Chapter 208: A Sinister Plot?
While thinking, Expert Chen closed the door and walked outside. At the same time, he asked, "There is another level two seal, what do you want to choose?"
Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "How about that black box?"
This surprised Chen Yehua, "Are you sure? I advise you to consider carefully. You don’t really believe in the Ghost Mirror, do you? You know, like other ghosts, it has the instinct to kill."
Chu Jiang waved his hand, "If I truly believe in the Ghost Mirror, then I should prioritize exchanging it. I just think the other level two seals are too ordinary."
To be honest, with Ghost Diary in possession, Chu Jiang had access to various abilities as the number of sealed ghosts increased. His reliance on the seals, especially level two ones, wasn’t that significant.
So Chu Jiang might as well open a blind box. Of course, if he couldn’t open it, he could still use it to trick people…
"Fine, choose whatever you want. But you must keep this thing safe, don’t let ordinary people touch it randomly, and don’t leave it in the office."
"Understood."
If he really left it in the office, Chu Jiang felt that one day, his curious little accountant would take the box away. Curiosity can be deadly, after all.
On the way back, they naturally passed by the room where the Ghost Mirror was placed.
This time, Chu Jiang specifically stopped in front of the Ghost Mirror. He wanted to see if this thing could offer a bigger "price" to tempt him.
As a result, the Ghost Mirror remained silent. It was unclear whether it had given up or seen through Chu Jiang’s plan and didn’t want him to get something for nothing.
So, Chu Jiang turned around and walked away. He thought that when he completely mastered the power of Chu’s Jiang, perhaps he could exchange this thing to play with.
For now, let’s forget it. Who knows who will have the last laugh? Let’s not have this mirror and the Ghost Diary team up to trap him together.
……
Using the same method, they took the black box and returned to the elevator. as they watched the elevator doors slowly close, Chu Jiang suddenly saw something new…
The image appeared on the smooth surface of the elevator door, and this time it was not only blurry but also very distorted.
Chu Jiang could only vaguely see a baby in a swaddle being placed in front of a certain building…
As the elevator went up to the next floor, the picture immediately disappeared, just like the signal was interrupted.
However, Chu Jiang showed no change in expression, nor did he suggest going back or anything like that.
He strongly suspected that the Ghost Mirror could see into the viewer’s mind, and show some special pictures that targeted the viewer’s deepest desires.
Most of these pictures were fake, and even had a strong element of deception and manipulation. Only a small portion of them were real.
After all, if the Ghost Mirror didn’t show any value, it wouldn’t be able to tempt the viewer deeper. It would only cause the person who possessed it to permanently seal it away, preventing anyone from seeing it.
Just like Chu Jiang’s experience just now, the Ghost Mirror first realized his inner need for something to be sealed.
Then, just as Chu Jiang was about to leave, it also saw his deep-seated curiosity about his own origins.
These were all genuine changes in Chu Jiang’s state of mind. But if he really followed the pictures shown by the Ghost Mirror, he would be ninety-nine percent doomed.
……
Back on the tenth floor, Chu Jiang was in Expert Chen’s office. After obtaining the upgraded version of the Soul Guide Incense and the paper umbrella, he said goodbye to Expert Chen and asked Chen Yuting to take him to Expert Ning’s office.
Ning Miaowei’s office was also on this floor, so Chu Jiang and the others quickly arrived at their destination.
But before Chu Jiang could ring the doorbell, the heavy metal gate slid open on its own.
A voluptuous woman wearing a white lab coat emerged from the office.
This lady’s outfit was not much different from the other researchers at the institute. She wore a lab coat over a shirt, and a slightly crooked expert badge hung from her chest.
Ning Miaowei’s appearance was not stunningly beautiful, but she looked clean and vibrant. She had almond-shaped eyes, arched eyebrows that exuded a sense of intelligence, and her hair was simply tied in a ponytail, giving a stylish and confident impression.
Moreover, she had a wonderful figure, as the saying goes, "A landscape between the eyebrows and a mountain in the chest." Whether Expert Ning had mountains or not between her eyebrows, it was unknown, but she indeed had a deep valley in her chest.
"Welcome, welcome! Our great hero from the research institute has finally returned. I have been waiting for you for a long time," Ning Miaowei said, reaching out a hand.
Chu Jiang also shook her hand.
Before Chu Jiang could say anything, Ning Miaowei turned to Chen Yuting and said, "You should go back, the next steps might take a while, so you don’t have to wait here."
Chen Yuting hesitated for a moment and looked at Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang also felt a bit strange, "Won’t it take long? I’ve had medical check-ups before with Expert Chen."
"I have multiple projects here, so the process is longer," Expert Ning said with a smile.
"Never mind then, you can go back," Chu Jiang said to Chen Yuting. "It’s all within the research institute, there are signs and staff everywhere. No matter where I want to go, I won’t get lost on the fourteenth floor."
Chen Yuting agreed, "If Captain Chu needs anything, they can contact me by phone and I’ll come right away."
After saying that, she bid farewell and left.
Seeing Chen Yuting walk away, Expert Ning happily called Chu Jiang in and closed the door.
For some reason, Chu Jiang had a bad feeling…
The indoor layout on Ning Miaowei’s side is very similar to Expert Chen’s side, except that it is a female office, so occasionally you can see some "cute" items.
For example, on the desk, there is a tattered and poorly sewn cloth doll. To be honest, Chu Jiang even subconsciously feels that this thing is a bit scary.
After casually looking around, Chu Jiang asked, "Where is your bodyguard? Just like Expert Chen’s bodyguard, is he also a guy who goes unnoticed?"
"No, she’s not here, she went to help me with some tasks." Ning Miaowei replied while preparing the props needed for the examination.
"Well, you sure are relaxed. You should know that us Ghost Masters, any one of us can go crazy at any time."
Expert Ning smiled and said, "I might be more worried about others, but not so much about you. I’ve reviewed your profile, your mental state is very stable."
"Alright, follow me." Ning Miaowei held a pen and an electronic tablet, leading the way to the next lab.
Chu Jiang didn’t mind following. The other person is just an ordinary person, they can’t pose a threat to him, especially in a research institute.
Upon reaching a platform that measures height, body measurements, weight, and other data, Ning Miaowei said, "Step on it and take off your clothes."
Chu Jiang walked up to the platform and asked, "Shirt on or off?"
"Of course not, I’m not even embarrassed. Are you?"Ning Miaowei replied.
Okay, Chu Jiang didn’t mind, he wouldn’t be the one at a disadvantage anyway.
