Chapter 280 Blood Lake
Zhongzhou City, Taiping Ancient Town.
After burying Wang Mingyu, He Liansheng, Boss Liu and the faceless man Gu Li returned to the town.
"Boss Liu, the two of you can tell me whether we, the older generation, should intervene in the matter of Ghost Lake."
He Liansheng was in a low mood, no longer as strong and aggressive as before. At this moment, he was more in line with the image of a one-eyed old man: lonely and old.
"Of course we have to. You have lived in seclusion in the ancient town for many years, wanting to protect this piece of land, which is not wrong. But the Ghost Lake is not something you can deal with. An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, not to mention that we have no ability to deal with the Ghost Lake at all."
Boss Liu changed his usual lazy and smooth attitude and spoke with a serious expression.
"I'm quite familiar with that young man Cao Yang. He's from the headquarters and he's here to solve the incident. If we join forces with him, we still have a chance to make amends."
At this time, the faceless man Gu Li came over, stretched out his two hands and gestured in the air:
"I agree with Boss Liu's suggestion. Let's work together with Cao Yang to deal with Ghost Lake. Maybe we can rescue her."
"That's right, then let's take a break and then go find Cao Yang."
He Liansheng nodded and agreed to the suggestions of the two old friends.
Ghost Lake, somewhere beneath the pitch-black surface of the lake, the water here appears a strange grayish-white color, mixed with streaks of blood.
At the deepest part of the lake, the water is not calm at all, but rather extremely turbulent, with a tendency to even form a waterspout.
In the center of the churning waters, there was a dead and horrifying corpse. No, it was not a corpse, but a ghost, except that the ghost's eyes were open and the eyeballs were still moving restlessly.
However, at this moment, the surrounding lake water seemed to be boiling, with a series of bubbles constantly surging, and the bubbles were scarlet in color, like blood bubbles.
"It was not easy, but thankfully, I survived."
Cao Yang muttered to himself that in the world of memory, he controlled a supernatural phenomenon formed by the Ghost Lake. The female corpse was also a ghost, but not a complete ghost. She only possessed very few supernatural powers of the Ghost Lake.
"This is enough. It is similar to the situation when I was controlling the memory ghost. Little by little, it adds up to a lot. The advantage is in my hands."
The source ghost of Ghost Lake is a supernatural phenomenon, because the ghost and the lake water are essentially one and the same. When the ghost touches the lake water, the body will melt and become part of the Ghost Lake.
Controlling a small part of the Ghost Lake was enough to ensure that Cao Yang could move freely in the Ghost Lake, because he had already mastered a part of the water area.
"The lake has become a puzzle piece for water ghosts, but I need to control at least 30% of the ghost lake, and I also need to deal with the ghosts that escape from the lake."
At this moment, the counterattack of Ghost Lake came again, and the cold lake water once again condensed into the appearance of Captain Yinzi. This time, the ghost chose to directly invade Cao Yang's body. It made the same choice as in the original book - to control.
"Control me? Do you think I'm Shen Lin?"
Cao Yang naturally knew Gui Hu's intention, but unlike the original novel, Shen Lin was invaded by the ghost because he was too deeply immersed in the supernatural memory, but he himself was not invaded, so the ghost could not learn his methods even if he wanted to.
The grayish-white world of memory unfolded again. In an instant, another large area of lake water was dyed into a dull gray color, and the ghost was forcibly pulled into the memory world again.
However, the memory world this time was different. The air was very humid, and there was a strange cold and rancid smell. There were puddles of all sizes everywhere on the ground. This large complex city seemed to have just experienced a rainstorm. The sky was gloomy and it seemed that a heavy rain would fall again at any time.
Cao Yang's face suddenly changed. This situation was obviously beyond his expectations. Although he was not invaded in reverse, the ghost still learned some supernatural powers at the memory level and even had some impact on the memory world.
"Control 30% of the ghost lake and leave."
His face became solemn. The horror and unsolvable nature of the Ghost Lake were raised to a higher level in his mind. At the same time, the Ghost Lake was an important node in Yang Jian's growth process. It was not realistic for Cao Yang to control the entire Ghost Lake.
The confrontation in the world of memory began again. Those puddles seemed to be connected to the source. Cold lake water kept bubbling up and forming puddles one after another around.
Each puddle was like a mirror, reflecting a female corpse with disheveled hair, a cold breath, and a pale body. These female corpses had resentful eyes and all looked like Yin Zi, as if they were ready to invade this world of memory at any time.
Cao Yang also acted quickly. He also mastered the supernatural powers of the Ghost Lake. Whatever ghosts could do, he could naturally do too.
The sky became even darker, as if another thick layer of dark clouds covered the entire world of memory.
Then, it started to rain. The rain got heavier and heavier, and the rain falling on the ground connected all the small puddles, but what was reflected in them was no longer the female corpse, but Cao Yang!
"In exchange for the Ghost Lake supernatural power I now possess, I will be able to control this ghost that invaded the memory world."
The ghost peddler is a man of great talent, he is a man of few ideas. The transaction has been started, so the next step is to proceed.
The female ghost who was about to invade the memory world was abruptly stopped, and another kind of supernatural forcefully blocked the invasion process.
Not only that, in the puddle, the images of Cao Yang and the female ghost changed respectively. Cao Yang quickly became disheveled, and the emotions of a living person in his eyes also faded.
On the other side, the female ghost's original facial features were deforming and distorted, and Cao Yang's face was replacing the evil ghost's face.
Obviously, Cao Yang's level of terror is higher than the ghost that invaded the memory world. The supernatural power of the transaction is working.
This change did not last long. The main body of the Ghost Lake was still lake water. However, each time the ghosts only gathered a part of the supernatural powers to invade the memory world, and it was impossible to compete with Cao Yang in his home court.
There is no doubt that the ghost girl failed again.
If you magnify every drop of rain falling in the gray sky, you will see Cao Yang's face reflected in every direction of the rain.
There was an extra layer of accumulated water in the memory world, and densely packed figures were reflected on the water surface. They were Cao Yang's ghost slaves and could also replace the real Cao Yang at any time.
"Interesting. I can control ghosts in my memory. Will I be able to control this kind of supernatural power in reality, just like Yang Jian?"
After regaining consciousness, Cao Yang opened his eyes again.
But this time, the situation was different. The scarlet and sticky ghost blood formed an obvious dividing line not far away, which seemed to indicate that the Ghost Lake was divided.
"It's booming."
"From now on, this is the Blood Lake that I dominate."
