Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 94 The Modified Memories (Thanks for the donation, fourth update)
Since it can be torn off, can it alter memories? Or is this derivative newspaper fragment simply a supernatural device that can tear off faces?
Wang Liang used the Ghost Domain to move a pen from another place nearby, preparing to give it a try.

The piece of leather that Gao Yan tore off did not cover the entire piece of newspaper; there was a blank space around the edge of the fragment.

Wang Liang recalled the original plot's method of using ghost newspapers to modify people's memories, and then used the pen in his hand to write on the empty space of the fragment next to his scalp.

Forget your current identity; you're just a single office worker. Wang Liang is your friend, lives next door, and you like to call him Old Wang. You just got off work and were about to have drinks together at home.

There wasn't much space left for Wang Liang to write on the fragment; even with his handwriting as small as he could, he almost couldn't write anything.

After finishing writing, Wang Liang reached out to tear off the piece of scalp from the fragment, but couldn't.

He imbued his hand with the spirit of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and the spirit suppressed the newspaper fragment.

Under suppression, the words that had just been written on the fragment disappeared rapidly. After they were completely gone, the scalp that was stuck to it floated down and was caught by Wang Liang.

The blood-red newspaper fragment, which was originally stained with blood, now had its outer ring of blood-red color inexplicably fade, turning into the light gray of ordinary newspaper, with only the area in the center, about the size of a baby's fist, remaining blood-red.

"Hiss, it seems to work, but it will consume energy. No rush, let's put it back and see how it goes."

Wang Liang didn't have the supernatural ability to piece together human skin, so he simply used the Ghost Realm to bring back some needles and thread.

He picked it up and roughly used needle and thread to sew the piece of human skin, which appeared to have had its memories altered, back onto Gao Yan's forehead.

Wang Liang didn't know if this would work, but before he came here, he suddenly remembered the piece of ghost newspaper in the safe house.

Since it was just sitting there doing nothing, I decided to take it to Gao Yan to test its supernatural effects, just in case it worked.

Although it has now been confirmed that it is a consumable item, which disappointed him somewhat, he was very interested in the process of exploring the supernatural, especially since it was such a bizarre ability.

The needle and thread pierced Gao Yan's forehead skin, and streaks of blood flowed down his forehead.

After Wang Liang's actions, Gao Yan had a patch of scalp on his forehead that looked like a patch on clothing, surrounded by blood, making him look rather pitiful.

After finishing this task, Wang Liang crossed his arms and waited quietly for the result.

After waiting for about half a minute, Gao Yan, who was slumped on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Phew, Lao Wang? You're here. Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. Did you buy the wine? Ouch, my head hurts so much. Damn, why the hell am I bleeding?!"

Wang Liang's eyes widened slightly; this supernatural phenomenon was indeed very eerie.

Gao Yan wiped his forehead, feeling a stinging pain. When he lowered his hand, he was startled by the blood on his palm.

He was just about to ask Lao Wang more questions to find out what had happened.

But suddenly Gao Yan slammed his fist on his head, staring blankly at Wang Liang, his eyes gradually filled with terror.

"What happened to me? Wang Liang, what did you do to me?!"

"I just got off work, how did I fall asleep?"

"No! Save my family, Mr. Wang, I beg you, please save my family!"

"I...have family?"

Wang Liang watched Gao Yan mutter to himself as if he had a split personality, his memory already in disarray.

It seems that this fragment of the ghost newspaper does indeed possess some of the supernatural effects of the original ghost newspaper.

However, because it was too small, the entire face could not be peeled off.

However, if only part of the face is peeled off, the modified memory will not be thorough and will violently conflict with the original.

Furthermore, because this is merely a fragment of a ghost newspaper derivative, each modification of someone else's memory incurs a cost.

The blood-red fragment in his hand is now only the size of a baby's fist. It can probably be modified once more, but the effect will likely be worse.

The assessment is complete, but unfortunately, it's not very useful. It's too small.

This is Wang Liang's assessment, but it's not entirely without gain; the process and experience of trying to explore the supernatural are still valuable.

Moreover, before trying it, he didn't know exactly how effective the fragment would be.

After putting the newspaper scraps into his coat pocket, Wang Liang turned his gaze to Gao Yan, giving him a cold glance.

Gao Yan's mouth was instantly torn open on both sides, all the way to his ears, forming a horrific and bloody gash, and his eyes lost their luster.

he died.

Of the people on that list, Wang Liang ultimately dealt with Gao Yan personally.

The rest were all handed over to Wen to investigate and handle according to the situation. Among them were even the three shareholders of Tianhuan Building.

After receiving the news, the three men rushed to Wang Liang's villa that very night, kneeling down and crying, saying they had been unlucky in their dealings with the wrong people. They claimed they were just investors and had no idea the club would be so audacious as to attack the person in charge.

What they said was probably true, but Wang Liang still told them to get lost and stop bothering him. He said it was already a favor not to kill them, and they should hurry back and wait for Captain Wen to deal with them.

However, even if it turns out to be of little consequence and they only made an investment, they still have to invest at least 99% of their assets in Tianhuan in order to save their lives.

When the headquarters learned that Gao Yan, as the liaison officer, was colluding with a civilian ghost-taming organization, they were furious.

But he was only angry for a moment, after all, Wang Liang had killed everyone.

The announcement stated that all liaisons in other regions would be rectified, but in the end, it will most likely be all bark and no bite.

After an internal argument at headquarters, Su Xinxi was asked to contact Wang Liang, partly to offer comfort and partly to increase his salary.

Secondly, they plan to send a new liaison officer to facilitate Wang Liang's handling of paranormal events in the future, and to ensure that the background of this person is absolutely clean.

Wang Liang neither agreed nor disagreed with this, and didn't care. He looked down on that kind of treatment at all. Using money to comfort people was very typical of headquarters.

It's impossible to get the stingy headquarters to provide any more supernatural resources as a result.

Wang Liang reaped considerable rewards from this operation.

Wen had already delivered the gold boxes containing the vengeful ghosts, the body bags, and a supernatural item called the Ghost Bowl to his residence, where he placed them in the safe house.

Yong Sheng Club has the support of the King behind it. It is not well-known and develops in a low-key manner, but because of its good resources, it has secretly attracted many ghost tamers from other places to register under its name.

However, now that he has eliminated the club's top management, the remaining nominal Ghost Masters are either long dead or not from the area and have no close relationship with the club. Seeing that the club is gone, they simply distance themselves and say they are not familiar with it.

The club president, three senior members, and three junior members who had been summoned were all packed into a box by him.

Including the heart-stealing ghost in the subway, he has now amassed a total of nine vengeful ghosts.

Li Yu's ghost fingernails were easily controlled by him on the spot. They were weak, but as a small puzzle piece for Sadako, they were better than nothing.

Most of the others are also weak, except for the Heart-Piercing Ghost and Wu Chao's Flying Ghost Head, which have some strength.

To date, eleven vengeful ghosts have been imprisoned in the safe house beneath his residence.

Some of the vengeful ghosts can form puzzle pieces by observing patterns, or they may conflict with each other, but they can still achieve a barely balanced state. For example, there is the stench ghost and Feng Bo's ghost blowing air, and Wu Chao's ghost rotting flesh and flying ghost head.

One theory, proposed by Wang Liang, is that the stench emanates from within the ghost, and the ghost blows its breath to expel the stench from its body.

This approach might achieve a meager balance, but it's unproven and he's unsure.

As for the other one, that's an existing example.
