Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 90: Determination to Trade Again

The next day, in Dazheng City, Cao Yang woke up and requisitioned a helicopter to fly to Dachang City. The urban area of ​​Dachang City had been covered by a dark haze of starving ghosts, all flights and other transportation were suspended, and the entire city was gradually becoming a ghost town.

A few hours later, Cao Yang successfully arrived at the temporary command center built outside Dachang City. Before landing, he had already seen the city that seemed to be covered by black clouds, but the clouds were a strange blue-black color and were very thick.

"The ghost den of the starving ghosts is about the strength of the third-level ghost eye. I just tried it at the edge, and the gravity ghost den couldn't invade at all. This shows that the strength of the gravity ghost den is far inferior to the third-level ghost eye."

Cao Yang was thinking as he walked.

The command center was built temporarily, but Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua came here to take charge in person. At the same time, many ghost riders gathered in Dachang City, but no one could offer any constructive suggestions or turn the tide. A group of people could only stare at each other anxiously outside the ghost den.

"Cao Yang, you're here. I'm sorry to bother you again. You just got out of one incident and now you have to participate in another large-scale supernatural incident."

Zhao Jianguo came forward with a bitter expression.

"Captain Zhao, this is serious. After all, I am also a member of the headquarters, so I should come here as well. And I'm not sure if I can help."

"Anyway, it's great that you're willing to come. Some ghost hunters can't even get through the satellite phone when they hear that it's an S-level supernatural event."

"This is normal. If your roles were reversed, you would probably do the same. Ghost riders are short-lived. It's already a great achievement for them to solve two or three C-level and B-level supernatural incidents. To suddenly let them participate in or even solve an S-level incident is not just pushing people into a fire pit, but asking them to die directly."

Cao Yang glanced at him and said lightly.

"Indeed, I can understand them personally, but when they are rejected outright in real life, it is still a little hard to accept."

"By the way, how long has this incident happened? Where is the person in charge of Dachang City? Has he been confirmed dead? Or is he also trapped in the ghost den?"

Cao Yang asked tentatively, he needed to confirm the progress of the starving ghost incident.

"It has been several days. Zhao Kaiming, the head of Dachang City, has been trapped in the ghost den. He is relatively safe for now. In addition to Zhao Kaiming, there are about five other ghost riders in there, including Professor Wang. However, there is a special case among them. A ghost rider named Yang Jian seems to have a way to completely resolve the incident. He contacted the deputy minister yesterday and seems to have finalized a plan."

Zhao Jianguo said.

"Okay, I get it. There's nothing I can do in this situation. I can only pray that Yang Jian succeeds."

Cao Yang said indifferently that even if he wanted to help with the starving ghost incident, it would be useless because the ghost den had blocked him out. Since Yang Jian's plan to hang himself had been finalized, he could just wait for him to solve the incident and he would be responsible for the aftermath.

The waiting process was anxious, not to mention that it was an S-level incident where a den of evil spirits covered an entire large city. Every second that passed made Cao Yanhua feel uneasy and frightened.

For seven days, the mood of fear spread, and almost everyone in the temporary command center fell into despair. No one knew when this disaster would end, and no one knew whether the young man named Yang Jian could still bring a last glimmer of hope.

"Ghost Eye Detective Yang Jian is online!"

The news that Yang Jian was back online exploded like thunder in the temporary command center, but was quickly suppressed. "It looks like everything is coming to an end."

During these seven days, Cao Yang did nothing but rest or stare blankly at the blue-black haze not far away.

"Should I say he is worthy of being called Yang Jian? His growth rate is truly terrifying."

Cao Yang made a rough estimate and found that he, who was controlling three ghosts, had no chance of winning against Yang Jian at this period. First of all, he would be crushed in the ghost den.

"The layout of the Seventh Elder and Qin Elder is really meticulous. Things like the ghost cabinet and the ghost mirror have been placed in a small house for hundreds of years without being discovered by anyone."

He shook his head with a wry smile. To be honest, Cao Yang was a little envious of Yang Jian. His growth seemed to be thrilling, but in fact, he could always see the shadows of his predecessors behind him. Everything was destined.

"Since Yang Jian and Yang Jian are destined, it means that I, Cao Yang, am free, and no one will plot against me. In other words, I can also become someone like Yang Jian, although the possibility is very small..."

Cao Yang temporarily put aside the unrealistic idea. At this stage, he couldn't even kill the evil ghost, and yet he wanted to scam Yang Jian. It was really a pipe dream.

At 9:30 in the evening, the haze covering Dachang City dissipated. Cao Yang and Li Jun immediately led the team into the city to provide support and at the same time cleared up the hidden dangers that still existed in the city.

The turquoise ghost fire spread rapidly. After supporting Otsu City last time, Li Jun controlled the second ghost. This ghost could help him develop and utilize the supernatural power of the ghost fire to a greater extent. Now his ghost den can cover an area of ​​several kilometers around. Anything contaminated with the supernatural cannot escape the ghost fire.

Under the personal arrangement and supervision of Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua, order in Dachang City quickly returned to normal, with water, electricity, medical care, road control, etc. all proceeding in an orderly manner, except that some residents chose to move away out of fear.

Four or five days passed like this, and Zhao Jianguo suddenly found Cao Yang and wanted him to attend an important meeting. The meeting was intended to allow the leaders of the headquarters to get to know each other and become familiar with each other. It was also a commendation meeting for Yang Jian.

"No problem, I'll be there on time."

Cao Yang did not reject Zhao Jianguo's request. As a direct descendant of the headquarters, it was necessary for him to communicate and maintain good relationships with other persons in charge. Perhaps one day when investigating supernatural events, he would have to pass through the city of someone else's person in charge, and he could ask them for a small favor then.

"The meeting will be held tomorrow. During this time, we may be able to complete the transaction with the ghost peddler. The scars left by the bronze sword have recovered a lot, but the erosion of the body by the human ghost has been aggravated."

"Also, I have dismembered a small part of the ancient corpse, and I am not sure if it can meet the delivery requirements. The appearance of the ancient corpse is still the same as on the list, so I think there should be no problem."

"God knows where the ghost has gone, and when did Gu Cheng control the ghost? The peddler can't let me go after him now."

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Yang decided to complete the transaction as soon as possible. His own strength was not enough. The occurrence of the starving ghost incident also meant that the era of supernatural powers had completely begun. At this stage, those who could not reach the level of killing evil spirits could not be called the top ghost masters.

"I will not die. I want to live to the end. I want to become stronger. It starts with this transaction and stealing the ghost peddler's spiritual power."
