Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 33 Strange
"Wow~!"

The water surface not far from Cao Yang suddenly began to churn violently. The corpse floating on the water moved, and accompanied by a sound of breaking water, the corpse was kicked away by a foot.

A head jumped out of the water and breathed heavily.

"Damn, I almost got caught here."

Jiang Shangbai was panting heavily, and his originally ugly face became even more stiff and numb. If he hadn't stood up and kicked in the water with his dead feet, he would have been drowned today in this water that looked only half a person's height.

It took Jiang Shangbai a lot of effort to barely retract the dead man's foot. The difficulty of the floating corpse ghost was beyond his expectations. Now the degree of recovery of the ghost foot was even higher than before he got on the bus.

"The water is receding. Did Cao Yang succeed?"

After a brief recovery, Jiang Shangbai discovered that the accumulated water around him was receding. No, not receding, but all of it was strangely flowing into the pond, while Cao Yang was observing with a serious expression.

"If it's not him, then who is it? Or is this the instinctive action of the evil spirit?"

Jiang Shangbai's heart was now filled with resentment and confusion, but he couldn't vent it, so he could only walk to Cao Yang with a gloomy face.

"What is this? The incident has been resolved? Then who gets the credit? You solved it, me, or should we put all the blame on that corpse?"

"There's a man on the water."

Before Jiang Shangbai could ask, Cao Yang spoke first. He turned his head and looked into the pond. There was indeed a fresh corpse floating on the water. It looked very young, probably in its early twenties. However, the corpse was pale and bloodless, with extremely swollen skin. Not only were its limbs so thick that they were almost split, but even its neck was swollen into a round shape, as if it had swallowed a human head.

"It was too coincidental. It felt to me like everything was planned, from the sudden information about the bus to the person who suddenly fell into the water at the most critical moment of this supernatural incident. It was unreal."

Cao Yang pondered.

Jiang Shangbai was shocked and stunned by the scene before his eyes, but Cao Yang sensed something strange.

Two hours passed and there was no abnormality around. It seemed that the corpse had indeed managed to control the floating corpse ghost by chance.

As time passed, the water in the pond had completely returned to its original clear state, and the corpse had returned to normal. The swelling and distension of the limbs had disappeared, and the thing in the throat that looked like a human head seemed to have been swallowed into the corpse's stomach. Except for the faint smell of decay in the air, it seemed as if nothing had happened here.

The turbid water was flowing back like crazy, seeping into the mouth and skin of the corpse. Before long, all the water outside the pond was absorbed by the corpse, and even the water inside the pond became clearer.

"Wow~!"

There was a churning sound in the pond, and the two men hurried forward to check, and found that the corpse was standing upright on the water, with satisfaction, confusion and puzzlement in its eyes, which were obviously the emotions that only living people have, proving that the pale corpse in front of them was a human and not a ghost.

Jiang Shangbai found it difficult to accept this result for a while.

"Is this a ghost rider? Can a corpse also ride on evil spirits?"

"Wait a little longer, maybe that's not a corpse."

"It seems that he is indeed a ghost rider. This kid is really lucky to be able to ride such a potential ghost."

Jiang Shang's words and actions clearly showed some jealousy, but he still had to do the aftermath, after all, he was the person in charge of Daji City.

"Hey, kid over there, come here."

Jiang Shangbai waved his hand contemptuously, signaling the man to come over. The young man was obviously a little confused, but he subconsciously walked towards the two. He was wet, and water droplets kept dripping from his body as he walked. The surrounding environment also became a little damp because of his walking. "Are you talking about me?"

Zhang Mu felt his brain was confused, as if water had entered his head. Not only that, his stomach seemed to be filled with a lot of water, and the feeling of nausea and vomiting could not be shaken off.

"Wow~!"

Finally, Zhang Mu couldn't hold it in any longer and spit a large mouthful of water directly onto Jiang Shangbai. Jiang Shangbai was so angry that he almost went berserk.

"He's still like this even after becoming a ghost rider. He looks like a loser at first glance."

Jiang Shangbai has never been stingy with his sweet words to such people.

"Han Yu, tell Zhao Jianguo that the floating corpse ghost incident in Daji City has been successfully resolved. Someone in the incident was lucky enough to become a ghost rider. Please send someone from the headquarters to contact him."

Cao Yang has already dialed the satellite phone and reported the situation on the scene.

"Got it. I'll report to the captain right away."

On the other side, after Jiang Shangbai calmed down his anger, he briefly questioned the rude boy and learned that his name was Zhang Mu, 23 years old, and he was an ordinary student at the School of Foreign Affairs. Today, he always felt that he was a little confused, so he wanted to go back to school to relax.

However, the school was temporarily blocked due to special reasons. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he bypassed the layers of blockades and climbed directly over the wall, and ended up falling into the pond.

"Alright, that's it. Go back first. Someone from the relevant department will contact you later."

Jiang Shangbai impatiently sent Zhang Mu away without even teaching him the basic knowledge of the paranormal circle.

"You just let a ghost rider go like this. Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble in Daji City? You have witnessed with your own eyes how terrifying the floating corpse ghost is."

"Isn't there still a headquarters? They want me to do everything, but they don't pay me overtime. I'm not a slave to the headquarters, being ordered around every day. If you don't have anything to do, you can leave. Daji City is already in chaos, so don't make things worse for me."

It can be seen that Jiang Shangbai was very resentful at this moment, and even his words became impolite.

Cao Yang didn't care, but he was looking forward to meeting Old Qin next time and seeing this old man who was comparable to the Seven Elders in the original novel and who had jointly planned the plan of creating a god for his entire life.

Daji City is very close to Dajin City, and the headquarters arranged a special plane, so Cao Yang returned to Dajin City in just an hour.

"dudu~"

As soon as Cao Yang sat down, his private phone rang. It was Cao Yanhua calling.

"Hey, Cao Yang, I heard from Zhao Jianguo that you want to meet with that elder from the headquarters?"

"Yes, I'm very curious why he specifically asked me to handle this incident. There are many strange things happening in it. I think he may be able to give me the answer."

Cao Yanhua was silent for a while and then spoke slowly.

"He is an old man. We all respectfully call him Old Qin. It was Old Qin who asked me to find Jiang Shangbai and solve the floating corpse ghost incident. I asked him about your wish to see him. He agreed and the time is set for two days later."
