Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 56 Telephone
Beichen Building, Cao Yang also came back after the ghost peddler left, and at the same time lifted the blockade of the forest park.

"The Ghost Peddler didn't pay me any money for the goods. Can I understand that it has met my requirements? Will it dismantle its own puzzle to pay for the goods in the next transaction?"

Cao Yang stroked his chin, thinking about something.

"Even though I haven't used the power of the evil spirit recently, the problem of resurgence is still unavoidable. We have to capture He Tianxiong as soon as possible."

"As long as the trampling ghost joins, the gravity ghost will have to fight against the trampling ghost on top and balance the carrying ghost on the bottom. The three ghosts will be able to form a perfect balance."

"Dingle bell~!"

While Cao Yang was thinking, an unfamiliar phone call came in and the screen showed... Dachang City.

"Yan Li?"

Cao Yang answered the phone with confusion.

"Cao Yang?"

Yan Li's tone suddenly turned cold, but Cao Yang didn't care.

"If you have any problem, come to me. Don't touch my wife and children. They are innocent."

"I do want to discuss cooperation with you, or more precisely, an acquisition project. I know that you are very close to the resurrection of the evil spirit, and your death will inevitably cause another supernatural event. The headquarters naturally does not want this to happen."

"I'm Yan Li. What do you want from me? There's no need to say any more polite and false words. I'm not a businessman. I don't have any cooperation to discuss with you."

Yan Li's tone was full of vigilance towards Cao Yang, which was his instinctive caution and suspicion as a ghost rider.

"It's me. You must be Yan Li."

"Don't bother with that. I know my situation very well. I'm not going to die soon. I'm not interested in your acquisition project. You should look for someone else."

Yan Li had no doubts about Cao Yang's identity, because it was impossible for someone without an official background to find such detailed information.

Cao Yang said kindly.

"Then allow me to introduce myself first. I am Interpol from Otsu City. I was on a business trip to Dachang City last week. Due to some special reasons, I learned about your existence, a ghost rider who is not far from reviving a fierce ghost."

"You want to buy this ghost in my body?!"

"Don't refuse so quickly. I believe you should have no doubts about my identity. Although I don't know why you are unwilling to cooperate, from my personal perspective, I can reveal some inside information to you."

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. He didn't sound very old, probably in his twenties.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Just now I mentioned that I was on a business trip in Dachang City last week, during which time an A-level incident occurred in Dachang City. Although you are a civilian ghost charioteer, you should be aware of the significance of an A-level incident. The location of this incident is in Dachang City. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate it on the spot."

"In addition, the ghost was not imprisoned. I just used some means to temporarily lead it away. It is hard to say when it will return to Dachang City and cause trouble. This is the first reason. Secondly, there is still a ghost lurking in Dachang City, and it may explode at any time. To be frank, Dachang City is not safe at all now."

"From your first statement, I can be sure that you care about your family very much, but you have not thought about who can take care of them if you die. Cooperate with me, I can help you arrange for them to live in Dajing City. Although it is not 100% safe, it is definitely much better than the current Dachang City, which is full of holes." "I just want to avoid supernatural events as much as possible. I have investigated and found that you have not done anything bad after becoming a ghost rider. You are just trying to make money to support your family. But there are other folk ghost riders in Dachang City, and they are completely opposite to you."

Yan Li couldn't help but feel shocked. Cao Yang had done an in-depth investigation into Dachang City. He certainly knew who the other folk ghost riders he was talking about were, but he didn't expect that the other party had found out about all these.

"Sorry, I won't consider it for now. Maybe it will be useful someday in the future. I may contact you then. I hope you will keep your word."

Seeing Yan Li's attitude softened, Cao Yang was no longer in a hurry and spoke slowly.

"Of course, you have your own way of living, but I can guarantee that I will buy your ghost at the market price, which is 2-3 million. In addition, your family will also be treated preferentially in Dajing City."

Yan Li didn't say anything, just hung up the phone silently.

"This Cao Yang is not a simple person. He knows the situation in Dachang City very well, and he is not exaggerating. There have been rumors of evil spirits eating people in recent days, and the people in the club are indeed scum. His proposal can be considered, but not now."

"There is a suspected ghost in the Furen Shopping Mall. The boss is offering a high reward, so maybe I can give it a try. A ghost that only lingers in the mall won't be very dangerous. I can definitely detain it in my current state."

Yan Li rubbed his hands with golden gloves. The skin on his wrists was a strange red color, as if the blood was blocked there.

Cao Yang could guess a little about Yan Li's concerns. He just wanted to try to imprison the ghost in the mall before he died. Besides that, it was normal for him to doubt a stranger who appeared out of nowhere like him.

"Yan Li is not a bad person. I can try to contact him again after the Furen Shopping Center incident. There is no reason for his family to be killed by those beasts. This world is already hopeless enough. Let's save as many people as possible."

Cao Yang felt a little emotional. The Xiaoqiang Club in the original book was indeed a bad club. An innocent man was guilty of possessing a treasure. Since he had the ability to save Yan Li's family, he might as well bring some kindness to the world.

"Han Yu, help me pay attention to the recent supernatural events in Dachang City, including but not limited to those caused by evil spirits. We should also pay attention to folk ghost handlers, as many of them are unstable factors."

"Also, send me a summary of the recent paranormal events around Otsu City. I will consider resolving them as appropriate. In addition, help me investigate all the paranormal events recorded at the headquarters to see if there are any related to BWG. This is very important. The other two things can be put aside for later."

"Understood. I will start preparing the investigation file now and expect to get the results within two days."

"can."

As soon as Cao Yang hung up, another call came in on his private cell phone from an unfamiliar number.

"Hey?"

"Cao Yang, right? You pulled me off the bus last time, and I still haven't settled the score with you. Give me that supernatural item, and we'll be even. Otherwise, I'll come to pick it up."

The person who called was Jiang Shangbai. His tone was very aggressive. Cao Yang guessed that he had controlled the second ghost and now his confidence was swelled and he wanted to get back at him.

"It's ridiculous. If you really have the ability, just kill me and the things will be yours. You're so smart to call me and threaten me. But this is consistent with my impression of you. You bully the weak and fear the strong. You don't know your own weight."

A trace of ferocity flashed across Cao Yang's face. He was just worrying about what excuse to post on WeChat Moments, but he didn't expect that idiot Jiang Shangbai would come to him.

"Jiang Shangbai has Fang Shiming's support behind him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to threaten me. And given their style of doing things, they probably wouldn't send just one person to deal with me, so the probability that He Tianxiong will appear with him is very high."

"How can I refuse a gift from a ghost who has sent it to my door? Come on, the Death Card will give you enough surprises."
