Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 510 The Cursed Door

"it is finally over."

Zhu Mian breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had encountered an event of this level, but it also helped him grow quickly, and at the same time he realized the gap between himself and the captains.

"Well done. You still have the energy to take countermeasures in this high-pressure situation. There will definitely be a place for you in the future."

Cao Yang patted Zhu Mian's shoulder and said jokingly.

Zhu Mian smiled, but in fact he was not as relaxed as he looked. In the situation just now, any mistake would have resulted in certain death, and he was aware of the danger.

"Captain Cao is overestimating me. It's enough for me to defend Dachang City and the Old Nine Gates."

"Don't underestimate yourself. It's no exaggeration to say that if a normal captain faced the ghost troupe, he would have to be very careful in every move, and the chance of casualties is not low. If you can do this, you are no less capable than the captain in many aspects."

Yang Jian adjusted his state and made a comment. The strength of the patrol captains was mostly uneven, but it was obvious that Zhu Mian was one of the tall ones and was one of the stronger ones.

"Keep investigating. If a ghost theater troupe is so dangerous, it's hard to say how many fierce ghosts are hiding in this county."

Cao Yang put away his relaxed mood and said.

A few people nodded and decided to continue going deeper into this mysterious county.

The deeper we went, the darker and quieter the surrounding environment became. In the end, we could hardly see anything and could only barely make out the vague outlines of the buildings nearby.

“Plop! Plop—!”

Something seemed to be rolling and it sounded like a rubber ball.

Then, a bulging dark brown ball, as if it was over-inflated, rolled over from the dim corner.

After the first ball appeared, the surrounding area was filled with balls. The number increased, and in just a moment, it occupied almost all possible roads.

"Li Yang, cooperate with me to get rid of these ghosts."

Yang Jian said indifferently.

Li Yang nodded, and the rotten and dark ghost den immediately covered the surroundings, and the corpse spot curse that could corrode and rot everything was released with the help of the ghost den.

At the same time, the ground of the ghost den was covered by a thick shadow. Charred ghost hands stretched out from the shadows and crushed the rolling balls one by one.

Just with the contact, the seemingly solid ball exploded one after another, splashing out a pool of smelly, sticky black liquid, like something formed after rotting and spoiling.

The liquids fell into the thick shadow and were swallowed up in an instant, as quiet as a stone sinking into the sea.

"keep going."

After a while, all the balls disappeared. Yang Jian and Li Yang joined forces and completely got rid of the ghost ball in less than five minutes.

"It's too dark here. I can't see anything."

Li Yang said.

"Hey guys, it looks like you need help."

A voice came from somewhere and sounded familiar.

Then, a sickly, sallow face and skinny body appeared in the sight of several people, holding an old oil lamp.

"Liu San, why did you come to a place like this? Have you solved the problem of the graveyard?"

The person who came was none other than the paper man Liu San, but with the naked eye it was impossible to tell whether the person in front of him was a paper man or Liu San's real body.

"I came here to recycle some puzzle pieces and happened to run into you guys."

Liu San replied.

"In fact, I came earlier than you, but my ghost cave is not strong enough, so I can't use it to reversely invade back to reality. I can only look for a way out with a lantern in my hand. I didn't expect to run into you." "I didn't hear that you were involved in investigating the supernatural county incident."

Yang Jian's eyes were full of doubt. He felt that the person in front of him might not be Liu San, but might be a ghost.

"There is a building in Fengdu Ghost City that is different from the other buildings. The main door is a double-opening red-painted wooden door. After opening the door, I came to this county town, which is very similar in style to Fengdu Ghost City. Maybe there is some kind of relationship between these two mysterious places."

Liu San gave an explanation for Yang Jian's suspicion.

"Take us to see the door that connects the two mysterious places."

Cao Yang said.

"can."

Liu San walked in front holding a lantern, while Cao Yang and four others followed behind him.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of an ordinary building. Just as Liu San said, it was an old double-opening red painted wooden door, but the paint on the red wooden door had peeled off due to time, and there were many strange marks left on the door, including tooth marks and claw marks. No one knew what had happened.

"So why don't you choose to go back to Fengdu Ghost City before leaving?"

Yang Jian asked while looking at the door in front of him.

"Right time, right place. I feel like I happened to open the door to the ghost town at a special time point and came here. Once the time passes, no matter how many times I open the door, I can't go back."

Liu San said.

"If my guess is correct, that time is Qingming Festival."

Cao Yang calculated the time in his mind. Generally speaking, there is no necessary relationship between supernatural events and dates, but the existence of exceptions cannot be ruled out.

"That means you entered here three days ago."

It was indeed Qingming Festival three days ago. Although there is no absolute evidence that the festival was the cause of the strange changes in the supernatural place, the supernatural is unreasonable. Even the ancient city of Ping'an can overlap and merge with the ghost county city. Other things do not seem so outrageous.

"I'll try."

Li Yang looked at the double doors in front of him, and a strange feeling vaguely arose in his heart, as if this door had an inexplicable relationship with him.

"Is it the ghost's instinct to complete the puzzle?"

Yang Jian had some vague guesses, but he did not stop Li Yang's actions.

"Then be careful. There are several bodies in this building. They could be human or ghosts. Anyway, just be prepared for the worst."

Liu San reminded.

"clear."

Li Yang took a deep breath, opened the ghost den and slowly covered the location of the gate. The ghost den gradually outlined the shape of another old wooden door.

That is the Ghost Gate, behind which is a mysterious place full of evil spirits. Unlike the main door of a building, the Ghost Gate is a single door, while this main door is double-leafed.

"Did you find anything?"

Three minutes later, Li Yang took back the ghost den, and Yang Jian asked.

"I have a feeling that is hard to explain, but what is certain is that this door is cursed. However, it is not the source of the curse, but only a carrier."

"In other words, the medium of the curse is the door. The door that Team Liu found in another mysterious place should also be one of the carriers of the curse."

"Besides that, the curse and the ghost gate should be related to each other as puzzle pieces, but we can only know what the specific supernatural things are by finding the source of the curse."
