The Mysterious Resurrection of the Past of the Republic of China

Chapter 2 A costly wish

After a brief coma, Zhang Dong's consciousness quickly recovered, and he soon felt a strong light piercing his eyelids.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of a village, with a muddy dirt road under his feet and uneven houses next to him. The walls of the houses were also made of loess, giving him a sense of vicissitudes of life.

The village was a bit deserted, with no one on the street. There were only a few occasional calls of poultry, which seemed very miserable in the silent village.

"Have you come to the Republic of China?"

Zhang Dong took a deep breath and moved his eyes slightly. He did not rush to check the situation around him, but immediately felt the supernatural power in his body.

The old man just said that he would inherit his ability, which made Zhang Dong very curious. What kind of ghost did the old man control to be so powerful that Yang Jian, the protagonist of the original work, could only surpass him at the end.

Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in a world of mysterious resurrection. You must become a ghost controller to gain the capital to fight against evil ghosts, but this is not enough to live stably. Ghost controllers are short-lived ghosts, and you must Find a way to make the ghosts in your body die or become aliens.

Therefore, you must first master the ability to save your life.

But after trying it, Zhang Dong didn't find anything unusual about himself. He was almost like an ordinary person, and there was no feeling of the presence of a ghost in his body.

Could it be that the gold finger hasn’t arrived yet?

Or does it need some kind of opportunity to trigger it?

He frowned and thought secretly.

Suddenly, three figures appeared at the end of the street in the peripheral vision. They seemed to have discovered Zhang Dong and were walking quickly towards here.

Zhang Dong's expression changed, he retracted his thoughts, and decided to take care of the present first and put aside the matter of supernatural powers before considering it again.

Soon, the figures of the three people got closer and closer, and Zhang Dong could see their faces clearly.

They were composed of one woman and two men. Their clothes were relatively retro and in line with the style of the Republic of China. From a distance, they looked normal.

But after getting closer, Zhang Dong was shocked by the faces of the three people.

The man on the left has dark skin, a stern face, and dull eyes, staring straight ahead, like an innocent soul seeking his life.

The man on the right looks slightly normal, but he looks uneasy, as if he is frightened, and keeps looking around.

The strangest thing is the woman in the middle. Her face is pale, her eyes are dim, and her cheeks are concave and look very haggard, like a corpse that has been dead for a long time.

Obviously, except for the panicked man, the other two were ghost masters.

Zhang Dong quickly determined the identities of several people.

At this time, the three of them had come to him. The leading woman looked him up and down, with a cold look in her eyes, and said in a serious tone:
"I am the person in charge of handling supernatural events, and I am dealing with a ghost in this village. You have two choices, either find a place to hide, so that you are not easily targeted by the ghost, but once its killing pattern is triggered, you There is no possibility of survival. Either follow us, but you will encounter danger at any time. The advantage is that if you encounter a ghost, you will not have no room to fight back, and we can try to protect your safety."

Zhang Dong replied without hesitation: "I will follow you."

He directly chose to follow a few people to deal with supernatural incidents, because some ghosts kill people indiscriminately and can easily die suddenly before their abilities are developed. It is better to follow them and learn what kind of ghost is hidden in this village. ghost.

As a fan of the original book, he naturally has a deep understanding of many ghosts. Although it is decades earlier than the original work, he can still more or less guess some information.

Zhang Dong's decisive addition made the woman's expression change. She turned her head slightly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

This person didn't react much when he heard the ghost? ?

Still acting so calm.

But after thinking for a few seconds, she didn't seem to take it to heart, and instead signaled Zhang Dong to follow the team.

On the way, Zhang Dong observed two ghost masters, a man and a woman. From them, he felt the aura of the dead and the coldness that was constantly emanating from them. It was obvious that these two people were very seriously corroded by the evil ghost. They were far away from the evil ghost. The recovery may not take long.

The other man among the three looks very normal. He is also more gorgeously dressed, with gold and silver jewelry hanging all over his body. He looks like a wealthy man.

