Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 82 Night Watchman (Please subscribe first! Please read later!)

Soon, Cao Yang encountered the second exhibit: a strange hand covered with mud and cracks. It was obviously the hand of an evil spirit, but for some unknown reason it was dismembered and became an exhibit in BWG.

The horror of this palm was obviously not as great as the crystal skull just now, but despite this, the ghost candle in Cao Yang's hand still burned out. However, he did not take out the ghost candle again, but was thinking about one thing: why did the ghosts on display not revive?

"Is it because of the glass display case? Or the lighting? Or is it that BWG itself suppresses evil spirits?"

Cao Yang looked at the dim light next to the display case, but found that the light was not as simple as it seemed. The dim light seemed particularly dazzling at this moment, and Cao Yang couldn't help but close his eyes, and at this moment he felt that the ghosts in his body were suppressed to varying degrees.

"There's something wrong with the lighting. Just like the ghost post office, the lighting has a certain suppressive effect. No wonder these ghosts stay quietly in the display case without taking any action."

After two minutes, Cao Yang opened his eyes again. Without the ghost candle, the mist once again covered the exhibits. Seeing this, Cao Yang left again.

“Tap, tap, tap!”

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps appeared in the silent venue, dull and depressing, as if every step was stepping on people's hearts.

"Something is approaching."

Cao Yang instantly became alert and took out the ghost candle in his arms, ready to light it at any time. The footsteps were mechanical and stiff, and even the time intervals were the same. It was obvious that it was a ghost.

“Tap, tap, tap~!”

Not only were there footsteps, but there was also a sound of hurried running coming from somewhere in the exhibition hall on the first floor, which sounded like horses galloping.

"How is that possible? How can there be horses in BWG?"

Cao Yang was puzzled. This was a mysterious place. Maybe all the horses were ghost horses. This was not strange. Dogs could control ghost dreams. Even if a ghost horse appeared, Cao Yang would not think it was too outrageous.

The sound of galloping horses was intermittent, but the sound of footsteps was always there, and it was getting closer and closer to Cao Yang.

Cao Yang looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the light there was no longer dim, but a strange blue color, as if another kind of light was invading.

“Tap, tap, tap!”

“Kick, kick, kick~!”

Accompanied by the sound of galloping horses again, the figure finally appeared: it was a man wearing a black hooded gown, holding an antique revolving lantern in his hand. The top of the lantern had antique hexagonal patterns, and the shadows of several horses were reflected on the lampshade. The sound just now seemed to have been made by this thing.

"It's the Republic of China again!"

The man was small and thin, and the black hooded long gown looked very funny on him, even forming a tail. Not only that, the hand holding the revolving lantern was skinny and shriveled, and appeared pale.

The hat obscured the man's face, but with the dim blue light of the revolving lantern and the gaps between his movements, Cao Yang could see that the man only had half of his face, and the other half was hollow and broken bones.

Danger, extremely dangerous!
The ghost in his body was giving him a warning. This ghost was more dangerous than any other evil ghost Cao Yang had encountered before. Without hesitation, Cao Yang lit the ghost candle, which was burning at an incredible speed. It was estimated that it would burn out in less than five minutes.

Although the situation was dangerous, Cao Yang naturally did not choose to open the ghost cave, because he knew that at this level
In front of an evil ghost, your own ghost lair is useless. Not only is it difficult to be effective, it may also attract the evil ghost's attention.

"Don't come to me."

Cao Yang could only pray in his heart, while cautiously backing away, trying to stay away from the ghost's sight or influence. But the ghost did not go away, but walked towards Cao Yang, pressing forward step by step, and the sound of galloping horses appeared again.

"Damn, is he being targeted?"

Cao Yang's eyes suddenly froze. He couldn't understand why this ghost was targeting him. It must have triggered the evil ghost's pattern.

“Is the pattern opening the door, peeking into the exhibits, or seeing the lights?”

Cao Yang was thinking, he had only done these few things since he joined bwg, and the first thing that could be ruled out should be opening the door.

"To peer into the exhibits, or into the lights?"

It was time to make a choice between the two options. The ghost candle in his hand had burned down by 1/3, but the ghost still did not stop and was still approaching Cao Yang's position.

“It’s the light!”

Cao Yang made a choice. He looked around cautiously, then blew out the ghost candle in his hand and quickly ran to a dark corner nearby. This was a blind spot for all lights, and it was dark. If it were a living person, Cao Yang would definitely be discovered, but evil spirits would only act according to instinct and rules. As long as they did not trigger the rules, they would be basically safe.

This was a decision Cao Yang made after brainstorming and analysis, but it was also a gamble. Just now, Cao Yang thought of a special profession - the night watchman of BWG. They hide during the day and come out at night. Their job is to check every exhibit after the museum closes every night to ensure safety.

Therefore, Cao Yang boldly guessed that the black-robed ghost was the night watchman of BWG. Its pattern should be related to the exhibits, and all the exhibits have a common pattern: they are shrouded in dim lights.

"The night watchmen follow the light. Outside the BWG, only enough light can bring safety. Inside the BWG, being illuminated by the light means becoming the target of the night watchmen."

"This is a gamble. If my analysis is wrong, I can only pray that the ghost blood can delay me for a while. I have to leave here even if it costs my life."

Cao Yang muttered to himself, and at the same time he tried to curl up his body to prevent any light from shining on him.

“Tap, tap, tap!”

The dull footsteps finally stopped, and Cao Yang clearly saw the black-robed ghost stop next to a glass display case. When approaching the exhibits, the blue flames emitted by the revolving lantern completely overwhelmed the dim light of the BWG, and the glass was dyed a faint blue.

After staying for about a minute, the ghost left and prepared to check the next exhibit, ignoring Cao Yang who was hiding in the dark corner.

"Near miss."

Cao Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed with some relief.

"Generally speaking, real-life BWGs don't turn off all the lights, and the floor lights near the exhibits remain on. Does horror BWG follow this rule?"

Although the evil ghost had left, Cao Yang still curled up in the darkness and waited for five minutes, making sure that the evil ghost had left and the footsteps had completely disappeared before he walked out of the corner.

"It is now 9:30 p.m. and the vigil has already started. It is reasonable to suspect that the vigil started at 9 o'clock. As for when it will end, it is difficult to determine."

"Now there is still a question. If the horror BWG is different from the ordinary BWG, what will happen when the lights are turned off after the vigil? You know, these exhibits are all real ghosts."

Thinking of that scene, Cao Yang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
