Chapter 174: Ghost Candle and Mission

The Ghost Road disappeared without any sign just after Wang Xiaoming and the others came out.

At the same time, the rescue workers sent from the headquarters also saw Wang Xiaoming and his team and quickly surrounded them.

"Professor Wang is out!"

"Professor, are you okay?"

Greetings kept coming at Wang Xiaoming like machine guns, and the crowd surrounded Wang Xiaoming like a mudslide, making Wang Xiaoming frown. After simply dealing with everyone, he released the survivors in the Ghost Road and asked the people at the headquarters to make arrangements.

He then called Zhao Jianguo and briefly explained the situation on Menggui Road and how he rescued Ye Zhen on Menggui Road.

Wang Xiaoming hid nothing and told everything in a straightforward manner.

Zhao Jianguo on the other end of the phone was shocked after listening to it, because from the narration, Zhao Jianguo discovered that Wang Xiaoming's strength was far beyond his imagination.

Compared with the strength that Professor Wang revealed in the Ghost Road, Ye Zhen’s rescue was not worth mentioning at all.

Previously, the headquarters speculated that Wang Xiaoming should be very strong based on the fact that he could easily forge a supernatural weapon, but they still had no idea how strong he was exactly. Now, after the Ghost Road incident, Zhao Jianguo had a better idea in his mind.

His strength is comparable to that of a top ghost rider like Ye Zhen!
What is this concept?
You should know that there are only a handful of ghost riders of this level in the whole country. They are second only to Old Qin in level. They can handle A-level supernatural events alone and are extremely powerful ghost riders in the world.

"It seems that Professor Wang's evaluation needs to be significantly revised. I wonder what others will think when they find out?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but sneer.

At the scene of the Ghost Road, Wang Xiaoming hung up the phone and was about to leave when he was stopped by Ye Zhen: "Professor Wang, you haven't told me when I can forge my supernatural weapon?"

"Three days," Wang Xiaoming thought for a moment and said, "You have many requirements. It will take some time to find the corresponding evil spirits."

Ye Zhen was overjoyed and said quickly: "Okay, then I will wait for you in Dajing City for three days. Then I can fight with Fang Shiming again to see who is the most powerful!"

On the way back to the headquarters, Li Jun asked curiously, "Professor, are you really going to forge a supernatural weapon for Ye Zhen?"

Wang Xiaoming sat in the back seat, closed his eyes and said calmly: "Yes! The evil spirit in Ye Zhen is very special. I am quite interested in it. This time, forging a supernatural weapon is just like making a deal with him."

"So what kind of supernatural weapon does he want? There are so many supernatural weapons in the headquarters, but none of them suits his taste?" Li Jun continued.

Wang Xiaoming opened his eyes and looked at Li Jun, and said, "He has too many requirements. He wants a supernatural weapon that looks like a long sword, and has the power of a coffin nail and a dead man's banner. It would be best if it also has the ability to cut through evil spirits and break evil spirit puzzles."

Li Jun subconsciously clenched the Death Banner in his arms.
It’s bad! Ye Zhen has taken a fancy to me!
In the Ghost Road Wax Museum, he used the Death Banner many times to suppress evil spirits. It should be at that time that he was targeted by Ye Zhen.

"Don't worry, since I've given you the Death Banner, it's yours. I'll find another similar one for him to forge with evil spirits." Wang Xiaoming said directly.

Li Jun smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and stopped talking.

It’s not that he is unwilling to contribute the Death Man’s Banner, but he is really used to it and doesn’t want to change it.

As soon as Wang Xiaoming got out of the car, Cao Yanhua pulled him into the office and asked him about his well-being. Even though he knew that Wang Xiaoming's strength had reached that of a top ghost rider, Cao Yanhua remained the same. It was not until Wang Xiaoming said that he was tired and wanted to rest that Cao Yanhua let Wang Xiaoming leave.

Wang Xiaoming understood everything about Cao Yanhua's actions. On the one hand, he was too important and the headquarters did not want to take any risks. On the other hand, there were five departments above the headquarters. No matter how confident Cao Yanhua was, he had to show a corresponding attitude. Otherwise, how would the people above him view him?

Sitting in the headquarters' vehicle, Wang Xiaoming used his mind to sense the wax figure of the evil spirit imprisoned in the wilderness of knowledge. At this time, the evil spirit had changed its appearance, from a human-shaped wax figure into a box of wax oil.

This is the true appearance of the wax figure of an evil ghost. The original human form should be a ghost rider who failed to control the evil ghost.

