Chapter 224 Letter

"The human skin bag is useless now. The ghost candle and the surrogate doll are too low-level to be effective against the ghost peddler. The wind chime comes from the peddler himself, so it's unlikely to have any effect."

In the safe house on the basement floor of Beichen Building, Cao Yang counted the supplies in his hands. There were indeed a lot of them, but only a few of them could really help him deal with the ghost peddler.

"The bronze sword can be used, but once the peddler opens the cargo box and the ghost den, it will be useless. We have to be on guard against this. But I only have ghost blood, so this is the only way to escape."

After much thought, Cao Yang still believed that he should find the ancient house. Apart from anything else, the ghost peddler would definitely not be able to fight against Zhang Dong. But the problem came again. If Zhang Dong was already dead, it would be an indiscriminate attack. I am afraid that I will be suppressed in the ancient house forever with the peddler.

Zhang Dong deals with the ghost peddler, so who will deal with Zhang Dong?
"Take the ghost money and the human skin bag. If all else fails, see if I can sell it to the peddler. I still have the ghost painting and ghost window. Maybe I can talk to Li Jun and Boss Liu about it. I can hide in there and let them fish me out, and then trap the ghost peddler inside."

The more Cao Yang thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He should not have put the Hundred-Eyed Ghost into the bag. A lot of his supplies were stored in it. Now the bag was ruined, and he had to take the risk if he wanted to take it out.

"I was impulsive. I have to be careful with my pockets."

In desperation, Cao Yang had to use a body bag. The person who invented this thing must be a genius. Not only can it trap ghosts, it is also perfect as a simple backpack. One can even hide in it to avoid the spotlight in times of crisis.

"Captain Cao, there's a letter for you."

Wang Quan appeared at the office door and knocked softly while reminding.

"letter?"

Cao Yang was a little confused. Is there still anyone writing letters in this day and age?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility - a ghost post office!

"No, that's not possible. A ghost post office shouldn't send letters to living people."

"Who sent it?"

Wang Quan scratched his head and replied apologetically, "It was sent to the building by a crazy woman. I have checked it and there is nothing wrong with the letter. For security reasons, we did not open the letter to check, nor did we control the woman, but our men are already following her."

"Ghost Controller?"

Cao Yang took the letter. It was indeed just an ordinary letter. Neither its material nor its content contained any supernatural elements.

However, what Cao Yang cared about most was this envelope. There was a red stripe on the surface of the envelope. This thing was called a "red stripe seal" and was used to write the recipient's name.

But this envelope feels a bit rough, the paper is wrinkled and yellowed, and it looks like it is quite old. As for the red-striped envelope, it was a common style of envelope used for writing letters during the Republic of China period.

"A letter from a person in the Republic of China? Or is this a letter sent from the Republic of China to the present?"

Cao Yang even used the ghost to check it several times, and he felt relieved only after confirming that there was really no problem with the letter.

"Where is that woman?"

"We are now at Tianshu Road. The characteristics are very obvious. She is a crazy woman."

Before Wang Quan could finish his words, a gust of cold ghost wind blew by and Cao Yang's figure disappeared.

On Tianshu Road in Otsu City, a mad woman, mumbling something, walked recklessly on the main road. Passersby kept their distance and did not approach her easily.

The crazy woman didn't care at all. The traffic lights were just decorations in her eyes. She walked recklessly on the road, causing many drivers to stick their heads out and curse. Kong Heng was one of them. "Damn it, crazy woman, you want to die, right? Next time I see you, I will hit you to death..."

But before Kong Heng finished speaking, the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and a cold wind blew past, and he couldn't help shivering. When he came to his senses, he found that the crazy woman in the middle of the road had disappeared, as if he had hallucinated.

However, the traces of my sudden braking reflected in the rearview mirror were very clear on the ground, which proved that something must have happened just now, otherwise I would not have suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"Isn't it a ghost?"

Kong Heng looked around nervously. The sun was shining brightly overhead and people were still coming and going all around him. Even the drivers behind him were honking their horns frantically. Only then did he calm down and drive away in his old car.

However, in the middle of the road, Cao Yang opened his ghost cave, and the crazy woman was also pulled into the ghost cave. The crazy woman was not a ghost driver, but just an ordinary person, and her madness was not caused by the spirit, but should be natural.

"This woman is just crazy. Someone must have instructed her to send the letter."

Cao Yang did not show up. He just looked at the crazy woman coldly. Even in the ghost den, she did not show any normal reaction. She was still staggering around and mumbling something in her mouth, which sounded quite rhythmic.

After observing for another three minutes, the crazy woman still didn't notice anything unusual, or perhaps she simply didn't have this ability.

Cao Yang ignored it and quietly took back the ghost. At the same time, he took out the letter and quickly opened it.

Like the envelope, the letter paper inside also felt quite rough, and was also yellowed and dark, obviously an old item that had been stored for many years.

The content of the letter is very simple, with only four simple sentences:

"When the wind and water are rising, the world is in the bag; under the blood lake, who can survive?"

Four sentences, sixteen words, sounded very literary, but just as Cao Yang finished reading these sixteen words, the crazy woman began to shout:
"When the wind and water are rising, the world is in the bag; under the blood lake, who can survive?"

The woman's voice was melodious and clear. Cao Yang then noticed that the woman was quite pretty and could be spotted at a glance in a crowd.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden movement on Cao Yang's private phone. It was a call from an unfamiliar number.

Cao Yang suppressed his doubts and answered the phone. An old voice instantly came from the other end of the phone.

"Young man, how are you these days?"

"I believe you can also sense that the era of the supernatural and evil spirits has truly arrived, and my old bones won't last long."

"After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to write you a letter. Maybe it will be helpful to you now."

"The future is in your hands, but this world has no future. The power of one person is limited. I hope that your existence can do something for this era, even if it is only a tiny bit."

"If someone is to be the executioner in the light, then someone needs to be the redeemer in the darkness."

"Do something, monitor, and encourage. If everyone acts like an island, you won't have what you have now."

“Those who carry firewood for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow. You must live to that time and witness the truth of this world.”
