Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 4 The End
Cao Yang was approaching Peng Cheng's body, and the ghost carrying a human was also approaching Cao Yang. The ghost of the peddler did not seem to have any effect on it. However, Cao Yang was ready to fight to the death. He took a few big steps and came to the side of the body, looking at the strange man not far away with a flickering look.

The ghost peddler was wearing old-fashioned gray-green cloth and was skinny. His brown skin stuck to his muscles, like a long-dried corpse.

It carries a shoulder pole with a wooden box hung on the front end of the pole, and the back end is suspended in the air. The wind chimes that make sounds are hung on the wooden box in front.

In addition, a piece of black cloth was tightly wrapped around the peddler's face, sticking so tightly to his facial skin that the outline of his facial features could not be seen and only the shape of a head could be made out.

Cao Yang's eyes narrowed in vain. Although he couldn't see the peddler's facial features clearly, he was 100% sure that he had been targeted by the ghost peddler.

"I want a deal."

Cao Yang didn’t know how Cao Yang in the original book started his first transaction with the peddler, so he could only try using this primitive method of shouting.

From the beginning to the end, the ghost peddler's goal was to purchase evil ghosts, and Cao Yang could only pin his hopes on it.

Sure enough, after hearing the word "transaction", the ghost peddler reacted obviously. It took a few strange steps and walked towards Cao Yang's position.

Cao Yang picked up the corpse at his feet. The corpse was not very heavy. It seemed that all the flesh and blood on Peng Cheng's body had been sucked away by the strange hole in his chest.

"There's a 50-50 chance that this is the ghost the ghost peddler wants."

"Deputy Minister, the ghosts that shrouded Otsu University are gradually dispersing. The suspected evil spirits have left or been eliminated!"

After calming down, I realized that this was a big gamble, and the stakes were my own lives.

Then, the ghost peddler tore off the corpse's limbs and flesh in front of Cao Yang, and finally only a square box was left.

Cao Yanhua was suddenly stunned.

Dajing City, headquarters base.

"The transaction failed?"

The ghost peddler stretched out a shriveled hand and picked up the corpse that looked like a dead tree trunk, as if he was examining the goods.

Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, but the next second, a heart-wrenching pain penetrated into his limbs. The pain was simply unbearable for a human being, as if countless people were holding awls and stabbing your bones. But for some reason, Cao Yang did not faint despite enduring such pain.

On the contrary, Cao Yang was extremely conscious. The pain made his facial features almost twisted together, and his body curled up into a ball, unable to move.

While the ghost in the corpse had not yet fully revived, Cao Yang threw it at the feet of the ghost peddler.

"The cargo box in front is a ghost den, and there are countless evil spirits imprisoned inside. According to the actions of the person in charge just now, this cargo box should be used to store supernatural items."

The ghost peddler didn't care about Cao Yang's idea. He just hung the box on the back of the carrying pole, and the second cargo box officially returned to its place.

He didn't know whether the ghost peddler understood or not. Cao Yang only felt that the darkness around him was fading away and light was emerging. This was a sign that the ghost peddler was taking back the ghost den.

Cao Yang shouted at the ghost peddler. This was the condition he proposed. The ghost peddler in the original book gave out rewards randomly, but that didn't mean he couldn't make requests.

"Help me control the ghost carrying people."

"This is... the second cargo box?!"

"The negotiations with Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen haven't been concluded yet. Was it Peng Cheng who solved it?"

"It is now impossible to locate Peng Cheng's satellite phone. The last location was two minutes ago, in the center of the ghost den."

Han Yu reported verbatim. "I think there must be some reasons that we cannot guess or imagine, which caused the evil spirit to leave on its own initiative. The existence of the ghost den has not been studied in depth so far, and its horror is still beyond our comprehension."

Captain Zhao Jianguo expressed his views at this time.

"Wait another three minutes. If the ghosts disappear completely, send rescuers in immediately. Zhao Jianguo, you will be responsible for the aftermath. Count the names of the victims as soon as possible, and I will formulate a compensation plan as appropriate. Oh, and let Li Jun go. If Peng Cheng is confirmed dead, the ghost in his body may cause a lot of trouble."

After receiving the instructions, Zhao Jianguo immediately prepared to go to the scene in person. If he behaved well, he might not be seriously held accountable afterwards.

"The ghost den has completely disappeared. The satellite image shows that there are 30 to 40 bodies piled up in the northwest of the campus. It is currently unclear whether there are any survivors."

"I understand. Please keep following up and report any situation at any time."

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Jianguo and Li Jun successfully arrived at Dajin University.

Li Jun was wearing a military uniform, and his expression was intimidating without even getting angry. He exuded a sinister green light, which reflected on his resolute face and made him look as terrifying as a real evil spirit.

The eerie green color quickly spread throughout the entire campus, and clusters of strange and cold green flames ignited around. The flames could ignite all ghosts, and even real evil spirits would be burned by the flames and suffer serious trauma.

"Hi~!"

Cao Yang suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't know when he lost consciousness and passed out, but at this moment a burning pain stimulated him and woke him up from his coma.

"Is this a will-o'-the-wisp?"

Cao Yang saw clusters of green flames jumping on his body, and the flames used him as fuel to burn fiercely. Before he could recover, Li Jun had already lifted Cao Yang up with his broad palm.

"A survivor who managed to control a ghost?"

Will-o'-the-wisp will only ignite supernatural beings. After noticing the abnormality, Li Jun came to Cao Yang as soon as possible. After confirming that there were no other supernatural beings on campus, Li Jun retracted the ghost den. Keeping the ghost den open for a long time would greatly stimulate the revival of the will-o'-the-wisp.

Cao Yang had already recognized the person. His intimidating expression, methodical movements, and the iconic green will-o'-the-wisp, who else could it be but Li Jun?

"Captain Zhao, the campus is safe now, and rescue can be arranged. In addition, I found a student who was lucky enough to become a ghost rider, you can communicate with him."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Li Jun. I'll arrange it right away."

A moment later, Li Jun and Cao Yang successfully reunited with Zhao Jianguo.

"Young man, first of all, congratulations on surviving the supernatural incident. I am the captain of the domestic supernatural incident department. I have some questions about the supernatural incident just now. I hope you can cooperate with us in the relevant investigation. What do you think, sir?"

Zhao Jianguo spoke in a steady tone, giving people a sense of trust. He saw that Cao Yang's expression was relatively calm, and he had not lost his mind or become mentally ill because of the supernatural events. This showed that the other party had a strong psychological quality and was very suitable to be recruited as a member of the headquarters.

"I feel very uncomfortable now. Could you please arrange for me to rest first?"

Cao Yang deliberately avoided Zhao Jianguo's question. On the way here, he had realized that he had successfully controlled the ghost. But there seemed to be another kind of spirit in his body, which came from the ghost peddler, but he needed some time to sort it out.

"Okay, I'll help you arrange it. If you have any clues or details about this incident in the future, you can call this number and the department will cooperate with you in recording the files at any time."

As he spoke, Zhao Jianguo handed Cao Yang a piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it.

"Thanks, I'll consider it."
