Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Third generation (6K)

The next day.

J City.

All the temporarily appointed officials arrived at headquarters on this day.

At this moment, the training base at headquarters was already crowded with people, security forces, patrol vehicles, and instructors and ghost tamers specifically responsible for training.

Yang Jian was sitting in a classroom at this moment, listening to a lecture with many ghost tamers.

The course uses a metaphor combining modern ghosts with tales of the strange and supernatural from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, even elevating it to a scientific level.

Many people didn't take it seriously, treating it as just another session of psychological counseling.

No one complained about it during that time.

Because after this lecture, the designated captain will attend and share some paranormal experiences with them.

Wang Chaling from Dadong City was invited to be a lecturer for this event.

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. Now, let Captain Wang give you some academic insights."

After Professor Bai finished speaking the last paragraph, he quickly stepped down from the stage, concluding his task for the day.

Not long after.

A handsome young man dressed in a casual suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up.

This man had a gentle demeanor, handsome features, and exuded a scholarly air. He always had a smile on his face.

"An ordinary person? Yang Jian, can you sense the supernatural aura emanating from that guy?"

The ghost tamer named Zhang Lei standing to the side looked strange; he even felt that there was something wrong with his perception.

After all, how could an ordinary person possibly become the head of headquarters as the designated team leader?

Yang Jian also squinted, his ghost eyes involuntarily opening from his forehead, but he didn't notice the slightest supernatural sign on the person on the stage.

"It's strange, he really doesn't have any supernatural aura, he's just like an ordinary person."

Not only Yang Jian and Zhang Lei thought so, but everyone in the audience thought that there was a problem with the headquarters' selection of personnel.

Even if the other party is the captain, what kind of supernatural events can an ordinary person solve? It would be good enough if they didn't get killed by a vengeful ghost.

"Are you guys messing with me? I tolerated the professor who came up and spouted some weird and absurd theories before, but after waiting this long, you're sending an ordinary person as a team leader to give us Ghost Tamers a lecture on professional knowledge?"

Someone couldn't control their emotions and stood up, expressing their dissatisfaction.

However, Wang Chaling just smiled.

"I am indeed an ordinary person, but if you can ensure that a city lives in an environment free of paranormal events for the next few years, of course you don't have to listen. I won't force you."

"What?! A city hasn't had a single paranormal event for two years? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing this, many ghost tamers began to question the captain named Wang Chaling.

"Tch, anyone can brag. I could say I could handle the Huanggang Village incident."

The ghost tamer made a move to get up and walk towards the door, indicating he didn't intend to listen any longer.

Wang Chaling didn't stop him; he simply broke a piece of chalk in half and casually wrote a line of text on the blackboard.

Where do ghosts come from?

The ghost tamer who reached the doorway saw this scene and felt insulted.

How dare this ordinary person be so arrogant?

So he decided to teach the other party a lesson.

A nauseating stench emanated from his highly decayed right hand, and with a mere grasp, his palm seemed to rest on Wang Chaling's shoulder.

"Tch, not a single bit of precaution. Is this guy even fit to be captain? I think I could do that job myself."

A smug look appeared on the face of the ghost tamer.

Everyone present watched the scene unfold, but none of them intended to make a move.

They seemed to want to know why headquarters had recruited this ordinary person as a team leader.

Available in the next second.

Before anyone could react, the ghost tamer who had launched the sneak attack was flung away by something and slammed heavily against the wall.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Lei didn't react in time; he had only seen something that looked like a human figure flash by.

"It's a ghost!"

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment, a ghost eye had opened on his forehead.

Under the ghost's gaze, he saw a colorless, expressionless, and numb middle-aged man.

The man looked seven or eight parts similar to Wang Chaling, but he was clearly not a living person.

This ghost bears a slight resemblance to the old man in the copper coin robe that I saw on Chu Mo before.

Because neither of them has any color.

"I knew it. Being selected by headquarters as the designated captain couldn't possibly be just because the other party is an ordinary person."

Wang Jiang, on the other side, also spoke up.

As for the ghost tamer who had been slammed against the wall, he clutched his stomach and staggered to his feet.

"You can leave now."

Wang Chaling still wore a smile, his tone calm.

Not even a speck of dust touched his shoulders.

At this moment, Chu Mo was observing the situation through a mirror in the classroom.

This is a use derived from the supernatural properties of ghost mirrors.

In addition to his ability to cross mirrors and invade reality, he can also observe the outside world by connecting to any mirror he wants.

In a real mirror, Chu Mo's image wouldn't even appear.

It's the same principle as when a ghost mirror saves an image and then can no longer reflect the scene.

