Chapter 1248: The Informant's News, Top Priority (5k)_2

These can’t be verified for now, but the things summarized before have kind of become the turkey theory, and their credibility has started to plummet.

Wen Yan looked at his phone and saw the notice that Virtue City Funeral Home has temporarily closed.

Obviously, before confirmation, Virtue City Funeral House is probably going to find it hard to operate externally, the only likely thing to do is handle orders for the Scorching Sun Department.

Wen Yan thought for a bit and called Feng Yao.

“Busy?”

“Not busy, what’s up?”

“Glad you’re not busy, I’ve got some work for you, some ghosts I’m sending your way.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s those ghosts that attacked me before, the ones that have consciousness have been sent away, the remaining ones should all be unconscious.”

“Alright, just as long as you don’t send them to headquarters!”

Wen Yan looked at the sky, didn’t rush to leave, had a meal at home, played with his silly son for a while, and only went out when it was completely dark.

He took a detour through the Rakshasa Ghost Market heading to Yu State. As usual, the Rakshasa Ghost Market started to get lively in the evening.

At this point, the ghost selling head soup noodles has already set up his stall, the broth is ready, just waiting for customers to arrive.

Wen Yan has passed through here quite a few times, the people who’ve stayed here for a long time, even if they don’t know Wen Yan, they know of him as Lord Zhu’s friend.

Walking through the Rakshasa Ghost Market, seeing the various ghosts still living their lives, he felt a bit more at home, like visiting a market before, where people were selling all sorts of things, some selling food and drinks, back then a meat bun was one and a half yuan, and the lamb soup was two and a half yuan per bowl, never to be seen again.

Passing by the teahouse, it remains the liveliest place in the Rakshasa Ghost Market, there are always ghosts here chatting and boasting, sometimes someone gets joyful and will buy a round for everyone present, it’s become a trend.

When Wen Yan walked past, there weren’t too many people inside, it wasn’t the midnight peak yet, for ghosts, this time was equivalent to the morning market.

As he passed by, Mai Conggui, who was always squatting there, brightened up immediately when he saw Wen Yan, and promptly left the teahouse from another direction.

He knew, if Wen Yan is walking this way, he’ll likely be heading to Yu State, so he left first through the gate and waited outside.

During Wen Yan’s passage, he continued to greet the guards, exchanging a few pleasantries.

When he came out, he heard Mai Conggui cat-calling from a corner.

Upon seeing, that’s his informant Mai Conggui, this guy has given crucial intel several times, even without important info, Wen Yan would still pay him monthly, like an extra allowance, and when there’s intel, he’d get extra cash.

Wen Yan looked around and pointed to another corner.

“Boss, I’ve got some intel these days.”

“Tell me.”

“The day before yesterday, I heard about the Ghost Wealth God, wasn’t bothered then, as those guys were completely wiped out by the Scorching Sun Department.

But yesterday, I heard it again, along with talk of some temple, which seemed off to me.

Today, I specifically staked out a ghost, and I really did manage to find something.

The guy seemed to have been recruited, heard the benefits are decent, and he’s set to start work soon.

Until now, nobody really cared, anyone could see he was in good spirits.”

“Hmm? Are there many recruiting ghosts recently?” Wen Yan caught this piece of information first; being able to recruit at the Rakshasa Ghost Market showed it wasn’t particularly rare.

“Ever since Guanzhong County’s Scorching Sun Department started recruiting ghosts, many ghosts have been recruited afterward.

Someone started trying to recruit them for work, ghosts with special abilities heard quite a few have been recruited.

A ghost programmer, who was usually just drinking here daily, living day to day with no special ability, got recruited yesterday.

For once, the guy was generous and offered a feast.”

“Get to the point.”

“Originally, I wasn’t too bothered by such stuff, these days, not saying daily, but once every two days at least there’d be a lucky one.

But the ghost I heard about, I saw him today, he was in a bad mood.

He said he was already preparing to start working, ready to give his life.

Suddenly he was notified he didn’t need to go, the person who told him said the company shut down, the boss was gone too.

Of course, the prepaid salary for one month didn’t need to be returned, considered compensation for wasted effort.

The guy was discontented and spoke quite a bit more.

Said he was going to the northeast border to sell his life, borrowed quite some money, and now it’s gone just like that, felt like he was dismissed with just a month’s wage like a beggar.

He said he’s going to work another job, doing local push for Ghost Wealth God, otherwise can’t pay back the money.”

Wen Yan didn’t ask how Mai Conggui gathered this information, he simply asked.

“Do you know that guy’s name? Is he eligible to handle bank transactions?”

“Yes, he has a bank card. This guy previously caught onto the Guanzhong County policy, although not separately recruited, he did work once and got registered, so now he has a bank card, though it’s different from living people’s.”

Mai Conggui told Wen Yan a name and described the person’s appearance, height, attire, etc.

Wen Yan nodded, having a name and bank card makes it manageable.

From what Mai Conggui said, this ghost should be one of those recruited as extras among the large group of ghosts; this guy mixed into getting some benefits, registered identity, and even got a bank card of his own.
