Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 46 Inexhaustible Resources
Upon hearing Wang Liang's words, Zhao Jianguo was taken aback. How come he didn't know that the person in charge was on a business trip? Oh, he couldn't control that person in charge.

Wang Liang said, "Yes, there is only one paranormal event left in Da'an City that is currently under lockdown. I will deal with it when I return. I have already resolved two cases since taking office, so I should be able to live up to the privileges you have given me. However, I need to take care of some personal matters for a while. It may take a day or two if I am quick, or a week if I am slow."

“Okay, I understand. That’s no problem at all. The ghost candle should be delivered tomorrow. And as we said before, as long as you take good care of Da’an City, headquarters will be very lenient with you. You can do whatever you want,” Zhao Jianguo said.

"Okay, that's all, I'm hanging up now."

After ending the call with headquarters, Wang Liang took out the golden bottle containing supernatural ash, removed the cap, and glanced at it.

The eerie chill emanating from the ashes showed no signs of abating, suggesting that the ashes, once removed from the ghost fire basin, would not have an expiration date.

In reality, such questions are rare in the supernatural realm; Wang Liang was simply trying to confirm things again as a precaution.

Wang Liang went downstairs to the safe house, took the ghost fire basin down and placed it on the ground, then went to the three golden chests piled up against the wall.

Each box was labeled with a record of which vengeful ghost was imprisoned inside and its killing patterns.

Foul-smelling ghost, waving ghost, and old woman ghost.

Wang Liang used a tool to cut open the lid of the golden box where the foul-smelling ghost was located. Before the ghost inside could revive, he grabbed it and pinched it. The supernatural power of Sadako and the ghost's blood worked together to suppress it and make it motionless.

He brought out the foul-smelling ghost and placed it in front of the ghost fire basin. He touched his chin with his other hand. How should he verify the use of the ghost to produce supernatural ashes?
How can the foul-smelling ghosts be tainted by will-o'-the-wisps?

This dark orange ghost fire has the ability to completely ignite a person or ghost and send them to a haunted place.

The suppressed, foul-smelling ghost was ignited and was probably sent directly to the corresponding supernatural place in reality. Was it going to try to produce supernatural ashes in the supernatural place?
Moreover, the old ghost possesses the supernatural ability to tear things apart from the will-o'-the-wisp from a distance, and can tear things burning with the will-o'-the-wisp from a distance and throw them into the will-o'-the-wisp basin.

Therefore, simply letting the vengeful ghost be burned by the ghost fire might not work. The supernatural ashes are all in the ghost fire basin. Perhaps the vengeful ghost should be thrown into the ghost fire basin and burned, relying on the special effects of the ghost fire basin to produce supernatural ashes.

But putting aside the question of whether the vengeful ghost would be sent to a supernatural place by the dark orange ghost fire if it were thrown directly into the ghost fire basin, the basin itself seems too small to contain the foul-smelling vengeful ghost.

By the way, Wang Liang realized that the form of a vengeful ghost is only a facade. Ghost realms or other suppressive supernatural entities can deform it, which is also the origin of supernatural items.

Just like in the original storyline, Yang Jian used the Ghost Domain to compress the Deceitful Ghost into a necklace, condensing it into a black dot.

Using supernatural abilities, the compressed vengeful spirit will revive, and the black dot in the necklace will spread. However, Yang Jian can use his Ghost Domain to suppress it again, condensing it back into a single black dot.

Wang Liang currently lacks a ghost realm and cannot drastically alter his physical form, but his ghost blood is highly corrosive. Over time, this corrosive effect should be able to change the form of a vengeful ghost to some extent.

After the initial battle against the foul-smelling ghost, its body began to corrode, and it was imprisoned by the ghost. Now, it can try to corrode the ghost for an extended period of time to see how it goes.

Thinking about this, Wang Liang felt that it was indeed worth a try. If the foul-smelling ghost was teleported away, he could simply go to a supernatural place to try it out. In any case, he had to find out where the supernatural ashes in the ghost fire basin came from.

However, Wang Liang did not rush to use the ghost's blood to corrode the foul-smelling ghost and then stuff it into the brazier. Instead, he first threw out two photos and summoned two derivative Sadakos.

Then he had a derivative Sadako take the stinking ghost from his hand and stand on one side of the safe house, with nothing else around.

Next, Wang Liang controlled another derivative Sadako to squat in front of the ghost fire basin, preparing to try out another way to use the ghost fire basin.