"Is this the power of three generations of the Wang family? That ghost just now must have been Wang Chaling's father, Wang Lu."

Chu Mo raised an eyebrow. Based on his direct observation, the ghost wasn't particularly terrifying.

Wang Chaling's real backup plan was probably his grandparents.

"By cursing the first and second generations of the Wang family to become vengeful ghosts after their deaths, and letting them live on in the Wang family's descendants, it has to be said that if they continue to multiply for hundreds of generations, it will only be a matter of time before the end of the supernatural."

Chu Mo had originally hoped that the other party would use the abilities of the first generation of the Wang family, so that he could make a general judgment about them.

Pity.

If the first generation were to make a move, the provocative ghost tamer would most likely be resurrected on the spot.

Chu Mo did not plan to go to headquarters now, but waited for the captain's meeting to begin.

Let's continue looking at the screen.

Wang Chaling said, "I think most of the people here don't know where ghosts come from, or how those sudden supernatural events occur."

"It's actually very simple."

Wang Chaling continued writing four more characters: 【A place of the supernatural.】

"That's right. Ghosts invaded reality from this place, which led to the frequent paranormal events we see today. In fact, besides imprisoning them, if you can find the corresponding connection point and send them back to the paranormal place, you can also imprison them."

"Of course, that's still a long way off for you right now."

Unlike Professor Bai, Wang Chaling's lectures were full of practical information, which was very helpful for newcomers to the paranormal world.

But Chu Mo lost interest in it.

He shifted his gaze to the other mirror image on the side.

The scene inside is also set at headquarters, but not at the training base; it's in the conference room building.

At this moment, the conference room was filled with some high-ranking officials from headquarters, as well as several captains who were pre-selected in the captain's plan.

The man sitting in the center seat was around thirty years old.

The nameplate on the other party reads "Wang Guoqiang".

She is the new vice minister who replaced Cao Yanhua.

"Didn't Shen Lin come?"

Wang Guoqiang looked at the empty seat next to him, where the nameplate clearly read "Shen Lin".

"I don't know, maybe the issues in Daxia City haven't been resolved yet."

A man in a suit, around thirty years old, who looked like an office worker, spoke up.

His face was stiff and expressionless, as if it weren't a face at all, but rather carved from wood, extremely rigid.

In front of this person, a nameplate reads the three characters "Lu Zhiwen".

The other party was also the head of headquarters' designated captain, but he wasn't in charge of handling paranormal events on the front lines; he was more focused on intelligence gathering.

"If he's not coming, then we won't wait for him. The captain has a lot on his plate, so it's normal that he doesn't have time to participate."

A young woman named Yinzi, dressed in a police uniform, also spoke up.

She is the head of Ohara City. Due to her seniority and long-term handling of various paranormal events, she looks rather haggard and has a rather cold voice.

Apart from that, only Wang Chaling, one of the team leaders who arrived this time, has not yet arrived.

Since the other party was invited to give a lecture at the training base, he did not need to attend this impromptu meeting.

Following them were some senior executives from headquarters, as well as experts in the field of scientific research.

"Alright, this impromptu meeting isn't the priority; I just wanted to hear everyone's opinions."

Wang Guoqiang coughed, but did not pursue the matter of Shen Lin's absence. Instead, he prepared to begin the discussion of the meeting.

However, just as they mentioned Shen Lin...

suddenly.

A memory that didn't belong to them suddenly surfaced in their minds.

In my memory, they seemed to have gathered here long ago, sitting around a round table, discussing the candidates for the headquarters captain plan.

But in my memory, this room wasn't this crowded or cramped. They gathered here to chat and talk, just like they do today.

The only difference was that there was one more person at the gathering I remembered.

The man named Shen Lin, as far as I can remember, was sitting in the conference room.

Everyone present experienced the same memory.

Strange things are happening.

Reality and memory overlap.

The chair that originally held Shen Lin's nameplate now had a young man dressed casually, looking quite relaxed.

The young man greeted everyone, "Sorry I'm late."

At that moment, overlapping with the images in everyone's memories, this person appeared abruptly.

Upon seeing this, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

Although these team leaders were pre-selected, they didn't interact much with each other, and only they themselves knew about their abilities.

Therefore, the fact that it was manifested in this way caught everyone off guard.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin the meeting."

Wang Guoqiang said, "Except for Zhang Jun and Wang Chaling, all the designated team leaders have arrived, so I'll speak frankly."

"The first thing to discuss at this meeting is the death of Ma Qian, the person in charge of Zhongzhou City. As you all know, the city has become a no-man's land because of the conflict between Chu Mo and headquarters."

