Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 81 Flying Light
The old scholar was walking on a small yellow mud path, with fields and houses on both sides, without any trace of modern things.

And above, the sky deep in the spiritual world was dark, and the air was filled with an inherent chill and a strange fragrance.

"This scent..."

Xu Kong suddenly raised his head, ignoring the old scholar who was staggering towards him. His pupils turned slightly black, and he looked directly at the entire spiritual place, taking everything in.

Not far away there is a stone tablet with the word "Shou Village" engraved on it, Yang Jian and Tong Qian hiding in the houses in the distance, men, women and children wandering around Shou Village, the houses arranged in four directions according to the eight trigrams, the ancestral hall in the center of Shou Village, and... the burning ghost incense in the ancestral hall!
"found it!"

Xu Kong's eyes shone brightly, causing the burning ghost incense to flicker.

"Did you overexert yourself?"

Xu Kong withdrew his gaze and looked at the elderly Confucian scholar who was blocking the road ahead.

"Young man, where are you from?"

The elderly scholar asked with a smile from a distance, speaking Mandarin with a heavy accent.

Xu Kong did not answer, but just looked at him twice and then said.

"It turned out to be a ghost slave of Migui."

Simulating the supernatural power of the ghost eye, he could see through the old scholar completely inside and out.

In Xu Kong's eyes, the old scholar's body was not made of flesh, blood and bones, but rather a bunch of yellow rice grains.

These rice grains support the leather bag, and the movement depends entirely on the friction between the rice grains.
At this moment, all the supernatural powers on the rice grains were suppressed by Xu Kong's ghost eyes.

The old scholar fell to the ground like a rice bag. Large amounts of rice grains flowed out of his ears, nose and other orifices. His entire skin collapsed and rotted rapidly.

Xu Kong glanced at the remains of the old Confucian scholar, then stepped aside from the road and headed straight for the ghost incense in the center of the ancestral hall.

At this moment, even the Shou Gui was temporarily put aside by him.

The moment he smelled the ghost fragrance just now, Xu Kong felt that his ghost consciousness suddenly condensed.

He was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.

Ghost consciousness Xu Kong instinctively realized that the source of the fragrance seemed to be his puzzle.

Does an acquired evil spirit also have a puzzle?
Although puzzled, Xu Kong would not reject the puzzle sent by God.

As an evil ghost, the laws of ghost consciousness, apart from simulation, are only the condensation and dispersion of consciousness itself.

After dispersing consciousness, one can invade others or evil spirits silently.

After the consciousness is condensed, the horror of the ghost consciousness will increase as the degree of condensation increases.

So after discovering that the ghost incense could enhance the concentration of ghost consciousness, Xu Kong immediately put the issue of the ghost incense first.

And based on what he just saw, there should be at least eight evil spirits in this mysterious place.

In addition to the Shou ghost required by the headquarters, there is also the rice ghost that just created the old Confucian scholar and other Shou village ghost slaves, the ghost incense in the ancestral hall, the ghost tea trees planted all over Shou village, the numerous wedding papers posted on the walls inside and outside, the ghost umbrellas hung in every household, the ghost masks wrapped around a group of houses, and the ghost balls hanging on both sides of the Shou village archway.

These eight evil spirits should be in a state of mutual checks and balances.

Although the entry of Yang Jian and others seemed to break the original balance.

But for now, the overall situation in Shou Village has not collapsed, and Yang Jian and others are not in danger for the time being.

Xu Kong walked along the yellow mud path.

Without concealing his own supernatural powers, he was able to move freely in Shou Village with his eighth level of terror.

Whether it was the derivatives of evil spirits or the ghost slaves, they all took the initiative to retreat in front of him.

When Xu Kong arrived in front of the ancestral hall, he saw that there was no one inside, exactly the same as what he had seen with his ghost eyes just now.

Inside the ancestral hall, the statues of gods that should have been placed there were nowhere to be seen.

Other cushions and incense tables are all available, a stick of ghost incense is inserted in the clay incense burner, and the whole ancestral hall is filled with smoke.

Xu Kong took a deep breath of the ghost incense smoke. An irresistible feeling of comfort burst out from the depths of his consciousness, making him subconsciously close his eyes.

