Chapter 109 Occupying Central Plains (3K)

However, just as Chen Ke was attacked, the yellow paper she was tightly clutching in her hand was completely stained red.

Holding the yellow paper, Chen Ke blindly followed Xiao Yue as they walked along the dimly lit street leading to the new city district.

But deep down, she still felt like she was standing on the street.

She followed Xiaoyue in a daze, while the old woman who had attacked her was walking in front.

This scene, formed by the convergence of consciousness, seemed to be extending, and gradually, more and more people gathered from across the street.

They all had their heads bowed, and a bright red invitation card hung on their chests.

These all appeared to be invited guests, heading to a banquet.

Among these people, Chen Ke also discovered several paper dolls mixed in.

These paper children, with smiling faces, seem to be looking at themselves, their eyes as stiff and numb as the old woman's.

"Why are there so many people protesting in the streets? And I feel like I can't move my body."

'

Just as Chen Ke was thinking this, the paper doll in front of him broke through the crowd and quickly ran up to him.

They brushed past the old woman, but for some reason, she seemed not to see them, letting the paper children pass by her.

Chen Ke's hand was quickly grabbed by the paper doll, and her body was unable to move. Like a puppet on a string, she was pulled out of the parade.

As the paper doll held Chen Ke's hand for longer, her casual clothes were gradually replaced by a groom's suit.

She was clearly a girl, but she was wearing clothes that only men would wear.

Moreover, because of the groom's attire, the paper doll that was leading him also transformed into a woman.

She was a woman dressed in a wedding gown and wearing a red veil.

At this moment, in another direction of Taiping Ancient Town, Chu Mo in reality paused and looked sharply at the street behind him.

The supernatural connection of the bride's veil to the new urban area several kilometers away was mediated.

It's the girl who bought the lucky sticker before.

The black ghostly domain spread instantly, engulfing the surrounding streets.

The pedestrians were quite frightened by this anomaly, but fortunately the environment quickly returned to normal, only Chu Mo and Yan Li were no longer among the crowd.

On the street leading to the new urban area.

The bride initiated the invasion, while Chu Mo, relying on the Ghost Domain and the bride's perception, pinpointed the exact location of the source of the outbreak.

set.

However, the street was eerily quiet; all the streetlights along the new town were off, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

No, to be precise, there are two.

The two figures, with their heads bowed, wandered in the middle of the street, inconspicuous in the darkness.

They seem to be heading in a certain direction.

It really was those two girls from before.

When Chu Mo arrived, the bride was holding the hand of one of the girls.

Lucky stickers were scattered all over the ground, and the yellow paper he had given to the other person was also used up.

He broke the bride's grip on his hand, and shortly afterward, the girl regained consciousness.

Even so, the other person's eyes were still filled with fear, and upon seeing Chu Mo and the other person, they screamed.

"Stop shouting. Instead of wasting your time, explain things to us clearly."

Chu Mo looked at the other person with a slightly cold expression.

Not long after, the attack occurred. One can only imagine what happened to all those people who had received invitations on the street.

Chen Ke calmed down after realizing it was Chu Mo and the other person.

She pointed to the streetlight ahead and said in a trembling voice, "Just now, an old woman was under the streetlight. She took Xiaoyue away, and I think I was taken away too. We were walking on a street full of people, and they were all carrying red invitations. It seemed like they were going somewhere, but I don't know what happened, some paper figures ran out and took me out of the group. Then I woke up."

o

Chen Ke quickly recounted her experience.

After getting to know each other, the two also learned each other's names.

However, Chu Mo frowned and said, "So when I asked you about the invitation before, were you genuinely unaware or pretending not to know?"

"I...I really didn't know about the invitation..."

'

This makes the situation quite strange.

If only those who receive invitations are attacked by ghosts, then why was this girl attacked without her knowledge?

"Think carefully, have you received anything strange these past few days?"

Chen Ke thought for a moment and actually remembered something.

"Xiaoyue and I came from out of town. I remember before we came here, we passed by a crematorium and saw a woman scattering money there. A few bills floated onto us. Xiaoyue thought they were real money, so she took them and looked at them for a while. But they were just paper money for the dead. We haven't encountered any other strange things."

"The woman who throws money at the crematorium?"

Yan Li dragged his chin, unable to think of any connection between the two.

Chu Mo was also a bit overwhelmed. Based on what he saw at first glance, so many people had received invitations, so it must have been at least a Class B incident.

If this thing were even more terrifying and had a stronger tendency to spread, it could very well escalate into an A-level or even S-level event.

