Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 310 Seven People (1.8 combined)

Upon receiving news of Liu Qi's arrival at the villa, Wang Liang instructed Xu Yin to bring Liu Qi in.

He was not surprised by Liu Qi's arrival.

Two weeks ago, when he was dealing with Liu Qi's grandparents' affairs, he told Liu Qi that if he wanted to know more, he could come to Da'an City to find him.

It was Liu Qi's arrival almost half a month later that surprised him.

Moreover, Wang Liang, with his supernatural perspective, watched Liu Qi walking into the community from the entrance and raised his eyebrows, noticing something amiss.

Liu Qi has become a ghost tamer.

This is probably one of the reasons why Liu Qi came to Da'an City.

"Teacher Wang, thank you for helping me with my grandparents' affairs before."

When Liu Qi arrived at the villa and saw Wang Liang, his eyes darted around, like a student who had done something wrong.

Wang Liang asked Liu Qi to sit down first, set out the tea set, and brewed two cups of tea.

"Tell me what's going on."

Liu Qi's expression turned serious, a hint of lingering fear showing on his face.

"Teacher Wang, you should be able to tell that I have become a ghost tamer."

Wang Liang nodded, signaling Liu Qi to continue.

Liu Qi continued, "Ever since the day my grandparents had that accident, I've felt that entrusting my life to luck—that I won't encounter any supernatural events—is a terrible feeling. I want to learn more, I want to become a ghost tamer, I want to have the ability to protect myself and my family!"

Liu Qi looked at Wang Liang with a determined gaze, but then suddenly scratched his head.

"However, Teacher Wang, you have already helped me enough and even gave me a talisman, which I have already used. I don't want to trouble you with everything because of my own thoughts, so I didn't come to Da'an City right away."

Liu Qi was a little embarrassed when he said it, because it actually stemmed from some inexplicable sense of pride.

He had a complicated thought process: he insisted on taking the long way when there was a shortcut available, and this made it difficult for him to face Teacher Wang.

“This is your decision, and I respect it. So, what has happened recently?” Wang Liang asked.

Liu Qi's expression turned serious: "At first, I just wanted to learn more about my grandparents and why those things happened to them."

After all, in my memory from childhood, they were just two kind old people.

I dug out their old diaries, found their phone book, and followed the contacts to find some of their friends who are still alive. I also visited some places where they used to live.

"Have you found any clues?" Wang Liang asked.

“No,” Liu Qi said.

An awkward silence fell over the living room for a moment.

But Liu Qi quickly added: "However, during the two weeks I was traveling around, just a few days ago, an accident happened while I was staying overnight at a rural guesthouse."

Liu Qi stretched out a hand with a wry smile. As a chill emanated from his hand, the skin color, which was originally normal, underwent a strange change.

Some were smooth, some were withered and yellow, and some were old, like pieces of different skin pieced together.

"It's so eerie. In the middle of the night, this ghost suddenly appeared on my hand and merged into my palm, waking me up in pain."

I felt like I was about to die; my whole body felt like it was being constantly gnawed at. Thankfully, I survived, and then, inexplicably, I became a demon tamer.

Wang Liang frowned slightly. He suspected that the ghost might have been in the same spot where Liu Qi was sleeping, invading reality from some deep ghost realm.

There are quite a few 'lucky ones' who become ghost tamers in this way.

"What ability?"

Liu Qi, unsuspecting of Teacher Wang, frankly said, "I've tried it on animals once, and so far I've only found that contact with them can cause their skin to peel off, ulcerate, and their flesh to rot."

Peeling skin?

Wang Liang raised an eyebrow. This didn't seem to be the kind of eerie curse that Liu Qi had picked up outside in the original story, the kind that could steal supernatural things.

This ability also reminded him of the vengeful ghost he encountered while riding the ghost bus.

That vengeful ghost can shed its skin, but normally it sews various kinds of skin onto its body.

That ghost is still lingering in his ghost blood, and if planned properly, it could become Liu Qi's second ghost.

"Pretty much. Using the supernatural once is too unpleasant, so I don't dare to try it too many times, for fear of further agitating the vengeful spirit. I don't know if there are any other effects either," Liu Qi said with a wry smile.

