Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 35 Future
An old voice came into Cao Yang's ears through the window. Cao Yang suddenly sat up in shock and looked around vigilantly.

"I heard you wanted to see me, so I came."

The voice continued.

"Mr. Qin?"

Cao Yang reacted immediately. Yes, this is the headquarters base. At present, it is definitely the safest place in the whole country except for the Golden House. There is no other place like this. The only one who can come and go freely here like a ghost is Qin Lao.

The man did not say anything else, but appeared directly in front of Cao Yang. An octogenarian, with age spots all over his face, a hunched body, wearing a coat and holding a cane, he looked like an ordinary old man.

But this is Old Qin. The ghost in Cao Yang's body even began to show danger warnings and wanted to stay away from Old Qin.

"Mr. Qin."

Cao Yang said respectfully, and at the same time took a chair and motioned for Mr. Qin to sit down.

"Yes, you are quite polite, young man."

"Then why me? There should be many people in charge who joined the headquarters much earlier than me. There shouldn't be anything special for you to pay attention to, right?"

"Because of the future, the future has become different. I thought about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this. The responsibility of an era should never fall on the shoulders of a single person. He needs companions, friends, and people who can shoulder the responsibility together. Since there are people enforcing the law, there needs to be people supervising."

In the middle of his words, Old Qin suddenly stopped, the future cannot be revealed.

Old Qin coughed twice and seemed a little agitated.

Cao Yang did not experience any ideological struggle and asked directly:
"I want to know why you specifically asked me to get Jiang Shangbai off the bus and why you also asked me to participate in the floating corpse ghost incident? I think Zhang Mu's appearance was not accidental, but was arranged. The credit for the floating corpse ghost incident was simply given to me for free."

"You ask."

A meaningful smile appeared on Old Qin's face.

"Maybe it's because of the change in my mindset. When I realized that I could never escape the fate of encountering supernatural events and becoming a ghost rider, I thought I should take the initiative to face them."

Old Qin sat in a chair with his eyes closed, and it was unknown whether he heard Cao Yang's question.

"Of course the credit should be given to the meritorious. I arranged Zhang Mu, but originally a student named Lin Shan was supposed to control the ghost. However, I found that Lin Shan had bad conduct and was a complete villain, so he died. Zhang Mu has a good character, so he succeeded."

Cao Yang was speechless for a moment. Old Qin was still Old Qin, and the essence of the riddle man had not changed. If he was not a time traveler, he really wouldn't understand what he meant. Fortunately, he had read the original novel before traveling through time. Although he couldn't say that he remembered all the details clearly, he still understood the general context.

Since Mr. Qin had spoken, Cao Yang naturally could not refuse.

"I just have one question. I want to know why your life trajectory has suddenly changed so much? In the future that I foresaw, you..."

"Interesting. I won't beat around the bush, old man. I know you want to see me, so just tell me what you want to ask. I'll answer everything I can."

Anyway, Old Qin knew everything, so Cao Yang didn't mind and just started bragging about himself.

"Forget it, just ask directly. After all, Mr. Qin has said that he will answer everything he can, but isn't it up to him to decide what he can and can't do?"

Old Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, and no expression could be seen on his wrinkled face.

"So direct? I can't figure this out. Aren't Mr. Qin and those Republicans classic riddlers? Why are they so straightforward this time?"

"Have you finished asking questions? Now it's my turn to ask you."

"Respecting teachers and elders is what we, the younger generation, should do."

Cao Yang pretended not to notice Qin Lao's pause and gave a fairly sincere reason.

"Is this so"

Qin Lao's eyes were cloudy, and he kept mumbling something. "That's right, a small action would cause a series of changes. I was confused."

"Forget it, young man, just go forward with confidence, the future belongs to you. I will compile a special intelligence for you later, and I hope you can make good use of it. By the way, if he really forces you into a desperate situation, you can go to Dazhou City."

Old Qin said some irrelevant words, and then he disappeared as if he had never appeared. Cao Yang was digesting what Old Qin said.

"Some enforce the law, and some monitor. Could it be that Yang Jian will be the law enforcement captain, and one of the other captains will be the supervisory captain?"

"Old Qin didn't delve into the reason why my fate changed. He probably wouldn't know about the fact of time travel. If he really knew, it would prove that Old Qin already possessed extraordinary spiritual power, which is enough to end the era of spiritual power, instead of spending all his efforts to train Yang Jian."

"The last "he" refers to the Ghost Peddler, right? Going to Dazhou City should be asking me to find Zhang Dong. So what Mr. Qin meant is that if I can't deal with the Ghost Peddler one day, Zhang Dong might be able to help me."

"Special files, could it be the information about the ghosts on the human skin list?"

There were too many doubts, and Cao Yang didn't know where to start.

"Oh, I was overthinking it. A Riddler is still a Riddler after all. He won't tell you anything if you ask him."

Since he couldn't figure it out, Cao Yang simply gave up. Everything would become clear once he got the files compiled by Mr. Qin.

Silent all night.

The next day, Zhao Jianguo went to find Cao Yang, but found the room was covered with blood, which scared him a lot. Cao Yang, who was lying on the bed, was completely turned into a bloody man.

"The evil spirit Cao Yang has revived?!"

Fine beads of cold sweat instantly broke out on Zhao Jianguo's forehead. If this was true, it must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late when the ghost in Cao Yang's body fully revived.

"Calm down, calm down, report to the deputy minister first, and then transfer someone here as soon as possible."

As a small leader at the headquarters, Zhao Jianguo naturally knew the three laws of evil spirits, but now he had no choice. Even if making a phone call and making a sound would trigger the ghost's laws, he had to release the information.

"Dudu~!"

The phone rang several times, but was never answered.

"Is the supernatural already affecting the signal?"

Zhao Jianguo was secretly anxious.

"What are you doing? Do you think I'm dead?"

Cao Yang's voice suddenly rang out, and Zhao Jianguo was so scared that the phone in his hand dropped to the ground.

"Cao Yang?"

Zhao Jianguo asked tentatively.

"It's me. Thanks to you, I'm not dead yet. There was indeed something wrong with my condition last night, but it's not enough to revive a ghost."

Cao Yang really didn't lie. After Qin Lao left, the Death Card seemed to be abnormal. Blood kept flowing out of it, as if it was going to spit out all the blood it had absorbed before. The Death Card was a fully revived ghost, Cao Yang knew this very well, but after it spit out the blood, Cao Yang obviously noticed that the degree of resuscitation of the Death Card was reduced, and it even fell into a short state of pseudo-death.

He immediately realized that it must be Old Qin who was helping him, so he simply let the blood flow out. However, he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Zhao Jianguo.

"This is the file that the deputy minister compiled for you to use. I'll leave it here for now. I need to report your situation truthfully. Please don't mind."

Zhao Jianguo put down the documents in his hand and fled away.

　For safety reasons, I will try to use "Horror BWG" instead of "Horror Museum" in the future. Please understand.
