Chapter 282 Gu Li’s Choice
After hearing Cao Yang's words, the faceless man Gu Li seemed a little touched. His hands stayed in the air, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long silence, he slowly gestured out a passage:

"The more ghosts you control, the stronger the supernatural powers you master, the greater the erosion you will suffer, and the greater the price you will pay. I used to have four faces, but later I dismembered them all."

Cao Yang glanced at him. The howling wind and the waves of blood were still clearing out some of the less terrifying evil spirits.

"No path is absolutely correct. Dismembering one's own puzzle can ease the resurrection, but becoming an alien can completely overcome the problem of evil spirit resurrection."

"There is no problem with resuscitation for aliens, but human will is too weak to compete with the instincts of evil spirits. One day, there will be a ghost in this world that is always in a fully revived state and even has the wisdom of a living person."

"Living longer isn't a bad thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing either. You guys have lived in Taiping Ancient Town for most of your lives, and you haven't dealt with a single paranormal incident for the outside world. In terms of value, you are dispensable to the paranormal community."

Cao Yang did not show them any mercy, but directly expressed his thoughts. No one would want to die on their own initiative, but since Cao Yang had traveled to this world, since he became the captain and received resource support from the headquarters, he believed that he should shoulder some responsibilities and do something for this world.

"You're right, but it's easy to dismantle the puzzle, but it's extremely difficult to control it again. I never want to endure the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death and looking for a balance point again, and it's very likely that I can't bear it at all."

"These are four pieces of clothing made by evil spirits. They are the legacy of Wang Mingyu, the washerwoman you killed. They should be your spoils of war."

"Also, I will tell you where the four faces are. I hope you can bring them back and let the right people control them."

Gu Li gestured seriously. He never wanted to endure the pain and torment of controlling the evil spirit to establish a balance again in his life, but Cao Yang's words touched him and even made him feel guilty, so he made this choice.

"You are stronger than He Liansheng. If you are still alive, I will take those four faces and try to create a captain-level ghost rider. Although he may not be strong enough, he is enough to deal with most supernatural events outside."

While speaking, Cao Yang did not stop dealing with the evil spirits. The Ghost Lake had existed for too long, and the number of evil spirits suppressed by the lake water was too many to count, because it was a number that would make any captain feel scalp tingling.

Among the evil spirits swept into the Ghost Lake, there are many extremely terrifying ones. Those that had previously sunk into the depths are also the first to break free from the suppression.

A cold and twisted figure, with water stains oozing out of its entire body, crossed the dividing line, but the continuous blood waves did not sweep it into the blood lake, nor did they even stop it.

"The big one is coming."

Cao Yang looked at Gu Li. This was a signal, a signal to prove his attitude and sincerity.

Gu Li did not retreat or hesitate, and jumped directly from the boat, but Cao Yang found that he was falling in a strange posture with his back to the ground, but at the moment of landing he was very stable, and facing the evil spirit with his flat face.

Then he turned around and faced the figure with his broad and strong back.

However, this somewhat funny action represented a rather terrifying supernatural phenomenon. The evil spirit that was originally moving stiffly in another direction suddenly stopped, and then turned around uncontrollably, also with his back facing Gu Li.

Then, Gu Li took a step forward, and the ghost also took a step in the direction he was facing.

"Plop——!"

After walking about six or seven steps, Gu Li sank into the blood lake. He knew that Cao Yang would not attack him, so he was not afraid of the danger in the blood lake.

But the evil ghost's fate was somewhat terrible. It returned to the Ghost Lake again. The twisted figure first floated upwards for a distance, then quickly began to sink, and did not stop until it sank to the bottom of the lake.

Not only that, the long black hair also quickly climbed onto the ghost's body, then quickly tightened and locked it, making the ghost completely unable to move.

"Because the Ghost Lake has been weakened, a deeper depth is required to achieve the original suppression effect?" Cao Yang witnessed everything, and at the same time he was also pondering and speculating on some things.

The blood lake under his feet was filled with densely packed corpses and ghosts. Gu Li was just being swallowed when five or six pale and cold hands reached out to him in an instant.

Gu Li used the same trick again and turned his back to the hands and the source ghost. The thick and deep black shadow on his back forced back all the hands in the blink of an eye and also helped him to isolate some unknown curses.

At this moment, Gu Ligang suddenly felt that his whole body was out of control. The blood lake suddenly had buoyancy, and he quickly floated to the surface of the water. Although there were many corpses above his head, when he approached, the corpses would actively retreat and make way for him.

"Wow——!"

Gu Li's head popped out of the blood lake, and then his whole body was freed from the suppression of the blood lake. Like Cao Yang, he stood on the lake and did not sink again.

"Thank you."

Gu Li gestured.

"No need to thank me. The ghost just now was an A-level disaster. You have saved thousands of lives."

Cao Yang was not exaggerating. The ghost that could not be affected by the blood waves swept by the ghost wind was definitely at the A-level in terms of terror.

In the Ghost Lake, the Source Ghost was still staring at Cao Yang, and that look made it seem as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

But at this moment, Ghost Lake can no longer maintain its original tranquility and balance. The lake surface is rapidly collapsing, and the lake water mixed with supernatural spirits is overflowing in all directions, then flowing into rivers and lakes, and flowing to all parts of the country.

The water level of the Ghost Lake was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, many corpses on the first floor were exposed. Without the suppression of the Ghost Lake, these ghosts were reviving at a very fast speed, and they could regain their ability to move at any time.

"I'll handle it."

Gu Li volunteered and took another step forward. Scarlet ripples instantly appeared on the calm blood lake.

He took out a mask from his arms. The expression on the mask was a little strange and was divided into four areas: the left eye that was obviously angry, the right eye that was obviously frightened, the left corner of the mouth that was obviously upturned with joy, and the right corner of the mouth that was obviously downturned with sadness.

Apart from that, this mask also has all the facial features, but the skin of the mask is wrinkled and even damaged, and it looks like it has been there for many years.

Gu Li casually put the mask on his face. At this moment he was no longer the faceless man, because this was the mask he made before dismembering his own soul. Naturally, it could also be considered as his face.

"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire."

"Life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, nose."

"The seven emotions and six desires all have corresponding or similar ghosts, but I only found four of them."

"Joy, anger, sorrow, and fear are the four faces I am going to entrust to you. Although they are called faces, they can actually be used as masks, but it is more appropriate to control them."

Gu Li's voice is powerful and neutral, which matches his tall figure very well.
