Chapter 326 The way out
"Rakshasa?"

Shen Lin's expression moved slightly. He had been in the supernatural circle for quite some time. In the process of dealing with supernatural events, he had more or less learned about some old events from the previous era, but he had never heard of the code name Rakshasa.

"The supernatural powers that Luosha possesses are related to emotions. I am not in a position to reveal too much about the details."

Cao Yang turned his head and looked at Shen Lin with burning eyes, but it was this look that made him feel inexplicably unnatural.

"What's the price? There is no such thing as a free lunch. Most of the ghost riders of the previous generation were strong enough to rival the captains of today. You have resources of this level, so there's no reason to give them to me for free."

As a captain-level ghost rider, Shen Lin knows the evil of human hearts. Ghosts are callous killing machines that make people feel scared. But in comparison, ghost riders who harbor evil intentions and are vicious and cruel are more difficult to guard against.

"It's very simple. You stay in my memory world. With your abilities and my methods, you can eliminate 99% of the troubles in the supernatural world. Memory is indeed your home ground, but the world made up of memory is my home ground."

"Just imagine that my memory world invades or even replaces reality. You can easily invade the memory of anyone in the ghost world, and then combine it with a fatal attack that mobilizes emotions. No one in the current supernatural world should be able to withstand this level of attack."

Cao Yang's eyes were bright and full of confidence.

"You want to keep me in your den of evil, as a caged bird forever?"

"Why, you have a problem? I saved your life. Is there anything more important than your life and property in this world?"

Hearing this, Shen Lin fell silent.

Of course he valued his life, and would even rather give up half of his supernatural powers and take the huge risk of being invaded by the ghost in reverse to invade Cao Yang's memory with his life.

He was lucky because he made the right bet and survived.

"I will find a way to repay this huge favor I owe you, but if you want me to be a dog, that's out of the question. Daxia City cannot be without a captain, not to mention that there are some unstable factors in the surrounding area that need to be deterred."

Shen Lin answered firmly.

"I can take a step back. You leave a medium in my memory world and cooperate with me to deal with some dangerous elements at the right time. And you must promise to continue to assume the responsibilities as the captain in the future, and take the lead in any major supernatural incidents."

Cao Yang made concessions. Every step of his planning now was in preparation for the future national war. Shen Lin's ability was too special. Even if he was dismembered in half, it was still a dimensionality reduction attack against some kings who did not master the supernatural powers and means of consciousness. He did not want to let go of this level of combat power easily.

"On call?"

Shen Lin's expression looked better then. He couldn't accept being a dog, but if he could lend a helping hand at a critical moment, he would be happy to do so.

"I can handle most situations, unless it's some extremely threatening special existence, I might need your help."

Cao Yang shrugged. In fact, this was not a constraint for Shen Lin. Instead, it could be said that he provided him with a fallback plan. The memory world could serve as his backup when he was in desperate situations.

"make a deal."

Shen Lin agreed without hesitation. With his level of knowledge, he could certainly analyze Cao Yang's meaning. Among the twelve captains, only Cao Yang, Wei Jing and Li Jun truly belonged to the headquarters. However, Li Jun had a reckless personality and Wei Jing was quite rigid. In comparison, only Cao Yang was the most suitable person to be in charge of the headquarters.

Now that Cao Yang has made three rules for himself, there is no doubt that these are all paving the way for the captain to behave himself and continue to perform his duties in the future.

As it happens, Shen Lin does not reject this point. The captain only needs to be responsible for the stability of his own area, which is much less troublesome than the headquarters coordinating the overall situation. If there are any ghosts or supernatural events that affect the stability of the entire domestic situation, of course a strong captain is needed to deal with it. To a certain extent, the captain and the headquarters have formed a very delicate relationship, complementing each other, but the captain is basically independent of the headquarters, and his status is equivalent to that of an ancient frontier official.

"Sure. Once I finish what I'm doing, I should be able to start working on your problem soon."

In reality, Cao Yang is still in Linxiang Building in Dachang City, and Gu Li's Rakshasa ghost is still on him. At present, only those evil ghost masks with different expressions are in his hands.

"Yes, but not for too long. I'm worried that my spiritual balance may be lost. The sooner I can regain balance or establish a new balance, the better."

"I'll get it done as soon as possible."

After the conversation ended, Cao Yang regained consciousness, and Zhong Shan on the side finally let down his guard.

"Let's continue with the topic just now. My promise is still valid. If one day you feel that you have reached your limit and can't hold on any longer, you can come to me. From the moment I become the captain, the headquarters will not abandon any responsible person."

As he spoke, Cao Yang took out a strange-looking object from the human skin pocket on his waist.

"This is half a stilt. I remember one of your ghosts was codenamed Ghost Bumper, and it was the reason why you became a cripple. It is foreseeable that one day in the future you will break the balance due to the continuous revival of this ghost."

"Although the stilts are only half a leg, they can force your other foot to be raised. When the heights of both sides are the same, it can help you regain your balance, but the duration of this cannot be determined."

"A supernatural item, and you just gave it to me?"

Zhong Shan took the half section of stilts with some disbelief. The old and rotten wooden stilts gave off a damp and cold smell, and the bottom was stained with some smelly and black soil.

"Zhong Shan, the person in charge of Dachang City, has handled and resolved three Class C incidents and one Class B incident since joining the headquarters. He also participated in the operation against the ghost painting during the headquarters meeting in Dajing City."

"This qualification is far more than worthy of a not-so-precious supernatural item."

Cao Yang skillfully reported Zhong Shan's resume. Although it was not amazing, it was rich enough to show that he was a very good person in charge.

"Thank you, Captain Cao, but I have a small request that I hope the headquarters can satisfy."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The headquarters' files record a ghost codenamed the Bottomless Pit, but the Bottomless Pit incident has not been resolved. I would like to apply to take over this incident."

Zhong Shan said calmly that he had indeed become more reserved and calm during this period, but that did not mean he chose to give up. On the contrary, he was well aware of the biggest weakness of the ghost rider - the resurrection of the evil ghost.

By chance, he came across the theory of the evil ghost puzzle. He called the second ghost he controlled the "ghost pushing man". As long as someone turned his back to him, an invisible ghost would push him from behind.

Then, the tripping ghost will stretch out its long legs to trip the opponent, which is a very good means of cooperation. But this is not enough, as long as the opponent has a ghost, Zhongshan will become extremely passive.

Therefore, he longed to be able to control a ghost that had a ghost cave and had a good affinity with his own spirit.

"The bottomless pit incident? It should have only happened recently, and I haven't really paid attention to the latest files. However, I have approved your application on behalf of the headquarters. You can estimate the materials you need first, and then you can apply to the headquarters. If necessary, I can act with you."
