Chapter 276 Opening the Coffin

Some gravel, some silt, and the lake at the end of the sight was constantly emitting a series of bubbles, as if it was boiling. There was a half-dead old corpse there, with its upper body highly rotten, and only the head was intact. There was no trace of life in the pair of dead and horrified eyes.

"It looks a bit like the corpse on the dome of the ghost market in the City of the Dead."

Cao Yang's gaze did not linger for too long. The sinking of the Ghost Lake was divided into levels and layers. The higher the degree of terror, the deeper it sank. Half of the body of the old corpse could sink to the bottom of the lake. It was hard to imagine how terrifying a complete old corpse would be. In addition, there was another reason. Cao Yang only looked at it unilaterally, but he felt an external spirit invading him in the opposite direction. It was obviously the spirit of the old corpse that was influencing him.

"It's so scary."

Cao Yang took out the wooden eyeball of the ferryman from his pocket. The light at the bottom of the lake was dim and visibility was very low. Since this piece of wood was carved into the shape of an eyeball, it was obviously used to see things clearly. Although he intended to give it to Lu Zhiwen to control, it did not prevent him from using it temporarily.

suddenly see the light!
This was Cao Yang's feeling after installing the wooden eyeballs. His vision suddenly became broad and bright, and he could see the entire scene at the bottom of the lake.

Not far away, a large black coffin attracted Cao Yang's attention. To be precise, this coffin was his real target.

"The source ghost of Ghost Lake, the missing Captain Yin Zi, and the secrets of Taiping Ancient Town decades ago are all in this coffin."

Cao Yang walked slowly towards the coffin. He knew that the source ghost of the Ghost Lake did not exist in reality, but was just a supernatural phenomenon. Ordinary people and ordinary ghost riders would be melted and suppressed as long as they came into contact with the lake water.

But Cao Yang is different. The ghost blood and turbid water spreading in the lake have reached a delicate balance with the Ghost Lake. He will not dissolve and can even move freely in the water.

The black coffin was quite large and lay quietly at the bottom of the lake. The black paint on it had become mottled and peeled off, revealing the dark brown wood inside. It seemed that the coffin had been soaked in the lake for a long time.

Not only that, a corner of the coffin lid was opened, and a few strange wisps of long black hair floated out from it, swaying in the lake like water plants.

"When the old people in Taiping Ancient Town sent the coffin away, the Ghost Lake should have already existed. The older generation would not have let a coffin filled with ghosts drift aimlessly to other places on a small boat to harm more people."

Cao Yang looked at the coffin in front of him. Although he wanted to kick it over, his reason told him not to do so.

At the same time, he also overturned some clues provided by Boss Liu before, such as the cause of the ghost lake. However, Boss Liu's words are also quite credible. The female ghost crying all day in the coffin and the old man in the ancient town sending the coffin away are all real events.

"Open the coffin and everything will become clear."

That vague connection became more and more obvious and stronger, as if the water of the water ghost lake was blending and eroding with the water of the ghost lake. You are in me and I am in you, and the two kinds of water began to become indistinguishable from each other.

Cao Yangneng was then aware of some of his own situations. He had entered and occupied the body of an evil ghost in the form of memories. He was an alien from another dimension and he himself was also a fully revived ghost.

"The water ghosts and the ghost lake have indeed undergone some inexplicable changes. However, the biggest danger is still this coffin. It seems that something inside is spying on my actions."

Through the corner of the black coffin that was opened, Wooden Eyes saw something that ordinary people could not see: a special female corpse, which was also the source of the long black hair floating outside.

"The source ghost of Ghost Lake has the ability to learn, and it reversely controlled Shen Lin, so it was able to invade his memory. Liu San was infected with a curse, and it learned to split itself."

"If it was me who was invaded, what supernatural powers would Ghost Lake learn from me?" "No, I cannot be invaded. The ghost followed Shen Lin into the memory world. It can be killed. It is not a ghost in the full sense. If it enters the memory world, it can also be killed by me, and then steal the supernatural powers of Ghost Lake."

Cao Yang did not open the coffin rashly. The coffin was like a blind box. When Shen Lin opened it, there was only a pool of water and a few strands of long black hair inside. However, when Yang Jian opened the coffin, he saw Yin Zi's body. This was very abnormal.

"No one can say for sure whether a ghost or a beautiful woman will appear after Schrödinger's coffin is opened."

Despite this, Cao Yang still chose to open the coffin. He could move freely without stealing the supernatural powers of Ghost Lake. Even if Ghost Lake really attacked him suddenly, the worst that could happen was that he left his body and invaded back to Otsu City directly through his memory.

The wooden eyeball can see through ghosts and see the truth, but the supernatural is full of uncertainty. There are countless examples of what you see is not necessarily true. Cao Yang only believes in his own personal experience.

"Wow——!"

He forcibly opened the heavy and mottled coffin lid, and a female corpse with a ruddy face, as if she had just died, was exposed in the lake. The female corpse was still wearing the same uniform as Cao Yang.

Captain Silver!

An internally designated captain who was suspected to have investigated the Ghost Post Office and became a messenger, but later disappeared. She had become a ghost rider very early on, and it is no exaggeration to say that she was from the same period as Wei Jing and Feng Quan.

But now, Yin Zi's body has become the carrier of the evil ghost at the source of the Ghost Lake, and Cao Yang has long known this.

The moment the coffin lid was opened, the originally diluted ghost blood condensed again. Cao Yang tried to restrain the ghost before he could react.

However, this is Ghost Lake's home ground. Even though Cao Yang had made preparations long ago, he was still a step too slow. Yin Zi's body melted quickly the moment it was exposed to the lake water, and merged with Ghost Lake in an instant, leaving only a set of clothes floating in the lake.

In desperation, Cao Yang had to let the condensed ghost blood adhere to the surface of his body to form a simple and effective layer of protection.

However, behind him, a cold and pale female hand rested on his shoulder, and that part of the ghost blood was instantly diluted, leaving a deep palm print on it.

At the same time, the palm shrank back quickly as if it was electrocuted, but the invasion of Ghost Lake was still successful. The cold and numb feeling quickly spread throughout Cao Yang's body. His limbs became stiff and cold, and it became difficult for him to move.

Not only that, the part of the body that was touched by the palm actually emitted wisps of black smoke, as if it was burnt, and soon a large piece of it was missing.

The light around suddenly became dim, as if something was blocking the view.

"It's the hair."

The wooden eyeball saw it very clearly. The scattered hair that was originally floating in the air gathered together strangely, completely surrounding Cao Yang like a shield covering the sky. A female corpse with rosy skin seemed to appear out of thin air and lay quietly on Cao Yang's back.
