Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 115: A business trip, but also an escape
Wang Xiaoming didn't mind Cao Yang's threat. Anything that could restrict the actions of evil spirits or even suppress the evil spirits themselves would be snatched by countless people no matter where it was placed. Cao Yang's willingness to give it up was a sign of great trust in him.

"Here are the two ghosts I promised you. They are both in containers. I will deliver the ghost blood to you before I leave for Osu City on a business trip. I hope to see the results of your research when I return."

Cao Yang placed two containers on the table, which contained the head of the angry King Kong and the strange hand covered with cracks and dirt.

"The mixture of blood and water will be one of the most thrilling experiments I have ever been involved in."

Wang Xiaoming gladly took it. Actually, these two ghosts were not important. What was important was that he had to maintain a fair trading relationship with Cao Yang. He was an expert at the headquarters, but that did not mean he would accept freeloading.

Cao Yang did not stay here for long, but returned to the hotel to rest for a while, while also thinking about the next plan.

"The Horror Tattoo Parlor sounds like it's on the same level as the Horror BWG, but in reality, the size of the Tattoo Parlor is definitely not as good as that of BWG."

Cao Yang took the file in his hand and flipped through it again and again, remembering what Chen Yi said last time.

"Could he just want to find out more about this tattoo parlor? Since we have to go there anyway, we might as well ask him and see what price he is willing to offer. It will be a way to earn some extra money."

But now is not the right time to call. Cao Yang doesn't have the habit of calling others late at night, especially calling the ghost rider. Of course, it's all the ghost's fault.

It was not until the next day that Cao Yang was able to communicate with Chen Yi.

"Cao Yang?"

"Yes, it's me. Didn't you ask me for help before? Tell me, I just happened to be going on a mission soon."

Cao Yang didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Really?"

Chen Yi was somewhat surprised and said quickly:
"It's like this. You should have seen my file, the Horror Tattoo Parlor in Dasu City. I want to ask you for help, mainly because I'm almost reaching my limit recently. There's a ghost there that is very suitable to balance my current state, so..."

He didn't say anything else, but Cao Yang already understood what he meant.

"Tell me the highest price you can offer. If I'm satisfied, I can take it. However, if the ghost is frighteningly fierce, don't hold your hopes too high. I may not be much better than you."

Cao Yang was not in a hurry to agree. He would decide whether to help or not based on the conditions offered by Chen Yi.

"A red ghost candle and a white ghost candle."

Chen Yi gritted his teeth and said that this was a special treatment only he could enjoy as the person in charge of Dajing City, but it would take two months to approve one red ghost candle, and the corresponding gold quota had been reduced.

"I'll give you two ghost candles, one red and one white. Do you dare to enter that tattoo parlor? Not to mention that your request is that I bring back a ghost."

Cao Yang was not very satisfied with the remuneration, but Chen Yi was in a dilemma.

After a moment, Chen Yi seemed to have made up his mind.

"What if we add two more ghosts?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"I'll take the two ghosts in my body as payment. If I die one day, these two ghosts will belong to you."

Cao Yang was delighted when he heard this. Chen Yi was here to be a good man. If others didn't know, how could he not know? In the original novel, Chen Yi died in the ghost painting incident, and it was estimated that he would not be long in coming.

"Sure, wait until I come back from the mission, and I'll give you the money and the goods." "Thank you, I'll text you the information about the ghost later."

After the communication ended, Chen Yi might feel that he would not lose anything, but Cao Yang knew that he would definitely make money.

Soon, a text message came, which contained some information about the ghost.

"Codename: Skinned Ghost, Terror Level B, Danger Level Unknown."

"The skinning ghost only moves around in the horror tattoo parlor. It has no skin and its entire body is covered with strange, fishy-smelling paint. I was once partially skinned by a skinning ghost, but I was lucky enough to control the ghost skin to avoid triggering the pattern and being attacked again."

There is not much information, but it records the code name, image and some abilities of the evil ghost, which is enough to determine the identity of the ghost.

Not long after, the rewards distributed by the headquarters were delivered to Beichen Building. The rewards were two red ghost candles and three white ghost candles. The staff also explained some of the headquarters' situations:

"After the headquarters think tank and professional assessment experts determined, the Gray World incident was ultimately rated A-level, which is not high enough to be called S-level, so rewards will not be issued according to the standards for S-level incidents."

Cao Yang didn't really care about it. He knew best whether the memory ghost incident was S-level or not. The reason why there were no large-scale casualties was purely because he isolated and blocked it early.

After receiving the supplies, Cao Yang did not stay any longer, but caught the fastest flight and flew directly to Dahai City. Because the two places were too close, Dasu City did not have an airport.

In Dahai City, Cao Yang had just landed. It was already evening, but the headquarters far away in Dajing City had already fallen into chaos.

"I can't get involved in the ghost messenger incident. Everyone at the headquarters can just wish you the best."

Without hesitation, Cao Yang got on the special car bound for Dasu City. He couldn't stay in Dasu City for long as this was Ye Zhen's territory from the supernatural forum. If he was discovered, he would be in trouble from this middle school student with a second-year syndrome.

An hour later, in Dasu City, countless young men and women in the bustling city were enjoying the nightlife that had just begun. It seemed like a world of decadence and extravagance.

Following the location recorded in the intelligence, Cao Yang groped his way to an ancient town far away from the city. It was called an ancient town, but in fact it was just a larger commercial street, but the surroundings had been completely blocked off. The explanation given was that a serial murder case had occurred there.

"This is it."

It was already night, and due to the blockade for several days, the area was particularly deserted and dead silent. The occasional bird calls added a bit of eerie atmosphere to this haunted place.

Taking out a special flashlight, Cao Yang bypassed the blockade and walked directly into the commercial street.

"The tattoo parlor seems to be out of control, and there is a possibility that the ghost inside has escaped. Ah Hong lost contact during the investigation. If I find her, my mission will be completed."

Walking on the quaint commercial street, Cao Yang was always alert to his surroundings. But apart from the most common chilly feeling in supernatural events, he did not find anything unusual.

"Has the ghost escaped? Or has it been confined in the tattoo parlor by Ah Hong? If it's the latter, then I have to speed up. Ghost handlers have limits, but ghosts don't. If Ah Hong dies, I'll have trouble getting into the tattoo parlor."

Cao Yang quickened his pace and after wandering around, he finally found the shop: The Horror Tattoo Parlor!

The door was half open, and gusts of cold wind poured out from the shop, mixed with a faint stench, like raw meat that had been left to rot for too long.

Not only that, Cao Yang also vaguely heard some strange noises, as if something was making a rustling sound in the store.

"It's an incomprehensible weird phenomenon, but the mission will be over once we find Ah Hong."

Cao Yang gave up using the flashlight and instead took out a red ghost candle from his arms, ready to light it at any time.
