Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 28 Special Files

The peaceful days lasted only three days, and three days later Cao Yang received a call from Zhao Jianguo.

"Hello Cao Yang, I'm Zhao Jianguo."

"I'm Cao Yang."

"Cao Yang, it's like this. There is a supernatural incident that needs to be handled. We don't need to solve it. The headquarters just hopes someone can go and investigate. Of course, being able to solve it is the best result, and the headquarters will also give you a great credit."

As one of the few people who knew about Cao Yang's background, Zhao Jianguo always negotiated with Cao Yang in a friendly manner when asking him to do things, and never used responsibility or the lives of ordinary people to carry out moral kidnapping.

"Send me a copy of the files and intelligence on the incident first, and I'll think about it."

There is a play!

Zhao Jianguo was delighted. Being willing to check the files was a good start. At least he was not like some other responsible persons who were very resistant.

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away. The confidentiality level of this incident is very high, and the files must be specially decrypted before they can be viewed. I hope you won't leak it."

"Codename: Ghost Bus, Class: X, unknown, the degree of terror cannot be estimated, but it may lead to a ghost incident of unknown scale at any time."

"clear."

The file stops here, but Cao Yang is surprised.

"File creator: Anonymous (needs higher level permissions to view)"

"Core intelligence of the incident: An old bus that looked almost scrapped once stopped at the bus stop in ■■ City. The person in charge got on the bus after noticing something was wrong, but fortunately he got off safely in the end. (The name and address have been blocked, and a higher level of authority is required to view)"

As soon as the words were spoken, Cao Yang had already received the intelligence. He decrypted the files according to Zhao Jianguo's instructions and only then did he see the full picture of the incident.

"According to the oral statement of the archive creator, this bus is suspected to be able to easily travel through supernatural places. The person in charge personally witnessed an endless cemetery, a three-story building shrouded in darkness that seemed to be a museum, and an ancient house deep in a bamboo forest. The bus will randomly appear at a bus stop in reality, and both humans and ghosts can get on the bus, but there are only 35 seats, and the person in charge has no idea what will happen if the bus is fully loaded."

After thinking about it, Cao Yang felt relieved.

"Although there was a driver on the bus, he had already become a corpse. The bus was suspected to be operating on its own, or the real driver could not be observed by normal means."

"The information about the bus was actually recorded so early. But that's right. With Master Qin in charge, if he wants, he can just drive the bus through a certain city on a relatively free day and let the person in charge find him and get on the bus. After all, in most cases, the bus can almost be regarded as the last life-saving trump card of the ghost rider."

"Note: All supernatural things are suppressed in the bus. Even ghosts will not kill people easily. However, it is not recommended for people who board the bus to try to kill themselves. It is reasonable to speculate that supernatural buses may also have engines turned off."

"My name is Cao Yang. I have read the files of the incident. What does the headquarters want me to investigate? A ghost car that can appear at any bus stop. You are not asking me to determine its route or location, are you?"

Cao Yang dialed the number and was quickly connected.

"That's not the case. There are so many bus stops in the country that the probability of finding that bus is too low. The headquarters won't let you do such a meaningless thing. The bus file was provided by a veteran of the headquarters. He played a role in the establishment of the headquarters."

Zhao Jianguo's voice came from the other end of the phone, but he didn't say what he wanted Cao Yang to do. "I don't care about these useless news. Just tell me what you need me to do. I'm still interested. It's hard for me to maintain my enthusiasm for work if you keep me in suspense like this, Captain Zhao."

It was rare for Cao Yang to make a joke. In fact, he was just a cheerful college student not long ago, but time travel and ghost-controlling made his personality a lot colder.

"Well, I'll make it short. The person in charge of Daji City, Jiang Shangbai, lost contact with the headquarters three days ago. Through surveillance, we found that he seemed to have boarded the bus."

"So you want me to go to Daje City for support?"

"No, the headquarters needs you to board that bus, find Jiang Shangbai, and then work together to try to resolve the floating corpse ghost incident. The elder knows where the bus stops in reality, and if you are willing to participate, he can provide the location."

Zhao Jianguo's words made Cao Yang basically confirm the identity of the elder, it must be Mr. Qin without a doubt.

"To be honest, this mission was initiated by the elder who approached the deputy minister and asked you to handle this matter."

Cao Yang was stunned. Old Qin specifically asked him to participate. Could it be that this incident was related to Yang Jian's future development? Could the floating corpse ghost be related to the ghost lake?
After careful consideration, Cao Yang decided to accept the call-up. Mr. Qin would not easily interfere in the affairs of the headquarters unless something would affect the future direction. In other words, the floating corpse ghost incident was not simple. It was an opportunity, but also a risk.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Jiang Shangbai is the person in charge of Daji City. As long as he is pulled off the bus, the mission will be accomplished. Moreover, the driver Qin Lao will provide the exact location. There is no reason for him to refuse.

"I can agree to this, but I would like to meet with the elder afterwards."

"I can't guarantee that. The relationship between that elder and the headquarters is rather delicate. Even the deputy minister may not be able to command him. I can only help you react, but no one can guarantee whether he will agree to see you."

Zhao Jianguo was in a dilemma. The old man held a very high position in the headquarters and no one dared to give him orders.

"Okay, that's settled. Please provide the information on the floating corpse ghost and the location of the bus as soon as possible. I need time to compile more information and make preparations in advance."

"Okay, don't worry about this, it will be done soon. I'll hang up first, you have a good rest, and I'll take care of the other things."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yang sat casually in his leather office chair.

"I'm the person in charge of Otsu City, but I don't have much time to do. All I do is travel."

With a slight sigh, Cao Yang picked up the human skin list and looked at it carefully. However, this time, the list had changed again. There was only a ghost pattern on it, but this time the pattern was enlarged, many details were clearer, and even obvious colors appeared, no longer a single dark brown.

The list showed a skinny corpse in a glass case, as if all the moisture had been sucked out of the body. The corpse seemed to have no flesh and blood, only a thin layer of human skin attached to the bones. The most bizarre thing was the face of the corpse, with eyes wide open and teeth gnashing, as if something shocking had happened before his death.

"This is the first ghost the ghost peddler wanted. There is no information, only a portrait. The only clue is the glass cover. It looks like it is in a pavilion, or even a museum."

"Dudu~!"

The sound of the satellite phone interrupted his thoughts. Cao Yang carefully put the list into a small golden container and then picked up the satellite phone.
