Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 34 Conflict
Yang Jian read very slowly, but Zhao Jianguo on the other end of the phone didn't rush him.

After Yang Jian finished reading it, he thought for a while before picking up his phone and speaking to Zhao Jianguo.

"The Xu Kong I want to investigate is indeed this person."

"All in all, I think I've seen him twice."

On the other side of the phone, Zhao Jianguo perked up a little. He asked Liu Xiaoyu to bring over a piece of white paper and took notes while listening.

"The first time was more than a month ago."

"At that time, the Dachang No. 7 Middle School incident had not yet broken out, and I ran into him at a bus stop."

"The specific location should be Chang'an Road Intersection Station."

"At the bus stop, I saw him playing games while waiting for the bus."

"His face was a little pale at the time. I had never seen a ghost rider before, so I just thought it was just a simple color difference."

"But now it seems that he was a ghost rider at that time."

Yang Jian heard the rustling sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper, so he paused slightly and waited for Zhao Jianguo to finish writing.

Thanks to Zhou Zheng's good example, Yang Jian now trusts the headquarters more than the mysterious Xu Kong.

And next to him, in the mysterious depths that the ghost eye could not see, Xu Kong folded his arms across his chest, watching all this silently.

The perception of evil spirits is not omnipotent.

Yang Jian and even the person in charge of Xiaofeng City were able to notice it before, but he just didn't cover it up.

After Xu Kong used the suppression rules after the "simulation" to deliberately conceal his own degree of terror, he returned directly to the box from the deep spiritual world, watched Yang Jian and the other person play a game, and listened to Yang Jian's phone call in its entirety.

And this was also within Xu Kong's expectations.

He had intended to push Yang Jian to do so, otherwise he would not have left those words before leaving.

Xu Kong naturally didn't want to join the headquarters and be a slave.

It doesn’t mean that people like Zhao Jianguo at the headquarters have no faith.

Xu Kong believed that under the influence of the general trend in the country, if the existence of evil spirits could be solved by sacrificing themselves, many people, including Zhao Jianguo and Cao Yanhua, would be willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

However, although these people are wholeheartedly serving the country and the people, there is an unsolvable conflict between the current operating system of the headquarters and the actual situation of the newly joined ghost riders.

For an ordinary ghost rider, the first problem he faces is the revival of his own evil ghost.

If you join the headquarters and become the person in charge of a city, you must be responsible for the safety of all the people in the city, and you must stand up to evil spirits.

In order to solve the problem of evil spirits, one must use the supernatural powers to control them.

But the more you use the evil spirit's supernatural powers, the closer you are to the evil spirit's revival.

The headquarters has a deep foundation, so naturally it has some supernatural items and even methods to suppress the revival of evil spirits.

But these are just a drop in the bucket, far from enough compared to the many ghost riders across the country.

It is naturally impossible for the headquarters to distribute it to everyone. They can only select the best from the best and choose ghost riders who meet the requirements.

Who is eligible?

Naturally, the ghost riders who are already in the system are more qualified.

If an outside ghost handler wants to prove that he meets the requirements, he should at least solve a few more supernatural incidents, right?
Even Qiao Feng had to go through three major difficulties and make seven major achievements before he could become the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

However, the outbreak of supernatural events involving evil spirits was disorderly, and many ghost riders who took the lead were filled in the process of "eligible".

This also means the emergence of grassroots organizations such as WeChat Moments.

As for what these folk ghost riders who have lost their future and hold power will do after they form a group, it is naturally easy to imagine.

But problems like these will inevitably be impossible to solve as long as the problem of the revival of evil spirits still exists.

Because this is the contradiction between limited resources and unlimited needs.

Although Xu Kong said that it was not impossible for him to "prove that he met the requirements" like Qiao Feng, he obviously did not have Qiao Feng's patience. After achieving ghost consciousness, Xu Kong had been thinking about the future path.

In terms of qualitative change, it can be improved through the "nurturing of the supernatural" by the ghost coffin, and it is obvious that there is a bright future ahead.

In terms of quantitative change, he wanted to use his own special "simulation" law to simulate all the laws of evil spirits in the world.

By then, with a single thought from the ghost's consciousness, all the laws of earth, wind, water, fire, time, space, cause and effect, and so on will be intertwined and combined, and perhaps it will be able to go one step further.

And Xu Kong, who has embarked on the road to immortality, intends to continue this.

It doesn't matter whether it takes ten years or a hundred years.

As long as he doesn't die, he will eventually be able to collect all the evil spirits of different rules in the world.

Therefore, for now, Xu Kong wants to establish a personal image.

After the global tour is over, he will reappear as a ghost rider who can suppress the revival of evil spirits through "transactions".

By then, no matter it is the headquarters or other ghost handlers, they will all accept and collect all the evil ghosts.

And Yang Jian is the perfect bridge for Xu Kong to achieve this goal.

Inside the box, Yang Jian was unaware of Xu Kong's observation. After listening to the rustling sound of the recording on the phone disappear, he continued speaking.

"The second time I met Xu Kong was today."

"I ran into him while solving a paranormal case."

"The evil ghost that Xu Kong claims to control is called 'Ghost Cabinet', and its rule is transaction."

"He provided some help in this paranormal incident."

"But after the paranormal incident ended, he claimed that he couldn't violate the 'transaction' rules of the ghost cabinet, so he asked me to provide him with a fierce ghost as a reward."

"It also demonstrated the ghost cabinet's strangeness, which was extremely terrifying. It suppressed my ghost eyes in just a moment."

At this point, Yang Jian's voice became a little hurried, as if he was still afraid. He slowed down before asking Zhao Jianguo.

"Has the headquarters ever recorded the ghost called 'Ghost Cupboard', or any ghost with the law of 'trading'?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jianguo paused for a moment before responding.

"Yang Jian, I haven't seen any records about ghost cabinets in the current headquarters records, but there are a few evil spirits that have trading rules."

"But this does not mean that the 'ghost cabinet' that Xu Kong claimed to control was fabricated."

Yang Jian was not surprised by this, and he asked again without any hesitation.

"Can the headquarters send me a fierce ghost?"

"Xu Kong was involved in the disappearance of a head of a headquarters. I still owe him a fierce ghost. He will definitely come back to find me again."

"This……"

Zhao Jianguo hesitated.

But before he could answer, Yang Jian added as if nothing had happened.

"By the way, I also heard him say that his 'deal' can infinitely suppress the resurrection of evil spirits."

"what!!!"

On the opposite side, Zhao Jianguo was shocked.

Deep in the spiritual world, Xu Kong watched with a smile as everything developed as he had imagined, then turned around and walked outside.

It's true, it's true.
