Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 41 Night walk in brocade clothes?

After tidying up the things in the car, Wang Liang didn't rush to drive away. Instead, he opened the car door, got out, and walked to Changxing Road next door again.

When I arrived at the intersection on Changxing Road where the incident occurred, sure enough, the old woman was no longer there.

The vengeful ghost did indeed appear at midnight and disappear at 2:30 AM, which is consistent with the records.

After disappearing, the old ghost will go to the haunted place corresponding to Changxing Road and stay there until midnight the next day, repeating the disappearance and reappearance in a regular pattern.

We've pretty much figured out the pattern. Tomorrow night will be the time to lock up this terrifying old ghost.

It was only at this point that Wang Liang returned to his car and drove back to his residence in Shuangxi Jiayuan.

Rewind a bit, to when Wang Liang set off that evening to make his first contact with the Changxing Road incident.

Feng Bo arranged for one of his men to keep an eye on Wang Liang, and as soon as Wang Liang left, the man immediately relayed the message back to the Yong Sheng Club.

Upon receiving the news, Feng Bo immediately went to the top floor of the club and told Wu Chao.

"Ah Chao, Wang Liang has been out again. Judging from the direction he's heading, he's probably going to deal with the burning of paper money on Changxing Road."

Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Wu Chao's eyes never left his phone, which was playing a game called "Honor of Kings," a game he was completely addicted to.

"Old Feng, please wait a moment."

Wu Chao cleared his throat, activated the game's voice chat function, and calmly called out:
"Support, please turn on your microphone to communicate."

After a few seconds, the phone emitted a frustrated voice, like that of a primary school student.

"Hey?!"

"Hey you motherfucker! You son of a bitch, do you even know how to play? If you don't know how, I'll f*** you, you son of a bitch (three minutes of cursing omitted here)."

【fail.】

The game base exploded, and the word "defeat" popped up, marking the end of this "battle to protect family members".

Wu Chao took a sip of the drink on the table to soothe his dry throat before looking at Feng Bo.

"Okay, what's up, Lao Feng?"

Feng Bo was somewhat speechless, but he still repeated what he had said when he entered the room.

"Oh, so you've gone off to deal with paranormal events again." Wu Chao leaned back on the sofa, his eyes bored. "I really don't understand these people. Sun Su is one, and this guy surnamed Wang is another. They won't take money. What's money if not money? The money I give them and the money those rich businessmen give them, aren't they all money?"

"I thought that with Sun Su gone, the next one would be better, but I didn't expect him to be an even crazier than Sun Su. He went to deal with two supernatural incidents on his first day in office. Tsk, he's got a death wish."

Wu Chao shook his head with a smile, his eyes revealing disdain.

"Old Feng, what are you thinking? Should we get rid of him tonight?"

Feng Bo adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said calmly:

"Since he and Sun Su are similar types, neither of them can tolerate our kind of shady business, then it's best to take it down. But not recently, it has to be some time later. After all, the Ghost Rider headquarters will definitely be able to find out about my visit today."

He died the very day I visited him after he took office; that would be too obvious.

However, it's best to put some club matters on hold for now, and avoid any conflict with him in the time leading up to his death.

"Alright." Wu Chao lay down on the soft sofa. "Old Feng, you handle this matter. It doesn't matter if that guy lives a little longer, or if we earn less money."

Feng Bo nodded and walked outside.

In truth, Feng Bo's real opinion on this matter was that ignoring it was fine; why insist on clashing with the official officials? The club had already earned enough money to spend it however they wanted in Da'an City, enjoying all sorts of luxuries.

Those who control ghosts have short lifespans. Even Feng Bo himself wouldn't dare say he could live past a year without using supernatural abilities. Wu Chao is stronger than him, but he will also face the problem of vengeful ghosts resurrecting.

So why risk taking down the heads of the headquarters one after another just to make money from the club's shady business?
As Feng Bo rode the elevator downstairs, these thoughts began to resurface in his mind. He had pondered these things many times since Sun Su's death.

He didn't understand, and Wu Chao avoided talking about it.

But he will still do things according to Wu Chao's ideas and help Wu Chao solve these troubles.

It's all because his seemingly glamorous life was given to him by Wu Chao.

the next day,
At the usual time in the evening, Wang Liang drove to Changxing Road again, and the restart count had resumed.

This time, he didn't park on the next street. Instead, he crossed the cordon on Changxing Road and stopped near the strange intersection.

Wang Liang got out of the car and leaned against his usual spot, waiting for midnight to arrive.

This time he brought coffin nails, a gold body bag, and a satellite phone. He will resolve this paranormal incident completely tonight.

At 11:59 PM, Wang Liang could already feel the ambient temperature dropping significantly, and the old ghost was about to invade reality in the middle of the intersection.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time, Wang Liang took out his satellite phone and dialed the number.

"Wang Liang, what's up?" Su Xinxi answered the phone immediately.

"Establish a paranormal archive: the Changxing Road paper-burning incident."
Code name: Oni-burning people
Hazard level: C
Terror level: A
The killing pattern: It raises a large number of sparks, forming a special kind of ghost fire that can burn people or other vengeful spirits.

Once the flames fully ignite a person or ghost, they will transport the person or ghost to a supernatural place isolated from reality, where they will continue to burn. The flames can also tear apart anything being burned by the flames from a distance, turning it into nourishment and creating more sparks.

Wang Liang felt that this vengeful ghost's terror level was definitely A.

Wang Liang cannot currently resolve this ghost's existence using his supernatural abilities without resorting to coffin nails.

Sadako's supernatural abilities were severely incomplete; the individual derivative Sadako supernatural entities were still too weak. While she had strong survival abilities, she lacked powerful attack methods that could be combined with resonance, and was ultimately killed by the group-damaging ghost fire of this old lady from the Republican era.

Moreover, sending someone "on their way" is also a troublesome tactic.

Faced with such trouble, Wang Liang certainly couldn't keep a low profile and report the matter as a supernatural event of level C.

What are you picturing?

If you pretend to be a pig for too long, people will eventually think you're a real pig. Since you've chosen to join headquarters, it's necessary to keep some tricks up your sleeve as a backup plan.

However, it is also very necessary to demonstrate one's strength and value by handling paranormal events, to earn sufficient respect and status, and to avoid troublesome pests.

However, Wang Liang did not fully reveal the killing pattern of this vengeful ghost. He did not mention that after breaking through to within three meters of the ghost, one would be forcibly sent to a supernatural place by the ghost using the ashes from the brazier.

He didn't mention the brazier either, omitting it in his conversation.

The original work, when recording the files, only mentioned the level of threat.

However, the author did mention the concept of the level of terror, and the original text even mentions the terror level as something like this, rather than the level of harm.
However, the author is somewhat confused on this point. In many places in the original text, the level of terror is actually referring to the level of harm.

As the author continued writing, he confused the two terms. At one point, he was referring to the level of terror as a threat, using the wrong word. At another point, he was actually referring to the degree of terror.

Anyway, if this book doesn't work out, just consider it a secondary setting. I'll clearly define the horror level, otherwise it would be quite frustrating to go through all that trouble only to report that it's a C.
