Chapter 3 Wind Chimes

At the gate of Dajin University, staff from relevant departments were already busy evacuating students and faculty. After Peng Cheng arrived, the evacuation work was nearing completion.

"I have arrived at Otsu University and am about to enter the campus. In the next period of time, I will not take the initiative to ask questions, and please do not speak without authorization."

Peng Cheng took the satellite phone and told his operator Han Yu what to pay attention to.

"I understand, please try to ensure your own safety before taking any action."

Han Yu replied and stopped talking, and temporarily cut off the one-way call function between the headquarters and Peng Cheng, trying not to let his movements affect Peng Cheng's actions.

At the same time, the situation of Cao Yang and the other three was no longer optimistic. Adding them together, there were only six people left nearby, and the probability of attrition on his side was already as high as 50%.

However, the balance of luck was still tilted. The ghost, which Cao Yang called the man-carrying ghost, did not target the three of them, but one of the other three.

"My luck will run out one day, Cao Yang. I beg you, my dear friends, to help me make up a bright and magnificent reason and tell it to my parents."

Zhou Lin was completely desperate. He watched as more than thirty people were killed by this ghost until only six were left. The ghost had completely shattered his luck.

In the few seconds that Cao Yang was thinking, Peng Cheng had successfully taken out the item this time from the ghost box - an ax covered with scarlet paint, but the ax handle was very old and rotten, and it was basically a piece of rotten wood. wood.

The person who came was none other than Peng Cheng. He saw someone on the tree here from a distance. He noticed something unusual and walked towards Cao Yang.

Peng Cheng's expression was very solemn, and a cold aura began to emerge. Cao Yang and Zhou Lin in the tree couldn't help but tremble.

Peng Cheng's face looked a little unnatural. The ax was a ruthless thing, but he had to give it to himself first before he could use it to chop down the devil. But the supernatural power revealed on the ax frightened Peng Cheng. He couldn't hold it and withstand the damage caused by the axe.

Cao Yang did not respond, but held on to a branch to prevent himself from falling, but his physical strength was almost exhausted, and he might not be able to hold on for two minutes.

"No, he landed on his two feet, but why didn't the ghost attack him?"

But Peng Cheng's appearance did not stop the man-backed man's actions. The man eventually died, turning into a rapidly decaying corpse without even a scream.

Suddenly there was light in Zhou Lin's desperate eyes, and he also saw the figure walking towards him.

"Damn it, he's still killing people."

Cao Yang saw that Peng Cheng's exposed skin was all an inhuman dark brown, and the wrinkles on it were like the bark of a tree he had grasped. It was obviously the erosion caused by the evil ghost.

Cao Yang's expression changed in vain. After killing the ordinary person, the man-backed ghost moved towards another person, completely ignoring Peng Cheng.

"Are there any survivors?"

"It seems that the pattern I analyzed is not complete. This ghost seems to have to meet other conditions to kill people."

"The person in charge has been deeply corrupted by the evil spirits. If he uses his abilities again, he will probably die here."

At this time, someone not far away was walking towards here, and Cao Yang could see it clearly.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, don't be stupid and risk your death. Support is here!"

The ghost box's ability was activated by Peng Cheng. He stretched his hand towards his chest. There was no flesh, blood and internal organs there, only a bottomless hole. That was the inner space of the ghost box, and some random items could be taken out.

"The ghost's pattern is related to its weight. I guess the ghost will carry people heavier than it, and it will die as soon as its feet are off the ground."

Cao Yang came to his senses and shouted out the rules of ghosts, hoping to provide some help to Peng Cheng.

But before he finished speaking, Cao Yang seemed to hear a sound like a wind chime being blown.

"Old Zhou, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, the rules of ghosts."

"That's not what I said!"

"Ding ding~!"

Before Cao Yang could finish speaking, he heard the sound of wind chimes ringing in his ears again, but it seemed that only he could hear it.

"Ghost peddler!"

The ghostly appearance and the surrounding scenes finally reminded Cao Yang. The ghost salesman in the original novel who had been entangled with Cao Yang until death was here! At this moment, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed a lot, leaving only the last ray of light in the distant sky, but it was also being swallowed up by darkness, as if all nearby light sources were gradually being blocked.

Not only that, strange figures loomed in the surrounding darkness. The figures were different, but they were all lifeless, cold and terrifying. They were not living people at all, they were definitely fierce ghosts.

Dajing City, Headquartersbase.

"Minister Cao, ghosts are forming around Dajin University! No, they have already formed!"

Cao Yanhua immediately ran over after hearing the sound. In the real-time picture transmitted by the satellite, the entire Dajin University was shrouded in deep darkness. Looking down from a high altitude, the darkness was square and angular, like an oversized box lid.

"It's Guixi, Zhao Jianguo, contact Ye Zhen or Fang Shiming, negotiate with them, and see what kind of conditions we can ask them to take action."

Zhao Jianguo was already sweating profusely when he heard the news. Even the deputy minister personally went to the battle. He, the operator and captain, didn't know anything about the incident. He was afraid that he would be punished for serious dereliction of duty.

"Understood, I'll contact you right away."

In the dark square ghost world, Cao Yang could barely see Peng Cheng's figure clearly. The other party must have heard his reminder, picked up the ax in his hand, and struck down.

The next moment, an arm fell to the ground, and then Peng Cheng fell down. This ax was too ferocious and carried many supernatural powers. Peng Cheng could not bear the cost of using the ax and was killed on the spot.

Cao Yang was stunned. He could understand Peng Cheng's behavior of using an ax to chop himself, which should be a prerequisite for him to exert his ability to control ghosts, but he really didn't expect that Peng Cheng would kill him. Now there is another ghost around who is about to revive, and the situation completely collapses.

"No, we can't wait any longer. The ghosts around us will soon appear completely. By then, even breathing may be attacked by ghosts."

Cao Yang was secretly worried in his heart, but He Guanghui, who was placed under Zhou Lin's care, died without knowing when.

"Ah~!"

Zhou Lin's scream brought Cao Yang back to reality from his thoughts, but Cao Yang had no choice. The ghost in the darkness attacked Zhou Lin, and there was no possibility of his survival.

With no time to grieve, Cao Yang knew he had to take action. His only hope now was the ghost peddler. The ghost salesman came here to collect ghosts. If you can identify and get the ghost it wants first, you may be able to start a deal with the salesman.  There is no choice. The corpse of the ghost controller is closest to you, and there is still a little more. It's been so long since the person-carrying ghost appeared that the salesman didn't show up. But when the person in charge arrived, the salesman also came with him. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? So Cao Yang chose to take a gamble. He bet that the ghost salesman came because of the ghost of the person in charge.

Rather than saying that Cao Yang was lucky, it would be better to say that his calmness and wisdom saved his life.

"Ding~ding~!"

The clear and melodious sound of wind chimes rang again, and the ghost salesman appeared.
