Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 134 One Year

But at that moment, a towering, monstrous ghost, its body reflecting light as if composed of mirrors, emerged from the blood lake before me. Unaffected by the lake's oppressive power, it emanated a chilling aura even colder than the blood itself, and its gleaming form reflected my terrified face.

[At that moment, I understood: the Ghost Mirror had revived. I died, and the vengeful spirit within me was instantly seized and imprisoned within the revived ghost of the Ghost Mirror. My mangled body sank into the lake of blood, where it was dismembered by the blood slaves.]

"Dead? Are you kidding me? Was your previous plan just bullshit?!"

Wang Liang stared at the words on the parchment, his eyes darting around.

According to the deduction based on the human skin paper, if he were to control the Ghost Mirror now and steal the second Mirror Ghost, the Ghost Mirror would be forced to release four vengeful ghosts instead of the two previously predicted.

The information provided by the human skin paper is correct, which means that under normal circumstances only two should be released. So why were four released when the operation was actually carried out?
Moreover, dense cracks appeared on the surface of the mirror, and it shattered on the third explosion. The ghost mirror, still possessing the supernatural power of six mirror ghosts, fully revived and crushed him to death.

"Wait, now?" Wang Liang frowned. He looked at it several times and noticed a word on the parchment.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Liang said to the human skin paper:
"Is it that I can't steal the ghost mirror's supernatural power continuously in a short period of time? Tell me how long the interval should be before I can steal and control it so that the ghost mirror can be safely stolen from without reviving."

The paper doll remained unresponsive, seemingly unwilling to offer a solution.

Wang Liang sneered and threw the human skin paper on the ground.

The paper figure suddenly stood up, its two corners curling up like feet, and it took a step forward.

But Wang Liang stepped on it, pinning the paper human skin that was trying to escape under his foot. He then took out a coffin nail and stabbed it into the paper human skin, making a hole.

The coffin nails were pulled out, the human skin paper trembled, and the hole that had been poked in healed itself.

Wang Liang remained silent, only repeatedly thrusting his weapon.

The nails were stuck in the coffin for seven minutes. Although they did not cause any damage to the paper, the holes healed after the coffin nails were removed.

But Wang Liang was satisfied, and only then did he pick up the human skin paper again.

Several lines of text quickly appeared on the parchment, and it became much more obedient.

I understand now that I can't steal the ghostly energy from the ghost mirrors consecutively in a short period of time. Otherwise, before I can even steal all nine ghostly energy from the mirrors, the dormant ghost mirrors themselves will be quickly stimulated and fully awakened.

[The resurrection of the Ghost Mirror, capable of imprisoning dozens of vengeful spirits, is beyond my ability to contend with. Even if three of the mirror spirits were stolen, it would still be able to kill me.]

After some deliberation, I devised a method for safely stealing the ghostly energy from the mirror. After stealing the ghostly energy from the mirror the first time, I must wait at least 19 days for the mirror to completely return to its normal state before attempting to steal a second ghost.

[I stole the second mirror ghost. Only two cracks appeared on the mirror, releasing two fierce ghosts, but they quickly sank into the depths of the blood lake. The mirror returned to normal, and I safely stole the ghost mirror's supernatural power.]

[The third time, I waited 29 days before taking action, and finally succeeded in stealing the Ghost Mirror. The three mirror ghosts became pieces of Sadako's puzzle, and Sadako underwent a new transformation.]

As usual, after another 39 days, I went to steal the ghost mirror's supernatural power for the fourth time. Then, on the 49th and 59th days, the ghost mirror was stolen from several times. But the later it went, the more supernatural power a mirror ghost possessed, and the more easily the ghost mirror itself was stimulated and revived.

[After the seventh theft, I waited a full 79 days before taking action, and the eighth Mirror Ghost was safely stolen and controlled.]

[But after this success, the Ghost Mirror was on the verge of collapse. Although things returned to calm, I didn't wait another 89 days, because that would be pointless. So I chose to try to control the ninth Mirror Ghost on the spot.]

[But as soon as the ninth mirror ghost was touched and attacked, the ghost mirror shattered completely, releasing all the vengeful spirits. Only the ghost mirror containing the last mirror ghost fully revived and attacked me, trying to reclaim the lost supernatural power.]

[The ninth mirror ghost is key; it possesses more supernatural abilities than any of the previous mirror ghosts. However, I've already stolen too much of the mirror's supernatural power, especially from the eighth mirror ghost, which possessed a significant amount of supernatural abilities. I'm not the same person I used to be.] [After a difficult struggle, I successfully suppressed the mirror ghost and mastered the last one. I, Sadako, am the new mirror ghost.]

I did it.

"Very good, so that means it will only take me a year at most to be able to steal the Ghost Mirror's supernatural power relatively safely?"

Wang Liang finally got the answer he wanted: whether Sadako could ignore the terrain and quickly stack up the pieces, besides completing the large puzzle herself, might depend on the Ghost Mirror.

The Ghost Mirror is extremely terrifying; once it revives, it won't just be a simple S-class paranormal event.

It is called S-rank because the highest rating currently available is S-rank, not because the Ghost Mirror is only S-rank.

Once the silence is turned into a supernatural object, it can imprison dozens of ghosts. How could such a fierce ghost be weak after it is revived? Once it is completely controlled by him, the improvement he can gain will be enormous.

Wang Liang suddenly remembered what the paper had said about the failed theft, and the ghost mirror shattered completely on the third attempt.

Although most of the vengeful ghosts sank to the bottom, more than a dozen of them still struggled and thrashed in the blood lake, and a few even walked out of the lake.

So he asked:
"The number of times it is stolen, a vengeful ghost that even the Blood Lake cannot sink into will emerge from the Ghost Mirror."

The paper doll remained unmoved.

"That's really annoying."

Wang Liang sighed, then stabbed the human skin paper for another seven minutes, and immediately brought over a small golden box.

[Three, six, seven.]

The tone of the writing on the parchment became increasingly perfunctory, but Wang Liang didn't care and continued to ask:

How to safely steal the supernatural elements from the Blood Lake?

No words appeared on the human skin paper, and Wang Liang resorted to his old trick again.

After half an hour of torture and threats, no words appeared on the human skin paper, as if it had completely given up.

Only then did Wang Liang shake his head, and with a flash of gray light, he left the rooftop of the building and flew towards Da'an City.

The top floor of Tianhuan Enterprise in Da'an City.

In an office that rivals the luxury of the Shangtong Building, the graceful Xia Wei was already tidying up various items and wiping away the little dust with a cloth, doing the work of a cleaner.

Just as she bent down to wipe the surface of the tea cabinet, a slightly cold male voice rang out in the office.

"You're here so early? Putting aside your family background, as the company's secretary, why are you personally doing this kind of cleaning work?"

A man's voice suddenly came from her office, which should have been empty except for her.

Xia Wei was startled and almost fell to the ground in her panic. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Wang Liang sitting in the CEO's chair behind his desk, examining a document on the table.
