Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 190 Bloodstained Straw

"Yes, it's Teacher Wang."

Liu Qi was very excited to see Wang Liang.

"Back in No. 7 Middle School, Teacher Wang fought against that old ghost who was knocking on the door. That's how we had a chance to run away from the classroom. Now you believe me, right? There really are ghosts."

As he spoke, Liu Qi's excitement faded, replaced by a hint of fear, and he sighed inwardly at his bad luck.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. I'll take care of things here first," Wang Liang said.

He looked at the old woman being pressed down by Sadako, then shifted his gaze to the back hall, his ghostly aura expanding and contracting.

The next second, an old man appeared in front of him. Before he could make a move, Wang Liang grabbed him by the neck and immobilized him.

“They are my grandfathers.” Liu Qi asked nervously, “Teacher Wang, why did they become ghosts after they died? Is it because they were people like you and Yang Jian before?”

Wang Liang shook his head. After grabbing the old man, the slit-mouthed woman invaded his body, and he knew what was wrong with the old man.

"They are not ghosts, nor do they have any real vengeful spirits inside them; they are entangled in a curse."

"curse?"

As Wang Liang gripped the old man's hand, streaks of scarlet blood seeped out and then seeped into the old man's body.

The old man's body trembled strangely, and his limbs twitched from time to time, as if something inside was trying to escape.

"This"

Liu Qi and his parents stood behind, watching this scene with unease.

Finally, the old man opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body returned to calm, and the eerie smile on his face disappeared.

Wang Liang released the old man, who had become a normal corpse, and looked at the mouthful of blood the old man had just spat out.

Amidst the thick, cold ghost blood, a wisp of red straw floated. It wasn't just stained red by the ghost blood; it was an eerie red straw in its entirety.

Sadako's hands, which were pressing down on the old woman, also oozed demon blood, which seeped into the old woman's body.

The old woman's body trembled, and she finally coughed up a mouthful of blood before falling silent.

A wisp of yellow straw floated in the mouthful of blood the old woman spat out, looking just like ordinary straw.

Wang Liang retrieved the ghost blood.

The two strands of straw, freed from the ghost's blood pressure, crawled and approached each other on the ground like insects.

Finally, they came into contact and became entangled, forming a wisp of straw that was half yellow and half red, like it had been stained with blood.

Wang Liang picked it up and examined it with a frown.

After he picked it up, the straw in his hand seemed to come alive, writhing and even piercing his fingers, trying to burrow inside.

A bit of straw pierced his finger, and Wang Liang could feel the straw absorbing his blood and life force.

The straw in his hand had also grown slightly longer, thus increasing its absorption capacity.

He had more or less figured it out: the straw wasn't a vengeful ghost, but it did come from one, making it a supernatural phenomenon.

If the yellow and red straws are separated, staying in two different bodies is equivalent to being restricted separately, so nothing will happen and they won't have the ability to suck blood.

However, this would bind the lives of two host entities together; if one dies, the other also dies.

When a person dies, the corpse is controlled by the straw within its body, instinctively seeking another person, another kind of straw, and only calming down upon approaching them. Moreover, with the corpse acting as a confinement vessel, even if they get close, they will not truly merge together.

But if it is separated from the corpse and then rejoined, it will become a bloodsucking straw.

If this straw were to penetrate the body completely, it could drain a person dry.

The straw can grow to the point of filling a person's entire body, turning them into a scarecrow from the inside out. At that point, that person would likely become a slave to some vengeful ghost.

"A scarecrow ghost? Ha."

Wang Liang, possessed by the cleavage-snout female spirit, rubbed the blood-sucking straw in his hand vigorously, and it instantly turned to ashes and disappeared.

"Alright, the two old people are now just ordinary corpses. We can proceed with the normal burial."

Wang Liang turned to look at Liu Qi, whose sensitivity to the supernatural was not weak either, just not as good as Yang Jian's.

Even if he hadn't come this time, Liu Qi would have eventually discovered the pattern and solved this paranormal event, but at a high price.

In the normal storyline, Liu Qi eventually grew into a reserve captain, but unfortunately he still didn't become an outcast. The vengeful ghost revived, but that was enough to demonstrate his potential.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Liang looked at Liu Qi.

"Liu Qi, I have other things to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. After all that you've been through, if you want to know more or have any thoughts, come find me at Tianhuan Building in Da'an City."

After patting Liu Qi on the shoulder and nodding politely to Liu Qi's parents, Wang Liang was enveloped in a gray light and disappeared from the spot.

This elicited a brief gasp from Liu Qi's parents, while Liu Qi stared thoughtfully at the spot where Wang Liang had disappeared.

After resolving Liu Qi's matter, Wang Liang returned to Da'an City, retrieved the hunchbacked ghost from the safe house, and then traveled through the Ghost Realm to Z City without stopping.

Wang Liang returned just over ten minutes after parting ways with Tong Qian.

Tong Qian was still outside the Caesars Hotel when staff entered, took away the survivors, and checked the hotel's security measures.

Wang Liang found Tong Qian in the crowd, took her to a quiet room, and began to change the ghost for her.

Tong Qian had just reported the matter of replacing the ghost to headquarters, which led to another meeting and argument at headquarters.

Some suggested not interfering, believing that Wang Liang was sensible and that obtaining the Ghost Face and gaining greater strength was a good thing.

Some suggested stopping it immediately and replacing the person in charge? What a joke! If we lose a person in charge, the impact would be too bad. Then, should we deal with Wang Liang or not?

But it seems this meeting won't yield any results in the short term, and they didn't expect Wang Liang to return so quickly.

On Wang Liang and Tong Qian's side, the ghost swapping began. With the newspaper ghost's supernatural presence, the swapping process went even more smoothly than Wang Liang had imagined.

If it's another kind of vengeful ghost, it might be more troublesome. We need to find a way to separate the vengeful ghost that is deeply residing in the ghost tamer's body without killing the ghost tamer.

However, Tong Qian was wielding a ghost face, and Wang Liang easily tore it off using the ghostly tearing effect brought by the newspaper ghost, without affecting Tong Qian much.

Tong Qian's body was not severely affected by the resurgence of the vengeful spirits. She was much better off than those ghost tamers whose bodies were no longer human or ghostly. She did not rely on the vengeful spirits to maintain her life and could not live without them.

So after her face was torn off, Tong Qian even managed to briefly become an ordinary person.

After all, he had been corrupted by a vengeful ghost, so his body was very weak. If he were to get checked, they would find that he had many problems, both big and small.

So it's still necessary to control the evil spirit, but helping Tong Qian control the hunchbacked ghost is a bit risky, as it's equivalent to helping an ordinary person control an evil spirit.