The reason why Wang Xiaoming knew there was a wax museum on Menggui Road was because when he was checking the information about Menggui Road, he saw the video record of Zhao Kaiming, the person in charge of Dahai City, from which he saw the wax museum.

When he saw the name of the wax museum, the first thing he thought of was ghost candles, especially the red and white lanterns at the door, which gave him a sense of déjà vu.

In the original novel, the ghost candle is an important prop throughout the entire novel. In the later part of the novel, it is almost an essential supernatural item for ghost riders to deal with supernatural events.

So during the period after awakening his wisdom, Wang Xiaoming has been looking for evil spirits that can make ghost candles, hoping to make the ghost candles in advance.

Unfortunately, he didn't find it. He searched through all the evil spirits imprisoned in the headquarters, but did not find any evil spirit related to the ghost candle.

It was not until one day when he saw the video of Zhao Kaiming in the Haunted Road that he discovered the wax museum, the evil ghost most likely related to the ghost candle.

He was originally planning to offer a reward to attract ghost handlers to help him bring out the evil ghosts in the wax museum. Unexpectedly, he was lucky and happened to come across the Fierce Ghost Road. So he took action himself and had enough food and clothing.

This can also be considered an alternative conclusion of the world line, and Guizhu will eventually be born in his hands.

After returning to his residence, he opened the magic room on the second floor. Although it was not big, it had all the commonly used experimental equipment. Wang Xiaoming was too lazy to go to the laboratory.

The wax figure... the wax ghost was taken out from the wilderness of knowledge. It was a silver iron box only the size of a palm. There were many black rust on the surface of the iron box, which looked very shabby.

As soon as you open the lid, you can smell a faint stench of corpse, which makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if you throw it on the ground, no one will pick it up.

The box was filled with brown solid wax oil, which was very turbid in color. From time to time, black stains flashed in the wax oil, as if there were living things inside.

With a gleam in his eyes, Wang Xiaoming used his identification ability to conduct a detailed identification of the wax ghost.

The yellow wax of the wax ghost has a strong assimilation ability and can assimilate other substances into wax. If it is a human being, it will be assimilated into a ghost slave.

By burning yellow wax, the wax ghost can also use the ability to attract or ward off ghosts.

"These two abilities should be the prototype of Ghost Candle." Wang Xiaoming's eyes lit up.

In the original book, there are two types of ghost candles, white and red. Their functions are to attract evil spirits and resist the attacks of evil spirits, which are exactly the same as the abilities of wax evil spirits.

"But why are there two kinds of candles, red and white, in the final product? There is no yellow candle?" Recalling the novels he had read in his previous life, Wang Xiaoming had a rough guess in his mind.

It is very likely that this is because yellow wax oil has a strong assimilability, is difficult to carry, and is inconvenient to use. After lighting a yellow candle, it is impossible to confirm what effect it has.

The finished yellow candles may randomly have the ability to attract ghosts or ward off ghosts, which is a major disaster when dealing with supernatural events.

If you were originally trying to escape and lighting candles to ward off attacks from evil spirits, but ended up summoning a ghost, wouldn't your entire army be wiped out?

"So, next I just need to study how to separate the yellow wax oil into red and white wax oil." Wang Xiaoming's thoughts raced.

If you want to make red and white ghost candles, you need to work hard on the yellow wax oil, which should be the most important step in making ghost candles.

Thinking of this, he picked up the iron box of wax oil and simply tried the ability of the wax oil ghost. Although he did not have a resurrected ghost as an opponent, he could still measure its approximate ability using some supernatural weapons stored in the Wilderness of Knowledge.

It only took him a few minutes to complete the test.

"Not bad!" Looking at the wax ghost in his hand, Wang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction. During the test, he found that its ability was very strong whether it was to attract ghosts or to block ghosts. The side effect was that he would be turned into wax by the wax ghost.

However, it was not obvious on Wang Xiaoming, because as a Sequence Six craftsman, he had a strong resistance to the side effects of supernatural weapons, and this waxing was directly offset by his own resistance.

After fully understanding the abilities of the wax ghost, he came to the table where the microscope was placed.

First put the wax ghost aside, Wang Xiaoming picked up a pair of golden tweezers, carefully picked out some wax, and placed it on a clear transparent glass slide.

He planned to make it into a glass slide specimen and try to observe the mysterious runes in it, but when the wax and the glass slide touched, the original glass slide was instantly waxed and turned into waxy glass.

"rise!"

Wang Xiaoming's expression remained unchanged. He shouted softly, and the glass slide contaminated by the wax and the wax flew up at the same time, floating in the air, then drew an arc and fell into the golden trash can in the corner of the room.

