Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 196 The Grassroots

Among the rice paddies, the vengeful ghost only revealed its swollen head above the water, silently watching Wang Liang on the stone platform.

Then the second one, and the third one.
More than a dozen heads emerged from the murky, dark water, each only showing its head.

Their numb eyes were all fixed on Wang Liang, their gazes filled with an eerie calmness, like that of a dead object.

Wang Liang's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the ghost that appeared in the water, ready to fight at any moment, but he felt no fear.

The atmosphere was quiet, and Wang Liang and the vengeful ghost in the water seemed to be in a silent standoff.

The ghosts in the water only peeked out; they didn't come up.

It's possible that he wasn't planning to get on the bus, or it's possible that Wang Liang didn't trigger their killing patterns.

As for their killing patterns, Wang Liang's eyes darted to the side.

As he walked over, he seemed to have stepped on some water stains left by the swollen female corpse.

Most of the water droplets had mysteriously flowed back into the rice paddies, but some shallow water stains remained on the stone platform, which gave Wang Liang a guess.

Wang Liang counted down in his mind. At four minutes and fifty seconds, he suddenly stepped on a puddle of water.

Then, enveloped in the ghostly aura, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared at the front door of the bus, stepping onto the bus.

The front and rear doors of the bus slammed shut with a bang the second after Wang Liang boarded, and the bus started moving forward again.

Outside the car, in the rice paddies, as soon as Wang Liang stepped into the water, the heads floating in the water suddenly shrank back down.

The straw was constantly being parted and swayed, and more than a dozen ripples quickly approached the stone platform.

Swollen, rotting hands clung to the stone platform, and the wet corpses from the water all climbed onto it.

But the bus had already left the station, driving along the dirt road and gradually becoming blurry, about to enter the next haunted place.

More than a dozen floating corpses staggered out, their swollen bare feet running along the dirt road, but they were getting further and further away from the bus.

After getting into the car, Wang Liang saw the floating corpses that couldn't catch up with him through the car window and chuckled.

I couldn't resist provoking him a bit, and I didn't expect that this ghost's killing pattern really was stepping on water stains. His judgment was correct.

Shifting his gaze back to the car, he saw pairs of eyes staring at him in disbelief.

Wang Liang stopped smiling, walked back to his seat, and sat down to wait for the next stop.

The bus continued on its way, and the interior was quiet.

After driving for a few minutes in a new, dimly lit area, someone in the car couldn't help but speak.

Xu Feng, sitting in the last row, opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Wang Liang's back with fear in his eyes.

So he changed his mind and said in a deep voice:

"Wang Liang, what exactly do you want to do here? You're not planning to deal with the vengeful ghosts in these haunted places, are you?"

"Heh, you're in for a disappointment. You can't handle it all. The number of ghosts in this place is beyond your imagination; no one can completely eliminate them."

Wang Liang didn't even turn his head, and calmly said, "I said, my coming here has nothing to do with you, and I don't need to explain to you. You should all feel lucky that you're all sitting obediently in the car. At least while I was getting on the car, I dealt with any of the evil spirits that wanted to get on, which will greatly reduce the chances of the car being full."

Xu Feng said, "But even if you have the ability, you can't just act recklessly. I'm afraid you'll mess with those ghosts who want to get on the bus, and if you don't handle it well, it will affect us. Just now, more than a dozen fierce ghosts escaped. Next time, there might be more, or they might even get on the bus directly. That would be bad."

Xu Feng had barely finished speaking when someone in the car interrupted him with a cold laugh:
"Don't talk nonsense, Xu Feng. Who's talking to you as 'we'? I wholeheartedly support Wang Liang in dealing with those ghosts who got on the bus."

The ghost that tried to get on the bus has already been dealt with, and the ghosts that chased after it failed to get on. What does that mean? It means they know their limits. So what are you yelling about now?

"Yeah, Xu Feng, why are you talking so much? Wouldn't it be better to just stay honest and work your life away from home?"

Someone scoffed, "Hilarious! Maybe Xu Feng is trying to help the big boss out by dealing with those ghosts who got on the bus, isn't that right, Xu Feng?"

Xu Feng's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at the last person who had spoken.

"Zhao Jie, do you believe I can make it impossible for you to make a living outside with just one word?"

The ghost tamer named Zhao Jie crossed his arms and sneered, "I'm so scared! Have you forgotten where this is? This is a damn supernatural bus!"

"I'm already on this ghost bus, what am I afraid of? Don't try to act all high and mighty like a manager, it won't work. Do you think you're Manager Wang? I admire those people who can handle the ghosts on the bus. Can you? You wouldn't know anything, just keep playing dead."

Someone added in a sinister tone, "Wang Liang, I have a feeling Xu Feng doesn't like you. How about we throw him off for you at the next stop? You won't need to lift a finger."

“I agree. My brother Wang is in charge of the ghosts outside the car, but when he comes back, he still gets called by certain people inside the car. It’s necessary to clean them up,” someone echoed.

Seeing all these opportunists siding with Wang Liang and not a single one speaking up for him, Xu Feng's face turned ugly.

These people actually wanted to get rid of him, which made him realize that he wasn't the only one with the idea of ​​killing others.

This is going to be bad! Xu Feng quickly looked at Wang Liang and said:
"Wang Liang, I'm also in charge. Are you just going to watch these people prepare to deal with me?"

"Enough." Wang Liang interrupted everyone with an icy expression. "Your affairs are none of my business. Have you forgotten what I said before? Anyone who dares to say another word will be thrown out, including Xu Feng."

Xu Feng shut his mouth with a grim expression, and the others in the car also remained silent, only sneering inwardly.

Xu Feng, after acting like a jerk, tried to climb the social ladder again, but now even his position as the person in charge is useless. Laughable, they don't even bother with him.

A deathly silence fell over the car again. Xu Feng sat in the back with a gloomy expression, while Lin Bei was still asleep.

As time passed, the eerie bus continued its journey, but the surrounding scenery began to change.

In the dim light, the outline of a village appeared ahead.

Furthermore, judging from the bus's route, it was going to follow a dirt road directly into the village.

Wang Liang peered out the car window at the village. In a place like this, there were no normal villages; there must be ghosts inside.

As the bus entered the village, there were old, dilapidated wooden houses with blue tiles on both sides, giving the village a sense of history.

The ground was overgrown with weeds, and some of the windows of the houses were broken, leaving only empty holes.

The entire village looked deserted. Buses passed through it, and the dilapidated houses made people feel depressed.

After traveling some distance, a bus stop suddenly appeared on the road where the bus was passing.

The modern bus stop looks out of place against the backdrop of the dilapidated village, as if it had been temporarily moved from somewhere else.
