Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 198 Stacked Lanterns

Wang Liang flashed and appeared at the nailed old man, the one who was nailed to the ground first.

He pulled out the coffin nail, and the old man on the ground trembled, showing signs of revival, but the next second he was nailed to death again by the falling bone spear.

"That's definitely a vengeful ghost. But just now... wait..."

Wang Liang sensed that the old man, who had been submerged in the ghost blood, had disappeared after being washed away by the ghost blood several times.

That wasn't a real vengeful ghost, but rather a composite of supernatural phenomena.

"So it's not a restart, it's an overlay. So what can really be overlaid is the lantern? It can even overlay a vengeful ghost that was nailed to death in a coffin."

"It doesn't matter whether the vengeful spirit is suppressed or not; just shining the candlelight on its form will suffice, right? In a way, this is somewhat effective against coffin nails."

Wang Liang looked at the lantern held by the Slit-Mouthed Woman and immediately realized its value.

If this old ghost hadn't been so unintelligent and so stiff in its movements...

Otherwise, once the lanterns were stacked, they could have easily rescued the nailed original body and even stolen the coffin nails.

Wang Liang used ghost blood to first sink and imprison the real old ghost who had been nailed to the coffin, then controlled the slit-mouthed woman's arm to swing and shake the lantern.

The candlelight inside the lantern flickered, refracting light and shadow, and a new slit-mouthed woman holding a lantern appeared beside it as the light and shadow coalesced.

The new Slit-Mouthed Woman's chilling aura was much weaker, but Wang Liang could still sense that he could control her just as well, and make her unleash her slit mouth and ghostly laughter, though the intensity would be much weaker.

But no matter what, the Slit-Mouthed Woman has been stacked!
This is indeed a supernatural item that can help any vengeful spirit to multiply!

Wang Liang took the lantern from the slit-mouthed woman and looked through the top of the lantern. He could see that what was lit inside was not a candle.

It was a withered finger with a faint white flame burning at its tip!
Even in its dried state, it was thicker than Wang Liang's finger, which shows how thick the bones of this vengeful ghost's finger were.

Wang Liang raised the lantern and shook it.

The flickering candlelight cast an inconsistent light on Wang Liang.

Then, in the place where light and darkness intertwined, a new Wang Liang appeared, also holding a lantern.

A chill ran down the spine behind the superimposed Wang Liang, and a disheveled Sadako slowly peeked out from behind and put her head on 'Wang Liang's' shoulder.

A second Sadako appeared, even stronger than the derivative Sadako summoned by the curse.

Because the Ghost Lantern directly superimposed on Sadako's original body within Wang Liang's body, even after removing one layer, it is still of higher quality than the derived Sadako.

The two Wang Liangs exchanged a glance and nodded to each other. One of the Wang Liangs and Zhenzi behind him then disappeared.

The slit-mouthed woman placed outside was not further superimposed; instead, Wang Liang holding the lantern and Sadako's original body inside the lantern were copied and superimposed by the lantern's candlelight.

Wang Liang had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, and he made connections between the elderly people who had been nailed to the ground and the newly appeared elderly people.

When no one is holding the lantern, the ghost lantern might go out of control and randomly accumulate nearby people or ghosts, which may be why the ghost on the bone spear wasn't accumulated.

However, if someone holds the lantern, it will only be stacked for the person holding the lantern.

Wang Liang's eyes lit up; this was good news.

To avoid anyone getting too close and having their light overlap with the light, which would give them no advantage and could even lead to greater danger.

This is much better now; it can handle many dangerous situations.

He doesn't only have one coffin nail; there's another one abroad, which he can't get along with, so it's always been a threat. But now, as long as he holds the ghost lantern in advance, even if his main body is unexpectedly nailed to death, he has a chance to escape and save himself, and might even be able to seize the other coffin nail.

Wang Liang nodded in satisfaction. This ghost lantern was probably his second biggest gain from this trip after the new movie ghost, and it would give him a better chance when facing that new movie ghost.

Wang Liang was about to throw the ghost lantern into the ghost blood as well, but then he suddenly realized that if he threw it in like that, the white ghost fire inside the lantern wouldn't go out.

But then he shook his head. When the old ghost was nailed to death, the ghost lantern went out when it hit the ground, but then it lit up again.

The fire isn't the key; the main thing is the vengeful finger inside the lantern that acts as a candle.

The ghost finger was fine, but it could ignite at any time; it seemed to possess the ability to spontaneously combust.

Wang Liang threw the lantern into the ghost blood, then picked it up again.

The fire in the lantern did indeed go out, but less than two seconds later, it suddenly reignited with white flames.

"very good."

Wang Liang threw the lantern into the ghost blood, then looked up at the surrounding village.

With less than a minute left before the bus was to depart again, it seemed that no other ghost in the village wanted to get on the bus after the old ghost was dealt with.

Wang Liang even speculated that this village might only have this one terrifying old ghost, but that possibility was unlikely.

With less than ten seconds left before the bus doors closed, Wang Liang turned and walked towards the front door of the bus.

As soon as he got on the bus, Wang Liang could see that the number on the display screen had changed from 6 to 7.

This surprised Wang Liang. Why was it still 7? Didn't a ghost just go down?
After realizing what was happening, Wang Liang abruptly turned his gaze to the car, a strange anger rising within him, his eyes filled with impatient ferocity, as if he had been provoked by a ghost.

This emotion surprised even himself, but he quickly suppressed and ignored it, turning instead to look fiercely ahead, trying to find the ghost.

He had been keeping watch outside the whole time, but he didn't see any ghost get on the bus.

In the end, a ghost still got on the bus right in front of him. This was a challenge to his professionalism. Was it an invisible ghost?

Damn it, why are the people in the car like they're mute? Nobody even reminded them when the numbers changed. Oh, I guess he told them not to talk.

Wang Liang's fierce gaze swept from the front row to the back row, trying to find the ghost.

The people inside the car all kept their heads down, pretending not to see, clearly sensing that Wang Liang was in a bad mood.

As for the reason, they know it too.

Among the passengers sitting in the middle of the carriage, someone glanced at the figure in one of the seats out of the corner of their eye as they looked down.
Wang Liang's gaze swept across the room from front to back, and he easily spotted a row of seats next to the mummified groom. There was also an extra person in the two seats across the aisle next to his seat.

It wasn't the invisible vengeful ghost he had imagined. It was an old woman dressed in an old-fashioned black cloth shirt, slightly hunched over, with wrinkles all over her face, sitting there smiling at him as he got into the car.

On the other seat next to me was a bamboo basket covered with a floral cloth.

This looks just like an old man going to the market in the countryside.

Wang Liang was stunned. He had seen many old men and women since he transmigrated, and had even fought several vengeful ghosts that had been transformed from old men.

However, this is combined with several factors such as buses and bamboo baskets.

The identity of the old woman in front of him immediately popped into his mind.

Meng Xiaodong!
