Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door

Link stared at the pure gold invitation in his hand—no, it should be called a challenge—lost his composure, his index finger unconsciously tapping the armrest.

"Tap, tap..."

The living room of the villa was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Russell sat obediently on the ground, awaiting his fate. The towering figure from last night had shattered his pride with a single punch.

What young talents, what rising stars of ghost tamers, are all things of the past.

He no longer has worldly desires.

Resistance? Not a chance.

I just hope that Mr. Lin will give Mr. Ye some face and let him suffer less.

"Swish"

Link picked up the challenge letter with two fingers, flicked it casually, and with seemingly little force, it accurately struck Russell's shoulder.

The challenge letter was half-cut into his flesh, and Russell's shoulder was quickly soaked with blood, but he didn't dare to utter a sound.

"Not everyone is like Ye Zhen, who can control the vengeful ghost that crashed. I still have the problem of the vengeful ghost's resurrection to solve, and I don't have time to play this kind of boring game with him."

His voice was calm, but the astonishing information it conveyed made Russell's eyes widen in surprise.

System crash?

Anyone who has ever used a computer can instantly understand these terms.

If we apply the concept of a computer crash to a vengeful ghost...

"No wonder President Ye is so powerful; he's controlled the vengeful spirit of the crashed machine! But... Link has never met President Ye, how does he know all this? Just because his name is Astrologer?"

Russell's mind was racing. He stole a glance at Link's ghostly eyes, which were like black holes, and unconsciously shrank back, feeling as if his underwear had been seen through.

To cover his embarrassment, he coughed and said dryly, "As the powerful ghost tamer who killed Jiang Shangbai, President Lin naturally has the right to choose."

"Russell, where is this? Are we all dead?"

Lin Luomei also woke up, reached out to touch her forehead, but didn't feel her forehead. Instead, she felt a sharp dent from a bone fragment and thick cerebrospinal fluid. The excruciating pain made her eyes tremble violently, her vision blurred, and she fainted again.

"Forehead……"

Russell forced a smile and said, "President Lin, we have delivered the message. Because of the misunderstanding last night, my partner and I still need to receive treatment, so we won't disturb you any longer."

"It's a misunderstanding, it's not a misunderstanding."

Link pointed his index finger at the three people: "You dare to infiltrate my territory and use supernatural powers to attack security personnel. This is no ordinary ghost-tamer intrusion incident. You think you can leave? Not so easy."

"What does Mr. Lin think we need to do? Publish an apology, or owe him a favor? We admit we were in the wrong this time."

Russell's eyes held a clear naiveté, believing that an apology would solve the problem.

Link laughed, out of anger.

"The last person who dared to use supernatural powers on me in Guanjiang Community was some city manager on WeChat Moments, who lost two billion yuan. Surely the people on your paranormal forums aren't cheaper than those on WeChat Moments?"

If one person has 2 billion, then three people would be... 6 billion?

Russell had never seen so much money in his life, and he never even dared to dream of it.

If he could get two billion by committing suicide, he would even consider cutting his own throat to die.

"This, this..."

"Call Ye Zhen and tell him to pay the ransom. If he doesn't pay, we'll dig the ghosts out of their bodies to recoup our losses."

Lin Ke, not wanting to waste any more time here, walked out of the villa without looking back and said, "Anyway, we've already faced Fang Shiming, so adding Ye Zhen won't be a big deal."

Russell was extremely conflicted and regretted his decision. Looking at his teammate who was already on the verge of death, he still decided to call Ye Zhen.

"Is it Link? I knew you wouldn't refuse a battle between strong individuals."

"President Ye, this is Luo Suyi. We had some friction with President Lin, and now they want six billion to release us, or they'll kill us."

Russell looked terrified. As a ghost tamer, losing the support of a vengeful spirit would mean certain death.

The top floor of the tallest building in Da Hai City.

In an office decorated with numerous anime-style figurines, a young man listened to the conversation coming through the receiver and laughed: "Oh, interesting. As expected of the rising star of the Huaxia Sect, he immediately talks about cultivation resources. His goal is clear. I admire him."

A man who appeared to be his secretary whispered a reminder: "I heard that Wang Zhixuan also spent two billion to save his life back then, and now it seems to be true. Mr. Ye, why don't we just snatch him away?"

