Chapter 272 The Four People Found
The ferryman's consciousness was forcibly pulled into the memory world, where there were many Cao Yangs, but none of them were the real Cao Yangs. They were just ghost slaves with the same faces as Cao Yang.
But in a sense, these ghost slaves can all be Cao Yang himself, because his essence is a memory, a world of memory, a special spiritual place, and everything in the spiritual place is a part of him.
"This is……"
In the memory world, the ferryman was just a disabled old man with one blind eye and only half of his body. At this moment, he was completely shocked by Cao Yang's method. It's not that he has never encountered attacks on the consciousness level, but Cao Yang is the first one who can do this.
"I have no regrets in death..."
The ferryman's mouth curled up into a relieved smile, but he only had half a body and half a face, and that expression could not be described as peaceful in any way.
Countless ghost slaves surrounded the ferryman. In fact, even if Cao Yang did not take any measures, the ferryman would not be able to survive.
In reality, the consciousness of the ferryman residing in the wooden eyeball was completely annihilated and dissipated, and the eyeball, which had been heavy, suddenly became light.
At the same time, the wooden eyeball began to spontaneously combust, and the flame was a strange white color, but it was not scorching hot. Instead, it emitted a stinging chill.
The flame did not last long and was extinguished in less than three minutes. It also burned directly through Cao Yang's palm and could not be restored in a short period of time.
"What a pity for the lantern in the eyeball."
Cao Yang casually put the eyeball that had lost some of its spiritual power into his pocket. This thing was quite suitable for the captain who had been hiding behind the scenes - Lu Zhiwen.
He was also a mysterious guy who mastered the supernatural powers of prediction and tracking. He himself had become an alien, simply a replica of the Ouija board.
Lu Zhiwen's whole body is made of wood, and this wooden eyeball is tailor-made for him. In the national war, many captains' performance is not strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Jian is the only one who stands out.
It was for this reason that Cao Yang had the idea of strengthening the other captains, such as Wei Jing's dark lantern and Lu Zhiwen's wooden eyeballs.
As for Li Jun, he has enough strength and trump cards, but his understanding of the supernatural is very poor, and no one can help him in this regard, so Cao Yang does not intend to deliberately find any suitable puzzle pieces for Li Jun.
"The second generation of ferrymen is too weak. Even a fully revived half corpse can't even challenge a top captain like Li Leping."
Cao Yang moved his position and came to the ferryman's black-sailed boat. Although the boat had no bottom, it was extremely stable. No matter how turbulent the water was, the boat always remained motionless.
"You trespassed into Ghost Lake and killed a senior. Young man, you are really capable."
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
Just after killing the ferryman, another black boat floated over, with four strange figures standing on it. The leader was a one-eyed hunchbacked old man. It was not accurate to call him an old man, because he was only in his early fifties, not yet sixty, but he looked old. Next to him, there was another man of similar age, a little mediocre, who was obviously Cao Yang's old acquaintance - Boss Liu. In addition, there was a woman who looked fierce and ferocious, and was obviously not easy to mess with; the last one was a tall faceless man.
The person who just spoke was the old man in the lead. They each held an old-fashioned oil lamp covered with sticky black oil. The old man also held a worn enamel cup in his hand, but it was not a supernatural object, just an ordinary thing.
At the same time, the woman next to him also started to join in.
"These young men, who haven't even grown all their hair yet, came to our place and not only caused trouble, but also killed our elders. Lao He, let's teach them a lesson today and let them know what it means to respect elders."
The woman's voice was hoarse, and her tone could not hide her disgust and dissatisfaction with Cao Yang. It was obvious that the two of them had never met each other, but it acted as if there was a deep hatred between them.
Boss Liu looked a little embarrassed. He and Cao Yang had known each other for a long time. He admired this young man very much. He was courageous, resolute, and calm in times of crisis. Moreover, the psychic circle also had invisible rules. If the seniors killed the juniors at will, they would be criticized if they were known.
He wanted to step forward and act as a peacemaker, but was stopped by the one-eyed old man who was in the lead.
"No matter what, even if the ferryman is not strong, he is your predecessor just like us. Today's matter must be explained, otherwise the rules of these old guys in Taiping Ancient Town will be in vain."
The one-eyed old man called Lao He had a solemn expression on his face. He naturally realized that Cao Yang was not simple, but the ferryman was also an old man in Taiping Ancient Town. He couldn't just watch his old friend being killed and remain indifferent.
"The necromancer He Liansheng, the laundrywoman Wang Mingyu, the owner of the Taiping Inn Liu Chengjun, also known as Boss Liu; and the faceless man Gu Li."
Cao Yang calmly told the code names and even the real names of the four people on the boat, and the one-eyed old man and the woman's faces changed instantly.
They had retired from the supernatural circle a long time ago. These code names and titles were not even worth mentioning in the supernatural circle at that time. Newspaper Ghost Yang Xiao and Heavenly Dao Zhang Xianguang were known as the two heroes of the supernatural circle. No one among the ghost masters of the same generation could cover up their brilliance.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the others are not strong enough. The other five of the six paths of reincarnation also stood at the top of the spiritual circle at that time. There were others, such as ghost walkers, ghost herders, corpse guards, mourners, etc. Which one of them was not amazing?
"They are here to check my household registration."
He Liansheng snorted coldly. Although his words were still dissatisfied, they were not as strong as before. Obviously, the information Cao Yang had just revealed was true. The person who could find out this was definitely not a simple person.
"I'm Cao Yang, the captain of the headquarters. I've come here specially to deal with the Ghost Lake incident. The ferryman you mentioned was the one who provoked me first, and he was the first to attack. He was killed by me because he was not as skilled as me. So, you three old guys want to ask for an explanation for him?"
Everyone can put on a bad face, but the prerequisite is to have enough capital.
Cao Yang didn't know whether the laundry lady and the faceless man had the capital, but he was absolutely sure that he could defeat He Liansheng, the mage who had a long pre-swing, in an instant. If he didn't give him the opportunity to summon souls, the laundry lady and the faceless man would not be a concern at all.
"Old He, young man, how about we both take a step back and jointly investigate and deal with Ghost Lake? Captain Cao Yang came from the headquarters to deal with the Ghost Lake incident; we old guys also came for Ghost Lake, so why don't we join forces?"
At this time, Boss Liu got rid of He Liansheng's obstruction and finally stood up to act as a peacemaker.
