Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 11 The Hanged Ghost

Shang Zhicheng's eyes were filled with fear, and he used all his strength to forcefully remove the charred right hand covering his face. The evil ghost was unbalanced, but he didn't die so quickly, thanks to the fact that the two ghost hands were not particularly scary ghosts, and the recovery speed was not fast.

"Cao Yang, save me!"

Shang Zhicheng humbly asked Cao Yang for help, but he saw a corpse behind Cao Yang, a corpse hanging upside down!
The body was blue and black, with a black hemp rope tied around the ankles and the other end of the rope hanging from the ceiling. The body was already highly decomposed, but the expression on its face was still hideous.

Although he only saw it once, Shang Zhicheng dared to guarantee that it was definitely a real ghost, and it was very likely the source of the villa being turned upside down!

Shang Zhicheng wanted to warn Cao Yang, but he found that his body was being turned upside down little by little, as if something was playing with him like a toy. This change made Shang Zhicheng extremely uneasy, and he took a step forward with difficulty, but his weak body could not maintain balance, and he almost stumbled.

Suddenly, Shang Zhicheng felt another attack erupting in his body, and his insides were in complete chaos.

"Are you kidding me? Three ghosts?!"

Shang Zhicheng opened his mouth wide, the fatal attack completely wiped out his life. He fell backwards powerlessly, and the wooden sign fell to the ground with a "pop".

Cao Yang was caught off guard by Shang Zhicheng's sudden death. He was just about to move closer to investigate, but Shang Zhicheng died the next second.

After a brief moment of shock, Cao Yang regained his composure. Being reckless would only make him die faster and more miserably. Only by staying rational could he win a glimmer of hope for himself.

"Shang Zhicheng is dead. It won't be long before the two ghost hands revive. I can't hold out for long when surrounded by four ghosts with only one ghost. I need to master other spiritual powers, even if it's only temporarily."

Cao Yang opened the body bag and took out the headless body. The wooden sign was the real ghost, and the body was just an ordinary corpse driven by a ghost. The clothes on the body were tattered, as if they had been torn by something.

It was a piece of paper that seemed to have been prepared long ago. It stated the identity of the headless corpse and the ability of the wooden sign. The headless corpse was named Wei Ming, and the wooden sign was the ghost he controlled.

"tick~tick~"

Death was not the end. As the wooden sign fell, Shang Zhicheng was beheaded. His head instantly rolled off his neck, leaving only a smooth and neat cut. Then, a black hemp rope floated over from nowhere. The rope tightly wrapped around his ankles, directly hanging the headless body upside down.

The wooden sign absorbed most of Shang Zhicheng's blood. Even when Shang Zhicheng was beheaded, there was no blood fountain. The blood remaining in the body poured out like a weak stream of water.

Enduring the discomfort, Cao Yang continued to search the body and finally found an important clue in a very secret and embarrassing place: the identity of the headless corpse.

This ghost usually sticks to his body and absorbs the blood in his body. Wei Ming can use his own blood to write other people's names on the wooden sign, and the other person's neck, hands and ankles will be covered with a layer of supernatural shackles. Then, as long as the wooden sign is thrown on the ground, the other person will be beheaded. The wooden sign sticking to other people will also absorb blood, which is considered to pay the price for Wei Ming. Before the other person's blood is sucked dry, Wei Ming can use the supernatural power of the wooden sign at no cost.

"Even though he controlled such a terrifying ghost, Wei Ming still died. And judging from the way he died, it seems that he was beheaded by a wooden sign. But Wei Ming wrote his information on a piece of paper and hid it in his crotch. I really don't know what he was thinking."

"If the information left by Wei Ming is true, then the current situation is that Shang Zhicheng has paid the price, and I may be able to use this wooden sign for a short period of time."

Cao Yang hardened his heart and picked up the scarlet wooden sign from the ground. At this point, if he didn't fight hard, he would definitely die. If he fought hard, at least he would die with peace of mind. "Huh~!"

"Hoo~!"

A blue-black corpse hanging upside down was shaking in front of Cao Yang's eyes, but it was not Shang Zhicheng's headless corpse, but a real ghost!
Inadvertently, Cao Yang has triggered the ghost's pattern, and the ghost is about to attack him.

"The Hanged Ghost's way of killing is to hang people upside down. If someone is suspected of being hung upside down, it will trigger a fatal attack."

But before Cao Yang could think deeply, he felt his body being twisted. No, not twisted, but turned upside down! The bones of his whole body creaked under the influence of the spirit, and the pain was even more painful than controlling a ghost carrying a person. At the same time, a black hemp rope as thick as three fingers echoed in the air, constantly swinging towards Cao Yang.

At this time, the thin figure of the ghost carrying a person moved.

Cao Yang endured the pain and tightly wrapped the many strips of cloth he had torn off his clothes around the wooden sign, and then stuck the sign on the ghost carrying a person on his back. Now he could only pray that the wooden sign and the ghost carrying a person on their back could fight against the hanged ghost together.

The ghost carrying people walked towards the direction of the upside-down ghost. Forcibly using the ability of the ghost carrying people would greatly stimulate the revival, but Cao Yang could not care less. If the ghost carrying people and the wooden sign could not temporarily stop the upside-down ghost, then the result would be his own death.

Shang Zhicheng paid the cost of using the wooden sign, and before Cao Yang used it, the cost was almost completely overdrawn.

The hemp rope swung more violently, and even hit Cao Yang several times.

Suddenly, the hemp rope touched Cao Yang's ankle and began to wrap around it tightly. The force from it almost broke Cao Yang's ankle.

Not only that, Cao Yang's face turned red, and his hands tightly grasped his neck, as if the hemp rope was strangling his neck instead of his ankles.

Cao Yang's body had been hung up, and the horrible feeling of suffocation made his face turn purple, and he almost went into shock. But his hands were still tightly grasping something on the ground to prevent himself from being hung up in the air. This obstacle was just a drop in the bucket, and Cao Yang's grip was gradually weakening. It was estimated that he would be completely hung upside down and die in less than ten seconds.

Finally, when Cao Yang was about to let go, the hemp rope on his ankle suddenly loosened, and Cao Yang fell directly to the ground, retching non-stop.

However, the terrifying level of the ghost carrying people on its back was not enough to stop the hanged ghost for a short time. The scarlet wood plate was also actively attached to the hanged ghost. The invisible spiritual shackles instantly bound the shaking hanged ghost, and the ghost carrying people on its back was able to forcibly carry the hanged ghost on his back.

Before landing on the ground, Cao Yang used his last bit of consciousness to tug at the cloth strip in his hand, and the wooden sign tied to the cloth strip was pulled off the hanged ghost.

"Snapped!"

The wooden sign fell to the ground, and the conditions for beheading were met. The knife that did not exist in reality fell instantly, and although it did not cut off the head of the Hanged Ghost, it combined with the fatal attack of the Ghost on His Back, and temporarily silenced the Hanged Ghost.