A supernatural event of a certain magnitude.

After all, there have already been some victims.

"Take this yellow paper. If you encounter a similar situation again, do the same thing: drip your blood on it."

Chu Mo did not stay there any longer. This girl did not know much and was just a victim. Finding the source would probably not be easy.

Unless you make yourself a target of the invitation.

In retrospect, this thing will take the person who receives the invitation to a certain place.

Just as the two were about to leave, Chen Ke cautiously reached out and grabbed Chu Mo's arm.

The moment she touched it, the icy coldness made her recoil as if she'd been electrocuted.

She whispered, "Can you help Xiaoyue? She's a victim too."

"Based on this timeline, your friend is most likely already dead, so there's no need to try to save him."

Chu Mo's tone was cold, indicating that he had no intention of helping.

When she found the other person, the girl named Xiaoyue was standing next to her, looking like a dead person, completely unconscious.

In this situation, even if the bride's supernatural influence were to be overcome, it would be too late.

When ordinary people are affected by the invitations, the mortality rate is almost 100%.

If it weren't for her own yellow paper protecting Chen Ke, she would have been trapped inside long after being drawn into consciousness by the invitation.

Before Chen Ke could speak again, Chu Mo left with Yan Li.

They arrived at the crematorium the other party had mentioned, but found nothing unusual.

This shows that the problem isn't here, but rather with the woman who threw the money around.

"Let's go. This isn't that simple. It will probably take a lot of time to find the source."

Chu Mo took a deep breath, showing no intention of continuing the investigation.

However, Yan Li seemed to have made a connection to something, and he guessed, "Brother Chu, do you think this might be a mess left behind by those guys from the Zhongzhou Club?"

"You mean this matter is related to that group of people?"

"I'm not sure, but I feel it's possible."

Chu Mo thought about it for a moment, but then rejected the other party's guess.

"It's unlikely. I've imprisoned the ghosts inside the club members, so there's no possibility of a paranormal event. Besides, there's no record of invitations among the unresolved paranormal incidents in this city. This must be a newly added paranormal event."

Chu Mo said, "However, you did remind me of something. After the Zhongzhou Club was destroyed, some potential investors and shareholders still remain in the city. If we want to expand our influence, we will need the funds in their hands."

"When I was searching, I found a personnel file for the club. I'll leave that to you for now. I need to go back to Dachang City in the next few days."

As Chu Mo spoke, Gui Yu had already returned to the villa with Yan Li.

He handed the other party a file of the Zhongzhou Club, which not only recorded the club's members, but also all the shareholders who had invested in the joint venture.

After doing all that, Chu Mo quickly disposed of the stillborn baby and the coffin, and then lay down on the bed.

After emerging from the ghost coffin, he indeed didn't get much rest.

So he lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

When Yan Li woke up the next day, he had already left early, while Yan Li had taken stock of some unused ghosts and sold them to a money exchange.

This included eight ghosts belonging to club members, as well as two dead infants brought back yesterday.

I received a total of ten yuan in ghost money.

On the way back, they ran into Yan Li, but the man looked unpleasant and was carrying a gold woven bag.

"What, did you encounter a paranormal event?"

His stern figure paused, but he did not deny it.

He nodded and said, "I went to the Zhongzhou Club this morning and found the body of the head of the headquarters nearby. He must have died recently, and the ghost inside him has already escaped."

Yan Li opened the woven bag, and inside was Ma Qian's corpse.

"The body of the person in charge?"

Chu Mo squinted. The other person was wearing a suit, not a criminal police uniform, but had a satellite positioning phone on his waist, and the phone seemed to be connected.

"I suspect that the ghostly invitation last night was most likely the result of this person's death and the resurrection of his vengeful spirit."

With a stern and stern face, he realized that the headquarters was actually doing more harm than good to Zhongzhou City.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, if headquarters keeps sending people to Zhongzhou, I will have a lot of headaches."

Chu Mo decided to occupy the Central State and separate it from the headquarters' jurisdiction.

When the training meeting begins, he will personally go to headquarters.

After resealing the body, Chu Mo took out the severed finger and returned to the talisman shop, taking all the S-grade yellow papers from the red shelf with him.

The purpose of this intrusion into headquarters was not to sit down and negotiate with the senior executives, but to issue a notification.

The necessary measures need to be prepared, after all, in addition to the pre-selected team leaders, there is also Old Qin at headquarters to maintain appearances.

This old relic is a ruthless person who can sail away a ghost ship. If we don't prepare some tricks, things might get really messy later.
