Chapter 127 Wading in troubled waters

The plan to bring the ghost paintings to Dajing City has already determined the candidates, and Cao Yang is indeed not among them. The candidates who enter the ghost painting world are determined by Wang Xiaoming, and the candidates who are responsible for dealing with the escaped evil spirits outside are required to have strong survival ability.

As for survivability, the headquarters has more suitable candidates than Cao Yang.

Three hours had passed since the operation began, and the five-member team that entered the ghost painting had all lost contact. Under normal circumstances, this operation should be considered a failure. But Wang Xiaoming seemed to have been prepared, so the headquarters once again fell into an anxious wait.

But not long after, something strange happened. The dark coffin-shaped ghost cave around the training base disappeared, and the ghost cave with ghost paintings also disappeared. Everything seemed to have never existed. However, there were five figures in the open space. They had one thing in common: there was a hole of the same size on their palms. The area around the hole was grayish white, as if a part was missing, or a wound left by a sharp weapon.

The weird thing is that the missing part of each person is exactly the same size, with no difference at all.

Yang Jian was the first one to discover it. He came to join in the fun and check out the situation, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

Soon, some drones flew over and took pictures of this strange scene and transmitted them back to the headquarters. The headquarters responded immediately and asked Chen Yi and Zhong Shan who were present to implement the ghost-luring plan that had been agreed upon before.

Not far from the training base, on a blocked street, Chen Yi and Zhong Shan received the news almost at the same time. Their expressions were solemn, and they had no idea what might happen next, but they had no choice but to go ahead.

It was a dim night with only a faint light reflected from afar. The road was empty and the silence was eerie. There was not even the sound of an insect in the surrounding green belts or even in the woods. Just by standing here, they could feel a chilly breath gradually encroaching on them.

"Oh? It's quite lively."

Just like what was written in the original book, the hot-tempered Chen Yi had a conflict with Guo Fan. At this moment, Chen Yi wanted to punch Guo Fan, while Zhong Shan was trying to persuade them.

Cao Yang's sudden appearance made the two men stop what they were doing, and Chen Yi's face became a little excited.

"Cao Yang? Why are you here? My things..."

To be honest, it was the first time that Zhong Shan saw Chen Yi treat others with such an attitude. Chen Yi was well-known for his temper in the supernatural circle.

"Sorry, my ability is limited."

"Okay, but thank you for helping me anyway."

Although the exchange between the two was brief, Zhong Shan, who was standing by, sensed something different.

"There won't be any py transactions between these two people, right?"

But in reality, he didn't have time to think about it. The five ghosts that came out of the ghost painting were approaching, and the ghost-luring plan had to start now. At this time, the three of them didn't care about why Cao Yang came here, because the ghost was very close.

"Implementation plan, Guo Fan!"

When facing other people, Chen Yi returned to his original temper.

However, the plan to lure in ghosts went wrong. Guo Fan, who was filled with deathly aura, did not light the ghost candle as planned. The five ghosts who looked like a team of ghost riders seemed to be targeting everyone present, and the extreme coldness began to invade their bodies... Even Cao Yang was affected.

"Damn it, I should have known not to get involved in this."

Cao Yang's face changed, and the gravity ghost den expanded instantly, but it only covered himself and did not include Zhong Shan and Chen Yi.

"Damn it, this is the right time for something to go wrong."

Chen Yi's face darkened, and his slightly loose skin formed layers of wrinkles, which made him look very gloomy in this dim environment. "I can't care about that anymore. Guo Fan has lost control. Let's take him away with us."

Zhong Shan wanted to say something, but ultimately stopped himself.

Chen Yi took out a specially made golden candlestick with a pale white candle on top and a long needle at the bottom. Then, he lit the white ghost candle without hesitation and inserted the candlestick directly into Guo Fan's shoulder.

Adapt to circumstances, these four words are vividly reflected in Chen Yi. But obviously, his decision was correct. Zhongshan held another white ghost candle and walked in front of Guo Fan, while "Guo Fan" had a white ghost candle stuck on his body, which also played the role of attracting ghosts.

However, the originally smooth operation went wrong when Chen Yi was about to replace the ghost candle. Guo Fan, whose body was suspected to have been taken over by an evil spirit, stared at him the moment Chen Yi extinguished the ghost candle.

The chill that was so cold that it almost froze people to death constantly stimulated Chen Yi's senses.

Danger, extremely dangerous!
This was Chen Yi's instinct as a ghost rider. The ghost that Guo Fan rode was much more terrifying than imagined. The ghost stretched out a cold hand and grabbed Chen Yi's arm tightly, preventing him from retreating.

At this time, Cao Yang moved, and the ghost den instantly covered Guo Fan and Chen Yi. A thin black shadow appeared beside Guo Fan, ready to carry the person on his back, ready to carry the terrifying evil ghost on his back at any time.

Then, Cao Yang appeared beside Chen Yi. He stretched out a foot and kicked the evil ghost. The law of death if out of balance made the ghost's body stiffen, and the hand that was holding Chen Yi loosened. Chen Yi gasped and broke free from the restraints.

At the same time, the attack of the ghost carrying a man came suddenly. The evil ghost's body shook, and another law of certain death fell on him.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi relit the ghost candle, and a strange ghost rider walked out of the surrounding darkness. He was recruited by the headquarters to provide support to prevent any unexpected changes in the ghost-luring plan.

Now, he has to take over from Guo Fan and Zhong Shan and lead the ghost into the haunted house.

But fate always likes to play jokes. The moment the strange ghost rider took over the ghost candle, the five ghosts that had been following him had approached him at some point and were less than three meters away from him.

"Damn, are you kidding me?
The man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Who could withstand five ghosts with unknown patterns and levels of terror?

Chen Yi's condition was not much better at this time. The skin on his body was wriggling more and more violently, as if there was another person attached to his skin. As it was wriggling, the outlines of his hands, feet, and facial features were clearly revealed under his skin.

Although Zhong Shan wanted to help, he was too far away to make it, so he had to hold up the white ghost candle in his hand, hoping to help share some of the danger.

"Fuck it, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

Cao Yang's face looked very ugly at this time. If he had known earlier, he should not have come here.

The gravity ghost den expanded again, covering the strange ghost rider. At the same time, Cao Yang blew out the evil white ghost candle. The influence of the two white ghost candles existed at the same time. God knows whether it would directly trigger the ghost's laws and make the ghost attack people.

Cao Yang's heart sank, and he made way. Chen Yi was already trying to detain the out-of-control Guo Fan, while the ghost rider and Cao Yang were confronting the five evil ghosts with numb expressions.

Without any hesitation, the ghost den covered the five ghosts. The ghost carrying a man appeared next to "Ghost Liu San", and Cao Yang kicked directly, trying to solve the problem directly.

At the same time, another ghost rider was not idle either. He used his own evil ghost power to temporarily restrain the ghost Li Jun.

Then, several strange figures walked out of the surrounding darkness. They were all ghost handlers arranged by the headquarters. Since the situation was out of control, they could only try to forcibly restrain the five ghosts.