"So this is how ghost incense is used."

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Kong showed a look of understanding.

Then he reached out, picked up the ghost incense, put it in front of his nose, and took a deep breath.

In an instant, the ghost incense that had been burning for who knows how many years without losing even a trace quickly burned out and turned into a handful of ashes that fell from Xu Kong's hand.

When the ghost consciousness Xu Kong looked inward, an invisible fragrance lingered in his consciousness, making him feel dizzy.

He destroyed the real sustenance of the ghost incense, turning it back into a fragrance, becoming one with his own ghost consciousness.

Through this, Xu Kong also roughly estimated what the so-called evil ghost puzzle was.

If evil spirits are a series of different programs.

When the different "programs" of evil spirits encounter each other, if they are connected just right, they can perfectly merge with each other and greatly enhance the degree of terror.

If the upper and lower parts are not well connected, but are in opposition, and the degree of terror is not much different, the evil spirit will enter a "freeze".

If there is a part that can be connected between the upper and lower parts, it will enter the current state between Ghost Consciousness · Xu Kong and Gui Xiang - Ghost Consciousness · Xu Kong has an additional external plug-in.

Of course, there are exceptions to this.

For example, a virus program like the Starving Ghost can transform the "program interface" of other evil ghosts to make it fully compatible with itself, thereby perfectly integrating the rules of each evil ghost.

With an additional external plug-in, Xu Kong's ghost consciousness just stood in the ancestral hall, without choosing another place, and directly concentrated his consciousness to observe the effect of the ghost incense.

"The increase has exceeded the ten-fold limit and reached eleven times, which is not bad."

He judged.

Perhaps it was because of the ghost consciousness that Xu Kong was originally a complete evil ghost.

Before the fusion of the ghost incense, after the ghost consciousness Xu Kong condensed his consciousness, the degree of terror could be directly increased tenfold.

After integrating the ghost incense, the terrifying degree of the ghost consciousness Xu Kong's condensed consciousness did not increase significantly, it just doubled.

But it was a pleasant surprise, so Xu Kong was not disappointed.

At least you've become stronger, haven't you?
"Logically speaking, the evil spirits that can achieve a balance are similar or opposite."

"Since the ghost incense works for me, other evil spirits may not be able to sense it, but maybe it will work for me as well?"

Xu Kong looked outside the ancestral hall, and a thought arose in his mind.

"It doesn't hurt to try."

At this moment, the condensed ghost consciousness has not yet dissipated.

Xu Kong directly used his consciousness which had been amplified to the ninth level of horror to activate the simulated ghost cabinet spirit.

He still remembered that Yang Jian and Tong Qian were in this mysterious place, so the vest could not be removed.

But even so, in an instant, endless scarlet blood rolled out from under his feet, flooding this mysterious place.

Yang Jian and Tong Qian, who were hiding in the cellar of a residential building, only felt a red flash before their eyes, and then the evil spirit in their bodies became silent, and their spiritual power could not be activated, as if the evil spirit they were controlling did not exist at all.

"This blood-colored ghost?"

Yang Jian was frightened at first, but then he reacted, stood up happily, and said to Tong Qian who was still in shock.

"This is Xu Kong's ghost cabinet supernatural power. Support from headquarters is coming!"

No matter how Yang Jian explained to Tong Qian and persuaded her to come out.

Inside Shou Village, numerous ghost slaves, young and old, male and female, fell to the ground, their bodies emptied and large amounts of rice grains flowed out.

In a house in the east, the rice in the jar suddenly swelled up, and the endless rice grains were about to burst the house.

Then a huge wave of blood came down, and countless rice grains were washed in all directions. Only a small ball was surrounded by blood and did not move.

Then a young Taoist priest in the north raised his wine glass, a red "wedding" paper pasted in the south flew in the air, a black ghost umbrella hanging in the southwest opened, the ghost face hanging like clothes in the southeast extended infinitely, the ghost ball placed on the roof in the northwest began to rotate, and a ghost tea tree in the northeast swayed.

However, the riots of the source ghosts lasted less than a moment before they were all suppressed by the scarlet blood.

Xu Kong stretched out his hand and all seven evil spirits came in front of him, and then disappeared in a burst of scarlet blood.