"And Ma Qian, the newly appointed head of Zhongzhou City, died in the city that very day."

"In the long run, this is not a good thing. After all, paranormal events are constantly occurring. If they are not addressed in the long term, they will lead to..."

The harm caused by the paranormal events that have occurred is unimaginable.

"After all, the conflict between Chu Mo and headquarters is still escalating. I am worried that if he stays in Zhongzhou and does not deal with the supernatural events, it will cause irreversible damage."

"Therefore, the problem is now obvious: ordinary officials are no longer able to manage the situation, so we need someone who can keep Chu Mo in check to take over Zhongzhou."

"I hope that one of you here can take over the city of Zhongzhou. After the Captain's plan is completed, you can control all the authority and gold quota of the city."

Wang Guoqiang's attitude was not particularly forceful; he seemed more inclined to discuss the matter with the others.

"Vice Minister Wang, I'd like to know whether Ma Qian's death was caused by human intervention or a supernatural event?"

The captain, nicknamed Silver, was the first to ask.

She had heard about Chu Mo, the most popular newcomer in the paranormal circle recently, who seemed to have some conflicts with headquarters.

"According to the operator's feedback, Ma Qian should have died from a paranormal event, but the location shown by the satellite phone is in another place, and it has not moved for a long time."

"We traced the exact location to the new town of Taiping Ancient Town. The owner had already rented it out, and the renter was Chu Mo."

"Therefore, we are not sure whether Ma Qian's death was caused by him."

Upon hearing this, the other senior executives nodded.

"If that's the case, I think it's necessary to conduct a full investigation into Chu Mo. After all, this person killed several leaders back then and even attacked us during the Huanggang Village incident. Such a person is a threat if left in Zhongzhou. If we can get rid of him, then naturally none of these things will happen."

At this moment, a solemn old man spoke up. He was not a ghost tamer, but a combat leader who was involved in the meeting.

After he finished speaking, none of the other senior executives present intended to refute him.

Wang Guoqiang shook his head at this moment, "Actually, I have been paying attention to the conflict between headquarters and Chu Mo."

"But the reality may not be what we think, which is why I did not rush to launch a full-scale investigation into Chu Mo after Vice Minister Cao's death."

Wang Guoqiang said, "If you know anything about this, you will know that Chu Mo was initially willing to cooperate with the headquarters. During the cooperation, he even handled a supernatural case that was on record in Zhongzhou."

"The other party did not show any hostility at that time. At least in my opinion, the source of all this can be traced back to Zhao Kaiming, the newly appointed person in charge of Dachang City."

In preparation for this meeting, Wang Guoqiang privately investigated many files related to Chu Mo.

"I can tentatively interpret the fact that the person in charge committed murder in another city as law enforcement, but without any basis or consultation, it has violated the regulations governing the management of city officials. Strictly speaking, the conflict between Chu Mo and Zhao Kaiming is a normal private dispute and cannot be escalated to the level of headquarters."

"Moreover, even earlier, Cheng Hao, the person in charge of Zhongzhou City, also had very obvious problems with his background. This is information that Chu Mo had already reported, but because of the decision made by the higher-ups at headquarters at the time, not only was it not accepted, but an arrest warrant was issued for him. This is the main contradiction between us and the other party."

An elderly man standing nearby couldn't take it anymore. "So, Vice Minister Wang, you mean you want headquarters to make concessions like a high school student?"

He felt insulted.

"Even if, as you say, Chu Mo's initial stance was beneficial to headquarters, it's a fact that he killed the person in charge. You must understand that at least five people in charge at headquarters have already died at his hands. If we back down, who will compensate for their sacrifices?"

"Old Li, calm down first. I just want everyone to understand the whole story. After all, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. With the increasing number of paranormal events, we need to look at this matter from a broader perspective, rather than just caring about the reputation of headquarters."

Wang Guoqiang did show a tough stance on this matter.

He felt that the headquarters' previous system was too rigid, and even the thinking of the senior management had become stagnant.

In many things, they follow rigid rules without knowing how to be flexible.

After all, if the person in charge has such great authority that they can kill people at will and not be held accountable, wouldn't they be no different from the ghost tamers in the folk clubs?

If things continue to develop in this way, the headquarters' original intention will inevitably be distorted sooner or later, and at that time, the headquarters will be nothing more than a larger private force.

"Hmph, what a joke. The reason headquarters has gotten to where it is now is simply because of its authority and deep-rooted resources, isn't it?"

Old Li said, "Chu Mo killed the person in charge, so he should be wanted and punished, not have his name cleared. Do you really think you can win him over to headquarters?"

