Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 16 Ghost Window
"The Huanggang Village incident was filed by Feng Quan, the person in charge of Dachang City, but he himself has been missing in this incident for two months."

"The floating corpse ghost incident in Daji City, the ancient house in the forest in Dazhou City, and the haunted building incident in Dashen City."

Cao Yang was browsing the files compiled by Han Yu.

"The person in charge of Dazhou City is quite capable. He actually managed to spy on Zhangdong's ancient house and old forest. But this thing can no longer be described as hellish. I guess I can't even get out of that old forest now."

Finally, Cao Yang's gaze stopped at an incident that occurred in Zhongtang City and was tentatively classified as a Class C incident:
Ghost window.

According to archival records, there was no person in charge in Zhongtang City. This incident was compiled and reported by local department personnel. Because a large amount of manpower and material resources were mobilized and the investigation lasted for a month, but no crucial clues were found, they could only report to the headquarters and it was defined as a C-level supernatural event.

Afterwards, the headquarters also sent out a ghost handler to track down the case, but due to his own condition, the ghost handler was unable to delve further into the incident after confirming the code name Ghost Window, and the story ended in a mess.

"Han Yu, I'm going to Zhongtang City to investigate the ghost window incident. Please prepare a container for me. Also, help me collect more information about the ghost window. You should filter out the useful ones and summarize them for me. Just send them directly to my personal mobile phone. For the next period of time, I can only contact the headquarters one-way, and you cannot contact me actively."

"Understood. The golden container will be directly sent to Zhongtang City, and I will summarize the relevant information within two hours."

Han Yu's simplicity and efficiency saved Cao Yang a lot of trouble. If every operator was like Liu Xiaoyu at the beginning, Cao Yang couldn't imagine how much of a headache he would have.

All these clues point to one place: the window.

Qian Guangming from the Zhongtang City Police Force gave him a detailed report, which mentioned that at first someone was missing, and then the bodies of the missing people all appeared strangely in this unfinished building. Moreover, the time of disappearance was all concentrated in the middle of the night, and the surveillance along the way could not find any evidence of their movement, which means that the bodies appeared here out of thin air.

"Ghost Window. From the code name, we can tell that the image of the ghost should be a window, but the killing pattern has not been recorded. It seems that we must find the ghost before we can analyze it."

Cao Yang decided to go back to the hotel and rest for a while, maybe he could find something at night.

"Apart from the lingering chill, there is nothing obvious wrong with this unfinished building. But chill is too normal in supernatural events. If we develop an obvious tendency because of this, we might overlook other details."

Cao Yang took a look around the unfinished building and indeed found quite a few traces:
Bloody fingerprints, scraps of clothing, and marks left by friction and bumps on the windowsill.

Cao Yang's face was extremely pale, and in the eyes of passers-by he almost looked like he had leukemia, but only he knew that this was caused by the Death Card sucking too much blood. If it weren't for the influence of the Gravity Ghost, he would have turned into a mummy long ago.

The unfinished building in the west of the city is where the ghost rider encountered the ghost window, so this is also Cao Yang’s first stop.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but the human-carrying ghost and the gravity ghost were always fighting endlessly with his body as the battlefield. Fortunately, Cao Yang was not like Yang Jian, who was paralyzed and unable to move by the ghost eye.

Zhongtang City, a small town located in the northeast of Otsu City, is a typical industrial city. The sky here is always gray, as if covered by a layer of fog.

"If the code name Ghost Window corresponds to the image of the evil spirit itself, then the container I brought is likely to be unable to contain it. The headquarters assumes that most evil spirits are in the form of human corpses, so the containers we create basically meet this condition. As a result, gold is difficult to use when evil spirits of certain special forms appear."

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.

At ten o'clock, Cao Yang came to the unfinished building again. Unlike during the day, the unfinished building seemed to be filled with white smoke, which hovered over many floors and could not be dispelled, adding a bit of weirdness to the quiet and silent unfinished building.

"This place is different from Bantian. There is some kind of inexplicable supernatural power in the unfinished building now. If I have to put it simply, the whole building seems to have been swallowed up and then spit out by a ghost. This supernatural power exists objectively, but it is impossible to make a clear judgment." Considering the code name "Ghost Window", Cao Yang did not approach any window of the unfinished building, but leaned against the wall to think.

"Dudu~!"

"Mr. Cao Yang, someone is missing again"

After answering the phone, before the other party finished speaking, a strange scene happened in front of Cao Yang:
A female corpse was thrown in from a window not far away, making a dull sound. You have to know that this is the top floor of an unfinished building. Anyone who can do this must have at least supernatural powers.

Cao Yang ignored the panicked voice on the other end of the phone, because he knew better than anyone: the ghost had started killing people!

It was a very young female corpse, but the exposed skin was strangely bruised, and there was a dark handprint on the arm. The expression on the female corpse's face was full of fear, her eyes were bulging, and her mouth was wide open, obviously she was greatly frightened before death.

"Mr. Cao Yang, are you listening?"

Qian Guangming's voice came from the phone.

Cao Yang was annoyed by the question and said in a deep voice:

"The ghost is near me. If you don't want to die, you'd better shut up. I can't guarantee that the ghost can kill you through the phone. Ghosts don't listen to reason."

On the other end of the phone, Qian Guangming suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and a chilling feeling instantly enveloped his whole body.

Ghost, on the other end of the phone!
He quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.

Cao Yang hung up the phone in frustration and carefully examined the condition of the female corpse.

"He was indeed killed by a ghost, and the body was thrown in through the window. The sensing range of the ghost can almost cover the entire unfinished building, but I didn't feel that there was a human or ghost triggering the pattern."

"Pfft~!"

The sounds of several heavy objects falling to the ground were heard in the dead silence of the unfinished building, and Cao Yang's expression became extremely solemn.

Just now, the gravity ghost's lair covered the entire unfinished building, and Cao Yang had already determined that the noise was made by corpses. Like the female corpse in front of him, they were all thrown in from the window. The skin was bruised, and there was a black palm print on the arm.

"The window is a medium, the real ghost is killing people outside!"

Cao Yang instantly realized that there was something wrong with his thinking. The source of the ghost was indeed related to the window, but the window could not kill people. It was just a medium for the evil ghost to deal with the corpse. The ghost killed people in reality and then threw the corpse into the unfinished building through the window.

"This unfinished building is a node connecting the ghost window, but there may be many such nodes. From the current performance, it seems that any window may become a node connecting the ghost window."

"Han Yu, modify the file of the ghost window and add a ghost of unknown horror level. My personal preliminary judgment is that it should be C-level, and there is a certain probability that it will rise to B-level."
