Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 118 About the Origin of Stone Town
Bai Hongtao's office was filled with smoke.

After talking with Jin Chao, the two reached a consensus.

The source of Zhuye Stone Town is most likely in the underworld!

But this is just the most superficial conclusion.

Zhuye Shizhen came from the underworld, and this was not something that was unacceptable.

But what is hidden behind this makes them feel incredible.

If the function of Zhuye Stone Town is to summon the chickens in the underworld to the world of the living, then it means that there are a lot of chickens in the underworld!

But what kind of place is the underworld?
The place is filled with negative energy and traces of ghosts can be seen everywhere.

Wandering souls will not exist in the underworld for more than a week, after which most of them will turn into evil spirits.

Evil ghosts are just the lowest kind of ghosts in the underworld.

The density of evil spirits is about the same as the probability of encountering a person with a deposit of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan in the world of the living.

Not to mention the bloody disasters that occur in almost every special area in the underworld.

In a place like that, there are chickens like the ones in Zhuye Stone Town?
How do they survive without being attacked by ghosts in the underworld?

Could it be that the number of these chickens in the underworld is so large that even the ghosts in the underworld cannot exterminate them?

The Public Opinion Bureau’s exploration of the underworld has been ongoing.

If this is true, why has the polling bureau never discovered it?
But if it is not the advantage of numbers, but only relying on strength, does it mean that there are also blood disasters or even more powerful beings in the group of these chickens who are protecting their tribe?
These are the doubts that trouble Bai Hongtao and the other two.

But Bai Hongtao also thinks these are discoveries of great significance.

If these chickens can really be found in the underworld, whether it is introducing them into the world of the living or using those chickens to establish a human base in the underworld, it will be a milestone event.

Some people have already introduced it into the world of the living, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing at the moment.

As for establishing a human base in the underworld, this will probably become an important direction for the Public Opinion Research Bureau to study the underworld.

After all, up to now, the Poll Bureau has not found a stable way to gain a foothold in the underworld. If they can find those chickens, and those chickens are not hostile to humans, then the Poll Bureau's research on the underworld and ghosts will take a big step forward!

Therefore, the appearance of chickens in this "Church of the Holy Infant" incident is definitely a big event.

After figuring this out, Bai Hongtao's emotions, which had not fluctuated much for a long time due to the ghost in his body, began to waver.

Looking at Jin Chao, Bai Hongtao said, "The speculation about Zhuye Stone Town is limited to you and me. I will report this incident later, in your name and ours."

"If others want to ask about the incident related to Candle Night Stone Town, you don't have to respond."

Jin Chao nodded, then frowned and said, "But why can the chicken be summoned to the world of the living by that stone? What is the principle behind this? Is there any involvement of non-governmental organizations?"

It's no wonder Jin Chao thought too much. After all, there are people in civil organizations who can build "doors", so it's not impossible to have more "surprises".

As long as it's a surprise and not a shock, it's fine.

"It's impossible for the two of us to guess this matter alone. Let's wait and see the feedback from above."

After Bai Hongtao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

"That Fan Xiaosi, tell him to keep his mouth shut... Forget it, recruit him and keep him under your command. It just so happens that you are alone all the time, so it would be more convenient to find an assistant."

Jin Chao was stunned, but still nodded.

"can."

"Let's leave it at that for now. The higher-ups will definitely take this matter seriously in the future. Either someone from the General Administration will come over, or one of us will be called away. Be prepared."

"it is good!"

Jin Chao stood up and took a few steps when he was stopped by Bai Hongtao.

"and many more……"

"what happened?"

Jin Chao looked at Bai Hongtao who was frowning and asked puzzledly.

"Among the two people you reported yesterday, one was called Bai Yongnian, right?"

"Correct."

"I just received news that he is still in Zaoshi Town. If you are not busy, arrest him and lock him up for a few days. Otherwise, I am afraid he will not be quiet."

Jin Chao's face darkened, and he nodded and said, "I'll go there myself."

……

At Bai Yongnian's stone carving factory, he had just received a stone carving of a rooster and had asked the workers to secretly process it.

He didn't sleep last night.

After thinking about the matter of Zhuye Stone Town all night, he called his grandfather to ask about it.

He heard some things about the Poll Bureau from the old man.

The old man didn't know much about it. He only knew that it was a department that specialized in dealing with paranormal incidents among the people, but there was no public place to accept people's requests.

Bai Yongnian was not interested in these, he only asked whether the power was great.

The old man had no intuitive feeling, but he just said that if it involved supernatural events, his power would be greater than that of the police station.

Hearing this, Bai Yongnian felt relieved.

If that were the case, then he could take the risk.

If things really don't work out, just get some people with connections to invest and serve as your backer, and share some of the profits with them.

As long as he masters the production method of Zhuye Stone Town, this little profit is nothing!
Thinking of this, Bai Yongnian picked up a kitchen knife and prepared to deal with the chickens in the office.

But just as he raised the kitchen knife, he heard a bang.

The office's security door flew in.

Looking at the acquaintance who walked in from outside and then looking at the footprints on the security door, Bai Yongnian was stunned.

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, Jin Chao had already lifted Bai Yongnian up from the ground with a gloomy face.

"Didn't I tell you not to go after Seokjin again?"

Click!

Jin Chao crushed the unfinished stone town with one foot.

This action made Bai Yongnian's face turn pale, but he still pretended to remain calm.

