Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 190 The Price of a Human Skin Bag

Although he said he was preparing, Cao Yang didn't actually need to pack anything specially. The human skin bag was extremely practical, and at this point, Cao Yang didn't need to worry about the struggle of the evil spirit in his pocket.

"Bronze sword, bronze spear, death card, ghost candle, scapegoat..."

Cao Yang opened the seal of the human skin bag and threw in many half-sealed gold containers. The bag seemed like a bottomless abyss that could never be filled.

At this time, the human skin pocket was bulging, and it seemed that something was wriggling inside. From time to time, handprints, footprints, and even the outline of a human face appeared.

Countless cold arms poked out from the pockets. Some of these arms were rotten, some were skinny, and some even had their palms chopped off. Cao Yang even saw half a head about to pop out.

"This is really weird. I don't remember stuffing so many ghosts in there."

Cao Yang frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

The source of the human skin bag was actually a lantern, but the ghost fire in the lantern was removed and given to Li Jun, and the remaining part was processed into such a bag.

“Could it be that the depths of the pocket are also connected to a mysterious place?”

Thinking of this, Cao Yang decided to give it a try. The supernatural invasion is mutual. If the pocket is really connected to a supernatural place, perhaps opening the pocket would provide a window for the evil spirits inside to invade reality, so he had to be more cautious.

It is better to be proactive. Cao Yang does not want to be stabbed by the ghost in his pocket when he uses it one day.

Cao Yang took the bronze sword and swung it casually. Those arms and palms were dismembered instantly. The death magic on the bronze sword made them shrink back quickly as if they were electrocuted, and some of the broken pieces of the puzzle that were chopped off were thrown back into the ghost den by Cao Yang again.

Then, the gravity ghost cave and the ghost wind ghost cave condensed into a line as thick as an arm, and continued to invade deeper along the seal. Just along the route where the ghost cave had invaded, Cao Yang had already sensed the presence of about ten evil spirits, not to mention that this was when the ghost cave had not fully expanded.

"endless?"

Cao Yang's face changed. The invasion of the ghost den had lasted for at least three minutes. If it were in reality, these three minutes would be enough for him to turn into a rainbow and travel from Otsu City to Dajing City or even further.

"The human skin bag is not as simple as you think."

As if to verify Cao Yang's idea, the originally calm human skin bag began to wriggle strangely, rising and falling constantly, as if it was breathing.

Then, the pocket began to move and appeared out of thin air next to Cao Yang's hand. It bit Cao Yang's palm like a mouth. It didn't hurt, but an extreme coldness was quickly invading Cao Yang's body through the contact point.

Cao Yang's eyes suddenly shrank, and when he reacted, his entire arm was already scrapped. The erosion of the human skin pocket, coupled with the attack of the evil spirit inside the pocket, had turned the arm into a dead object long ago, and even the ghost flesh had completely shrunk.

Without hesitation, Cao Yang swung his sword and cut off the arm without any reluctance or regret. Then, the human skin bag swallowed the arm completely, and then became stable and calm again.

"..."

"Is this the price of using a human skin bag? A sacrifice must be made, no, it must be fed to the evil spirit, otherwise the bag will turn around and devour the user." Cao Yang carefully picked up the bag with his sword, and seeing that the bag was indeed unresponsive, he tied the seal again and hung it around his waist.

"I have to be careful when using this thing next time."

Then, Cao Yang began to think about other plans.

"Liu Yin, a second-generation ghost rider, has most likely been to the Ghost Post Office and Caesar Hotel, so he is very likely to know Zhang Xianguang. And judging from the timeline, he went to the hotel after clearing the Ghost Post Office, and finally disappeared in the hotel."

"These two places don't keep idle people. The messengers on the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office are considered to be the first-class ghost handlers under the captain in China. If the Ghost Post Office is for training ghost handlers, then the Caesar Hotel should probably be called a training class for aliens. If you don't become an alien, you will never be able to get rid of the hotel's tombstone curse."

"This Liu Yin has a lot of information. There aren't many famous second-generation ghost riders. Zhang Xianguang, Yang Xiao, Wang Lu and his wife, Chen Qiaoyang... these are the only ones who rank highly in the original novel. Now Liu Yin shows up."

Cao Yang still remembers some things he found in the haunted house on the outskirts of Dajing City: five hourglasses, sixteen characters on the table legs, three coffins and three blank tombstones in the room on the second floor. These things must represent something, or allude to something.

Perhaps it was some incomprehensible layout left by the owner of the ancient house, but Cao Yang was more inclined to believe that it was revealing the truth of the world.

"Liu Yin is a name, not a code name. Does that mean that this person has been resurrected in modern times, or that he simply didn't die back then?"

There were many doubts, and Cao Yang felt more and more that this trip was necessary.

"There is also the S-level ghost temple incident that has been plaguing the island country for a long time. I heard that the Exorcist Society lost many top ghost masters in the incident. I hope Liu Yin will not be involved with the ghost temple."

While reminiscing, Cao Yang's satellite phone rang. It was Cao Yanhua calling.

"Cao Yang, there are several people from the island country's exorcism society who are ready to contact you. I have already negotiated with them in advance and told them that you will go to the island country and try to contact the suit ghost incident while ensuring your own safety."

"As for the conditions for the move, I have also negotiated for you. They will pay four pieces of ghost porcelain and two ghosts as a deposit. If the operation is confirmed, all expenses in the process will be borne by the Exorcist Society. In addition, the Exorcist Society will also send three ghost controllers. If they encounter danger, their people's lives are worth two pieces of ghost porcelain and a ghost. Do you understand what I mean?"

Cao Yanhua's tone was not relaxed. He actually didn't want Cao Yang to take the risk of going to the island country. The main reason was that the island country was indeed dangerous now. The fall of two cities was the first in the world, not to mention that there was still the S-level ghost temple incident.

"I understand. If I save a person's life, the Exorcist Society will pay me. But I'm not afraid that they will refuse to pay me. If they really refuse to pay me, I can just kill that person. The ghost in a ghost handler's body is also a ghost, isn't it?"

Cao Yang said lightly.

"It's up to you to handle this. Just don't let others get hold of any evidence against you. But it has come to this. I don't think the Exorcist Society would do such a stupid thing. All the ghost handlers are dead. Who would be able to use these supernatural items?"

Cao Yanhua did not deny Cao Yang's statement. The island country was already in chaos enough. If they really defaulted on their debts and offended another captain, the country might be destroyed.

"Let's put it this way first. Your own safety is the most important thing. You can't trust everything the islanders say. You should have your own judgment. Those people should be here soon. You should communicate with them first."