Liu Qi sighed, "Teacher Wang, I'm only now realizing the difficulties you and Yang Jian face as ghost controllers. Your immense strength comes from being constantly stimulated by vengeful ghosts that threaten your life."

I could clearly feel that even without using supernatural abilities, my life was already on a countdown. The vengeful spirit in my hand was constantly reviving, and a dull, stinging pain emanated from my body. It was truly torturous, and thinking about it made me feel quite conflicted.

“This is what a Ghost Tamer is,” Wang Liang nodded, though he felt somewhat unqualified to say so.

Now that Liu Qi has come looking for us and has become a ghost tamer, he has stepped into this supernatural world.

Wang Liang then told Liu Qi about various situations involving ghost tamers: the resurgence of vengeful ghosts, the control of a second ghost, balance, system crashes, and anomalies.

But after he finished speaking, Liu Qi's expression became even more complicated, and his gaze towards him became somewhat strange.

It's obvious that they suspect Teacher Wang is either a computer malfunction or an anomaly, which has solved the problem of the vengeful ghost's resurgence to some extent, freeing him from their troubles.

Wang Liang said, "So what do you think now? Now that you've become a Ghost Tamer, do you want to join my team?"

Normally, my job is to handle paranormal events in Da'an City, or any hostile intrusions, along with a few other ghost-controlling individuals under my command.

Meanwhile, I can find a way to help you control the second ghost at the right time, delaying the vengeful spirit's resurgence.

Upon hearing Teacher Wang's invitation, Liu Qi did not make a decision immediately.

He came to Da'an City mainly because after becoming a Ghost Tamer, he felt uneasy as his life was counting down, so he came to report to his teacher.

And he certainly made the right choice by coming. He not only learned a lot about ghost tamers, but also received this precious invitation.

But after thinking silently for a moment, Liu Qi raised his head, his eyes bright.

"If Teacher Wang needs anything and I can help, that would be great, and of course I'd be happy to join."

However, I still want to visit all the places mentioned in my grandparents' diaries firsthand, to learn about their stories and find any possible clues.

After all, he was a character from the original work who could develop wildly to the position of reserve captain. After taking a sip of his tea, Wang Liang said:
"Since you want to go out and see the world, then go ahead. Maybe you'll encounter your own opportunities and forge your own path."

"But I can tell you something. I recently encountered a scarecrow ghost in a haunted place. The curse left inside your grandparents was left by that ghost; it was an S-rank ghost. Knowing this, are you still going?" Liu Qi's pupils contracted. S-rank.
After a brief silence, Liu Qi's tone remained firm:

“I’m going not only to find out about what happened to my grandparents, but also to go out and see the world, to experience a little bit of life. I can sense that the world is very complex, and I want to explore its secrets.”

Wang Liang smiled and said, "Then go ahead. We've been teacher and student for a while. If you run into trouble, come find me in Da'an City."

Liu Qi joked, "Don't worry, Teacher Wang, save me a spot in your team. I'll just take a quick look around and come right back."

"nature."

Wang Liang replied with a smile, and a pool of cold, ghostly blood gushed out from his feet. Three hideous, bloody arms emerged from it, each holding a bizarre porcelain object shaped like a twisted human.

Liu Qi stared in astonishment at the blood and bloody hand at Teacher Wang's feet, and the three eerie objects that exuded a chilling aura.

Only after becoming a Ghost Tamer did he realize more deeply the strangeness and depth of this method.

“These three are ghost porcelain,” Wang Liang said with a smile.

After briefly explaining how to use the ghost porcelain, he tossed the three pieces to Liu Qi.

"It was to provide some financial support for my future teammates so they could survive."

Liu Qi solemnly accepted it and nodded vigorously.

"I will."

Liu Qi is gone.

Wang Liang stood on the balcony watching his departing figure, without trying to stop him.

Having survived numerous supernatural events in the original story and become a ghost tamer at the level of a prospective captain within a year, Liu Qi has his own talent and path.

However, Liu Qi's arrival also reminded Wang Liang of something: of the seven people who survived from No. 7 Middle School back then.

Yang Jian, needless to say, was someone he had trained multiple times as a backup plan.

