Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 109 System Crash
"This is the current ability of the ghost messenger. Now the ghost messenger has returned to the coffin, but this is not a good thing. The purpose of this coffin is to nurture the ghost messenger and make it more complete. Once the nurturing is successful, when the ghost messenger comes out of the coffin again, it will definitely be more terrifying than it is now."

At this point, Wang Liang smiled and looked at the group of people at headquarters, noticing the astonished expressions on their faces.

"Now, do you think this is still just a C-level or B-level paranormal event? Defining it as an S-level event wouldn't be an exaggeration. Selling this coffin at the price it just was, is a bit of a bargain."

As for Professor Wang's desire to study this coffin, I have no objection and even agree with it. After all, even if it is thrown into a golden box and sealed, it will continue to gestate in the ghost coffin until it is complete.

Once the complete ghost messenger emerges from the coffin, no matter how thick the golden box is, it's impossible to say whether it can truly and permanently contain him.

If something unexpected happens and it escapes, it would be a very troublesome situation for a ghost messenger who has been obediently nurtured in the ghost coffin to deal with it.

So it's better to let you study it and cause some trouble for the nascent ghost messengers. We've figured out the ghost messengers' abilities at this stage, and as long as they don't act recklessly, there shouldn't be too much trouble.

If you want to study the ghost coffin, you must solve the problem of the ghost inside. My last research requirement is that if you have a way to use the extreme conflicts in the rules of vengeful ghosts to put the ghost inside, or rather, its vessel, into a state similar to a system crash before it restarts, then I need that crashed ghost vessel.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to classify this as S-level, and the code name ‘Ghost Messenger’ is quite fitting. But is it a conflict with the rules? A system crash?” Wang Xiaoming accurately captured the key information in Wang Liang’s words.

At this time, Wang Xiaoming had not seen Yang Jian's hanging in front of the ghost mirror during the starving ghost incident, and had never thought that a vengeful ghost could actually be made to crash.

Upon first hearing this viewpoint, he seemed thoughtful, remaining silent for a few seconds, during which his eyes grew increasingly bright.

“Okay! I agree to all your conditions.” Wang Xiaoming suddenly revealed a smile that surprised Li Jun and Zhao Jianguo.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming's mind was filled with new ideas because of the "system crash," and these were all directions for his next research. He couldn't wait to put them into practice and didn't want to stay here any longer.

He stood up.

"I will report the request, but with your information, it shouldn't be a problem to get it approved. The ghost coffin is indeed very valuable. And even if something unexpected happens to Minister Cao, I will make up for it with my remaining share."

There's no problem with the ghost money; the total of thirteen ghost banknotes will be delivered as soon as possible.

"I can only give you one red ghost candle right now, Li Jun, go get it from the car."

Li Jun looked anxious and wanted to say something, but Wang Xiaoming waved him off, so he had no choice but to leave and head in the direction they had come from to retrieve one of the ghost candles they had brought with them.

Wang Xiaoming continued, "The remaining five red candles will be delivered within a week at the latest, and the white ones will be the same."

As for the two supernatural items, after Minister Cao approves them, you will need to go to Dajing City to retrieve them. Someone will notify you when that time comes.

"I need to study the ghost carrier that caused the system crash, so I can't give you a precise answer. But if it can be successfully implemented, I can give it to you. All I need is the process of achieving that success."

“Okay.” Wang Liang also stood up and shook hands with Wang Xiaoming, signifying the end of the transaction.

"Also, did you encounter Feng Quan in Huanggang Village? He was the first person in charge of Dachang City. He was previously trapped in Huanggang Village, but he also provided some information about the Ghost Coffin," Wang Xiaoming asked as he shook hands.

Wang Liang said without changing his expression, "Of course, he had barely managed to survive by lying in the ghost coffin and barely maintaining a balance with the ghost messengers. However, he died when the vengeful ghost revived during the final confrontation. But it also taught us some of the patterns of the ghost messengers. His death was very valuable."

"His ghost was taken away by the ghost messengers?"

"No, I've already controlled one of the ghost mists. The other one is in the bag. Want to take a look?"

Wang Liang didn't hide anything. The fact that he controlled Feng Quan's ghostly mist would be easily discovered later, so it was better to clarify now to avoid future misunderstandings. Wang Xiaoming didn't focus much on Feng Quan's death, nor did he suggest retrieving Feng Quan's other ghost. Instead, he asked about another point:

"You were able to control Feng Quan's ghostly mist on the spot. Your method of control seems quite special. It's probably not a typical balancing method. Is it the 'crash' you mentioned before? Can you explain how you did it?"

"That's a secret," Wang Liang refused.

Wang Xiaoming nodded, not dwelling on the matter, and turned to Zhao Jianguo, saying:

"The ghost messenger is of great importance. His level has been readjusted to S-level, but his file is encrypted and his access has been raised to the highest level."

Zhao Jianguo said seriously, "Okay, I will have everyone present sign a confidentiality agreement later to prevent the information about the ghost messengers from being leaked."

Zhao Jianguo could fully understand Professor Wang's actions, although the detention was a clever trick and could not even be called detention.

But the result was that an S-class vengeful ghost fell into their hands for their research. If other forces around the world found out about this, it would cause an uproar.

“However, Professor Wang, I suggest that we stop researching ghost messengers.” Zhao Jianguo said hesitantly.

Wang Xiaoming rejected his suggestion: "You heard what I just said. It's not safe to permanently seal away such a terrifying ghost. If this ghost really manages to develop successfully, no one knows what will happen. I know what I'm doing. I'll talk to Minister Cao about it."

"All right."

Li Jun then returned, carrying a long gold box in his hand, and handed it to Wang Liang with a dark expression.

Wang Liang didn't care about Li Jun's expression at all, took the item, and casually tossed it to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian opened the box and saw a scarlet candle inside, emitting a faint smell of decay.

'This is the ghost candle? Is its effect really that miraculous?'

"Once this is over, Li Jun will take the coffin back with him, and we'll head back," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Yes, Professor Wang."

Wang Xiaoming and the others left, while Zhao Jianguo stayed behind for the time being. He was responsible for getting everyone else here to sign a confidentiality agreement, mainly targeting Zhang Han, Yang Jian, and Wang Liang.

To be more specific, it was actually aimed at Zhang Han alone, since he was the only one who wasn't from headquarters, while Yang Jian was already practically a person in charge.

After signing, Wang Liang said to Zhao Jianguo:
"By the way, Captain Zhao, the ghost money and the remaining ghost candles are ready and will be sent directly to Dachang City. I won't be going back for the time being; I might have to stay in Dachang City for a few days."

Zhao Jianguo replied, "Okay, but you're really asking for a high price this time. Even the headquarters will feel the pinch when they have to pay for those resources."

"Forget it, even if production is slow, it's not a big deal if we can produce it. Team Leader Zhao, don't talk nonsense. I still believe in the resources of headquarters," Wang Liang said.

Zhao Jianguo shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more.
