Mysterious Resurrection: Becoming a God Starting from a Ghost Post Office

"This price isn't enough. It should be at least two dollars. After all, this thing is a consumable, and the conditions for using it are too strict. It's not an easy thing to lure a vengeful ghost to a specific room," Sun Rui said.

He was actually quite satisfied with this thing; even if it wasn't used to imprison vengeful ghosts, it would be quite good as a temporary safe house.

Moreover, this thing is somewhat similar to a supernatural item in his memory. That thing was also a doorplate. Once it was hung up, no outsider could take it down, and the people or ghosts inside the room would never be able to get out.

I don't know if there's any connection between the two.

"That's impossible. We don't have many of these either," Wang Jingshan said.

"So you mean we can't reach an agreement?" Sun Rui waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingshan sensed something was wrong. Sun Rui was completely unpredictable; what gave him the confidence to do this?

The two groups remained deadlocked.

Just then, Shen Liang's phone rang.

It was a call from Vice Minister Cao Yanhua.

Shen Liang walked to the side and answered the phone.

"Shen Liang, what's the situation? Why is the Ping An Hotel still under lockdown?"

"Their deal fell through, and people might die."

The sound of someone slamming their hand on the table could be clearly heard from the other end of the phone.

"No matter what, Sun Rui cannot get into trouble. As for the other costs, headquarters can give him a portion, but of course, they can't ask for an exorbitant amount."

Cao Yanhua naturally knew that the so-called dead people must refer to the deaths of those who controlled ghosts.

"Minister Cao, I understand," Shen Liang replied.

It seems that headquarters is going to side with Sun Rui, and they're going to suppress other forces besides headquarters.

After all, in the previous starving ghost incident, these so-called supernatural organizations all shirked their responsibilities and refused to provide support. Now, Cao Yanhua can take this opportunity to suppress them.

However, it cannot go too far, because directly having the person in charge kill someone would create a deadly feud.

If Sun Rui knew Cao Yanhua's thoughts, he would just want to laugh. The headquarters was too timid and hesitant in its operations. If it were him, he would directly take down a paranormal organization to test the waters first. In the paranormal circle, it's always a case of whoever has the bigger fist.

This is the difference between ordinary people and ghost tamers; people at different levels see different things.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang walked up to Sun Rui.

"The deputy minister said that headquarters can meet your conditions, provided that Ma Yufei doesn't die," Shen Liang said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Rui knew that headquarters was about to try to smooth things over again; this was their usual tactic whenever there was such a conflict.

"Alright, since headquarters has said so, I have to give them face," Sun Rui said.

Soon, Ma Yufei, whose eyes had been filled with confusion, regained his clarity.

However, he still didn't understand what had happened.

Just now, he was almost killed by a vengeful ghost.

Moreover, having repeatedly used supernatural powers, he is about to face the resurrection of vengeful ghosts.

He could sense that Sun Rui truly wanted to kill him.

"Alright, I've released the person. Bring the things here." Sun Rui gestured for Sun Yan to come forward and bring the box over.

Wang Jingshan didn't renege on his promise and handed over the items directly.

Ma Yufei then realized that his life had been used as a bargaining chip.

"Alright, now it's time to talk about the compensation that headquarters owes me. Have Wang Xiaoming come see me," Sun Rui said to Shen Liang.

"Professor Wang's experiment has reached a critical point, and he cannot leave the laboratory for the time being. I have already brought the previous payment with me." Shen Liang had already anticipated this step.

The staff behind me brought in a box.

Upon opening, two red ghost candles were neatly arranged inside, their color resembling fresh blood.

"Okay, that's fine. I hate people who try to renege on their debts." Sun Rui looked at the two ghost candles without any expression.

The matter came quickly and ended quickly; Wang Jingshan swiftly left with Ma Yufei.

As for Ma Yufei, Sun Rui had no intention of letting him go. He had inhaled so much ghostly haze that Sun Rui could kill him at any time; it was just a matter of whether Ma Yufei wanted to or not.

"As for the other things, I'll send you a list of paranormal items in a bit, and you can choose one from it," Shen Liang said.

Sun Rui nodded in agreement.

After leaving the box behind, Shen Liang also left.

"Aren't you afraid of headquarters if you do this?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Aren't you afraid either?" Sun Rui asked instead of answering.

"Hehe, it seems you've realized this too. Supernatural events are not something ordinary people can get involved in. Only people like us are the ones who can shape the future. You must have been invited to the captains' meeting. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining us?" Zhong Shan said with a smile.

"What are the benefits of joining you?" Sun Rui asked.

"There are benefits, of course. For example, there are recent captain positions. Do you think you can definitely secure one?" Zhong Shan said.

Before Sun Rui could answer, he continued, "You need to understand one thing: no one wants to see someone rise to power without any ties, especially someone like you. Once you grow up, you will be a very unstable factor."

"You mean they'll make their move before I become captain?" Sun Rui pretended not to understand.

"Of course, that's highly likely, but if you have a Ghost Tamer organization behind you, anyone who wants to mess with you will have to think twice about whether they can bear the consequences. Just like what happened to you, if it were someone without a background, do you think they could have survived?" Zhong Shan said.

"I understand. You're trying to get something for nothing by using me to secure a team captain position," Sun Rui said.

"That's not how it works. We can transfer the credit for handling paranormal events to you, as long as you get the captain's position. I can't make you hand it over, so it's a win-win situation. And if anyone tries to harm you, we'll help you too," Zhong Shan said.

Sun Rui shook his head.

Seeing that Sun Rui had no idea, he could only say, "You don't need to rush to make a decision. I'll wait for your reply before the meeting starts."

Originally, he wanted to win over Yang Jian, but Yang Jian's attitude was clearly that he wanted to stick to his own little territory.

"We'll see, but at least let me see your sincerity," Sun Rui said.

He didn't make any absolute statements, but if he were to join, it would definitely have to be under his leadership, and Zhong Shan would most likely not allow him to reap the benefits.

He stopped chatting and successfully checked into his room.

He and Lin Zhensheng and a few others lived on the same floor.

However, as soon as he checked in, there was a knock on his door.

The person who came was Yang Jian.

"I heard you just got into another fight?" Yang Jian said.

"I was just teaching those blind ghost tamers a lesson. If you have anything to say, you can come in and we can talk," Sun Rui said.

He could sense that Yang Jian's physical condition was not good, after all, his resurrection was incomplete.

"No need, I just came over for a visit. You don't seem to be in very good condition either. It seems that all ghost tamers have some problems to some extent," Yang Jian said.

"That's inevitable. Anyone who deals with paranormal events will eventually experience that one day," Sun Rui said.

Just then, Yang Jian suddenly activated the Ghost Domain.

"Something's really wrong in Dajing City. You must have noticed it too, right?" Yang Jian said directly.

"I noticed it as soon as I arrived here, but it seems that none of the many people at headquarters have noticed the problem. Or have they noticed it but just can't solve it?" Sun Rui asked.

"I don't know. This is not a good sign. I can always smell a faint scent, but it's very unclear. Many times, I suspect it's just a hallucination." Yang Jian came to see Sun Rui just to verify his opinion.
