Chapter 174 Entering the Haunted House Again
"The first person under the shadow? I didn't realize you had such ambition."

Cao Yang would not be moved by Wang Xiaoming's passionate-sounding words. Controlling evil spirits is not a child's game. No matter how well prepared you are, no one can guarantee at which point an accident will occur.

Furthermore, Cao Yang dared to guarantee that even if he died, Wang Xiaoming might have already found the next person to inherit all the ghosts in his body, because the experiment would continue and it would succeed one day.

The experiment may fail countless times, but as long as there is one success, it will be enough to create a captain-level ghost rider like himself.

"Wait, among the supernatural items collected by the headquarters, there is an empty photo frame, and the photo ghost is very likely a piece of the puzzle of the photo frame!"

Wang Xiaoming stood up suddenly. The ghost puzzle theory does have great research value and can also provide some good ideas in experiments.

Then, Wang Xiaoming picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number. Not long after, a golden container about the size of a human head was delivered, and inside it was the photo frame just mentioned.

"I have to say you are really brave. First you wanted the ghost to complete the puzzle, and now you want to take the initiative to complete the puzzle of a supernatural item. If you really lose control, I don't even want to save you."

Cao Yang stretched and said rather dissatisfiedly.

"Some things have to be done by someone. For example, if you are the captain, you are responsible for and in charge of supernatural events in a city group. I am a researcher, and everything I do is to deepen my understanding of the supernatural, which will also make it easier for me to provide you with some help."

"Yes, help me die faster and get rid of this world completely."

"Death may not necessarily be a relief, but may be the beginning of all the pain. You should be able to guess that even if a captain-level ghost rider dies, the ghost in his body will be collected by the headquarters and used to train the next captain. Maybe he will die without a complete body."

Wang Xiaoming didn't take Cao Yang's sarcasm seriously. He liked to measure everything by value. In his eyes, Cao Yang was of extremely high value and worthy of his investment of more energy.

"Give me two days, during which you can consider my plan. If Fang Shiming is not dead, his strength can be comparable to that of a captain, so the ghosts he controls have high research value, and I don't want to let them go easily."

The laboratory was suddenly invaded by a darkness as thick as ink. In the darkness, a figure with a numb expression and empty eyes emerged.

"Wei Jing has stolen the supernatural powers of the ghost messenger, or in other words, he is now a ghost messenger who is active outside. He can easily suppress evil spirits, so it is most appropriate to let him cooperate with me in the experiment."

Wang Xiaoming seemed determined to push Cao Yang to that position.

"Okay, I'll give you two days. You will temporarily keep these three ghosts here. However, I don't trust you. I trust my good colleague Wei Jing. To be more precise, I trust the ghost messenger."

Wei Jing's face was black, his limbs were stiff, and he looked like a corpse that had been dead for a long time. After seeing Cao Yang, he just nodded slightly and greeted him, with no expression on his face.

Cao Yang did not stay here for too long. He used the ghost den to leave directly and his figure disappeared in an instant.

"Cao Yang is an outlier among ghost masters for using ghosts so recklessly."

After a long while, Wei Jing slowly spoke. His voice was cold and hoarse, as if something was stuck in his vocal cords, and it sounded very uncomfortable.

"He possesses more than one kind of ghost. The last time I experimented on him, he apparently gained more from it than I thought. He even managed to defeat Ye Zhen from the Supernatural Forum." "Ye Zhen... that Chuunibyou?"

"Chuunibaku is just a superficial appearance. A person without brains cannot bear the title of Asia's No. 1 ghost rider. Ye Zhen once challenged his entire circle of friends alone and remained undefeated. He also forced Fang Shiming to the point where his evil spirit was almost revived. You have to know that this happened before the starving ghost incident. At that time, Yang Jian was just a rookie."

"The ghost messenger's supernatural powers should be able to suppress him."

"Theoretically, yes, but Ye Zhen is a freak. There is no sign of evil spirits reviving in him. You, who stole the ghost's power, are almost the same as a ghost. Li Jun has to endure the burning of ghost fire day and night. Most ghost riders are tortured by evil spirits and are no longer human. Only Ye Zhen is still cool and coquettish."

"It's time to conduct the experiment. Let's start with the photo ghost. Have headquarters send some death row prisoners over. Now it's their turn to make use of their surplus value..."

In Dajing City, after leaving the experimental center, Cao Yang did not return to the headquarters, but wandered around the city.

Unconsciously, he came to the haunted house on the outskirts of the city again. The side road was still lingering with a lingering cold atmosphere. However, the area near the haunted house had been completely blocked off, and there was even a construction team composed of special staff building a wall around it, as if they were preparing to seal off the entire haunted house.

"The underground world should be below the auxiliary road. It can be said to be a ghost world. In addition, there are graves in the haunted house. This underground world is obviously the work of Qin Lao and Luo Qian. There are countless evil spirits imprisoned in it."

"The grave soil can be used to bury the present. No matter if it is a ghost, a ghost den, or a spiritual place, as long as the medium is triggered, Luo Qian and Old Qin will work together to bury it all underground."

It is now afternoon and the light is bright. The originally eerie haunted house is covered in sunlight and does not look so scary anymore. However, the tomb-like appearance has not changed at all.

“The haunted house has two floors, but in order to meet up with Lin Ye at the time, I did not go to the second floor. Instead, I walked onto the grave dirt road and was forced into the underground world.”

"There are five golden hourglasses on the Eight Immortals Table on the first floor of the haunted house, and four sentences revealing the truth of the world are engraved on the table legs. What will be on the second floor? Is it the truth hidden behind everyone?"

Cao Yang decided to enter the haunted house again to explore what was on the second floor of this ancient house from the Republic of China. Was it a taboo secret or a terrifying ghost?

If it was the latter, Cao Yang would be confident that he could escape unscathed by himself. He still had wind chimes and scapegoats in his hand. He could fight his way out even with the bronze sword at the risk of his life, not to mention the Blood River Ghost Den which was more than five levels strong. These two things would allow him to face most dangers with confidence.

"Go and see."

Cao Yang looked like a ghost and appeared outside the haunted house in just a moment.

The leading construction team leader wanted to stop him, but Cao Yang showed his ID and the other party stopped trying to stop him.

"You can rest today. I am going to intervene in the ancient house again. In order to avoid accidents that may cause unnecessary casualties to you, I suggest that you leave first."

"If anyone from above asks, just say this was an instruction from Captain Cao Yang."
