Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 3 Old House
Xu Kong got out of the taxi, closed the door, watched the taxi turn around and leave, then turned around and looked behind him.

Behind the huge arch, rows of buildings are built along the river. There is no end in sight. There are at least dozens of high-rise buildings and hundreds of villas under construction.

Xu Kong had only been standing there for less than a moment when he saw three cars arrive and families walking into the sales office behind the arch.

Looking around, you can see the beautiful river view and cool river breeze. It is not far from the city and the population density nearby is not high. It is indeed a perfect place to settle down.

But Xu Kong had no intention of going in.

He just took a look and took a deep breath. Then he followed the river, stepped onto the asphalt road, bypassed the construction site and walked towards the depths of the building.

Xu Kong remembered that the ghost cabinet was here.

The ghost cabinet is an "ownerless" evil ghost that is "collected" and its rule is "transaction".

It can perfectly meet the reasonable wishes of users through transactions.

But before satisfying the user's request, the user needs to complete a task for the ghost cabinet.

Moreover, after the ghost cabinet meets the user's requirements, another task needs to be completed for the ghost cabinet.

After completing the second task, you can directly ask the ghost cabinet for a new wish, and the cycle continues.

It's like exchanging two tasks for one wish.

Looks nice, doesn't it?
But if the transaction cannot be completed, will the ghost cabinet release evil spirits to hunt down the holder?

What if the difficulty of each task in Ghost Cabinet increases exponentially?

Uncontrollable desires will push the user of the ghost cabinet into the abyss.

This is why ghost cabinets are "collected" and not used.

Fortunately, the ghost cabinet had been "hidden" for a long time, and Xu Kong was able to seize this good opportunity.

Having read the original novel of Mysterious Resurrection, he knew that now was the cheapest time to use the ghost cabinet.

Xu Kong decided to use this as the starting point of his journey.

Walking around the houses under construction, the buildings were becoming more and more dense, from low to high, from villa areas to commercial housing, but Xu Kong's heart gradually lifted.

He knew it was almost there.

This will be Xu Kong's first contact with a fierce ghost.

He felt the ups and downs of his emotions: fear, excitement, uneasiness, and worry, but his steps never stopped.

Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people looking at houses.

In the end, Xu Kong was the only one left.

After he bypassed the last half-finished high-rise building that had been suspended, what came into view was a ruin overgrown with weeds.

Above the ruins are some old buildings, dilapidated wooden houses and earthen houses.

Xu Kong's footsteps subconsciously stopped, his eyes fixed on an old windowless building in the Republican style among the ruins.

From a distance, the old Republican-style house is two stories high and is built entirely of blue bricks. The wood supporting the tiles on the top has rotted and a large area has collapsed, covered with weeds and moss.

However, the walls of the house are densely covered with a layer of ivy, with thick and lush leaves, and are growing very well.

But because no one has lived there for a long time, the desolation and dilapidated surroundings add a bit of eeriness to this old Republican-era house.

The ghost cupboard is right there.

When the time came, Xu Kong calmed down instead.

He took two deep breaths, suppressed his inner uneasiness, walked straight into the ruins, and came to the old house.

I saw weeds growing at the entrance of the old house, and two wooden doors that were about to rot were half open and half closed.

Through the half-open door, you can see that the inside is also overgrown with weeds and covered with moss.

And because this house has no windows, even though the sun is shining outside, it is still dark and cold inside, giving people a sense of horror.

Xu Kong looked around and made sure that there was indeed no one here. The nearest noise was the construction work on a building in the distance. He carefully pushed the door open enough for one person, and then walked in through the gap.

He knew that the old house was safe at this time.

Moreover, as an ordinary person, Xu Kong had nothing that could deal with ghosts, so he just did it.

As for gold?

If an ordinary person encounters a ghost, unless they hide in a gold safe house, one or two pieces of gold will be of little use.

However, the golden pistol and golden woven bag were too eye-catching and time-consuming.

With Xu Kong's identity, it is not impossible to get it by asking Xu Changan, but the cost-effectiveness is too low.

When dealing with ghosts, the best choice is still ghosts.

After stepping into the old house, Xu Kong discovered that although the house was old, the space inside was not small.

First there is a relatively spacious front hall, and further ahead is the lobby, which is filled with some old farm tools.

It seems that the older generation used this place as a warehouse.

However, because no one has lived here for a long time, there is a musty smell.

Xu Kong did not stay on the first floor for long. He just took a quick look and went straight to the second floor.

The corridor was dark and damp, and the ground was a little slippery, as if it was the combined effect of moisture and moss. The further one walked forward, the darker the corridor became, and the more eerie the atmosphere became.