The number of ghost catchers suppressed is +7.

After the evil ghost is suppressed by the ghost catcher, the ghost catcher can directly use the rules of this evil ghost as long as he does not use the suppression quota.

As the driver of the ghost, Xu Kong can naturally use it "indirectly".

At this moment, he was using this method to analyze the patterns of other evil ghosts in Shou Village, except for the ghost incense.

The first thing Xu Kong studied was the longevity ghost.

"The law of the Shou ghost is that it can deprive the consciousness of the evil ghost or person who approaches, making the consciousness dull and eventually dissipate."

"Add to that the supernatural influence that exists at the same time, and the result is that people simply age."

"The deprived vitality will be gathered together by the longevity ghost to nourish itself."

"If someone can absorb this 'activity', consciousness can become more 'young'."

"Its horror level is about at the critical point of the eighth level."

The Shou Gui was extremely powerful, but Xu Kong was a little disappointed.

"I thought it was really a time-related evil spirit."

"That's all. Although it works for those aliens that survive with the consciousness of living people, it's ineffective against me."

The so-called "activity" refers to the level of activeness of consciousness.

But the ghost consciousness Xu Kong is actually an idealistic evil ghost. Its true form is a mass of consciousness that can completely control itself.

Therefore, Xu Kong’s own consciousness “activity” is completely adjustable.

The more you think, the more "active" you are; the less you think, the less "active" you are.

Even if he did not condense his consciousness, relying on the terrifying level of the eighth level, Shou Gui was unable to absorb the "activity" of Xu Kong's consciousness.

On the contrary, after Xu Kong simulates the laws of the longevity ghost, he can condense the "activity" at no cost and sell it to those alien ghost riders to extend their lifespan.

“This should be a good deal.”

Xu Kong thought.

"After all, the ones who can catch more evil spirits are either big forces like the headquarters or those top ghost masters."

Afterwards, he continued to study the supernatural powers of the second evil ghost - the Rice Ghost.

"The law of the rice ghost is to corrode the body it touches and repair the consciousness."

"At the same time, the rice ghost's rice grains can be infinitely derived. As long as there are rice grains outside, they cannot be imprisoned."

"I was able to detain him just now because the supernatural power directly covered the entire Shou Village."

"Whether it's the derived rice grains or the source ghost of the rice ghost, they are all suppressed by my supernatural power."

"Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to catch this rice ghost."

However, the laws of repairing consciousness are obviously useless to Xu Kong.

He went on to study other evil spirits, but none of them were surprising.

"The law of the Ghost Tea Tree is to purify thoughts, turning people into idiots with only one thought."

If Xu Kong wanted to purify his thoughts, he just had to concentrate his consciousness.

"The law of ghost paper is to burn consciousness, thereby enhancing the 'activity' of consciousness."

Another ability that is ineffective against Xu Kong.

"The rule of the ghost umbrella is to protect consciousness, but after closing the umbrella, the consciousness will be directly attacked."

Although precious, Xu Kong's consciousness is originally a ghost.

"The rule of the ghost face is to copy consciousness. It can copy the consciousness of both humans and ghosts."

But compared to copying consciousness, Xu Kong prefers to distort reality and directly create the consciousness of living people, or suppress ghosts directly to increase his own foundation.

"The law of the ghost ball is to make consciousness whole and it will not dissipate even if the 'activity' is exhausted."

Ghost consciousness and Xu Kong are originally one and the same.

"So among these evil spirits, the only one that is really useful to me is the ghost incense."

Having gained nothing, Xu Kong withdrew his attention and looked back at this mysterious place shrouded in scarlet blood.

"The ancient ghost controllers must have achieved a balance by restraining these eight evil ghosts."

"First, the rice ghosts corrupted the people of the village and repaired their consciousness."

"Then, the ghost paper burns the consciousness and enhances the 'activity' of these people's consciousness."

"The ghost ball and the ghost umbrella protect these people's consciousness."

"Ghost Face keeps replicating the consciousness of these people to ensure that the consciousness is 'sufficient'."

"Then the Shou ghost harvested the consciousness of all the people in the village and all the evil spirits."

