Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 17 Bloodstained Newspaper

Just as Yang Jian felt paralyzed by sleep paralysis and couldn't move, the one-inch photo of Teacher Wang that Yang Jian had carefully placed on the bedside table before lying down suddenly started to act strangely.

Teacher Wang's one-inch photo trembled on the bedside table without any wind, and a chilling feeling emanated from the photo, which was less than a finger's length long.

The chilling aura that touched Yang Jian significantly reduced the abnormal activity of the Ghost Eye within him.

"Huh, huh."

On the bed, Yang Jian suddenly opened his eyes, regained his mobility, sat up, his whole body covered in sweat, and gasped for breath.

"What's going on? These eyes, and... Teacher Wang's passport photo!"

Yang Jian turned his head to look at the photo on the bedside table that was still radiating a chilling aura, but just one glance filled him with surprise and doubt.

Because the image of Teacher Wang in the photo is undergoing strange changes: her hair is getting longer and covering her face, her clothes are turning white, and her figure is becoming thinner.

'It's that female ghost who fought against the knocking ghost. Why did she suddenly change like this? Is it because of the strange activity of the ghost eye on me?'

Suppressing the strange sensations of the resurrected ghost eye within his body, Yang Jian got out of bed and stood in front of the bedside table, unsure of what to do next.

After all, all of this puzzled him, whether it was the ghost eye or Teacher Wang's one-inch photo.

squeak.

The door to the room was pushed open, and Yang Jian turned his head to look, asking in confusion:
"Dad, what brings you in? Is something the matter?"

A man walked in and sat down in the chair in front of the desk in the room. He kept his face covered by a newspaper the whole time, facing Yang Jian, but he didn't say a word or respond to Yang Jian's questions.

Yang Jian felt a faint stinging pain coming from his back; it was the chilling aura emanating from Teacher Wang's one-inch photo, which seemed to be getting more and more pronounced.

So he turned around, wanting to put the one-inch photo away first, not wanting his father to notice anything unusual about it.

His father was just an ordinary person and shouldn't have been involved with these supernatural things.

But just as Yang Jian reached out to the one-inch photo, the female ghost in the photo suddenly moved.

A pale, black-veined arm protrudes horribly from a small, one-inch photograph, gripping the edge of the bedside table.

This action startled Yang Jian, causing his pupils to shrink and him to quickly take two steps back.

On the bedside table, a pale arm reached out, grabbed the edge of the table, and pushed outwards. A disheveled, white-clad female ghost crawled out of the photo and landed on the ground on all fours.

Yang Jian knew that summoning this female ghost was Teacher Wang's method. Although he didn't know why she suddenly appeared, he believed she wouldn't harm him.

So he immediately turned around, ready to explain this horrifying scene to his father, who was an 'ordinary person'.

As soon as he turned his head, a stench assaulted his nostrils, and a newspaper covered in scarlet, as if soaked in blood and so thick it seemed to drip with blood, came straight at him.

Yang Jianxin's heart sank, realizing he was being attacked by a supernatural force, and he tried to activate his Ghost Eye to deal with it.

But it was too close, there was no time to react, and the blood-stained newspaper was about to cover his face.

Just then, Yang Jian suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, the touch was icy cold, and half of his body went numb.

Then a tremendous force pulled him backward, and at the same time, a pale arm reached out from his side to meet the incoming newspaper.

It's that female ghost!
The white-clad female ghost pulled Yang Jian behind her, grabbed the flying blood-red newspaper, and caused the black veins on the back of her hand to rupture, oozing thick, dark blood.

The black blood flowed down the female ghost's palm, sizzling as it touched the crimson newspaper, as if it had a strong corrosive effect. "Damn it, what's going on? Dad, are you alright?"

As soon as Yang Jian turned around, he was attacked by a blood-red newspaper almost touching his face. He knew that he had fallen into a supernatural event again and cursed his luck.

