Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 27 Youthful

Chapter 27 Youthful
"What's the use of bodyguards? They can't deal with ghosts."

Outside the old house from the Republic of China, another voice was heard, but it seemed calmer.

"And if something does happen, at most you will die alone, so as not to implicate others."

He stopped at the door of the old house, as if he was looking at the scenery inside.

"That seems to make sense."

The person who spoke first seemed a little insane. He actually agreed with what the second person said, and then realized that something was wrong.

“But I feel like I’m going to die soon.

"You were almost dead, and I was the one who forced you to stay alive."

The second voice pushed back the doubts of the previous person, and then gave serious instructions.

"I'll go in and take a look first. You wait for me at the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy who looked like a high school student cautiously walked sideways through the half-open door of the old house.

As soon as he came in, he saw Xu Kong, whose figure had been blocked by the door. He was stunned at first, and then subconsciously became alert.

"It's you! The one at the bus stop last time..."

"Xu Kong."

Seeing that the young Yang Jian seemed to have forgotten his name, Xu Kong kindly reminded him.

However, they only met once two months ago, so it is normal that they don't remember it.

If Xu Kong didn’t know that Yang Jian was the “protagonist” of the original novel, he wouldn’t have remembered a passerby.

"I know."

After being exposed, Yang Jian felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, but still remained alert, staring at Xu Kong's pale face. A tiny crack appeared on his forehead, and a faint red light was about to show through.

"You should be a ghost rider, right? What are you doing here?"

Having just experienced the incident at the Xiaoqiang Club, he was extremely wary of anyone who suddenly appeared and whose background he was not aware of.

As for how Yang Jian knew that Xu Kong was a ghost rider?

Of course he had no evidence, only speculation.

But there's nothing wrong with using words to deceive.

After all, for a ghost rider, if he does not use supernatural powers, and if the degree of terror is too different and there is no special pattern, he will not be able to detect the evil ghosts ridden by others.

But now, there was something wrong with this old house built in the Republic of China, and it seemed to be related to the evil spirit that Zhang Wei had provoked.

Yang Jian naturally wouldn't think that Xu Kong just happened to stroll here and then accidentally had an offline meeting between himself and Zhang Wei, two game players.

Moreover, he still remembered vividly his meeting with Xu Kong two months ago, especially Xu Kong's inhumanly pale face.

After becoming a ghost rider, Yang Jian often speculated that Xu Kong might be the first ghost rider he had ever seen.

At this moment, meeting Xu Kong suddenly again, Yang Jian instinctively began to test him with words.

As the future Ghost Eye Detective, he was indeed born to do this job.

If the evil ghost had not resurrected, Yang Jian would probably have become a policeman or a detective.

Xu Kong looked at Yang Jian and did not answer his question immediately, but asked back.

"Yang Jian, this should be our second meeting, right? Is that Zhang Wei outside the door?"

Xu Kong looked at the crack on Yang Jian's forehead intentionally and said something meaningful.

"It's not appropriate to ask questions like this when you first meet an old friend, right?"

After having enough confidence, Xu Kong was not afraid to communicate with Yang Jian.

At worst, they would fight until the sky collapsed and the earth broke, and drag all the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, Yang Jian and other ghost riders to death of old age.

This is Xu Kong’s worst-case scenario.

But obviously, we haven't reached that point yet.

"What...what are you doing here?"

At the door, Yang Jian was caught by Xu Kong's words. His expression paused slightly, and he actually closed the crack on his forehead and asked.

Obviously, compared with the future Ghost Eye Detective, the Yang Jian in front of him has not yet been trained.

However, when he took a step back, Xu Kong did not continue to be aggressive. He also softened his tone and pointed at the ground before speaking to Yang Jian.

"Rather, what are you doing here?" He indicated that he had been here for a long time, and Yang Jian and others came later.

Yang Jian obviously understood what Xu Kong meant. He hesitated for a moment, and was thinking about whether to tell Xu Kong about Zhang Wei when a head popped out from the door behind him, attracting both Yang Jian and Xu Kong's attention.

"...Brother Legs, I just saw that you didn't call me for a long time, so I came to see how you were doing."

The head also looked like a teenager, and it was Zhang Wei, the "acquaintance" Xu Kong met at the bus stop last time.

He first explained awkwardly to Yang Jian, then his eyes lit up when he saw Xu Kong and he greeted him.

"Hey! It's you! The one who agreed to play PUBG with me last time!"

Then, Zhang Wei looked around again, then looked at Yang Jian and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Tui, can I come in? I'm scared to be outside alone..."

"……come in."

Yang Jian was speechless, but still made way.

"it is good!"

After getting permission, Zhang Wei hurried in, stood behind Yang Jian, looked around, and was immediately disappointed.

“It’s just an ordinary old house.”

However, his eyes soon fell on Xu Kong and he asked the question he had wanted to ask before.

"By the way, brother, why haven't you logged in yet? You didn't reply to my messages. I've always wanted to invite you to play a few games together."

Xu Kong had no intention of putting on airs, so he spread his hands and answered “truthfully.”

"Sorry, there was no signal where I was before, and my phone was turned off, so..."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zhang Wei understood and then asked.

"Have you finished your work? Can we log in together later?"

"Are you still in the mood to log in now? Have you forgotten what you came here for today?"

Next to him, Yang Jian was already accustomed to his best friend's habits, but at this moment he couldn't help but half complain and half remind Zhang Wei to remember the purpose of his visit today.

“Oh, yeah, I’m dying.”

Zhang Wei seemed to have just reacted, and with a sad face, he apologized to Xu Kong.

"I'm sorry, brother. I provoked a ghost. I'm here to save lives today."

"If it works, we can log in together. If it doesn't work, you can play with my share as well."

"fine."

Watching this live "comedy", Xu Kong smiled and waved his hands.

Zhang Wei is not in a hurry, Yang Jian is not in a hurry, so naturally he will not be in a hurry either.

As the saying goes, people with good skills are bold.

Xu Kong even had the mood to point to the old house behind him.

"Are you going upstairs?"

"Do you want me to lead the way for you?"

"To be honest, I'm quite familiar with this place."
