Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 2 Laws
Beichen Building is the territory of Peng Cheng, the head of Dajin City. He usually works here.

At this time, Peng Cheng had a serious expression and a satellite phone was clamped to his ear.

"Otsu University? Okay, I'll be there right away. Please help me prepare the container."

Outside the building, driver Lao Liu and the special car were already there, ready to set off as soon as Peng Cheng arrived.

"Lao Liu, sorry for the wait. Let's go. Our destination is Otsu University."

Peng Cheng was very quick. As soon as he finished speaking, he sat in the back row.

Old Liu did not respond, but drove silently towards Otsu University.

In the back seat of the special car, Peng Cheng's expression was very solemn. He was worried about his condition. Ghost Box, this is the code name he gave himself, and it is also the ghost he controls: a strange box that replaced his chest, and various items can be taken out of it.

These items can have an effect on ghosts, but the prerequisite for using them is to use them on yourself first.

There was a very deep wound on his abdomen and a circle of purple marks on his knees. The flesh in these two places had completely rotted away and emitted a faint foul odor.

There are fewer and fewer living people around, which means that I may become the target of evil spirits at any time.

"Damn it, this ghost is killing people indiscriminately. Everyone died in the same way, with their backs to the ground and their faces to the sky."

Although he was afraid, Cao Yang did not give up analyzing the rules. Keeping feet off the ground was one of the rules of ghosts that he had basically confirmed.

"The person is lifted up, with his feet off the ground."

The resurrection of evil spirits is always a problem that ghost riders cannot avoid, but as the person in charge of Otsu City, Peng Cheng cannot allow evil spirits to wreak havoc in this city, so he came.

Zhou Lin suppressed the fear and discomfort in his heart, and followed Cao Yang's example to observe the common characteristics of those who were killed by ghosts.

Cao Yang frowned. He also noticed the victim's body shape, but it was the woman who was just attacked that made him suspicious.

Beichen Building is very close to Otsu University, and it only takes about five minutes for Lao Liu to get there at full speed.

"Not really. Wasn't there a very thin girl who was attacked just now?"

"Cao Yang, have you noticed that those killed by ghosts seem to be larger people?"

"Twice. Use the ability at most twice more and the ghost box will be fully revived."

"No, my brain is not enough. Guanghui, can you still walk? If not, I will carry you on my back."

Zhou Lin regained some sanity and asked uncertainly. Everything that had happened so far could not be explained by any common sense. It was already in the realm of metaphysics.

Cao Yang was comforting him, and at the same time comforting himself. In the face of evil spirits and supernatural events, ordinary people were lucky to have a 10% survival rate, and there were also many people who knew the rules but still died in the end.

Not only that, this wooden ghost box is eroding his entire body bit by bit. His arms and back have completely turned dark brown, and are wrinkled like tree bark.

Cao Yang didn't know when Peng Cheng would arrive. He only knew that the current situation was extremely dangerous and he would lose his life if he was not careful.

Zhou Lin was somewhat desperate. He thought that he was smart enough to be admitted to Otsu University, but in the face of absolute fear, his mind was nothing but a mess.

"That's true, but don't give up just like that. Ghosts have fixed killing patterns. If you can understand this pattern, there is still a great chance of surviving."

"Cao Yang, have we encountered a ghost?"

"Wait, back?!"

Suddenly, Cao Yang seemed to have an epiphany, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Old Zhou, quickly carry Guanghui on your back!" Zhou Lin was a little confused. Cao Yang was so calm just now, why did he suddenly become so excited?

But it was obviously not the right time to ask more questions. Zhou Lin pulled up He Guanghui, who was slumped on the ground, and Cao Yang helped He Guanghui lie on Zhou Lin's back. Zhou Lin slowly stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and successfully carried He Guanghui on his back.

But before he had taken a few steps, he was suddenly tripped by a foot, and He Guanghui on his back also fell to the ground.

"Lao Cao, what are you doing?! Is now the time to make such a joke?"

Zhou Lin was a little angry. He didn't understand why Cao Yang, who was always calm and rational, would play such a trick at this time. But when he stood up and saw the uncontrollable excitement on Cao Yang's face, he became even more confused.

"Old Zhou, look at Guanghui's posture, and then look at the postures of those corpses."

Zhou Lin suppressed his doubts and looked around as Cao Yang asked.

He Guanghui's posture is exactly the same as those corpses!
"Fuck!"

Zhou Lin screamed, but Cao Yang covered his mouth.

"Don't get excited yet. Carrying people on their backs is just a way for ghosts to kill people. But why ghosts carry people on their backs, or what law we trigger that makes ghosts carry us on their backs, we still don't understand this."

Zhou Lin nodded as if he understood, and said nothing more.

"You proposed to carry Guanghui on your back because you can carry him. Will the ghost also carry you because you can carry him? What conditions must be met for the ghost to think it can carry you?"

Cao Yang murmured in a low voice.

"It has something to do with the weight. Guanghui is relatively thin, and I am stronger than him, so I can easily carry him on my back."

Zhou Lin replied thoughtfully.

"It's probably related to weight, but it may not be lighter than ghosts, because we don't know how ghosts define their own weight. It could be infinitely heavy or infinitely light."

Cao Yang believes that he is very close to determining the rules of ghosts. If he can figure out how ghosts determine weight, then everything will become clear.

"Lao Cao, look."

Zhou Lin's call once again interrupted Cao Yang's thoughts. Looking in the direction of Zhou Lin's finger, Cao Yang saw a strange scene:
A humanoid black shadow squatted in front of Li Kai with its back to him. The shadow had no facial features, and if it weren't for its limbs, Cao Yang couldn't even tell which side was his front.

Li Kai's chest was pressed tightly against the back of the black shadow. The black shadow leaned over and stretched out his hands, clasped them backwards, and firmly pinned Li Kai to his back. Then, the black shadow slowly stood up, and Li Kai's body was also lifted up little by little.

"Don't put your weight on the ground with both feet."

Li Kai's voice suddenly stopped before he finished speaking. He died, leaving behind an unspoken message.

"It's obvious that Li Kai also noticed some of the patterns of ghosts and used his own life to prove it. It's a pity that he couldn't explain it clearly."

Zhou Lin's fear deepened. There were less than ten people left nearby, and he might be the next one to die.

"Li Kai is right. When I saw him before, he was hanging on a branch. He must have been exhausted so he came down. But as soon as he landed, he was attacked by a ghost."

Cao Yang said in a deep voice.

"Weight, both feet on the ground. Li Kai's weight could not be measured while he was hanging on the tree. To put it another way, his weight was 0. After landing, Li Kai's two feet were on the ground. At this time, his weight could be measured, so the ghost attacked him."

"So, a ghost's judgment of its own weight should be that it is infinitely light, but it has to carry people who are heavier than itself. This is the law of ghosts!"
