The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

"So Beidou has planned to confront the supernatural organizations of various countries and concentrate its efforts on maintaining the stability of reality."

"It is only a matter of time before we put aside our past grudges and cooperate with each other. There is no harm in you joining Beidou in advance."

Hearing these words from the prophet, Hu Jiu thought: "Since you said so, I will discuss it with the headquarters and give you a reply in the short term."

"Okay, you should be more cautious."

While speaking, the prophet handed over something.

"This is for you."

Hu Jiu was stunned and took the envelope from the prophet.

It was a white letter, which looked ordinary, but felt cold and slippery, very strange.

The prophet said: "This is a letter of recommendation. If you have made up your mind, just open it. This letter will guide you to Beidou's base."

"I suggest you make a decision as soon as possible. If you can participate in the year-end assessment and impress everyone with your strength, it will be more beneficial to your future."

Hu Jiu asked back: "Without a letter of recommendation, can't you join Beidou?"

The prophet shook his head: "You can still join, but with my letter of recommendation, you can avoid some tedious procedures, and maybe you can get a lot of good evaluations."

After talking about what he should say, the prophet stood up and planned to say goodbye.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Hu Jiu didn't try to keep him at all.

The prophet didn't care, pushed the door and disappeared.

Hu Jiu held the letter of recommendation and read it over and over again.

The prophet saw his potential and talent, so he gave him such a letter. Not every ghost rider can get a special invitation from Beidou.

But... once you use this letter, you will probably be labeled as a prophet, right?

Hu Jiu said that he would discuss with the headquarters and then consider whether to join Beidou. This was not an excuse.

He immediately returned to the headquarters to find Fu Youhua.

But before he met Fu Youhua, someone stopped him.

"Hello, Mr. Hu, I am Zhang Si, the ghost rider of the headquarters. Excuse me, I saw your post on the forum before, so I want to make a deal with you."

Zhang Si was very polite and respectful, but he had to say these words in public. Many people nearby had heard it. They pretended not to know, but in fact they were watching quietly.

Hu Jiu smiled kindly and agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Si showed joy on his face and immediately made a new request: "Can I see what your supernatural item is?"

"Of course." Hu Jiu said straightforwardly.

So Zhang Si was very happy and seemed to book a hotel room casually and invited Hu Jiu to go with him.

The two of them left the headquarters in a harmonious and friendly manner. This scene happened to fall into Fu Youhua's eyes, and a trace of sympathy flashed across his face: "Another unlucky guy..."

When they arrived at the private room, Hu Jiu completely ignored the pairs of peeping eyes, and without any nonsense, he took out the monkey's paw directly.

"It can fulfill all people's wishes."

Zhang Si's breathing suddenly became a little faster, but he soon calmed down, "Is it really that magical?"

Hu Jiu looked confident: "The rule of the monkey's paw is that it must fulfill the wishes of the wisher."

"No side effects?" Zhang Si still hesitated a little.

Hu Jiu said: "I can't say that. After all, it is a supernatural item. I have only used it a few times in total, and I use it cautiously at critical moments every time."

"If the wish you make is too big and exceeds the ability of the monkey's paw, who knows how it will be fulfilled?"

This statement undoubtedly adds a little credibility.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Si said firmly: "I want to use it!"

"The evil spirit in my body is on the verge of losing control. I want to make a wish that the evil spirit I control will never revive!"

Hu Jiu stretched out his hand: "Give me 20 ghosts as transaction fees. No bargaining is accepted. Thank you."

Zhang Si was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, "You really know how to ask for a sky-high price! This is ten times more expensive than the price list you posted on the post! I advise you not to be too outrageous."

Hu Jiu rolled his eyes: "It's not my offer that is outrageous, it's your request that is outrageous."

Zhang Si was not convinced: "Where am I outrageous?!"

Hu Jiu sneered: "Where are you not outrageous? If it is just to delay the revival of the evil spirit, it will definitely not be so expensive, but you ask for 'the evil spirit you control will never revive', which is too fantastic."

"What if you are strongly stimulated? What if you have an accident and are about to die? What if you control ten or eight ghosts in the future?"

"There are countless situations that may lead to the resurrection of evil spirits. Use the monkey's claw to block every path of resurrection. Don't you realize how outrageous this request is?"

"Such an overly extreme wish is likely to cause unpredictable consequences. I have to take huge risks. I think it's not enough to collect 20 ghosts from you."

Zhang Si was stunned by this remark. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then I should add some qualifiers, right?"

Hu Jiu did not agree or refute, but only said: "I can't make any guarantees. I can only suggest that you try to make a simpler wish."

"Adding qualifiers will also increase the difficulty. If you have self-knowledge, you should understand that the more restrictions, the more difficult and complicated it is, and the more difficult it is to achieve. High-difficulty things are often more prone to errors."

"If you wish for only a cup of hot water, the monkey's claw will most likely give you a cup of ordinary hot water without any negative effects."

Zhang Si was silent for a long time, and said: "I can only afford two evil spirits. Let's do this. At the cost of these two ghosts, try to delay the resuscitation and prolong my life."

Hu Jiu took the two ghosts he offered with a smile, and then opened the golden container containing the monkey's paw: "Your wish will definitely come true."

A puff of black smoke came out of the monkey's paw and wrapped around Zhang Si.

At first Zhang Si was a little nervous, but soon he felt that the evil spirit in his body was no longer restless, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed!

An inexplicable numbness started from his toes and gradually climbed up. His flesh and blood lost temperature and became stiff and heavy, as if solidified into a solid. The veins under the skin of his hands gradually appeared, like cracks in a dry riverbed, revealing a terrifying horror.

His body is petrifying.

"What's going on!" Zhang Si screamed in horror.

Hu Jiu seemed to have anticipated such a scene, and compassionately handed over a cup of hot water: "As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. Are you hungry? I..."

"Tell me what the hell is going on!" Zhang Si screamed wildly, interrupting Hu Jiu's nonsense.

"Try to postpone the resuscitation and prolong your life!" Hu Jiu's face was full of smiles.

"The monkey's claw seems to have turned you into a living stone statue. As long as the stone statue is not damaged, the evil spirit will not be revived, and you will live forever. I guess... you can live another 100 years without any problem!"
