Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 564 "This old guy is so scary"

The turmoil in Dajing City ended in a way that no one had expected. The city did not fall, and there was no sign of evil spirits wreaking havoc in the urban areas in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. It was as if the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that made everyone feel despair was just an extremely realistic dream.

"it's over?"

Yang Jian stood on the rooftop of a building and watched with his own eyes as all traces of the supernatural were wiped out. The ink-black coffin-shaped ghost den was forcibly suppressed back into the ghost coffin, and the gray world in the north of the city gradually shrank into an old European-style oil painting.

"Is it that Mr. Cao who took action?"

It’s no wonder that Yang Jian thought too much. When everyone felt desperate and depressed, only the old man was calm and composed. It was hard not to suspect that it was him.

"It would be great if someone could clean up the mess. I also need to deal with the music box curse as soon as possible."

Yang Jian secretly thought in his heart.

Before this, he had asked the human skin paper and learned the details of the curse through some friendly means. He also knew that the curse would erupt on time at twelve noon four days later.

"We still have enough time, but the two solutions proposed by the human skin paper are not very feasible. Just like the last time when he hanged himself in front of the ghost mirror, the ending is almost certain death."

I thought about the two options, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to find a way out.

"Corpse Bride... The melody from Caesars Hotel. Both paths are almost the same as committing suicide."

"The coffin nail that suppressed the starving ghost is gone, otherwise I could have tried."

After much thought, Yang Jian still couldn't come up with a reasonable plan.

"Use the ghost cupboard?"

He thought about making a deal with the Ghost Cabinet to eliminate the trap in the human skin paper plan, but the Ghost Cabinet and the human skin paper are both ruthless and ruthless. If the Ghost Cabinet put forward abnormal conditions, he would still have a headache.

……

At this moment, Yang Jian’s satellite phone suddenly rang. After restoring order, the headquarters found that his location was still in Dajing City, so they took the initiative to start the call.

"Yang Jian, are you still in Dajing City? If you have time, you can come to the headquarters. Minister Cao and Professor Wang want to meet with you. You have made great contributions this time, and they have prepared a reward."

Liu Xiaoyu's voice was heard on the phone, but it seemed to be a prepared recording, and the call was automatically disconnected after it ended.

"I can definitely go to the headquarters. Maybe they have something suitable for me."

After a brief thought, Wang Yangjian decided to go to the headquarters. With the music box curse suppressing the ghost eye, he turned into a rainbow and headed directly towards the headquarters.

……

Headquarters.

When Yang Jian arrived, he found that Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming were already waiting for him. Also traveling with him were Li Jun and that old man Cao. However, old man Cao looked much older, and he looked as weak as if half of his body was buried in the ground. At least that was what Yang Jian thought.

"Yang Jian, you're here. I won't waste any more words. Here is a list of supernatural items collected by the headquarters. You have made great contributions by killing the starving ghosts twice. You can choose any item on the list to take away."

Cao Yanhua handed over a document, which was about five or six pages long, recording various supernatural items, most of which were accompanied by pictures.

"Dead man's banner, ghost camera, shroud..."

Yang Jian quickly scanned the items on the list. Most of them had codes, and their usage and cost were also recorded. However, some of them did not even have clear codes and were simply named based on their appearance.

"I personally think the shroud may be more suitable for you, but the final choice is yours, and we will not interfere."

Wang Xiaoming said.

Hearing this, Yang Jian focused his attention on the supernatural object codenamed the Shroud.

Item code: Shroud. Ability: Wrapping an evil spirit with the shroud can completely suppress the spirit's actions.

Yang Jian's eyes flashed, this shroud is indeed a good thing, although it is a bit useless. After all, using this thing means that he will have direct contact with the evil spirit, and it will take some time to wrap the evil spirit. The risk in the process is too great.

However, Yang Jian was very excited about the effect of the shroud. It could suppress the actions of evil spirits. To some extent, this thing was similar to the coffin nails, except that it was not as convenient to use.

"Perhaps the shroud can be used to restrain the mummy bride..."

Wang Xiaoming was right. Yang Jian was attracted by the shroud. Such a castrated version of coffin nails was like a timely help to him now.

"Don't worry, you can take your time to think about it. I have some good news to tell you, are you interested?"

Cao Yanhua said.

"What good news?"

"The headquarters has decided to appoint you as the captain. You will have all the powers of a captain, but you will also have to deal with some supernatural events in order to apply for more resources."

Cao Yanhua's words made Yang Jian feel a little amused and helpless. Becoming the captain was indeed not a bad thing, but to put it another way, it was not a good thing either. Yang Jian was not sure whether he could survive this time, so being the captain or not did not mean much to him now.

After looking through the list carefully, Yang Jian felt that the shroud was the most suitable for him. The music box suppressed the ghost eye, which meant that most of the time he had the capital to trial and error. At worst, he could still open the fifth layer of the ghost den and escape unscathed.

After all, the fifth-level ghost den can even suppress the ghost den of starving ghosts. Even if there are many evil ghosts in the world that can rival starving ghosts, you shouldn't encounter them every time.

"Just the shroud, please deliver it to me as soon as possible. I have something to take care of."

After careful consideration, Yang Jian finally decided to choose the shroud. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoming directly took out a golden container from the next room and handed it to Yang Jian.

"It seems like you were sure I would choose this thing, so you prepared everything in advance."

Yang Jian didn't like the feeling of being guessed at, nor did he like dealing with Wang Xiaoming, not to mention that he was the other party's enemy who had killed his brother. Although Wang Xiaoming was well-known for his selflessness, Yang Jian didn't think that he had no grudge against him.

"It's just a guess. Just do whatever you want to do. The headquarters also needs to deal with the aftermath. Mr. Cao said that if you encounter any difficult problems, you can find him and he can provide you with some help."

Wang Xiaoming said with a normal expression.

Yang Jian glanced at the old man in front of him. There was no expression on his old face, and his hands, which were leaning on the cane, were full of wrinkles and age spots. It was hard to imagine that this old man was most likely the brave man who solved the ghost coffin and ghost painting alone.

"I want to know the information about that bus."

Yang Jian asked after thinking for a moment.

He already has the conditions to imprison the mummy bride. The biggest problem now is how to find the ghost. He was able to encounter it by chance when he took the ghost bus last time, but Yang Jian has no idea about the route or stops of the ghost bus.

"Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, Chang'an Road Bus Station in Dachang."

Mr. Cao said.

Yang Jian frowned. He clearly didn't reveal anything, but Mr. Cao seemed to have seen through his thoughts and even directly told him where the ghost bus would appear next time.

"Is Mr. Cao familiar with that bus?"

"I'll explain it to you when you come back."

Yang Jian was shocked.

Because Mr. Cao's voice appeared directly in his mind, without any warning, silently, and even directly answered his doubts.

"This old guy is so scary!"
