Chapter 54: Cold
"The danger is equal for all of us."

Tong Qian then looked at the others.

"The owner of this old house was originally just a backup for the headquarters, because the many ghost riders recruited here were unable to break the ghost den that enveloped Dachang City."

"But since we can't contact him through communication, we are worried that there may be obstacles here that ordinary people cannot overcome."

"The situation is urgent, so we were specially sent here as a team of six ghost riders, just to see him as soon as possible and get him in touch with the headquarters."

"As the temporary captain of this operation appointed by the headquarters, all members of the team must obey my command, and I will also be responsible for your safety."

"But there is absolutely no mention of who can stay behind all the time."

"For the safety of millions of people in Dachang City, the headquarters' order is that we must make sure to meet the owner of the old house tonight."

"So after Chen Qian goes in, let the others take turns to test it as we just said."

"Who has any objection?"

The others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Obviously, what Tong Qian said was fair.

And Chen Qian's struggle also slowed down.

He is just pretending to be crazy in order to gain more benefits, but he is still rational.

At this moment, everyone except himself has reached a consensus, and even if there is opposition, it will be of no use.

Chen Qian naturally didn't spend much effort on "performing".

Moreover, through his performance just now, he also secured a "safe" position for the "second" attempt.

Chen Qiancai didn’t believe what Tong Qian said, “Knocking on the door is the least dangerous”!
Among the several supernatural events he experienced, he was either attacked by a supernatural being at the very beginning, or the law of death was triggered during the exploration after a long period of time.

So according to Chen Qian's experience, in this old house from the Republic of China, knocking and pushing the door are the most dangerous, followed by the subsequent exploration of the old house.

After pushing the door open, the first person to enter and test the room is obviously the safest.

Therefore, after calming down, Chen Qian just lowered his head and sneered, quietly retreating behind the crowd, and watched from the corner of his eye as Tong Qian walked up the stairs in a swift and decisive manner and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

In the silence of the night, the sound of knocking on the wooden door spread far away, startling a group of birds resting in the ruins not far away.

A dark mass circled in the sky for a while and then flew towards the distant mountains.

Tong Qian just looked up and found that it was just an ordinary bird, so she ignored it and continued to knock on the door.

In the supernatural world, the so-called animal signs have been proven to be false.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

"Xu Kong! Xu Kong! I'm here to trade with you on behalf of the headquarters. Can you open the door?"

This time, Tong Qian called out Xu Kong's name and said a special word, which was secretly memorized by Chen Qian behind her.

'Xu Kong? Trade?'

The headquarters notified Chen Qian and the others to come, and only sent them photos of the old house from the Republic of China and Xu Kong.

They didn't say much about the specific situation, just said that after finding Xu Kong, they would ask him to contact the headquarters.

Obviously, the extremely young ghost rider named Xu Kong in the photo has a secret that the headquarters does not want them to know.

"Could it be that the evil spirits he controls have a rule of trade? What can they trade? Money? Health? Lifespan? Or... evil spirits?"

Not only Chen Qian, but several other ghost riders also had the same idea in their minds.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

Tong Qian was still knocking tirelessly at the door, but no matter how loudly she shouted, there was no movement from inside the old house.

After a few minutes, Tong Qian knocked on the door a few more times and then shouted.

"Xu Kong! I'm here on behalf of the headquarters to trade with you. This involves the lives of millions of people in Dachang City. If you hear me, please respond or come and open the door."

"If there's no more noise, we'll come in on our own!"

"Xu Kong! Xu Kong!!!"

Facing the still silent old house, Tong Qian gritted her teeth and reached out to untie the ponytail behind her head.

Tong Qian pushed the scattered hair in front of her body. Without the cover of hair, a pale, strange human face appeared behind Tong Qian's head.

This face had a nose and a mouth, and looked like both a man and a woman. It had its eyes closed and the corners of its mouth were curved upwards, revealing a pale and strange smile, which scared the five people behind it.

"Ghost-faced Tong Qian, it turns out that this is the ghost face."

Chen Qian remembered Tong Qian's self-proclaimed name and was a little confused.

In front of the door, Tong Qian turned around, pointed the face on the back of her head towards the door, then used her backhand to push open the two doors behind her.

"Crench!"

The sound of the wooden door opening was a bit harsh, and a chilly feeling flowed out from the open door, making Tong Qian shiver violently!

The strange face behind her head was stimulated by the coldness and began to tremble violently, and the arc of the smile on the corner of its mouth seemed to bend.

Tong Qian was immediately startled and subconsciously took a step to the side to open the door.

To her surprise, the chilling feeling rolled back after she walked out of the door and lingered above the door, with no intention of dispersing at all, as if there was a barrier wrapped around the door, restricting the chilling feeling.

But at this moment, Tong Qian no longer had the leisure to pay attention to this.

Chen Qian and others saw her standing at the side of the gate, with her eyes closed, her face ferocious, her teeth gnashed, as if she was trying hard to suppress something.

They are very familiar with this kind of expression, as they have to experience it themselves every time a fierce ghost resurrects.

Obviously, when Tong Qian pushed open the door just now, she was attacked by a supernatural being, which caused the Ghost Smiley Face to revive directly after passive defense.

What they didn't see was that the strange face behind Tong Qian's head was slowly moving along her scalp towards her face.

As Tong Qian tried hard to suppress it, the strange face moved slower and slower, and finally stopped.

But compared to before, it was slightly shifted towards her face.

Tong Qian knew that she was one step closer to the revival of the evil spirit.

But with the national crisis ahead, how dare we retreat?
Tong Qian just shook her head in her heart, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes.

Only then did she realize that her forehead was sticky. She reached out and touched it, and it was covered with sweat.

Tong Qian didn't act pretentiously. She simply wiped off all the sweat with her arm, and then spoke to the five ghost riders who came with her with a serious face.

"After I opened the door, I didn't encounter any supernatural attacks, but the ghost face I was controlling revived immediately."

"Obviously, there are some terrifying ghosts in the courtyard, or some ghosts left behind."

"So, when you try it out later, be careful."

"If anything goes wrong, call for support immediately."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Qian, her expression showing no sign of relaxation.

"Next, Chen Qian, you go."
