Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door
Chapter 56 Will-o'-the-Wisp Li Jun
While waiting, Link observed the changes in the vengeful spirit within his body.
The apprentice ghost, thanks to the glow of the ghost coffin, saw its four small tentacles grow astonishingly, taking on the shape of human limbs, and its condition became much more stable.
Above the apprentice ghost's head, a thin black thread connects to the supernatural items stolen from the ghost coffin.
After digesting the supernatural, the apprentice ghost will gain control of new supernatural powers.
Link had a premonition that once the apprentice ghost had fully grown its limbs, it would become restless and endanger his life.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare new "ghost medicine" in advance.
He thought to himself, "According to astrological predictions, this theft will definitely grant me the ability to restart. Once I leave Huanggang Village, I should start preparing for the company relocation and the next promotion ceremony."
The sky over Huanggang Village remained hazy, and as the ghost messengers fell silent, streaks of black and yellow "light" shone in from the outside.
Gradually, everything in the village vanished like a dream.
It was already dark outside, but several hundred meters away, the headlights of several cars were on, illuminating the surrounding environment.
When the village became illusory, Link and his two companions stood up, looking at the vast expanse of white land around them, each with a different expression.
Link smiled, his belly bulging as if he had just eaten a hearty meal outside.
Yang Jian was shocked by the powerful force of the vengeful ghost and pondered how the Ghost Realm had managed to achieve this.
Zhang Han lamented the deaths of ordinary people; he had seen many people when he first entered the village, but they had all perished in the supernatural events.
Link stared directly at the light source and could see several figures approaching them. His expression turned grim.
You can't be too friendly with people from headquarters, or they'll take advantage of you.
"Yang Jian, Mr. Lin Ke, Mr. Zhang Han, it's finally time to meet. I am Zhao Jianguo, the liaison captain of the headquarters. I am here today because Professor Wang Xiaoming has a matter of great importance concerning the survival of mankind that he needs to discuss with you."
Zhao Jianguo is just as his name suggests. He has a square face that gives people a sense of calm and composure, and he doesn't speak with any arrogance.
Link didn't give a friendly look, his voice tinged with anger: "You disrupted my plans, sending people into Huanggang Village without authorization, greatly strengthening the ghost messengers and almost wiping us out. We have nothing to talk about; we're already being lenient by not demanding compensation for emotional distress."
It's getting late, everyone go home.
With that, Link prepared to leave with several gold body bags.
"this……"
Zhao Jianguo looked somewhat embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Link, you know that headquarters is short-handed. Sending wild ghost riders to scout ahead is a last resort. Professor Wang's personal visit today shows his great sincerity."
Link paused, asking, "A ghost candle?"
"Ahem, why do you keep talking about ghost candles?"
Caught off guard, Zhao Jianguo coughed and shook his head, his face full of helplessness: "You and Yang Jian have almost plucked all the ghost candles from the headquarters. Ghost candles are really rare. Since they were produced, the supply has been insufficient. Now, some front-line managers, like Tong Qian, are almost like ghosts resurrected, and they have never even seen what a ghost candle looks like."
Link sneered and made a move to leave: "Is this what you call sincerity? Not much at all."
Zhao Jianguo quickly grabbed Link's left arm and said earnestly, "We can talk about anything, we can talk about anything. You've started a company now, haven't you? It's normal to ask for exorbitant prices in business and then negotiate on the spot."
"Shall we go take a look?"
Link looked at Yang Jian. The two of them standing together could indeed protect them from many threats from ghost tamers.
Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead, we have nothing to do anyway. Captain Zhao, remember to order us a few boxed lunches, we haven't eaten since noon."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The three of them still had a lot of "luggage" and declined the help from the headquarters staff.
Lin Ke and Yang Jian each carried a body bag, while Zhang Han laboriously carried the coffin, moving it to the side of the SUV.
Several figures approached. The leader was a young man in a white lab coat wearing glasses. He looked to be in his twenties, refined and gentle, with an ordinary appearance. In a laboratory, he would be just an ordinary researcher.
The young man extended his right hand to the three of them: "Link, hello, I am Wang Xiaoming, a researcher at the Ghost Rider Headquarters."
"Professor Wang, I suggest you don't make contact rashly. Link is the murderer who killed your own brother."
