Chapter 247 Clues Pointing to Ghost Lake
"Are you kidding me? With just a few empty words from you, you think you can persuade me to fight with a ghost-control organization whose headquarters you don't even know. I think you are crazy."
Cao Yang said.
The situation of the Xuan Jing Club is not simple. Although there has only been one negotiation, Cao Yang’s most intuitive feeling is that this club is like a condensed headquarters with its own intelligence system and accurate division of departments and functions.
But this is just the surface. The fact that the club can be maintained for a long time shows that there must be a "stabilizing force" like Old Qin behind it. He can make everyone obedient and act according to the rules. Otherwise, these folk ghost riders would not have been able to behave themselves until now.
"Why, are you afraid of that old guy?"
Liu San seemed to know this club very well, so the old guy he mentioned should be the one who could intimidate everyone.
"What else do you know? After all, this is a fight, you have to show me your sincerity, right? I don't want to be caught in a trap if I don't have all the information."
"So Captain Cao has agreed? Of course I am sincere, but it is not convenient to say it over the phone. One of my paper figures is on the way. Captain Cao just waits for good news."
On the other end of the phone, Liu San's lips curled up into a smile, making his sallow, sickly face look even more weird and creepy.
"It's a pity that Li Leping can't be contacted, otherwise there would be no need to look for a half-baked person like Cao Yang."
Liu San said to himself, with a somewhat teasing and disdainful tone. In fact, he did look down on Cao Yang. To be more precise, there were not many people in the entire spiritual world that he could look up to, and Li Leping was one of them.
Earlier, Liu San had cooperated with Li Leping, the captain of the Dachuan City team, so in his heart he was more inclined to find Li Leping again. The supernatural power of forgetting plus the law of death could kill most people silently.
"Cao Yang is not bad either. He has a very good relationship with the headquarters. He can use his influence to push away all responsibilities. Old Man Lu can't blame me either."
As expected, none of the captains are good people, they are all ruthless people who have crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Before the action is implemented, they have all shirked their responsibilities.
In Otsu City, a man with a sallow, ashen face and strange wrinkles appeared on a street. There was no trace of a living person on him, and even in broad daylight, he exuded a chill, just like a moving corpse.
"Liu San, you are too ostentatious."
However, the next second, a cold and indifferent voice sounded in Liu San's ears, and a feeling of extreme danger instantly erupted. Instinct told Liu San that this person was quite terrifying!
However, Liu San hid the panic at this moment very well. His face looked very bad to begin with, and now it just became a little unnatural.
"Captain Cao came in person. I'm flattered."
The paper man grinned, but it did not make people feel friendly or gentle. Instead, it looked particularly ferocious.
"Since we are in Captain Cao's den of evil, I will just say whatever I want to say. The Xuanjing Club is divided into four departments, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, and enforcing laws and secret investigations. However, the real owner of the club is an old man named Lu, and he usually presides over the overall situation."
"Qi Chaosheng, Xu Zhao, Lin Junting and Chu Xuenian are the heads of the four departments respectively. They call themselves Sima Ming. They each have some subordinates, but their number is small and they do not pose any threat."
"Actually, I'm more curious about why they provoked you to the point where you had to join forces with me to defeat them first."
As soon as Cao Yang finished speaking, Liu San found that he was no longer on the street, but in a simply decorated office, with several golden containers placed undisguisedly in the corner. Obviously, this was where Cao Yang usually worked, and his ghost changed the positions of the two in an instant.
Not only that, Liu San also felt a very faint discomfort, as if there were ants and bugs gnawing at his flesh and blood. But he was just a paper man, he had no flesh and blood at all!
Liu San immediately realized that it was Cao Yang's supernatural power that was affecting him. Although he didn't know what aspect it was specifically targeting, it was definitely not a good thing.
"Captain Cao, do you not believe me?"
"Same here. You only brought a paper man, which means you were ready to sacrifice it at any time. I just helped you turn your idea into reality."
Cao Yang had a blank expression on his face, but his actions were enough to prove his attitude, and it was clear that he did not believe Liu San.
"Okay, I understand. It seems that Captain Cao is different from what the outside world says. Decisiveness and ruthlessness are your style. Since Captain Cao doesn't believe it, you can do whatever you want with this paper man. As for the intelligence, I have put it in the body of the paper man. Captain Cao, remember to contact me after you have reviewed it."
However, the next second, Cao Yang's attack had arrived, the paper man's memory was invaded and seized, and at the same time, the paper man in reality was crushed by a heavy and dead moment, turning into a tattered corpse.
"This Liu San is not lying. The old man from the Xuanjing Club is indeed a terrifying existence. He is about the same age as Old Qin. If nothing unexpected happens, he is also a relic of the Republic of China."
The paper man's memory is quite rich, but it is obvious that Liu San had already tampered with it, because the paper man does not have any valuable memories about Liu San himself, and it seems to be newly made by Liu San.
really.
A foul smell quickly filled the office. Cao Yang took apart the paper man's body and found a corpse that had been dead for a long time inside!
The corpse was that of an ordinary person and had no supernatural powers. It was just put inside a paper mannequin by Liu San.
"Liu San is too cautious. He doesn't understand my supernatural powers, but he has made preparations in advance, without any loopholes. Even the sacrifice of the paper man was premeditated."
Then, Cao Yang found an intelligence file pasted inside the paper man. It was some intelligence about the Xuan Jing Club compiled by Liu San. It was quite detailed, but still did not mention the reason for the conflict between Liu San and the club.
"Interesting, personal grudge, but they want to drag me into this pirate ship."
"Wrongful Death City... the forbidden area of the Xuanjing Club, a mysterious place, an upside-down ancient city, located in the non-existent Ghost Lake in Zhongzhou City."
Ghost Lake, Ghost Lake again!
The ghost market that Wang Xiaoming wants to find is at the bottom of Ghost Lake. The target of the sixth transaction is the evil ghost at the source of Ghost Lake. Now there is the Xuan Jing Club, and they control a mysterious place at the bottom of Ghost Lake.
All incidents point to Ghost Lake, the place used by the older generation of ghost handlers to imprison evil spirits, and a restricted area where no living person can enter.
"If the people in the club knew a way to enter the Ghost Lake safely, maybe I could consider going on such a trip with Liu San. After all, no one wants to take a bath in the Ghost Lake."
Cao Yang pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.
