Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 48 Assessment
That day, Wang Liang did nothing else but study the ghost fire basin in the safe house.

He then opened the golden box that imprisoned the waving ghost and, using the old method, released ghost blood to corrode the waving ghost into a blackened hand.

Then they were thrown into the ghost fire basin as well, so that the basin would burn the two ghosts at the same time, trying to produce eerie ashes faster.

After throwing the waving ghost in, Wang Liang noticed that the ghost fire rising in the ghost fire basin suddenly weakened.

This made his expression change. He was worried that the thing might go out, or it might reignite.

Wang Liang quickly controlled a derivative Sadako to pick up the blackened hand from the will-o'-the-wisp basin.

After the ghostly hand was removed, the rising ghostly fire returned to its previous intensity.

This relieved Wang Liang. It seemed that the ghost fire in the basin could be restored, but the number and terror of the fierce ghosts that could be burned and suppressed in the basin at the same time were limited.

Wang Liang threw the Ghost Hand in again, and the Ghost Fire Basin simultaneously burned and suppressed the two fierce ghosts, so it seemed that there was no major problem.

Wang Liang spent a day in the safe house observing the burning of the evil spirits by the ghost fire basin.

The eerie ashes at the bottom of the brazier have increased somewhat, but at a very slow rate.

If Wang Liang hadn't noticed the black particles occasionally falling off the two vengeful spirits inside, the thickness of the layer of eerie ash at the bottom would have been virtually imperceptible to the naked eye.
It wasn't until the next morning, when Wang Liang received a call from Su Xinxi saying that the ghost candles and ghost money were about to be delivered, that he threw the ghost fire basin into a golden box and sealed it, letting the ghost fire basin slowly burn away the evil spirit inside.

Even if no one is watching over it, and the evil spirit in the brazier causes a problem and revives, it will still be kept in the golden box.

After leaving the safe house, it took about ten minutes for the people from headquarters to deliver the ghost candles and ghost money to arrive.

A well-equipped team arrived at the entrance of Wang Liang's villa. Leading the way was a slightly overweight man carrying a briefcase who looked like an ordinary office worker. He immediately greeted Wang Liang with a big smile and shook his hand enthusiastically.

"Oh, you must be Wang Liang. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Zhao Yang. I'm a deliveryman sent by headquarters. This time, I'm here to deliver the things that Professor Wang arranged, and at the same time, to take the vengeful ghost back with me."

Also, I'll take this opportunity to act as your supervisor's assessor, to conduct a psychological evaluation of your leadership qualities. Once that's completed, you'll become the official supervisor.

The special connection between ghost tamers allowed Wang Liang to know from the first glance that Zhao Yang was also a ghost tamer.

"Should we come in?" Wang Liang asked.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk."

Zhao Yang turned around and took a briefcase from the elite squad behind him.

"You all go and stand guard nearby, and don't let anyone come near here."

The captain of the elite squad nodded solemnly, said nothing, and led his team to surround the area around the villa.

"Hey, come on, let's have a good chat. Don't worry, this assessment isn't difficult. It's just a psychological evaluation of the ghost tamer. There aren't any major anti-human or anti-social issues, so most people pass."

After all, headquarters is already short-staffed; if the screening process were any stricter, there would be no one to be in charge of handling paranormal events in the city.

Zhao Yang followed Wang Liang into the villa and sat down in the living room on the first floor.

After sitting down, Zhao Yang first opened the briefcase he was carrying and showed it to Wang Liang.

The inside of the box was made of gold, and four candles were placed side by side inside, one red and three white.

Bending down closer, I could still faintly smell the stench of decay. Ghost Candle!

Next to it were five colorful banknotes, which didn't look too old, like they were from ten or twenty years ago.

The notes also have denominations: three, four, and seven yuan. There are two three- and four-yuan notes and one seven-yuan note, totaling twenty-one yuan.

Zhao Yang didn't recognize the Ghost Note or know its function, but he did recognize the Ghost Candle.

He looked at the ghost candles in the box, especially the red ones, with a deep sense of envy in his eyes.

As for the three white ones next to him, he felt unlucky just looking at them.

Zhao Yang was assigned to deliver ghost candles and act as Wang Liang's psychological examiner; he was also a ghost tamer.

Therefore, he certainly knew what the ghost candle was for. With this, one could practically have several extra lives in paranormal events. It was a paranormal resource that even ordinary people could use without any side effects.

But this rare resource was given to Wang Liang by headquarters, and he dared not take a single bit for himself. He opened the box and pushed it in front of Wang Liang.

"These are the resources that headquarters sent. Please confirm them first."

Wang Liang moved the box over and examined its contents. He knew of their existence and purpose, but this was the first time he had seen them in real life.

The red ghost candle looks just like a normal candle, but it seems to be made of congealed blood and emits a faint smell of corpses.

If there are no paranormal events in the vicinity, even if a ghost candle is lit, it can burn for a long time without showing any signs of melting.

However, if an extremely terrifying ghost is nearby, the red ghost candle may burn out instantly.

It's fair to say that you can't rely on this completely, but it's a good insurance policy. Having one or two on hand is always a good thing. Sometimes, even just gaining a second or two of safety time can change the outcome.

His alternative reboot is currently limited in number of times, and if he encounters an attack from a vengeful spirit of consciousness, as long as it is not an attack that will kill his consciousness instantly, even if he is entangled, he can use the ghost candle to temporarily get rid of it and then find an opportunity to reboot to avoid it.

As for the white ghost candle, it attracts evil spirits, and its function overlaps somewhat with that of the ghost bell.

But sometimes, he can make the derivative Sadako light a white ghost candle, which will attract away some terrifying ghosts.

As for the killing of Sadako and the loss of the remaining unburnt white ghost candles, it doesn't matter. In any case, the purpose of luring away the evil spirits has already been achieved, so the ghost bell, this supernatural item, doesn't need to be lost.

Ghost money is also a good thing, even more valuable than ghost candles, the more the better.

"Alright, I've confirmed it. This is what I wanted." Wang Liang closed the box and pushed it aside.

"OK, let's start the assessment now. Don't worry, it's very lenient; it's just a formality."

Zhao Yang picked up the briefcase he had brought, took out a few documents and placed them on the table, then took out a recorder that looked like a mobile phone.

"Oh right, this review will be recorded in the whole process. Before we start, I need to remind you that I will be showing your answers and the recording to my superiors when I get back, so please answer carefully."

“No problem,” Wang Liang nodded.

"Okay, let's get started."
