Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 33 Not So Good
Code name: Ghostly Stink
Hazard level: C
Horror level: C
The killer's modus operandi involved emitting a strong, foul odor from his body, which was corrosive to some extent.

If you get within ten meters of it, ordinary people will feel uncomfortable and experience signs of weakness and fatigue.

If you get within five meters of it, you will see obvious signs of peeling and cracking on your skin.

If you get within one meter, it is speculated that your body will be severely corroded, your flesh will rot, leading to death, and eventually your whole body will decompose to the point where only a skeleton remains.

The triggering conditions for the killings are unclear, but they appear to be random, indiscriminate contact killings.

"Okay, that's all recorded," Su Xinxi said.

Wang Liang said, "Then let's continue."
Code name: Ghost Waves Hand

Hazard level: C
Horror rating: B
The pattern of killing is that the victim will feel their whole body stiffen, their blood congeal, and their heart shatter, an irreversible and inevitable death.

The attacked person's body will die quickly and completely, and the same applies to the demon tamer. Without special means, the body will die within two or three seconds at the latest.

The trigger condition is that the vengeful ghost makes a waving gesture towards the target, or the person being attacked has made a similar waving gesture.

The latter is speculation and has not been verified.

"Yes, that's all recorded now. By the way, may I ask what the suspected and speculative entries in the records are about, and roughly how much of them are true?"

"It's inconvenient. When you're dealing with a paranormal event, can you figure out all the patterns every time? Neither I nor the vengeful ghosts in the paranormal events have that much time and opportunity to confirm the patterns one by one."

"Oh, sorry, should we hand these two vengeful ghosts over to headquarters? Given that there are two vengeful ghosts in this case, the complexity and difficulty have increased. The subsidy for solving this paranormal event will be increased to four million yuan, which will be transferred to you soon."

If you hand over any more imprisoned vengeful spirits, you will receive an additional ten million yuan for each one.

"Need not."

Wang Liang doesn't plan to hand over the vengeful ghosts. He's not short of money right now, and keeping these ghosts might be useful in the future, especially those with a death-inevitable pattern.

These vengeful ghosts are not part of the current Sadako puzzle, but they could very well be part of a future movie or TV ghost puzzle.

"Oh, I see. Wang Liang, you should get some rest."

Su Xinxi let out a breath, and after checking the records of the two vengeful ghosts again, she waved to Zhao Jianguo, who was not far away.

"Captain, Wang Liang has already reported on the paranormal events we handled today, and I've recorded the information."

Zhao Jianguo walked over and carefully examined the ghost files that Su Xinxi had recorded.

"A ghostly stench, a ghostly waving hand? A paranormal event with two vengeful ghosts, one of which is even at the B level of terror, hmm, such a murder pattern is indeed plausible."

According to Gao Yan's report, the matter was resolved within half an hour. To handle such a complex paranormal case so easily on his first day in office, it seems Wang Liang is indeed quite capable; he's a real talent.

Zhao Jianguo sighed a few times, then continued:
"By the way, did you mention to him that you should report the situation to headquarters after handling each paranormal incident? What did he say?"

“I told him, he said he can report anything he can.”

"That's enough. It seems his mental state is quite stable. Communicate with him like this from now on. Tell me anytime if anything happens. You must be patient enough when communicating with ghost tamers. They are people who keep company with vengeful ghosts, and their temperament is inevitably affected."

"Yes, I will communicate patiently," Su Xinxi said firmly.

Compared to what she learned from other operators about the ghost tamer's psychological state and conversational style, Su Xinxi felt that Wang Liang was perfectly normal, except for his tendency to hang up on her, which was already quite good. The next day, Wang Liang stayed home idly, preparing to go to Changxing Road to contact the vengeful ghost at midnight.

However, a group of people arrived at Shuangxi Garden at noon, at the entrance of the villa where Wang Liang lived.

The doorbell rang, and Wang Liang came out wearing flip-flops. He appeared nonchalant on the surface, but in reality, he was on high alert, with the Sadako supernatural power within him ready to erupt at any moment.

After all, he didn't want a repeat of the incident where a wishing ghost came to his door.

These are all experiences and lessons learned.

"who are you?"

Wang Liang sized up the group of people standing outside the door. They looked like a professional team, similar to Zhang Wei's.

However, it's not the mysteriously resurrected Zhang Wei, but the Zhang Wei from Love Apartment.

The group was dressed in matching black suits. The leader was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. Behind him were several tall men in black suits.

Wang Liang sensed that the bespectacled man at the head of the group was somewhat special. Although he appeared very proper, the way he looked at people and his overall demeanor gave him a peculiar feeling.

A demon tamer?
"Mr. Wang Liang, right? The new head of Da'an City. I've heard a lot about you."

"How long?" Wang Liang asked expressionlessly.

Feng Bo, who had brought people to sound out Wang Liang, paused for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile:

"Mr. Wang is quite an interesting person. Let's get back to the main topic. Let me introduce ourselves. We are from the Yongsheng Club, a non-governmental organization of ghost tamers in Da'an City that was established to help each other and share resources among ghost tamers."

We had previously been working with Sun Su, the previous head of Da'an City, but unfortunately, he died in a paranormal incident, which interrupted many of our collaborations.

Therefore, we have come here to discuss with the new person in charge whether we can continue our previous cooperation, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts between us due to factors such as information asymmetry and lack of consensus.

"A contradiction?" Wang Liang looked at the man before him with a half-smile. "What do you want to cooperate with me on?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Our club's business sometimes involves... well, things that are not easy to be open about. As the person in charge, you just need to turn a blind eye. We can give you 10% of the profits, and it is expected to be no less than that every month."

As he spoke, Feng Bo held up two fingers and gestured to Wang Liang.

Two hundred thousand? Two million? Twenty million? Two hundred million? Ha, it can't be twenty thousand, can it?

So what's with this guy messing around with the Riddler? What's he pretending for? Does he think this is a movie?
Wang Liang didn't bother to ask how much money those two fingers represented. The half-smile on his face vanished, replaced by a cold expression as he stared into Feng Bo's eyes, his tone forceful.

"What do you mean by 'not so good'?"

Feng Bo chuckled awkwardly, attempting to steer clear of the question.

"Hehe, it's nothing really, all I need is you, Mr. Wang."

"What is it?"

"Well, it's just about potential missing persons and dealing with some wild ghost riders. This won't really affect Mr. Wang much; on the contrary, he'll gain a lot, making Da'an City more stable. That's why I suggest..."