"The Ghost Tea Tree purified the consciousness of the Shou Ghost, leaving it with only one thought: harvesting 'activity'. Even if it continuously harvests 'activity' of consciousness, it will not generate wisdom."

"One ring after another, it is indeed ingenious, and it can imprison these eight evil spirits forever."

Xu Kong sighed.

"But unfortunately, these arrangements have been destroyed."

Someone nearby suddenly spoke up.

"so what?"

Xu Kongtou didn't reply, but responded.

"Since this place has been discovered, there will definitely be others coming here, and it is inevitable that it will get out of control."

"So rather than continuing like this, it's better for you to be imprisoned by me. At least I can guarantee that you won't be easily obtained by others and cause unrest outside."

As soon as he thought about it, the vast scarlet blood evaporated in an instant, revealing Yang Jian and Tong Qian beside him.

"It's really you."

Yang Jian walked over and asked curiously.

"What price did the headquarters pay to invite you here?"

"It's better for you not to know."

Xu Kong glanced at both of them.

Yang Jian's condition is quite good.

But Tong Qian's condition was obviously not good. Compared with before, the ghost smile she was controlling had now moved to the side of her face.

When the ghost's smiling face overlaps with Tong Qian's face, that's when her evil ghost revives.

But Xu Kong had no intention of going forward to save her.

A business that is rushed is not a business at all.

If Tong Qian really wants to live, she can apply to the headquarters to control a second ghost, or she can prepare enough powerful ghosts and then trade with Xu Kong.

But if she herself has no intention of living, Xu Kong will respect her choice.

"I have already imprisoned all the evil spirits in Shou Village. Have you achieved your purpose of coming here?"

Xu Kong looked at Yang Jian and asked.

"……No."

Yang Jian’s face darkened.

"When Tong Qian and I arrived here, the newspaper ghost had already modified the consciousness of the longevity ghost, causing it to attack us proactively."

"I went looking for it later, but I only found the remnants of the newspaper ghost."

"But I also got a clue."

"That newspaper ghost seemed to want to stir up trouble. It headed north."

"Then keep chasing."

Xu Kong, who had just eaten a small melon, encouraged with a smile.

"as long as you try very hard, you can achieve anything."

"I believe that sooner or later you will be able to catch up with it."

"I'll return to reality first."

…………

"Fei Guang Fei Guang, please give me a glass of wine."

"I do not know how high the sky is, or how thick the earth is."

"I only see the cold moon and the warm sun, burning people's lives..."

During the song "Flying Light", Fang Feisheng looked at the small cup of crystal clear "wine" in front of him and smacked his lips.

"Is this the magic of the longevity ghost? Drinking it can extend one's life? Why doesn't it look like that?"

"As long as it works."

Xu Kong answered Fang Feisheng's question directly.

He had no plans to return to Dazheng City, so he gathered a cup of "birthday wine" and gave it to Fang Feisheng, asking him to take it to the headquarters.

"The 'vitality' contained in this cup of 'longevity wine' can restore the consciousness of an old man who has passed away, allowing him to live another year."

"You take it back to headquarters, Cao Yanhua will know what to do."

Fang Feisheng nodded.

"I see."

He carefully sealed the "longevity wine" in the golden box, then kept it close to his body, and then looked at Xu Kong.

"how about you?"

"Me?"

Xu Kong stood on the cliff, looking at the deep mountain stream below, and answered with a smile.

"I will naturally return to ZS City and wait for the arrival of the old era."

…………

"As an old man from the old era, I never thought I would be able to see the new era."

In Dajing City, the headquarters of Asian Ghost Riders, an old man wearing a gray coat, with age spots all over his face and leaning on a cane sighed.

In front of him, there was a small cup of crystal clear "wine", which was exactly the cup that Xu Kong gave to Fang Feisheng.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Qin?"

Cao Yanhua stood aside, and contrary to his usual calmness, he complimented seriously.

"The overall situation of the country depends entirely on you."

"When we trade the Shougui back from Xu Kong, you will definitely provide us with enough 'Shoujiu'."

"Xiao Cao, please don't flatter me too much, an old man."

Old Qin smiled and said.

"Although I have some power, I can only suppress it temporarily."

