Chapter 287: Lake Management
"Hiss-"

With a tearing sound, He Lian forcibly dug out his cloudy eyeball.

That eyeball seemed to always be turbid and dirty, revealing a deep blackness. Not only that, even after leaving He Liansheng's body, the eyeball was still moving restlessly.

Thick black blood flowed from He Liansheng's eye sockets. He had died decades ago, and now he was just a supernatural creature that existed through the summoning of spirits.

Without the necromancer, the other spirits in his body were rapidly losing balance and were about to die completely due to the resurrection of the evil ghost.

"Before Yin Zi wakes up, you'd better behave yourself."

A plain sentence, a nonchalant tone, sticky blood fell to the ground, He Liansheng's face was covered in blood, but he smiled with some relief.

The next moment, a pool of even more smelly and sticky blood suddenly appeared under He Liansheng's feet. The blood seemed to have life and covered his entire body in the blink of an eye, leaving only his head exposed.

"Bam—!"

Without any warning, the wooden tablet placed on the red coffin exploded with a loud bang, and wood chips flew everywhere. At the same time, the coffin was opened from the inside, and the woman who was wearing several ghost clothes but did not look bloated suddenly sat up.

"I'm resurrected?!"

He Yin'er murmured, but the next second she saw He Liansheng, who was blind in one eye and wrapped in ghost blood like a cocoon.

"Oh, everyone is happy, everyone is happy."

Boss Liu sighed, stretched out a hand and helped He Yiner walk out of the coffin.

"Grandpa He, you..."

Although He Yiner had been missing for a long time and all her supernatural powers had been washed away by the Ghost Lake, her judgment and vision formed over a long period of time were still there. She could tell at a glance that He Liansheng was in a terrible condition and could die at any time.

"Yin'er, I don't have much time left. I hope you can inherit my legacy and become the next necromancer. Please don't refuse."

He Liansheng's tone was miserable. Although the ghost blood was helping him to hold on to his last breath, he knew his own situation very well. Once the ghost blood was extracted, he would not be able to hold on for even ten minutes.

"Okay, I'm willing to be a necromancer."

Although He Yin'er had not fully understood the situation, she did not want to reject He Liansheng's last wish.

"Control this eyeball, inherit the supernatural power of the necromancer, and then summon souls for yourself to the maximum extent possible."

"Although the souls we summon can only exist for the duration of one stick of incense at most, if we repeat this process over and over again, the duration of this stick of incense will be extended indefinitely, just like gears. When the outer gears rotate once, the innermost gears will be slowed down countless times."

"Taiping Ancient Town is no longer necessary. I have packed up the tablets and old objects in the ancestral hall. Some of these tablets belong to the top ghost riders back then. You must use them with caution."

"The ghosts you summon may not have the same temper as they did when they were alive. Not only may they not help you, they may even attack you in return."

"However, Guiyi can buy you enough time."

He Liansheng's voice became weaker and weaker, and it seemed that he was about to die.

"I understand, Grandpa He."

He Yin'er took the eyeball with a heavy expression and stuffed it into her eye socket without any hesitation. The ghost did not revive, and He Yin'er successfully controlled it without spending too much time.

"Yin Zi, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Wang Mingyu is dead, Gu Li probably won't be able to hold on for much longer, and Boss Liu is the only old man left in the town." "Take the spirit tablet with you to Dayuan City and rebuild the Taiping Ancient Town and Taiping Ancestral Hall. The era of the supernatural has completely begun. You are a captain at the headquarters, and you must get along well with your colleagues..."

At this moment, He Liansheng seemed to have become an ordinary old man, nagging about some family matters in a earnest manner.

"Yes, I know everything..."

He Yin'er bit her lips tightly and answered while suppressing the grief in her heart.

"Young man, I beg you for one thing..."

"No need to say more, as long as He Yin'er is a normal person, she will naturally not conflict with others. But I can promise you one thing, if anyone dares to harm the captain of the headquarters, I will personally come out and kill him."

Cao Yang did not make any big promises. His intervention also resolved the conflict between Liu San and He Yiner in advance. At least on the surface, the twelve captains are still of one mind, which is enough.

"Perhaps we can find a way to save the captain Zhang Xuan who is abroad. Zhang Xuan is not afraid of facing two kings alone, and he is even confident that he can defeat them. It would be a pity to leave his body abroad. Even if he dies, we have to bring his body back."

“The leaves fall back to their roots. This is an obsession engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.”

Unconsciously, Cao Yang has been worrying about many things, Ghost Lake, national war, training of newcomers, many responsibilities have been shouldered by him invisibly.

"Let's deal with Ghost Lake briefly and then head to the next battlefield."

The out-of-control Ghost Lake flooded the entire Zhongzhou City. The headquarters personnel outside were quickly expanding the blockade line, and Cao Yang was also preparing to do something.

"Changing the terrain is useless. We can only find a way to divert some of the out-of-control lake water back."

"If Ghost Lake can do it, I can do it too."

In an instant, with Cao Yang as the center, the blood lake under his feet immediately surged, the ground was torn apart, a river appeared out of thin air, and connected to other waters.

The scarlet lake water belonging to Cao Yang quickly invaded and took over the surrounding waters. Ordinary lake water was not enough to fight against the blood lake.

So, the situation was reversed, the dark lake water was flowing back rapidly, and the situation of evil spirits blocking the river did not happen. Those evil spirits blocked in the water area could not resist the scouring and suppression of the blood lake. They were either followed back to the Ghost Lake by the lake water, or were directly suppressed by the blood lake.

"You are indeed very powerful."

After saying this, He Liansheng took his last breath and died.

"Are you the person in charge of the headquarters? What is the situation now?"

After the ghost blood was taken back, He Liansheng's body did not fall down, but stood there motionless. He Yin'er asked as she collected his body with grief.

"The general situation is that I was in charge of handling the Ghost Lake incident, but your grandfather brought a few people to cause trouble. I killed Wang Mingyu, and the faceless man Gu Li helped me deal with a lot of ghosts. He should be adjusting his own status now."

"Here you go. Contact the headquarters yourself. I still have a lot of things to do and can't stay here for too long."

As he spoke, Cao Yang took out his satellite phone and threw it over. As long as Yinzi returned to the headquarters, it would only take three or two minutes to understand the current situation.

"The town has been completely submerged. I'll give you one hour to clean up. I'm going to find Gu Li now. He has some issues to deal with. In one hour, I'll use the ghost to take you to Dayuan City. There, you can rebuild Taiping Ancient Town or continue to serve as the captain. It's up to you."

After saying that, Cao Yang's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and it was obvious that he had used the ghost to leave.
