Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

Chapter 98 There are exceptions to everything
"I see."

Yue Linhai did not become suspicious and just asked thoughtfully.

"So it's your master's intention that you come to the funeral?"

"Yes and no..." Zhang Qian quickly completed his story, "Master just asked me to visit your father and didn't know about your father's death, so I am confused about your identity."

According to Yue Linhai's words, he probably did not send out invitations to others. It would be too false if Zhang Qianneng knew in advance that his father was dead.

The intention was just to visit, but it turned out that the story of his father's death was significantly more reliable.

As for why he didn’t say he was a messenger.

It can be seen from the attitude of the tattoo parlor that these places do not seem to be very friendly to messengers. If Yue Linhai knew that he was here to deliver a letter, Zhang Qian was afraid that he would not be able to reach his destination.

"That makes sense." Yue Linhai looked at Zhang Qian and nodded affirmatively.

"It's a pity that my father is dead. How about you go and pay homage to him and treat it as a visit?"

Although it was a question, Yue Linhai's tone was a bit firm, and he obviously wanted Zhang Qian and the others to stay.

He pressed forward step by step, as if reminding and threatening: "You are here, if you don't go and worship, maybe my father will be angry because of this, and the situation will be serious at that time. And your master should also I don’t want you to return without success…”

"Then go."

Zhang Qian interrupted Yue Linhai's next words. At most, it would only be death. How serious could it be.

He stared at Yue Linhai, who was getting closer, without feeling any fear.

It's hard to say whether they will die or not. The goal of the post office is to train couriers, not to eradicate them, so they will definitely not send out missions that are certain to kill them.

If I guessed correctly, the post office was the main force in this operation, and I was probably just an errand boy.

But aren’t there as many as five floors of messengers?Why do such dangerous tasks always have to be left to me?

Zhang Qian secretly slandered Luo Wensong, and then took the initiative to meet Xu Zheng's shocked eyes.

He said loudly: "It is really not polite to pass by without worshiping. Please lead the way and lead me and my junior brother to worship your father."

"Oh?" Yue Linhai paused, but he didn't expect Zhang Qian to agree so readily.

"Then come up and I will take you to the mourning hall."

Xu Zheng pulled Zhang Qian and was about to ask questions, but closed his mouth under Zhang Qian's eyes.

When a team faces a supernatural being, only one person can make a decision. This is the iron rule of the headquarters.

As the captain of the operation, Zhang Qian has made a decision, and Xu Zheng will not violate it as long as Xu Zheng does not die in vain.

But the doubts in his heart would not subside. When Yue Linhai turned around, he immediately wanted to know what Zhang Qian was thinking.

Zhang Qian made a gesture, took out a big brother, and shook it towards Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng understood immediately, took out his satellite phone and started typing on the keyboard.

After entering the ancient house, they lost contact with the outside world, and even the satellite signal had disappeared.

But the headquarters has also taken this into consideration, so the satellite phone actually has a built-in band chip, which can be connected to other phones like a walkie-talkie when necessary.Although the distance is relatively close, fortunately it will not be interrupted by the supernatural.

The two of them deliberately slowed down and hung slowly behind Yue Linhai.

After a while, Xu Zheng's text message was sent.

"The gate is right behind us. Why don't we just leave? The ghost candle in your hand has been lit. According to the length of the ghost candle, it should be able to withstand several attacks, which is enough for us to open the door and go out."

Zhang Qian handed the ghost candle to the cloaked ghost shadow and pressed the keyboard quickly. "Because I can't be sure if it's an exit. Guizhu can withstand supernatural attacks, but it can't isolate the influence of supernatural beings."

Facts have proved that the ghost candle cannot affect the supernatural place. Zhang Qian had lit the ghost candle in the ghost post office before, but he was not kicked out directly, and the ghost post office did not dissipate.

"Then let the ghost candle burn like this? Isn't it too wasteful?" Xu Zheng asked.

A ghost candle will burn very slowly unless it encounters a ghost, but it does not break away from the category of candle and will still wear out normally.

According to calculations, even without the influence of supernatural powers, the burning time of a ghost candle is less than five hours.

Otherwise, there is no need to ignite it again when in danger. Keeping it burning can also prevent sneak attacks from evil spirits.

"Don't think about waste at this time. I'm worried that Yue Linhai can communicate with us because of the existence of Guizhu. If Guizhu is extinguished and he starts going crazy again, we will be in trouble." Zhang Qian replied.

"That's true, and he must have attacked us with supernatural power before. Lighting the ghost candle now can be regarded as an insurance. I hope the mourning hall is not too far away, and I hope the ghost candle can last until then..."

Xu Zheng was pressing the keyboard with concentration, when a voice suddenly came to his ears.

"What are you talking about? You are having so much fun talking."

Zhang Qian turned his head in shock and found that Yue Linhai, who had been leading the way just now, had disappeared and appeared at the back of the team at some point.

But Zhang Qian was sure that he had been observing Yue Linhai's movements and could not inadvertently surpass him.

Another ghost land?

Is it really just one for each person?
At this moment, Yue Linhai was looking at the small screen of the satellite phone curiously. The fluorescence emitted by the screen was reflected on his glasses, revealing a hint of danger.

But Zhang Qian knew that the screen of the mobile phone was very small. As long as he didn't use it, the information he could see every time was definitely limited.

So he simply took the lead and attacked, "It's not good to pry into other people's privacy, isn't it? You obviously studied abroad, so you should know how to respect privacy, right?"

"Respect privacy?" Yue Linhai withdrew his head boredly, shook his head and said, "Then I hope you will respect me first. You would rather chat on the phone behind me than talk to me. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

"terribly sorry."

Zhang Qian glanced at Xu Zheng, who was almost stunned, and explained, "We just feel that the environment here is a bit strange, so we just want to discuss it."

"Hmm...it's indeed strange. Why don't you put out the candle and I'll show you something more interesting?"

Yue Linhai suddenly appeared next to Zhang Qian, his slightly smiling eyes staring into Zhang Qian's eyes.

Seeing that Zhang Qian didn't answer, the smile in his eyes became even wider. He reached behind Zhang Qian's head with his left hand and pulled out a ghost candle as if by magic.

Zhang Qian's pupils shrank sharply. The feeling of this candlelight was no different from that of a real ghost candle.

Looking at the cloaked ghost on the side, the ghost candle in his hand was indeed missing.

"This is just a little quirk of mine. Can you please be tolerant and give it back to me?" Zhang Qian said bravely.

"of course can."

Yue Linhai readily agreed and added, "But only after it is extinguished."

After saying that, he breathed out softly.

The candle trembled a few times and turned into a few wisps of smoke.

The ghost candle is extinguished...
