Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 12 Ghost Mirror
In the mysterious resurrection world, there has always been a mainstream speculation about ghosts:
All ghost puzzles should initially be parts of a complete ghost.

But later, these ghost puzzles seemed to be deliberately broken up by something, thus limiting a complete ghost to its weakest form.

Do not!
It is not one complete ghost, but many complete ghosts.

And because of the law that evil spirits are immortal, no matter what state an evil spirit is beaten or suppressed into, whether it is frozen, torn apart, or made into a prop, it will revive one day.

At that time, due to the ghost's instinctive pursuit of completeness, the revived evil ghost, whether with the help of a ghost rider or wandering around without wisdom, will, after countless times, be pieced together again into a complete evil ghost and return to its original appearance.

Here is the key point!!!

It will take "countless times" before it can be pieced back together, and it will inevitably be pieced back together.

This is consistent with the principle of Shakespeare's monkey typewriter: if a monkey can type on an infinite number of typewriters at will over an infinite amount of time, it is believed that it will one day be able to "create" the complete works of Shakespeare.

But for evil spirits, time is infinite, and the "ghost puzzle" that is the typewriter letters is also eternal.

Therefore, it can be concluded that any ghost will inevitably achieve perfection one day.

This someday can be the next moment or after endless years.

It is precisely because of this that becoming a ghost is the pursuit of so many people in the mysterious revival world.

Just like Xu Kong before, in order to achieve the "immortality" of the evil ghost, he did not hesitate to perform the dangerous "corpse dissection".

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory divides human needs into five levels, from bottom to top: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization needs.

After becoming a fierce ghost, at least the most basic physiological and safety needs can be guaranteed.

This is rare and precious whether in the mysterious resuscitation world or in other worlds.

Xu Kong has now achieved both of these and is pursuing a higher level of self-realization needs.

As a time traveler, he actually wanted to see the scenery at the top of the supernatural world and explore the source deep in the supernatural world - of course, this was on the premise that he had enough time.

After sorting out everything at the moment, Xu Kong did not immediately start to absorb and nurture the supernatural power and increase his level of terror.

Instead, his consciousness moved slightly, and he directly exited the gestation state with the ghost messenger. Then he put away the ghost coffin and directly took over the unconscious body he had created before.

"Heh...hehe...hehehe..."

In the underground space, the unconscious body that was originally lying flat, with the same face as Xu Kong's original body, suddenly forced a stiff smile from the corner of its mouth, and then let out a hoarse and penetrating laugh.

As a ghost consciousness, this was Xu Kong's first invasion.

Therefore, even if you are faced with a body made based on your original body, it still takes a little time to adapt.

"Oh... I... I'm Xu Kong... I'm from ZS City..."

But he adapted quickly and adjusted within just a few minutes.

But perhaps due to the supernatural influence emitted by the ghost consciousness, the flesh that was exposed appeared slightly pale and had a chilliness to it.

Xu Kong used the ghost to distort reality and pulled a mirror in front of him. He tried hard to adjust his expression in front of the mirror, but found that it didn't have much effect, so he simply gave up.

His consciousness fluctuated slightly, and he intentionally separated a hole in the middle of the ghost consciousness. He extracted a section of the consciousness of a villager from Huanggang Village and put it into it, and used supernatural powers to keep it from dissipating.

Of course, Xu Kong did not let the consciousness of this ordinary villager communicate with the body he was currently using, so as to avoid trouble.

This was a disguise he had planned to perform in advance.

Afterwards, Xu Kong didn't say anything. He just jumped up the ghost den and turned into a rainbow to leave the underground space.

Before leaving, the ghost den swept through and destroyed everything in the underground space.

Endless mud and rocks collapsed, burying everything.

…………

More than half an hour later.

Guanjiang Community, Dachang City.

It was still dark at this moment, and a black streak of light came flying under the cover of night at an extremely fast speed.

When I first saw it, it was still in the distant horizon, but in an instant it landed not far from Guanjiang Community.

The black light dissipated and Xu Kong's figure suddenly appeared.

He was dressed casually as he had been yesterday, Guanjiang Community was still the same as yesterday, even the excavator that Xu Kong had left by the river yesterday had not been driven back yet, but he was no longer the same.

Xu Kong glanced at the excavator he had parked on the side of the road, confirmed that the key was still inside, and without paying much attention, he walked along the road towards the old house from the Republic of China where the ghost cabinet was located.

After his figure disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared in the excavator parked on the side of the road, rolled down the seat and lay on it.

Looking closely at his face, he looked like Xu Kong.

This is the insurance left by Xu Kong.

He intentionally stopped outside Guanjiang Community instead of going directly to the old house from the Republic of China in the ghost den, because he was worried that something might happen inside.

After all, in his "previous life", both the original novel and the fan fiction portrayed Old Qin as someone who knew the next 500 years and the next 500 years, who could communicate with the past and grasp the future, like a dark version of Zhuge Liang who planned for eternity.

