Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 201 Welcoming the bride
After leaving Zhangdong Old House, the bus continued its journey along the endless dirt roads.

The road was winding, and the distance was dark and oppressive, making it impossible to see clearly.

The distance between the two stops may be long or short, but this time, the bus drove for a long time without stopping.

The bus had a strong suppressive effect on the evil spirit. After a long and boring ride, Wang Liang felt a heavy weight in his heart and even had the urge to close his eyes and sleep.

It couldn't be from being too tired to sleep, nor could it be from being too bored to sleep.

Since driving the film and television ghost, Wang Liang has been sleeping very little and has very little need for sleep.

Although he was controlling vengeful ghosts that had crashed, these ghosts still subtly influenced him in many ways, causing his daily routine to become inhuman.

So if you feel sleepy on the bus, it's only possible that the bus is suppressing you like a vengeful ghost.

'This is ridiculous, what am I anyway?'

Feeling the subtle suppression on his body, Wang Liang smiled bitterly to himself, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, does it matter whether it's a ghost or not?

Looking out the car window, Wang Liang recalled the words Meng Xiaodong had said to him after getting out of the car, and thought to himself:

'I feel like I am Wang Liang, and that's enough. Enough.'

As time passed, the road the bus traveled on changed from a dirt road to a highway, and rows of streetlights standing on both sides of the highway illuminated the surroundings.

But the bus didn't arrive in reality, because a county town appeared ahead.

With its completely old-fashioned architectural style, you can't find a county town like this anywhere else in the country.

Wang Liang, who had been half-closing his eyes, suddenly perked up, sat up straight, and turned to look out the car window.

'A county town in a supernatural land? Yes, there is such a bus stop. It's a dangerous county town. In the original story, even if Sister Hong, the reincarnation of Zhang Youhong (one of the Seven Elders), wanted to go deep into the county town, Yang Jian had to act as the bus driver to meet her outside. What a troublesome place!'

Wang Liang became more vigilant; the bus had been traveling for so long that it would probably stop somewhere in this ghost town.

I just don't know where it will stop; there should be multiple stops in this county.

The bus continued its journey, driving along the highway into the county town.

The county town was extremely quiet, the streets were deserted, not a soul in sight, like a dead city.

However, the streetlights along the road remained on as usual, and the signs of some shops on both sides were lit up with colorful neon lights, preventing this quiet county town from falling into complete darkness.

Soon, the bus began to slow down, preparing to stop at the station.

At this moment, not only Wang Liang, but also the other living passengers in the car became alert and cautiously observed the county town outside the car.

The bus finally stopped in front of an old hotel on the side of the street. There was a telephone pole outside the hotel with a wooden sign hanging in the middle of it.

There were large red smear marks on the wooden sign, as if some words had been written on it in red pen, but they had been erased by something.

Only the faint traces left by smearing suggest that a child's hand scribbled on it, erasing the writing.

There was even a fairly clear half of a child's handprint remaining on the edge of the wooden board, blood red in color, which looked extremely eerie.

boom.

The sound of the bus doors opening, both at the front and back, was somewhat jarring in the otherwise silent county town.

Wang Liang looked out the open rear door at the old hotel directly opposite him, his brow furrowing slightly. Could it be the hotel ghost wanting to get in the car?
As for whether there are ghosts in the hotel, don't be ridiculous. How could a hotel in such a haunted place not be haunted?

The hotel door was open, but a curtain hung on it, blocking the view inside.

But the lights were on inside, and light shone through the gaps in the curtains, indicating that the hotel was open for business.

As the bus stopped here, the light behind the hotel curtains changed, suggesting that someone was moving around on the first floor of the hotel and was about to leave.

The living passengers on the bus stared silently at the hotel curtain, wondering what kind of vengeful ghost would emerge.

Some people also turned their attention to Wang Liang, wondering if he would make a move at this station.

when!
The ghost inside the hotel hadn't come out yet, but a loud gong suddenly rang out from the front of the bus, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

But when they looked over, their pupils all contracted, including Wang Liang's.

Because at the intersection a short distance ahead of the bus, a large group of people were turning from the street on the right, forming a line, and entering the street where the bus was located.

That was a wedding procession!
Two men were walking at the front, laughing and joking, banging on a gong and skipping along.

What's strange is that no matter how much they jump, they always stand on tiptoe, and their heels never touch the ground.

The county town became lively as the sound of gongs heralded the arrival of the procession.

Then came the sounds of drums and suonas, all mixed together, instantly breaking the deathly silence in the county town.

Everyone in the wedding procession was dressed in bright red, looking very festive.

They all wore smiles, but those smiles never changed at all, looking stiff and eerie.

In the middle of the procession, eight people carried a bridal sedan chair, raising their legs high each time they carried it forward, seemingly to appear more energetic and festive.

A tall horse walked in front of the bridal sedan chair, with a red flower hanging from its neck, but there was no one on board.

Inside the bus, someone witnessed this scene and was so shocked that they forgot Wang Liang's earlier warning to everyone to be quiet. At that moment, they instinctively stammered:

"There's actually a wedding procession in this godforsaken place!"

These words broke the deathly silence in the car, and someone else said in a deep voice:

"Paper figures, those are all paper figures!"

Lin Bei had woken up at some point, and his slightly immature face under his baseball cap looked at the line of cars in front of him with a serious expression.

As the wedding procession entered the street, it became clear that the people in the procession no longer looked normal.

Whether it's the gong banging, the drum beating, or even the horse and the wedding sedan chair, everything is clearly made of paper, with obvious wrinkles on the surface.

This is a wedding procession made entirely of paper, but now it has all come to life in a strange way, creating a lively scene.

Lin Bei turned his serious gaze to Wang Liang, who was sitting in the middle of the carriage, and said quickly:

"Wang Liang, we have to do something. If these ghosts get on the bus, it will be packed. If they don't get on, they're blocking the bus's path after it starts moving. If there's a collision, the bus risks stalling."

This weird bus follows a certain route, and I don't know if it will turn and give way to these ghosts. Anyway, the wedding procession doesn't seem to be giving way.

Furthermore, the custom for wedding processions is to not turn back or give way. The behavior of vengeful ghosts is inherently rigid and inflexible; now that a wedding procession has formed, I estimate that this group of paper ghost figures will not avoid the bus; they will definitely follow the custom.
