Chapter 227: An Attack Across the Supernatural and Reality
After leaving the paper-making shop, Cao Yang walked deeper into the ancient bluestone street.

However, the deeper you go, the more desolate the streets become. At the beginning, there were a few scattered shops, but later on, there was only a bare expanse of land. Only the bluestone road was still there, continuing to extend, extending into the darkness for who knows how far.

"What's at the end of the road? Wang Xiaoming said there's a ghost market in the lost ancient city at the bottom of Ghost Lake. Boss Liu also suspected that the group of old people in Taiping Ancient Town went to a lost ancient city. Could it be the same one?"

Cao Yang stood in the middle of the street, looking far into the darkness at the end of the road.

"It's time to leave. It's getting dark and there are only ten minutes left before Ghost Street closes."

Ghost Street will close at six in the evening. This is information Cao Yang has known for a long time. If he hasn't left by six o'clock, no one knows what will happen, but it will definitely not be a good thing.

In Taiping Ancient Town, Cao Yang, who had returned to reality, saw the stone bridge he had come from at a glance. However, there were quite a few people gathered around the stone bridge, including special personnel in police uniforms who were holding cameras to record something, and a cordon had been set up around the bridge.

"problem occurs."

Cao Yang walked over quickly, holding his Interpol ID in his hand, and no one stopped him.

There was a river under the stone bridge. The water was clear and cold, and it had obviously been eroded by the ghost lake. However, a corpse was floating on the water. The skin was pale, and the long hair obscured the facial features.

What was strange was that the body had been soaked in water for a long time, but there was no sign of swelling. Apart from the pale skin color, there were no obvious signs of drowning. The forensic doctor was at a loss for a moment.

"Go ahead, I'll take over this matter now."

Cao Yang showed his ID, and the worried captain seemed to have found his backbone in an instant, and led the team away tactfully.

However, Cao Yang ignored the female corpse that was salvaged, but turned his attention to the river under the bridge.

Ordinary people can't see it, but as a ghost rider, Cao Yang can naturally sense the anomaly under the water. In his vision, bubbles are bubbling under the seemingly calm water surface, as if a hole has been poked in the bottom of the water.

"The water contaminated by the supernatural is still eroding the real water. The Ghost Lake incident has begun to ferment again."

Although Zhongzhou City's economy is not very good, its water system is quite developed. The upper reaches of this river flow through DQ City, and the lower reaches pass through ZS City and Dachang City. Both places have captain-level ghost riders in charge, and the influence range is extremely large. As long as Liu San and Yang Jian pay attention, they will soon discover the abnormality.

"We really have to intervene. Boss Liu's solution of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is not out of the question, but I don't think I can do it alone. In addition, we must also pay attention to the transaction with the Ghost Peddler. There is no point in procrastinating. When the deadline for the transaction comes, the Ghost Peddler will still come."

Cao Yang casually threw the female corpse contaminated with ghosts into the deep of the blood river. The pale female corpse without blood on its body actually showed some signs of struggle, but was soon torn to pieces by the hands in the blood river.

The female corpse was just a ghost slave that was infected by the supernatural power of the Ghost Lake. It would be easy for the ghost handler to deal with it, but it would still cause considerable trouble to ordinary people. As the captain, Cao Yang would naturally not let this happen.

"We have to go to Dazhou City and find the old house first. We can't wait until the situation becomes urgent before taking action."

Cao Yang's figure flashed, and he directly activated the Ghost Den Transformation Rainbow and headed towards Dazhou City.

Dazhou City is not far from Zhongzhou City, and Cao Yang didn't spend too much time to get there. Although it is close to Dachang City, which Zhongshan is in charge of, he does not intend to contact the other party. After all, it involves some of his private affairs, and he does not want others to know. "Dazhou City, originally joined the economic circle of Dachang City, and it was called Dazhou to develop together with several surrounding cities."

A cold ghost wind swept over the city in an instant, and Cao Yang soon discovered several unusual places.

"A bank vault, a safe house, a sealed area, and... a forest of trees that looked black and dead."

"found it."

The reason why Dazhou City has been so peaceful in recent years is all thanks to the existence of the ancient house. All the evil spirits, big or small, have been buried in the old forest without exception. The more terrifying ones have been thrown into the ancient house and suppressed by Zhang Dong. It is impossible not to be peaceful.

There was nothing wrong with the forest itself. Although the color was strange, they were all ordinary trees. However, Cao Yang's ghost den was seriously disturbed here, and he could not see the truth behind it.

Cao Yang's figure appeared outside the old forest. This place is located near the suburbs of Dazhou City. Even the road next to it has only one lane. Few people or cars pass by, and there is a desolate and abandoned atmosphere everywhere.

Without hesitation, Cao Yang directly opened the Blood River Ghost Den. As the blood river churned, the black forest was also twisting a little bit, and the mysterious place hidden behind the forest was gradually revealed.

In the field of vision, a winding dirt road suddenly appeared in the old forest, and the light suddenly dimmed, as if the light of the street lamps was blocked. Not only that, the surroundings suddenly became dead and gloomy, even the occasional bird calls disappeared, and the sound and light seemed to be isolated.

The path continued deep into the old forest, and at the end of the path there appeared an old wooden house. The old house was a bungalow structure, and it seemed to have been abandoned for many years.

The door of the old house was half-open, revealing the deep and thick darkness inside, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

However, there were two red lanterns hanging above the gate, emitting scarlet lights, which looked eye-catching and eerie.

"The door is half open. Could it be that Zhang Dong is still alive?"

Cao Yang was still hesitating, but at this moment, he seemed to hear a faint sound of footsteps, very light and vague, but definitely there.

Immediately afterwards, the old forest in front of him stopped distorting, and Cao Yang's ghost den was forcibly taken back at some point, as if some inexplicable spiritual force interrupted Cao Yang's invasion of the old forest at that moment and cut off this connection.

Not only that, Cao Yang himself seemed to be blind for a moment, his brain stopped working, his eyes were blurred, as if he had Alzheimer's disease.

This was a powerful spiritual invasion that overcame the alternative protection provided by the memory ghost at the conscious level, and also overcame Cao Yang's own level of terror, directly causing him to fall into this level of dementia.

Cao Yang himself was aware of the supernatural invasion, but he was unable to stop it. The attack was so terrifying that even now he had no room for resistance.

Fortunately, this state did not last long, and Cao Yang quickly regained consciousness. Moreover, the attack just now did not cause any fatal injuries or sequelae, as if it was just a lesson and warning given to him by someone.

"The first person in the Republic of China is truly terrifying."
