Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 2 Viewing the River
If you want to cover up one thing, you can throw out another less important thing to attract other people's attention. Xu Kong already knew this.

Sitting on the stool, Xu Kong looked at Xu Nian, who was holding his stomach and laughing.

"Hahahaha... You actually overslept too... Hahaha!!!"

Xu Kong's performance today was in stark contrast to the past, and Xu Nian couldn't help but laugh.

Under the setting sun, the young man's handsome eyes seemed full of helplessness, but his heart was as indifferent as water.

Xu Kong felt that he should be a time traveler, rather than a native who had gained more memories due to the influence of ghosts - because although he had many previous memories of "this body", he was quite unfamiliar with everyone in his memory.

Including Xu Nian, who was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt. Although the former "Xu Kong" was extremely "disdained" by his cousin who came to nag him from time to time, he was still grateful for her concern.

After all, living alone, especially as a young man, it would be dangerous even for a landlord, as bad people would inevitably come to visit.

Having one more person to interact with can save a lot of trouble.

If it is simply an extra memory, one will feel familiar even instinctively.

But when Xu Kong faced them, he just felt strange.

This raises another question: Am I me?
Xu Kong shook his head and stopped thinking about this brain-burning problem.

As a time traveler, he has not yet figured out how to treat his "relatives and friends".

Should we forget each other and never contact each other again, or continue to get along as before?
Just looking at Xu Nian who was laughing so hard that he lost himself, Xu Kong decided to put this issue aside for the time being and let time decide.

And this contrast can just lead to the next topic.

"Have you laughed enough?"

Xu Kong waited until Xu Nian laughed until he was exhausted before he spoke.

"If you've laughed enough, I have something to tell you."

"Hehehe...what's the matter? Never mind, just wait for me...burp!"

Xu Nian covered his stomach, his laughter was distorted, he barely raised his hands and waved, but then he suddenly burped, like a fish stretching on the sofa.

Obviously, it was because he drank Coke and laughed so hard that he almost choked.

"Breathe! Breathe!"

Xu Nian lay on the sofa and took a few deep breaths. The feeling of weakness gradually subsided. Then she sat up straight, smoothed her hair which had been messed up by laughing just now, and smiled at Xu Kong with curved eyebrows. She was particularly happy today.

"Tell me, what's the matter? I will solve everything I can for you, sister."

"I dreamed about my parents. I plan to take a few months off and go out to relax."

The "filial" Xu Kong used his universal magic weapon to strike a fatal blow, revealing his true colors.

"You happen to be going to school, can you help me ask for leave from my head teacher and talk to my uncle at the same time?"

He is going to embark on the path of a ghost rider and will definitely not be able to continue his daily life.

The sudden disappearance inevitably caused the school and family to search for him.

In order to avoid any bad consequences, Xu Kong chose to eliminate the problem at the source.

"...Since you've said so, how can I refuse? Alas!"

On the opposite side, Xu Nian seemed to be hesitant to speak, and had nothing to say, so he could only sigh helplessly.

In an orphan's family, the people who cannot be mentioned the most are the parents.

Although Xu Nian said that he and Xu Kong "don't get along", he still has this sensitivity.

Given Xu Kong's academic performance and wealth, taking a few months off would not have much impact on his future life.

"Then where are you going?"

Xu Nian held the Coke can, put away his smile, and asked Xu Kong.

"I don't know yet."

Xu Kong thought for a moment, spread his hands, and shook his head sincerely.

"Let's see where we go."

"But don't worry, I will definitely tell you when I come back."

"Why!!!"

Xu Nian suddenly became anxious.

"How am I going to tell the school and my dad about this? They're going to be so annoyed with me!"

"Just say whatever you want."

Xu Kong waved his hands, as if brushing away the dust in the air, as if this matter was not worth mentioning.

"I would have left anyway."

…………

After closing the door and seeing off Xu Nian who was rolling his eyes, Xu Kong sat back at his computer desk, opened the map of his country, and looked at the strange place names and fell into deep thought.

On the path of a ghost rider, the first ghost ridden is crucial, as it can be said to determine the future development direction and limits of every ghost rider.

Because from the moment the ghost rider controls the first evil ghost, he begins a race against death and can only run towards a road with no end in sight within the specified time limit.

Although we cannot say that there are no strong people who change into evil spirits along the way and reach high places, but if you can take a smoother path, why not spend a little time planning in advance?
And Xu Kong's mind contains all kinds of information about the past and the future, which allows him to choose his path.

Before making a choice, you must understand what a ghost is.

In the world of mysterious resurrection, ghosts are not the souls of dead people.

In Xu Kong's opinion, the evil ghosts in this world are more like the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth. They are immortal and most of them have no intelligence, like programmed machines.

Ghosts can be controlled by humans, but they can also erode people's consciousness in turn.

Even if one manages to control a ghost at the risk of death, once the ghost has eroded human consciousness to the limit, the ghost will revive.

At that time, the ghost is still a ghost, but the person has died and his body has turned into a ghost's body.

