Chapter 123 Blockade of Donghai County

This strange man, the Ghost Peddler, seems to be everywhere. No matter where Cao Yang is, as long as the transaction is started, he will always appear accurately within three minutes.

Cao Yang did not start the transaction immediately, but instead focused his attention on this ghost peddler who looked increasingly familiar.

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like you are becoming more and more like me?"

It didn't seem to be an illusion. The strange man in front of him gave Cao Yang a very familiar feeling, both in terms of figure and movements, just like looking in a mirror.

What concerned him more was the appearance and arrival of the Ghost Peddler. It would definitely not take more than three minutes for it to appear next to Cao Yang and trade with him. This alone was enough to make Cao Yang rack his brains.

"In the memory ghost incident in Otsu City, even in the memory world, the ghost peddler was able to invade, and I can guarantee that it was preparing to attack me at that time. But in the end, the ghost was forcibly changed to look like me."

The ghost peddler stood there, with a circle of black cloth tightly wrapped around his head. After experiencing the memory ghost incident, Cao Yang was extremely suspicious of the ghost peddler's true appearance. If he had not been weak, he would really want to tear off the black cloth to find out.

Although Cao Yang took the initiative to start the transaction and had no intention of delivering the goods until now, the ghost peddler was not in a hurry at all, just like a patient uncle. He slowly put down the shoulder pole, and the wind chimes jingled in the process, which seemed to dispel some of the cold air.

After thinking for three minutes, Cao Yang finally didn't have the courage to touch the ghost peddler. This thing was said to be a curse, but the ghost scissors could not cut it. It was simply targeting him.

"ghost."

Cao Yang did not lower his voice. At this moment, he took the initiative to trigger the silent pattern.

In an instant, a cold wind blew up in the silent county town, and the already dim street lights made a "hissing" sound. An unknown supernatural being was affecting the county town.

A lingering shadow formed under the extinguished street lights.

A cold and thin figure gradually emerged from the shadows. It was a little girl without eyes, with only a pair of dark eye sockets left. The little girl was dirty and covered with bruises, like a dead body.

"coming."

Cao Yang's heart trembled. This was the first time he faced Jingqiao. If we look at the exponential growth rate of the transaction difficulty, the bwg ancient corpse is A-level, and Jingqiao is definitely the top one among the A-level ghosts. And based on the particularity of idealism, Jingqiao is undoubtedly S-level, and is even more difficult to deal with than starving ghosts and ghost messengers.

Although the strange-looking little girl was missing some of her facial features, the expression on her face carried an inexplicable ferocity. Her empty eye sockets stared at Cao Yang, obviously staring at him.

But Cao Yang was not afraid. He had a powerful backer behind him. Wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with a little girl like you?
Cao Yang approached the ghost peddler without hesitation, but the little girl in the shadow pounced towards Cao Yang in a strange posture.

In mid-air, the dirty figure of the little girl who was approaching Cao Yang was disappearing little by little, and there were signs that she was eroding Cao Yang's body.

But this trend only lasted for a few seconds. The ghost peddler behind him stretched out a skinny and shriveled hand and grabbed the little girl who was flying towards him.

However, it was these few seconds that made Cao Yang feel great pain. Half of his chest became cold and numb because of the invasion, as if it was completely scrapped. Fortunately, the flesh and blood of the ancient corpse that was replaced before provided a weak resistance, allowing Cao Yang to barely regain some consciousness.

The ferocious little girl was like a soft corpse at this moment, being picked up by the strange peddler with one hand. The ghost peddler looked at her with his stiff neck slightly turning it as if he was holding a piece of merchandise.

About three to five minutes later, the peddler, who had finished collecting the goods, lifted up a corner of the cargo box on the carrying pole and forcibly stuffed the little girl in.

"The delivery is complete. The last one in the world is quietly imprisoned by the ghost peddler. As long as no one else triggers the rule, it shouldn't cause me trouble." After completing the delivery, Cao Yang also distanced himself from the ghost peddler, waiting for him to pay for the goods.

This time, the ghost peddler acted quickly. He took off the remaining string of wind chimes on the cargo box and wanted to hand it to Cao Yang.

Cao Yang felt overwhelmed. It was the wind chimes again. Although wind chimes were very useful, they should not be played with like this.

"Okay, I admit it. I want to see what you will give me next time. Let me tell you in advance that I want this cloth you are wearing, you know."

There was no choice, so Cao Yang took the wind chimes from the ghost peddler and counted them carefully. There were as many as twenty-four.

"Last time it was twelve, this time it is twenty-four, which means there are 36 wind chimes in this string. What does this number mean?"

"Also, this wind chime is not a good thing. I accidentally used one in a tattoo parlor before, and the talisman paper is still attached to my body and has not fallen off."

Cao Yang lowered his head slightly. On his chest was indeed a piece of old and rough talisman paper, the length of a finger, with runes and patterns that humans could not understand drawn on it in a crooked manner.

“Isn’t this thing also a curse?”

Suddenly, Cao Yang thought of a possibility. The talisman paper had not caused any harm to him so far, but there was no doubt that the talisman paper was a supernatural product. This kind of delayed supernatural power was very consistent with the characteristics of a curse.

"Let's deal with them all together after we get the Demon Scissors. This thing is also a hidden danger. I can't accept carrying a time bomb with me."

Although it was awkward, Cao Yang didn't want to get involved in the bad luck of dealing with yellow paper at this time.

"It's time to leave."

After putting away the wind chime, Cao Yang used the ghost den to quickly leave Donghai County.

Looking back, the county town was still dead silent and dark, with an indescribable strange atmosphere lingering in the town.

"It's not that easy to deal with idealistic ghosts. All I can do is try to prevent the next one from appearing quietly."

Cao Yang took out his satellite phone and estimated the time. Dajing City should be safe for the time being.

"Han Yu, no matter what method you use, I have authorized you to seal off the entire Donghai County with the highest level of alert. I have arranged for people to monitor and guard it 24 hours a day, and I will never allow any ordinary person to enter the county at will."

"In addition, if any ghost rider wants to enter Donghai County, they must report to the headquarters and me in advance. If you can't do it regarding the authority in this regard, go to Shen Liang, he will take care of it."

Han Yu was a little surprised by Cao Yang's resolute and cautious attitude, but she could not interfere with the decision of the person in charge. After all, they were the ones who were at the forefront of supernatural events.

"Understood. I will arrange for local personnel, but a complete blockade may require Captain Shen's instructions."

"You decide on your own, I only care about the results. If any ghost rider breaks into Donghai County at will, I hope the headquarters won't blame me for being ruthless."
