Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 7 Handshake
After completing the plan, Cao Yang went through the two posts again from beginning to end to make sure he had not missed any details before calling Zhao Jianguo.

"My name is Cao Yang. I have learned almost all the basic knowledge about the psychic world. I would like to apply for a specially made golden pistol and a batch of golden bullets. Can you help me get it?"

Cao Yang never liked to say those polite words, so he asked directly to the point.

"Sure, I'll help you finish equipping these two supplies as soon as possible, and if nothing goes wrong, they can be delivered to the hotel tonight. I'd like to ask, Cao Yang, are you going to solve the supernatural incident?"

Zhao Jianguo keenly noticed something. If it weren't for the supernatural events, many responsible persons would not deliberately ask for these two things.

"To be honest, it's true. Something happened at a friend's home, and I'm going to go take a look. Maybe I can help."

Cao Yang did not hide anything, but what he said was a mixture of truth and lies.

"Good boy, you don't believe me."

Of course Zhao Jianguo could tell that Cao Yang was being perfunctory, but when he thought of the other party's background, he gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions.

"Of course there is no problem with that. Just be careful. Remember to bring your satellite phone. If you encounter any supernatural events, it is best to report them in time. If you are in danger, you can also use the emergency rescue function. The headquarters will recruit ghost riders for support."

The next morning, Cao Yang boarded a plane to Dashi City. With the certificate issued by the headquarters, he avoided a lot of trouble along the way. Before leaving, Cao Yang edited a text message for help. As long as he pressed send, the text message would be sent to the headquarters instantly. At that time, whether he lived or died would depend on the speed of the headquarters' support.

Cao Yang comforted himself with a wry smile, wondering in his heart whether he was being too hasty.

After browsing for several hours, Cao Yang still didn't find a ghost that looked half-decent. They were either made-up ghost stories, or notorious ghosts that had been listed in the list of evil ghosts. They were not something he could possibly deal with at his current level.

"Never mind. Although the story in Mysterious Revival says that fate is ridiculous, this is the only ghost that catches my eye. Maybe it is the most suitable one for me."

About two meters away from Cao Yang, the man stopped.

Cao Yang, who was looking around the villa, suddenly heard a deep voice. He looked up and saw a man with a rough face. The man was tall and strong, with a broad back and strong waist. However, he wore golden gloves on both hands, which was very strange.

Cao Yang immediately became alert. With the golden gloves on, this man must be a ghost rider, and the supernatural powers he possessed were related to his hands.

Cao Yang already knew the IP address of the poster through technical means. Now he came to the area where the haunted villa was located with a backpack. The things in the backpack were simple: a golden body bag and a dozen bullets.

"Don't be nervous, brother, I'm not a bad guy."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yang started browsing the ghost hunter forum again. The supernatural beings and ghosts mentioned there were all kinds of strange and bizarre things, and he couldn't just make one plan.

Seeing that Cao Yang didn't respond, the man walked over carelessly.

"Okay, then I'll take care of you, Captain Zhao."

"Friend, are you here to investigate that villa as well?"

In the evening, Cao Yang successfully received the pistol provided by the headquarters, as well as two boxes of bullets, roughly estimated to be forty or fifty bullets, which would be enough for a while.

"My name is Shang Zhicheng. I came here for the ghost in the villa. My employer paid a high price, and I just want to make some extra money to supplement my family income. Hehe."

The man who calls himself Shang Zhicheng looks honest and simple, and he doesn't look like a vicious person, but Cao Yang won't easily believe his performance. Sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than a ghost. In the original novel, Yan Li was killed by a group of villains.

"Brother, I can sense that you are also a ghost tamer, why don't we team up? If we can kill the ghost, we can split the reward in half." "Why should I trust you?"

Cao Yang finally responded, but his tone of keeping people at a distance was obvious.

"How about this, I'll share the information I have with you. Do you think this is sincere?"

Shang Zhicheng seems to be as sincere as he appears.

"Tell me first. If the situation is true, I can consider going with you."

"to make."

"I don't know the code name of that ghost, but according to some information provided by the employer, the source should be a corpse hanging upside down, suspected to have a ghost, and the ghost seems to be related to gravity. However, there may be something in the villa that restricts its recovery process, which is why it has not caused a large-scale supernatural incident."

"Besides that, a ghost rider has already died in the villa, but after his evil spirit revived, the ghost in his body seemed to have never left the villa. I don't know the specific reason for this."

While listening to Shang Zhicheng's intelligence, Cao Yang compared it with the information he had. It was basically correct, and the other party even knew more than he did.

"Okay, I believe you. This was just my subconscious reaction. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that Cao Yang had basically let down his guard, Shang Zhicheng waved his hand.

"It's okay, brother. I understand. It's normal to be wary of other people. But I'm just a carefree person. I prefer to interact with people."

Up to now, Shang Zhicheng is really the same as he appears, simple and honest, but Cao Yang has not completely let his guard down and always keeps a relatively safe distance from him.

"Is it worth it to take the risk of coming to a place with two ghosts just for that little money?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. The employer pays too much, and I have a wife and kids to support at home, so I gritted my teeth and just took the job."

"If that ghost really has a den of evil, how can you control him?"

"Haha, you're testing me, brother. Do you see my hand?"

As he spoke, Shang Zhicheng took off the glove on his left hand, revealing a pale and swollen hand, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time. A cold atmosphere quickly surrounded him, and Cao Yang inexplicably had the urge to hold that hand, and even unconsciously raised his own hand.

However, the shadow under his feet immediately began to struggle violently, trying to break free of Cao Yang's body and exist independently. The bone-chilling coldness brought by the ghost made Cao Yang come to his senses, and he realized that he had almost been tricked without knowing it.

“Ghost Hand, Shang Zhicheng, that’s what everyone in the circle who knows me calls me. Once I extend this hand, even ghosts will unconsciously want to hold it. Now you know why I want to partner with you.”

Of course Cao Yang reacted. This ghost has an inexplicable attraction to ghost handlers and humans. When the ghost holds this ghost, it also means that its movements are restricted to a certain extent. But at this time, Shang Zhicheng, who only has one hand that can move, obviously does not have the ability to imprison the ghost independently, so he needs a companion.

Then, Cao Yang glanced at Shang Zhicheng's right hand without leaving a trace. He did not take off the glove on his right hand. Could it be that he also controlled another ghost hand with different abilities? However, he did not intend to ask further questions. No one could completely trust the other. Cao Yang was like this, and Shang Zhicheng was naturally the same.

"My name is Cao Yang. I hope Brother Shang will take good care of me, a newcomer."
