Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 4 Huang Gang
Suddenly, large pieces of broken blue bricks fell to the ground, raising smoke and dust among the ruins.

With two more blows, more blue brick fragments fell, and smoke and dust filled the ruins.

After three times, Xu Kong felt the bucket was empty, so he stopped quickly and carefully retracted the bucket.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a large hole was seen in the middle of the second floor of this old Republican-era house, while the other walls were intact.

Xu Kong secretly praised his own craftsmanship.

This time it’s a victory for technology.

He was not worried that the ghost cabinet would be damaged.

If it is really damaged because of this, it is not a ghost.

Xu Kong adjusted the long arm of the excavator and leaned it against the wall at an angle to form a simple staircase.

Then he turned off the excavator, jumped out of the cab, climbed up along the boom (long arm), and entered the second floor of this old Republican-era house directly through the hole he had just dug.

The scorching midday sun shone through the hole in the wall behind him, but the temperature seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible object, casting only cold light in the room.

What you see is a small room surrounded by blue bricks, with a bronze door embedded in the wall opposite.

Obviously, it was just as Xu Kong had guessed the worst case scenario - the copper door was the same thickness as the wall.

Fortunately, he did not choose to break through from the front.

In the room, apart from an old cupboard and the remains of a table, everything else was made of wood.

The paint on the cabinets had peeled off, revealing the color of the wood, which was gray and old.

The table was hit by the blue bricks that fell into the room when the wall was dug up just now. It was now broken into several pieces, and its shape was vaguely visible.

The house was covered with dust, some of which had accumulated over the years, and some of which had just dispersed.

Xu Kong walked through this long-unmanned room, step by step to the cupboard, and looked it up and down carefully, as a ritual before officially embarking on the path of a ghost rider.

There is a mutual attraction between the ghost rider and the ghost.

Once you come into contact with a ghost, your life is bound to be full of ups and downs.

Xu Kong looked at the ghost cabinet and found it to be unremarkable, like an ordinary old object, which could be seen to be divided into two layers, upper and lower.

The upper layer was a wooden grille window. Horizontal and vertical wooden bars formed many square holes on the cabinet door. It was pitch black inside and it was impossible to see clearly whether there was anything behind the cabinet door.

The lower layer looks like an ordinary cabinet, with the door tightly closed.

Xu Kong did not go over to try to see the situation of the cabinet inside the lattice window clearly.

Knowing that this was a haunted cabinet, he didn't want to be frightened and leave psychological trauma.

And as ordinary people, it is better not to explore the secrets of ghosts too much.

The rules of the ghost cabinet have been written in the mysterious revival.

Xu Kong took out a notebook and a pen that he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

He tore a page from the notebook and wrote a sentence: Can we trade?

Then Xu Kong carefully stuffed the piece of paper into the cupboard door.

Just as described in the mysterious revival, before his paper could be completely stuffed into the gap of the cabinet door, Xu Kong immediately felt that the other end of the paper seemed to be caught by something.

Moreover, this force is still pulling inside with great force.

But the strange thing was that this thin piece of paper was not torn into pieces.

Xu Kong had no intention of competing with it, so he let go of the force.

The page of paper immediately sank into the cabinet door and disappeared into the darkness.

Then, less than ten seconds later, the paper mysteriously fell from the gap under the cupboard.

In addition to the question Xu Kong asked before, there were two crooked black words below the white paper: OK.

Putting them together, Xu Kong asked: Can we trade?
Guichu’s answer was: Yes.

The handwriting on Guichu's head was crooked and no one knew what it was written with, but it gave off an ominous aura.

Even though he was prepared, Xu Kong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw these two words.

Evil ghosts are naturally at the top of the food chain in this world, so even traces of ghosts can make ordinary people feel uneasy.

But before he could even think of retreating, Xu Kong suppressed it.

In other words, the more he sensed the power of the ghost, the less likely he would retreat.

Xu Kong picked up the notebook, tore off another blank page, and wrote a sentence on it: You let me control a ghost, and after you complete the control, I will give you ten ghosts within three months.

Because the tasks of the ghost cabinet are linked to the difficulty required by the user, the user must complete a task before achieving the requirement.

The requirement of "designating to control a ghost" proposed by Xu Kong was not easy.

Even at this moment when Guichu is in his "low period", the first task proposed by Guichu will inevitably cost him a huge price as he is still a mortal.

Therefore, knowing that Guichu was intelligent, Xu Kong chose to propose a "high price on credit" deal himself, trying to make Guichu lose his mind and agree to it under the high reward, rather than waiting for Guichu to propose a task.

Even if Guichu is unsatisfied and chooses to bargain later, you can still agree to it.

Because at that time the one who will pay the price is the ghost rider Xu Kong, not the mortal Xu Kong.

One thousand yuan to a poor beggar and ten million yuan to a billionaire mean completely different things.

