Chapter 284 Cao Yang's Plan (Additional chapter for reward)
The actual situation was indeed as Cao Yang had expected. Most of the ghosts were affected by the whirlpool and gravity before they even had time to revive. They were forced to be drawn into it, then fell into the blood lake, and were finally imprisoned in human skin pockets.

"This is indeed convenient, but it will increase the burden on the human skin pocket. If the pocket becomes active again one day, it will bring me some unnecessary trouble."

Cao Yang soaked comfortably in the blood lake. He didn't care even if he triggered the killing pattern of a certain ghost. The ghost would not even have a chance to attack him and would be completely suppressed.

"This young man is really amazing."

Boss Liu had an expression of approval on his face. He accompanied He Liansheng to pack up some items left by their ancestors in the ancestral hall in Taiping Ancient Town. When he came back and saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"The kid who couldn't even handle the ghost window before is now able to handle it on his own, and he has far surpassed us old guys."

Thinking back to the first time Cao Yang and I met a long time ago, Cao Yang was still cautious about the rules and regulations of the Taiping Inn, but now...

"We did something wrong in this matter. I will compensate him."

He Liansheng's expression was no longer solemn, but rather a long-lost sense of ease, even a bit of joy. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Cao Yang.

"Since my fate with him began with the ghost window, I plan to give him the window. It just so happens that he can come to the inn to visit me when he has the chance in the future."

Boss Liu said.

He Liansheng nodded, then took out a ghost coat that he had taken off the body of the laundry woman. According to his judgment, the ghost lake was now weakened, and with the resistance of the ghost coat, he was confident that he could bring the body out.

"Take the oil lamp with you. It's an extra layer of protection."

Boss Liu solemnly handed over the oil lamp in his hand. He was confident enough in his ability to save his life. Even if some unexpected situations arose, they might not be completely unmanageable. At least there would be no problem in saving his life.

He Liansheng did not say anything, but silently put on the clothes with intricate and strange patterns, then took the oil lamp and jumped into the ghost lake without any hesitation.

"He wants to save Yin Zi. At least I support him in this regard, and I don't mind providing him with some small help."

Naturally, Cao Yang saw everything on the lake. The ghost wind that was madly stirring the lake surface suddenly stopped, and the whirlpool in the lake also calmed down. He Liansheng looked at Cao Yang with some gratitude, and then quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Even though I intervened in the incident in advance, Ghost Lake is still out of control. The headquarters will send other captains to deal with it. However, the weakened Ghost Lake should not be able to stop Shen Lin. It is unpredictable what the situation will become by then."

"The butterfly effect has already occurred, but the group of kings abroad who have been deeply corrupted by evil spirits may still cause a national war. In addition, the original book states that there are 25 kings, but only 12 captains. Simply speaking, one captain has to face at least two kings."

"But there are also gaps between the captains. Yang Jian, Liu San, Li Leping and Shen Lin are all top-notch captains, and fighting one against two is not a big problem. Wang Chaling is also top-notch, but his shortcomings are obvious and even fatal."

"Lu Zhiwen is more of a civilian, so he may not be very good at fighting. Li Jun and Wei Jing are stubborn, and their understanding of the supernatural is not deep enough. Even if they have quite terrifying supernatural powers, they may not be able to use them to the fullest extent."

"Yin Zi has the same shortcomings as Wang Cha Ling. The ghost clothes can be left to her to save her life. With some supernatural items, it will be enough for her to start summoning spirits."

"As for the captain candidates, Lin Bei and Zhou Deng together are considered to be middle-class kings. In a one-on-one fight, they can only barely deal with some weaker kings."

Although Cao Yang was in Ghost Lake at this time, his thoughts had already extended to another time point - the national war.

With a ghost like the captain in human skin appearing abroad, the Ark Plan will inevitably be promoted and implemented. At that time, the country will inevitably face huge pressure, and even the captain will have to fight hard. "There is no winner in a national war. The winning side will collapse, and the losing side will not only lose people, but also the situation will completely collapse."

"We can only plan ahead and minimize the losses. As long as the captains can maintain their own status, we can barely stabilize the domestic situation. With the human skin mask given by Gu Li, we can also create another captain. When the time comes, let him inherit the Rakshasa Ghost, and we can mass-produce new ghost riders..."

Cao Yang thinks far ahead. In fact, sometimes he doesn’t think about these things deliberately, but since he has taken over the headquarters and is in this position, he has to consider many things.

When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, but Cao Yang is one of the tall people, so he must make every choice carefully.

"Take along any suitable supernatural beings or ghosts and sell them to the captains as a favor. This can also help consolidate the captains' somewhat distant relationship with the headquarters."

Cao Yang was still thinking, but at this moment, the sound of water rushing interrupted him.

That was He Liansheng swimming out of the lake, but he didn't look in good condition. His whole body was wet, and the ghost clothes he had been wearing were gone. He looked very embarrassed.

However, he was holding a female corpse in his hands, which was obviously what he salvaged from the Ghost Lake.

Cao Yang's figure disappeared from the blood lake in an instant, and appeared beside He Liansheng in the blink of an eye. At the same time, he had a few old and cold ghost clothes in his hands.

"It's best to leave the things of Taiping Town to the people of Taiping Town. After all, Yin is my colleague, so consider these clothes as a gift from me to her."

He Liansheng stood up tremblingly, took the ghost clothes and put them on Yinzi's body.

"Thank you, young man."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

"She can still be saved. I will do my best to bring her back."

“Ding-ding——!”

"rustle--!"

At this moment, the sound of metal friction and collision interrupted He Liansheng's words. It sounded like someone was dragging a string of iron chains and walking slowly.

Cao Yang turned his head and immediately locked onto the source of the sound: it was a fierce ghost whose body was bound by iron chains, but the ghost did not remain silent. Instead, it was twitching slightly and struggling, as if it had begun to revive.

Not only that, another ghost appeared in sight. The clothes it was wearing were very special. They were not what people of this era wore, but old-fashioned Chinese robes.

However, this ghost did not have hands, only two empty wrists that were swinging irregularly. The cross-section of the wrists was flat and smooth, and it was obvious that they had been chopped off by some sharp weapon.

"The Ten Kings of Hell, the King of the Wheel of Death, it doesn't matter if you die. There will be new people to inherit your spiritual power, and that person will never be a deserter."
