Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 194 The Figure Behind the Tree (Third Update)

'A mummified groom? Ha, no one would believe it if you said it had nothing to do with the mummified bride from the Zhangdong old house.'

Wang Liang stared at the mummified groom for a moment, then looked away.

He glanced at the empty seats, finally chose one, walked over, and sat down in an empty seat near the rear door.

This is the seat closest to the rear door, making it very convenient for him to get out of the car or reach out.

Wang Liang sat down in two seats side by side, and sitting next to him was the mummified groom.
But Wang Liang remained unfazed, showing no concern that the person sitting next to him was a vengeful ghost.

The evil spirits won't attack you on the bus. The pattern of their killings is blocked by the bus. As long as you don't provoke them or if the bus stops or the engine is off, there won't be any problems.

Even if there are problems, it's okay. Wang Liang is confident that he can suppress the withered, emaciated man beside him.

The five-minute stop was over, the two doors of the bus slammed shut, and it started moving forward slowly, gradually increasing its speed.

The car's dim headlights illuminated the city road ahead, vaguely revealing a dirt road just wide enough for one vehicle to pass through.

The city streets ahead were blurry, and the ghost bus drove into the blur, disappearing from the streets of Da'an City and heading towards an unknown place.

At the bus stop, Xu Yin's pupils constricted as she watched the bus that had appeared and then mysteriously disappeared. She could only hope that Brother Wang's trip would go smoothly.

He took out his walkie-talkie and began notifying others to lift the lockdown on the streets.

After passing through various locations, the ghost bus once again left reality and arrived in an unknown, supernatural place.

The light outside the window quickly dimmed, and the outside world became dark.

Only the two dim yellow headlights at the front of the car illuminated a winding dirt road that stretched into the depths of darkness.

After a while, a voice came from the back of the quiet carriage.

"Hey friend, are you a human or a ghost?"

After holding back for a while, Lin Bei finally couldn't help but ask Wang Liang, who was sitting in the middle of the carriage.

The man in the black coat didn't look like a ghost; he had even spoken with Lu Jun outside just now.

Lin Bei has never seen a talking ghost in his life.

But Lin Bei had been watching this person the whole time and hadn't lowered his head once.

He had just witnessed it with his own eyes: after the mysterious man got into the car, the display screen showing the number of ghosts in the car actually flashed a number!
Either an invisible, vengeful ghost followed this person onto the bus, or...
Lin Bei frowned, watching Wang Liang's retreating figure, waiting for Wang Liang's reply.

"I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Now I remember, he's Wang Liang, of course he's a person," Xu Feng suddenly said in a deep voice.

"That was Da'an City, right? Wang Liang, the person in charge of Da'an City, just joined headquarters a month ago. As soon as he took office, he cleared out all the paranormal events in Da'an City. He is also one of the few people in the country who has solved A-level paranormal events. Am I right, Wang Liang?"

Xu Feng looked at Wang Liang with a serious expression, but there was something he didn't say.

Not only was that Class A incident resolved, but the terrifying ghosts within were also controlled by this person.

This incident caused quite a stir in the domestic paranormal community at the time, and it was then that he learned of Wang Liang's name and read Wang Liang's file.

Last time at Blood Lake, he was startled by Wang Liang, who suddenly appeared, as soon as he got on the bus.

The time was too short, and he didn't realize what was happening. He kept thinking that some vengeful ghost had attacked the bus from the side.

It wasn't until he took a closer look that Xu Feng finally remembered who this person was.

However, Xu Feng was also puzzled as to why Wang Liang was in that supernatural place before.
The other passengers in the car didn't react, seemingly pretending to be asleep, but most of them had actually pricked up their ears and listened carefully when Lin Bei and Xu Feng started talking.

Hearing Xu Feng's words, they were slightly startled. The person who could defeat Lu Jun in an instant was indeed extraordinary.

"Xu Feng, the person in charge of Xiaochun City?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Liang looked towards the back row.

He had memorized the headquarters' records and knew what Xu Feng, the person in charge, looked like; it was definitely him.

That guy next to me must be Lin Bei, one of the captains who will be added later.

"You were already missing at headquarters, how come you're here?"