The old ghost once swept her hand over the fire basin, stirring up a large number of sparks that formed dark orange ghost fire for an attack.

The old ghost itself possesses the supernatural ability to release sparks and form will-o'-the-wisps, but this will-o'-the-wisp basin should also be able to do so, making it a piece of the puzzle.

Sadako brushed her hand across the flickering will-o'-the-wisps above the basin, aiming it at the stenching ghost, trying to create sparks like the old ghost. But instead of sparks flying like the old ghost, Sadako's pale hand was slightly burned by the will-o'-the-wisps, with a few wisps clinging to her skin, burning her hand with supernatural fuel.

Sadako's black veins burst on the back of her hand, and the exploding black blood extinguished the few wisps of ghostly fire.

Wang Liang frowned. It seemed that although there was a dark orange ghost fire burning in the ghost fire basin, he could not use it to raise a large number of sparks to attack like the old ghost.

This is either because the method was not right, or because there is a lack of some kind of supernatural element. It is difficult to create a large-scale firestorm simply by relying on the fire basin itself.

Wang Liang felt a little regretful, but he wasn't too bothered by it. As long as he could find a way to get the supernatural ashes out, that would be fine.

He took the stinking ghost, and thick, foul-smelling black ghost blood flowed from his hand, sliding onto the ghost's body and making a sizzling sound.

The ghost's blood flowed continuously, forming a pool of blood on the ground, where the foul-smelling, vengeful ghost was constantly corroded.

The flesh and blood on the foul-smelling ghost disappeared with a sizzling sound; this was not the ghost's true form, but merely the corpse it parasitized.

After the corpse's flesh and blood were largely corroded and disappeared, only a shrunken, infant-sized ghost remained in the final ghost blood.

The vengeful ghost was emaciated and had no facial features, only three dark holes on its face, making it look ferocious and eerie.

Wang Liang threw the shrunken ghost into the ghost fire basin. The dark orange ghost fire scorched the ghost's body. Even without the suppression of Sadako and the ghost blood, the foul-smelling ghost remained motionless.

Moreover, after being completely ignited by the dark orange ghost fire, Wang Liang discovered that the foul-smelling ghost was still in the ghost fire basin and had not been sent to the supernatural place by the ghost fire.

A peculiar chill rose from the will-o'-the-wisp basin, preventing the foul-smelling ghost from being carried away by the will-o'-the-wisp. The two supernatural entities clashed and conflicted at this moment, causing new changes to appear on the foul-smelling ghost.

After burning for a while, a gray particle fell from the foul-smelling ghost and landed at the bottom of the will-o'-the-wisp basin.

An eerie ash was produced.

The ash was tiny, but Wang Liang, who was constantly watching the situation in the basin, still noticed the black dot falling in the firelight, which made him happy.

Since vengeful spirits cannot be killed, this ash is not the body of a vengeful spirit. A vengeful spirit cannot be reduced to ash by the ghost fire basin, just like the naked male ghost we encountered in the haunted place before. It was burned for an unknown amount of time, but it still exists and is unharmed.

Therefore, the ghostly ashes appear to be the supernatural power possessed by a vengeful ghost, specially condensed in the ghost fire basin.

The vengeful spirits are products of the rules, and the supernatural is inexhaustible. This also means that as long as there are vengeful spirits as fuel, the ashes of the supernatural will be inexhaustible!
Burning multiple vengeful spirits simultaneously will produce supernatural ashes more quickly.

Chapter 45 has been revised. You can take a look again. It's no longer just the red and white ghost candles that have been replaced; there are also ghost banknotes.

Thanks to reader 20240108123001926 and other readers for their suggestions. When I was writing this, I wanted to change it, but the main purpose was to establish a connection between Wang Xiaoming and the protagonist, letting them know of each other's existence. It wasn't just for the sake of flattery. Many of the satisfying moments in the book actually come from the perspectives of these important characters from the original work on the protagonist; it can't be a one-way street.

As for the old ghost, well, although he is very strong, his most special ability is actually to teleport to supernatural places. The protagonist has the Ghost Fire Basin, and the most valuable supernatural ashes and their production method are in the protagonist's possession, so the old ghost is not that valuable to the protagonist.

However, since there has been some response, although most people are just following along, perhaps they don't care, or perhaps they've quietly given up, haha, I still made some changes and added some ghost money, which is quite useful, especially in the Ghost Street section.

There's no point in keeping the old ghost around now, and we still have the chance to get her back, so that should be enough.
