Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 140: Winning over Team Members
Just when Cao Yang felt at a loss, the satellite phone suddenly rang and Cao Yang quickly answered the call.

"Officer Cao, I have found the information about the person in charge of the code name and road you asked me to check. After Jiang Shangbai stepped down, a ghost rider named Zhao Tong took over his position, and Zhao Tong's code name at the headquarters is Huitou Road."

Han Yu's clear and pleasant voice came from the phone, which sounded like the sound of nature to Cao Yang's ears at this time.

"Zhao Tong from Daji City, I understand. Please inform him in advance. I will go to Daji City to visit him in person in the next two days."

The call did not deliberately avoid Lin Ye, as he was also a participant in the Ghost Road incident. Although his level of involvement was not high, he was still somewhat knowledgeable.

"I plan to investigate and even solve the Ghost Road incident in one fell swoop. Would you consider joining me in this incident?"

This is an inquiry and also an attempt to win over. As the captain, Cao Yang has the right to form his own ghost-riding team. Some city leaders can choose to join him to keep each other warm and seek shelter.

"this…"

Lin Ye didn't expect Cao Yang to suddenly offer him an olive branch, and it was obvious that the Menggui Road incident was the token of his loyalty. He was not a fool, and had been a ghost rider for a long time. Although his qualifications were not as good as those of Feng Quanweijing, a group of veteran criminal police, he could barely be considered a ghost rider of the same period as Cao Yang, but he was not growing as fast as him.

"I know you joined the friend circle to live a better life, but if you offend someone you shouldn't offend in the friend circle, you will die. The consequences are obvious to all."

"Dahang City is very close to Dachang City. If I'm not mistaken, you would definitely want to join Yang Jian's team first. But as far as I know, he only has six spots, and they have almost all been finalized during this time in Dajing City. You don't have much of an advantage, not to mention your upper-level identity."

"The Captain's Plan has already shown that the current headquarters can no longer take over the overall situation. The future belongs to the Ghost Riders, and only to the top Ghost Riders. The resources and care that a captain can enjoy are enough to support a team of Ghost Riders to survive for a long time."

Cao Yang saw Lin Ye's hesitation and wavering. On the way here, he had read Lin Ye's file. His code name was Gui Lalian, and he was a ghost rider of the same generation as himself. The fact that he was still alive and his mental and physical state seemed normal was enough to prove that Lin Ye had enough means, so Cao Yang wanted to win him over.

"I need a moment to think about it."

Lin Ye neither refused nor agreed, but this was also beyond Cao Yang's expectations.

"Okay, but I can only give you two days. You have to consider what choices you will make during this time. That's all I can say."

After saying that, Cao Yang prepared to leave. He didn't want to stay here for too long. The existing information was not enough to support him to find the Ghost Road. He needed more valuable information.

"Captain Cao, I'll take you there."

Lin Ye tried to follow with a deadpan face, but Cao Yang waved his hand to refuse.

"No, I have something urgent to do. You should think about it carefully in the next two days."

At Lin'an Airport, although the gravity ghost had crashed, Cao Yang was not willing to use the evil ghost's supernatural powers too much, because the crashed ghost would also erode itself, but the speed and degree would not be as violent as that of the revived ghost.

A few hours later, in Daji City, Quancheng Building, Zhao Tong took over the position of person in charge and took over the office left by Jiang Shangbai.

But he was just a small figure, so small that he was not even invited to attend the first headquarters meeting. When he heard that Captain Cao Yang was going to visit in person, he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Don't be nervous, Zhao Tong. I came to you to ask you to do me a small favor."

Cao Yang said with a smile. He could see that Zhao Tong was not in good condition. If he used his abilities a few more times, the evil spirit would be revived. If he used this direction as a starting point, it should be easy to win him over. "Captain Cao Yang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my current condition is very bad. I conservatively estimate that I can't live for even a month. You are the captain, and you must need my help because you encountered a supernatural event, but..."

"I have some places for experiments to control a second ghost. If you are willing to join my team, I can give you one. And I can guarantee that before you participate in the experiment, I will help you temporarily alleviate the resurrection of the evil ghost."

The conditions Cao Yang offered were extremely luxurious, a place in the experiment to control a second ghost, and it could temporarily help him alleviate his recovery problem. If this was exchanged for success, Zhao Tong would probably not be able to earn it in his two lifetimes.

"Okay, thank you Captain Cao for your kindness. I am willing to join your team. I will be grateful for your care in the future."

Zhao Tong agreed without any hesitation. He had a clear idea of ​​his own position. If he wanted to exchange his merits for a place in an experiment, he didn't know how many times he would have to die.

"Okay, then you should get ready. We should be going on a mission in the next two days. Your ability is very important for the Ghost Road incident."

According to Zhao Tong's own description in the file, Huitu Road is a special kind of ghost den. If you run backwards, you can gradually get away from it. However, if you run in the normal direction, you will gradually sink deeper into the ghost den, and it will become increasingly difficult to escape.

"Ah? Haunted Road?! Me?"

Zhao Tong was stunned. He had only solved one C-level incident since he took office, and even then he was almost resurrected as a ghost. Now Cao Yang asked him to solve an A-level incident.

"Captain Cao, isn't it a bit too much for me to participate in the A-level event? I know exactly what kind of rotten fish and rotten shrimp I am. How about you reconsider it?"

Zhao Tong looked so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Cao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said righteously:

"I'm not kidding you, but don't be too nervous. The risk factor is much lower if you act with me. At least I will do my best to save your life within my ability. And now that we have solved a Grade A incident, our team can rest and recuperate for a while. We have reason to refuse the headquarters' call-up, and you can also focus on controlling the second ghost."

"That's...okay."

Zhao Tong finally lost his temper. Cao Yang was right. He had just joined the team, and as the captain, he should not be so cruel as to watch his teammates die. Thinking of the experimental quota, Zhao Tong felt that it was not a bad idea to give it a try.

"Do whatever you need to do in the next two days. I'll let you know once the action plan is finalized. A-level incidents are no joke. I need more intelligence support."

After leaving a few words, Cao Yang left. He planned to ask Wang Xiaoming, maybe he would know something.

……

"Haunted Ghost Road, a Grade A incident. Unfortunately, I don't know much about it."

"Not much, which means you know something. Tell me. I am planning to intervene in this incident soon and need your intelligence support, even if it is just some analysis and speculation."

In the laboratory, Wang Xiaoming took a look at the ghost coffin placed behind the dark yellow glass. There was a person lying in the coffin, and Wei Jing stood beside him with a numb expression.
