Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 25 The Peddler

Boss Liu was carrying Cao Yang, and the paper man Lao Hei was following behind with the luggage. The distance was affected again. Cao Yang clearly felt that he did not move, but the scene in front of him was changing like a kaleidoscope. Sometimes it was dark, and sometimes some tall buildings could be seen.

until
The surroundings were shrouded in thick darkness, as if all the light sources nearby were gradually being blocked. Twisted and strange figures began to emerge in the darkness, cold and terrifying. They were definitely horrible ghosts.

Boss Liu had to stop at this time, because opposite him, a strange man wearing gray-green cloth, with a black cloth covering his face and a skinny body blocked his spiritual power. What was even more strange was that the strange man was carrying a shoulder pole with a cargo box hanging on each end of the pole, and a wind chime hanging on the front cargo box. He looked like a peddler walking around the streets during the Republic of China.

The ghost peddler did not make any move, just stood there motionless. Boss Liu tried to change the direction and distance to bypass it, but failed. Because he found that no matter how he changed the distance, even if he shortened the distance to an inch, the ghost peddler would still stand in front of him.

"Young man, this peddler is coming for you, right?"

Even if he was slow, Boss Liu realized something was wrong. Although he didn't know whether it was a ghost or a ghost rider, its level of terror was extremely high. It was probably not much different from his father's level before he died, or even a little stronger than his father.

"That should be the case. I was involved with him before, and now it seems like I've been targeted."

Cao Yang gave a bitter smile. He didn't expect that the ghost peddler would come so soon and be able to interrupt Boss Liu's supernatural power.

"By the way, boss, do you know this ghost? If you have information, maybe it can be solved."

"This young man is really skilled and brave. He even dares to touch such a scary ghost."

The darkness nearby was getting closer. Cao Yang could even see that some evil spirits were almost materializing. This was not a good sign.

"I'm not sure, but if my father were here, he might recognize him. Unfortunately, he's gone."

"The peddler is a transaction, but also a curse. Because I have done a transaction with him, he seems to have accepted that I am the object of the curse and the transaction. In the original book, Cao Yang took the bill of lading from the cargo box. Perhaps I have to do the same."

Boss Liu's eyes were full of fear. He compared things in his mind and decided that if he fought against this ghost, he would have no chance of survival.

Boss Liu said this unhappily, and Cao Yang could only smile awkwardly and stop talking.

"I see!"

"How about you go first, Boss? He's coming for me, so he shouldn't stop you."

Cao Yang cautiously approached the ghost peddler not far in front of him. The black cloth wrapped around him made it impossible for Cao Yang to see the peddler's facial features clearly, nor could he judge his expression. Although the ghost's expression had no practical meaning, the completely obscured facial features really forced Cao Yang to be extremely careful.

Boss Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at this strange person carefully, trying to analyze something from his appearance.

"You make it sound so easy, young man. If I could get away, would I still be worried?"

When he was three meters away from the peddler, Cao Yang saw a dark yellow and somewhat blackened paper stuck tightly to the cargo box in front of him. The material of the paper looked a bit like some kind of leather, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should be human skin.

Cao Yang's face was solemn, and he cautiously took another step forward. Now there was a distance of two meters between the man and the ghost.

In vain, the ghost peddler moved, and Cao Yang took back the step he was about to take. The ghost peddler slowly put down the shoulder pole from his skinny shoulders, put the two boxes on the ground, and then stood there motionless. "Does this mean that I can take the list?"

Cao Yang did not act rashly, but was thinking and speculating.

For three minutes, the ghost peddler was like a petrified man, without any movement, not even the rise and fall of his breathing.

Seeing that the ghost peddler was still motionless, Cao Yang's mind became active, and he began to carefully examine the ghost. The ghost peddler's head was wrapped in black cloth, so even the ghost den could not see through it. Not only that, the famous idealistic ghost in the original book had no ability to resist the ghost peddler, and could only be detained as a commodity.

Looking at the wind chimes again, they were all bright black, like a delicate black jade. Each section of the wind chimes was made up of a spherical jade and an old talisman paper, on which were crookedly painted words and symbols that Cao Yang could not understand. It was obviously an equally terrifying supernatural object.

Cao Yang's gaze finally fell on the ghost peddler's body. His body was as thin as a mummy, and the cloth clothes had long become tattered, but they were still worn on the ghost peddler.

"The peddler's body should also be a complete ghost, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry the horrible ghosts on the pole and the cargo box."

Cao Yang kept an eye on the peddler while cautiously reaching out for the human skin bill. Under the black cloth, the ghost peddler had a sharp-edged middle-aged male face, but this face seemed familiar.
Seeing Cao Yang taking the list, the ghost peddler resumed his action. He stretched out a shriveled and skinny hand to pick up the carrying pole again. In the process, the wind chimes shook and made crisp sounds. The sound was mixed with the supernatural. Cao Yang unconsciously quickened his pace of retreat, away from this strange peddler.

"Ding ding~!"

The crisp sound of wind chimes rang out again, and the evil spirits that appeared around made strange cries. They were actually being swallowed up by the darkness again bit by bit. The supernatural phenomena were disappearing, and even the light was recovering.

"Young man, you actually drove him away?"

Boss Liu was busy using his own spiritual power to stay away from the evil spirits approaching him and did not notice Cao Yang's actions.

"Senior, you are joking. I have no ability to drive it away. I am only prolonging my own death."

Cao Yang smiled slightly. Taking the list was equivalent to signing a transaction contract with the peddler. Wasn't that just prolonging his own death?
The darkness was receding, and the two finally saw the light again.

"No matter what, you have the means to make that level of evil spirits leave. You are really impressive. You are so young, don't even think about whether you will die or not. Even if you die, we old guys will be the first to die. Boss Liu, I can guarantee that if you are given time to grow, you will definitely have a place among the big bosses in the spiritual circle in the future."

It can be seen that Boss Liu has a very good impression of Cao Yang and is even generous with his praises.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. If I achieve something in the future, I will definitely bring you a valuable gift to visit you."

Cao Yang recalled the few polite words in his mind, which was considered to be giving Boss Liu enough face.

"Hahahahaha, young men like you are really lovable, but I'm not a greedy person. If you really reach the top of the supernatural world in the future, I'll be satisfied if you can go to that Chinese medicine shop and get me a prescription."

Boss Liu smiled and waved his hand, then picked up Cao Yang and left.
