Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

The dangling thin black thread was suspended in mid-air, penetrating the tall bookshelf as if it were some invisible thing, pointing straight to a certain place.

Yue Linhai casually put the pen back into the book and started walking in the direction pointed by the thin line.

"What is this?" Zhang Qian quickly followed, looking at the line made of ink curiously.

This thing looks a bit strange, as small as smoke. As the position of the pen changes, the direction it points to changes accordingly.

It is certain that it is some kind of supernatural power, but Zhang Qian has never seen such an honest ghost. Even supernatural props mostly have lethality as their main function. Props like this that are specially used to find things are rare.

Following the direction pointed by the thin line, Yue Linhai turned an intersection again, and then explained, "This pen is actually also a fierce ghost. The attack pattern is probably to write down the name of the person, and then make it clear in your mind the target you need to kill. , it can launch an attack."

"Kill with a curse?" Zhang Qian said unexpectedly.

This method is similar to some of the immortal methods in the records, and sounds much better than ordinary ghost controllers.

Yue Linhai didn't even look back and said casually, "You can call it that. Anyway, this thing doesn't have a specific name. It's up to you."

Zhang Qian frowned and said doubtfully, "But if it is a curse, what does this have to do with its function of finding things? We are now looking for the book that represents the deck. It is impossible for it to kill one. Book?"

"Supernatural power does not necessarily have to act on living creatures. Think about it, besides killing people, can't you use supernatural power to destroy inanimate objects?" Yue Linhai asked.

It seems that this is really the case. Needless to say, Ghost Hand, even a ghost like Ghost Face that needs to be looked at directly to launch an attack can still destroy the equipment used to shoot it.

Ultimately, anything that triggers a pattern can become a target.

Under normal circumstances, the ghosts would only passively attack those things that triggered the target, which caused them to leave Zhang Qian with the impression that they would not attack dead objects.

Unlike the Ghost Controller, even if it is a dead object, it can still actively achieve the attack conditions if it wants to, such as physical contact or certain specific actions.

Zhang Qian put his eyes on the thin thread and felt a faint cold breath coming from it, "So is this thread actually the manifestation of the supernatural power in the pen? Then will it destroy the book we are looking for? ?”

Although dead objects are not alive, they will still be eroded if they are exposed to the supernatural for a long time.

Ordinary things may decay as soon as they come into contact with supernatural aura, but man-made supernatural props can last longer. The only thing that will not be affected by supernatural influences is probably gold.

Thinking about it this way, gold is really unique. Even ghosts can be affected by supernatural powers. Only this "inconspicuous" substance can block the spread of supernatural powers.

Is there a reason why gold was used as currency in the past?

Yue Linhai, who was walking in front, also turned around at this time and casually answered Zhang Qian's doubts, "It is indeed a supernatural power, but this power is very weak, and the book is also very special, so there is no need to have this aspect." concerns."

"After all, the captain must have thought about this issue when he designed the library. In the end, he must have said that he can use it with confidence only after testing it."

In fact, the supernatural strength of that pen is not high to begin with, and under the suppression of the ghost ship, even its recovery is a difficult problem. It would probably take a lot of effort to kill an ordinary person. And the books representing different regions are actually part of the ghost ship, which cannot be destroyed by this power.

"so……"

Seeing that there was still some distance to go, Zhang Qian took the opportunity to chat with Yue Linhai, "How did you know that gold has miraculous effects on supernatural beings in your time? Did someone research it?"

"Hard to say."

Yue Linhai searched his memory and found that his father had no conclusion on this matter, so he could only speculate based on those memories,

"Actually, when my father became a ghost controller, there were rumors in the circle that gold had strange effects. When he became stronger later, he wanted to find the discoverer, but he failed."

"That period of time is too long. It's hard to say whether the experience passed down by the predecessors played a role, or whether a lucky person discovered this pattern by accident. But what is certain is that the history of mankind's use of gold is much longer than yours. It has been imagined for a long time and has clear records in many classics.”

The word "splendid" is probably not an exaggeration, but the simplest description.

Maybe those rulers in ancient times really lived in palaces built with gold. After all, contemporary wealthy people can get themselves a safe house, not to mention those who centralized power in the past.

"Yeah..." Zhang Qian smiled thoughtfully, "At that time, someone told me that the function of gold was discovered by someone of this generation. I thought that our generation had finally achieved something that our predecessors could not achieve. "

But if you think about it carefully, maybe Wang Xiaoming really discovered the pattern himself.

The surviving ghost masters of the previous era seemed to be autistic and unwilling to communicate with the outside world. Wang Xiaoming also had an inquiring temperament. After catching the ghost, he would definitely find a way to contain it.

Maybe there are still piles of materials for his testing in a warehouse at the headquarters?

Yue Linhai glanced at Zhang Qian gently and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "You have seen the previous generation. Their achievements are not only reflected in their strength, but also in the construction of supernatural places and the creation of supernatural props. , the exploration of various supernatural information..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "Even if I just witnessed those events and characters as a bystander, I can still feel the glory of that era. It's hard to imagine that such an era will end one day... "

From his perspective, it is difficult to understand why many people are willing to die even though they have a way to survive, and why many people are willing to sacrifice even though they are destined to die.

Humans are so weird.

"It's really hard to imagine..." Zhang Qianyi also felt a little emotional.

"The generation of ghost controllers in the Republic of China seems to have forcibly suppressed the supernatural in the world. There have been no rumors of any serious ghosts in the past hundred years. Unfortunately, manpower is sometimes poor. They are probably getting old now and do not have the extra energy to suppress these ghosts. What a ghost..."

If nothing else, even someone as strong as Mr. Luo is heading towards the end of his life. (End of chapter)