“It’s me,” Xu Feng said in a deep voice. “Did headquarters send you to find me? How did you know this bus would stop here?”

"You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in finding you. I have my own purpose in coming here, but you don't need to know." Wang Liang turned his head. "You..."

Xu Feng was taken aback, and almost wanted to reprimand and interrogate Wang Liang in the same way he had done to Lin Bei when they first boarded the bus, adopting the attitude of a person in charge and a senior ghost tamer.

But when he thought of the strength Wang Liang had just demonstrated, he reluctantly chose to hold back and not ask any more questions.

"Well, so your name is Wang Liang. If you're a decent person, then I won't ask any more questions. By the way, my name is Lin Bei. Let's get acquainted." Lin Bei scratched his head.

“Lin Bei, a college student at the Buddhist Academy, I know you,” Wang Liang said.

"You know someone like me who's not well-known? I'm honored." Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled on the surface, his words carrying a hidden question.

“Don’t be surprised, I have a pretty good memory, I’ve just looked at a lot of files,” Wang Liang said calmly.

"So that's how it is. You even dug up Lu Jun's past experiences. It seems you have a really good memory."

Lin Bei smiled and said something, then raised his hand to pull his baseball cap down a little, shrank back in his seat and didn't say anything more, as if he was going to sleep.

No one spoke anymore, and the carriage fell into an eerie silence once again.

As time passed, the eerie bus continued its journey through the eerie land, eventually entering a gloomy forest.

The trees on both sides were not dead; although they were crooked, their branches and leaves were lush and intertwined, covering the top and casting shadows that made the place even darker.

Without the two dim yellow headlights of the bus, this place would be completely swallowed by darkness, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The winding dirt road stretches into the depths of the forest, with the trees on both sides resembling eerie, standing figures in the darkness.

'No! It's not just similar!'

Wang Liang's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked out the window.

By the dim light of the bus headlights, he could vaguely see a figure hiding behind a tree, peeking out half of its dark form and watching the passing bus.

There was more than one; many dark shadows lurked behind trees in the forest, creating an eerie and sinister atmosphere.

As the bus drove by, I could vaguely make out dozens of dark figures along the way, and there were even more ahead.

I don't know if those figures in the darkness are ghost servants or real vengeful spirits, but I'm certain they're not human.

The other people in the car also saw the eerie woods outside and the strange figures swaying in the woods.

'They wouldn't park here, would they? How many ghosts are going to get on? It's not going to be fully loaded, is it?'

Some people were worried and secretly prayed that the car wouldn't stop there, since it was already half full.

Once the bus is full, and more evil spirits board, the living must give up their seats for the ghosts.

You can't even stand in the aisle; you have to sit down, otherwise the bus might stall.

To extinguish a fire in this place is no different from being dead.

As the bus drove on, the passengers noticed that the dark figures emerging from the woods were getting closer and closer to the dirt road the bus was traveling on.

The further the bus drove, the dark shadows behind the trees on both sides became more and more hidden behind the trees as it approached the dirt road.

There's a subtle trend of them gradually surrounding us, and in the end, they might just stand in the middle of the dirt road and stop cars.

Being stopped by a bus could cause it to stall, which is even more terrifying than a full bus – it's a sure-fire way to die.

So even those who were alive in the car couldn't do anything, they all perked up at this moment, and even a few who were pretending to be asleep opened their eyes and stared nervously out the window.

Fortunately, some people's prayers seemed to work, and the bus did not stop there.

After the bus had been traveling for more than ten minutes on the dirt road through the woods, the dark figures in the woods grew ever closer.

Some even emerged directly from behind the trees, revealing their pale faces, and stood stiffly on both sides of the dirt road. Their next step would probably be to stand directly in the middle of the road.

But then, the bus's dim headlights flickered, and the road ahead became blurry.

The bus plunged into the eerie forest and disappeared, heading towards a new supernatural location.

This is really good! I was surprised. Thank you all for your support. Here's the third update. More tomorrow.

By the way, here's a picture of the interior of the ghost bus on the next page to celebrate. It looks really atmospheric, so be careful when transitioning between scenes! ~_~