Some fans would even jump out from nowhere to warn them if they just spoke a word to Yang Jian.

Although Xu Kong didn't think he would meet Old Qin here, his motto was to be prepared.

If there is any emergency, he can also use the ghost anchor point left outside to leave quickly. Of course, Qin Lao's ability is only to communicate with his future self, not to know everything about the past and the future.

The information he can get now is also the information he can get in the future.

Xu Kong felt that even his future self, no matter how powerful he was or how mysterious no one knew about him, would not let others know his information easily, nor would he allow his past self to be "bullied" at will.

After all, in this timeline, Xu Kong felt that everything was fine.

After all, the person he trusts most is himself.

And everything was just as Xu Kong expected. When he stepped into the old house from the Republic of China, everything was calm and nothing happened.

No Old Qin suddenly jumped out, nor were the Seven Elders of the Republic of China hiding in the bushes.

He did not enter through the main entrance again, but went directly to the back of the old Republican-era house.

There is no moon today.

Before the dark dawn, you can vaguely see the road with the help of the lights from the construction site in the distance.

Xu Kong could see that everything at the back of the old house from the Republic of China was the same as when he left. There was rubble all over the ground, and a big dark hole in the blue brick wall on the second floor. Combined with the dilapidated appearance of the old house, it looked scary and eerie.

"No one comes here, that's good."

After a quick scan of the ghost den, Xu Kong confirmed that the only footprints in this area were those left by himself yesterday and now, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Although he was not afraid of being discovered, Xu Kong didn't mind if he could just restore the state to its original state and pretend he had never been there.

The pitch-black color was like a sky curtain, covering the old house from the Republic of China from front to back.

After a while, the black sky faded away, and everything in the old house from the Republic of China returned to the way it was before yesterday.

Whether it was the broken blue bricks and the messy powder on the ground, or the big hole on the back of the second floor of the old house from the Republic of China, even the table in the ghost cabinet room that was damaged yesterday, everything was restored to its original state.

I have to say that the deep ghost den is convenient to use.

Changing reality is easy as long as it doesn't involve gold and evil spirits.

However, if it is only the low-level ghost den that is stacked with Yang Jian's one to four layers of ghost eyes, although it can create illusions, it cannot change reality.

Xu Kong's figure disappeared as soon as the dark sky enveloped him.

When he appeared again, he was already in a dark, enclosed space without any light.

Of course, as a powerful ghost with its own lair, it would not be troubled by the darkness alone.

Xu Kong's black ghost den spread out, and in this already dark enclosed space, it sprinkled the darkness that came from the deeper layer of the supernatural, which in turn illuminated everything clearly.

I saw that this enclosed space was not very big.

Behind it was a thick bluestone passage, with a closed wooden door at the end.

There seemed to be a room in front, no more than ten square meters.

There were some wooden furniture scattered randomly on the ground, including stools, tables and the like. They looked very old and were almost completely rotten, as if they were left by the previous owner of the house.

But when Xu Kong looked at them, he found that these were ordinary objects and there was nothing strange about them.

The only thing that attracted his attention was a mirror covered with an old oilcloth facing the bluestone passage, about the height of a man.

This is also Xu Kong’s main goal of this trip: the ghost mirror.

Obviously, Xu Kong used the ghost to directly penetrate the barrier of the wall and came to the wooden door room of the old house in the Republic of China.

As a "person" who controls the ghost, facing the large number of ownerless evil spirits in the ghost mirror, Xu Kong felt that apart from being grateful to nature, he could not act like a saint and pretend not to see them.

At most, just leave the ghost mirror for Yang Jian.

After all, he doesn't rely on this to become an outlier.

And Yang Jian can be considered a positive protagonist, so it's no big deal for him to show mercy.

Well, Xu Kong also admitted that the Ghost Mirror was too important to Yang Jian’s future. He was worried that after causing a huge impact, Old Qin would track it down at all costs.

It would be a bit troublesome to ask those ghost riders from the Republic of China who are still alive to be mobilized by then.

Xu Kong remembered that in the original novel, Yang Jian came here several months later, hanged himself with the help of a ghost mirror, and transformed into an alien, basically getting rid of the influence of the resurrected evil spirit.

This ghost mirror is a treasure left behind by a ghost rider in the Republic of China.

When a person stands in front of a ghost mirror, he or she only needs to wait for the figure in the mirror to take shape, and then he or she can record the state and memory at that time.

After a person dies, he can be reborn through this method, but he needs someone outside to help him, and the price is to release a ghost in the ghost mirror.

Through this method, people can be resurrected in the ghost mirror, but ghosts cannot.

Therefore, if a ghost rider is reborn, he will become an ordinary person.

"But, after being reborn like this, will I still be myself?"

Relying on the backup plan and knowing the information about the ghost mirror, Xu Kong directly tore off the oilcloth covering the ghost mirror, looked at this Republic of China-style dressing mirror, and looked at the familiar shadow in the mirror with a dim gaze.