From the uneasy look on his face, Zhang Dong judged that this person should be the only person alive in this village.

"When did the abnormality start to appear in the village?"

At this time, the woman turned to look at the only surviving man and asked.

"About three days ago, Lao Zhao from the south of the village went to the market with his wife. When they returned home, they found that the old man at home died suddenly."

"The couple arranged a funeral for the old man, and we all went to attend it. Before the old man could be buried, Lao Zhao suddenly died. His death was very strange. One second he was talking to us, and the next second he couldn't breathe. He seemed to be out of breath and fell to the ground, which shocked us." "After that, Lao Zhao and his wife also died in a short period of time, followed closely by his neighbor's house, and then slowly spread to the entire village. The gentleman in the village thought it was an infectious disease at first, but later he didn't find out the cause, so we hurriedly buried the body."

The man said excitedly, his tone very urgent.

The woman asked, "Did they do anything strange before they died?"

The man paused, as if remembering something, and suddenly said: "Every time before someone dies, all kinds of property, food, poultry, etc. will appear inexplicably in their homes, and some people's houses even become particularly gorgeous overnight. "

"Did a large amount of property suddenly appear in your home?"

The man was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The male ghost controller who had been silent now said: "It's a bit like exchanging one's life for something outside one's body. This deal is suitable for the ghost, but it is very painful for people."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

The people in the village unknowingly made a deal with the ghost, exchanging the lives of their loved ones for money, resulting in a series of deaths in the village, and eventually it became a ghost village.

Just listening to it makes me feel horrified.

Hearing this, Zhang Dong frowned deeply, thinking of a ghost in the mysterious resurgence.

That is a fierce ghost that can only fulfill the host's wishes. Any wish can be realized, but the price is very heavy.

Whenever the host makes a wish, it will take away the life of one of his relatives. If there are no relatives, the person with the closest relationship will be chosen.

In the original work, the person who controlled this ghost was a sworn enemy of Yang Jian in the early stage, named Zhao Kaiming, but later he died and raised a starving ghost, which led to the subsequent starving ghost massacre incident.

And the back of the wish ghost was made into a gun handle by Yang Jian. Why is it here now?

He pondered for a moment and said: "This village was supposed to be very poor, so most of the villagers' wishes were for money and food. Now that ghost has helped them realize it, so it is better to call that ghost the wish ghost."

The woman nodded thoughtfully: "The wish ghost fits its characteristics quite well, but the current information is not enough. We can't find it at the moment, let alone know its killing patterns."

She glanced around the desolate village and her expression became more solemn.

Zhang Dong did not respond, but turned his gaze to the panicked man. The latter noticed this gaze and showed a timid look.

The wish ghost will kill all the host's relatives and friends, then kill the host, and then parasitize the next person. Zhang Dong is very clear about this.

Therefore, if this man is the only one left in this village, the wish ghost must be parasitic on him.

Zhang Dong thought quickly and came to a conclusion quickly.

But he cannot expose this person, because the wish ghost has intelligence and is likely to actively control the host to kill after being discovered.Moreover, its level of terror is very high, and the two ghost masters around it are probably no match for it.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Zhang Dong pretended not to know and followed the team.

After walking around the village for a while, the woman suddenly stopped in front of a magnificent building and raised her right hand to stop everyone.

She frowned, as if she suddenly remembered something. She looked at the uneasy man and asked, "You just said that people died one after another in the village. What about their corpses? We have walked so far and haven't found a single corpse."

The man was suddenly startled, and said in a stuttering tone: "I and I were buried by them. After all, the dead are the most important, and it is best to be buried as soon as possible."

His words were particularly lacking in confidence.

"Seriously? You buried all those corpses?"

"Of course."

"Then where did you bury them?"

As soon as the woman said this, the man hesitated, then raised his hand and said in a certain direction: "It's right there, on the south side of the village."

At this time, the silent male ghost controller said jokingly: "Are you sure? That's the north."

"Ah? Beibei side?"