Moreover, in the process of controlling ghosts, he has always been using the power of ghosts in a human body, without any improvement in his own level.

Therefore, controlling ghosts is not cultivating immortality, it is just borrowing power.

According to Xu Kong's idea, this was pure ghost immortal way.

There are five kinds of immortals in heaven, namely, celestial immortals, earthly immortals, human immortals, divine immortals, and ghost immortals.

The celestial immortal controls the way of heaven and drives the world to operate. The earthly immortal controls a world and controls the laws of the world.

Human immortals cultivate themselves and replace the way of heaven with their own way.

The gods rely on heaven and earth, and punish those who are disobedient according to heaven's will.

Ghost immortals rely on external objects and place their self in other things.

Relying on evil spirits without improving oneself is just like what is said in Journey to the West: it is just a brick in a kiln that will rot when encountering wind and rain. It is obvious that this path is difficult to follow.

But unfortunately, the path to the evil spirits is the only extraordinary path in this world, and you have to take it even if you don't want to.

Otherwise, you are pinning your fate on others.

Xu Kong did not take it.

In addition, in the mysterious world of resurrection, every ghost has its own rules.

Either burning, or sinking, or invading, or suppressing, or trading, or not being able to have a high note, or not being able to walk...

There are all kinds of strange and bizarre rules, some of which complement each other, while others are completely opposite.

Ghosts with complementary rules are like puzzle pieces to each other and can be gathered together to become more powerful ghosts.

When ghosts with completely opposite behavior meet, they will instinctively attack each other, and eventually the weaker ghost will freeze.

Ghosts are divided into different levels of strength, and the standard for division is the degree of terror.

A more terrifying ghost can undoubtedly suppress a less terrifying ghost under the same rules.

Of course, there are also some ghosts with more abnormal patterns that can defeat more terrifying ghosts, such as through "stacking" of supernatural attacks.

Xu Kong felt that the degree of terror of these evil spirits might be more appropriately described as "the authority of heaven and earth."

Those with higher authority can suppress those with lower authority, and those with lower authority can also, through certain manipulations, induce those with greater authority to suppress them in return.

But no matter how high or low the permissions are, they cannot be deleted.

But Xu Kong thought about it and realized that the evil ghost was just a ghost after all, not a god.

Perhaps when he reaches the highest level in the future and turns from a ghost into a god, it will be more appropriate to use this expression.

For ghosts, it is better to call it "degree of horror".

After clarifying the situation of the evil spirit, everything became clear.

When choosing the initial evil spirit, it is best to choose an evil spirit that is currently or will be ownerless in the near future. You can also make comprehensive considerations from three aspects: the degree of terror, the laws of evil spirits, and future development, and then see if you can escape from the ghost fairy path.

After all, although evil spirits are unstoppable, due to the limitations of the laws, they are actually the best prey because they have no intelligence!

As long as you plan, at least you won't resist, right?

It’s much better than Cthulhu cultivation.

Xu Kong tried to comfort himself.

Ghost lake, ghost painting, ghost messenger, ghost mirror, ghost cabinet, ghost post office...

Information about various evil spirits emerged in his mind one after another. Comparing it with what he had just considered, his eyes finally fixed on one place - Dachang City!

…………

The next day.

Xu Kong got up early, took a taxi directly to the train station, and boarded the train to Dachang City.

At this time when the supernatural wave has not yet emerged, with the suppression of many city officials, basic travel safety is at least guaranteed.

It's not like there will be sudden supernatural attacks and large numbers of deaths.

Therefore, we had a safe journey to Dachang City.

After getting off the train, Xu Kong took another taxi using a certain app.

"Master, do you know Guanjiang Community, or Guanjiang Garden? Let's go there."

After getting in the car, Xu Kong spoke.

"Yes, it will take about half an hour to get there."

The driver who was carrying passengers was a middle-aged man in his forties with a slightly bald forehead, a medal of staying up late and carrying too many passengers.

At this moment, he casually shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator and sped away, chatting casually.

"That's a new neighborhood, still under construction. I heard it's Zhang's property."

"I took several groups of people there before, all of whom were looking at houses."

"Where are you going, little brother?"

Xu Kong behaved as innocent as a junior high school student. He blinked and answered "honestly".

"My brother works there, and I don't have to go to class, so I went over to take a look."

"Oh."

The master turned his head to look at Xu Kong, nodded, and stopped talking.

At first he thought Xu Kong was a young and innocent guy, but he didn't expect that he was actually a student. He immediately lost interest in talking.

After all, he knew how reserved the students were.

If we continue chatting, it will just become a question and answer session, like registering for household registration, which is really meaningless.

Xu Kong was even happier about this.

When the time came, he was in a state of mixed emotions and had no mood to talk.

As the two people in the car were quiet, only the slight roar of the engine was heard, and the vehicle gradually moved away from the city and approached the river.

Half an hour later.

In front of a huge circular arch, the taxi driver stepped on the brakes and woke up Xu Kong.

"Brother, we have arrived at Guanjiang Garden."
