Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 273 A complicated situation

"It was killed once by you in that place of consciousness, thus being briefly dismembered, but it was of no use."

The chanting of sutras cannot be touched or imprisoned; it is the most terrifying place in this temple. The dormant evil spirits will slowly recover and will likely reappear after a while, so the only option is to restrict them.”

Upon hearing the old man's words, Wang Liang's pupils contracted.

The Buddha head nailed to the bone spear in his hand did not give him any special feeling; it was just like an ordinary stone.

He initially thought this was due to the statue's supernatural properties, or the Buddha being temporarily dismembered by Freddy, or the influence of coffin nails, etc.

Although a bad feeling had already formed in his mind, he could only ignore it for the time being and lock up the fragments of the Buddha statue first.

And now, the worst-case scenario has come true: the old man has been in contact with vengeful spirits longer than him, so he is probably not lying, and there is no need for him to lie.

However, just in case, Wang Liang still flooded the gold chests with ghost blood, then threw the Buddha head in to seal them, and sank all the gold chests into the ghost blood before turning to look at the old man.

The withered old man spoke again in a lifeless voice: "Let's leave this place. This vengeful ghost cannot be eliminated. It's already the best outcome if we can keep it here. I have ways to control it, and I should be able to hold out here for a few more years."

"Foreign jade, if you can come back here in the future to find a way to detain it, please help the island nation again then."

Wang Liang arrived at the edge of the platform and frowned as he looked down at the old man sitting cross-legged.

“Tell me everything you know: the temple, the statues, the chanting. I think I’ve figured it out. What’s with the fog and the well? If you want my help, don’t hide anything. That will only waste time.”

Hearing about how difficult it was to imprison the vengeful ghost, Wang Liang felt a little heavy-hearted, but thinking about the confrontation just now, he felt something was wrong.

Through petrification, the bodies of living people are turned into stone statues, becoming real-life ghost slaves.

Through chanting, the consciousness of the living is drawn into a dream, forcibly turning them into ghost slaves within the dream.

However, apart from that, Wang Liang did not see any abilities related to wells or fog in this vengeful ghost during his contact and confrontation with it, even though he came here specifically for the well.

This result gave him another guess, but he still needed to verify it with the old man.

"Well and Mist," the withered old man said in a deep voice, "that's another ghost."

'really! ’

Wang Liang's eyes widened slightly as his guess was confirmed. This S-level paranormal event was actually a complex paranormal event composed of two or even more ghosts. No wonder he always felt that the stone statue temple and the well mist didn't quite match.

“The other ghost that controls the well and the mist is the key to this matter spreading. An old friend of mine went to restrain that ghost, but I don’t know if he succeeded,” the withered old man said.

“A few months ago, after you got involved, the temple phantoms, stone statues, mist, and wells in various cities in Nagano all disappeared, and now they are all on this mountain,” Wang Liang said.

The withered old man smiled: "Is that so? Then it seems she succeeded, at least to some extent, she restrained that ghost. That's great."

The old man knew what Wang Liang wanted to hear, so he continued, "As far as we know, the other terrifying ghost should be in a well. All the mist comes from that well and has a strong ability to spread and penetrate. It does not belong to this temple."

Once the spreading mist becomes thick and humid, it forms muddy water. This muddy water, no matter how far away, will instantly pull anyone or any ghost that comes into contact with it into the source well and suppress them; it can pull them in, and it can also send them out. This temple had always been sealed off until that well appeared here and sent a locked stone statue out. The supernatural forces of the two vengeful spirits interacted and spread, thus creating this hellish situation.

“Tell me where that ghost is? If this ghost can’t be imprisoned, could that one be too?” Wang Liang asked solemnly.

The withered old man shook his head and said, "I only got this far regarding that vengeful ghost. I only figured out the effects of the fog and muddy water. I don't know the more specific details about the ghost. That was handled by another old friend of mine."

However, the ghost is in a well in the temple, behind the main hall, which is also the true source of the evil spirit and the place where the supernatural first appeared.

When we found the well, we tried to suppress it with the Ghost Domain, but it didn't work. We also couldn't destroy it like other derivative wells. Once destroyed, it would quickly regenerate in the same spot.

Therefore, we speculate that while the well at the rear is special, it is not the most important element; it is merely a medium connecting to reality. The true source is actually within the well, and to truly imprison the ghost, one would likely need to delve deep into the well to find the vengeful spirit at its source.

So we split up. I was responsible for containing the temple, while she went deep into the well to deal with the well demon that was extremely easy to spread.

At this point, the withered old man glanced back at the mist drifting through the temple outside the palace gate and sighed.

"You said the ghosts in Nagano had dissipated, but looking at the temple now, we've both succeeded and failed. She couldn't completely control the well; the mist is still there."

"Is that so? Then how did you restrict this temple?"

No sooner had Wang Liang finished asking his question than the withered old man had not yet answered, a dazed, seemingly near yet far chanting sound echoed through the hall once more.

Wang Liang and the old man's expressions changed.

Wang Liang heard the sound of iron claws scraping against his ears. He resisted the attack of the still not fully awakened evil spirit and instantly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

The withered old man immediately began chanting scriptures. The chanting was different from the chanting echoing in the main hall, but it subtly attracted the growing eerie chanting to the old man's side.

And then the old man’s abdomen made a sound, conveying his final message to Wang Liang outside the palace gate.

"The scripture in front of me is a puzzle piece of this vengeful ghost. The scriptures recorded on it are the contents of this eerie chanting. If you read it backwards, it will attract the ghost's attention, offset some of the supernatural elements in the chanting, protect your consciousness from being controlled, and also confine the chanting to this hall."

The stone statues were dealt with by those remarkable young people, and I restricted the chanting. The temple itself has no ability to spread the message; it only serves to guide the stone statues.

As long as I am alive and there are no problems with the well, the temple will not spread further.

Young people from abroad, this may be the last time we meet. I entrust the future to you.

boom.

A gust of cold wind blew through the main hall, and the doors slammed shut.

The chanting coming from inside the hall grew slightly louder before settling into a steady, moderate volume, indicating that the vengeful spirit had fully revived.

But now, the eerie chanting is confined to the hall by the withered old man, isolated by supernatural means, and will not spread outside the hall.
