Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 23 Knock on the door
"I'm not bragging, I've always had a good memory since I was a child."

"As long as you come to my store to buy food two or three times, I will remember you firmly and will never forget you for years."

The shop owner skillfully sprinkled cumin and chili on the food while boasting about his memory.

"Two years ago, a student came to my restaurant every night after class to eat barbecue. Guess what happened?"

"Two years after he graduated, during the winter break six months ago, I recognized him as soon as he came."

“I asked him at the time: Is it the same as always?”

"He was immediately surprised..."

The boss said proudly, turning his head to look at Xu Kong, observing his reaction, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it.

Xu Kong immediately nodded with a smile, and the boss turned his head back contentedly and continued his baking work.

Apparently, the boss was used to chatting all the time, so he wouldn't stop talking to anyone he met.

And he seemed to notice that Xu Kong's eyes were always on No. 7 Middle School, so without thinking, he turned the topic to students.

"Hey, you see, high school students nowadays are also tired."

"I study late every day, and there's no one on the street when I get out, so we have to stay up late every night too."

"But speaking of it, it's okay for us to stay up late. After all, making money is not easy."

"It's the same for those students. They should study harder and get good grades. This is the right way out. Only what they learn is theirs."

"For example, those 'experts' talk about quality education every year, that we need to learn from the relaxed approach of foreign schools and that parents need to care about their children. We know this, but the conditions must also be met in China."

At this point, the shop owner couldn't help but complain.

"You earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, have air conditioning, and get off work at 5 p.m. every day, so you can go home and take care of your kids."

"For people like us who stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. every day, how can we have time to go home? Don't we still have to rely on teachers and the school to watch over us?"

"One by one, it's easy to talk without any pain in the waist. No wonder people scold you..."

Xu Kong listened quietly.

Amid the aroma of barbecue, the shop owner's complaints had a strong smell of fireworks.

It's something that happens around me and happens to me, so I say it with all my heart.

For ordinary people like them who don't know about evil spirits, a few ounces of silver and a zhang of worldly affairs are the scope of their lifetime and are worth the hard work.

Under the night sky, the city lights spread and turned into neon lights.

From the teaching building of No. 7 Middle School not far away, the sound of uniform recitation could be heard from afar.

The owner of the barbecue restaurant stopped chattering after bringing up the grilled skewers of meat and iced cola. He came to sit down at the door, enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the lights of No. 7 Middle School in the distance, lost in thought.

From what he just said, Xu Kong knew that he also had a child who was studying and his academic performance was pretty good. He would be able to go to No. 7 Middle School next year.

That is why he has such a strong resentment towards those "experts".

However, when his children go to higher education next year, his family and No. 7 Middle School may no longer exist.

Xu Kong was eating the grilled skewers, which tasted pretty good, so he happily drank a sip of iced cola amid the spicy taste.

As a work of high-level ghosts that truly changes reality, his body has all five senses, so he is free to eat and drink.

Moreover, because he can adjust, repair and reconstruct his body at will and no longer needs nutrition and other things, Xu Kong's body does not have the problem of going to the toilet.

It can be regarded as the holy body that game geeks dream of, and they can play it forever.

There were only 9 skewers of barbecue, so Xu Kong finished them quickly.

Then, he took the can of Coke, moved a stool to the door and sat down, looking at Dachang No. 7 Middle School, and chatted with the shop owner.

They talked about everything from the south to the north, from street clerks to foreign presidents. In fact, both of them were outsiders who only knew what they heard from others, but they were both very excited and the time passed very quickly.

Soon, when the clock in the store ticked to 9 o'clock in the evening, a darkness invisible to the naked eye completely enveloped Dachang No. Middle School in the blink of an eye.

Xu Kong could feel a supernatural force that was even more terrifying than his own suddenly appearing, and his pupils subconsciously turned black.

This is a sign that the evil spirits in the mysterious resurrection world instinctively use the supernatural "laws" when facing evil spirits that are more terrifying than themselves. Unfortunately, even if Xu Kong used the "simulated" ghost eyes, he was still a little far from seeing through the dark ghost den.

He could only vaguely see the figure of an old man gradually condensing in the ghost den, then slowly turning his head and quietly raising one hand...

Xu Kong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils returned to their original color, and Dachang No. 7 Middle School also returned to its original state, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

After witnessing this iconic scene, Xu Kong had no intention of waiting another night or going in to see Yang Jian directly. Instead, he stood up, paid the bill and prepared to leave.

"Boss, how much is the barbecue?"

"… plus the Coke's twenty-five, I'll give you twenty."

The shop owner turned his head and looked, as if he was recalling the calculations. After pondering for a moment, he spoke directly. Since the conversation was going smoothly, he waived the big change.

Then he wanted to continue chatting so he extended the invitation.

"Why don't you sit for a while? Anyway, I have nothing to do tonight, so let's chat."

"Forget it. I have things to do."

Xu Kong chose to refuse.

Yang Jian has his own path, and Xu Kong also has his own route.

These are the future plans he made for himself, and it's time to implement them.

The Knocking Ghost, as one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, is the focus of Old Qin's attention, so Xu Kong should not take action.

As for the starving ghost born in No. 7 Middle School?
It has been targeted by the wishing ghost.

According to the comparison in the mysterious revival, the horror level of the wishing ghost is at the seventh level. It is within the current suppression range of the ghost catcher and cannot hinder the ghost catcher's idealistic restart.

But as long as the wishing ghost doesn't come out, the ghost catcher can't stop it from restarting time.

In general, Xu Kong and the Wishful Ghost are both good at self-preservation but lack the ability to make progress.

Xu Kong realized that he could not overcome the obstacle of the wishing ghost today, so he had no intention of forcing it.

He chose to take a step back.

At present, the number of ghost messengers to suppress and the upper limit of their terror level are sufficient, so Xu Kong can first increase his own terror level.

After all, the fight between evil spirits ultimately comes down to the degree of terror.

Xu Kong felt that with the "help" of the ghost catcher and the ghost coffin, his growth rate should be top-notch and would definitely be faster than the starving ghost and the wishing ghost.

Therefore, there is no rush to recycle the starving ghosts and wishing ghosts.

Xu Kong took out his mobile phone, which he had charged in the afternoon, and scanned the code to pay. Before leaving, he left a message.

"Boss, if something happens at No. 7 Middle School tomorrow, you should take your kid out to play for two months."

"Dachang City is not safe recently."

"Hey? What did you say, little brother..."

The boss stood up and asked subconsciously, but found that Xu Kong had disappeared, and he muttered the rest of his words.

"……What's the meaning?"

He stood up and looked around. The long street was just a line, and he found that there was indeed no sign of Xu Kong.

He knocked his head blankly.

"Am I so old that I can't even see people leave?"

Xu Kong, who was standing nearby without moving and wrapping himself in the ghost realm, laughed.

It's just fate enough.

Five dollars in exchange for a reminder of fate.
