Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 543 Funeral
"Are you telling me about the theory of the multiverse?"

Although what Ghost Eye Yang Jian said made sense, Ghost Shadow Yang Jian still couldn't be completely convinced.

"Infinite restarts create reincarnation, but Ghost Eye Yang Jian is independent of reincarnation because Ghost Eye is the ghost that starts reincarnation."

The scarlet sky disappeared in an instant, leaving only those words without any emotion echoing in Yang Jian's ears.

"Am I not qualified enough to take over this era?"

Yang Jian stood in mid-air, thinking about the words of another Yang Jian.

After a moment, he returned to the small temple.

"Go, bring some light to these dark times."

……

With the joining of Yang Jian and Cao Yang, the era of supernatural events suddenly showed signs of improvement. Both of them were no longer worried about the revival of evil spirits, and wherever they passed, ghosts and supernatural places quickly disappeared.

"Another ghost."

In Dachang City, after dealing with the supernatural events here, Yang Jian casually restrained a blurry ghost shadow.

Unlike the headless ghost, the outline of this ghost is complete. Although it is not very scary, its killing pattern can be easily triggered, making it a relatively dangerous type.

"If your height is shorter than the ghost, you will trigger the death curse. In the early days of the spiritual revival, you can be called a fierce ghost, but now it is not good enough."

Yang Jian opened his mouth and swallowed the ghost shadow directly.

Soon, the ghost was digested and became a part of Yang Jian.

The same scene was repeated in many haunted places in the country. Wherever Yang Jian passed, all the evil spirits similar to ghosts would be captured by him and refined in an instant.

Yang Jian and Cao Yang acted quickly. In just one day, they had visited all the major cities in the country with the most serious ghost infestations. Although the supernatural places were not completely eliminated, the number of evil spirits roaming around was actually reduced.

With the publicity of the headquarters, more and more ordinary people know the name: Yang Jian. As long as you shout out that name when encountering a ghost, the ghost catcher Yang Jian will appear from the nearest shadow, and then drive away the ghost and save the world.

However, there is more than one ghost catcher, and people spread the word:

The ghost messenger, wearing official uniform, with a black face and holding a soul-catching lock, walks around the world and detains evil ghosts.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu, wearing a long robe, looking handsome and holding a long sword, wipes out all the evil spirits and drives away the evil ghosts.

Dressed in plain clothes, with thick smoke floating around and an unclear formation, the night wanderers appear and disappear mysteriously, detaining evil spirits.

Someone posted in the Ghost Hunter Forum that he always sees a mirage when he encounters an evil ghost. It is a huge city that cannot be described in words. It is larger than any city in the country, as if the whole world is pressing on people's hearts.

"Don't be ridiculous. That must have been the work of a ghost. You were scared out of your wits. But you're lucky. You didn't die after encountering a ghost."

A passerby retorted.

"No, it was definitely not a ghost, but a god. I saw with my own eyes that a man walked out of the mirage. He just grabbed the ghost with his hand and brought it into the range of the mirage, and then everything disappeared."

The poster responded. This is not an isolated case. Two days later, another person posted the same content, but this time he also attached photos that he took at the risk of his life:
The photo was in color, but the huge world was grayish white and shrouded in a hazy mist, so it didn't look that real.

"This is the North Star Building in Otsu City."

Soon someone responded to this post, and this person’s IP was exactly Otsu City.

Not only him, many netizens have posted photos they took. The mirage presented different scenes at different angles. Some people saw Beichen Building, some saw Linhang Building in Dahang City, and Zhongzhou Building in Dazheng City, as if the mirage was a complex of many cities in the country.

"Could it be that the mirage is the real world, and the place we live in is actually the territory of a certain evil spirit?"

A netizen put forward a conjecture that was terrifying upon closer thought, and it quickly attracted heated discussions from countless people.

Half a year has passed, and the number of supernatural events has dropped to a very optimistic level. Although people still die from them, compared to the past sixty years, this year can be regarded as the safest year in the past sixty years.

However, even after so long, netizens' speculations about the world are still very popular, with thousands of people participating in heated discussions and debates every day. At the worst, the discussion even rose to the level of philosophy and politics, and even the headquarters had to delete some of the more radical remarks.

This day, Dajing City, headquarters.

Cao Yanhua died of cancer ten years ago, and Wang Guoqiang took over the position. In recent years, the headquarters can be said to have been in a slump. There are very few people who can be dispatched, and the folk ghost riders have no sense of belonging to the headquarters. They prefer to stick together for warmth. The new circle of friends has appeared in recent years.

"Friends circle, Fang Shiming?"

After learning this information, Yang Jian had the same reaction as Lu Zhiwen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"From what I know, the six elders of the new circle of friends are still alive. I have to say that they are both quite strong and lucky. With the death of the evil spirits and the fact that they rarely use supernatural powers, it is not impossible for them to live out their lives in relative peace."

"As the number of new friends increased, Fang Shiming was no longer as outspoken as he was at the beginning. The burden became heavier and heavier, and soon he was bent over. Jiang Xiaobai was Fang Shiming's agent, and his face would darken from time to time when he encountered some difficult things. He Tianxiong, as the manager of the new circle of friends, started reading military books to deal with various problems, and he always said "I have a plan."

After listening to Lu Zhiwen's words, several captains present couldn't help laughing. History always repeats itself in a surprising way. The new circle of friends seems to have followed the old path of the old circle of friends, and even people's personalities tend to be similar.

"Don't worry about them. What the headquarters wants is the stability of the overall situation. It doesn't matter how much trouble the new circle of friends makes, as long as it doesn't affect the situation."

Cao Yang said.

This coincides with Yang Jian's idea. This is no longer the era of headquarters, and under normal circumstances, there is really no need to pay too much attention.

"I invite you all this time and hope you can attend the funeral tomorrow."

Lu Zhiwen said calmly.

"Whose funeral?"

Chu Hanlin asked. He was already over eighty years old at this time. Thanks to the care of the captains that year, he did not need to overuse his ability to summon spirits, otherwise he would not have been able to survive until now.

"mine."

Lu Zhiwen was still so calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"I will be dead by this time tomorrow. The evil spirit has completely eroded my consciousness. I have no future."
