The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage

"Have you heard of the ghost world?" The prophet asked at that time.

"Ghost world?" Hu Jiu lowered his eyes. This term was the first time he encountered it.

"Yes, it is the ghost world. It can also be called the devil world, hell, the underworld, the other side, the other world, but I am still used to calling it the ghost world." The prophet was calm.

Hu Jiu asked: "Where is the ghost world? What is its relationship with the origin of the supernatural?"

The prophet replied: "The essence of the ghost world is a super-giant ghost domain. It overlaps with the real world, but there is a barrier between the two."

"There are quite a lot of evil spirits wandering in the ghost world. Living people have a certain attraction to evil spirits. When the barrier of the real world is weak, the evil spirits will instinctively invade the reality through these loopholes. Perhaps only the incomplete parts can enter the real world, but it is enough to cause a supernatural disaster."

Hu Jiu looked surprised: "So... this is the real origin of the supernatural?"

The prophet shook his head: "I can only say that many evil spirits in the real world come from the ghost world."

"But whether the ghost world is the real origin of the supernatural remains to be verified. Without clear evidence to support it, a hypothesis is just a hypothesis. . "

"However, the hypothesis that 'the ghost world is the origin of the supernatural' is more reliable than other hypotheses."

Hu Jiu asked again: "What is the ghost world like?"

The prophet said: "It is vast, and no boundaries have been found so far. It is so large that it is beyond human cognition."

"All the rules of the real world can be established or not in the ghost world."

Hu Jiu lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, "Where did you get all this information from?"

The prophet blurted out: "It is Beidou!"

"This organization has a long history. The original purpose was to eliminate the supernatural and maintain the common sense order of human society."

"Since ancient times, the ghost world has never stopped invading the real world, and Beidou, who claims to be the guardian, has been using the supernatural to fight the supernatural and guard the loopholes in the real barrier."

"Wait!" Hu Jiu suddenly interrupted him.

"You said 'since ancient times', did the evil ghosts already exist in ancient times?"

"Yes." The prophet gave an affirmative answer.

"Some widely circulated folk legends, some exaggerated mysterious phenomena recorded in historical materials, and some strange people with special abilities rumored in unofficial history are likely to be related to evil spirits."

"Even the word 'evil spirit' itself was born because of this!"

Hearing this, Hu Jiu was confused: "Since evil spirits have always existed since ancient times, what is the modern revival of the supernatural? Before the revival of the supernatural, the country seemed to have no idea that there were evil spirits in the world."

The prophet sighed: "This matter is quite complicated to explain."

"First of all, do you know why the existence of the supernatural and evil spirits is concealed from the people?"

Hu Jiu said bluntly : "People's pursuit of this kind of extraordinary power will seriously undermine the existing stable social order."

The prophet nodded: "What you said is only one reason. More importantly, the fear and cognition of a large number of people towards evil spirits can easily attract some extremely tricky and difficult cognitive idealistic evil spirits."

"In the past, when the Internet was not well developed and there were no surveillance and cameras, even if someone claimed that they had encountered a ghost, it would be difficult to spread it, and it would probably only be regarded as a strange story."

"Beidou, as the most powerful secret organization, has always been restraining ghost riders and concealing the existence of evil spirits from ordinary people."

"But..." The prophet suddenly changed his tone.

"Absolute power will lead to absolute abuse of power, which will in turn breed absolute corruption, and Beidou is no exception!"

"In recent years, the barrier between the ghost world and the real world has become increasingly weak, with more and more loopholes. Beidou's power is limited, and it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."

"And there are huge ideological differences within Beidou. The leader of Beidou, who dominated an era, is in an abnormal state and has disappeared. The seven stars below are ready to move, each with their own ambitions."

"Some people are too seriously eroded by the supernatural to continue to serve as guardians. Instead, they will hurt people everywhere like real evil spirits; some people rely on their own strength and do not want to protect others. They just want to live freely and unrestrainedly; and some people want to be kings and dominate in the real world."

"Without the suppression of the leader, various foreign supernatural organizations have also lost their shackles."

"When the national forces obtained the intelligence of the evil spirits and tried to study them, the situation began to get out of control."

"In the real world, there are some supernatural places that are artificially created to imprison evil spirits by using the law of mutual restraint and conflict between evil spirits. The government was overconfident and rashly explored and mined them, and brought out some things, so that the rules of the supernatural places gradually collapsed and the evil spirits were released."

"The weakening of the reality barrier, the internal divisions of the guardians, and the indiscriminate development of the supernatural places by various countries have jointly led to the current revival of the supernatural."

The amount of information was too much, and Hu Jiu was silent.

The prophet continued to say:

"In fact, including the headquarters, the supernatural organizations of various countries, their essential purpose is not to expel and eliminate the supernatural and let the world return to "normal" again."

"They want to control this power!"

"I understand this." Hu Jiu showed a clear look on his face.

Just like nuclear weapons, although nuclear testing is completely banned, major powers openly possess this thing as a deterrent, and some countries are also quietly developing it in secret.

The magical power of the supernatural is more powerful than nuclear weapons. Which country will give it up easily?

Once the supernatural appears, in order to maintain the leading position and not fall behind others, whether actively or passively, you have to study it and control it desperately.

Even if the world loses 90% of its population, if the remaining 10% can thoroughly analyze and control the supernatural, it will be enough to lead the human race to take off directly and enter a new era.

Just like the application of electricity by humans in the past.

"Okay, I have said everything I should say. In addition to the transaction, I also want to invite you to join Beidou." The prophet looked sincere.

Hu Jiu asked: "Tianji was killed by me, does this have no effect?"

The prophet said: "He originally planned to leave and betray Beidou, and he had several conflicts with other stars. He is not in good condition, otherwise it would not be so easy for you to kill him."

"With the value you have shown, after you join Beidou, no one will bother you for a dead person."

Hu Jiu evaded: "Let me think about it again."

"No problem." The prophet shrugged his shoulders.

"Beidou has been training employees by raising Gu, but unfortunately the Gu raised is not as good as you, a wild guy."

"But I still suggest that you join us. If you enter the ghost world in the future, it is easy to get lost in it if you explore on your own. You should know that the ghost world may be connected to more than one reality..."

Hu Jiu: "??? What do you mean by more than one reality?"

The prophet frowned: "I don't know whether it is true or not. I heard from the old seniors in Beidou that they once met some strange people in the depths of the ghost world."

"They are all yellow-skinned and black-haired, speaking the same language and writing the same characters, but some of them claim to be from the Red Country, some claim to be from the Chinese Country, and some say they are from the Xia Country and the Dragon Country..."
