Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

"Have you finally made up your mind?"

Amidst the sound of the waves, an old voice seemed to ring in Zhang Qian's ears, awakening his unconscious consciousness.

I really got caught.

I just opened the book in my hand, and suddenly everything went dark...

Although I know there is a high probability that something will go wrong, this kind of irresistible emergency is still a bit annoying.

Zhang Qian, who was speechless, opened his eyes, just as a bright orange light beam swept across, obscuring his vision.

Some dazzling.

He raised his hand to block the light, but was surprised to find that he failed.

It's not that my body is out of control, I can still feel and control my limbs, but now it's more like... my arms have become transparent.

When I looked down, there was only a dark brown floor, with no feet or body at all.

Got it, immersive movie, Transparent Man series.

I just want to read a book...Do you want to act in a movie for me?

"It's the best way."

No matter what Zhang Qian thought, a hoarse voice came from not far away.

The content in the movie continues.

The huge light beam slowly moved away, Zhang Qian squinted his eyes, and finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.

It seems to be on a ship.

Not far away, at the bow of the ship, a man wearing a black hat was leaning on the guardrail, his back to Zhang Qian, whose face could not be seen clearly.

Beside Zhang Qian, stood an ordinary-looking old man wearing a black tunic suit.

The only feature, perhaps, is the monocle worn on the eyes?
  Zhang Qian looked at the old man in front of him and hesitated, then controlled his right hand and stretched it out in front of him and shook it.

"hello?"

Hmm...no response.

Neither the old man nor the figure in the distance noticed the movement here, which made Zhang Qian feel a lot more relaxed.

It's really just a movie. Since you don't need to be an actor in person, it should be much safer.

After confirming his own safety, Zhang Qian felt confident enough and began to walk around and observe the surrounding environment.

The deck underfoot was very bright, as if it had just been painted, and it reflected the sunlight from the sky.

Outside the ship is an endless expanse of sea. Under a clear weather with almost no clouds, the sea water shines with dazzling light and continues to extend until it meets the sky.

After scanning around, Zhang Qian raised his head and looked at the searchlight hanging on the tower.

This thing... seems a bit familiar.

"Ugh-"

The deafening whistle suddenly sounded, and even though Zhang Qian knew that the things in front of him were fake, he still couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

Is this sound basically certain?

Shortly after the whistle sounded, wisps of fog appeared from nowhere and slowly floated on the deck.

It was very light at first, but after just ten seconds, these thin mist began to overlap continuously, and the coverage area became larger and larger.

Until the last day, the sun completely covered the ship underfoot.

Even Zhang Qian felt a hint of coldness.

This fog seems to belong to another world. It is not only cut off from the warm sunshine of the outside world, but also carries a terrifying supernatural atmosphere. "It's really a ghost ship..."

So, will one of the two people in front of me be the captain?
  Zhang Qian walked back to the old man and took a look, feeling that his posture and dress looked inexplicably familiar.

No, it’s not that Yue Linhai is dressed similarly to him.

The content recorded in this book must be from the time before the ghost ship went silent, at least a hundred years ago. Judging from the time, Yue Linhai should be deliberately imitating this old man.

The owner of an old house? Probably.

Then the one standing at the bow of the ship should be the captain.

I'm a little disappointed...

Zhang Qian pouted, feeling that these two guys looked so ordinary.

Whether it is the ghost captain or the owner of the ancient mansion, they should be the top-notch Republican Party bosses. Why do they look no different from ordinary old men?

Although the figure that appeared to be the captain in the distance had been obscured by thick fog, the sudden glimpse failed to leave a deep impression on Zhang Qian.

"There is no character at all, worse than Xuncan..."

I thought back to the owner of the tattoo parlor, how handsome he is at commanding hundreds of ghosts. He looked like a rare and powerful person at first glance. I thought that these two stronger people would be more powerful, but this is the result?

Of course, Zhang Qian just complained in his heart, but he still kept his ears straight up, listening to the conversation between the two big guys.

The old man's turbid eyes stared forward, as if he saw the tall figure through the thick fog: "Although I don't agree with your idea, it is undeniable that your idea is not bad, and it has indeed changed some ghost control. The outcome of the person.”

What philosophy?
  Is this what you were talking about just now?

Zhang Qian's eyes were full of questions. It felt like just after going out for a while, the progress of the conversation between the two people had already flown thousands of miles away.

I don’t understand, but it doesn’t matter, it’s all for nothing.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhang Qian did not dare to desert again and listened intently to the conversation between the two.

……

Those who control ghosts will always die.

This is something that is generally accepted in the paranormal community.

No matter whether the evil ghost revives or encounters a terrifying evil ghost that cannot be dealt with, it can kill the ghost controller.

It would be fine if he just died, but the problem is that the death of a ghost controller often means the birth of new supernatural events.

And the causes of these supernatural events are often more dangerous, because the ghosts in them have already collected the puzzle pieces with the help of the ghost controller during his lifetime, and the supernatural events are more complete.

It can be said that when the number of naturally occurring fierce ghosts decreases, the remaining ghost masters will be the biggest disaster.

Having solved most of the supernatural phenomena, many top figures in the Republic of China would naturally not let this loophole go unchecked.

As a result, various unique plans emerged at the historic moment.

Divide the supernatural beings in advance to weaken the terror of the resurrected ghosts, seal the unresurrected ghost masters into gold, or even actively trigger the resurrection of the ghost masters to focus on solving...

Each plan has an effect, but their target is not a ghost, but a living person.

Although these people are destined to become evil spirits, at least until that moment arrives, they are all conscious living beings.

In fact, these ghost masters have fought to eliminate supernatural beings, even at the expense of everything they have.

But in the era when supernatural beings are retreating, it is always a bit too cruel to rush to reach out to them with the butcher's knife.

Even if it is a cost-effective option to sacrifice a small number of people in exchange for the peace of the majority of people, even if the ghost controllers who are sacrificed are not involved in such a thing.

There are still people who would say no to such a sacrifice.

That man was later the captain of the ghost ship. (End of chapter)