Behind Wang Xiaoming, a middle-aged man with a resolute appearance and a dignified demeanor stepped forward and offered a blatant reminder.
As this person stepped forward, the apprentice ghost within Link seemed to be affected and turned over.
"This person is a ghost tamer, and he is extremely terrifying. There are two other ghost tamers hiding behind him."
Yang Jian also stepped forward and whispered a reminder.
Link was surprised by Wang Xiaoming's wariness and scoffed, "Bringing so many Ghost Tamers along to discuss a business deal, isn't that inappropriate?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Link guessed the middle-aged man's identity.
Will-o'-the-Wisp - Li Jun, a military officer with the rank of general, possesses excellent strategic skills and is the captain of a special operations brigade. He is currently responsible for Wang Xiaoming's security work.
Because of Wang Xiaoming's outstanding research abilities, Li Jun regarded him as the hope for ending the supernatural.
Wang Xiaoming remained unfazed and casually waved his hand, saying, "It's alright. Before the supernatural era ends, I won't deliberately provoke Link into taking action because of personal grudges. I'm sure a smart man like him wouldn't do that either."
Link extended his right hand, gloved with gold, and casually shook hands. His voice was icy as he said, "That's not necessarily true. I'm a petty person, and I'll definitely take revenge for any wrong I have. There were strong calls at headquarters to dismiss me before. I'll definitely visit them one by one when I have time to see how much money they received from Fang Shiming."
"Link, don't be so arrogant. Dajing City is not a place where you can run wild."
Li Jun couldn't help but speak up again.
Link sneered, "I have the right to be arrogant. Li Jun, if all you can do is talk tough, then you might as well stay and be my bodyguard."
"you……!"
A cluster of emerald green flames flickered violently in Li Jun's eyes, and his entire aura turned cold; clearly, he was not in a good mood.
He despises those who abuse their supernatural abilities and act recklessly. Link's current behavior makes him instinctively want to eliminate the threat.
"By the way, I heard that Ye Zhen from Dahai City wants to hold some kind of Mount Hua Sword Tournament in Dajing City, gathering a large group of ghost riders to fight. I hope you can do the same thing you are now and say some tough words to him."
Link casually brought this up, just to annoy Ye Zhen a little and prevent this chuunibyou from bothering him.
"Dajing City has its own defense forces, Ye Zhen can't cause any trouble."
Li Jun's expression was uncertain; if it weren't for Wang Xiaoming, he would have already attacked Link.
"Link, is this the second ghost you've controlled? It's the Summoner Ghost, right? You've controlled it perfectly. I can feel it; it seems quite calm now."
Wang Xiaoming stared at the withered skin at the end of the golden glove, his eyes looking as if he were examining a fine work of art.
He then looked at Yang Jian and Zhang Han, as if trying to discern the second ghost they were controlling from their appearances.
Wang Xiaoming's eyes were filled with fervor: "As expected of a precognitive ghost tamer, he was able to find such a perfect puzzle piece for his teammates."
Link stepped forward, blocking Wang Xiaoming's view: "This is outside the scope of business. Tell me, how much do you want for the Ghost Coffin?"
Wang Xiaoming's gaze shifted to the coffin that was giving birth to the ghost messenger:
"I only want the ghost coffin; name your price."
"Open it however you like? Then I want three red and three white ghost candles, three substitute dolls, and one supernatural item, a music box."
Wang Xiaoming's face stiffened, and he sighed, "I can give you my Ghost Candle, one red and three white. The number of the substitute dolls is small and they haven't been put into use yet. I can only give you one after the research is completed. You can take the cursed music box. Any more than that wouldn't be worth the headquarters' investment."
Link disagreed. He pounded on the ghost coffin and explained, "This ghost is codenamed Ghost Messenger. Every time it captures a vengeful ghost, it adds a slot for suppressing vengeful ghosts. It combines unsolvable suppression, unsolvable restart, and a large-scale ghost domain. It's practically born to end the supernatural era."
With your intelligence and the resources of headquarters, it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to successfully control it. If successful, no demon tamer in the world would dare to defy headquarters, including myself.
He silently added in his mind, "I wonder if the ghost I ate a bite of will still be as terrifying as in the original story."
Anyway, Link isn't some piece of paper that can't lie; he can just keep exaggerating.
