Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 344 Three Choices
“Zhang Lei, the Ghost Eater, come in and sit down. I only opened the door because I knew it was you.”

Wang Liang pointed to the seat opposite him.

Seeing Wang Liang's attitude, Zhang Lei's pale and stiff face relaxed slightly. He walked in and sat down opposite Wang Liang.

Seeing that Wang Liang's physical condition was otherwise normal except for his slightly paler skin, Zhang Lei felt a hint of envy.

"As expected of a man who can solve S-class paranormal cases, your physical condition looks exactly the same as an ordinary person."

"No need for formalities, we're all colleagues. Tell me about the vengeful spirit you control. I've seen your file, but I'd still like to hear about you personally," Wang Liang said.

Zhang Lei nodded: "The vengeful ghost I control is very fierce. It's one of the few ghosts that can directly devour other vengeful ghosts, just like the hungry ghost in the S-level paranormal case you solved in the island nation. And this ghost is growing on my chest."

Zhang Lei pointed to his chest. Wang Liang looked over and saw that his clothes were indeed slightly bulging, vaguely resembling a human head.

"I deal with paranormal events using this ghost head on my chest. It's very brutal. I find the vengeful ghost, hug it, and as soon as another vengeful ghost touches me, this ghost head on my chest will revive and then swallow that ghost whole."

As he spoke, Zhang Lei, wanting to give Wang Liang a better view and help him figure out how to control the new vengeful ghost, simply lifted up his clothes.

Zhang Lei was thin and gaunt under his clothes, with a sunken chest.

There were hardly any good pieces of meat nearby; almost all that remained was a layer of grayish-brown human skin, clinging tightly to the ribs.

On the sunken part of the chest, a rotting human head with a nose, mouth, and all the facial features, but with its eyes closed, was embedded in the surface, emitting a stench of decay.

Wang Liang stared at the human head on Zhao Lei's chest, but his mind drifted to the human head balloon he had imprisoned, and the ghost-tamer in his WeChat Moments who controlled a dead man's head.

These are all individual ghost heads; I wonder if they are connected.

After glancing at it for a few moments, Wang Liang looked up at Zhang Lei and said, "You should know that law: ghosts cannot be killed."

Zhang Lei was taken aback, then nodded.

"So you should also understand that the ghosts you eat don't die or get digested; they're always inside your body. How many ghosts have you eaten?" Wang Liang said.

“Two,” Zhang Lei said with a heavy heart.

Wang Liang sat up: "I have two methods for you."

Zhang Lei was pleasantly surprised; Wang Liang really did have a solution. He quickly asked, "What is it?"

"You should be able to see that the demon on your chest is no longer just a human head; a small part of its body outline has also appeared. This part shouldn't have been there before; it's the result of your further revival after you ate two demons."

“Yes, it was just the outline of a dead man’s head before, and it wasn’t as clear as it is now.” Zhang Lei nodded solemnly.

Wang Liang said, "My two solutions are: First, I will find a way to remove the two ghosts that you have swallowed. This will weaken the resurgence of your evil spirits. And if I can remove them once, I can remove them a second time."

"If you consume more vengeful spirits later, and the demonic head on your chest is on the verge of revival, you can still come to me to deal with it. As long as I'm alive, your vengeful spirit's revival won't be a problem."

"This, this can still be taken out? How do we take it out?" Zhang Lei's stiff face couldn't suppress the excitement that showed through his expression.

"Don't rush, let me finish," Wang Liang said.

"Oh, Wang Liang, go ahead." Zhang Lei took a deep breath, feeling that he had made the right decision to come. Wang Liang said, "Secondly, I'll help you control a new vengeful ghost. This will create a balance between the ghost's supernatural conflicts and allow you to unleash more supernatural power, thus delaying your recovery."

As for the second vengeful ghost suitable for you, I've also identified one. Once you've mastered that ghost, you can use its head to devour other vengeful ghosts. Devouring two or three won't cause any problems at all; on the contrary, it will make your balance more stable to some extent, and the supernatural power you can unleash will become stronger and stronger.

"Great! Is it one of the ghosts from headquarters, or one of the ones you imprisoned, Wang Liang?" Zhang Lei asked excitedly.

Wang Liang said, "I haven't imprisoned that ghost yet, but I know that ghost's abilities are suitable for you, and I can take you to imprison it, but I have conditions."

"Please just tell me, as long as it's within my power," Zhang Lei said hurriedly.

"You should know about the captain's plan, right?" Wang Liang asked.

“I know a little about that. Someone tried to recruit me to join them and promote their nominee captain, but I didn’t agree. By the way, Wang Liang, you’re also nominated for captain. Do you want me to help you?” Zhang Lei said.

Wang Liang shook his head: "No, I can tell you in advance that I've already been internally selected, but don't let it slip. What I want to tell you is that after becoming the captain, you can form a Ghost Tamer squad, legally bring the heads of headquarters into the squad, manage several cities at the same time, and become a force to be reckoned with. I'm giving you three choices."

First, as compensation for making you give up your spot with Professor Wang, I will help you retrieve the ghost you consumed while controlling the vengeful spirit, thus alleviating your resurgence. I also promise that you can come to me again for free to retrieve a vengeful spirit to alleviate its resurgence in the future.

Second, I will tell you the location of the second ghost that is suitable for you to control, but I will not be responsible for retrieving it for you. I will only give you a means to save your life once, and you will have to retrieve it yourself.

Once you have it, I can help you control it and ensure that, at the very least, you will survive.

I can tell you in advance that the place is very complicated and is a haunted place. If you go in alone, you may get the ghost without any risk, or you may die as soon as you enter.

three."

At this point, Wang Liang looked into Zhang Lei's eyes and slowly said:

"Become a member of my Ghost Tamer Squad. For my teammates, I will help you with both of the above points, and I will personally accompany you to obtain the vengeful ghost that is suitable for you to tame. The choice is yours."

After Wang Liang finished speaking, he waited for Zhang Lei's answer.

Zhang Lei hesitated. If it were only the first two, there would be nothing to hesitate about.

The second option may have a better future, but the uncertainty is too high, and it is very likely that there will be no future at all.

Choosing the first option would delay the resurgence, and he could then ask Wang Liang for help. By paying some price, he could solve the problem of the vengeful ghost's resurgence, which he thought was quite good.

After all, he didn't think someone like Wang Liang would die before him.

But the third option, which was to join Wang Liang's team, did make him hesitate for a moment.

This is different from supporting the election of the team leader; he himself does not actually want to join any faction other than the head of headquarters.

This means taking sides completely and engaging in power struggles with various factions, which will inevitably lead to a troublesome future.

But the temptation of the third option was indeed very strong. He needed it, and could even control the second ghost relatively safely, which was his initial goal.
