Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 103 Becoming a Ghost Rider (Making up for No. 13)
"The only thing that can deal with ghosts is ghosts. If you want to deal with this ghost, you must become a ghost tamer in the memory world."

Cao Yang walked into Peng Cheng's office carrying the body bag. As soon as the door opened, a chill hit him in the face, but Cao Yang didn't care and walked straight in.

"If memory ghosts and ghost dreams have similar mechanisms, then the three bodies I have imprisoned should be considered ghosts, or part of the source ghost, and can be controlled."

Cao Yang first opened the body bag containing a corpse. The body inside was already slightly rotten and gave off a faint stench.

"Dead, or not?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

A slightly decayed, cold and numb corpse was dragged out of the body bag by Cao Yang. There were four bullets in the corpse. It had all the properties of gold, but it was not real gold.

"I've long seen that you're not human."

When it comes to controlling evil ghosts, Cao Yang is not very experienced. The ghost that carries people on his back is controlled by the ghost peddler, the gravity ghost actively drills into his body, and only the ghost that steps on people is controlled by himself through balance.

“Where should I start?”

Being indecisive is exactly what Cao Yang is in now. All the conditions are in place, but Cao Yang has yet to take action.

But the ghost would not hesitate or waver. Without the restriction of "gold", the ghost that was originally "dead" by the shot became active again. It struggled to stand up and was about to rush towards Cao Yang.

"Those who were killed all had terrified expressions on their faces, which means that the ghosts in the memory world are no longer hiding. But even so, how can I control it?"

Cao Yang was a little anxious, but he kept telling himself to stay calm, not lose his mind, and understand the patterns of ghosts.

"The pattern of ghosts killing people is to recall the image of the ghost. So what will happen if I start to recall the image of this ghost now? Will another ghost appear, or will something special happen?"

Without hesitation, Cao Yang chose to try. If it was the first option, he could just fire a few more shots to restrict the ghost's movements. If it was the second option, he might be able to confuse the ghost's logic and take advantage of it to control it.

So, Cao Yang frantically recalled in his mind what happened when he imprisoned the ghost.

Unclear facial features, stiff figure, inexplicable familiarity, piercing coldness...

The change is happening, and Cao Yang's long-term vigilance as a ghost rider tells him that he has indeed triggered the law, so what's next...

The ghost stopped, as if there was something wrong with the action command. It stood there motionless, like a stuck machine, and its battered and rotten palm stopped only a few centimeters away from Cao Yang. If it stretched forward a little bit more, it would touch Cao Yang's body.

"Hoo~!"

Cao Yang heaved a sigh of relief, adjusted his posture and moved away from the ghost. Then he realized that his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. Although this was a world of memories, the tension and fear were real. Anyone would feel comfortable after escaping from death.

"Will it work?"

Cao Yang stared at the stuck body and moved cautiously towards the body bag. If the plan failed, he might have to hide in the body bag himself. After all, he had triggered the rule and the ghost would not give up attacking before killing himself. Cao Yang was now doing three things at once. On the one hand, he had to determine the state of the ghost, on the other hand, he had to deliberately recall the image of the ghost in his mind, and on the other hand, he had to move to the body bag. This high-intensity concentration was a great drain on him as an ordinary person.

"got it."

With the body bag in hand, Cao Yang switched from three things at once to two things at once. However, the distraction and concentration that just lasted for only a few minutes already made him feel tired. Despite this, he still did not dare to relax and recall the influence of the evil spirit.

An hour passed, Cao Yang was exhausted both physically and mentally and felt like he was going crazy. His mind was full of the image of the ghost. He could even see the ghost's appearance when he closed his eyes without even trying to recall it.

Finally, the stalemate changed. The stuck ghost seemed to have its bug fixed, but its action instructions seemed to have changed: a layer of shadow began to appear on the ghost's body, gradually covering the entire body like a film.

Seeing this scene, Cao Yang thought of Hu Mingtao's previous words: Beichen Building is covered by a layer of shadow. This sentence perfectly fits the scene at this time, and the evil spirit is also gradually covered by a layer of shadow.

However, there is a second half to Hu Mingtao's words: the entire building seems to be gradually being erased.

Now, this sentence has been confirmed. As the shadow gradually covered the ghost's body, the corresponding part also disappeared out of thin air as if it had been erased, because it appeared in Cao Yang's memory.

First the feet, then the legs, then the chest, the head...

Five minutes later, the image of the ghost in Cao Yang's memory was no longer vague, but became very clear. He was none other than the temporary assistant he had found before entering the Memory Building!

Now, this ghost has become a part of Cao Yang's memory, and Cao Yang has successfully become a ghost rider in his memory, and he has mastered some of the supernatural powers belonging to the source ghost.

"Only ghosts can deal with ghosts and understand the laws of ghosts."

"These two laws are applicable at all times and in all events. Especially the ability to understand the laws of ghosts. Not only can it save lives, it can also be of great help in controlling evil spirits."

After controlling the ghost, Cao Yang also had a preliminary understanding of the supernatural powers he controlled. He gave this ghost, including the source ghost, a code name: Memory Ghost. He controlled only a small part of the supernatural powers of the Memory Ghost, estimated to be less than 10%, which was too weak in terms of the degree of terror.

"No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. I have found a way to control ghosts. What I need to do next is to replicate this plan until I grow big enough to compete with real memory ghosts for control of the memory world and control a complete memory ghost. Only in this way can I truly get rid of and solve this incident."

Although he had made clear the next goal, Cao Yang did not take action immediately. Although the spirit he controlled was weak, it was of the same lineage as the complete memory ghost. If he could make reasonable use of this small part of the spirit, then controlling more memory ghosts next time would not be as painful and torturous as just now.

"From the point to the whole, if I use the part of ghosts I control to infer, the real memory ghost is essentially a memory. Maybe it is a memory of an ordinary person working in Beichen Building, but that person has never discovered it."

"For some reason, the memory ghosts broke out, and with the North Star Building as its base, they seized the memories of many ordinary people, and eventually completed the construction of the North Star Building. The memory world was thus formed."

"But people's memories cannot be limited to this building. People have families and entertainment, and they will remember many places. Therefore, the memories of these places are also captured, and the territory of the memory world is expanded."

"But my office was filled with gold at some point. Even if someone had seen and remembered the office, the evil ghost would not be able to restore it. Or the ghost first seized the ordinary people's memory of Peng Cheng's office and built a memory building based on it. After all, the ghost can even restore fake gold, so I don't believe it if it can't restore my office."

"This is the truth about the world of memory, and also the truth about ghosts."
