Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 501: Zhongjiangxing

A year has passed. After experiencing turmoil and crisis, the Western Continent has lost its spirit and become a super organization that dominates the situation on the continent. The members of the Congress rebuilt the Ghost Riders headquarters and gradually restored a stable order.

Domestically, the situation has remained stable over the past year, and supernatural incidents have only increased. However, most of them have been handled by the newly established patrol captains. The first batch of captains tacitly chose to semi-retire.

Of course, when a terrifying evil spirit appears, the patrol captain is powerless and has to step in.

"Event code: Ghost Baby Curse."

"Damage level: A."

"File details: A stone statue of a hideous ghost baby. Anyone who looks into the eyes of the ghost baby will be cursed. Ordinary people who are cursed will gradually have their blood sucked dry, and a ghost baby will be bred and raised."

"The ghost babies are similar to the first stage ghost babies in the starving ghost incident. People who are cursed will gradually be corrupted and become ghost slaves. If you look into the eyes of a ghost slave, you will also be cursed and conceive a ghost baby."

"The ghost baby curse incident was resolved by Captain Yang Jian, and the source of the ghost baby stone statue has been imprisoned."

In Beichen Building, Cao Yang was looking through the files of this supernatural incident.

His evaluation of this is: not very scary, but extremely harmful.

"Let's see who is pregnant and who can handle it."

Cao Yang put down the file and walked to the French window to overlook the entire Otsu City. He did not solve any supernatural incidents this year, but he traveled to many places, basically all the cities in the country, and his false world and memory city were greatly enriched.

"The supernatural land has begun to gradually get out of control, and the number of supernatural incidents has increased to a terrifying number. If this continues, the patrol captains will not be able to hold on for a few more years."

After thinking for a moment, Cao Yang seemed to have thought of something, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Zhongjiang City, this small city is not far from Dahan City, but it is not very eye-catching. It is a very ordinary city, so ordinary that it has not even been mentioned in the archives of the headquarters. Because this city has neither a person in charge nor any supernatural events, it has been subconsciously ignored by many people.

Cao Yang's figure appeared on a street in the old city of Zhongjiang City. There is a Chinese medicine shop on this street. This Chinese medicine shop is very old. It seems that this Chinese medicine shop has been opened here since the day this street appeared. Its existence is the childhood memory of many older residents.

"Have you also discovered the weirdness of this place?"

The next moment, a red light flashed, and Yang Jian instantly appeared beside Cao Yang. Half a year ago, he also discovered that this street was full of supernatural traces, but he did not investigate because there were no supernatural incidents here, and there were no signs of getting out of control.

"Let's go and see together?"

Cao Yang said.

"Happy to accompany you."

Cold lake water oozed out from under Yang Jian's feet, and the floating corpses in the lake passed the scarlet spear to each other.

The old streets look out of place with the nearby modern high-rise buildings. The bluestone bricks, whose edges have been smoothed over time, bear witness to the development of the city.

"A Chinese medicine shop, with supernatural powers running rampant, even the sight of the ghost eyes is disturbed."

The two stopped in front of the door of the Chinese medicine shop. The old bluestone bricks gave off a cold atmosphere. The shop was also dark and gloomy. Even the light of reality could not shine in.

"Are you sick?"

A woman walked out of the dim shop and asked in a bad tone.

Yang Jian frowned. It had been a long time since anyone dared to talk to him like this. Not even the king dared to scold him right away.

"idiot."

Cao Yang sneered. "I'm too lazy to kill a piece of trash."

Yang Jian also echoed.

"Go in and have a look."

The two men sang the same tune and did not take the woman seriously at all because she was too weak and could not even reach the level of a candidate for captain. She must have a backer to dare to speak like that, and it was obvious that her backer was in this Chinese medicine shop.

Cao Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed the stupid woman, who was thrown directly into the fake world. The two of them walked directly into this mysterious Chinese medicine shop without any scruples.

"You two young men, please put away your magical powers. Xiaoru may not be very smart, but she is not a bad person by nature."

At this time, an old, hoarse voice came from deep in the shop.

"Stupidity is the root of evil. People like this won't survive long in the outside world. No wonder she won't leave this Chinese medicine shop. It turns out you're protecting her."

Cao Yang said.

The two continued to go deeper and came to the interior of the Chinese medicine shop.

It was a black armchair with armrests that were smooth and shiny as if they were covered with patina.

A skinny old man was slumped on the armchair. He looked like an old Chinese doctor, but he was blind with dark eyes. He gave off a dead aura and one could even faintly smell the stench of a rotting corpse. However, this stench was masked by a stronger smell of Chinese medicine and it was impossible to tell the difference unless one was careful.

“Sin shall not lead to death.”

The old man spoke again.

"Don't worry, she won't die, but it's hard to say how long she can live."

Cao Yang grinned. Xiaoru was a woman with no strength at all. If she was deliberately targeted in the fake world, she would not survive for even ten minutes.

The old man said nothing, but laughed silently. However, the wrinkled skin on his old face was pulled, making him look particularly eerie and weird.

"Good! You are courageous, ruthless, and capable. You are the first young man who dares to attack Xiaoru in front of me."

Unexpectedly, the old man was not angry, but praised him instead.

"You are the two most powerful people who have walked into my shop in recent years. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be the ones who are in charge of this era. The young are really formidable."

The old man slapped the armrests of the armchair with his dry and skinny hands, and seemed to be a little excited.

"I didn't come here to listen to your flattery. Your Chinese medicine shop is full of ghosts, and judging from your appearance, you won't live long. After you die, this Chinese medicine shop will inevitably get out of control. Then I will have to clean up the mess."

"I have seen this armchair of yours in an old house. It just so happens that I also organized the funeral of the old man in that old house. If you don't mind, I can also prepare one for you in advance. This will be good for everyone."

The spear smashed to the ground. He had recognized the old man in front of him. He was the old guy in Baishui Town who possessed a purple ghost-like miasma, and whose poisonous gas invaded his body and deprived him of his supernatural powers.

"Young people have a bad temper, but I still have to thank you for burying the old man in the ancient house. Being able to come out of his hellhole alive is enough to prove your ability."

The old man still looked calm and composed, and did not feel any dissatisfaction with Yang Jian's attitude.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Bohua. When I was young, they all called me the Poison Ghost. But that era has passed. People of this era call me by another code name - Ghost Doctor."

"There are medicines for human diseases, but what about ghost diseases?"
