Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 152 The Frozen Crowd

But just as Su Xinxi was walking forward, she suddenly heard a violent voice behind her.

"Is it just ahead?"

"Lou Hao, what... what do you want to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm just asking you, isn't Wang Liang in the lounge up ahead? Which room?!"

Upon hearing Wang Liang's name, Su Xinxi sensed something was wrong and quickly turned her head to look.

She then saw a man with a hideous scar on his face striding towards her, looking extremely impatient. A somewhat flustered woman was jogging alongside him, constantly trying to persuade him.

Su Xinxi knew her. The woman's name was Zhang Ye, her colleague and a switchboard operator. They had a good relationship, and Zhang Ye sat next to Su Xinxi before Su Xinxi moved to a separate switchboard room.

However, Zhang Ye was not in charge of the city's leadership; it seemed that he was in charge of some civilian forces who were nominally affiliated with the headquarters and acted as ghost tamers.

"Sister Ye? Who is that man? Is he the ghost tamer she's in charge of? What does that man want with Wang Liang? It's probably not good news. What should we do?"

Su Xinxi became nervous. She didn't want to see Wang Liang get into a conflict with someone at headquarters, as it would affect Wang Liang's chances of becoming the team leader.

Just as Su Xinxi was at a loss and stood there stunned, the man and woman had already passed her and arrived at a lounge in front of them.

"Is he here?" Lou Hao asked.

"You, you mustn't do anything rash. I didn't know. This is just one of the temporary rest rooms, but there are others. And what do you want with Wang Liang? I can help you contact him first. Don't be impulsive," Zhang Ye hurriedly advised.

"Hehe? What are you doing?"

Lou Hao walked toward the lounge with a sinister grin, kicked the door, and made a loud thud.

"Wang Liang, get the hell out here! What, you're too scared to come out now that you know I'm here? You're such a coward. How dare you and that other brat kill Professor Wang's brother? It's time for you to pay the price!"

Lou Hao kicked the door of the rest room repeatedly, not caring at all whether Wang Liang was staying in the temporary rest room or not. He just needed to make a scene and escalate the situation.

"Lou Hao! Don't cause trouble at headquarters!"

When the operator named Zhang Ye saw Lou Hao acting so recklessly, his expression changed, and his tone became much harsher, but this only angered Lou Hao more.

"How dare you talk to me like that?!"

Lou Hao stopped kicking the door, turned around with a sinister grin, and slapped Zhang Ye across the face, knocking him to the ground. One of his cheeks quickly swelled up.

"what."

"Shut your mouth! What right does an ordinary person have to speak loudly to me? Who do you think you are? Just because I'm being polite to you doesn't mean you can be a human being!"

Lou Hao cursed a few times, then turned around and kicked the sturdy door open completely, but he didn't go in; he wasn't stupid.

"Wang Liang! Get out here! Huh? Nobody here?"

The rooms in this area are temporary rest rooms, for those who come to headquarters from other places to stay temporarily, and most of the people living here are Ghost Tamers.

Lou Hao's unreserved action, the loud slamming of the door as it was kicked open, and Zhang Ye's scream after being slapped made a lot of noise, triggering the alarm in the rest area, which immediately attracted the attention of people in other rooms.

Soon, the doors of several occupied rest rooms nearby opened, and five or six people, both men and women, emerged from the rooms, exuding a strange aura and clearly not being normal.

But they didn't go over. Aside from being startled by the alarm at first, they just stood outside the door, coldly watching Lou Hao's situation and whispering among themselves.

"Is it Lou Hao? What's wrong with him?"

"Who is Lou Hao? I've never seen him before."

"He's practically half a headquarters person, it's normal that you don't know him, but you must know the place behind him."

"where?"

"Hehe, he's someone from my WeChat Moments."

"Tsk, people on WeChat Moments are really arrogant, but isn't it a bit too outrageous to cause such a scene at headquarters?"

"I heard that Lou Hao has mastered two ghosts."

"Hmph, those two ghosts are not bad, they're top-notch, but causing trouble at headquarters is just asking for death."

"It has nothing to do with us. We can just watch the show. He's after Wang Liang."

"Wang Liang, that sounds familiar. Right, he's one of the people who killed Professor Wang's brother, isn't he? He's a ruthless guy. I heard he's going to Beijing, and he's already here?"

"Looks like he'll be here soon, even if he hasn't. Heh, that guy is one of the nominated captains. He's very capable, with at least two ghosts, and most likely a top ghost tamer who can control three ghosts. Lou Hao must be crazy to want to cause trouble for Wang Liang. Is Lou Hao's vengeful ghost about to revive? He's not mentally stable."

