Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 160: Suspected Idealism?

These people were perfectly normal just now, but now they suddenly don't seem like living people anymore; instead, they look like five stiff corpses walking towards him.

A moving corpse is a vengeful ghost.

Although Wang Liang had doubts in his heart, he faced the five people directly, his eyes sharpened, and without any hesitation, he released the slit-mouthed woman's slit-mouthed supernatural power.

Hiss.

The corners of the five people's mouths were instantly torn open all the way to their ears, each forming a terrible gash. Their bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

Wang Liang coldly looked at the five corpses lying on the ground. Whether they were controlled people or disguised vengeful ghosts, he would deal with them. In this supernatural place, he could not hesitate or be soft-hearted.

Unbeknownst to him, after controlling more and more vengeful ghosts and minor supernatural puzzle pieces, even though they were all vengeful ghosts that had crashed, Wang Liang could still feel that his mentality was gradually being inexplicably affected by the vengeful ghosts and supernatural phenomena within him.

When faced with such situations, he became increasingly cold and decisive. Regardless of whether he tried to make amends afterward, he would not hesitate to take action during the incident, even if these people might also be victims to some extent.

After the five men fell, a rustling sound of papers turning over suddenly came from Wang Liang's side.

Wang Liang suddenly looked over, but where the sound came from, there were only a few empty tables.

But Wang Liang was not disappointed; instead, he sneered:

"I never expected to actually run into the real deal. This isn't reality; it's the deepest ghost realm!"

Wang Liang deepened the ghostly aura of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, causing her physical body to rapidly fade in reality.

But in his field of vision, the surrounding environment was rapidly fading away.

Conversely, some things that were previously invisible gradually came into Wang Liang's view at this moment.

Due to some supernatural influence, the warm-colored lights in the restaurant flickered erratically, casting an inconsistent glow.

The bodies of the five people on the ground had faded, but there was no one around except behind the table where the five people had just eaten.

Behind all the other tables, after Wang Liang entered the deeper ghost realm, strange figures appeared, sitting one after another.

The restaurant, which had been quite spacious, suddenly became "crowded".

Behind each dining table sat a group of men and women of different ages and attire.

But they were all stiff, sitting upright in their seats with their hands on their knees, as if they had been sitting there the whole time and had never left.

And strangely enough, none of them had faces!

These are faceless people!
However, each of them had a plate on the table in front of them, with knives and forks on either side.

The food on the plates was not normal food, but rather faces with expressions frozen in time, some expressionless, some terrified, and some desperate.

These people did not "eat," but simply sat there quietly, their behavior exuding an unsettling, eerie stillness.

Among these strange people, the only one that was somewhat unusual was the direction from which the sound of paper turning over had just come from.

Behind one of the tables there sat a man, or rather a ghost, dressed in leather shoes and a suit!
Holding an old newspaper in front of his face, even in the ghost realm, his face was still unclear, and it was unknown whether he even had a face. But his actions were clearly different from those around him.

Wow.

The only sound coming from the restaurant was the newspaper turning another page.

thump.

The moment the sound of newspapers turning again rang out, a blood-stained, cold bone spear was instantly launched by Wang Liang using his Ghost Domain teleportation.

The coffin nail at the end of the bone gun pierced through the newspaper almost instantly, embedding itself in the suited man behind it.

He knocked him off his seat and pinned him to the wall behind him, leaving several jagged cracks in the wall.

The newspaper in the man's hand fell limply to the ground, revealing the side facing him that was blood red, as if stained with blood.

The man in the suit's face was also revealed. It had a face, the face of an unfamiliar middle-aged man, pale-faced, with his eyes closed, as if he were dead.

"Success? No!" Wang Liang stared intently at the nailed man in the suit. The newspaper ghost's memory supernatural abilities couldn't possibly be unsuitable for Sadako.

But he received no indication that the coffin nails had failed to hold the coffin in place.

The next second, the change in the scene inside the restaurant answered Wang Liang's question.

The sound of knives and forks scraping together rang out, but then abruptly stopped when Wang Liang turned his head.

The people sitting upright behind those tables simultaneously raised their stiff hands, each holding a newspaper that strangely covered their heads.

The faces on the plates and tables had all disappeared, their whereabouts unknown, but it's highly likely they've been reattached to the faces of people behind the tables.

Even within Wang Liang's ghost realm, one could not discern the faces of those people who had left behind those newspapers; they were all blurred. It was a peculiar supernatural phenomenon, unaffected by the suppression of the ghost realm.

The meal is over.

Wang Liang frowned upon seeing this, his mind racing as he analyzed the situation.

The one who most resembled the newspaper ghost was the man in the suit who was nailed to the ground; his behavior was clearly different from those around him.

But the coffin nail sniping attempt failed.

There has been a previous instance where a sniping attempt targeting a suspected source ghost failed.

That was when he was fighting the Slit-Mouthed Woman, the coffin nails were driven into Li Lengmei, who was possessed by the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

However, it failed to pin down the slit-mouthed woman inside, who detached from her vessel before being pinned down.

But at that time, he didn't have a ghost realm; he personally approached the ghost and used his hands to nail the coffin nails to kill it.

At that speed, it's normal for a vengeful ghost to realize something's wrong and dodge if it breaks free from control.

But now we're using Ghost Domain's near-instantaneous sniping to pin them down, how could we possibly fail?

Unless that wasn't the source of the newspaper ghost, but a trap thrown out by the newspaper ghost to confuse him.

But there is another possibility.
This is also the possibility that Wang Liang least wants to see, yet is the most likely one.

That's the newspaper ghost. It has no identity and always covers its face with a newspaper whenever it appears. No one has ever seen the true face of the newspaper ghost's source.

Since I've never seen one, it's suspected to be a purely theoretical existence. The newspaper ghost is probably just possessing different bodies and taking over their original identities.

It is also searching for a face, a face belonging to a ghost.

For such a situation, it is indeed difficult to nail the coffin nail in place before certain conditions are met.

Wang Liang's expression was solemn. A pool of ghost blood gushed out from beneath his feet, and a blood-red arm emerged from it, holding a ghost camera in his hand.

This situation is challenging, but not insurmountable.

Even if the newspaper ghost is an unidentified, idealistic being, it is certainly not an absolutely unsolvable, idealistic vengeful ghost.

Even within idealism, there are gaps. The idealism of the newspaper ghost should still be subject to certain significant limitations imposed by reality.

Otherwise, how could Yang Jian, Feng Quan, and Russell from the paranormal forum have so easily managed to restrain and imprison the newspaper ghost who had taken Tong Qian's identity in the hospital?

Analyzing the original plot regarding the circumstances of his imprisonment, Wang Liang already had a guess about this idealistic limitation.

It seems that the newspaper ghost, as set by the Buddha, was originally a truly difficult-to-contain spiritual ghost, capable of remotely altering memories and possessing spirits through telephone.

The original outline should have been that the newspaper ghost was not successfully imprisoned by Yang Jian and others in the hospital, and could even escape to Zhao Jianguo through telephone contact, and even release ghost messengers, causing great chaos.

Unfortunately, due to the harsh reality of being entangled by the blue silver, he was reduced to being cornered by Yang Jian and others in the hospital. After a simple supernatural suppression, he was directly imprisoned.

Since the original plot has unfolded this way, I'll use the ordinary suppression of Yang Jian and the others in the original plot to imprison the newspaper ghost as an explanation.
