Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 14 The Bizarre Surveillance

"Teacher Wang, why did you give us your passport photo?"

"Take these with you, don't let them out of your sight. They might save your lives if something like today happens."

"Oh, don't worry, Teacher Wang, once I get back, I will definitely burn incense and pray to the photo day and night, and I will never let it out of my sight!"

Zhang Wei immediately put Wang Liang's one-inch photo in his shirt pocket, zipped it up, and exaggeratedly covered it with both hands.

"That doesn't have to be the case."

Wang Liang's lips twitched, ignoring this top comedian and future dual-wielding golden gunman of Dachang City.

"Alright, get in the car, I'll take you back."

At this point, Wang Liang was a little troubled, because there was definitely not enough room for seven students.

Although his car is an SUV, it's still a bit excessive to have eight people in it, including him.

The others also noticed Wang Liang's predicament, and Yang Jian took the initiative to speak:
"I can go back by myself. Teacher Wang, please take them."

“Well, I’ll go straight home then. My home is nearby,” Liu Qi said.

“I’ll follow you, Yang Jian,” Wang Shanshan whispered at this moment.

"Huh? Okay, ladies' privilege, I'll see you off." Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment, but didn't mind.

"Can I stay at your place for a few days?" Wang Shanshan asked softly.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Shanshan with strange expressions.

Wang Liang then looked at an inconspicuous light red mark on Wang Shanshan's wrist, which resembled an eye, something even Yang Jian hadn't noticed at that moment.

That was the Ghost Slave Mark belonging to the Ghost Eye left behind when Yang Jian saved Wang Shanshan.

“That definitely won’t work. Let’s go, I’ll take you home first,” Yang Jian said.

Despite lingering fear and reluctance to separate, the group eventually parted ways.

Liu Qi's home was nearby, so he went back home.

Yang Jian escorted Wang Shanshan home, and at her doorstep, he received two hundred yuan from her mother, Wang Haiyan, as "breakfast money."

Wang Liang first took Zhang Wei, Miao Xiaoshan, Zhao Lei, and Sun Ren home, and then went to a mobile phone store to buy a new phone and get a new SIM card.

The first thing Wang Liang did after getting the phone was to download and save the electronic audio recording with the knocking sound from the forum Yang Jian mentioned.

Then he sent his new phone number to the No. 7 Middle School class group, where there were hardly any people talking anymore.

He wasn't going to use his old phone number anymore; he'd consider it a way of putting an end to his identity as a teacher in this body.

The school is already defunct, and now that he's a Ghost Tamer, there's no need for him to continue being a teacher, especially since he's not really Teacher Wang anymore.

If we try to reissue the old number now, we'll just get endless calls from parents asking all sorts of questions.

If a paranormal event occurs, what can he tell those parents? Saying it's haunted and their child might be... they probably won't believe it anyway, and it will only cause more trouble for both sides. Let the relevant departments handle the explanation.

On the other hand, a little earlier.

In a switchboard room at the Ghost Rider headquarters in Dajing City, Asia Division.
Liu Xiaoyu, the operator who was originally supposed to be in contact with Zhou Zheng, was now operating a computer.

After retrieving the relevant surveillance footage based on the known information, she shouted to a middle-aged man in uniform in the switchboard room:

"Captain, I've located the relevant surveillance footage based on Zhou Zheng's satellite phone's location signal." Zhao Jianguo, with a serious expression, strode over upon hearing this.

"How's Zhou Zheng? Have you managed to contact him?"

"Not yet. I was worried that contacting him might cause him to encounter an accident in the paranormal event, so I haven't taken the initiative to contact Zhou Zheng's satellite phone."

But now, in the nearby surveillance footage retrieved using satellite positioning, I haven't seen Zhou Zheng. His satellite phone is likely in the hands of those people on the surveillance footage, and Zhou Zheng's situation is probably not good.”

"Who are those eight people in the surveillance footage?"

"Seven of them are students, all from No. 7 Middle School in Dachang City. According to the surveillance footage, these seven people suddenly appeared in the pedestrian street of Dachang City. There should be a ghost tamer there. It is estimated that someone has just become a ghost tamer in the paranormal events at No. 7 Middle School and is suspected of possessing a ghost domain."

"Hmm, what about the person who got off the car in the back?" Zhao Jianguo asked.

Liu Xiaoyu quickly replied that she had already done her research.

"According to the facial recognition system, he is a teacher at No. 7 Middle School and the homeroom teacher of the class that Zhou Zheng went to the school to give a safety lecture that night. His name is Wang Liang. He grew up in Fule Orphanage in Da'an City, went to university in Dachang City, and later stayed in Dachang City to teach at No. 7 Middle School."

"The homeroom teacher? Why did he drive here alone? He wasn't at school at the time?" Zhao Jianguo was puzzled.

"Captain, I have a feeling something's off about this person."

At this point, Liu Xiaoyu's expression became somewhat strange.

“I checked the surveillance footage near No. 7 Middle School. It was him who picked up Zhou Zheng at the school gate and they entered the campus together. There is no record of them leaving.”

In other words, he also encountered seven supernatural events and was taken away by the ghost's ghost realm, but he escaped the ghost realm unharmed afterwards.

Surveillance footage obtained through facial recognition showed that some time after the paranormal incident at No. 7 Middle School, he suddenly appeared in a residential area five kilometers away from the school, and then took a taxi back to No. 7 Middle School.

After getting his car at school, he parked it on Guyang Street for a long time, and then set off again around 3 a.m. to go to the vicinity of Hongfa Temple.

The surveillance cameras didn't capture it, so we don't know what he did. After staying for a while, he drove around aimlessly in many places in Dachang City, and his whereabouts were uncertain. His behavior is incomprehensible.

But in the end, he actually encountered seven students who had just escaped from the ghost realm right there on the pedestrian street.

This suggests that he wasn't just wandering around randomly, but rather he was able to precisely pinpoint the location of the vengeful ghost at No. 7 Middle School and was tracking it purposefully, likely to save his students!

Liu Xiaoyu drew a conclusion.

"Based on this information, this person should also be a Ghost Tamer, and his abilities are not simple. He is probably not a newcomer and has been a Ghost Tamer for some time. However, he seems to be in good condition and his appearance is normal. He was also teaching at No. 7 Middle School before this incident and did not exhibit any abnormal behavior."

Hearing Liu Xiaoyu's analysis, Zhao Jianguo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"To be able to escape the Ghost Realm and even lock onto it—it's hard to believe that a Ghost Master with such abilities would be a teacher at a school all this time."

"Ah, Captain, look!" Liu Xiaoyu suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Zhao Jianguo.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhao Jianguo quickly turned to look at the computer screen that Liu Xiaoyu was pointing at, and then his expression changed drastically.

Suddenly, Liu Xiaoyu's computer screen on the table began to flicker erratically, as if dropping frames.

Meanwhile, a strange change occurred in Wang Liang, who was talking to the students in the surveillance footage on the screen.

Wow.

Some computer screens that were experiencing frame drops suddenly flickered violently, resulting in severe screen distortion.

After a brief flash, when the screen returned to normal, Wang Liang's image in the surveillance video had been replaced!
She transformed into a white-clad female ghost standing quietly, with her black hair flowing freely, her face obscured!
The students in the scene, however, seemed completely oblivious to the change and continued to surround the female ghost, talking to her normally.

This means that the images on the computer are not intended for the actual scene, but rather for them!
