Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 39 Ghost Candle
The green ghost fire burned very vigorously, and all the shadow puppets made painful and wailing expressions. At the same time, there was a disgusting burnt smell. Even Cao Yang and Chen Xi felt a tingling sensation on their skin.

The will-o'-the-wisp was retracted, and a strong middle-aged man wearing sunglasses appeared in front of Cao Yang. Chen Xi in Room 1202 was also transferred out by Li Jun using the ghost den.

"Cao Yang? I didn't expect it was really you."

The expression on Li Jun's face was intimidating without being angry, but he was still a little surprised after seeing Cao Yang. However, he still followed the order and took out a ghost candle and handed it to Cao Yang.

"Ghost Candle, this is a material specially approved by the headquarters. With this thing, we should be able to solve this incident by working together."

Cao Yang took the scarlet and cold ghost candle. The color was extremely bright, as if it was made of blood.

"What about mine? You don't even give me my stuff and you want me to solve the incident?"

Chen Xi, wearing a gas mask, shouted, and his dissatisfaction was very obvious in his words.

Li Jun thought for a moment, took out another ghost candle from his arms, handed it to Chen Xi, and said righteously:

"I can give you the Ghost Candle. Even if it's an advance reward for solving this incident, you can give priority to using my and Cao Yang's Ghost Candles in this incident. But you have to promise to cooperate fully and don't play any tricks on me."

"I have tried it on the way here. I cannot invade the ghost cave of will-o'-the-wisp. The ghost cave of shadow puppets is very special and only exists in a two-dimensional plane. The will-o'-the-wisp can penetrate it, but it cannot bring me into the two-dimensional level."

"No, a ghost rider's life is also a life, and in terms of value, a ghost rider is naturally more important than an ordinary person."

This was like giving someone a free gift after a blow, and Chen Xi had no objection.

"I can cooperate, but I can't die. I'm not a soldier of the headquarters, but I'm still helping the headquarters. If you dare to treat me as a consumable, don't blame me for taking the money and running away."

"arrive."

"Chen Xi, you stay outside while Cao Yang and I go in to handle it. If we encounter an emergency, I hope you can support us for Gui Zhu's sake. After all, if we fail, Da'an will be finished, and you won't be able to escape."

"Let's go now."

The Central Building is very close to the Cultural Palace. Normally, Li Jun would never be so extravagant as to use a ghost to travel, but today he did so. Along the way, most of the shadow puppets were set on fire by the eerie green ghost fire, and the air was filled with the stench of burning corpses.

"Finally, it is basically confirmed that there are two ghosts in the Cultural Palace incident. One of them is codenamed 'Ghost Taolou'. This ghost has not yet spread out. The one that has spread out is this shadow puppet ghost. I decided to name it 'Ghost Shadow Puppet'."

"The source of the incident is the Cultural Palace. According to the latest intelligence compiled by the headquarters, there are many pottery figurines in the Cultural Palace, which are suspected to have been infected by the spirits and turned into ghost slaves. In addition, there are these shadow puppets. Professor Wang speculated that the shadow puppets are the ghost dens of evil spirits. Each human skin shadow puppet carries a small piece of the ghost den. Only when they are put together can they form a complete ghost den."

"That's best."

Li Jun shared the intelligence compiled by the headquarters with the two.

Chen Xi snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"The source of the incident is in the underground exhibition area of ​​the Cultural Palace. The Ghost Pottery Building is a three-story building about ten meters high."

In front of the Cultural Palace, which was blocked by layers of cordons, the figures of Li Jun and the other two suddenly appeared. There were more human skin shadow puppets gathered here, and some of them even combined together strangely, forming a large dark and thick shadow.

Cao Yang came out in time to smooth things over. If Li Jun, who was so stubborn, was allowed to continue speaking at this time, this temporary cooperation group might have an internal conflict before it was even established.

Li Jun said.

"Yes, Guizhu does have more face than you."

Chen Xi responded in a sly way. Cao Yang had no objection to Li Jun's arrangement. The information given by Old Qin mentioned that the location of the ghost armor was the underground palace, and the Cultural Palace happened to have an underground exhibition area, which made it difficult for Cao Yang not to connect the two together.

The two walked down the exhibition area. Due to the spread of the supernatural, the lights here had completely gone out, and the circuits had also been disrupted. The entire underground floor was pitch black, and from time to time there was a "sizzling" sound of electricity.

"Tap tap~!"

“Clang clang clang~!”

It seemed like someone was walking around, and he seemed to be wearing metal clothes, which kept making collision sounds.

The green will-o'-the-wisp instantly covered the floor, and a three-story earthy yellow pottery building came into view. This pottery building had vertical railings and horizontal sills, and was finely carved and looked very delicate, but at the bottom of the pottery building, Cao Yang saw several figures wandering there.

Without hesitation, Li Jun rushed directly into the first floor of the Ghost Pottery Building. The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. He could see clearly that they were not living people at all, but clay figurines with earthy yellow skin.

"It should be the ghost slave. After all, you also said that the code name of this ghost is Gui Taolou."

Cao Yang made such judgment.

"Ghost slave? Then just burn it."

The ghost fire flickered, and the bodies of the terracotta warriors were instantly covered with green flames, but the strange thing was that there was no flame rising from the ground here, and the ghost fire could not ignite the terracotta building.

Suddenly, the pottery building began to shake violently, as if it was about to collapse. Cao Yang and Li Jun each opened their ghost dens and tried to leave, but everything happened too quickly, and the inside of the pottery building was equivalent to the ghost den of the ghost pottery building. The two people who went deep into it only felt that the scene in front of them changed rapidly and finally returned to darkness.

"here it is?"

The sudden change did not cause any harm to Cao Yang. He speculated that Gui Taolou had used the ghost den to separate himself and Li Jun.

"Tap tap~!"

The sound of heavy footsteps was heard again around him, as if the terracotta warriors were approaching him again. At the same time, Cao Yang also determined through his instinct as a ghost that something was indeed approaching.

Gravity was changed. With Cao Yang as the center, the gravity within five meters around was completely disordered. The ghost carrying the person on his back also attacked the terracotta warrior that triggered the law. The double death law of carrying the person on his back and imbalance worked perfectly together. In less than two minutes, the surroundings became dead silent again.

The gravity ghost's den did not have night vision, so Cao Yang had to light the ghost candle in order to see the environment clearly. The green flame dispelled some of the darkness nearby and barely illuminated the area of ​​about two or three meters.

The flame of the ghost candle was very stable, which proved that there were no evil spirits nearby, but the burning speed seemed a bit fast. However, Cao Yang had never used a ghost candle before, so he didn't know how fast it burned under normal circumstances.

"This seems to be the third floor of Guitao Building."

Cao Yang groped his way to a window, and outside was a thick darkness. Cao Yang extended the ghost candle, dispelling a little bit of darkness, and roughly determined his current position.

"It doesn't matter if I separate from Li Jun. My target is Gui Jia, and secondly, we need to cooperate to solve this incident."

Cao Yang was thinking in his mind.

"哐啷哐啷~"

There was a sound of metal colliding in the darkness not far away, and it seemed that another terracotta ghost slave had appeared.
