Chapter 311: Half-finished Coffin Nail
"Cao Yang."

Bai Zhilin whispered the name, as if he was thinking and recalling something.

"Why, did Bai Heng mention me to you?"

"That's not the case. I just feel like I've heard this name somewhere before. You should know that ghosts also have memories. The tiny impression I have of this name should come from a ghost in my body."

Bai Zhilin frowned. He was sure that his memory had not been tampered with, so he felt a little confused.

"Maybe. Maybe Old Bai and I were close friends in our previous life, so it's possible that the ghost accidentally left me with my name."

Cao Yang chuckled and said lightly.

"Haha, that's right. Maybe it's just some old story. There's no need to pursue it. Since Captain Cao likes Bai Ru's candle, I'll make the decision for him and give it to Captain Cao as a deposit for you to take care of Bai Heng."

"But Bai Ru is already an old man. We can't leave him nothing. Don't you think so, Captain Cao?"

"Of course, I have always wanted to win over Bai Ru to join the headquarters. After all, he controls the production method of these candles. No matter which ghost control organization he joins, he will definitely be treated as a guest of honor. The only difference is that I seized the opportunity to win him over first."

"Bai Ru, go pick out ten candles yourself. After you pick them out, let Captain Cao take half of them. Then you pick out five more from the shop, and give the rest to Captain Cao. Do you agree with my arrangement?"

Bai Zhilin seemed to be asking Bai Ru's opinion, but in fact he was also asking Cao Yang. It must be said that Bai Zhilin was indeed an old fox who had lived for decades. This arrangement prevented Cao Yang from getting some inferior candles, and at the same time ensured that Bai Ru still had the most valuable part of the capital. As for the other candles, that was not important.

As long as Bai Ru is still around, white wax will continue to be produced in large quantities.

"I have no opinion."

Bai Ru wanted to say something, but when he saw Bai Zhilin's dignified and intimidating expression, he swallowed the words back.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Bai. The headquarters will not forget this assistance. If Baiyu Village, Bai Heng and Bai Ru encounter any trouble in the future, I will be happy to provide help to the best of my ability."

During the conversation, Bai Ru had already picked out ten white candles from the store, and Cao Yang just randomly took out five of them without deliberately selecting them or anything. Because the conditions had been clearly discussed with Bai Zhilin, and with Bai Ru's business mind, he naturally knew that he could only maximize his profits by picking out the ten best candles the first time.

After taking back five candles again, Bai Ru could only watch with a painful look on his face as Cao Yang packed up his entire shop and stuffed it into an inconspicuous pocket.

"Captain Cao, rest assured. If there is no severe interference from the outside world, my Baiyu Village should be able to hold on for another three to five years. But Captain Cao will have to pay more attention to Bai Heng. This is a personal token of my appreciation. I hope Captain Cao will not despise it."

As he spoke, something suddenly appeared in Bai Zhilin's hand. The shape of that thing was quite strange, with one end square and the other pointed. It was about ten centimeters long and looked like a nail with only half of it left.

"Although this thing in my hand is a semi-finished product, there are only three truly finished products in the entire supernatural world. To be honest, I am a little reluctant to give it away. But Captain Cao, you are the captain, and this thing can be of greater use in your hands. It would be unfair to him to let him follow me."

Cao Yang's eyes were fixed on the strange half nail. To be honest, its shape was very much like a coffin nail, but there was no rust on it. It just looked a little old and covered with dust.

"Coffin nails?" Combining with Bai Zhilin's words, there are only three such items in the entire supernatural circle, and they are all supernatural items of this shape. No matter how Cao Yang thinks, coffin nails are the most suitable.

"Yes, it is a coffin nail. But this coffin nail is missing the most crucial part. It has no sharp edge."

Bai Zhilin gently weighed the coffin nail in his hand.

"Many supernatural weapons are covered with rust. Captain Cao should have known this to some extent, but you may subconsciously think that this is a mark left by time. In fact, rust is the core of these supernatural objects that can become murder weapons."

"The finished coffin nails are covered with rust. Some knives and axes are also covered with rust. Rust is also a kind of supernatural power. With rust, the coffin nails can penetrate the body of evil spirits. With rust, knives, guns, axes and swords can dismember evil spirits."

"Otherwise, the use of supernatural items will only result in a collision and confrontation between different levels of horror. Even a dead ghost will soon revive and bring backlash to the user."

Cao Yang's expression moved slightly. He had doubted the rust on those supernatural weapons: Yang Jian's hatchet, Zhang Xianguang's machete, and Zhao Feng's iron hook were all related to rust.

"Captain Cao, take this unfinished coffin nail, find the ghost rust, and clear more evil spirits from this world. As you said, if you imprison a ghost, you are also imprisoning yourself. I can't leave now. This thing in Bai Heng's hands will only bring unnecessary trouble."

A vine wrapped around the black coffin nail and carefully delivered it to Cao Yang's hands.

“A real coffin nail.”

Cao Yang looked at the half coffin nail in his hand. It was not a problem that it was broken in half. The appearance of supernatural objects has never been the key, as long as the effectiveness is still there.

"Mr. Bai is so generous that he can easily send out something of this strategic level."

"Resources can only play their greatest role in the hands of the right people. I understand this very well. Captain Cao, you run around dealing with supernatural events. Compared with the coffin nails, this will reduce a lot of your burden. I am still waiting for the day when you bring Bai Heng to inherit Baiyu Village."

Bai Zhilin smiled brightly.

"There will come a day."

"By the way, can Mr. Bai tell us more about the mourner? Did he make any arrangements before he died? There seems to be a person in charge at the headquarters who is somehow involved with that senior."

"The mourner, his real name is Qi Xuan. He was also a lawless person in his past. However, after he helped me create the ghost fetus Bai Heng, he had a fight with a guy who called himself the Sun Wandering God for some reason. Later, the two of them disappeared from the spiritual circle together."

"As for the supernatural power he controls, I don't know it completely. I only know that he is extremely fierce, has three or four kinds of lethal attacks, and can also invade the mind. Even I don't want to provoke him casually."

"He is also a city god. If you want to find some traces of him, you can try your luck in Luocheng. If I remember correctly, there is also a mysterious place in Luocheng, which is a deserted grave. Before he disappeared, Qi Xuan had been looking for a tombstone. I guess it was for that grave."

"If you can find that grave, you should find something."