"Let go of me! You are trespassing. Don't you want your job anymore?"

Bai Yongnian's words made Jin Chao laugh.

Letting go of his hand, Jin Chao took the phone from Bai Yongnian's desk and handed it to Bai Yongnian.

Bai Yongnian frowned.

"what are you doing?"

"Call the most awesome person you can think of, now!"

Hearing Jin Chao's last sharp shout, Bai Yongnian's heart skipped a beat.

When he reached out to take the phone, he always felt that the phone was a little heavy.

"If you don't fight, you won't have a chance."

Jin Chao said lightly.

Bai Yongnian looked at the broken stone town on the ground, gritted his teeth, and hit his grandfather.

He doesn't know any powerful people, but his old man does.

After the call, Bai Yongnian recounted his situation, emphasized Jin Chao's attitude, and then hung up the phone.

"Is the fight over?" Jin Chao said indifferently.

Bai Yongnian did not respond. He wanted to see what confidence a public official from a small department in Mubei City had!
The time that followed fell into silence.

It was not until five minutes later that Bai Yongnian's phone rang again.

It belongs to his grandfather.

A smile appeared on Bai Yongnian's lips.

It's so fast, so it must not be very troublesome.

"Hey……"

Before he could finish his words, he heard the old man's voice over there.

"You do what that person says now! Right now! Right now!"

Bai Yongnian's face froze at the old man's suppressed anger on the phone.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? I've only heard of people cheating their fathers, but never of people cheating their grandfathers! All eight companies under your grandfather's name received calls to suspend operations for rectification, and the reason is... that they affect the long-term stability of society. They asked me to contact the Public Opinion Survey Bureau for the specific reason!"

"If you can't teach me what to do, then do as I say!"

The call was disconnected.

But before Bai Yongnian could react, his father called again. After picking up the phone, he heard the same suppressed voice.

"What did you do?!"

"..."

Bai Yongnian hung up the phone and picked up another one.

"Mr. Bai Yongnian, the stone carving factory and jade factory under your name are now ordered to suspend operations for rectification because they affect the long-term stability of society. Please consult the local public opinion survey bureau for specific rectification methods."

"..."

The phone was hung up again, and another call came in.

Bai Yongnian didn't answer it because he could guess what it was about.

Looking at Jin Chao, who did nothing but kick a door open and crush a stone sculpture when he came from the opposite side, Bai Yongnian was furious but could do nothing.

His father's impotence and rage back then finally reappeared in him.

The son follows in his father's footsteps?
Bai Yongnian smiled bitterly.

"You win. From now on, I won't do it anymore."

Bai Yongnian said this dejectedly, but then he saw Jin Chao shaking his head.

"I've already said this last time, but you obviously didn't listen, so I don't want to say it again this time. Come back to the bureau with me and stay for a few days."

Having said that, Jin Chao turned and walked outside.

"I can go with you, but my father and grandfather's company..."

Jin Chao said without even turning his head: "When you figure it out in the bureau, their rectification will be over."

Bai Yongnian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Recalling what Jin Chao said to him at Ji Mo's house, Bai Yongnian sighed in his heart.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world.

However, this incident made him clearly realize the weight of the three words "Public Opinion Survey Bureau" and also made him realize how important Zhuye Shizhen was in the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

At least, his vision was correct.

……

Three days later.

Bai Yongnian was called out from the detention room of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

"you can go now."

A commissioner from the polling bureau said this and was about to leave.

"Wait, I want to see Jin Chao."

The commissioner glanced at Bai Yongnian.

"What's the matter?"

"It's very important. I forgot to tell you last time."

Bai Yongnian said solemnly.

The commissioner said wait and left.

Not long after, Jin Chao appeared.

"what's up."

Jin Chao was a little surprised when he saw Bai Yongnian, who had been detained for three days but looked somewhat energetic.

Is there anyone who still likes detention these days?

"I forgot one thing last time. I made two stone towns and I sent one out."

Jin Chao raised his eyebrows and brought Bai Yongnian into his office.

"Write down that person's information."

Bai Yongnian did as he was told. Jin Chao took it, glanced at it, and asked, "Did you forget anything else?"

"No more. I only made two... Well, I didn't make them. I asked the workers to do them. I didn't know they were useful at the time."

Jin Chao threw the notebook over again.

"Write down the worker's information as well."

After Bai Yongnian finished writing it, he promised that there would be no more this time.

Jin Chao waved his hand and let Bai Yongnian leave.

But Bai Yongnian did not move.

"Team Leader Jin, my jade factory and stone carving factory are closed."

"If you don't open it, what do you want to tell me?"

Jin Chao frowned.

"No, no, no..."

Bai Yongnian stared at Jin Chao closely.

"You said I'm not allowed to do stone carving. What if I plan to rent a hilltop to raise chickens and pheasant? Is this... okay?"

Jin Chao was stunned and looked at Bai Yongnian with strange eyes.

"If you want to raise one, then raise it. Ask the Environmental Protection Bureau or the Health Bureau about this matter, don't ask me. If there's nothing wrong, you can leave now."

Bai Yongnian stood up and strode out of Jin Chao's office.

After leaving the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, Bai Yongnian's depression caused by being locked up for a few days was swept away!

At the same time, Jin Chao arrived at the office of Director Bai Hongtao.

"Director, there's no need to assign a specialist to raise chickens. I have a suitable candidate."
