Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 31 Price
Balance payment?

Where does the balance come from?

Yang Jian looked up in confusion.

Didn’t we just agree that we only wanted the ownership of this old house?
Could it be that Xu Kong thought that this price was not enough to solve Zhang Wei's problem and wanted to go back on his word?
But how can you raise the price after the job is done?
And looking at Xu Kong's expression, it seems that he has no intention of turning hostile.

Yang Jian looked at Xu Kong carefully, trying to figure out the truth from his expression.

However, before Yang Jian could see anything, Xu Kong took the initiative to explain the reason.

“It’s a rule.”

"The law by which I control evil spirits: trading."

"It forces me to collect a price before the transaction and another price after the transaction is completed."

"If you refuse, they will revive and indiscriminately attack both parties of the transaction."

"And the difficulty of the price is determined by the difficulty of the transaction, which is determined by the evil spirit I control."

Feeling the ghost cabinet in his body that had no power to resist, Xu Kong looked helpless, as if he had no other choice.

"I thought that I could just bring Zhang Wei up here and look in the mirror to solve the problem. It was very simple, so I just asked him for the ownership of the old house."

"After all, if the former cost is sufficient, the latter cost will be less difficult accordingly."

"I just plan to let you guys treat me to a meal later."

"I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted to keep it secret and prevent others from knowing the rules of the evil spirits I control."

"As a fellow ghost rider, Yang Jian, you can understand this, right?"

He spread his hands.

"But I didn't expect that just after I restrained the mirror ghost, the evil spirit I controlled determined that the ownership of the old house was far from enough as the price. There was at least a difference of one ghost."

"I think it could only be that the Mirror Ghost was involved in 'Resurrection' and the value contained in the transaction was too high."

"But if I ask you to provide another ghost directly, you will definitely not be willing."

"So I can only explain to you the special features of the ghost mirror and the rules of my own evil spirit."

“Thus avoiding unnecessary fighting.”

Xu Kong spoke with full sincerity, but Yang Jian on the opposite side obviously didn't believe it.

How can it be so easy to get a ghost just by moving your mouth?
He stared into Xu Kong's eyes and pointed out the loophole he had just mentioned without any hesitation.

"You said that if you refuse to pay the subsequent price, the ghosts you control will indiscriminately attack both parties of the transaction. Then how did you manage to hold on until now without the evil ghost reviving?"

"I don't believe that since you started controlling evil spirits, you haven't encountered anyone who refuses to make a deal."

"How did you manage to survive the resuscitations?"

The market price of a fierce ghost starts at hundreds of millions.

Although Yang Jian didn't want to conflict with the mysterious Xu Kong, he still chose to argue since such a large amount of money was involved.

Moreover, he was ready to open his ghost eyes and escape at any time. A bulge appeared on the arm behind his back, rolling like an eyeball.

After all, judging from the performance of Ghost Eye just now, Yang Jian felt that even if the evil ghost revived, he would not be able to defeat the boy opposite - the difference in terror was too great.

Of course, it would be best if it could be resolved with words.

Yang Jian also mixed some personal matters into the argument.

He also wanted to try and see if he could get some information on how to solve the problem of the resurrection of the evil spirit.

Xu Kong certainly didn't care about Yang Jian's caution and doubt. After all, his goal was to develop Yang Jian into a long-term player.

"Of course it's because I didn't refuse to collect the price."

Xu Kong seemed unaware of Yang Jian's vigilance. He just shook his head slightly in response to Yang Jian's question.

"You were wrong just now. Just because I refuse to pay the subsequent price, it doesn't mean that the ghosts I control will indiscriminately attack both parties of the transaction."

"But if I refuse to collect the subsequent price, the ghosts I control will revive and attack me."

"If the other party refuses to pay the subsequent price, and I do not refuse to accept it, after the evil ghost actively revives and collects the price, I only need to complete one more thing, and the ghost I control will fall into silence again."

Yang Jian grasped the key point.

"One thing? What is it?"

Xu Kong frowned, as if he didn't want to say more, and responded vaguely.

"Something that the evil spirits I control want to do."

"What does the evil spirit want to do? What is that... Is the ghost you control intelligent?"

Yang Jian didn't react for a moment. Halfway through his questioning, he was suddenly startled. He subconsciously took a step back, staring at Xu Kong's pale face, and spoke word by word.

"Do you know what you are doing? You are raising a ghost!!!"

Xu Kong watched the changes in Yang Jian's expression with interest. A smile appeared on his pale face subconsciously, and then he shook his head.

"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing, but don't forget the rules of the ghost I'm controlling."

"The rules of the transaction apply to both parties, and it is even more impossible for evil spirits to violate them."

"Once I have mastered it, it will remain under my control as long as I am alive."

If you want to cover up something, you can first throw out another thing that is not so important but attracts people's attention.

Xu Kong had learned this when he was reading Gu Long's novels.

He used the ghost cabinet as a superficial cover, and deliberately threw out the unstable hidden danger of "controlling intelligent evil ghosts" to divert other people's attention and prevent the ghost messenger and ghost consciousness from being exposed.

At the same time, Xu Kong also planned to kill two birds with one stone and promote Gui Shu's trading personality instead of just fooling Yang Jian.

The evil spirits provided by one person are no match for the evil spirits provided by countless people.

After becoming a ghost consciousness, the evil ghost became an urgently needed resource in front of Xu Kong.

Although it is said that evil spirits keep coming from the depths of the supernatural.

But it’s just like the problem of water in and out.

Suppose there are 100,000 evil spirits in the real world, 60,000 of which are imprisoned and made into supernatural objects, 10,000 are controlled by people, and there are 30,000 evil spirits "ownerless" outside.

Every day, ghost controllers imprison evil spirits, new evil spirits are controlled, and new evil spirits revive from being controlled and becoming spiritual objects. Evil spirits also descend from the spiritual depths every day, causing the number of "ownerless" evil spirits outside to fluctuate around 30,000.

It seems like a lot, but even if the number is biased, the number of evil spirits in the real world is limited within a certain period of time.

Xu Kongke did not forget that there would be a "starving ghost" in Dachang City soon, and it was not certain whether some "devouring ghosts" or "famine ghosts" would descend from the depths of the spiritual world again in the future.

As both of them rely on evil spirits as resources to grow, Xu Kong can be said to be in a "conflict of faith" with them.

When there are limited evil spirits, whoever can possess more of them will be the last one to survive.
