Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 30 Cooperation
After calming down briefly, Jiang Shangbai found that he still couldn't stand the fact that Cao Yang had dragged him off the bus. The interior of the ghost bus was isolated from the spirits, and even the ghosts in the ghost riders' bodies would be gradually suppressed and fall into silence. At least in Jiang Shangbai's opinion, the bus had more advantages than disadvantages.

"Cao Yang, to be honest, I'm in a very bad state. You boarded that bus, and I believe you've noticed that the carriage is isolated from the supernatural, and even the ghost in my body that is on the verge of revival can be suppressed. It's not that I don't solve the incident, but does that mean my life is no longer a life?"

Jiang Shangbai complained indignantly.

"You were right about the information about the bus, but you wanted to attack me as soon as you woke up. This is not what a ghost rider on the verge of resuscitation would do."

Cao Yang sneered and said that Jiang Shangbai was clearly going to give up, but how could he, who had accepted the task, let him have his wish?

Jiang Shangbai was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to get angry. There was no difference between strong and weak ghosts. However, the strange wooden sign in Cao Yang's hand obviously restrained his dead feet. If he really started to fight, he would definitely not get any good results. Thinking of this, Jiang Shangbai had to accept his fate with a look of misfortune.

"The opportunity to board the bus is hard-won. I can work with you to solve the floating corpse ghost incident, but I have a request."

Seeing Jiang Shangbai acting like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, Cao Yang also became interested. After all, the task assigned to him by the headquarters was indeed not very ethical. Ghost riders are not cattle or horses. They join the headquarters to rely on the headquarters to extend their lifespan, not to be ordered around and used as thugs.

"Okay, tell me. I can pass it on for you. If necessary, I can also say a few good words for you in front of Zhao Jianguo. I'll take it as your credit."

"The headquarters wouldn't want to see a ghost rider on the verge of resurrection killing people and causing trouble in the city, right?"

"Cao Yang, you and I are both adults. Only interests are absolute. I can compensate you for this contribution with other things. Money, gold, or beautiful women? I can give you all of them."

"you"

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in any of this. If you want to take all the credit, then go and solve the incident by yourself. If you want me to give you the credit, you're really good at daydreaming."

"Of course, but can I understand that you are threatening the headquarters?"

Cao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. This Jiang Shangbai was indeed as annoying as in the original novel.

Jiang Shangbai paused and said with a sinister look on his face.

"Then I understand. In short, you want to take all the credit for the floating corpse incident?"

With a gloomy face, Jiang Shangbai took out his private phone and dialed a number.

"Of course it's right to stay alive, but you are trying to use my life to prolong your own life, haha. I changed my mind. There is only one credit, let's see who has the ability to take it."

"Damn it, who is this Cao Yang to dare to talk to me like that? I have to report this to President Fang. If this guy ruins the good things of the circle of friends again in the future, President Fang will not let him off easily."

"Don't misunderstand me. It's normal for a ghost rider to become insane after being corrupted by a fierce ghost. How can this be called a threat? I'll be frank. I've participated in solving several supernatural incidents, big and small. Now I want a place in the experiment of controlling a second ghost. That, plus the credit for solving the floating corpse ghost incident, should be enough."

Cao Yang didn't buy it and directly pointed out Jiang Shangbai's plan.

Jiang Shangbai was so angry at Cao Yang that his face turned pale and blue.

"Don't be so absolute, Cao Yang. I'm not a dog of the headquarters. I just want to survive. Is that wrong?"

"looking for me?"

A deep and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was this voice that made Jiang Shangbai feel like he had found his backbone.

"Boss Fang, the headquarters sent someone to pull me off the bus."

Jiang Shangbai was pouring out his grievances as if he was calling his parents. "Oh? There's someone so capable in the headquarters?"

Fang Shiming was also stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of any person in charge at the headquarters who had the ability to accurately know the time and location of the bus stops.

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Fang. That man is called Cao Yang. He should be the latest person in charge to join the headquarters. He also has a wooden sign in his hand that just restrains my ability. I can't even do anything."

"Cao Yang? I've never heard of him. I don't think he's a big shot."

"Headquarters sent him to pull me off the bus and ask me to solve the incident in Daje City."

"Then go ahead. Not long ago, the headquarters spent a lot of money to poach Professor Wang. The experimental data and projects have been shelved, and the circle of friends has suffered a great loss. Your contribution is enough to exchange for an experimental quota. As long as you can solve the floating corpse ghost incident, I will then put pressure on the headquarters, and it will be a sure thing for you to control the second ghost."

Fang Shiming's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"alright, I got it."

"If you don't need anything else, hang up first. Your identity cannot be exposed for the time being."

With Fang Shiming's assurance, Jiang Shangbai also became excited. Although he only stayed on the bus for two days, the revival of his evil spirit was delayed by at least a month. Even if he used his ability a few more times, the worst that could happen was that he would return to the state before getting on the bus.

"Damn it, let's go for it. Once you get into this business, death is just a matter of time. Right now, the only way to delay this situation is to control a second ghost. If Cao Yang gets there first, I'll be done for."

Jiang Shangbai took advantage of his position as the person in charge and rushed back to Daji City as quickly as possible to resume the floating corpse ghost incident.

Daji International Studies College, Cao Yang had arrived here before Jiang Shangbai.

"This artificial lake has been completely polluted by the supernatural. Human body fragments and even ghost slaves have been emerging from it."

This was the third pale and swollen corpse that Cao Yang had dealt with. The two rules of a ghost who carries a person on his back will die and a gravity ghost who loses balance will die were perfectly coordinated, making it easy to deal with these ghost slaves.

"Let's burn all these ghost slaves together. It's a bit extravagant to imprison them with gold."

Cao Yang gave instructions to Jiang Shangbai's liaison officer, which made Jiang Shangbai, who arrived late, look dark immediately. He felt like he was being bullied in front of him.

"Cao Yang, don't go too far. This is Daji City, and I am the person in charge here."

"Excuse me, I'm very interested in this contribution. If I solve the incident, can't you focus on dealing with your own problems?"

Cao Yang deliberately emphasized the word "merit" in order to deliberately provoke Jiang Shangbai.

Jiang Shangbai wanted to explode, but when he thought of the wooden sign in Cao Yang's hand, he became silent again.

"Cao Yang, I can make a concession. You and I can work together to solve the incident, and we can split the credit 50-50."

"Wouldn't it be better if it was like this earlier?"

Cao Yang is not the kind of person who likes to do things to the extreme. He is in a position and does his job. Since Jiang Shangbai is willing to cooperate in solving supernatural incidents, he is a good person in charge. As for whether he will do something stupid again after failing to win over Yang Jian in the future, Cao Yang doesn't care at all.
