Chapter 288 Harvest
Taiping Ancient Town, although it was flooded, Cao Yang still found something unusual. It was a small two-story attic. The figure of the faceless man Gu Li was wandering near the window on the second floor.

"You are in such a bad condition and yet you still force yourself to open the ghost cave. I think you really want to die."

The scarlet blood lake took over Gu Li’s ghost den, supporting this safe area, and the entire small attic was shrouded in it.

"You came."

I don't know when Gu Li put on a mask on his face. The mask was a bitter face, full of sorrow and sadness, just like his current tone.

"You have something to give me, so of course I'll come."

"In fact, these masks are not my faces. They are just ghost faces that I made one after another. That's all. Since I lost my real face, I have been searching for it all my life."

"But now, there's no need."

"I have been cursed by Ghost Lake and will die soon."

Gu Li said with a wry smile.

Cao Yang took out the ghost scissors with a strange look on his face, and his vision changed in an instant. On Gu Li's back lay a female corpse with disheveled hair and white clothes, with cold water droplets sticking out from her body.

Under the mask, Gu Li's face turned pale, and water stains continued to seep out of his tall body, as if he was sweating all the time and the sweat could never stop.

Apparently, this is the curse of Ghost Lake.

"Crack——!"

Cao Yang used the scissors to cut off the female corpse's neck.

moment.

The female corpse's head rolled to the ground and she no longer whispered in Gu Li's ear. The sound was like a maggot in his bone, making Gu Li feel numb and dizzy, and even his consciousness was affected.

"It's incredible that you can even handle curses. It's hard to imagine that you have any unexpected tricks that you haven't used yet."

With just one scissor cut, Gu Li felt that the annoying sound like a fly disappeared. It was indeed this refreshing feeling that made people feel comfortable.

"If I continue cutting, I might cut off your arms and legs as well. Do you mind?"

In his sight, although the female corpse had no head, her body was still tightly attached to Gu Li. This was not a curse, but more like an invasion. The ghost lake was invading his body. Once the invasion was successful, it would learn the supernatural powers of the faceless man.

"It's okay, it's just my body. I'm not that easy to die."

Gu Li said easily. Even without a face, he was still an alien, and some injuries on his body were nothing.

"can."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Yang used the ghost scissors again. Although the headless female corpse was staring at him through the medium, he also mastered the supernatural power of the lake, and he was not afraid of this degree of curse at all.

Soon, the originally relatively intact female corpse was left with only the broken upper body still lying on Gu Li's back. Part of the broken body had already invaded his body, and the ghost scissors could not solve it.

"I feel much better."

Gu Li had straightened his back and his complexion looked much better. He could still withstand this level of invasion, and the remaining time was enough for him to explain many things.

"Ghost faces have different expressions. When ordinary people make the same expression as a ghost face, the pattern will be triggered. At the same time, each ghost face also represents the identity of a ghost."

“This is my life savings.”

Gu Li took out a medium-sized mahogany box from a corner of the attic. The box was very old and the paint on it was mottled and peeling.

"Eighteen, eighteen different expressions, and four special ghost faces of joy, anger, sorrow and fear, are all inside." Cao Yang took the box, turned around, and left the attic with Gu Li. There was nothing worth noting in the attic, so there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

"Are you leaving with me, or are you going to Dayuan City with He Yin'er?"

The bitter melon mask on Gu Li's face fell off again, and he lost the ability to speak. Not only that, his flat face was rotten more seriously, and the bones inside were protruding.

"I follow the silver."

He stretched out his hand and gestured in the air.

Cao Yang did not say anything else, but opened his ghost den, which instantly covered the entire Zhongzhou City. He Yiner and Boss Liu who were not far away were also covered.

The next second, Ohara City.

China Overseas International Building, this was Yin Zi’s permanent office before he disappeared.

"You decide what to do next. I need to go back to the headquarters. He Yin'er, you used to be the person in charge of Dayuan City. Now that Ghost Lake is out of control, the number of supernatural events in the surrounding area is bound to increase. You have to find a way to deal with it."

"Of course, I have no objection if you want to quit. I will find someone more suitable to be in charge after you leave Ohara City."

Cao Yang said bluntly without any mercy. As a mage, He Yiner's strength cannot be ignored, but if the other party chooses to give up at this time, he will not hesitate to find someone to replace the captain.

"I will personally contact the headquarters about this matter. Captain Cao, don't worry about it. I will continue to serve as the person in charge and captain. I, He Yin'er, am not the kind of person who gives up easily."

He Yiner arranged He Liansheng's body and said in a serious tone.

"It's great that you think so."

After leaving these words, Cao Yang also left. This business trip was quite fruitful. He restricted the corpse of the Wheel-Turning King. If used well, he could even train another captain.

Together with the twenty-two ghost faces provided by Gu Li, this is another captain-level ghost rider.

Dajing City, headquarters.

As soon as Cao Yang walked into the hall, he saw a huge golden statue. The statue was not very detailed and only showed the outline of a human figure. It had no facial features and no texture details. It looked smooth and like an abstract art style.

"Old Qin has voluntarily entered the statue. In other words, the national war has basically begun after the Ghost Lake incident."

Cao Yang didn't say anything, he just stared at the statue silently, then bowed deeply.

From any perspective, Mr. Qin is a person worthy of respect from everyone in this world.

"Cao Yang, you're back."

Shen Liang's voice sounded beside him. In fact, he had appeared very early, but he did not disturb Cao Yang's actions.

It was obvious that Cao Yang had already guessed the purpose of the statue and the identity of the person inside.

"Captain Cao, Mr. Qin said that you can go to his room when you come back. He left something for you."

"I see."

Shen Liang felt his vision blurry for a moment. When he came to his senses, Cao Yang had disappeared, leaving behind only an old mahogany box emitting a cold and strange aura.

"Come on, some people, use the gold to temporarily seal this box, and we'll make a decision after Captain Cao comes back."