"Interesting. Lou Hao has managed to control two ghosts after all. If Wang Liang comes over and can't quickly subdue him, or even causes a major incident, then things will get really interesting."

Lou Hao coldly glanced at the ghost tamers who were whispering about him not far away, snorted, and ignored them. He then turned to look at Zhang Ye, who had been slapped to the ground by him.

Lou Hao grabbed Zhang Ye by the collar and lifted her up. Zhang Ye looked at Lou Hao in horror and struggled in his grasp.

"You woman, do you have a death wish? Tell me, where is Wang Liang now! I want revenge for Professor Wang's brother!"

Lou Hao emphasized this point again, otherwise how would it have reached Professor Wang's ears and won his favor?

A female ghost tamer not far away couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward, letting out a cold snort:
"Lou Hao, is it fun to bully ordinary people? Besides, I've never heard of you receiving any great favor from Professor Wang. Do you really enjoy showing off?"

"This is none of your business. If you want to watch the show, then shut up! Or do you want to stand up for that Wang Liang? You're interested in him? Ha, come on, you filthy bitch!"

Lou Hao retorted without any politeness, which made the female ghost tamer's face turn ugly. She took a step forward, but was quickly pulled back by another person next to her.

Lou Hao flung Zhang Ye away and slammed her against the wall, letting out a groan of pain.

"If he's not here, then I'll wait in the lobby. Anyone who knows Wang Liang can give him a call. I'm telling you now, I'm going to stand up for Professor Wang today!"

After saying that, Lou Hao walked back the way he came.

Just as he was about to pass a woman who seemed stunned and was leaning against the wall, the woman, pale-faced, suddenly stood up and spread her arms to block his way.

"You, you can't go on like this."

Lou Hao narrowed his eyes.

"Who the hell are you? Am I having a run of bad luck with women today? Or am I just an ordinary person? Do you want to die?"

Su Xinxi was less than five steps away from Lou Hao, facing him directly. The fierce and chilling aura of death emanating from him made her legs tremble, but she still did not move aside.

She now had only one thought in her mind: she absolutely could not let this person and Wang Liang fight at headquarters, as it would affect Wang Liang's campaign for team leader.

She wasn't after Wang Liang became the captain so that she could have a better future or a higher position.

Su Xinxi didn't care about such things. She thought highly of Wang Liang and simply wanted someone as capable as him to rise to a higher position, receive more resources and support, and thus have greater ability to help others and protect the safety of the country and its regions.

Of course, there was another reason she didn't realize: her personal admiration for Wang Liang's swift resolution of paranormal events. "Sir, you...you can't act recklessly at headquarters. You can't take action inside headquarters. If you're looking for Wang Liang, you can...you can sit down and talk later," Su Xinxi stammered, her voice trembling.

"Sit down and talk?"

Lou Hao almost laughed out of anger. What's wrong with this woman?

Lou Hao strode over menacingly and grabbed Su Xinxi's delicate neck without any hesitation:
"What's your relationship with Wang Liang? Tell me! You must have some connection, otherwise, why would an ordinary person dare to stand up at this time?"

Su Xinxi's face turned red from being choked, and she tried to pry Lou Hao's large hands off her, but they wouldn't budge.

"Heh, you won't talk, huh? Then die! Anyone can just jump out like that. Killing an ordinary person won't get me anywhere from headquarters," Lou Hao sneered.

Zhang Ye, who was behind, caught his breath and saw this scene, his eyes widened in shock.

"Cough cough, Lou Hao, you can't kill her! She's Wang Liang's operator. Killing her will completely offend Wang Liang!"

Upon hearing this, Lou Hao looked at Su Xinxi in front of him with a mocking gaze.

"Oh? You ran into Xiaoyu. You're Wang Liang's operator, so you must know where he is."

Lou Hao stared at Su Xinxi's terrified eyes, his expression gradually becoming strange and his gaze unsettling.

"What beautiful eyes! Tell me where Wang Liang is, or I'll dig them up and keep them as a keepsake."

As he spoke, Lou Hao actually raised his other hand, which at that moment exuded a chilling coldness as he slowly reached out towards Su Xinxi's terrified eyes.

"A ghost gouging out eyes?" a ghost tamer said solemnly from behind.

"Ha, madman, using ghosts and supernatural powers on ordinary people, I think he's not far from the resurgence of ghosts."

One of the ghost tamers saw through Lou Hao's commotion and continued with a cold smile:
"This might also be the reason why he jumped out to cause trouble for Wang Liang, to win over Professor Wang so that he can get the chance to control the third ghost. What a clever plan."

Su Xinxi's face turned red, and her vision gradually blurred. The large hand in her field of vision was getting closer and closer, and the cold aura emanating from it made her almost lose all the strength to struggle.

