no problem, but even in my time, it's still extremely rare. But I'll try my best to provide it for you."
The second-generation leader seemed to have noticed Chu Mo's current state, so he gave him a thumbs up and said, "But you, sleeping in the same bed with a ghost, you're more capable than me. Suddenly asking for paper money, are you planning to marry a ghost bride?"
Chu Mo's face darkened. What did he mean by sleeping in the same bed as a ghost? What did he mean by marrying a bride? Why did he dislike hearing these words so much?
"Instead of talking about this, why don't you tell me the exact location of the shop you opened on Ghost Street back then? I happen to be in Zhongzhou City right now, and maybe I can find the ruins and get some inheritance for myself."
The second-generation rich kid didn't continue joking. Without thinking, he said, "There are many Ghost Streets in my time. You might not be able to find one. Each Ghost Street leads to a different place. My shop is at the very end of Ghost Street. Apart from some vendors around here, I basically don't encounter any living people."
He provided some useful information.
There isn't just one Ghost Street.
This is a question worth considering.
If there is more than one Ghost Street, wouldn't that mean that this place has a medium point connecting to reality all over the country?
Because of the intricate and complex nature of Ghost Street, it's quite possible to get lost inside.
If that's the case, then Chu Mo really needs to seriously consider it.
This is not a joke.
"Okay, I got it. Also, remember to give me any extra Black-Clad Ghost Domain Talismans; I really need them right now."
"no problem."
After disconnecting, Chu Mo sat up in bed.
He stopped thinking about inheriting the Ghost Street estate; before that, he needed to have the ability to traverse supernatural places.
This is very important; otherwise, if you get lost inside, you won't inherit the ghost shop's legacy yourself, but rather the ghosts in the ghost street will inherit yours.
