Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

Chapter 48 Two Ghost Candles
Zhang Qian frowned when he looked at Li Yan's physical condition.

"You look even worse than last time. You're just skin and bones. When the headquarters lets a wounded soldier like you perform a mission, isn't it afraid that you'll wake up and lie down in the middle of the road?"

"Don't curse me..." Li Yan sat down on the chair and gasped, "I'm already on vacation. This time I'm just here to give you the rewards promised by the headquarters."

Even though he hadn't walked far, he was already sweating a little.

Most ghost masters will transform into ghosts when they are close to recovery, but Li Yan looks like an old smoker who has smoked excessively all year round. He is too weak to look like a ghost master.

Just ready to start treatment, let Feng Quan invite Li Yan to be the first batch of clients...

"Where's the reward?" Zhang Qian asked, then pointed to the suitcase Li Yan carried with him, "It's not just that much, is it?"

"Um...is she your girlfriend?" Li Yan did not open the box directly, but pointed at Jiang Yuxin and asked.

"Not yet." Jiang Yuxin asked Zhang Qian for advice, "How about I go out and wait for you first?"

"No need." Zhang Qian grabbed Jiang Yuxin who wanted to leave.

Let her go now. What if she runs away later? You have to ask her clearly before making a plan whether to kill her or to keep her.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, come on." Li Yan was a little envious, "Young people are full of energy. I remember back then..."

"Let's talk about my reward first. Why is it only this little?" Zhang Qian interrupted.

"Haha, don't be too little. This is a strategic material. It is likely to change the future world structure and subvert people's way of dealing with supernatural beings. Even Professor Wang is not qualified to distribute it directly." Li Yan said.

He didn't show off, cleared a corner of the table, and pulled the suitcase onto the table.

"Click."

The black suitcase opened in response, revealing two blood-red candles wrapped in white cotton velvet, with gold candlesticks at the bottom.

In the small square next to it are several gold lighters and a box of matches.

Zhang Qian originally had high expectations, but was stunned when he saw that there were only candles inside.

"No more?" Zhang Qian asked in disbelief, "I finally solved such a large supernatural incident and provided information on how to control the second ghost. Are these two candles going to send me away?"

He observed carefully and found no supernatural aura, and the texture after getting started was not much different from an ordinary candle.

Except for the scarlet color, it looks exactly like an ordinary candle.

"Is the wick of your candle made of gold, or is the wax made of gold? And..."

Zhang Qian picked up another candle and said speechlessly: "This thing has actually been used? Is it necessary to deduct it like this?"

Even if I gave him two candles, one of them was actually one-sixth short. It would be better to give him two ghosts.

Li Yan looked mysterious, "I didn't think this was a good thing at first, but the value of this candle is indeed much higher than that of Li Gui."

"Let me introduce you." Zhang Qian stuffed the candle back into the box, "If it's not worth it, I'll return it."

Li Yan said: "This is the latest achievement of Professor Wang's laboratory. The output so far is very low, the quantity is very rare, and the value is impossible to estimate. Professor Wang calls it: Ghost Candle."

"The name is very deceiving, so what's the effect?" Zhang Qian asked. "Its function is very simple. As long as you light this candle, within the range covered by the candlelight, people can be guaranteed not to be killed by evil spirits and be in absolute safety." Li Yan said.

"Oh~ I see." Zhang Qian nodded and prepared to put things away.

Li Yan was looking forward to it, but when he saw that Zhang Qian didn't care, he was confused, "Aren't you surprised? This is something that can be immune to the attacks of evil spirits. Ordinary people holding it are invincible in front of evil spirits. Ghost controllers hold it. Not to mention."

"What's so shocking about this." Zhang Qian gave him a strange look, "Isn't it just a magic weapon? And it's a one-time use. What's so surprising about it?"

Although he has never seen it before, he has also heard of many powerful magic weapons, such as the book of life and death that can ecstasy, the four swords of killing immortals that suppress the ancient world, etc...

However, Wang Xiaoming was able to develop a magic weapon as a mortal, which is considered very powerful.

Weapons made of gold are still not very comfortable. You can ask him to design a weapon in the future.

"You're amazing..." Li Yan originally wanted to see Zhang Qian's shocked look, but he didn't expect that his brain circuitry would be so surprising.

"Should this thing have been tested?" Zhang Qian asked.

"Of course, how could the headquarters give you a semi-finished product as a reward?" Li Yan came to his senses and began to introduce Guizhu, "The effect of Guizhu has been verified in many supernatural incidents. No matter how terrifying the ghost is, it cannot be circumvented. If a ghost candle attacks the people inside, as long as the candle is still burning, the people inside the candle are invincible."

"How long can it last?" Zhang Qian asked.

Such a powerful effect, wouldn't it be invincible if it lasted longer?

If a human hand directly pulls the ghost and stuffs it into the golden box, then what kind of ghost controller is needed? Ordinary people can solve supernatural events.

Li Yan recalled the record and said hesitantly: "It's impossible to be sure. The ghost candle burns at different speeds depending on the situation encountered. The scarier the ghost, the faster the ghost candle burns, but no matter what, at least it can maintain Half an hour should be no problem.”

"The time is so short?" Zhang Qian asked in surprise, "Can I have two more?"

"Half an hour is just a conservative estimate. In fact, it should be much longer." Li Yan explained, "Professor Wang did an experiment. He held a ghost candle under two ghost hands for more than ten minutes and it only took six minutes. one."

"Wang Xiaoming actually experimented on himself?" Zhang Qian was a little surprised.

"Professor Wang has always been very confident in the success of his experiments, and his methods of doing things are a little bit radical." Li Yan was also a little sad. It was not easy for him when he was Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard before.

In the early days of supernatural phenomena, Wang Xiaoming often went to the scene in person and was always traveling around the country.Li Yan was almost dead from exhaustion, but Wang Xiaoming still had the energy to do experiments and was enviably energetic.

"Then this ghost candle is what he left behind?"

"Yes." Li Yan comforted, "But you don't have to feel at a disadvantage. This ghost candle was given to you by Professor Wang. Originally, I could only prepare one for you, but this one is included in the experimental loss. ."

"I see, then I have to thank him." Zhang Qiandao.

A ghost candle is indeed difficult to distribute. Who knows if this thing will still be effective after being cut.

Now that I have two, I can keep one at home and take one with me.

Li Yan shrugged, "Professor Wang knew you would say that, so let me tell you that if you want to express your gratitude, go to the experimental base as soon as possible to accompany him in the experiment. The venue has been set up and is waiting for you."
