Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 354 Soul Calling
After the call with Cao Yang ended, Shen Liang called He Yiner again. Who said Cao Yang was the real person in charge of the headquarters?
“Captain Yinzi, I’m Shen Liang from the headquarters.

The call was answered quickly.

"I'm Yin Zi, what can I do for Captain Shen?"

In Dayuan City, Boss Liu was guarding He Yiner, still dozing lazily as usual.

"It's like this. The situation regarding the supernatural incident in Luo City has reached a stalemate. Li Jun and another captain, Lu Zhiwen, are both somewhat helpless. The headquarters had no choice but to recruit another captain to provide support, and Captain Cao Yang recommended that I contact you."

Shen Liang had a smile on his face. Captains could blame each other or joke with each other, but he was just an ordinary person. If Cao Yang hadn't used the chicken feather as a token of approval,
He really didn't know how to start.

"Cao Yang asked me to go for support?"

He Yiner was stunned, and then he remembered what Cao Yang said in Zhongzhou City.

"If He Yin'er really wants to rebuild Taiping Ancient Town, then she should voluntarily resign from the position of captain, and he will find a more suitable person to take the position."

"I understand. We still have to give Cao Yang this favor."

After a moment's silence, He Yin'er responded.

"Then I'll trouble Captain Yinzi. By the way, Captain Cao asked me to tell you that if you are sure to provide support, remember to bring Gu Li's coffin. He will go to Luocheng City to meet you after handling the incident in Dazheng City."

Shen Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that He Yiner would refuse directly with a blunt attitude and leave no room for negotiation. But now it seems that Cao Yang still has a lot of face, and the person in charge of the headquarters was the right choice.

"It would be great if Li Jun and Wei Jing could be so sensible."

Thinking of this, Shen Liang felt quite helpless again.

The Captain Plan established a total of twelve captains, and only five of them are actually controlled by the headquarters. Excluding Jiang Shangbai who was defeated by Yang Jian, no matter how you look at it, the headquarters should have the initiative.

But the fact is not so. Among the captains controlled by the headquarters, Li Jun is upright and resolute, but his shortcomings are also obvious: reckless and rigid; Wei Jing is also stubborn and there is a risk of losing control.

Lu Zhiwen, who works behind the scenes and has been engaged in clerical work for a long time, does not have much experience in handling supernatural events, as can be seen from the incident in Luocheng this time.

Zhang Xuan, who is based abroad, has been responsible for collecting foreign intelligence. His strength is naturally beyond doubt, but he is a transparent person in the headquarters and cannot provide much help for the headquarters to control the situation.

Among the five people, only Cao Yang can stand on his own, he is quick-witted, experienced, and has defeated Ye Zhen in a one-on-one duel and handled S-level incidents on his own. Now, he can make He Yiner, who is also a captain, give him face with just one sentence. Obviously, he is the most suitable candidate in all aspects.

In Dayuan City, He Yiner did not delay too long. She packed up some old things and waited for Boss Liu to arrive.

“It’s time to go.
The environment in the office suddenly distorted, and then Boss Liu appeared dragging a coffin. The coffin was made of gold, very thick, and judging from the weight, it was obvious that there was a person lying inside, or a ghost.

In Luocheng, the green ghost fire kept burning, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burning, which was emitted by countless corpses with only the lower body being set on fire.
The cold ghost fire continued to burn for an hour, during which time the ghost makeup on Li Jun's face melted away, and Ah Hong had to touch up his makeup again.

"Let me give it a try. I'll disguise myself as Wei Jing and maybe I can get in touch with the auction house with the help of the ghost messenger's supernatural powers."

After finishing the touch-up, Ah Hong stood up and quickly started to put on makeup for herself.

Soon, Wei Jing's facial features appeared on Ah Hong's face, and at the same time, the iconic rich darkness quickly spread.

Unlike the original novel, Ah Hong, who has become an alien with the help of ghost makeup, can almost perfectly utilize all the supernatural powers of the person in makeup, but this requires the other party's consent and approval, otherwise it is easy to backfire.

With the help of Wei Jing's supernatural powers, the deep darkness gradually spread, and at the same time, some things that did not exist in reality gradually revealed their outlines.

The ancient city of Shendu was originally a commercial street that had been passed down from the feudal dynasty to the present day, but no one expected that the auction house was also hidden here.

In the darkness, the outline of the auction house was vaguely visible. There was an old-fashioned neon light hanging at the door. The dim light illuminated the three words on the plaque - "Auction House".

“You can see it, but you can’t get in.”

Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen walked towards the auction house one after the other, but their bodies went straight through it. Because the boundary between the spiritual land and reality was not broken, they only glimpsed a trace and did not enter the level where the spiritual land was.

The ghost cave dissipated, Ah Hong reached out and wiped her face, the sticky and smelly dye melted away instantly, and then quickly returned to Ah Hong's original appearance.

At this time, He Yiner and Boss Liu also arrived, and the heavy golden coffin fell to the ground with a dull sound.

"Captain Ginko of Ohara City?"

Lu Zhiwen revealed the identity of the visitor in just one sentence.

"It's me. Shen Liang asked me to come to Luocheng City for support. Cao Yang should come too."

He Yiner said.

"Don't worry about him for now. Let's deal with the supernatural incidents in Luo City first."

He Yin'er didn't want to waste too much time, so this time she brought several items used by the older generation of ghost riders during their lifetime, including a relic of a top ghost rider in the Republic of China.

"Grandpa He said before he died that the supernatural powers of the necromancer are not complete. That is why the souls he summoned are extremely uncertain and may even be dangerous to me."

He Yiner took out an old and dilapidated item, which looked like a pipe. It was once used by the older generation of ghost riders in Taiping Ancient Town.

The next moment, the shadow of an old man with a pipe in his mouth and looking somewhat rough and sloppy suddenly appeared, hunched over, and stood behind He Yiner.

“Hiss—ha—!”

The old man whose soul was summoned took a deep puff of dry tobacco, and thick smoke mixed with a strong stench of corpse instantly spread.

"Girl, are you the new necromancer?"

The old man forced an ugly smile on his face, but fortunately He Yiner did not sense any malice.

"Yes, senior, the previous necromancer He Liansheng has passed away, and I have inherited his mantle."

He Yiner answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"This time, I would like to ask you to come forward and help deal with a mysterious place and the ghosts hidden in this city."

The old man took another puff of his cigarette. Almost all of his teeth were decayed, and even his tongue was black.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the city which was slightly different from what he remembered.

"This is... the auction house opened by old man Han Fengyuan?"

Suddenly, the old man's eyes widened, and at the same time he said a name that was unfamiliar to everyone present -

Han Fengyuan.
