Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 556: Ghosts are evil, but human hearts may be even more vicious

Ghost Eyes Yang Jian.

A new file was collected by the headquarters, concerning a high school student who became a ghost rider in an A-level supernatural incident and even managed to escape successfully with seven classmates. Such a resume is nothing short of shocking.

"Headquarters must not let such a talent escape from a Class A disaster-level supernatural event."

The file of an A-level supernatural incident is bound to attract the attention of senior officials. Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua personally made the decision that Yang Jian must be stabilized and it would be best if he could join the headquarters and become the person in charge of the city.

"Understood. I will follow up on Yang Jian's situation."

Zhao Jianguo nodded. He was well aware of the value of these few simple words. The supernatural revival had only been going on for a short time, and A-level events were quite rare around the world. Yang Jian was able to lead his men to escape, which had already proved his potential.

……

"Different reincarnations, how to guide Yang Jian's growth?"

Cao Yang was still in Dachang City at this time. He watched Yang Jian send Wang Shanshan home, and then was attacked by the newspaper ghost in his rental house. So far, everything was basically the same as the previous plot, and there was no derailment.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly appeared in the basement of Hongfa Temple. The basement was built with ancient bluestone bricks. At the end of the cold and dim passage was an old wooden door with a layer of gold foil on it. It was tightly closed, as if something terrible was sealed behind the door.

Cao Yang tore off the gold foil, pushed the door open and walked in. It was pitch dark inside. As the wooden door was opened, the temperature around him suddenly dropped a lot. A gust of cold wind blew in from behind the door, revealing weirdness everywhere.

The darkness could not block Cao Yang's sight. The false world and the real world were in complete contrast. He could see clearly the scene behind the door:

A bony tree was rooted in the ground, with many strange things hanging on it, including dried human heads and old rags. And on the trunk of this bony tree was nailed a huge black figure three meters tall.

A rusty coffin nail pierced through the tall black shadow's chest and nailed it to the tree.

"What a great move! This black shadow is not a ghost at all. It is just a ghost's den. It arbitrarily constructed a black shadow-shaped evil ghost in the shadow world. Even if Yang Jian's two ghosts died, his level is still not enough to accurately determine the status of this thing."

Cao Yang looked carefully at the tall black shadow, the cold aura, the dripping black blood, all signs seemed to prove that it was a ghost, but the reality was that it was just a supernatural phenomenon, and it was a supernatural phenomenon created by Yang Jian using the power of ghosts.

This can also explain why after Yang Jian took away the coffin nails, the bald master in the temple only saw a wall, because there is no supernatural space here at all.

After thinking this through, Cao Yang did not stay any longer but went to the next location - Meishan Village.

"Without Qin Lao in this life, Yang Xiao might not have died."

Meishan Village was shrouded in ghosts, but Cao Yang did not find anything unusual. The village was quiet and peaceful, and did not look haunted at all.

"There is no portrait of Yang Xiao in Yang Jian's house. He is not dead."

In the false world, nothing can escape the gaze. Yang Xiao did not die, but a newspaper ghost still appeared in Yang Jian's rental house, which was very suspicious.

"Is he hiding in the ghost dream world, or in the oil painting in the post office? Or should we simply say that the newspaper ghost is Yang Xiao in this life?"

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to think about it. No matter what he's doing, I can just suppress it when the time comes."

Cao Yang did not intend to fight to the death over the matter of Yang Xiao, as it was meaningless. After leaving Meishan Village, he returned to Dajing City. The effect of establishing his authority two nights ago was very good, and no one knew he had left.

Day after day was peaceful. After suffering a loss last time, his friends knew better than to bother Cao Yang again. Life was so leisurely that Cao Yang almost thought he was retiring at the headquarters.

Until this day, the sky above Dachang City was shrouded in a blue-black haze, and the entire city was plunged into darkness, as if the end of the world was about to come.

The haze had a strange color, like the bruises on a body that had been dead for many days, and carried a cold and strange aura.

The headquarters' chief psychic expert, Wang Xiaoming, is trapped in Dachang City. An unknown ghost den shrouds the entire city, and a super-large psychic event seems to be brewing and even taking shape.

"Mr. Cao, this situation..."

The situation was urgent, and Cao Yanhua found Old Cao without any hesitation. At present, this old man was the only one in the headquarters who was qualified to deal with evil spirits of that level, not even Li Jun could do it.

"The people involved will figure it out on their own. It's not my turn to worry about this."

Cao Yang did not intend to take action. The starving ghost incident was an important node in Yang Jian's growth. He also had to try his best to avoid the strong intervention of other external forces, such as... the wishing ghost.

Seeing Cao Yang's attitude, Cao Yanhua couldn't say much and could only leave with a sad face, and then went to Dachang City in person to set up a temporary command center.

In Dachang City, a dark blue haze blocked the city, and a desperate doomsday atmosphere spread in the hearts of the citizens.

"Minister, what did Mr. Cao say?"

At the temporary command center, after Cao Yanhua arrived, Li Jun was the first to rush up to inquire about the situation.

"Mr. Cao said someone would solve this incident, but that person was not him."

Cao Yanhua said somewhat bitterly that he couldn't force Mr. Cao to take action. The other party had promised when he joined the headquarters that he would take action when necessary, but no one knew to what extent it was necessary.

"We must not let Professor Wang get trapped to death in there. I will try again to see if I can get into this haunted den. At worst, I can fight until the evil spirit revives!"

A resolute expression appeared on Li Jun's face. He was very clear about Wang Xiaoming's importance. According to the evaluation report from the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming's price was higher than that of a county town or even a small city.

"Li Jun, don't be impulsive. Professor Wang is still safe. The headquarters immediately recruited the ghost riders from Dachang City to protect him, and Yang Jian also provided a safe house. We also had a phone call before Minister Cao arrived. You can rest assured for the time being."

Zhao Jianguo came out to dissuade him.

"Young man, don't be too impulsive. S-level supernatural events cannot be solved by your desperate efforts. Even if you fight hard enough to revive it, you may not be able to tear open a hole in this ghost den."

At this moment, Mr. Cao's voice suddenly appeared, and so did he.

"Mr. Cao?!"

Li Jun was suddenly shocked. As a ghost rider, he could not feel any supernatural fluctuations from Old Cao at all. If it was another ghost rider with malicious intent who appeared, he couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be.

"You are still too anxious."

Cao Yang said with pretended emotion.

"Wang Xiaoming and other ordinary people are staying in the safe house. Have you ever thought about what others would think if I only rescued him? Those bodyguards are okay, they are as loyal as Li Jun, but what about the others?"

"Paranormal events are not children's games. They are matters of life and death. I don't think they can remain calm in the face of death."

"Evil spirits may be vicious, but human hearts may be even more vicious."
