Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 64: The plan for screening the ghost den (Please recommend! Please read on!)
"Based on the results of the current inspection, Otsu City is very safe. Aside from Wangji District, there are no signs of any suspected supernatural events in this city."

In the evening, Zhong Shan leaned against the car door and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Indeed, we even visited several large art exhibitions and art galleries, and indeed did not find any signs of ghost paintings."

Cao Yang sighed helplessly.

"But this is also a good thing, isn't it? If it is really a ghost painting incident, let alone how many ordinary people will die, ghost riders like you and me will probably have no chance of survival in front of that ghost. That would be the time of true despair."

Zhong Shan nodded with a wry smile. No one wanted an S-level incident to break out in any city. Everyone's simplest goal was to live longer.

"That's true. How about we leave it at that for today? Ghost riders also need to rest. A ghost rider who works non-stop is no different from being exploited."

"Okay, I have no objection."

The two said goodbye, Zhong Shan returned to the hotel to rest, while Cao Yang stayed in Beichen Building.

"I remember that the pattern of the ghost painting is related to memory. If someone in Otsu City has actually seen the painting, then at some point they will inevitably recall the appearance of the painting, and then trigger the murder pattern of the ghost painting."

“Is it possible that the ghost paintings were once window decorations on ghost windows?!”

"There are still two days left. If the ghost painting is really in my Otsu City, Mr. Qin may take action directly. What will happen if I can get a derivative ghost painting and then embed this painting into the derivative ghost window?"

Zhong Shan casually threw the documents aside. Some cases could be judged to have nothing to do with supernatural events with just one glance, but such ordinary cases accounted for 90%.

Silent all night.

Cao Yang suddenly realized that he had a derived ghost window in his hand. The two were quite similar in some ways and both could lead to entering the inner world.

In the office of Beichen Building, Cao Yang was recalling his information about the ghost paintings in the original novel.

The next morning, Cao Yang and Zhong Shan met up again and conducted a second, more detailed inspection of the city. Today's focus was on the obviously suspicious disappearances that had occurred in recent days. Hu Mingtao had already completed the statistics and the files had been delivered to the two.

When this absurd idea came up, Cao Yang himself felt a little abstract. The ghost window was indeed scary, but it seemed that the ghost painting was better. Even if the two ghosts might have some kind of puzzle relationship, it was most likely that the ghost window was a puzzle of the ghost painting.

"What is certain is that I have never seen that painting, and it will not trigger the murder pattern."

"Most of the ghost paintings in the original novel are based on a woman in red, the main difference is the background of the oil painting..."

"It doesn't look like a problem. For a city with a population of over ten million, the disappearance of ten people a day is not even as big as the waves caused by a stone falling into the sea, not to mention that there have been less than a hundred disappearances in the past week."

Although he went to art exhibitions and art galleries, Cao Yang was sure that he had never seen any painting that met the characteristics of a ghost painting.

"There are 13 million people in Otsu City. It is almost harder than climbing to the sky to find these 100 people. Moreover, people are mobile. Among the files compiled by Hu Mingtao, the longest one who has been out of contact is no more than ten days. It is really of little reference value."

Cao Yang also gave up analyzing these cases and said bitterly.

“In fact, it is not difficult to determine whether there are any potential dangers in Otsu City.” Zhong Shan rolled his eyes and said in a low voice.

"As long as you can hold on, you can just use the ghost den to screen them. But as is generally recognized in the supernatural circle, the ghost den is indeed very powerful, but at the same time, the revival of these evil spirits is also very fast and violent."

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps we can let Li Jun give it a try. His will-o'-the-wisp can ignite spirits and burn evil spirits. If there really is a ghost hiding in Otsu City, Li Jun can easily find it, and it shouldn't be difficult for the three of us to deal with it together. Of course, if it's a ghost painting, we can only ask for more people, although I don't think the current headquarters can form a team stronger than the top foreign ghost-controlling team back then."

Zhong Shan paused and continued.

"Ghosts have a killing pattern that is like a program. It is impossible for the person in charge to predict who will trigger the pattern and when to be killed. If a ghost does not appear on its own, the possibility of the ghost controller finding it is extremely low. For example, the number one ghost on the list, Ghost Call, has never been investigated by anyone for clues."

After saying so much, Cao Yang roughly guessed Zhongshan's thoughts. It was indeed difficult for the two of them to find a ghost hidden in such a big city. Instead of wasting energy, it would be better to let Li Jun use the ghost den to thoroughly search the entire city.

As for why it was Li Jun, the reason was very simple. First, the ghost fire was special enough to ignite the spirits and burn the evil spirits, and it had a ghost den. Secondly, Li Jun's identity was Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard and the top ghost rider in the headquarters. Even if there was a problem with the recovery, the headquarters would not give up.

"What do you think?"

Zhong Shan leaned over and asked tentatively, and Cao Yang then thought of another reason - the ghost candle.

"There probably isn't a better way. My ghost den is too small. I'm afraid that before I can even sift through Otsu City, my evil spirit will be revived."

Cao Yang did not reject Zhong Shan's proposal, but directly took out the satellite phone to contact Zhao Jianguo. Although Li Jun would recover if he was overused, the headquarters could not give up on him at present, and this was the plan with the least loss.

"Han Yu, please find Zhao Jianguo. The situation here is a bit complicated. We need to talk to him."

"Okay, I'll go call the captain over now."

As efficient as ever, Zhao Jianguo picked up the phone in less than a minute.

"I'm Zhao Jianguo, Cao Yang, have you guys made any important discoveries?"

"It's like this. Zhong Shan and I have screened the entire Dajin City these past two days, but we didn't find anything substantial. We thought we could ask Li Jun to come and use the will-o'-the-wisp to filter the entire city."

"This is probably difficult. Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp has a ghost den, but if he uses the ghost den to filter a large city, he will definitely revive the evil spirits."

"But the headquarters can't give up on Li Jun, right? I'm sorry, but this is the only solution. If the ghost painting hides itself, it will be impossible for Zhongshan and I to find it. If it turns out to be an ordinary supernatural event, even if Li Jun is in a very bad state, it shouldn't be difficult to solve it with Zhongshan and I working together."

"this…"

Zhao Jianguo was a little hesitant. He understood what Cao Yang meant. Using the Ghost Den screening was indeed the safest approach, but it was unfair to Li Jun. If he used the Ghost Den at this frequency, Li Jun might not be able to last even a week.

"Let me ask the minister. I don't have the authority to make a decision on your request."