"It is impossible to maintain eternal peace."

“It all depends on the young people.”

"All I can do is to make sure nothing goes wrong during this last period of time."

He picked up the "birthday wine" and drank it all in one gulp. He became visibly more energetic and couldn't help but sigh again.

“Young people today are amazing!”

"Xiao Cao, please make arrangements. I will also go to ZS City with you tomorrow."

"Well...what!"

Cao Yanhua looked up in shock and looked at Mr. Qin.

"You want to come too?"

"What? Can't it?"

Old Qin paused with his cane and said.

"If I don't go with them, I'm afraid the two thousand evil spirits that the headquarters has collected with great difficulty will be robbed before they get halfway."

…………

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

The next day, in front of Caesar Hotel in ZS City.

Cao Yanhua and his party got out of the car with dozens of large boxes, and then called Xu Kong.

"Hello? Xu Kong, I'm Cao Yanhua."

"Now I'm at the entrance of Caesar Hotel, waiting to trade with you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."

Less than a moment after hanging up the phone, Xu Kong pushed open the door of Caesar Hotel with a smile on his face.

He first glanced at the dozens of large boxes, then immediately greeted them with a more sincere smile.

"Minister Cao, long time no see! Please come in."

After all, Caesar Hotel is a city-level hotel, so the interior space is large enough. Even if dozens of boxes are piled up, there is still some space in the hall.

After Xu Kong led Cao Yanhua to the reception room, his gaze naturally turned to Old Qin next to him.

"Minister Cao, who is this?"

Although Xu Kong had some guesses, realistically speaking, he shouldn't have known about Mr. Qin's situation.

Xu Kong, who usually avoided unnecessary trouble, pretended to know nothing and asked directly.

As for the reason?

It's also very simple.

"A ghost rider of such an old age... The 'birthday wine' that I gave to Fang Feisheng the day before yesterday and asked him to bring to the headquarters was drunk by this old man, right?"

"I can sense the dead energy in your body and the active energy in your consciousness."

Xu Kong looked at Old Qin and praised him with a hint of caution.

"The headquarters is indeed very powerful. There is even a powerful ghost rider like you."

Old Qin looked at Xu Kong and said.

"You are a remarkable young man." "You have completed a journey that many people cannot complete in their lifetime at such a young age."

“It’s hard to imagine what you can achieve in the future.”

"Then just wait."

Xu Kong smiled.

"As long as you keep living, you can naturally wait for the future."

"Old man, what do you think?"

"That's right."

Old Qin nodded, then shook his head.

"But who can keep surviving forever? I'm afraid the final result won't be very good."

For a moment, both Old Qin and Xu Kong were silent.

"Cough cough!!!"

Cao Yanhua suddenly coughed, interrupting the silence between the two and introduced the two to each other.

"Xu Kong, this is Mr. Qin, the mainstay of the headquarters. Many supernatural incidents in the country are solved by Mr. Qin."

"Master Qin, this is Xu Kong, who controls the 'Ghost Cabinet'."

Then, Cao Yanhua looked at Xu Kong.

"At the beginning, we agreed on a deal. I would first pay you a thousand evil spirits, and you would help the headquarters solve the Shou Village incident and hand over the Shou ghosts to the headquarters."

"According to the contact between the headquarters and Yang Jian and Tong Qian, as well as the subsequent investigation, the Shou Village incident has indeed been resolved."

He paused slightly and said.

"Before, you said that it was unsafe to rely solely on Fang Feisheng and others to transport the Shougui. It would be better for you to manage it first, and then we will come to you when the headquarters is ready for the balance."

"So we also agreed to trade in ZS City."

"The 'balance' headquarters is ready now. Where's Shougui?"

Cao Yanhua pointed to dozens of boxes in the hall and asked Xu Kong.

Over the past few days, Xu Kong, who had already completed the "simulation" of the longevity ghost's supernatural laws, pointed directly at the ground under Cao Yanhua's feet.

"The Shougui is here."

Cao Yanhua was startled and looked down quickly.

However, on the marble floor, there appeared an image of a young Taoist holding a wine glass.

Cao Yanhua hurriedly moved aside, but was still a little hesitant.

