Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 141: Suburban Haunted House
"There are three ghost riders in my circle of friends who have participated in the Ghost Road incident, but as far as I know, they returned empty-handed, or even gained nothing."

Wang Xiaoming kept an eye on the ghost coffin while recalling the information in his mind.

"A haunted house in the suburbs of Dajing City. It is impossible for the headquarters to not pay attention to an A-level incident. The headquarters once sent out ghost drivers to investigate the fierce ghost road incident and finally determined that this incident was related to the haunted house incident, and it was not migratory and spreadable, so the headquarters acquiesced to their existence."

The haunted house in the suburbs of Dajing City is an incomprehensible haunted house. The headquarters has thought about solving it. However, they sent two groups of five ghost hunters, but all of them lost contact, and no one has returned alive so far.

The result was just as Wang Xiaoming said, the existence of the haunted house was tacitly approved and the headquarters did not send anyone to conduct an in-depth investigation.

"The haunted house in Dajing City..."

Cao Yang frowned slightly, it seemed that all the haunted places related to houses were terrifyingly dangerous, such as the Wang family's ancient house or Zhang Dong's ancient house in the forest. He didn't want to run into any bad luck.

"Let's do this for now. I'm doing an experiment and this is a critical period."

Before he hung up, Cao Yang heard a vibrating sound, a bit like a piece of wood shaking.

"Han Yu, please help me find some information about the haunted house in the suburbs of Dajing City. Thank you for your hard work these past two days."

"Officer Cao, you are too polite. Compared to people like you who are at the forefront of supernatural events, our work is nothing. I will go and sort out the information about the haunted house right away. However, it seems that the files on that incident have been sealed, so I need some time to mobilize them again."

"Okay, there's no rush. As long as it can be done within two days, that's fine."

Two days, this is the deadline agreed upon by Cao Yang and Lin Ye. Supernatural events cannot be solved by one person alone, and qualified teammates can also play an important role. That is why Cao Yang chose to recruit Lin Ye and Zhao Tong to join him.

"Let's go check out the place they went last time first."

During the waiting time, Cao Yang did not plan to sit idle. Clues come from practice. Information on paper only exists on paper after all. It is still necessary to conduct on-site investigation to determine more.

"It's already evening, let's go to Dajing City tomorrow to check the situation."

The next morning, Cao Yang arrived in Dajing City. Chen Yi participated in the operation against the ghost painting, and the other two persons in charge were relatively busy, but Cao Yang's whereabouts were still discovered by Gao Ming.

"Cao Yang? What is he doing in Dajing City? Could it be that another supernatural incident happened in Dajing City? Forget it, I'd better not say hello. A rookie like me should try to avoid contact with those ghosts. After all, if I'm not careful, I'll be in trouble. Those captains may not be able to take care of me."

Gao Ming put on his sunglasses and quietly hid himself in the crowd without any contact with Cao Yang.

On a city side road in the west of Dajing City, although it was a sunny day, this asphalt road was always filled with a lingering chill. This side road has been completely blocked, and there are very few people and cars approaching it. The sparsely populated environment once again adds a bit of desolate atmosphere to this wide asphalt road.

"There is indeed a supernatural aura. According to Lin Ye, Gao Zhiqiang once used the supernatural power of deceiving ghosts to make this fierce ghost road appear for a short time. It does not exist in reality. It takes at least five levels of ghosts to touch and detect it."

"Do you want to open the ghost cave and give it a try?"

Cao Yang hesitated, but soon he gave up the idea. "I haven't made enough preparations today. I can't take this risk. If I get sucked in, I might not even know how I died. If I remember correctly, the haunted house is not far from the end of this road. Let's go there and take a look."

Cao Yang's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the end of the abandoned asphalt road. This was a piece of wilderness, which was a rare sight in the land-scarce city of Beijing.

The wild land was full of weeds. Even in winter, these weeds did not wither, but grew particularly lushly, the deepest of which was even deep enough to reach the knees. What was even more strange was that these weeds were not lush green, but a gray and decayed color, which was obviously inconsistent with its growth state.

There was a small yellow mud road in the weed-covered wilderness, full of potholes and lumps, just like the most common mud roads in rural fields. This yellow mud road was probably less than two people wide, and was filled with a strong stench, like the stench of raw meat that had been exposed to the sun for too long and rotted and infested with maggots.

However, as a ghost rider, Cao Yang was already used to and sensitive to this smell. This was the stench of corpses. And such a strong stench of corpses could only prove one thing: there were many corpses buried in this field.

"Something is not right. If it was a corpse from a long time ago, there shouldn't be a stench coming out. So this haunted house has been killing people recently, but the frequency and number are not high, so it has not attracted attention."

Cao Yang did not risk stepping onto this yellow mud road, a road that could kill people. It definitely hides some unknown rules and is quite dangerous.

However, Cao Yang did not intend to return home, he was going to investigate outside the haunted house. However, the gravity ghost den could not spread out, this yellow mud road was like a barrier that completely blocked Cao Yang's ghost den, and there were even signs of invading the gravity ghost den.

Cao Yang's face changed, and he instantly retracted the ghost den, giving up the idea of ​​approaching the ancient house. However, in just a few seconds of contact, the gravity ghost den was eroded by the yellow mud road and left a large gap.

"What a fierce yellow mud road."

Cao Yang was filled with fear. Just by trying to get close to the haunted house, he encountered such danger. No wonder the headquarters lost five ghost riders. A road that could be invaded or even eroded by ghosts was quite deadly to ordinary ghost riders.

“Is there an obviously abnormal ghost road near every ancient house?”

Returning our gaze to the haunted house, the entire house was not very large and looked very old and dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned for many years. Even the paint on the door had faded and looked a little grayish.

The house was two stories high and built entirely of blue bricks. The wood supporting the tiles on the top had rotted and a large area had collapsed, covered with weeds and moss.

The walls of the house are densely covered with a layer of ivy with thick and lush leaves that are growing very well. However, because no one has lived there for a long time, the surrounding desolation and dilapidated appearance adds a bit of eeriness to this old house.

"It's a haunted house in the style of the Republic of China. It's not well preserved. The glass on the windows has been broken, leaving only some dark holes."

Just by looking at this ancient house, Cao Yang began to feel a little uneasy, and as time passed, this feeling of uneasiness intensified, as if some great terror was brewing in the ancient house.

“Do we really have to go through this haunted house to enter the Haunted Road?”

Cao Yang was a little shaken. An old house from the Republic of China was obviously related to an old man from the Republic of China. Meng Xiaodong had Room 301 in Mingyue Community, Luo Qian had a wooden house in the cemetery, Zhang Dong had an old house in the forest, and Luo Wensong also had a ghost post office.

"It seems that the seven elders all have their own place of belonging. Only Sister Hong is a little uncertain, but the tattoo parlor in Dasu City seems to be related to her. Then who does this ancient house belong to? Is it the old man from the Republic of China who did not appear in the original book?"
