Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 9 Time Closed Loop
Wang Liang sneaked to the backyard of the temple, to the area where the monks rested.

Wang Liang only knew that the coffin was nailed to a locked basement in Hongfa Temple, but he didn't know where that basement was.

The absence of a ghost realm is ultimately inconvenient; otherwise, a quick scan of the ghost realm would reveal everything.

However, Hongfa Temple is only so big, so it can take some time to find it without much effort.

Without disturbing the other monks in the temple, Wang Liang bypassed the monks' resting quarters and arrived at the rear area, where several small huts were used for storing miscellaneous items.

He carefully searched the rooms but found no unusual passage.

Wang Liang continued walking and came to a courtyard. In the courtyard stood an ancient tree and next to it was a well.

"No way……"

Wang Liang's expression changed. He went to the wellhead, looked down, and saw only darkness.

Deep down, I really didn't want to go down the well to see if there were any secret passages or basements below.

Fortunately, as he got closer, he noticed a stone path behind the ancient tree, mostly covered by weeds.

Wang Liang immediately abandoned exploring the ancient well and chose to proceed along the stone path.

Pushing aside the bushes, he finally arrived at a dilapidated wooden house, surrounded by overgrown weeds, with no other houses in sight.

The scenery gave Wang Liang a jolt; this was the place he was looking for, and he thought he might have found it.

Stepping into the wooden cabin, there was nothing inside except a wooden plank about the size of a well cover on the ground.

Wang Liang lifted the wooden plank, and sure enough, a passage leading underground was revealed on the ground.

Without hesitation, he followed the wooden planks into the underground passage.

The underground lighting was too dim, so Wang Liang turned on his phone's flashlight to observe the area.

The basement was not built in modern times; it was constructed using old-fashioned blue bricks that bear the marks of history.

At the far end of the basement stood an old wooden door, its lock gone, the door slightly ajar.

As Wang Liang approached, a chilly wind blew out from inside the door, making his hair stand on end.

Wang Liang pulled the wooden door open completely and slowly walked in, holding his phone as a flashlight.

Tick, tick.

A faint dripping sound came from ahead, but all that could be seen was pitch black. Even the light from a cell phone flashlight seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness ahead, eerily illuminating very little distance.

Looking back, there were some gruesome scratch marks on the blue brick wall behind me, with traces of fresh blood on them; these marks hadn't been there long.

The phone's light couldn't shine out and was basically useless. A bone-chilling coldness came from deep within, and the darkness ahead seemed like a giant, man-eating maw. Wang Liang couldn't see clearly and felt a sense of unease.

So he activated the Sadako spirit within him, attempting to spread the Sadako spirit residing in his abdomen to his entire body.

This is a supernatural use that Yang Jian discovered after hanging himself in front of the ghost mirror in the original storyline and perfectly controlling the ghostly shadows.

Wang Liang tried it out now, as it could change his physical condition, grant him supernatural strength, better resistance to supernatural phenomena, and some special effects.

However, most ghost tamers wouldn't dare to try this state.

They struggled to survive; even the slightest activation of the vengeful spirit's power would trigger its resurgence, bringing them closer to death. To have their bodies filled with such ghostly energy was, in their eyes, tantamount to suicide. However, the malfunctioning Sadako was naturally unaffected; Wang Liang could control her perfectly.

Wang Liang infused his entire body with the spirit of Sadako, and instantly, a chilling aura, unlike anything in the surrounding environment, rose from Wang Liang's body.

Outside, the figure of a white-clad female ghost flashed across Wang Liang's body, overlapping with his figure for a fleeting moment before disappearing.

Wang Liang's body later appeared noticeably thinner, his skin was deathly pale, and he exuded a chilling aura.

Wang Liang clenched his fist tightly, feeling that his physical strength was now superhuman, possessing a strange power, and his physical state had changed. This was a physical force brought about by the supernatural.

However, the superhuman strength gained from this is not very useful against evil spirits; it can only be used to bully ordinary people.

To fight against vengeful ghosts, you need to engage in real supernatural combat; physical strength alone won't help.

Aside from his superhuman strength, although he hadn't tried it, Wang Liang felt that with his physical condition, he could probably jump from a height of seven or eight stories without getting hurt.

Because of the rampant filling of his body with Sadako's supernatural presence, his body can now be considered a pseudo-ghost body.

If he had thought of this trick when fighting the knocking ghost, he could have lasted longer under the ghost's corpse-spot paranormal effects.

However, winning will still be somewhat difficult.
In this state, when the coldness inside his body surged to his eyes, Wang Liang's vision suddenly became a little clearer.

Although it was still somewhat dark around us, it was no longer so dark that we couldn't see anything at all.

After being possessed by a supernatural being, the supernatural influence on his eyes affected his vision. Of course, it wasn't as clear as Yang Jian's vision when he used the Scarlet Ghost Eyes, but it was enough for Wang Liang, as long as it wasn't completely black.

With his vision barely restored, Wang Liang immediately saw a gnarled, white tree rooted in the ground ahead.

The bone tree was covered with many strange things: dried human heads, rags stained with black blood, and broken bones.

Most astonishingly, a massive, three-meter-tall black shadow, almost solid, was nailed to the trunk of the Bone Tree, with black blood dripping from the spot where it was nailed.

And what nailed this dark figure was a rusty coffin nail!
[Strange Record Value: 26%-28% (Rapidly Increasing)]

Wang Liang approached the shadowy figure and looked at the enormous, nailed shadow.

Each ghost provides a certain amount of eerie value. He wasn't in a hurry to take the coffin nails. He couldn't miss this opportunity. He would definitely wait until the eerie value was low before taking the coffin nails and leaving.

During this time, Wang Liang stared at the shadowy figure and thought a lot.

In the previous life, some people who read the book "Mysterious Resurrection" speculated about the shadowy figure who made a fleeting appearance at the beginning and then disappeared without a trace after the coffin nails were removed.

Some speculate that the shadowy figure is a mysterious and powerful demon, known as the Crimson Lord.

However, some speculate that this ghost is Yang Jian, who returned to the past at some unknown time in the future due to a loss of consciousness.

In the original storyline, in order to solve the problem of the resurgence of vengeful ghosts, Yang Jian chose to transfer his consciousness to his second ghost, a tall ghost figure, at a certain point in time, becoming an anomaly, a ghost with the consciousness of a living person.

Although Yang Jian once said in the original story that the huge black shadow nailed to the coffin here was not his ghost, it is also possible that Yang Jian was not knowledgeable enough at that time?
After all, Yang Jian will have devoured countless ghosts after becoming a god, so it's possible that his ghostly nature will undergo some special changes.

This view is equivalent to believing that everything is a closed spacetime loop, a timeline like an ouroboros.

The present Yang Jian finds the Ghost Eye and grows into Yang Jian in the future. However, at some unknown time in the future, Yang Jian returns to this point in time, stays here, drops the Ghost Eye, and is picked up by the past Yang Jian, and the cycle continues.

This could somewhat explain why the enormous, nailed shadow never reappeared after the coffin nails were removed, until the mysterious revival ended. Perhaps Yang Jian got tired of it and returned to the more distant future.
