Mysterious Revival: Controlling Ghosts Starts with a Bug

Chapter 82 Scarlet
"Take over? Take over what?"

Xu Kong had some guesses, but still asked back.

"It means what you think."

Old Qin didn't care about Xu Kong's attitude and answered seriously.

After all, he is an elderly man and is very open-minded about these things.

King Wen invited Taigong, and Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang. Which one of them was not humble?

You want people to work for you, but you can't allow them to be a little reserved?

Although the current situation is somewhat different, it is generally the same.

If one can reach the position of Mr. Qin, he will be the final valve for supernatural events in the country.

When the time comes, you have to stand up no matter what.

Of course, this is not the explanation.

"My current position would be called 'national teacher' in ancient times."

"Hold the fate of a country, control the life and death of hundreds of millions, raise your hands to shake the sky, stomp your feet to shake the earth, and live and die with the country."

Old Qin looked at Xu Kong and spoke slowly.

"If you take over my job, all of this will be yours."

"All domestic resources are at your disposal."

"Isn't the rule of the 'Ghost Cabinet' you control about transactions and evil spirits?"

"At that time, you can use the name of the headquarters to trade with ghost riders across the country and even abroad. You can also recruit all the spare evil spirits in the headquarters at any time."

“Whatever your need, it can be met at this location.”

"All you need to bear is the responsibility of being the spiritual foundation of the country."

"I also believe that with your ability, you can do a good job in this position."

I have to say that Mr. Qin is a very good lobbyist.

Rights are spoken of in detail, while responsibilities are spoken of in light detail.

Comparing the two, Xu Kong was somewhat moved.

"Taking over your shift? Sounds like a good idea."

Xu Kong's lips curled up.

He had been the successor for two lifetimes, but he never expected that he would actually be able to take over now.

"But unfortunately, I'm not interested."

"After all, even if I don't take over your job, I still want to do what you just said, so it's not a problem."

Xu Kong looked at Mr. Qin and refused directly.

"Besides, Mr. Qin, after you joined the headquarters, did you really gain anything from it?"

"Taking your place is just adding another constraint to myself."

"So I think it's better for us to maintain a pure 'transactional' relationship."

"That's it..."

Old Qin was speechless.

Because what Xu Kong said was indeed true.

For ghost riders at their level, they can actually get whatever they want.

During the Republic of China period, there were ghost riders at home and abroad who chose to become the ruler of a country.

Even now, there are still ghost riders passed down in some royal families abroad.

As for Xu Kong at the moment, it is not impossible for him to suppress the world by himself, and then force everyone to find evil spirits for him like a slave.

But just a slight increase in the speed of collecting evil spirits is not enough for Xu Kong to give up his nature.

So in the end, he chose the more gentle "trading" method to harvest the evil spirits.

For example, Mr. Qin himself chose to join the headquarters only because he "saw" that in the future, this would make the domestic situation better.

"Forget it. You can always come see me later if you want."

Old Qin sighed, gave up persuading him, and left the choice to the future.

He came to ask Xu Kong for help, not to make an enemy, so he had no intention of forcing him.

"I've been here long enough. It's time to go back. You don't have to see me off."

Old Qin stood up, turned around and walked out of Xu's courtyard, talking as he walked.

"Time is a river. Every choice you make will change its course."

"But there are always many river sections that are difficult to change."

"It's just that I'm probably getting old and a little stubborn, so I still want to change some things..." He came to the door, glanced at the bus stop sign, then stopped and waited silently.

But after a while, two dim lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.

A shabby bus broke through the darkness deep in the supernatural world, drove straight over and stopped in front of Xu's house.

Just as Old Qin had said, Xu Kong did not see him off.

I just watched Mr. Qin get on the bus and then drive into the darkness.

2018 9 Month 24 Day.

Dachang City, Guanjiang Community.

On this day, the sky was clear without a trace of clouds. It was obviously good weather for admiring the moon.

As a major shareholder of the community, Yang Jian naturally returned to the villa early with Jiang Yan, Wang Shanshan and others to prepare mooncakes and fruit plates for evening moon watching.

After all, although the ghost rider has a short lifespan, he still has to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But he didn't notice that a slight blush appeared on the sky at some point.

No, I should say I noticed it, but I just thought it was the evening sunset.

It was not until the sun had completely set and the moon had risen that Yang Jian finally realized something was wrong and stared at the top of his head.

I saw a blood-red moon in the sky, casting wisps of blood-red moonlight, with an inexplicable chill, covering everything between heaven and earth like a veil.

Yang Jian sensed it carefully, but did not feel anything supernatural.

But any normal person would never think that it is normal for the blood moon not to notice anything supernatural at a distance of more than 300,000 kilometers.

"A blood moon erupted... Could it be that the moon was also affected by the supernatural?"

After confirming the reality, Yang Jian's expression was filled with shock and a little panic.

No wonder Yang Jian is like this.

As a high school student with normal academic performance, he understands the importance of the moon to mankind.

Not to mention anything else, even if the moon is just rotating around the earth normally, its gravity will cause tides.

What if something happens to the moon?

Yang Jian didn't dare to imagine further, and directly covered Jiang Yan and others with the ghost den, and then turned into a rainbow and returned to the villa, avoiding the direct moonlight.

Then he took out his satellite-positioned phone and called the headquarters.

"Hello, Liu Xiaoyu, I'm Yang Jian."

"Has the headquarters discovered any abnormalities in the moon? I saw a blood moon in Dachang City. It seems that a supernatural event has occurred on the moon..."

After experiencing the Dachang City starving ghost incident, the haunted bus, and the Dazheng City Shoucun incident, Yang Jian has recognized his position in the supernatural circle.

Although his personality hasn't changed much, he has become much more cautious in his actions.

The diameter of the moon is one-fourth that of the earth.

The evil spirit that could affect the entire moon was not something he could deal with.

"Perhaps, we should gather the power of ghost riders from all over the world to deal with it?"

Outside the golden secret room of the villa, Yang Jian thought so.

Then, he heard the operator Liu Xiaoyu on the other end of the line chuckle and then explained.

"Don't worry, Yang Jian. This is the headquarters' method. There is no problem with the moon."

"I sent you a message this afternoon, didn't you see it?"

"In view of the increasingly serious outbreak of various supernatural events, the headquarters will cover all cities in the country with a scarlet sky curtain starting today, which can isolate all ownerless evil spirits and ghosts."

"We sent you a document notifying you of this this afternoon, but we didn't call you."

"Of course, there were people in charge who called the headquarters to ask questions."

"But you're the only one who thinks there are paranormal events on the moon..."

Yang Jian hung up the phone silently and looked out the window.

"Isolated from the supernatural?"

He thought of the transaction between Xu Kong and Wang Xiaoming that he had heard in Ping An Building before.

"The ghost cabinet controlled by Xu Kong is also scarlet, right?"

Yang Jian compared it with what he had seen in the past and found that the scarlet patch on the sky was indeed somewhat similar to the ghost cabinet controlled by Xu Kong.

It’s just that there are so many scarlet ghosts in the world that Yang Jian couldn’t think of them all at the moment.

"I didn't expect Xu Kong to be so powerful..."

Sorry, I was dragged to take care of the baby today, so I couldn't write much, so I only wrote one update. I owe 8,000 words, and I will make up for it in two chapters tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Finally, I shamelessly ask for follow-up reading, recommendations, monthly tickets, and comments. Let's get lively.
