Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 53 Paranormal Surveillance Camera

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Liang lay down on a recliner and rocked gently, looking quite relaxed.

He took out his phone and started watching videos; thankfully, there was internet access even in this remote place.

Zhou Kun stood in the room, looking somewhat idle; he had no interest in electronic products.

Walking around and touching everything, Zhou Kun finally couldn't help but frown and ask:

What should we do now?

"What do you want to do?" Wang Liang didn't even look up, continuing to play with his phone.

"For example, some more in-depth investigations, to find the possible source of the paranormal events, especially the Li family where the incident occurred."

Moreover, I felt the people in this village were all a bit strange. The way they looked at us was off; it wasn't the kind of curiosity you see in strangers, but rather a different kind of feeling that's hard to describe.

"If you want to investigate, then wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"It's dark."

Zhou Kun understood again: a dark and windy night is a good time to act.

"I see. Sigh, this is troublesome. How about I contact someone to control the villagers and wait for the vengeful ghost to appear on the seventh day after its death, then we can just imprison it?"

"You should leave now. I'll handle this myself." Wang Liang looked up at Zhou Kun speechlessly.

"Uh, no, I still want to stay."

"Then let's take a break. If you know there's something wrong with this village, but you still restrict and control the people here as usual, then you might cause what was originally a controllable situation to quickly become uncontrollable. Are you sure the people in this village are still normal people?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Kun's expression changed.

"Sometimes, what you perceive as a living person may not actually be a living person. If the difference in supernatural phenomena is too great or there are some special circumstances, even if you are a ghost tamer, you may not have that special sense of warning against vengeful ghosts."

"! You mean this village?" Zhou Kun was incredulous.

Wang Liang looked down at his phone again and said:

"No, don't overthink it. I'm not sure, it's just a guess. And it probably isn't. What I mainly want to tell you is that once you step into an unknown situation, unless you are confident enough, don't mess things up before you understand the situation. Otherwise, you may immediately suffer an unbearable unknown attack."

During relatively calm periods, try to figure out some patterns and understand some things. That way, you can increase the probability of finding a glimmer of hope or resolving the incident after danger erupts. Not every time you deal with a paranormal event, you can be so lucky as to just blindly rush through.

Listening to Wang Liang's words, Zhou Kun fell into deep thought, and the room fell silent again.

As the sun began to set in the west, at dusk, the dark orange sun dyed half the sky a deep orange-red.

The shadow of the old locust tree at the village entrance was stretched long and cast obliquely on an earthen wall. The shadow of the somewhat crooked trunk looked like that of a hunched old man.

The villagers, who had been busy at the cemetery all day, gradually returned to the village and went back to their homes.

This includes the couple whom Wang Liang suspected were from the Li family.

After leaving the cemetery, the couple walked silently toward the east end of the village.

On their way back, not a single villager they passed greeted them, as if they were being isolated or avoided.

In a place unnoticed by the couple and the villagers along the way, on the muddy ground, amidst the tangled withered grass, a small one-inch photo was obliquely stuck in the ground, bearing the portrait of Wang Liang.

As the couple passed through the area, Wang Liang's portrait in the photograph, which was stuck among the weeds, suddenly underwent a bizarre and inexplicable change.

The person in the photo had a strange flicker in their eyes at that moment, and then their gaze followed the movement of a couple walking by through the gaps in the weeds.

After the couple walked past the area and disappeared from view, the person in the photo turned back to face the camera, and the photo returned to its normal appearance, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, in another photo, some distance ahead and placed in an inconspicuous spot, the same change occurred as the couple approached.

The person in the photo follows the person in real life, and then returns to normal once the person walks away.

In the hunchbacked old man's house, Zhou Kun was idly studying the age of the furniture.

But suddenly, he turned sharply to look at the recliner where Wang Liang was.

There, a chilling aura emanated from Wang Liang, who lay on the recliner with his eyes closed.

This caused Zhou Kun's expression to change.

'He's using the power of a vengeful spirit, why? What's going on?'

Zhou Kun first looked around nervously, thinking that a vengeful ghost had appeared and attacked Wang Liang with some kind of supernatural force.

But he quickly dismissed the guess, because apart from the changes in Wang Liang, he hadn't sensed anything.

That means it could only be that Wang Liang himself was actively releasing supernatural influences in a certain place.

'Is it a supernatural phenomenon released from a distance? What exactly is his ability? And what is he planning to do?'

Zhou Kun was filled with confusion, but at this moment, Wang Liang's mystery level rose once again in his mind.

After receiving news that Wang Liang was going to Dahuai City, Zhou Kun used his authority to check Wang Liang's file at headquarters.

Unfortunately, apart from the records of two paranormal cases he recently solved, there is no information about his ability to control vengeful spirits.

Perhaps even headquarters didn't know, or perhaps headquarters had encrypted the information about the vengeful spirit he was controlling; in any case, he had no idea.

'Da'an City, Wang Liang,' Zhou Kun muttered to himself.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Liang opened his eyes on the recliner, and the chilling aura emanating from his body gradually dissipated.

This result once again shocked Zhou Kun.

He's been using supernatural abilities continuously for over twenty minutes without any apparent change in his condition. Could this guy be a resurrected vengeful spirit?!

"What did you do?" Zhou Kun asked immediately.

"We've figured out a few things so we can act tonight. Alright, we can move out once most of the villagers are asleep. Whether you come or not is up to you."

"Of course I'll go."

"alright."

Night falls quickly in the village, unlike the bright lights of the city.

Most people in this village go to bed early, and by seven or eight o'clock they are basically not leaving their homes, with many turning off their lights to sleep.

Around 9 p.m., the hunchbacked old man slowly walked out of the darkness, returned to his bedroom, turned off the lights, and fell silent, seemingly going straight to sleep.

Wang Liang monitored the entire village through photos scattered throughout the village, and naturally knew what the old man did during the day.

Strangely enough, the old man actually spent most of his time wandering around the village.

The only unusual thing was that he spent an hour on the low hill outside the village. What he did there is unclear, as there were no photos of Wang Liang there, making it impossible to monitor his behavior.

The old man went up the mountain again at eight o'clock in the evening, came down an hour later, and went straight back to his room to sleep.

This action suggests that there must be a problem on that mountain as well.

Wang Liang also marked the location of tonight's event on that low hill.