Xu Kong seemed unaware of anything. He turned on the flashlight on his cell phone and kept walking forward. Along the way, he saw three doors of different styles.

The first one was a heavy iron door, like a fortress during war, with strong rivets on it, covered with moss and rust, and it seemed that the iron door had never been opened, and there was not even a door handle. Xu Kong remembered that there seemed to be a ghost Yin and Yang Road inside, which was suppressed by the ancient ghost master with a golden house, but it was wrapped with a layer of iron sheet.

The second door was a bronze door covered with rust. It also had no door handle. It was extremely thick and blended into the surrounding walls. The only way to open it was to smash the wall.

Here is the destination of Xu Kong’s trip: the ghost cabinet.

The third door is a wooden door with a lock. There are only seven or eight locks from top to bottom.

There is a ghost mirror inside, which imprisoned many evil spirits.

Going further forward, there is a blue brick wall, and it is obvious that we have reached the end.

Everything he saw was consistent with what was written in Xu Kong’s “previous life” book.

Xu Kong felt a little more confident.

He turned around and stopped in front of the second bronze door. He opened his mobile phone to determine the three-dimensional position. Then he moved the phone closer to the bronze door and relocated the coordinates.

Then, he turned around, went downstairs, and went out to the back of the old house. He drew a straight line based on the coordinates of the two points just now and located it at the back of a wall of the old house.

Xu Kong looked up and saw that it was indeed in the middle of the old house.

He picked up a brick from the grass nearby and carved a conspicuous white line at the location he had just located.

Then, Xu Kong looked at the time on his mobile phone, turned around and left the ruins and went to the riverside, waiting for the opportunity to enter the bronze door.

But he still vaguely remembered that the wall behind the bronze door was at least three meters thick. Who knew if the bronze door was also three meters thick?

Xu Kong was not a ghost, nor was he extraordinary, and he couldn't pry open doors. It was obvious that there was no way for him to enter the second bronze door directly.

However, our predecessors a hundred years ago obviously would not have anticipated the development of today's technology.

after an hour.

Xu Kong, who was looking at the surging river, turned his head and saw a medium-sized long-arm excavator rumbling towards him.

This is the opportunity Xu Kong has been waiting for.

Unable to enter from the front, he chose to break through the wall from the back.

After all, before coming here, Xu Kong had learned through the Internet that the ruins of the old house were left over from demolition and no one lived there, so using an excavator would not cause it to be discovered immediately.

As for being discovered later?
Xu Kong felt that he would not care about this matter at that time.

"Master, here."

Xu Kong waved his hand, and the excavator stopped. A twenty-year-old excavator operator stuck his head out and frowned when he saw Xu Kong's appearance.

But before he could open his mouth, Xu Kong raised his phone and showed him the order page.

"Master, Xu Kong is my brother. He rented your excavator for a day through the platform."

"He has been called in by the person in charge of the construction site and asked me to wait for you here."

"He said just park the excavator here, give me the key, and he will drive it in later."

"okay."

The excavator operator suddenly realized something, then parked the excavator on the side of the road, turned off the engine, opened the door, and jumped out.

Xu Kong consciously handed over his mobile phone to the excavator master to check the order.

"Yes, that's right. It is indeed your brother's order."

The excavator master handed over the phone and keys, looked at the construction site of Guanjiang Community nearby, and asked casually.

"Does your brother work here? Why does he need to rent an excavator? The rental fee for a day wouldn't be enough, right?"

Xu Kong took the phone and keys, scratched his head, and answered away from sight as if feeling restrained.

"No way, his own excavator broke down."

"The construction site was in a hurry, so I had to rent a machine for a day."

"Is that so? Then I will come back here to pick up the excavator at this time tomorrow. Just ask your brother to stop here and wait for me."

The young excavator master didn't notice anything wrong.

After all, it was a platform transaction, so after confirming the handover, he took a taxi and left.

After Xu Kong and the excavator master left completely, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. He jumped up and climbed directly into the cab, then started the engine.

Thanks to his curiosity in his "previous life", Xu Kong cannot open bottle caps when driving an excavator, but he has no problem digging wherever he points.

Waving the excavator's mechanical arm twice, Xu Kong drove the excavator straight along the road towards the old house from the Republic of China era.

Along the way, they did meet some people, but they all thought Xu Kong was an excavator master hired by the construction site.

The high cab also prevented passers-by below from seeing Xu Kong's face.

As a result, Xu Kong drove the excavator smoothly all the way to the back of the old house from the Republic of China.

From this point on, the nearest movement is at least a thousand meters away, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Xu Kong moved the excavator, operated the left and right handles, and aimed the bucket at the position on the second floor just above the mark he had just made.

After confirming again and again, he paused slightly, then pressed the handle hard and controlled the bucket to dig directly down.
