Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door

Chapter 5, codenamed "Astrology"

"call……"

Link exhaled a cold breath, trembling. Tiny ice crystals condensed on the steering wheel, causing the temperature inside the car to drop significantly.

This is a supernatural occurrence caused by the magic trick; it wasn't something Link intentionally used. Rather, it's because the apprentice ghost's resurrection level has increased, and it's starting to become uncontrollable.

"This phenomenon occurred after the apprentice ghost occupied a quarter of the body. Fortunately, the active element was magic and supernatural phenomena. As long as the casting instinct was restrained, the impact was minimal."

My biggest fear is that recording paranormal events might get out of control and force me to record highly terrifying paranormal phenomena; if that happened, I might just die instantly.

Unlike the evil gods and Outer Gods in Lord of Mysteries, whom he has never even met, the vengeful spirits truly exist within Link's body. The constant threat of death keeps him on edge, preventing him from being careless in the slightest.

He picked up a piece of gold and sighed inwardly, "The human body cannot control the powerful forces of rules for long. In the original work, the paths of the Ghost Tamer include balance, crash, anomaly, curse, and even godhood..."

I wonder which path my apprentice ghost will take once it fully develops.

"Buzzing..."

The satellite phone, as heavy as a brick, was vibrating in his pocket, but Link didn't answer it right away.

Once, twice... the caller persisted until the fifth vibration before finally pressing the answer button.

Qi Wanhe's concerned voice came through the receiver: "Mr. Lin, we detected that your signal is not moving. How are you currently?"

Link said calmly, "My condition is good at the moment. I should be able to live for another month before the vengeful ghost resurrects."

Qi Wanhe fell silent upon hearing this. According to the files of ghost tamers she had come across, ghost tamers with such short lifespans as Link were rare even in the entire headquarters.

Even a workaholic like Zhou Zheng can live for more than two months.

Fortunately, she was used to seeing life and death, and possessed excellent professional skills, so she quickly composed herself.

"First of all, congratulations on successfully recovering the vengeful ghost of Zhou Zheng, the person in charge. Headquarters will send someone over to hand it over to you later, including the latest supernatural item developed by headquarters—the Red and White Ghost Candle. We have to thank you for providing the formula for this."

"I need to study the ghost baby first and will not consider handing it over to headquarters for the time being. Ghost candles and other supernatural items can be sent over, the more the better."

"Mr. Lin, this is not in accordance with the rules..."

Link interrupted Qi Wanhe and said to himself, "Rules are rules. Anyway, I don't have much time left to live. Consider the ghost baby as something I borrowed from headquarters. We can write an IOU. The ghosts on my body can be used as interest. You can take them all back when I die. I have no objection."

If you can't make the decision, just report it truthfully to your superiors.

By then you'll be dead, what opinions will you have?!

Even with her professional training, Qi Wanhe couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "Fine, I will report this matter, but please don't have too high hopes."

In her mind, the headquarters held a high position and authority that was inviolable, and was definitely not a place where a newly emerging Ghost Tamer like Link could mess with.

If Link knew her mindset, he would definitely scoff at it.

To put it bluntly, operators are just ordinary workers with limited experience. The struggle between ghost tamers has never been about reputation or power, but only about life and death.

"Mr. Lin, your appointment as the interim head of Dachang City has taken effect. You need to go to the Municipal Bureau for a preliminary comprehensive psychological assessment. In one month... we hope you can go to Dajing City for further training."

"Understood, I'll go test it when I have time."

Qi Wanhe's voice was calm and clear: "It has been confirmed that there are vengeful ghosts in Xingfu Community. According to the investigation, the ghosts inside will call out names or nicknames and wave. As long as you take one step closer to them, it will trigger a killing pattern. At present, there are no signs of them moving actively. Therefore, it is temporarily classified as a Class C paranormal event, codenamed [The Ghost That Calls People]."

Your relative's file has been collected and will be sent to your mobile phone via email.

Through the car window, Link saw Yang Jian happily step out: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll check it out. If necessary, I'll deal with the ghost that summons people. I'll disconnect now if there's nothing else."

"Something's up."

Qi Wanhe hurriedly said, "Headquarters needs to create a file for you, which requires collecting information about your supernatural powers and determining your code name."

Link lowered his gaze slightly and casually said, "Let's call it 'Astrology,' because it possesses the supernatural power to predict the future through astrology."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I wish you all the best."

Just as the phone call ended, Yang Jian overheard Link mentioning the code name, and a similar glint flashed in his eyes.

This is a lie!

He had seen Link use several different kinds of supernatural powers, so how could he just be an astrologer?

Link put down his phone, looking calm: "Many ghosts only follow rules to kill, and I can quickly figure out those rules, so they're nothing to fear. But humans are different. Many ghost tamers are a bunch of short-lived lunatics who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

Reducing the leakage of one's own intelligence is necessary.

Take Yan Li from the original work, for example. He has a body full of ghost blood and is extremely powerful in suppressing ghosts and ghost tamers. However, someone figured out his tricks and subdued him with just a few ordinary thugs, torturing him to the point of wishing he were dead.

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier? I've already created a file for him at headquarters, and his code name is Ghost Eye Yang Jian."

Yang Jian was somewhat anxious and even considered asking his operator, Liu Xiaoyu, to help him modify the file.

"Don't worry, just increase your own supernatural powers. This is also the method I prepared for you to alleviate the resurgence of vengeful spirits..."

As he spoke, Link explained to Yang Jian the path of the Ghost Tamer, including balance and death.

While Yang Jian was amazed, he trusted Link even more.

The car started, a gentle breeze blew, and Link felt quite pleased to notice that Yang Jian's way of addressing him was more intimate.

Having foresight has many advantages. Even if he is unlucky enough to die during the apprentice ghost's promotion ceremony, he will still get a security guard position in Guanjiang Community in the future.

"You just said I was going to be a dad, which gave me quite a shock. I'm still a virgin, and it turns out you're going to get a special tattoo for Wang Shanshan. You seem to be looking at all sorts of study materials."

Send me a copy when I get back.

Yang Jian suddenly mentioned it, and Link's expression suddenly froze.

Having transmigrated twice, he was constantly in danger of death, so much so that he was still a virgin after all this time, which made his life rather miserable.

"Go back? What for? My house is haunted. Let's hide the ghost baby and then continue our ghost-catching."

"What a coincidence? My house is haunted too. That thing disguised itself as my dad and almost killed me."

Link didn't think it was a coincidence at all; it was more likely a assessment of a new ghost tamer by a senior ghost tamer from the Republic of China era.

If you can't even get past this hurdle, it means you don't have the qualifications to be a ghost tamer and deserve to be eliminated.

It is truly a joy to fight with ghosts, and a joy to fight with people.

Thinking about this, Link suddenly understood the fun: "Yang Jian, after we control the second vengeful ghost, should we find that ghost and get revenge?"

"Absolutely."

Both men wore dead smiles at the same time. One had a black pupil that almost filled his entire right eye, and the other had an extra eye on his forehead, making them look particularly sinister and eerie in the cold car.
