A mission reward?
There were many theories about the Ghost Seal. One was that it was the jade seal of the Son of Heaven Yin of the Netherworld Kingdom, Great Emperor Dong Yue. It had the power to suppress the undead and ghosts.
The second was the jade seal of a certain emperor from thousands of years ago. Because it had been buried underground for too long, it had certain disastrous properties and was called the Ghost Seal.
There were many different opinions, but Chen Mu thought of the second theory. Nonsense.
Even if it was just for the Ghost Seal, he had to study the Beheading Case.
Chen Mu flipped open the file on the Beheading Case. Xu Maolin revealed a hint of joy. In recent years, there were finally people who were willing to take on this case.
" This case is very tricky," Xu Maolin explained." Since decades ago, many ghost hunters have been involved.”
"But no less than a hundred ghost hunters have died. If Master Chen is going to accept this case, you have to be mentally prepared!”
Chen Mu didn't say anything and started reading the file seriously.
On March 12, 1951, the first supernatural case occurred in Jiading City. Only the body was left at the scene.
From then on, beheading cases occurred frequently. As of March 12, 1952, there were 132 beheading cases.
Most of the victims were male, and the majority were female. The deceased were all criminals when they were alive.
By 1953, 155 people had their heads cut off. By 1954, 117 people had their heads cut off. By 1955, 201 people had their heads cut off…
After browsing through the first page, Chen Mu was secretly speechless!!
From 1951 to the present, in the past 70 years, there had been nearly 20,000 beheading cases in Jiading City alone. What kind of concept was this?
In the six hundred years that the Vermilion Spirit Fish had lived as a ghost, he had less than twenty thousand spirits.
The culprit of this decapitation case was not just an ordinary person.
Chen Mu flipped through it again. There were a few photos mixed in.
Xu Maolin explained," A few years ago, a few ghost hunters camped for three days and took this video. Unfortunately, they were also beheaded!"”
The person in the photo had no head. He was fat and muscular, and even though he had no head, he was nearly two meters tall.
The headless spirit held a metal chain in its left hand and a ghost-head saber in its right hand. Just its appearance alone was enough to make it look fierce.
Xu Maolin continued," According to the folk, the weapon that this undead possessed was a beheading knife used to behead criminals in ancient times.”
"From this, our experts from the Bureau of Spiritual Investigation deduced that this headless spirit was most likely an executioner when he was alive!”
"Master Chen, are you interested?"
" Interesting," Chen Mu said indifferently." Can I take this dossier with me?"”
"Of course!"
Just as Chen Mu was about to leave, Bureau Chief Xu's office was forcefully pushed open. The few people who had already left returned with abnormal expressions.
Xu Maolin suddenly stood up and said nervously,""The Ghost Pearl was stolen?"
One of them said with a long face," It wasn't stolen, but the Ghost Pearl is gone. We just got in the car and opened it to take a look just in case. The box was empty!"”
"We saw the Ghost Pearl put in with our own eyes. How did it disappear in the blink of an eye?”
" That's a Ghost Pearl that was obtained by sacrificing a lot of people," Xu Maolin said with a pained expression." How could it disappear without a trace?" Someone must have stolen it!"
"Chief, you're not suspecting us, are you?”
"This isn't the first time we've sent Ghost Orbs to the Research Institute. If we wanted to steal them, we would have done so long ago.”
At this time, Chen Mu stood up and said,"Director Xu, I won't disturb your internal work. I'll take my leave first."”
Xu Maolin smiled bitterly." Chen Mu, look. I wanted to send you off, but this happened. It's really annoying."”
"Understood, Bureau Chief Xu.”
As for what happened after that, Chen Mu had no idea.
Soon, Xu Maolin had mobilized hundreds of people from all over the place to search for the whereabouts of the Ghost Pearl with instruments that were specially used to detect the undead.
In the office, Xu Maolin looked at Chen Mu's information on the screen.
"Is he really not involved in the massacre of Bai Yang Village?" Even if it had nothing to do with him, it must have something to do with his netherworld marriage partner!”
After that, Xu Maolin made a call.
"Hello, Leader, I'm Xiao Xu!"
"I found a promising talent in Jiading City. Maybe we can recruit him. He's not too old, only in his twenties, and he's still a university student.”
"Alright, alright, alright, I won't interfere!”
………………
40 energy points. Adding on the energy points he had now, he had a total of 41 energy points!
Chen Mu returned to the old mansion as fast as he could. The secret manual of the Taoist priest's True Yang Five Thunder Technique was definitely a powerful skill.
Lu Yubing wasn't there, probably at her company.
On the other hand, the old monk was sitting under the eaves and reading a book with great interest. From time to time, he would even let out a daydreaming laugh, giving Chen Mu goosebumps.
"Old Daoist, what are you so engrossed in?”
The old Daoist chuckled without even raising his head.
The corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched. The old Daoist was also a bookworm!
"Ding! " Discovered secret manual " Soul Tampering Technique " requires 30 energy points to enhance. Do you want to enhance learning?"”
"Ding! " Found secret manual " True Yang Five Thunder Technique " requires 20 energy points to strengthen. Do you want to strengthen it?"”
"Ding! " You've discovered that the Taoist Golden Light Mantra requires 15 energy points to strengthen. Do you want to strengthen it?"”
"Ding! " Discovered secret manual " Scattered Beans into Soldiers " requires 10 energy points to enhance. Do you want to enhance learning?"”
"Ding…Props…"
" Ding…Prop…"
Soul Tampering Technique? Chen Mu was rather surprised and hesitated over which to choose.
However, the old Daoist suddenly laughed and said with relish,""I didn't expect this Soul Tampering Technique to be so powerful. Not only can it cultivate the soul, but it can also allow the soul to leave the body and travel through the void.”
Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
In other words, if he learned this soul refining technique, his ghost king level soul would be able to roam the void?
Chen Mu thought of something and suddenly became excited. Wouldn't his soul leave his body and become a legal couple with Zhu Lingyu?
This old Daoist was simply a lucky star!