“…Is this a Shougui?”

"Yes."

Xu Kong nodded.

"Shou ghosts are evil ghosts that tend to be idealistic, so they can naturally be imprisoned with images."

Cao Yanhua, who had no idea what was going on, turned to look at Old Qin. Seeing him nod slightly, he confirmed that it was the real thing.

But the problem came again.

Cao Yanhua was holding an open golden box, looking at the image of a young Taoist holding a cup on the marble floor, motionless.

"You turned the Shougui into an image. How are we going to imprison it?"

"Use the ghost den."

Xu Kong gave an answer, then looked at Old Qin and said.

"Master Qin should have a solution, right?"

"Are you here to see what an old man like me can do?"

Old Qin glanced at Xu Kong, then raised his cane and hit the longevity ghost on the marble floor. Then he lifted up the illusory image and it fell into the golden box in Cao Yanhua's hand.

Cao Yanhua quickly sealed the golden box.

Xu Kong watched all this and was not surprised.

Or he would be surprised if the famous Mr. Qin did not have such ability.

So Xu Kong just waited for Cao Yanhua to finish everything before he spoke.

"Minister Cao, since you have received Shougui, it means the deal is done."

"'Balance', I understand."

Cao Yanhua spoke up and answered quickly.

There were dozens of large boxes today, and he spoke with more confidence.

"How many evil spirits do you want?"

Xu Kong looked at Cao Yanhua and made an offer.

"The normal price is one thousand for the 'front payment' and two thousand for the 'remaining payment'."

"no problem."

Cao Yanhua pointed to the big box in the hall.

"Each box here contains a hundred evil spirits. You only need to open twenty boxes."

Xu Kong was not polite either. He swept a scarlet light across and collected all the two thousand evil spirits in the twenty boxes and put them into his bag.

The number of ghost catchers suppressed has officially exceeded 10349, reaching .

Then, Xu Kong looked at Cao Yanhua and asked.

"The remaining boxes?"

"Of course, we are also preparing for the transaction."

Cao Yanhua responded.

"There are still 3,600 evil spirits here."

"Due to the current serious situation, the headquarters intends to trade ownerless ghost quarantine zones for cities across the country to ensure that enough people survive."

"And according to what was said before, as long as the headquarters continues to pay the price of one evil spirit per 20 square kilometers per year, the deal will not be concluded."

"Xu Kong, do you accept this deal?"

"Of course!"

Xu Kong said with a smile.

He has pushed this matter overtly and covertly countless times, so how could he possibly refuse under the circumstances?

"it is good!"

Cao Yanhua was very happy.

"We will be responsible for clearing out the remaining evil spirits."

"You just need to use the ghost cabinet to isolate the ownerless evil spirits in the city area."

As the scarlet light flashed again, the remaining thirty-six boxes were all broken open, and all the evil spirits were suppressed by Xu Kong.

The number of ghost catchers suppressed is +3600.

From today on, Xu Kong officially entered the rent collector industry.

Fortunately, the ghost catcher had already suppressed a lot of evil ghosts before, otherwise, with so many evil ghosts suddenly appearing, the ghost catcher might be overwhelmed.

Then, in the eyes of Old Qin and Cao Yanhua, a dark red cupboard appeared behind Xu Kong, and countless scarlet blood gushed out of it, then disappeared in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

A series of message alerts sounded on Cao Yanhua's mobile phone.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from the headquarters saying that a faint scarlet sky had appeared in the sky over every county in the country, and asked what to do.

After Cao Yanhua replied, "Follow the decision of the previous meeting and do a good job in guiding public opinion," he put down his phone, looked at Xu Kong again, and praised him sincerely.

"You're moving... too fast."

"Is it not going to be good soon?"

Xu Kong asked back.

"Of course."

Cao Yanhua nodded.

“It would be better if it just takes quality into consideration.”

"Don't worry, the ghost cabinet is powerful enough."

Xu Kong promised.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Cao Yanhua stood up and shook hands with Xu Kong.

“Hopefully there will be no deadline for future deals.”

"I'm looking forward to it too."

Xu Kong responded with a smile.

…………

After Xu Kong's transaction with the headquarters was completed, Old Qin, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke.