After regaining his footing, he was about to inquire about his 'father's' condition when, before he could finish speaking, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a black-and-white portrait of a middle-aged man displayed on the cabinet.

This caused Yang Jian's expression to freeze. The real evidence appeared, and Yang Jian felt it was unreal, as if it were a dream.

He vaguely realized that his father seemed to have died a long time ago. Then who was that person in front of him?!
Yang Jian suddenly turned his head to look ahead, where the white-clad female ghost was tearing at a blood-red newspaper with both hands, thick black blood constantly oozing from her hands and spreading onto the newspaper, making a sizzling sound.

The blood-red newspaper struggled incessantly in the female ghost's hand, sometimes yanking outwards, sometimes wrapping around her palm, but she held on tightly and couldn't break free.

In front of the female ghost and the newspaper, the middle-aged man sitting at his desk in his room also looked up at Yang Jian at this moment.

Without the newspaper to cover him, Yang Jian could clearly see the man's face. This man had no facial features, only a layer of smooth skin!

It's a ghost!
Realizing that he had no father at all, scarlet ghost eyes suddenly sprouted from Yang Jian's face and arms. He immediately activated the supernatural power of the ghost eyes, and his body emitted a red light, trying to cooperate with Teacher Wang's female ghost to suppress the ghost in front of him.

The ghost in front of the desk seemed to realize it had been exposed and stood up.

The next moment, the blood-red newspaper was forcibly torn and broken free from the white-clad female ghost's hand, the blood-red color fluttering and splitting in the air.

In an instant, a large number of blood-red newspapers fluttered in the room, attacking Yang Jian and the female ghost.

Newspapers were placed over the female ghost's face, but as soon as they were stuck on, black blood began to flow from her face, causing the newspapers on her face to rot.

But then several more newspapers were pasted over, temporarily ensnaring the female ghost.

Several newspapers attacked Yang Jian from behind, and red light spread from Yang Jian's body as he opened his ghost domain.

But to his horror and anger, he discovered that the crimson light emanating from his Scarlet Ghost Domain was being easily sliced ​​apart by these blood-red newspapers, and the wounds were difficult to heal in a short time.

The Ghost Realm is a world that revolves around vengeful ghosts, existing between reality and illusion.

Once opened, the ghost or the ghost tamer is essentially in another space, altering distances and distorting scenery. Without special means, they cannot enter, escape, or be attacked, making it extremely powerful.

But Yang Jian now discovered that his ghost domain was being easily torn apart by sheets of blood-red newspaper, as easily as a hot knife cutting through butter.

This ghost can control his ghost eyes!

Yang Jian took a few steps back. Teacher Wang's white-clad female ghost was entangled in a large number of fluttering newspapers. Although they would be rotted by the eerie black blood as soon as they stuck to the newspapers and could not pose a threat for a short time, they were held back.

However, before Yang Jian could come up with a solution, before the Ghost Domain was completely severed, he noticed that fewer and fewer newspapers were floating in the air. One by one, the derivative newspapers turned to ashes and disappeared into the room.

In the original novel, it was not explained in detail when Yang Jian's memory was affected by the newspaper ghost.

There are several possibilities.

One possibility is that his memory was affected a long time ago. The newspaper ghost might be related to his father. After his memory was altered, he didn't do anything unnecessary and lingered around Yang Jian for a long time, maintaining a balance.

However, after Yang Jian became a ghost tamer, he realized something was wrong. After a struggle, he broke free from control, and at the same time, the newspaper ghost went out of control.

——
Secondly, the newspaper ghost just happened to arrive and chose Yang Jian as its target. Yang Jian's memory was only affected by the ghost's proximity; it wasn't completely altered, and he immediately escaped after realizing something was wrong. (This is Yang Jian's own speculation in the original novel; he was affected by the proximity.)
——
Both seem reasonable, but it doesn't matter. Either way, they both connect with the plot I wrote. In both cases, Wang Liang only senses the approaching newspaper ghost after it has been lingering near Yang Jian.