Now, Yang Jian is willing to risk his life for a single word from him, and he is not afraid even if his opponent is Ye Zhen.

The fact that Yang Jian, who is naturally wary, could do this shows that his efforts were not in vain.

Zhang Wei lived as a rich second-generation in Dachang City, and usually lived in the same community as Yang Jian.

Wang Shanshan is now bound to Yang Jian by life, a half-ghost slave.

Miao Xiaoshan became the only college student he mentored in his class, and the hope of the entire class.

Liu Qi is going to go his own way, leaving a place for a future Ghost Tamer team.

孙仁
Thinking of this student, Wang Liang frowned slightly on the balcony.

In the original story, Sun Ren and Yang Jian parted ways because Sun Ren suffered a terrible supernatural torment. He wanted to find Yang Jian, but was attacked by a ghost child. As a result, his mentality changed and he turned to the opposite side.

But there are actually many problems here, such as why he doesn't make a phone call.

Moreover, the fact that he was attacked by the ghost child indicates that he must not have entered through the main gate, but rather sneaked into the community in the middle of the night.

Unlike good people who are attacked by ghost children, Sun Ren's mind was probably also problematic at that time.

This is not a good student.

Wang Liang shook his head, but Sun Ren also had a photo of him. After looking at it through the media, he saw that Sun Ren was currently fine.

Leaving that aside for now, Wang Liang thought of one last person: Zhao Lei.

Thinking of Zhao Lei, he sighed, feeling a bit of a headache.

Even without the newspaper ghost, Zhao Lei is still alive, but he still enjoys actively seeking out all sorts of supernatural phenomena.

Since he had given seven people seven photos and seven chances, Wang Liang kept his promise and kept an eye on the seven people from time to time.

Among the few who haven't used this opportunity yet, the strange gray thread connecting Zhao Lei to his body flashes intermittently.

It wasn't serious; at most, it was just contact with some supernatural remnants, but it still gave Wang Liang a headache.

Zhao Lei is different from Liu Qi. Liu Qi wanted to protect himself, his family, and to understand the truth, so he went into contact with and explored the supernatural.

But Zhao Lei wanted more to become a ghost tamer, to become a special person.

In the parlance of urban novels, he was unwilling to be ordinary and wanted to become a superpowered person.

Wang Liang stood on the balcony, looking down at the garden. After a moment of contemplation, a chilling aura emanated from him as he used Sadako's supernatural powers to communicate with a medium in the distance.

At Zhao Lei's home,

In Zhao Lei's bedroom, the walls were almost entirely covered with various newspapers and strange printed photos.

The mysterious deaths of a family of four in Yaju Residential Community, the bizarre car accident on Tiancheng Expressway, and the mass suicide incident in Anhua Residential Community.
News articles and chilling photos that might be related to paranormal events were posted on the wall, forming an information web, but most of them were marked with a big red cross.

Zhao Lei sat alone at his desk in front of his laptop, browsing a ghost story forum.

"There are often eerie crying sounds in a small alley in Dagang City at night, but no one can be found. Hmm, is this made up or is it true? I'll save this and go check it out when I have the chance."

Zhao Lei copied the content from the forum into a file and then continued browsing.

Just then, he copied Zhang Wei's necklace, and the amulet he tied around his neck suddenly emitted a cold sensation, prompting him to quickly bend down and take it out to examine it.

Teacher Wang's figure is in the photo on the chain, but it's unclear whether it's a problem with the photo or the surrounding lighting.

Zhao Lei felt that the background of the person in the photo had become inexplicably darker, making it difficult for him to see Teacher Wang's face clearly, and the person in the photo also seemed to have moved slightly.

A chilly atmosphere lingered in the bedroom, causing the overhead light to flicker.

Under the flickering light, a music player on a nearby cabinet suddenly lit up with its power indicator light, emitted a hissing sound, and then a familiar voice rang out eerily from it.

"Zhao Lei, stop risking your life by getting involved with paranormal events. Come to Da'an City, and you'll find out what you're looking for."

The chill dissipated, the lights in the room returned to normal, and the photos in my hand became ordinary again.

But Zhao Lei suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Teacher Wong!"
