Chapter 122 Quiet
"Ghost Catcher? A ghost that only catches ghosts. This code name is quite appropriate."
In the Oriental Building, Ah Hong, who had spent a night in the horror tattoo parlor, has returned to her office with a golden briefcase in her hand.
"Ghost messengers are the natural enemies of ghost handlers. If you run into one, you're doomed."
Cao Yang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said jokingly.
"But I heard that recently the famous detective with ghost eyes successfully led a group of people to survive the ghost catcher. I have to admit that he is still quite capable."
Ah Hong handed the box to Cao Yang, who took it but had no idea what was inside.
"Your hush money is a human skin coat with a tattoo of a ghost on it. Wearing the human skin coat, you can use the ghost's power for free. As for resurrection, it will be borne by the human skin, and you don't need to bear any cost for the ghost's resurrection."
"Hi~"
Cao Yang was somewhat flattered. This human leather jacket was of great value. It was a supernatural item that could be obtained for free in the short term. However, when he thought of Ah Hong's identity as the owner of the Horror Tattoo Parlor, Cao Yang was relieved.
"Thank you very much. No one else will know your secret, at least not from me."
Now that the hush money has been paid, Cao Yang will naturally abide by the agreement and keep Ah Hong's secret.
"You've got the stuff, why don't you leave?"
Ah Hong couldn't help laughing as she watched Cao Yang, who was sitting on her pink chair with a scoundrel look on his face.
"I don't want rumors to spread that Cao Yang, the head of Dajin City, is having a tryst with Ah Hong, the head of Dasu City, and that the two of them didn't even respond to requests for help from headquarters."
"What you said..."
Cao Yang sat up instantly, picked up the box and said goodbye to Ah Hong, which made Ah Hong laugh.
"Donghai County is a small county town near Dahang City. It's quite close to Dasu City."
There is no airport in Dasu City, which is very inconvenient. Cao Yang had to return to Dahai City and fly to Dahang City from there.
On the plane, Cao Yang was looking through the files of the person in charge of Dahang City.
"Lin Ye, the person in charge of Dahang City, codenamed Ghost Lalian. Tsk, ghosts really have all kinds of abilities."
Looking at the code name of Forestry, Cao Yang couldn't help but think of the bed curtain in his university dormitory. He wondered if the code name of Forestry had anything to do with this thing.
An hour later, Cao Yang landed at Dahang Lin'an Airport. He had no intention of meeting Lin Ye. He was here to catch ghosts, not to go on a secret visit. Besides, anyone would be disgusted by this kind of behavior of coming uninvited and not even saying hello.
Without stopping in Dahang City, Cao Yang waved to stop a taxi. Under Yuanzi's motivation, the taxi stepped on the accelerator and sped towards Donghai County.
Although Donghai County is not far from Dahang City, the incident codenamed "Quietly" was not handled by Lin Ye, the person in charge of Dahang City. Instead, the headquarters recruited other personnel. Unfortunately, the criminal policeman died as a result.
"Little brother, I heard that this place is haunted. Even if you are brave, you should still be careful. It is better to believe it than not to believe it."
When they reached the outskirts of Donghai County, the driver didn't dare to go any further, because the county was basically blocked and ordinary people would be punished if they entered at will. At the same time, the kind-hearted driver also reminded Cao Yang.
"Thank you, master. I'm here to investigate and collect evidence. You can go back first." Cao Yang smiled and waved to the driver. At the same time, he walked into the county town that exuded an eerie and cold atmosphere even in broad daylight.
Donghai County is just a small county town, not very developed. It was a sunny day, but it was dark everywhere, without any lights, and the roads were empty, without a single living person, just like a deserted city.
Cao Yang did not immediately trigger the quiet law, but investigated the situation of this county town. Although it was haunted, there were still a small number of people living there. In this materialistic era, wanting to buy a house in other places is undoubtedly putting a family in a lifetime of shackles.
About half an hour later, Cao Yang discovered a strange place in the county town.
It was a building of about ten floors, and every window, balcony and even corridor was crowded with people.
No, those can no longer be called human beings.
They stood there motionless, and they had lost their eyes, leaving only two empty eye sockets, from which dark blood continued to seep out. In addition, these people had no mouths and noses, and their facial features were incomplete.
These missing facial features were not cut off abruptly, but they never grew at all. Because part of the face was missing, the two empty and dark eye sockets were particularly obvious.
"They were all killed quietly and became ghost slaves."
Cao Yang muttered a sentence in his heart. He didn't dare to mutter anything here. That word represented a silent rule. Cao Yang didn't intend to face this evil thing head-on before clearing up the hidden dangers.
"Clear them all up. It's no use leaving them here. If they escape one day, they'll cause another supernatural incident."
The gravity ghost den covered the small building. Under Cao Yang's intentional control, all the ghost slaves lost their balance in an instant, triggering the law that imbalance means death, and they fell to the ground one after another without any movement.
Then, Cao Yang transferred the bodies out of the county town, preparing to deal with them after they were detained quietly.
Another two hours passed. Cao Yang thoroughly checked the county and confirmed that there were no other supernatural beings. Only then did he prepare to deal with Jingqiao.
"Should we get the ghost peddler over here first? If I can't deal with Jing Qiao, I'm afraid I won't have enough time to get another person over here."
After a brief consideration, Cao Yang thought it was necessary to let the Ghost Peddler arrive first. Anyway, the Ghost Peddler would definitely be able to suppress Jing Qiao, so there was no need for him to waste time dealing with Jing Qiao.
After a while, Cao Yang took out a small box from his arms, which contained the human skin list. On the list was a picture of a little girl. However, this little girl looked strange, without eyes, nose or mouth, as if she was born with a disability.
In addition to the pattern of the little girl, there is also a black number on the list: 127, which means there are 127 days left until the transaction expires.
"127 days is too long. I can't wait."
Cao Yang cut his finger and wrote a bloody number on the original number with blood, and the transaction deadline was rewritten. The number "0" made of blood meant that Cao Yang wanted to start the transaction at this moment.
About two minutes later, the originally dim small county town suddenly became even darker, as if time had suddenly come to late night, and the darkness in the distance was as thick as ink.
“Ding Ding~!”
The clear and melodious sound of wind chimes came from a certain direction, but Cao Yang knew the meaning of the sound.
“Ding~Ding Ding~!”
When the wind chimes rang for the second time, the skinny ghost peddler carrying a shoulder pole and a cargo box appeared in front of Cao Yang.