But she still didn't say where Wang Liang was, and subconsciously tried to dissuade Lou Hao.

"No, we can't. We can't do it at headquarters."

"These eyes are mine!"

Lou Hao stared greedily into Su Xinxi's increasingly lifeless eyes. At this moment, he no longer even thought about Wang Liang, but stared intently at the pair of beautiful eyes in front of him. He was too severely corrupted by his vengeful instincts.

But at that moment, Lou Hao's hand suddenly went empty; Su Xinxi had vanished from his grasp.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling sound of something cutting through the air came from ahead, startling Lou Hao, who was caught in a ghostly instinct, and he looked up with a drastically changed expression.

But before he could make any other move, just as he looked up, a blood-stained bone spear had already pierced through the air and arrived in front of him, stabbing into his chest without any resistance.

The tip of the bone spear pierced Lou Hao's body, emerging from his back, with tiny bone spurs protruding from its surface, wedging themselves tightly into Lou Hao's flesh.

The flying bone spear carried an unusually strong force, which dragged Lou Hao backward at high speed.

With a final thud, he was pinned to the door of an empty lounge at the end of the corridor by the blood-stained bone spear.

"Ahhh!"

Lou Hao screamed in agony as the cold bone spurs emerging from the bone spear grew inside his body, causing him unbearable pain as his flesh was pierced through.

Lou Hao's eyes were now filled with blood, appearing ferocious and bloodshot.

He stared intently at the man in the black coat who had appeared out of nowhere a few dozen meters away, who was coldly watching him.

The ordinary woman who had almost lost her eyes earlier was now leaning weakly against the man's arm, panting heavily, her face still showing the terror of surviving a close call.

'That's Wang Liang?!'

The thought only flashed through Lou Hao's mind for a moment before his brain was completely filled with madness.

"I want you to die!"

Lou Hao was pinned down but not dead. He roared ferociously, grabbed the bone spear in his chest, and tried to pull it out.

But what he didn't notice was that he had grabbed a layer of cold, gray skin on the surface of the gun barrel.

Before he could even pull out the bone spear, a strange, chilling sensation instantly struck him, freezing him in place and halting his movements.

At the same time, through the one-way mirror above the door behind him, a pale and ferocious arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed Lou Hao's face.

The hand that suddenly appeared had pale skin and black nails, unlike that of a living person. Cold, scarlet blood flowed from the palm, with a few strands of black blood intertwined in it, making a sizzling, corrosive sound as it flowed down Lou Hao's face.

Then came the second and third points.
Seven or eight vengeful arms, not belonging to the living, squeezed out from the glass, forming a death flower of arms behind Lou Hao's head, displaying an eerie and terrifying scene.

The grotesque, pale arms, like man-eating flowers, closed up, their joints twisting abnormally, gripping Lou Hao's face, pulling at his chin, and squeezing his neck. Their nails dug into his shoulders, lifting Lou Hao straight up, his feet off the ground.

In less than two seconds, Lou Hao hadn't even recovered from the attack by the bone spear. Before he could even scream, those pale arms, along with the blood-stained bone spear stuck in his chest, were dragged into the glass of the door and mysteriously disappeared from reality.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the corridor returned to calm.

Apart from a few drops of blood that were spilled along the path where Lou Hao was nailed away, the ground looked as if nothing had happened.

The ghost tamers standing outside the rest rooms on both sides were initially watching with either a cold smile or indifference, not wanting to interfere, but they were all keeping a close eye on Lou Hao.

But in that instant, in just a blink or two, they all froze in place.

His facial expression froze, his cheeks twitched unnaturally, his body movements remained unchanged, but goosebumps rose on his skin.

A few seconds later, their gazes lingered between the door on the left where Lou Hao had disappeared and the cold-faced man in black standing in the middle of the corridor on the right.

After a brief silence, a series of shocked voices erupted.

"What a joke!!" someone couldn't help but shout in a low, hoarse voice.

"Where's Lou Hao?! Was he dragged into the glass by those vengeful ghosts' arms and then disappeared? Is he dead?"

"Are you kidding me? He was a top-notch ghost tamer who could control two ghosts, and he was just taken care of like that? This death was easier than killing a chicken for me."

"That man is Wang Liang?! When did he appear?"

"Is the gap between me and the nominated captain really that big?"

"Damn, don't talk nonsense. I've actually been nominated too. Although I don't have many supporters yet, it's still a nomination. But it won't be that quick for me to deal with Lou Hao."

"what?"

Oh wow, everyone was predicting one chapter of cursing and another of fighting, right? Ta-da! One chapter and it's all over! I told you it would be over in one chapter, haha, a powerful end to the predictions!
