Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 316 The Ignited Lake

In Dadong City, Wang Chaling drove Cao Yang personally to a single-family building in the urban area. The house was dim and the windows were deliberately sealed during the renovation. Only a not-so-bright light was on in front of the elevator.

"You are really careless. You hid the starving ghosts in such a far place. If they get out of control one day, the dark blue haze that covered Dachang City before will reappear in your Dadong City in the blink of an eye."

Cao Yang followed Wang Chaling and took the elevator to the basement of the building, where there was a safe house built by Wang Chaling. The building on the ground was just a cover.

"Gold cannot be affected by ghosts. So far, no ghost has been able to break the shackles of gold. I personally supervised the construction of the safe house, so there will be no problem with the quality."

Wang Chaling walked in front to lead the way, and soon the two came to a special room. The door of this room was very heavy, and there was a small window on it, which seemed like a design used only in special prisons.

"Captain Cao, please check the goods first. Since we are going to confront Zhao Zhigang head-on, I have to make some preparations to save my life."

Cao Yang walked forward and looked into the room through the small window.

There was only one chair in the room, on which sat a strange corpse with a blue-black color as if poisoned, and a swollen belly. An old and rusty coffin nail was stuck in the corpse's forehead.

This is a genuine evil ghost, and also the source of an S-level supernatural event, codenamed: Starving Ghost.

"Captain Cao, if I remember correctly, the file clearly states that the starving ghost has mastered the power of restarting the spirit. Do you want to just remove the nails from the coffin?"

At this time, Wang Chaling walked over. His figure was a little blurry and distorted, and looked unreal, like a projected picture.

"I have already investigated the information about the restart before coming here. It is not the supernatural power controlled by the starving ghost. During the period when the starving ghost's den covered Dachang City, there was another very terrifying ghost in Dachang City. The supernatural power of the restart belongs to that ghost."

Cao Yang did not look back, but continued to stare at the blue-black corpse in the room. He saw with his own eyes some traces left on the ground, which seemed to be rust peeling off the coffin nails.

"Are you sure, Captain Cao? You can't make jokes of this level casually. I can't gamble with the lives of more than 10 million people in Dadong City."

Wang Chaling's face suddenly became a little strange. He went through a fierce ideological struggle before making the decision, and he endured for a long time before waiting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and then he stole the starving ghost. But now Cao Yang said that the starving ghost would not be restarted at all, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

"Captain Cao, I can't make a decision based on your words. I still have to be more cautious about this matter."

Seeing Wang Cha Ling's guilty look, Cao Yang did not intend to back down. Being familiar with the original novel, he naturally knew this part of the information well. The supernatural power that was restarted belonged to the wishing ghost, because the wishing ghost coveted the body of the fully developed starving ghost, so he chose to restart at that moment.

"Well, I will activate the ghost den and completely seal off this building, and then dismember the starving ghost's head. You should quickly re-imprison its body. If only the head is left, the risk factor will drop sharply."

"Of course, the premise is that you, the captain, are not a fake."

Cao Yang said, Wang Chaling could hear the determination in his voice, and he would not allow him to refuse. If Cao Yang revealed that he had stolen the starving ghost, Yang Jian would definitely come to Dadong City to cause trouble for him.

"If anything unexpected happens, the consequences will be borne by me and the headquarters."

Seeing that Wang Chaling was still hesitant, Cao Yang gave another guarantee.

"so be it."

At this point, Wang Chaling could no longer refuse and had to reluctantly agree. At the same time, Zhongzhou City was completely submerged. Fortunately, Cao Yang's evacuation work was done in a timely manner and no serious casualties were caused.

However, the city was quite lively at this time, with green will-o'-the-wisp fires everywhere, each of which was attached to a corpse. These corpses had one thing in common: they were all wet, and even water was oozing out from their bodies.

Not only that, every corpse, regardless of gender, had loose hair and exuded a lingering cold and damp smell.

"Li Jun, there's no need to focus on these corpses. They are just ghost slaves that died in the Ghost Lake and were contaminated by the spirits. Excessive use of ghost fire will only make it difficult for you to use your full strength in the tough battle that may follow."

On the rooftop of a building in Zhongzhou city that had not been completely submerged, four captains stood side by side, but there were five people in total. A beautiful woman with heavy, lifeless makeup stood next to Li Jun and reminded him with concern.

Her name is Ah Hong, codenamed Ghost Makeup. She is the person in charge of Dasu City and a ghost rider who joined the headquarters at the same time as Wei Jing. The face of Li Jun on the ghost skin was drawn by her using ghost makeup, but this makeup will fade or even disappear as the ghost fire burns, and by then Li Jun will no longer exist.

"I can't tolerate this kind of evil thing running rampant, even if this is a dead city."

Li Jun's lips moved and a hoarse, weird sound came out of his mouth. It sounded like a ghost howling with its throat pinched, which was uncomfortable.

Behind Li Jun, Yang Jian, with a pale face, held a cracked golden spear in his hand, and acquiesced to Li Jun's behavior with a cold face. Shen Lin and Liu San on the side also remained silent. Li Jun's character was like this, and the spirits they controlled were not suitable for large-scale cleanup, so they did not stop Li Jun's actions.

"Well, I'll touch up your makeup when you can't hold on any longer."

Ah Hong sighed and stopped dissuading him.

"There's a lot of dirt under the water."

Li Jun took off his sunglasses, but his eyes were empty under the sunglasses, without eyeballs, only two eerie green ghost lights flickering.

next moment.

The calm and silent water surface suddenly caught fire. The green ghost fire ignited the water surface without any reason. Moreover, the ghost fire was spreading and spreading at an incredible speed, as if it wanted to set the whole city on fire.

However, this burning did not last long. The cold green flames gradually began to sink and fell into the lake.

Not only that, these flames did not go out, but were still jumping in the lake. If they touched a corpse or a ghost, they would instantly explode.

However, most of the flames sank to the bottom of the lake, completely lighting up the dark and gloomy water, and allowing several captains to clearly see the danger at the bottom of the lake:

ghost.

Countless ghosts.

"Hahaha, I think your captain Li Jun is just so-so. A small puddle has left you helpless? The headquarters even found four captains to join forces, but in my opinion, they don't seem to be that good either."
