Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 50 Connection
Linchuan City is a small city surrounding Dachang City. The economy here is not developed, but there is an Interpol officer here, which makes it destined to be extraordinary.

Fujiang Building was the office location chosen by Zhao Kaiming, the head of Linchuan City, after he took office. At this moment, Zhao Kaiming hung up the phone in his hand with a gloomy face and threw the phone aside.

"Damn it, Zhou Zheng dared to threaten me. If you weren't greedy for my body, would I have to endure this?!"

Zhao Kaiming vomited and roared at the air around him, but he was the only one here. No, as he finished speaking, an illusory and blurry figure appeared. It was not clear, but Zhao Kaiming could clearly see that there was an inexplicable ferocity and hostility in the eyes of that thing.

"When Zhou Zheng dies, I will take over as the person in charge of Dachang City. You'd better fulfill your promise by then, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Zhao Kaiming lowered his voice, but the expression on his face became crazy, and there was a bit of cruelty in his eyes, as if he had been deeply affected by the evil spirit.

There was no doubt that the thing next to him was a ghost, and he was a poor guy who was naive enough to think he could make a deal with a ghost or even threaten the evil spirit.

Dachang City, Twin Towers, Cao Yang looked a little heavy after eavesdropping.

"I didn't expect that Zhou Zhengzhen and Zhao Kaiming had some unspeakable secret. But it's not hard to imagine that the wishing ghost influenced Zhao Kaiming and made him lose his mind, and its purpose was to obtain a strong body."

"The ghost baby in Zhou Zheng's belly is what the wishing ghost has been coveting for a long time, so it controls Zhao Kaiming and indirectly affects Zhou Zheng's mental state. As long as the ghost baby develops, the wishing ghost can directly take over."

Cao Yang left the Twin Towers. He estimated that Zhou Zheng would not make any further moves for a while. He did not intend to play the recording to Wang Xiaoming, but he could reveal the information that Zhou Zheng had mental problems.

"About 20 to 30 percent. His mental state is not right, and the degree of resurrection of the evil spirits is very high. You also know that the evil spirits that a ghost rider can mobilize in this state are stronger, so..."

Cao Yang thought about it and felt that it would not be a problem for him to fight Zhou Zheng alone, but if something happened to the ghost baby, the wishing ghost would probably get angry, and now he would be dead if he faced the wishing ghost.

……

Wang Xiaoming suddenly asked.

"Yes, from the intermittent conversations I overheard, I can tell that Zhou Zheng's emotions are very unstable. Similarly, Zhao Kaiming should also be a dangerous person. There seems to be some agreement between him and Zhou Zheng, but the conversation did not elaborate."

"If you forcefully detain Zhou Zheng, how confident are you?"

"Is this so..."

"So, you suspect that Zhou Zheng's current condition is already very problematic?"

"Maybe Zhou Zheng has been affected by the wishing ghost's spirit."

"My suggestion is to wait and see. A ghost rider with mental problems is very dangerous. If he dares to eat humans today, he will dare to eat ghosts tomorrow. I have offended him now, and maybe he will eat me too."

"Are you worried? Or are you worried about the uncontrollable unknown factors that may be caused by Zhao Kaiming's interference?"

In the laboratory, Wang Xiaoming did not question Cao Yang's words, but began to think about the reasons from Cao Yang's perspective.

After returning to the hotel, Cao Yang called Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming was a little surprised. He thought that since Cao Yang controlled two ghosts, it should not be difficult for him to deal with Zhou Zheng who only controlled one ghost, but the other party gave such an answer.

Cao Yang was not lying. It was not difficult to detain Zhou Zheng, but if the Wishing Ghost and Zhao Kaiming were guarding near Dachang City, it would be difficult for him to return alive to report.

Cao Yang said in an exaggerated tone.

"Indeed, your worries are correct. Unstable ghost riders are even more dangerous than some evil spirits. It is indeed irrational to reveal the truth to Zhou Zheng at this time."

Wang Xiaoming agreed with Cao Yang's statement. It was always better to be cautious. "You should continue to follow up and investigate. If Zhou Zheng has no substantive anti-human and anti-social behavior, then it is still within the acceptable range."

"understood."

After the call ended, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Cao Yang lay back on the bed feeling a little tired.

“Beep~”

This is the notification sound for forum posters to update, and Cao Yang only follows one person in the entire forum.

Cao Yang quickly sat up and picked up his phone to check. Sure enough, it was the doctor who updated.

"I am a doctor at the Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of a certain province. Let me tell you something. Recently, a very scary thing happened in my hospital. Now I am too scared to go to work and am on vacation at home."

Although he only casually read a few lines, Cao Yang was already certain of one thing - the plot of the original novel would unfold from this moment on.

"Yang Jian will also see this post at midnight today. If the reason why Zhou Zheng came to No. 7 Middle School is that he is preparing to release the starving ghosts, then Zhou Zheng's luck is really bad. He just happened to choose a cursed school."

Cao Yang felt a little emotional. The reason why he did not tell Wang Xiaoming the entire recording of the call just now was to ensure that the plot of the original novel would not be affected. Only in this case could he accurately avoid incidents such as starving ghosts and ghost messengers and prevent himself from being affected.

"But since I've come here, if I go back without doing anything, there won't be any credit. Wouldn't that mean I've come here for nothing?"

"The ghost baby escaped, maybe I can 'solve' the knocking ghost incident. No, in the judgment of the headquarters, as long as the evil ghost can be lured away and no longer kill people, it will also be considered a credit. And luring away the knocking ghost is a simple matter."

Cao Yang continued to look through the post, and a photo appeared before his eyes.

"It's quite clear, which means that the poster has not yet been corrupted and turned into a ghost slave."

The photo shows an old man wearing a black jumpsuit, which looks a bit retro, skinny, dark brown skin, and spots all over it. From the angle of the photo, you can see one of the old man's eyes: gray, empty, without a trace of spirit, and with a kind of shocking dead silence.

"Forget it, I won't watch it. The next thing is that the empty nesters will come knocking on the door. I'll just save the audio of the knocking ghost later."

"Let me think, where should I lead this ghost?"

Cao Yang is very different from Yang Jian. In his early days, Yang Jian was a complete antisocial person. He used the audio of the knocking ghost to kill many ghost riders, and many ordinary people also died because of him. Cao Yang would naturally not do that.

"Taiping Inn is not bad. If we can lead the knocking ghost to the mysterious place where the inn is, it won't come out and cause trouble for a while."

While thinking, Cao Yang made another call:
"Hello, Senior?"

"Oh? Young man, why are you calling me so late? Is there any big business that you want to talk to me about?"

Boss Liu's voice came from the other end of the phone. Although Cao Yang himself couldn't lure the knocker over, he knew Boss Liu, the real owner of the Taiping Inn.

“That’s the senior.”

Cao Yang roughly relayed his idea. He only needed to assign a death row prisoner to Boss Liu, and then let him force the prisoner into the inn. Then he could play the audio of the knocking ghost to the prisoner. In this way, he could perfectly attract ghosts. Moreover, there were so many doors in the inn. The addition of the knocking ghost was enough to make the ghosts staying in the inn drink a pot.

"I see. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I'll take the job, boss. But what about the reward?"

"How can I treat you badly, Senior?"
