Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 261 Am I beautiful?

Mishima continued:
"This vengeful ghost is codenamed 'Roadblock Ghost,' and it's one of the few that can make a sound. It will block a target and emit a terrifying ghostly voice, a voice that is a curse, asking the target if I am beautiful."

Wang Liang's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with both surprise and joy.

This looks like a puzzle piece of the Slit-Mouthed Woman! Could it be that I really won the lottery this time?!
The legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman originated in Japan. It is indeed quite possible that after the Slit-Mouthed Woman descended into this world and was imprisoned by him, the scattered supernatural puzzle pieces appeared in Japan.

“Wang Liang-san?” Mishima noticed the change in Wang Liang’s expression.

“It’s alright, you can continue. I need detailed information about this ghost,” Wang Liang said.

"Hey, once you're questioned by the vengeful ghost, you have to answer. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave. You'll be bound to the spot by an invisible force, like being stuck in a quagmire or trapped in a ghost wall. No matter how far you go, you'll instantly return to the original spot after a certain distance."

Mishima revealed the files he had kept about vengeful spirits.

"And when questioned by the vengeful ghost, the answer must be given within thirty seconds, otherwise a terrorist attack will be immediately provoked."

If you give an unpleasant or random answer, you will be subjected to a deadly supernatural attack.

If the answer is "beautiful," there is a glimmer of hope, but the corners of the mouth will split open to the sides, and the body will suffer great pain.

However, if one does not die, one can steal some of the ghost's supernatural abilities, or be cursed by the vengeful ghost, possessing supernatural abilities that can cause people to die with their mouths split open, thus becoming an alternative ghost tamer.

But this is not true theft; it is a curse permitted by the vengeful spirit. Every time this curse is used, the supernatural phenomena it brings will cause the cursed person to be continuously eroded until they are completely transformed into the ghost's slave.

If the number of demon servants is increased without restraint, this demon will become extremely dangerous.

"I want this ghost."

After hearing Mishima's description, Wang Liang did not hesitate to subdue the vengeful ghost.

This is undoubtedly a piece of the Slit-Mouthed Woman puzzle, perhaps even an important one, and it must be obtained.

Seeing that Wang Liang had no intention of opening the box immediately, Mishima felt a little relieved.

"Okay, this ghost will be delivered to your temporary accommodation later."

"Need not."

Wang Liang had Mishima open the door, then used the demon blood to sink the golden chest and received compensation from Yamazaki.

After visiting the place where the evil spirits were imprisoned, Mishima took Wang Liang to the place where the exorcism society stored supernatural items.

All the paranormal items that the exorcism society has collected from various places over the years are here.

A threshold stolen from a ghost temple can be placed at the door of a house to create a closed environment, which can ward off or imprison evil spirits.

Two playing cards are used to force the ghost and the ghost tamer to guess the size of their hand; the numbers on the cards change each time the guess is made.

Bloodstained bandages can heal bodily injuries, but repeated use can bring bad luck and even attract vengeful ghosts.

A ball of thread that can temporarily restrict the movements of vengeful spirits.

And, a broken samurai sword that injures both the user and the attacker, similar to the Demon Seal, but with far more terrifying effects and side effects, possessing the ability to dismember vengeful spirits.

There are many supernatural items, but most of them are unacceptable to people, or even dangerous items with only side effects.

He also has ghost porcelain, but he already has seven ghost porcelain pieces in his possession.

As for the origin of the Ghost Porcelain, Mishima neither revealed nor would he hand it over, so he did not waste the quota on Ghost Porcelain.

Wang Liang ultimately chose five supernatural items with manageable side effects and decent results to sink into the ghost blood, which made Mishima feel very sorry for them, but he could only agree.

Of these five supernatural items, the broken samurai sword was the most useful to Wang Liang.

The blade has many small and large notches, making it look like it would break if you chopped it hard, but with the help of the supernatural, it is not so easy to break.

He planned to attach this weapon to the bloodstained bone spear. This katana needed to first dismember itself, continuously storing some kind of eerie dismemberment energy within the blade, before it could dismember the vengeful spirit.

Furthermore, only those who actively dismember themselves can wield the weapon, carrying the energy stored within the blade from their own self-dismemberment, to dismember other people or vengeful spirits, just like the Ghost Seal; otherwise, they will immediately suffer a backlash.

However, this side effect is essentially negligible for him, since he can reboot.

If it were to dismember itself dozens of times, the samurai sword would likely become extremely dangerous, provided, of course, that there is no limit to the energy it can store for dismemberment.

"Well then, Mr. Wang Liang, let's go."

Mishima sighed and led Wang Liang outside.

After this trip, Mishima's back was slightly hunched, and his face showed signs of aging.

After the group of four left the tunnel, Wang Liang suddenly had a premonition and subconsciously looked back.

Then they saw an old man in an old-fashioned gray kimono standing deep in the tunnel. His withered and emaciated body was between light and shadow, and his face was indistinct.

But as he looked at the old man, his head twitched up and down, giving him a faint nod before disappearing.

'Ha, old man.'

Wang Liang could sense that the pressure emanating from that old man was far greater than that from Yamazaki; he was probably the true backbone of the island nation, and even the Mishima Islands might not know of his existence.

Wang Liang was not afraid of him. Although the old man's aura was dangerous, he was confident that he could suppress him and kill him, it would just take some effort.

This old man is ultimately no match for Old Qin, much less for the top figures of the Republic of China.

“Wang Liangsang, there is actually something else that is difficult to say, but please take a look first.”

Mishima hesitated for a moment, then took out a file from inside his clothes and handed it to Wang Liang with both hands while bowing.

Wang Liang frowned slightly, took the document, and examined it.

The file records a paranormal event.

S-level paranormal event (temporarily closed), Ghost Temple (Ghost Well) incident.

Mishima sighed and said, "I wonder what Wang Liang-san thinks about this matter?"

"I've heard of the Ghost Temple, also known as the Ghost Well Incident," Wang Liang said, flipping through the files.

"But it seems you've already dealt with it temporarily, so why are you asking me?"

Mishima shook his head: "It's not that serious. We sacrificed several elite teams and even lost the last Jade, but that only temporarily contained the incident in Nagano. It's still a ticking time bomb."

So, Mr. Wang Liang, you are currently the only person who has definitively solved an S-class paranormal case. Although it's quite shameful, please, I beg you, help this island nation. The reward is negotiable.

On the way back, Mishima shamelessly knelt down and begged Wang Liang for forgiveness.

Wang Liang remained unmoved, not even glancing at Mishima, but simply frowning slightly as he flipped through the Ghost Temple's files.

Even without Mishima saying anything, the very name "Demon Temple," also known as "Demon Well," is enough to make him take this S-class incident seriously.

He knew about this incident before coming to the island nation, and he suspected, or even was probably certain, that the Oni-i was related to Sadako.

However, this is an S-level paranormal event, and unlike the starving ghost incident, this is an S-level event that is basically unknown to him, so it is not so easy to handle.

If you were to actually go, it would be equivalent to truly encountering and dealing with an unknown paranormal event.

An island nation is still a country, and there are old forces lurking in the shadows, but all that can be done is to suppress this incident.

A complete solution will certainly not be that simple.