Ye Zhen slammed his fist on the table and said, "Rob people? Why would we rob them? If our friends on social media see this, they'll think our supernatural forum can't afford spirit stones! Two billion and one spirit stone per person, let's crush their social media feeds!"

"what?"

Seeing Ye Zhen suddenly become so agitated, the secretary had no way to refute him and could only quickly transfer the money.

Ye Zhen pressed on, "Will Lin Tianjiao participate in the World's Number One Ghost Path Tournament hosted by me, Ye Zhen?"

Russell's lips twitched. Under the cold gazes of Yan Li and Zhang Han, he suppressed his urge to complain and mumbled, "President Lin said he has some important matters to attend to recently and might not be able to make it."

"Alas, not being able to compete against a genius like me is truly the greatest regret of his life..."

Ye Zhen hung up the phone with a sigh and looked at his secretary: "Without Lin Tianjiao, the showdown at the top of Ping An Building will be much less exciting. What are the responses from the other geniuses of Kyushu?"

The secretary was already used to Ye Zhen changing his form of address every now and then, and said without changing his expression, "You rejected them all. Some people even said that you wanted to use this opportunity to gather a group of top ghost tamers, take down Fang Shiming, and monopolize the Chinese financial circle."

Ye Zhen, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, roared, "Outrageous! Who said that? I, Ye Zhen, will shatter space right now, traverse three thousand continents, and kill him on the spot with lightning speed!"

"Deputy Minister Cao from headquarters."

Ye Zhen slumped into the boss's chair, staring intently at the figurines in the display case, and said absentmindedly, "Oh, so he's the sect's law enforcement elder. Considering his age, I, as the sect's chief, will tolerate him for a few days."

It has to be said that WeChat Moments and paranormal forums, these two gathering places for capitalists, are indeed very wealthy. Six billion and three yuan arrived in less than ten minutes.

Link was very accommodating; once he received the funds, he released the three and even thoughtfully called an ambulance for them.

……

The sales office of Guanjiang Residential Complex and the chairman's office of Xingmen Group.

Cao Yang was covered in dust and grime, but his eyes shone with an alarming brightness, reminding Lin Ke of himself who had taken on a mortgage right after graduating from university—he was practically a nuclear-powered donkey.

Cao Yang placed a slender gold box and a gold body bag on the table and said with a smile, "President Lin, everything is here."

The contents of the body bag appeared to be alive, making rustling sounds inside, but were unable to break free due to the barrier of the gold material.

Link opened the long box, revealing two red candles and one white candle, each wrapped in a layer of gold leaf.

One red and one white candle are the reward for imprisoning the card-dealing ghost; the other red candle, along with the vengeful ghost in the golden body bag, are the reward for extending Cao Hai's life.

"Sure, it seems our first collaboration went very well."

"My uncle's family asked me to convey their gratitude to you. At the same time, I am also very grateful for Mr. Lin's help. Without you, both the headquarters and my personal family would have suffered huge losses."

Link said calmly, "It's only right to do things for money. I think it's best for us to stick to a purely monetary transaction."

He could vaguely guess that Cao Yang's purpose in cultivating the relationship was simply to secure some assistance from headquarters in the future, based on their friendship.

However, he is not a sycophant who would fawn over or beg for favors from those who have betrayed him.

"President Lin, I understand you."

Cao Yang sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying, "The main reason is that the headquarters has recently expanded its recruitment, and many ghost riders who are about to recover have joined. Considering that you have a more precise treatment plan than Professor Wang, the headquarters wants to deepen its cooperation with you."

"sure."

Link's eyes flickered, and for the first time ever, he didn't refuse.

"The prerequisite is that for every time I allow a Ghost Tamer from headquarters to control a second ghost, I must select one person from headquarters to leave headquarters and join Stargate Group, and headquarters must release that person."

All other consultation fees and remuneration will be handled according to Cao Hai's standards.

Cao Yang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, that would make headquarters your subordinate organization, wouldn't it? This is a matter of principle."

"Then forget it. I don't want to waste my supernatural powers on outsiders."

Link deliberately made an impossible request: to prevent more unimportant people from seeking his help to extend their lives.

His own problem of being resurrected by a vengeful ghost was troublesome enough; he didn't want to add the daily grind of dealing with doctor-patient relationships to the mix.

After seeing Cao Yang off, Link held the ghost candle and prepared to lead his men to Huanggang Village.

Feng Quan has been sleeping for so long, it's time for him to get up and deal with the paranormal events.