Then he took out a piece of light yellow glass, which was a glass product containing gold and could effectively resist the power of ghosts and evil spirits.

Sure enough, there was no problem this time, and the wax oil was steadily made into slice specimens.

Taking off his glasses, Wang Xiaoming began to adjust the magnification of the microscope. Through his spiritual vision and the eye of prying eyes, he saw tens of thousands of mysterious runes.

A quarter of an hour later, the spell room had been cleaned up and Wang Xiaoming was sitting aside meditating.

During this period of time, he not only wrote down the supernatural runes, but also the smaller runes.

Unfortunately, although there are many magical runes in this wax oil, they are not as good as the Chinese medicine powder sent by Old Qin, and they are simply unable to form a complete large rune.

……

Europe, small country of Switzerland, on top of a snowy mountain.

A figure suddenly appeared here. He was wearing a black priest's robe, holding a black book, and had a solemn expression.

They were missionaries who had just arrived in Europe.

After he glanced around the top of the snowy mountain, he said calmly, "Gentleman, your hiding place is too easy to guess. No wonder you are always found by those mercenaries."

The top of the snowy mountain was still silent, and no one responded.

The missionary looked disappointed. He said regretfully, "I came to you to save you, but now it seems unnecessary. You should just fend for yourself here!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain, getting away step by step.

"I don't believe you!" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and the gentleman hiding here appeared.

The missionary turned his head and saw that the gentleman who was supposed to be clean and elegant had turned into a tramp, even more decadent than the wandering painter who was obsessed with painting.

"Why?" The missionary smiled and said, "We are the same kind. We are both hunted down with a bounty on our heads and abandoned by our superiors. We have the same experience. I can understand your pain. Why don't you believe me?"

The gentleman had no expression on his face, and was not convinced by a few words. He continued in a hoarse voice:
"How did you escape from the Asian headquarters? I didn't see you on the ghost train. Where have you been hiding all this time? Your appearance is very suspicious. I can't help but suspect you."

"Oh! How sad." The missionary said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "I came thousands of miles to save you, but you doubted me. You provided the ticket. Don't you know that there is a scary place on the ghost train? It is not connected to the ordinary carriages."

"you……"

The gentleman's face suddenly changed: "You went into the front of the car! No... No, if you went into the front of the car, you would never come out alive, absolutely impossible!"

The front of the ghost train is a forbidden place. No matter whether it is a ghost rider or an evil ghost, once they enter the front of the train, they will never come out and will completely disappear from this world. On the contrary, the ghost train will become more powerful, and these strange and evil ghosts will be eaten by the ghost train.

Even among these strange and evil ghosts, there was one that was as terrifying as S-level, and it also could not escape from the front of the ghost train.

"Nothing is impossible. Am I not standing right in front of you now?" The missionary continued to tell the lie he had made up without blinking.

The missionary did not mention that he was captured by Wang Xiaoming and then accepted as a believer by the Lord of Perfection. Instead, he made up a lie that could not be verified.

The gentleman still couldn't believe it and continued, "With your strength, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the front of the car. You are lying!"

"Praise my Lord!" the missionary said devoutly, "I really couldn't escape with my strength, but I met God, the great and perfect Lord, and it was He who saved me from the ghost train."

God? !
The gentleman felt that the missionary was playing a trick on him and said angrily, "What the hell? God? How can there be a God in this world? Are you provoking me?"

"No, no, no!" The missionary shook his head, "I am only stating the facts. My Lord rescued me from danger."

The gentleman's face was grim: "God? Since you have a god, then let your god protect you! Now please leave!"

After saying this, the gentleman disappeared from the spot, indicating that he didn't want to talk nonsense.

The missionary looked at the empty snowy mountain top and smiled. "I'll give you a piece of free information! This place has been exposed. I solved some of the problems for you before I came here, but I can't keep it secret for long..."

"What do you want?" The gentleman appeared again in the open space.

"I want you to believe in my Lord!" the missionary said fanatically.

"Impossible!" The gentleman sternly refused: "I never believe in God!"

"My Lord can let you control the third evil ghost and become a top ghost rider!"

"..."

"My Lord can ensure that your evil spirit will never be resurrected!" the missionary counselled.

"..."

Seeing the gentleman still silent, the missionary shook his head and prepared to leave.

"My Lord is honored as the Lord of Perfection, right?" said the gentleman.

"..."

Facing the doubtful missionary, the gentleman vowed:

"Everything has a first time. I think I have the potential to believe in gods!"
