Chapter 227: Trampling and Humility

Facing this problem from their leader, Zhou Wenshan simply smiled and said, "What’s wrong? Isn’t it enough?"

I am a Ghost Master who has chosen the path of ‘hypnosis,’ so it seems that I am stronger than you expected, but this comes at a cost.

"Every once in a while, I have to go back to headquarters and have the ghost inside me hypnotized to prevent it from overly reviving and taking my life."

"Unless I never use its power, I always have to rely on Research Institute No. 21."

"In this way, I am bound to the research institute for life and cannot quit."

Of course, if I can find another organization with the ability to hypnotize ghosts, I can choose to leave the research institute and join them.

"But those organizations are often less reliable than the research institute. At least the controllers at the research institute have some limits."

Chu Jiang nodded thoughtfully. Among the many Ghost Masters he had encountered before, there were probably some who chose this path as well. They just didn’t directly say it like Zhou Wenshan did; it was their own important secret.

At the same time, this road was also a road that Chu Jiang abandoned in the beginning.

"Even so, the ghost inside you is still very special. I am surprised that you are just a small psychologist."

Zhou Wenshan stood up and said, "Being too noticeable is not a good thing, just like you are now."

"I just want to be a lazy worker and don’t want to work hard for the research institute."

"I went all out this time because we had a relationship before. Remember, you cannot owe me any wages in the future."

Chu Jiang nodded and said, "You can rest assured, I will never owe you."

……

When Duan Mingen woke up, it was already several hours later.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a strong headache, as if his head was about to split open.

But he touched his head and found nothing wrong, as if he had just had a bad dream and sweated a lot.

With some difficulty, Duan Mingen turned over and sat up, looking around to find that Miss Zhou was no longer there, only Chu Jiang sitting quietly by the bed, waiting for him to wake up.

"No, I’m sorry, Captain Chu, how long have I been sleeping?" Duan Mingen wanted to get up from bed.

Chu Jiang just waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to get up.

"The results are out, I have something interesting to show you." Chu Jiang handed the prepared tablet computer to Duan Mingen.

Duan Mingen’s heart skipped a beat, something interesting? But he didn’t lie…

Eagerly taking the tablet and turning on the screen, Duan Mingen realized it was a video and immediately started watching it seriously.

The video wasn’t long, just over a minute, but the more he watched, the tighter Duan Mingen clenched his fist, and in the end, he even bit his lip until it bled.

Because of the narrator’s voice, he didn’t have to specifically identify the white-haired man’s lip movements to easily understand what had happened.

He sat on a chair like a clown, numbly following the orders of a stranger.

What’s even scarier, or rather sadder, is that he didn’t realize anything. It was only after watching this video that Duan Mingen began to vaguely recall that there might have been something like this.

Chu Jiang ignored Duan Mingen’s emotions and calmly asked, "Do you know this man with white hair? Or have you heard of any Ghost Masters with similar features?"

Duan Mingen shook his head slightly and answered hoarsely, "No, but I guess he must be from Sincerity Company. Others wouldn’t be able to approach me so easily without raising my suspicion."

"Okay, I plan to release this video online. Do you have any objections?"

At first, Duan Mingen didn’t understand why Chu Jiang would do such a thing.

But after a moment of thought, he realized that this was both a demonstration of power and a warning.

So Duan Mingen nodded and said, "It’s up to you, I have no objections."

After saying that, he looked up at Chu Jiang and asked, "What do you plan to do with me?"

Chu Jiang stood up and said, "The original plan remains unchanged. You will stay here for now. Starting tomorrow, I will conduct experiments on you."

Seeing the other person about to leave, Duan Mingen struggled to get up, but because he was severely injured during the day, he fell to the ground by accident when he woke up this evening with a dizzy and heavy head.

Despite the pain from his entire body, Duan Mingen didn’t even whimper. He just gritted his teeth and crawled towards Chu Jiang, saying, "Captain Chu, please give me a chance. I refuse to accept this!"

Although Chu Jiang stopped walking, he still kept his back turned and didn’t turn around. He asked, "Refuse to accept what?"

"I refuse to accept being used by Sincerity Company, being manipulated in my life, and having my dignity trampled on!"

"I want to take revenge on those jerks. I want to eradicate them all!"

Duan Mingen’s tone was becoming somewhat frantic, and in the end, it even had a hint of choking.

He used to be so confident, so unbeatable. He believed he would be outstanding among others, but in reality, he was crushed and brought down to the dust.

Duan Mingen only had a few months left to live. He didn’t want to die being haunted by regrets. He swore that he would make those people regret.

Faced with this hopeless plea, Chu Jiang simply smiled quietly and said, "Opportunities are not given by others, but by your own efforts."

"Let’s leave it at that for now. Once you survive under my watch, then we can talk. Only by staying alive can you have everything…"

After saying that, Chu Jiang walked straight out the door without looking back.

Watching the other person leave, Duan Mingen took a deep breath. There was still hope. Chu Jiang’s words implied that he was willing to give a chance. He must stay alive, for only by staying alive can he have a future…

In the early hours of this day, both domestic paranormal forums and several large international paranormal communication websites unexpectedly shared a new video.

This video was short and was titled "Mime."

When people clicked on it, they discovered that it truly was just a mime performance. The background was black and white, there was no dialogue, no subtitles, only a white-haired man seemingly conveying certain instructions to another man.

However, the receiver’s state seemed abnormal. He was like a puppet being controlled, with a stiff and numb expression…

Initially, the post quickly sank down as not many people were interested in taking the time to read lips.

But soon, as the first group of people discovered that the video was related to "Blood Hand Chu Jiang" and the content was quite sensational, the popularity of a few original posts suddenly surged.

Specifically speaking, it seems that someone wanted to send an undercover agent to Chu Jiang’s side, using rather crude methods, seemingly using supernatural powers to plant psychological suggestions on the undercover agent.

But that’s not the key. The key is that this process was actually recreated by someone using a different method, and recorded and spread online.

So, who could have recorded this silent film? And who are the two men in the play?

"Enthusiastic" netizens quickly started exploring on their own…
