Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 178 Dismemberment
"call."

Wang Liang exhaled and noticed the Weirdness Value; it had increased significantly, but there were no other indications.

'Strange, is there no suitable vengeful spirit to control? Or is there another reason? Is it because Li Qingzhi's consciousness hasn't completely dissipated, or because he wasn't dismembered thoroughly enough?' Wang Liang wondered.

He picked up the wood-chopping knife from the ground. The knife felt cold to the touch; the blade was dull and rusty, as if it would break with a single cut.

But it is a deadly weapon for slaying ghosts, incredibly sharp when used to cut down fierce spirits.

Wang Liang raised his wood-chopping knife, looked down at the tall corpse in front of him, now split in two, and said again:

"excuse me."

After speaking, he brought his knife down, slashing at the left arm of the male corpse's upper body, easily severing it.

A bloody line also appeared around Wang Liang's left shoulder. His body swayed, and his arm fell off.

If the hatchet wasn't given to the derivative Sadako, the derivative Sadako would dissipate after making one cut, and as a derivative, it couldn't fully withstand the backlash, so it would still trace back to him.

He didn't give the machete to the Slit-Mouthed Woman either, because the Slit-Mouthed Woman should be able to withstand the side effects of the attack and wouldn't cause him any harm.

But the Slit-Mouthed Woman is not like the Ghost Shadow of Yang Jian; if she is slashed a few more times, she might be dismembered and silenced by the side effects of the woodcutter's knife.

Even if he can recover, it will be very slow, and during this time he will most likely be unable to control the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

So you might as well do it yourself; if all else fails, you can always restart.

After severing the male corpse's left arm, Wang Liang continued to sever the corpse's legs, but he also lost both legs at the same time and collapsed in a pool of blood.

But he still has his right hand, so he can still chop.

With another swipe of his blade, Wang Liang severed the male corpse's neck. Before his own head fell off, he managed to deliver one last blow, chopping off the male corpse's right arm.

At this point, Wang Liang died, his body tragically broken into several pieces.

But soon, a new Wang Liang emerged from the ghost blood.

The male corpse on the ground was different; it had been cut into two pieces, severely dismembered.

"not yet?"

Wang Liang frowned, somewhat disappointed, but could only shake his head.

It seems that Li Qingzhi's ghost body is not suitable for the Slit-Mouthed Woman, or perhaps it is really related to Li Qingzhi's lingering consciousness.

Unfortunately, if she could absorb the demon within Li Qingzhi's body, the Slit-Mouthed Woman could use the Demon Cleaver at a very low cost.

But now, the cost of using the Ghost Cleaver is too high, and the medium is also difficult to trigger.

Moreover, the Ghost Chopping Knife is Yang Jian's most effective means of attack in the original storyline. It has even been jokingly said that Yang Jian is all supernatural and only provides support, while his attack power depends entirely on his knife.

However, before Yang Jian masters the ability to restart or becomes a ghost-like being, he cannot use the Ghost Chopping Knife; a single strike would result in his immediate death.

Wang Liang can use it, but since he doesn't have a ghostly presence, he can't unleash the full potential of this supernatural weapon.

It's difficult for him to trigger the medium of the Ghost Cleaver. Currently, the only ghostly supernatural power he possesses that can be used to cover marks through contact is ghost blood.

But Wang Liang had just stepped on the ghost blood and was holding a wood-chopping knife, but he hadn't summoned any medium. Blood was ultimately less effective than a formless and intangible shadow.

While getting close enough to attack can make this weapon effective, the side effects are too great.

If a fatal blow is delivered, Wang Liang will have to undergo a completely different restart.

His unconventional reboot is not a quick restart; it will inevitably waste a few seconds.

If every cut forces a forced restart, overall, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages; it's too much trouble.

Fortunately, the sheer terror of his supernatural output far surpasses that of Yang Jian, whose combat power would be significantly weakened without his woodcutter's knife, making the knife unnecessary for him. However, now that Li Qingzhi has been captured and the Ghost Woodcutter's Knife is in his hands, it can be kept for now and used in crucial moments.

He wanted to have a backup plan and didn't want to affect Yang Jian's supernatural path.

But since the item is in his hands anyway, and Yang Jian can't use it now, it can be exchanged with Yang Jian after he becomes an alien, so that it can be used to its fullest potential.

Thinking this, Wang Liang used ghost blood to sink the ghost woodcutter's knife, but failed to sink the several pieces of Li Qingzhi's corpse.

Li Qingzhi's ghostly body had begun to revive and wriggle. It seemed to be a special kind of ghostly rotten flesh that could quickly heal cuts. It would probably be pieced back together in just a few minutes.

Just take Ghost Chai Dao with you; Li Qingzhi isn't of much use to him, so let's leave him at the Caesar Hotel.

Li Qingzhi's corpse would linger in the hotel corridor to suppress the wandering evil spirits; even without the machete, it could still play a certain role.

Wang Liang wasn't worried that the Caesars Hotel would get out of control because Li Qingzhi had lost his machete, because it was already gradually getting out of control, just not seriously.

Even without Li Qingzhi and the woodcutter's knife, this haunted place still serves to imprison evil spirits, so it won't significantly impact reality for at least a year or two.

As for a year or two later, either he will imprison a group of film and television ghosts with terrifying strength, or he will be killed by one of them and die. In any case, there is no need to worry about this place.

"I feel like I've forgotten something. Oh right, the missionary's tapes."

Wang Liang slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten something.

He made a hundred copies of that thing, and he still has ninety-nine of them in his possession.

He had intended to throw it to Li Qingzhi so he could chop it up and give it to the missionaries, but now Li Qingzhi was in pieces.
"Forget it, I'll try again later. It won't work now."

The machete was in his hand, ready to chop at any moment.

But to kill missionaries, a trigger is required.

He couldn't wield the knife himself, otherwise he might dismember the Sadako inside him.

Therefore, the Slit-Mouthed Woman is the best choice for a sword-wielding demon, but once she wields her sword, she will also be attacked and dismembered.

The interior of the Caesars Hotel is still very dangerous, and Wang Liang cannot afford to suppress one of his key vengeful spirits now.

After dealing with Li Qingzhi, before Li Qingzhi could reassemble the corpse and the vengeful ghost could revive, Wang Liang and Wang Genquan continued deeper into the corridor.

The room numbers here are not arranged in complete order. It's fine at first, but the further you go in, the more disordered they become.

Some corridors are severely disorganized; the room on the left might be number 56, but the room opposite might be number 112.

However, as the investigation progressed, the range of house numbers generally showed a trend of increasing from small to large.

After walking through two more corridors, Wang Genquan led the way to a dimly lit corridor on the right.

Crack!

The crisp sound of shattering glass came from one of the rooms in the corridor.

"very good."

Wang Liang smiled, patted Wang Genquan on the shoulder, and strode over there.

Wang Genquan hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"If you want to control that ghost, you can first find a mirror, and then slowly enter the room."

The vengeful ghost can see through reflective glass or mirrors and unleash its curse. However, if you bring a mirror in, allowing the ghost to see its reflection at first glance, it will release the curse into the mirror, which will then reflect back onto you.

Perhaps then there would be a chance to freeze the vengeful ghost in place, at which point it would be safer to attempt to control it.

However, this was just my past speculation; I haven't tested it.
