Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 487 Snowy Area Ghost Mound
After leaving the wild forest, Cao Yang brought Zhao Tong back to the bustling streets of DQ City. The bustling city atmosphere made both of them feel a bit of the worldly life, and the coldness and numbness caused by the evil spirits seemed to be diluted a lot.

"Zhao Tong, you should be in good condition now. The balance formed by two ghosts and a special supernatural item is more stable than the normal balance of two ghosts or three ghosts."

Cao Yang brought Zhao Tong to a hot pot restaurant. DQ City’s hot pot is famous throughout the country, and since they are here, they should at least try it.

"Thanks to the signpost you gave me, Captain, most of the ghosts I led back to the way they came were unable to resist the guidance of the signpost and were forced to go the other way, then fell into the yellow mud road and were drowned."

Zhao Tong picked up a piece of shabu-shabu meat and said.

"Have you ever thought about the future? Should you continue to follow the path of a ghost rider, or wait until the evil ghost revives and then die?"

Cao Yang picked up the happy water and drank it all, then asked.

As Zhao Tong's teammate, Cao Yang can naturally help him control the third ghost, or find a way to kill the evil ghost.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Zhao Tong himself has this intention.

"I haven't thought about it. Let's take it one step at a time. Captain, you know that I was also a coward in the beginning. Later, I joined your team and experienced the fierce ghost road where there was almost no chance of survival."

"The fierce ghost road, there is a ghost every ten steps, and there is no end. Lin Ye was hit by the ghost bus and even you, the captain, were forced into a dead end. I really can't imagine how to survive in such a situation."

"But I survived in the end, and I have changed since then. Is there any other supernatural event or ghost that can compare to the Haunted Road?"

"That's why I'm willing to follow Ah Hong and the others, constantly traveling around and dealing with various not-so-complicated supernatural events. To deal with a ghost, everyone takes turns using their supernatural powers, so no one has to over-exert themselves, which is pretty good."

Zhao Tong finished a bottle of beer in one breath and said as if to vent his anger.

"The worst that can happen is death. Anyway, the situation won't get any worse than it is now. I'm just one more person in charge of the recovery. Someone else will take over soon."

"You can never catch all the ghosts."

"Don't worry, there's still a long way to go in the future. It won't be too late to tell me when you've made up your mind."

The two of them sat around the hot pot until the store closed before leaving.

"You should return to the team. I still need to go to Dachuan City to find the captain, Li Leping."

"Okay, Captain, please be safe."

Under the street light, the two said goodbye.

A moment later, in Okawa City, after experiencing the disaster of the Ghost Head incident, the city's population loss has become very serious. In other big cities, the nightlife has just begun, but in Okawa City, there are almost no pedestrians.

"Li Leping didn't seem to leave any information. We can only go to his usual office to check."

Cao Yang used the ghost den to roughly search it, but did not find any traces. Li Leping was in charge of this city, and except for particularly terrifying supernatural events, ordinary evil ghosts would not be able to cause any waves.

"Captain Cao Yang?"

At this time, a strange voice came from behind Cao Yang.

He was a man about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a dull and grey complexion and a cold aura emanating from him. He was obviously a ghost rider.

"Are you a member of Li Leping's team?" Cao Yang asked.

"Hello, Captain Cao, my name is Jiang Che. Captain Li asked me to look after Dachuan City before he left."

"Li Leping asked you to help look after Dachuan City? That means you should be pretty capable. After all, Li Leping is a standout among the captains, and anyone he can recruit into the team shouldn't be too weak."

Cao Yang looked at Jiang Che. He was not being polite when he said this, because Jiang Che was a tough guy who actually controlled three ghosts. This level was enough to be nominated as the captain. He didn't expect that he was willing to work under Li Leping.

"Captain Cao, you're joking. Thanks to Captain Li's help, I'm barely alive today. Even in a headquarters full of talented people, I still can't get a rank."

Jiang Che was very humble. It was obvious that Li Leping treated him very well, so he was willing to take on the task at this critical moment.

"Captain Cao, our Captain Li is not in Dachuan City. If you want to find him, maybe I can provide some clues. After all, Captain Li has always been quite mysterious. In addition, his spiritual peculiarity makes it really not an easy task to find him."

"Tell me."

"Captain Li left a message before he disappeared. If he has been missing for more than a month, he asked me to report this to the headquarters, hoping that the headquarters can send a captain over. He also specifically instructed that if Captain Yang or you come in person, he asked me to tell you that you can find him in a place called Guizhong in the snowy area west of Dachuan City."

Jiang Che explained everything in detail. He was also concerned about Li Leping's condition, but he couldn't just abandon Dachuan City. Now that the captain had arrived, that would naturally be the best.

"Snowy area, Ghost Mound. Thank you for the clue. Here are five ghost candles and two scapegoats. Please take them. Govern Dachuan City well and don't disappoint Li Leping's expectations."

"Thank you, Captain Cao. Captain Cao, please be careful. I heard Captain Li mention Ghost Mound. The danger there is beyond imagination. Even he must be careful."

"Thank you for reminding."

One minute later.

Cao Yang appeared in Litang, a small county in the snowy area in western Sichuan Province. Although it is still within the scope of Sichuan Province, the cultural customs of Litang are basically the same as those in the snowy area.

“I never expected that there would be a person in charge in this county of Litang.”

Cao Yang was very surprised about this. Litang's geographical location was already remote enough. It was rare for supernatural events to occur in such a sparsely populated place, and for a ghost rider to appear.

"The person in charge of Litang is Ding Zhen, whose Tibetan name is Ding Zhen Zhenzhu. This file is quite strange. The evil spirit appeared on the grassland where Ding Zhen usually herds cattle. Originally, it was his brother Ding Jia's turn to herd cattle and sheep that day, but Ding Jia went to school that day, so Ding Zhen went instead."

"By some strange coincidence, Ding Yan controlled the evil spirit that had not yet fully revived and became a ghost rider."

"Ding Zhen's code name is Ghost Smoke. If I remember correctly, Li Leping's ghost den is also full of smoke, so Li Leping is not here to kill Ding Zhen to complete his own puzzle, right?"

Cao Yang suddenly thought of something. Although this situation is not uncommon in the supernatural circle, people usually do it secretly and do not act in a high-profile manner. If we consider it from the value perspective alone, killing Ding Yu and completing the ghost smoke can help Li Leping regain his balance, which is definitely worth it.

It's theoretically possible, but not recommended.

"Guiyan Dingzhen, Guizhong, and Li Leping, the small Litang suddenly had three big Buddhas, which really didn't look like what a small county town should look like."

Cao Yang did not rush in, but simulated it in the virtual world first.