"Can you take me around here?"

"can."

Xu Kong glanced at Mr. Qin and simply responded.

Xu Kong saw nostalgia in Old Qin's eyes.

If you miss the old scenery and people, you naturally won't take action.

Of course, the more important reason is that Xu Kong has the confidence that he can directly suppress Old Qin.

That's why he agreed so readily.

Xu Kong was in front and Qin Lao was behind, and the two of them walked upstairs towards the Caesar Hotel.

As for Cao Yanhua?
Old Qin sent him to pack up the big boxes and the gold containers inside.

As Xu Kong and Qin Lao walked onto the carpet at the stairs, they could both sense that the spiritual place and the real Caesar Hotel were beginning to intersect.

But no one spoke, and both of them walked in silence.

Mr. Qin just asked to take him for a tour, but did not say that he would explain things to him.

To be honest, Xu Kong may not know more about Caesar Hotel than Mr. Qin.

Of course, after transforming the mysterious land that intersects with reality into Xu's residence, Xu Kong must know more than Old Qin.

Xu Kong pushed open the glass door on the second floor and entered the mysterious place, Xu's house, from reality. He turned around and extended an invitation to the surprised Old Qin.

"Welcome to Xu's house!"

Just as Xu Kong expected, Old Qin was shocked when he walked into Xu's house.

He was not surprised by the mysterious place connected to the second floor. Old Qin had known about this for a long time.

What surprised Old Qin was that Xu Kong actually transformed this mysterious place in Caesar Hotel into his own house.

Even when he walked in Xu's house, he could feel endless oppression.

It is conceivable what kind of situation an ordinary ghost rider would encounter here.

Looking at Xu Kong's natural expression, it is obvious that this mysterious place has been completely controlled by him.

Old Qin was not afraid that Xu Kong would take action.

First, since drinking the "birthday wine", Mr. Qin no longer has to be so careful when using his supernatural powers, and he can summon his teammates through the ghost bus at any time.

Second, in his future communications, he did not see any signs of Xu Kong taking action.

But even if you don't take action, entering someone else's private spiritual place and being suppressed in all aspects is still a very terrifying thing.

"Do you know the origin of Caesar Hotel?"

Mr. Qin took the initiative to bring up the topic in an attempt to distract himself.

"I don't know."

Xu Kong shook his head.

Compared to Yang Jian, Old Qin seemed to prefer sitting down in the yard, looking at the dim sky and reminiscing about the past.

“The Caesar Hotel was actually built during the Republic of China.”

“But back then, it wasn’t this big.”

“It’s just also connected to this mysterious place.”

"When we entered here, there were doors everywhere and countless evil spirits."

"Although we have suppressed a group of them, there are still a steady stream of evil spirits coming out from the depths of the spirit world."

"Finally, one of my friends chose to settle in ZS City to suppress the evil spirits that escaped from the spiritual land."

"It was under his suppression that the Caesar Hotel gradually became what it is today."

Old Qin's voice was a little slow, as if he was recalling something as he spoke.

"However, human lifespan is limited after all, even for the most powerful ghost rider."

"If you force yourself to live, you will become neither human nor ghost."

"These old friends of ours didn't want to become something other than themselves, so they all chose to design their own deaths before their deadlines came."

"For example, this old friend of Caesar Hotel chose to split his evil spirit before he died, and left his body in this hotel, suppressing the evil spirit inside forever."

Old Qin looked at Xu Kong.

"To be honest, they did lack some luck."

"If they can wait a few years, the Shougui can at least help them extend their lifespan by ten years."

"I want to thank you for this as well. It gives us the opportunity to extend our lifespans and keep fighting for a while longer."

"It's just a simple transaction."

Xu Kong shook his head and didn't want to accept this thanks.

"Besides, even if I'm not here, if you go by yourself, Mr. Qin, you should be able to detain him, right?"

"Then I'll die of old age in Shou Village."

Old Qin told a joke and then said.

"I am actually a natural born weirdo. I have been controlling a fierce ghost since I was born, and it will not be revived."

"But I am still a human being after all, so I have a life span."

"The life span of the body is easy to deal with. All we have to do is use a powerful ghost to modify reality."