Wang Guoqiang sighed, "My words only represent my personal opinion. Chu Mo can be controlled, but there is no need to eliminate him. Supernatural events are increasing day by day, and there are too few capable ghost controllers. For the sake of the overall situation, I think if the other party is willing to deal with supernatural events, we can try to let him make amends for his mistakes."

"Of course, these are the different opinions of Lao Li and me. Everyone is welcome to offer suggestions, opinions on Chu Mo and Zhongzhou, or solutions."

He felt that it was necessary to hear other people's opinions on this matter.

Blindly following regulations can easily lead you down a narrow path.

"Has there been any recent updates to the file on Chu Mo?"

Shen Lin spoke up at this point, but only inquired about the other party's basic information without making his stance clear.

Wang Guoqiang said, "In the latest recorded documents, the other party seems to have mastered the abilities of the source ghost of Huanggang Village and also possesses the ghost domain."

"He's managed to control the supernatural phenomena of Huanggang Village? This newcomer is certainly quite capable."

Shen Lin glanced thoughtfully at a mirror placed by a senior executive in the conference room.

It was as if it were admiring its own appearance, or perhaps observing something.

But his face remained expressionless.

"Did you notice me?"

On the other side, Chu Mo raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Lin across the mirror.

But Shen Lin quickly looked away, so Chu Mo wasn't sure if the other person had noticed him.

Not long after.

Inside the meeting room.

A stiff voice came from behind him. Lu Zhiwen opened his mouth and calmly said, "Chu Mo, from Meishan Village, Dachang City, born in 2003, still alive. His father, Chu Zhi'en, is from Meishan Village, and his mother, Song Miaoqing, is from Baishui Town... Both are ordinary people."

To the farmers.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked at the other person.

This file only records the most basic information and does not provide any actual help.

Just as someone was about to say that, Lu Zhiwen's voice rang out again.

This time, even his numb face showed a hint of disbelief.

He said, "Chu Mo, from Hongdu, Meicun, was born in 38 and is still alive. His parents are both deceased, and he was taken in as a Taoist disciple by a Taoist temple."

That wasn't all. He continued, "Chu Mo, from Hongdu, Meicun, was born at the beginning of Puyi's reign. He is still alive today. Both his parents died, and he was adopted by the owner of a money exchange in Shanghai."

moment.

The meeting room was completely silent.

Three generations, the same person—this is utterly unbelievable.

"That's impossible. How could Chu Mo be someone from the Republican era or even the Puyi era? Lu Zhiwen, you must have made a mistake in your investigation. It's inevitable that there will be duplicate names in the old archives."

One of the senior executives thought it was utterly absurd.

Wang Xiaoming, who had been observing from the sidelines, remained silent. He sat in his seat, seemingly pondering the credibility of the files Lu Zhiwen had mentioned.

However, Lu Zhiwen was unusually certain: "My supernatural abilities are infallible. Chu Mo from all three eras is the same person, or rather, the current Chu Mo is his third incarnation."

He took a deep breath. He had never made a mistake with his supernatural abilities, and he knew perfectly well about the background of Elder Qin from headquarters.

"A reincarnated person? If that's the case, it does explain why a newcomer could be so knowledgeable about the supernatural."

Yinzi's expression was quite solemn. "Moreover, the other party is even older than Elder Qin. If that's the case, there might be many methods that the other party doesn't know about."

"In that case, I actually think Vice Minister Wang's plan is feasible."

"You know, our era has been separated from the Republic of China era by nearly 70 years in terms of information about the paranormal. If the other party is really from that era, I think it is necessary to investigate them."

"We know too little about the Republic of China era, or even the era of Puyi. If we can learn something from them, it will be of great help to us."

Shen Lin nodded. "You can decide this matter. My own city, Daxia, is already a headache enough. I wouldn't be able to handle everything in multiple Zhongzhou as well."

He showed no intention of participating, nor did he offer any specific advice.

As for Lao Li, who had previously expressed his opposition, he fell silent.

It seems that ever since Chu Mo's background was fully revealed, this meeting, which was aimed at the other side, has taken on a different meaning.

"I think Lu Zhiwen is right. When Chu Mo cooperated with us, he asked for a sum of money that was considered 'ghost money'."

"If this corresponds to his identity during the Puyi era, perhaps this kind of supernatural money has some use that we have not yet discovered."

Wang Xiaoming spoke up at this point.

"Moreover, it's not just ghost money. Yang Jian, a new ghost tamer in Dachang City, has already mastered a second ghost without using my method. I think this is probably related to the other party."

"A person who is suspected of possessing supernatural abilities is extremely valuable in today's information-scarce world."
