Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 63 Zhongshan (Please vote for recommendation! Please read on!)

The next day, the headquarters sent two groups of people. The first group was responsible for distributing reward materials. The materials included two red ghost candles, one white ghost candle, and a supernatural item code-named bionic mirror. Cao Yang happily accepted all of them.

As for the second group, there was only one person, and he was a ghost rider. He was carrying a golden suitcase in each hand, which obviously contained supplies. However, this person walked up and down, as if he had sprained his ankle. However, Cao Yang found that this person had different legs, and his right leg was obviously longer than his left leg. This was not a feature of a normal person, and it should be related to the ghost he rode.

"Hello Cao Yang, I am Zhong Shan, the person in charge of Dachang City. I have been dispatched by the headquarters to Dajin City to assist you in investigating the supernatural incident suspected of ghost painting."

Zhong Shan's face was sallow and dull, which was a sign of bad luck, as described by those charlatans. He was obviously not going to live long. But Cao Yang could feel that Zhong Shan was not a simple person. Although his face looked bad, he was in very good condition and mentally normal, without any obvious signs of being eroded by evil spirits.

"Dachang City is quite far from my Dajin City. The headquarters also took great pains to invite you here. Thank you for your hard work."

Cao Yang said with a smile, and his tone was also very polite. Although Zhong Shan did not have a very eye-catching performance in the original novel, the person who was defined as a top ghost rider by Yang Jian, who had just arrived in Dajing City, obviously could not be a fake.

"It's not far. I just happened to come to Dajing City to do some business with the headquarters. Now that the business is done, it's naturally difficult for me to refuse the headquarters' dispatch."

Zhongshan is not arrogant, and there is nothing unusual in his tone. His attitude is humble and neither overbearing nor servile. No wonder he can still shine in the final moments of the original national war plot.

Although Zhong Shan did not say it explicitly, Cao Yang probably guessed what he meant. The person in charge of the city would not come to the Dajing City Headquarters easily. Zhong Shan came to Dajing probably to get a place in the experiment of controlling a second ghost, and the experiment was successful. Therefore, Zhong Shan is in high spirits now, and of course he would not easily refuse the dispatch of the headquarters.

Now that the polite words have been spoken, it’s time to get down to business.

Cao Yang took a suitcase with a smile and accepted it without hesitation.

Cao Yang's eyes moved slightly. Zhong Shan brought two, and he just got two. During the last Da'an City Cultural Palace incident, he directly approved three. It seems that the output of ghost candles at the headquarters is not low now.

"There are two ghost candles in the suitcase. They are the supplies for this operation. If it is confirmed to be a ghost painting incident, the headquarters will send more help. If it is an ordinary supernatural incident, the deputy minister requires you and I to work together to solve it as soon as possible. The remaining ghost candles will be regarded as the reward for solving the incident."

"Two ghost candles? Can ghost candles be mass-produced now?"

Zhong Shan smiled. He had just controlled the second ghost to delay the resurrection of the evil ghost, and now he had the ghost candle to take. He felt that his life had the possibility of taking off.

"It would be great if we had a ghost candle. At least our lives would be safe, and we wouldn't be killed instantly by a ghost the moment we meet them."

"Here are some photos of the scene, you can take a look first. After reporting to the headquarters yesterday, I have completely blocked off the area. In addition, I have also issued a notice to suspend all art exhibitions in the city. All art galleries and museums are closed unconditionally until the ban is lifted."

Zhong Shan also looked at the photos, and like Cao Yang, his expression became solemn and cautious.

"If I were you, I would probably do the same thing. There's no problem with this. I've read the files on the ghost painting incident. A team of ghost riders from abroad once tried to solve the incident. Although they were eventually wiped out, someone risked his life to leave a golden candlestick on the ghost's body, which should have some influence on the ghost's killing." Zhong Shan told them the information he had learned, but at this stage no ghost rider was willing to take the initiative to participate in the ghost painting incident, let alone solve it.

"Anyway, let's patrol the entire city today. The deadline for this mission is three days. Even if the source of the evil spirit is a dog, it will be enough to kill many people and cause supernatural events in three days. The two of us ghost drivers will definitely be able to detect it immediately."

Cao Yang then notified Hu Mingtao and asked him to arrange today's duty work and make sure that someone in the detachment he led could complete the evacuation and dispatch work as quickly as possible. Hu Mingtao took up the task with a solemn vow.

"That makes sense. Then let's do it. If we waste too much time, we won't be able to finish the work. I never work overtime."

Zhong Shan said jokingly. The two immediately drove to start another inspection of Otsu City.

"By the way, Zhong Shan, can you please tell me about the supernatural information you have? If I need to solve a supernatural incident, I personally think the intelligence of my teammates is very important. It would be bad if they were accidentally injured."

Cao Yang asked tentatively while driving. Although he knew that the possibility of being accidentally injured was small, he was indeed curious about the other party's abilities.

"That's true. I checked your file before coming here, but it was blank. Otsu City is your territory after all. As the host, why don't you tell us first?"

Zhong Shan did not refuse directly. He was also curious about Cao Yang. If the other party was willing to reveal it, then it would be fine for him to reveal part of it. Although the possibility of being accidentally injured was small, it was not impossible, and he did not want to be backstabbed by his teammates.

Cao Yang thought for a moment and said slowly:

"I have a ghost den. Although it's not very large, I can still take you out of danger in most situations. I won't tell you the specific code names of the evil spirits. Anyway, you'd better not fall in my ghost den."

But unexpectedly, Zhong Shan smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"That's really unfortunate. I guess you've seen it. I'm Long-Short Legs. This long leg is the ghost I control. Anyone tripped by this leg will definitely die. Even evil spirits will fall into a short period of silence. That's why I call it the 'tripping ghost.' But you have to keep it a secret for me. Like you, I didn't leave any information at the headquarters."

"My legs are so short that I might fall easily. If you are going to go somewhere strange, please let me know in advance so I can try to avoid it."

"That's natural."

Cao Yang silently took note of Zhong Shan's information, and they both tacitly revealed only the news about one ghost. Perhaps Zhong Shan didn't know that Cao Yang controlled the second ghost, but the fact that he had a ghost den was enough for him to pay attention.

However, Zhongshan's supernatural powers are quite compatible with the gravity ghost. The ghost that is tripped will inevitably trigger the law of imbalance and death. As long as the ghost is not too fierce, the two of them can easily solve a C-level or even B-level incident by working together.