"But there is no cure for the lack of consciousness."

"The Shougui just restrains us old folks."

"Whether I go or my friends go, there is no guarantee that we won't be attacked by Shougui."

"If he dies in Shou Village at that time, it will only cause an even more horrific disaster."

"But only you!"

Old Qin looked at Xu Kong and emphasized.

"You are the only one who can safely imprison Shougui no matter what the situation is."

"So, I recommended you to the headquarters."

"Luckily, my old bones still have some weight."

"The headquarters agreed to it."

Xu Kong nodded and said.

"I see."

"I was wondering why Cao Yanhua was so confident on the phone. It turns out that you, Mr. Qin, are backing him up."

"It's a bit too much to say that I have a backer."

Old Qin shook his head and said.

"I just stayed at the headquarters a little longer, and some people listened to me."

"As for Xiao Cao and the others?"

"Everyone is fighting and struggling to prevent the country from suffering."

“Regarding this, both my old friends and most of the current leaders do the same.”

"It is thanks to everyone's joint efforts that the country has been able to maintain general stability."

Xu Kong nodded to show his affirmation.

Those who carry firewood must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow.

It was with this in mind that he handed over the Shougui after simulating the rules.

Otherwise, the monopoly of the "birthday wine" business should be more valuable than the "birthday wine" supplied by two companies.

It is impossible for Xu Kong to burn himself to warm others as Qin Lao said.

But it did not prevent him from lending a helping hand when he had the chance.

It's not like a saint, but it's just a basic kindness.

"In the future, with the Scarlet Sky Quarantine Zone you provided, the domestic situation has become more stable."

Old Qin continued to speak, and he spoke with certainty, as if he had seen the future.

"However, as the number of evil spirits increases, the existence of ghosts can no longer be concealed."

“There will be another wave of change in the future.”

"Most powerful ghost riders form groups to fight for their own rights and interests, and demand to become the most powerful people."

“That would have been reasonable.”

"They sacrificed their lives to fight against the terrifying evil spirits and protect the safety of everyone."

"With more responsibilities comes more rights."

"But within the Scarlet Sky, the safety of most people does not need them to protect them."

"The only things that need to be protected are going out to plant crops, harvest crops, mine, and so on."

"But there are still many ghost riders who haven't changed their mindset."

“Then the unrest happened.”

Xu Kong listened calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He is just a seller of safe zones, providing basic security like food to the masses.

It's not possible that social conflicts would break out by blaming Xu Kong, the "tenant collector", right?

This has nothing to do with him cutting leeks.

Old Qin was still talking.

"The ghost riders are divided into two factions."

"One faction advocates overthrowing the rule of ordinary people and establishing a kingdom of ghost riders."

"The other group is standing firm and opposing society entering a stage where only force is king."

"The two factions were fighting each other, and people from abroad were also stirring up trouble."

"By the time everything calmed down, the country's population had dropped by three or four tenths."

"And those who held their ground and won had no choice but to stay in the scarlet sky to lick their wounds and quietly wait for the population to grow."

"The previously formulated plans for tracing the origin of evil spirits, the plan for human wandering, etc., have all been put on hold."

"In the end, humans can only survive on this planet."

Old Qin looked at Xu Kong and asked.

"What do you think of this story?"

"……fine."

Xu Kong pondered for a moment and praised aloud.

He naturally knew that what Mr. Qin said was most likely not a story.

But that didn't stop Xu Kong from listening to this as a story.

After all, in what Mr. Qin said, the Scarlet Sky Isolation Zone remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.

This means that Xu Kong’s business of collecting rent is going very smoothly.

Since everything is going according to your plan, why can't you watch a good show and tell a good story?
If he really encounters this situation and feels unhappy, Xu Kong can also take action on his own.

No one can stop the ghost catcher who has suppressed tens of thousands of evil spirits.

"Is it?"

Old Qin heard Xu Kong's calmness and composure, and then fell silent.

In the communication with the future, he also couldn't see through Xu Kong's actions.

After a long time, Old Qin looked at Xu Kong again and asked.

"In that case, Xu Kong, are you going to come to the headquarters to take over my job?"

Xu Kong looked over in surprise.

"Eh?!!!"
