Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 48 Dachang City

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Cao Yang came to Dachang City in a low-key manner. On the way here, he had already paid attention to the poster named "Thunder King" in the forum. According to Cao Yang's estimation, the knocking ghost incident is very close now, so he has to be on guard.

"Dachang City is the most unstable city in the early stage of the mysterious revival. In front, there are knocking ghosts who wiped out No. 7 Middle School, and in the back, there are starving ghosts who are washing away the ghost den. In the back, there are also ghost paintings passing by, and wishing ghosts causing trouble. Big and small things are almost non-stop."

Cao Yang strolled along the streets of Dachang City, feeling somewhat emotional.

This business trip is kept absolutely confidential. Cao Yanhua has already done a good job with Zhao Jianguo and Han Yu to ensure that they will not interfere with Cao Yang's investigation.

Moreover, Cao Yang did not carry a satellite phone. The headquarters equipped him with another device with more advanced functions, which could help Cao Yang determine Zhou Zheng's location, but the other party could not locate him in reverse.

At the same time, this device can also intercept signals from surrounding mobile phones to achieve eavesdropping effects, but it requires a very close distance and it is impossible to accurately select a specific mobile phone.

"In the original novel, Zhou Zheng is an absolutely positive character, but the fact that he went to Dachang No. 7 Middle School to give a safety lecture doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. It's hard to say whether this behavior was assigned by someone or there was some other hidden reason."

Cao Yang found a noodle shop on the roadside and tasted the special food of Dachang City, while also thinking about the plan of this action.

"Tracking is definitely not going to work. Ordinary ghost hunters can easily detect the presence of the supernatural, so I can't get too close to Zhou Zheng, otherwise there will be a risk of being caught."

Zhou Zheng's face flashed with a trace of violence. He turned around and cursed, and the veins on his thin face bulged out of anger, looking very scary. His voice was dry and hoarse, like glass scratching the ground, which made people feel uncomfortable just by listening.

"Damn it, I'm so annoyed. If you dare to scream again, I'll eat you."

"But we still have to see. Maybe he gave the satellite phone to someone else."

His name is Zhou Zheng, and he is the second person in charge of Dachang City.

Cao Yang casually sipped the last mouthful of noodles, took out the small black-tech device and began to study it.

"It's 11:00 am now. Zhou Zheng is currently...moving very quickly. He should be driving to conduct a routine inspection of the entire city."

At the same time, on the outskirts of Dachang City, an off-road vehicle was speeding on the road. Sitting in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with a face so thin that you could even see the shape and outline of his facial bones, but with a large beer belly.

I don’t know if it was an illusion or what, but there was a dull sound coming from inside the car, as if someone was humming with their mouth covered.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Zheng’s threat, the voice no longer appeared, as if it was afraid.

"Then we should first determine Zhou Zheng's movements and see if we can find anything unusual about his whereabouts. If Zhou Zheng has any contact with other people, their call records should also be intercepted."

"Woooo~!"

Zhou Zheng exuded a gloomy, haggard, and numb aura. His whole body was stiff and motionless, and his bloodshot eyes moved slightly like two dull glass beads, making people doubt whether he could still drive normally.

Cao Yang stared at the green dot on the screen. It represented the location of Zhou Zheng's satellite phone, and generally speaking, it represented Zhou Zheng's location.

In the suburbs, Zhou Zheng found a remote corner to park the car, then took out a body bag from the back seat. There seemed to be something in the body bag, still chrysalis, and the dull sound rang out again.

"Woooo~!"

Zhou Zheng impatiently unzipped the bag, and found a woman tied up in a body bag! However, the woman's hands and feet were tied up with ropes, and her mouth was wrapped with tape, so she could only make whimpering sounds and couldn't speak at all. The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and her face showed a pleading expression. "For my stability, I have to sacrifice you. After all, the headquarters doesn't want to see a person in charge resurrected and cause supernatural events, right? As long as I eat you, I can temporarily calm the restlessness of that ghost thing, and I can live a little longer."

"Woooo~!"

The young woman shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face, but Zhou Zheng ignored her and continued talking to himself.

"This ghost is not as simple as I thought. It needs to be fed. It needs many, many people."

As he spoke, Zhou Zheng's speech became slurred, and foul-smelling saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth. He was shaking like he was possessed. This situation lasted for about four or five minutes before Zhou Zheng barely recovered to normal, but his swollen belly began to wriggle strangely.

A hand, or more precisely, the outline of a hand, stretched out from under a layer of skin. The hand was a strange dark blue color, and its nails were as sharp as a knife, as if it was about to tear open the belly and poke out from inside.
The woman had never seen such a strange scene before, and she twisted her body trying to get away from this strange man.

"It's useless. If we sacrifice you, the whole Dachang City will benefit. Even if the headquarters knows about it, they will probably turn a blind eye. Just give up the idea of ​​escaping."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very soft, but it made the woman's hair stand on end, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. He held a machete in his hand, and there was still black blood on the blade.

"Click~!"

One of the woman's arms was chopped off and her face was twisted in extreme pain.

"Click~!"

Next, the other arm was chopped off, followed by the calf and thigh.
The dirt road was stained with blood, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The expression on Zhou Zheng's face was a bit crazy and greedy, as if he was venting the perverted desires in his heart.

“Hehe~!”

The sound of the beast eating lasted for half an hour before it stopped. Zhou Zheng took out a tissue and wiped the meat and blood from the corner of his mouth with an expressionless look.

"Pooh!"

He spat out a finger bone.

A blood-stained tissue fell with the wind, and Zhou Zheng left here accompanied by the roar of the engine.

"Zhou Zheng's location has stayed here for forty minutes. Is it because there is something abnormal here? Or is there some secret of his here?"

Cao Yang stayed in the shop for a full hour, during which time he kept paying attention to Zhou Zheng's location.

"It seems that he is ready to go home. It's a good opportunity for me to see if Zhou Zheng has a side that is unknown to the public. What is there in that wilderness that is worthy of the attention of a ghost rider?"

After paying the bill with the boss, Cao Yang left the noodle shop, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the suburbs where Zhou Zheng was standing.
