Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 47 Special Mission
An hour later, Cao Yang walked out expressionlessly. His face, body, and even the rotten wooden handle were all covered in blood. In the isolation room behind him, the ground and walls were covered with splattered blood and broken limbs, like a Shura hell.

"The medium of the bronze spear is the shadow. It affects the three-dimensional body through the two-dimensional shadow, but the price is that the same wound will act on the body instead of the shadow."

"Although the bronze spear is not sharp, it can easily cut through the shadow medium. But the relationship between the ghost and me is not the relationship between a shadow and its master, so the damage suffered by the ghost has no effect on me."

"It's a very useful weapon, but for now I can't afford the price, unless I can have a complete ghost body, or master the restart, or have the ability to repair the body like the trickster ghost."

Cao Yang put the bronze spear back into the container and called Hu Mingtao.

"Arrange someone to come in and clean up the situation. They need to be able to endure psychological stress."

"Got it. I'll lead the team there in person right away."

Hu Mingtao, like Cao Yang, was a practical man who didn't like to talk nonsense. He arrived at the scene within five minutes after hanging up the phone. With many years of experience in the police force, he thought he had a strong enough mentality, but the scene in front of him still made his stomach churn, and he immediately vomited against the wall with a "wow".

"Thank you for your hard work."

Cao Yang patted Hu Mingtao on the shoulder and left. Then, he found a deserted place and vomited freely.

"Maybe I need a safe house."

On the other end of the phone, Cao Yanhua lowered his voice, as if this was a very important matter. Cao Yang instinctively sensed something was wrong and asked vigilantly:

In Beichen Building, Cao Yang lay on the comfortable sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

"Ask uncle if he can help me arrange it when you have time."

Cao Yang looked at the somewhat messy office, scratched his head and sighed.

"Hello, uncle, I'm Cao Yang."

“Beep, beep, beep~!”

"What exactly are you going to do? Investigate a supernatural place?"

The office space is indeed large, but it seems a bit inappropriate to place the golden container so blatantly here. It is too ostentatious and does not fit in with his low-key and introverted style.

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Just as Cao Yang thought of Cao Yanhua, the other party called him.

"Cao Yang, the headquarters has a task now. I think you are more suitable, so I want to ask for your opinion first."

"I've basically figured out the Bronze Spear. There's only one thing left to do, which is the transaction with the peddler. Theoretically, the faster the transaction is completed, the more valuable the payment will be, but this is just my guess. Now I don't even know how to find the peddler."

When Cao Yang woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. This was the longest time Cao Yang had ever slept. It seemed that he was under a lot of pressure recently.

"No, this is a business trip investigation mission. The risk factor is not high, but the confidentiality level of this mission is very high at the headquarters. Only Professor Wang and I know about it. If you agree to go, I can tell you the details of the mission. Otherwise, I can only find another candidate."

"Can't you reveal anything?"

"That is indeed the case. Because the person under investigation is highly relevant to the headquarters, we need someone who is objective and fair enough to take over. I personally think you are more suitable, so..." "What about the configuration of the mission? Are there any strategic resources at the level of Guizhu or scapegoat?"

"It depends on the specific situation and rewards will be given according to merit. Because the mission itself is not a supernatural event, the process and results are very uncertain. The reward can only be determined after the mission is completed."

Cao Yang fell silent after hearing this.

The investigation mission was probably about a problem with a high-ranking official at the headquarters or a ghost rider, and the danger of the mission was the possible counterattack by the person being investigated. Overall, there was indeed not much danger.

"Since uncle trusts me so much, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

Cao Yang finally agreed to accept the mission.

"Believe me, this mission has made great contributions. If it is successfully completed, it will not be a problem to approve another ghost candle."

"What I am going to say next is absolutely confidential. You are not allowed to disclose it to anyone."

"The person we are investigating in this mission is Zhou Zheng, the head of Dachang City. Zhou Zheng is an excellent Interpol who has handled several supernatural incidents for the headquarters."

"But recently the headquarters discovered that Zhou Zheng's whereabouts were a little strange, and he had frequent contacts and communications with another person in charge of the headquarters."

"Another suspicious person is Zhao Kaiming, the head of Linchuan City. The headquarters' mental assessment of him is dangerous, which means he may lose control at any time and do whatever he wants by relying on his supernatural powers."

"Zhou Zheng has been with the headquarters for nearly three months, and he has used his spiritual power a lot during this period. According to the estimates of the professional team at the headquarters, it will take him ten to twenty days to revive. Of course, if he uses his abilities again during this period, this time will be advanced."

"So headquarters is worried that a madman will affect the relatively sane person in charge?"

Cao Yang asked tentatively.

"To put it simply, Zhao Kaiming's mental state is very unstable. Headquarters is worried that he will affect Zhou Zheng, so we need you to go on a business trip to Dachang City to investigate Zhou Zheng's mental state and whereabouts and make an updated assessment report on him. This will take one week."

"Zhou Zheng's code name at the headquarters is Ghost Baby. A little ghost is living in his stomach, eating his internal organs to survive, but he has hidden the specific abilities of the evil ghost. As for Zhao Kaiming, there is no record of the evil ghost's abilities and code name in his file, so this is the biggest danger of this mission."

Cao Yanhua's words shocked Cao Yang a little. In the original novel, Zhou Zheng was a truly positive character, a good criminal policeman who was conscientious and responsible. However, the original novel did not mention that there was any connection between Zhou Zheng and Zhao Kaiming.

"I will temporarily cut off your contact with the headquarters during the mission, but I will provide you with Professor Wang's private number, and he will be responsible for connecting with you throughout the entire process."

"I understand. When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow. If something unexpected happens, such as Zhou Zheng's ghost reviving ahead of schedule, or a sudden supernatural incident in Dachang City, we may also need your support. Of course, these will be included in the business trip expenses and will constitute part of the achievement."

As if afraid that Cao Yang would be dissatisfied, Cao Yanhua drew the pie big and round in advance, fearing that Cao Yang would not want to eat it.

"It's an acceptable condition, but the headquarters had better not pin all their hopes on me. After all, I have been involved in many supernatural events, and I will die if I use my supernatural powers too much. If an unexpected situation really happens, I still hope to get resources and guarantees in terms of manpower and resources."

"Of course. This investigation mission is of a very high level. Where resources are needed, they will be dispatched as quickly as possible. Don't worry about that."