At this moment, Guichu will play the role of a gold investor, providing "starting capital" for the future "tycoon" Xu Kong. After the note was inserted, less than ten seconds later, there was a reply immediately, and a line of black words appeared shyly under his question.

"Change your request."

He didn't say it couldn't be done, nor did he say he couldn't give credit. He just asked Xu Kong to change his request.

Apparently, the Ghost Cabinet saw through a loophole in this deal: specifying that a ghost should be controlled did not mean that the Ghost Cabinet could not be controlled.

Once the ghost cabinet agreed, Xu Kong chose to control it.

At that time, as long as Xu Kong delays for three months, Guichu will collect ghosts from Xu Kong according to the rules, but the only ghost in Xu Kong's body is Guichu himself.

Under the conflict of rules, it may be possible to achieve a perfect freeze effect.

This is Xu Kong’s first ghost-controlling plan.

Sadly, it has failed.

Xu Kong did not choose to try again.

It is normal for Guichu, as an intelligent ghost, to see this. Xu Kong was just trying to see if it would work.

But even if it doesn't work now, proving that it is possible to trade on credit is also a great success.

Xu Kong tore off the third page of blank paper again and wrote a sentence on it: Let me control the first ghost I meet after I go out. After you complete the control, I will give you ten ghosts within three months.

Less than ten seconds after he stuffed the note in, he received a reply. A line of black words appeared awkwardly below his question.

"Okay, give me two ghosts within three months."

Become!

Xu Kong suddenly clenched the notebook and squeezed it into a bundle, but he couldn't suppress his excitement.

Even if Gui Ku proposed that regardless of whether it could control ghosts or not, it would have to give it two ghosts within three months after it went out, plus the ten ghosts proposed by Xu Kong in the "credit transaction", plus the second task that Gui Ku would propose again at that time.

In total, it is equivalent to twelve ghosts plus one task, in exchange for a requirement of 100% control over "the first ghost you meet after going out".

But Xu Kong still made a lot of money!
You know, controlling a ghost is a life-threatening matter, and the probability of luck accounts for 99%.

Ninety-nine point ninety nine percent of ghost riders would not be able to successfully control the ghost again if they went back to the moment when they first controlled the ghost.

For example, if you use a scapegoat, and you commit suicide by jumping off a building the moment it enters your body, and if at the moment of death you happen to achieve a certain "resonance" with the scapegoat, and the scapegoat dies for you, then you have successfully controlled it.

If the "resonance" is not completed at the moment of death, the result is that the person dies, the ghost leaves the body, and looks for the "lucky one" again.

It seems simple, but the "resonance" of this ability cannot be transferred by human will and is difficult to measure.

To be honest, the difficulty of making human frequency and the frequency of the universe converge in an instant is definitely not something that ordinary people can grasp.

Therefore, Xu Kong felt that it would be better to find some "insurance" in advance.

The goal had been achieved, and Xu Kong had no intention of staying here any longer.

He spread out the notebook, put the three pieces of paper in it, and stuffed them into his pocket along with the pen. Then he climbed out through the hole in the wall, drove the excavator back to the agreed location by the river, and then hailed a taxi through a certain company.

As for the holes on the wall of the old house from the Republic of China?
Xu Kong didn't care, and he had no way to deal with it immediately without alerting others.

He chose to carry out the second plan of controlling ghosts first.

If the plan goes well, then the solution will be easy.

If things don't go smoothly, then you have no choice but to take a step back and stop forcing yourself to avoid disturbing others.

At that time, you can show off your "money power" by buying the old house and renovating it as private property, which can also prevent others from discovering the secret.

Guanjiang Community is a newly developed real estate project. There are many people looking at houses, so there are also many taxis coming and going.

Xu Kong only waited by the river for about five minutes before a white taxi drove over and stopped beside him.

He checked the license plate number, opened the back door, got in, and told the destination directly.

"Master, go to Huanggang Village, follow the navigation."

Huanggang Village can be directly navigated to by the navigation on your mobile phone.

According to Xu Kong's online search, Huanggang Village is a small village with a bit of history, which can be traced back to the last dynasty.

It was previously developed as a tourist attraction on a trial basis, but failed due to various transportation and economic reasons, but some traces were left on the navigation.

In the village, there is the target of Xu Kong’s second plan: the ghost messenger.

The ghost messenger is also "ownerless" at this moment.

Even though Feng Quan, the former Dachang City International Criminal Police Officer, was among them, Xu Kong, who had the "insurance" of the ghost cabinet, did not take it seriously, regardless of whether he could control the ghost messenger in the future.

In order to avoid wasting the "insurance" on ghosts other than the target, Xu Kong specially chose the route to Huanggang Village, avoiding supermarkets, schools, hospitals and other places where supernatural events are frequent.

Although you are unlikely to encounter knocking ghosts, headless ghosts, etc. at the moment, it is better to stay away from these places to be on the safe side.

The driver was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He was slightly surprised to hear Xu Kong's words, but still responded loudly.

"okay!"

It’s metered, so the longer you take the longer you go, the more you earn.
