Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 538: Those who leave and those who enter
Dagui City is the city that patrol captain Hu Chao is in charge of. Unlike most cities in China, Dagui City is very close to the overseas country of Nanyue. The ghost riders in Nanyue are relatively weak and often try to bring supernatural events to the territory of Gui Province.

To date, more than fifteen South Vietnamese ghost riders have died at the hands of Hu Chao.

However, this ruthless man who defended the country from enemies is now facing the problem of the resurrection of evil spirits. Hu Chao has not been seen for a month, and Dagui City is only barely maintaining the last glimmer of balance.

"Hu Chao, codenamed Ghost Youth, is a ruthless ghost rider who has emerged from nowhere."

After reading Hu Chao's file, even Cao Yang couldn't help but sigh at Hu Chao's character. The first time he encountered a supernatural event, he killed all the trapped living people, and successfully survived by eating raw human flesh, and even controlled the evil spirits because of it.

"A natural ghost rider."

This is Cao Yang’s evaluation of Hu Chao.

In Huaxi Building, Hu Chao was naturally not dead. He locked himself in a safe house and implemented a daring plan that would risk his life.

"Dong Meiqian, how long has it been since Hu Chao lost contact?"

Dong Meiqian is Hu Chao's liaison and his only way of dealing with the headquarters.

"Thirty-five days have passed."

Cao Yang learned from Dong Meiqian the specific date when Hu Chao lost contact. 35 days, generally speaking, a confrontation with the supernatural has already produced a result.

"Open this door."

The dusty safe house was opened. A heavy golden coffin was placed in the room, along with some supernatural items collected by Hu Chao.

Cao Yang walked to the coffin and opened the lid, revealing Hu Chao's body. The body was in a very strange state, its entire body was transparent, but its two hands were one black and one white.

Not only that, the face of the corpse was purple, as if it had been suffocated to death.

"It's very peaceful, there are no signs of the evil spirit reviving."

Cao Yang looked at the corpse. The two ghost hands, one black and one white, were actually one ghost, but it was just residing in Hu Chao's hands.

"Something's approaching!"

The next moment, the memory world expanded overwhelmingly, instantly covering the entire Dagui City. However, what appeared in the memory world was one Hu Chao after another.

These Hu Chao lined up and surrounded the coffin like mourners.

As time passed, Hu Chao in the coffin gradually opened his eyes, while the other Hu Chaos all disappeared.

"Captain Cao Yang?"

Hu Chao spoke slowly, his voice cold and hoarse, like a badly worn tape.

"Congratulations on your return."

Cao Yang said with a smile that he could see that Hu Chao had become an alien. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no need to worry about the revival of evil spirits in the next few decades. This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

"It worked by luck."

Hu Chao stretched all the muscles in his body. Lying in the coffin for a long time made his limbs terribly stiff as if they had degenerated.

"Success is success. There is no such thing as luck. You can transform into an outlier. Luck, strength and planning are all indispensable. It is no exaggeration to say that you are now fully qualified for the position of captain."

"I don't care about those things. As long as I can defend Dagui City, that's all."

Hu Chao answered while examining his own condition.

"up to you."

Da Nan City is also a border city, but with a captain in charge, the situation here is relatively much better.

Zhou Deng was still the same as before, wandering around the city whenever he had time, stealing anything he saw. Even as the team leader, he did not get rid of this bad habit.

"AUV, Captain Cao."

Zhou Deng naturally wouldn't fail to notice Cao Yang's presence, and he greeted Cao Yang enthusiastically.

"I'm in good shape." Cao Yang said.

"Alas, it's not that good. Conservatively speaking, I should be able to live another three to five years. As for the future, I haven't thought about it, and I'm too lazy to think about it."

Zhou Deng shrugged and handed Cao Yang a cup of milk tea.

The two captains were drinking milk tea and chatting on the side of the road.

In the evening, Cao Yang's travels ended. He did not plan to go to Tai O City, which was under the charge of He Yuelian. As long as the woman was honest and decent, there would be no problem. He was too lazy to care about her.

In Dachang City, Cao Yang found Li Yang and asked about Yang Jian's whereabouts.

"I'm afraid this small temple can't accommodate a great god like Yang Jian."

After leaving a meaningful sentence, Cao Yang left. He didn't know how much Yang Jian would grow after his return, but that didn't matter. The existence of that person above his head was enough.

Dahang City, this is Cao Yang's last battle. Lin Ye's evil spirit died so completely that he still maintained a very good condition after such a long time. However, the evil spirit's instinctive erosion of human nature is inevitable, and Lin Ye estimates that his life span will be no more than ten years.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Time passed like this, and every person in charge and captain faced the torture of countless supernatural events every day. More and more ghost riders were offline or even died, but the living people were always living under oppression.

This is a supernatural age, and the burden placed on anyone is unbearable.

Two years later, Liu San disappeared.

Four years later, Li Yang reached his limit and finally chose to lie in a red coffin to suppress the revival of the evil spirit.

Five years later, Hu Chao and Ah Hong were the only two patrol captains who still occasionally kept in touch with the headquarters.

Ten years later, He Yuelian lost contact.

The domestic supernatural circle has entered its darkest hour. Almost all the top ghost handlers have died. Many new ghost handlers have been born, but the mortality rate is extremely high. Sometimes they cannot even survive a single supernatural incident.

During this period, there were several ghost hunters who were catching ghosts frantically. One was Ye Zhen, who was holding a long sword and was always in high spirits; one was Cao Yang; and the other was Li Leping, who wandered around the city, catching invisible ghosts and whose appearance could not be remembered.

Dahan City, Ghost Post Office.

"After so much time, it's time to get an answer as to whether Wei Jing is dead or alive."

That day, Cao Yang came to the ghost post office and decided to dig up the huge earth grave.

"This era is too hopeless. If Wei Jing can control the ghost messenger, the situation will definitely improve."

In the past ten years, Sun Rui has aged a lot. He has controlled the third ghost, but he can never step out of the Ghost Post Office.

"Ghost catchers are the best people to do this. Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will be exhausted to death one day."

Cao Yang issued the final ultimatum, and Sun Rui no longer hesitated. He immediately controlled the Ghost Post Office to remove the soil from the old grave.

As the ground began to collapse and the surroundings began to shake, the protruding old grave began to collapse rapidly, and pieces of black soil gradually disappeared from sight.

In the pile of mud, two corpses gradually emerged, but their faces were still covered with a lot of mud. But from their clothes and heights, it can be seen that the corpse outside should be Feng Quan, and the corpse inside was Wei Jing, codenamed Ghost Messenger.

Cao Yang took out a carrying pole and casually brushed away the mud covering the two men's faces.

They were like two corpses, without any signs of life, and exuding an extreme coldness from head to toe. If an accident occurred, it would mean that Cao Yang and Sun Rui had released two terrifying ghosts with their own hands.

After about ten minutes, the two bodies began to twitch at the same time, which was a sign that they were about to wake up.

The next moment, Wei Jing suddenly sat up and opened his eyes abruptly. He had no expression on his face and looked a little dull, as if he had been asleep for too long and couldn't adapt to the state of waking up for a while.

Next was Feng Quan, who also woke up.

Neither of them showed signs of the evil spirit reviving, which proved that the act of digging up the grave was correct. The joining of Wei Jing and Feng Quan could more or less inject a little new hope into this era, but only a little.
