Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 42 Three Questions
"...I just think that compared to Wang Xiaoming, you are more worthy of friendship."

When asked by Xu Kong, even though Yang Jian had thought of this before he spoke, he still couldn't help but frown slightly, and then spoke calmly as if nothing had happened.

Although Xu Kong looks like a money-grubber, he is much more humane than Wang Xiaoming.

Moreover, he also controls an extremely powerful ghost cabinet, and the rules of "transaction" can save lives at critical moments.

At that time, he will not ask for any discounts. As long as he can respond to requests for help in a timely manner, Yang Jian will be satisfied.

Of course, there is an even more crucial point: Wang Xiaoming won’t care if you say bad things about him behind his back.

According to Yang Jian's judgment during this period, Wang Xiaoming has emotions, but he is able to avoid being controlled by them.

When you are valuable enough and the damage you cause does not exceed the bottom line, he will never do anything.

'Is this a gentleman who can be deceived by others?'

Yang Jian suddenly remembered a sentence and immediately shook his head.

How can Wang Xiaoming be considered a gentleman?

All we can say is that he is a contradictory person who combines both profit-orientedness and idealism.

…………

ten minutes later.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door of the private room on the top floor of Ping An Building.

"Please come in."

Yang Jian, who had reserved this box, spoke, and then the door was pushed open and a group of people walked in.

The one in the lead was a young man in his twenties, wearing a white coat and with an ordinary appearance.

Behind him, there were two people in uniform who looked like military personnel.

There are also several well-equipped armed guards with real guns and ammunition outside the door.

"Xu Kong, nice to meet you. I'm Wang Xiaoming."

The man in the white coat introduced himself first, then looked at Yang Jian deeply.

"I heard everything you said just now."

Yang Jian was stunned and subconsciously became alert, but Wang Xiaoming did not respond at all.

No?

You heard it, and then what?

Is it to drive the obsessive compulsive disorder to death?

Seeing Wang Xiaoming turning his head to look at Xu Kong as if he wanted to talk to him, Yang Jian felt his chest was tight and he couldn't move.

But if I interrupted the conversation at this point, it would seem that I was frightened by Wang Xiaoming's words, which would be too cowardly.

Wang Xiaoming seemed to want to make Yang Jian feel uncomfortable on purpose. He did not mention what people had said about him behind his back, and his conversation with Xu Kong was also straightforward.

"You told Yang Jian before and asked him to help you introduce the deal, right?"

"So, the 'ghost cabinet' that you control should have a certain 'transaction' target every month, right?"

"In other words, every time you make a deal, what benefits can you gain from it? Can you suppress the revival of the ghost cabinet? Or increase your control over it?"

Wang Xiaoming, who had seen many files of evil spirits, kept speaking while staring at Xu Kong, trying to get information from his facial expression.

But Xu Kong always had a smile on his face and let him guess.

After looking for a while, Wang Xiaoming seemed to give up and then read out a long paragraph of information.

"Xu Kong, male, 13 years old, a sophomore middle school student in ZS City, an orphan, his immediate relatives are Xu Changkong and Xu Nian, he usually has a good relationship with his classmates and has excellent grades..."

"Two months ago, he suddenly took a long vacation and left ZS City. He then appeared in Dachang City, Dahai City, Dahan City, and even in many places abroad..."

Xu Kong quietly watched Wang Xiaoming read out the general situation of his "previous life" and "after the time travel" one by one, but he was not surprised.

In the information age, if you want to carry a mobile phone and walk in the city and conceal your tracks from the state apparatus, you need extraordinary powers or black technology.

As for Xu Kong, he was unable to cover it up at first, but when he was able to do so later, he left traces on purpose.

So, he just spread his hands and asked back.

"This is indeed about me, then what?"

Wang Xiaoming paused for a moment, as if Xu Kong's calmness was beyond his expectations. But as for a ghost rider, under the influence of the spirit, it is possible for him to become anything.

Most ghost riders become cold-blooded and calloused under the influence of evil spirits.

However, some ghost riders, under the influence of evil spirits, become irritable, stupid, and dull.

It is normal for someone like Xu Kong to suddenly change his personality and become mature.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiaoming was naturally prepared. He changed the topic easily and continued speaking.

"In fact, after learning about the 'Ghost Cabinet' you were driving, I took the initiative to apply to Interpol's Asia headquarters for full authority to preside over the transaction with you, and the headquarters agreed."

"So next, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer for me truthfully."

“That should help us get a better deal.”

Xu Kong stretched out his hand and gestured "please", but did not say answer or no answer.

Wang Xiaoming didn't care and asked directly.

"First question: If the headquarters wants to trade with you, it cannot be just one or two evil spirits."

"In order to avoid raising an uncontrollable evil spirit, how can you ensure that the ghost cabinet will not get out of control?"

"this problem……"

Xu Kong pondered for a moment and looked at Wang Xiaoming.

"Compared to evil spirits, the only advantage humans have is wisdom."

"The concept of 'transaction' is the easiest to be misinterpreted."

"The rule of the ghost cabinet is exactly 'transaction'."

"So how do we ensure that the ghost cabinet doesn't get out of control?"

"All I can say is that you have to believe in the laws of evil spirits."

"Even if some evil spirits change their rules as they grow, the most basic rules will not change."

Be lenient when it comes to things.

In order to prevent the headquarters from having a lie detector test like the "Truth Ghost", Xu Kong finally chose to give an indirect answer.

"…So, when you were controlling the Ghost Cabinet, what kind of deal did you make with it? What allowed you to ensure control of the Ghost Cabinet?"

Wang Xiaoming guessed.

“I refuse to answer this question.”

Xu Kong shook his head.

"understood."

Wang Xiaoming did not ask any more questions and asked the second question.

"Second question: As far as I know, the transaction of Ghost Cabinet is divided into two parts."

"At the time of the transaction, only the 'front payment' can be determined, and the 'back payment' can only be known after the transaction."

“Isn’t this too much of an overbearing clause?”

"If the 'balance' can be confirmed in advance, I can finalize several deals with you directly on behalf of the headquarters today to suppress the resurrection of evil spirits."

Xu Kong still shook his head.

"There's nothing I can do about that."

"That's the rule of the ghost cabinet."

Wang Xiaoming nodded, not surprised.

After all, if evil spirits could do what people wanted, they would not be a danger but a resource.

Then, he straightened his face, looked at Xu Kong, and said solemnly.

"The third and final question. The answer to this question will directly affect the headquarters' attitude towards you. I hope you can answer it seriously."

"Two months ago, in Huanggang Village, on the outskirts of Dachang City. Headquarters detected your signal there. What did you do there?"
