Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 354 Jiang Dares Not Speak
"I think I heard someone calling me?"

The surrounding gray-white ghostly aura disappeared, and the display screen on the stage returned to normal, but a cold aura still lingered in the conference room, making the temperature here much lower than before.

The dozen or so ghost tamers attending the meeting all focused their gazes on the figure at the end of the conference table, their expressions varying—some awe, some joy, and some fear.

'Wang Liang! Why is he here again? Didn't he choose to stay out of it?!'

Jiang Shangbai's expression changed drastically, and he felt extremely guilty. He still hadn't lowered his hand when he pointed at Cao Yang. A person was standing up, making him very conspicuous.

Wang Liang turned his gaze over, and Jiang Shangbai immediately felt his body stiffen, a sense of dread rising in his heart, as if he were being stared at by a vicious ghost.

"Who is this? Cao Yang, why is he pointing at you?" Wang Liang asked slowly.

Cao Yang chuckled softly. As Jiang Shangbai was one of the nominated team captains, Cao Yang didn't believe Wang Liang didn't recognize him; he thought Wang Liang was deliberately mocking him. He played along, saying:
"Oh, him? His name is Jiang Shangbai. He's one of the nominated team leaders recommended by my friends. He just suggested that you handle the ghost messenger incident on your own. I suggested that I go with him, but he refused."

Wang Liang certainly knew of Jiang Shangbai, but didn't know what he looked like. Hearing Cao Yang say this, he suddenly realized, "Oh, the 'black-faced monster' in my WeChat Moments? No wonder."

“So it’s Captain Jiang. Cao Yang might not have expressed himself accurately. Could you repeat what you just said, and I’ll think about it?” Wang Liang said calmly to Jiang Shangbai.

Jiang Shangbai's back was already soaked with sweat. No one present could understand how he felt, the feeling of being specifically targeted by Wang Liang.

The vengeful spirits within him felt a slight tremor; this sense of oppression was something even President Fang couldn't provide.

'Are you kidding me? I manage to control three ghosts, but if I speak again, I'll die, I'll definitely die! He really dares to attack here!'

Jiang Shangbai felt that the conference room was colder than before. He even vaguely felt that there was an unseen person behind him, blowing on his neck with an eerie warmth that was different from the coldness around him.

The chilling aura surrounding him, which seemed to erode the pores of his skin, was constantly telling him one thing.

Wang Liang could act at any moment, and he was already prepared. The moment he opened his mouth, he would die, and even the three ghosts couldn't save him.

This premonition was so strong that Jiang Shangbai dared not speak or even move, his hand still frozen, pointing at Cao Yang.

However, Cao Yang didn't mind at all now, and looked at him with a playful smile.

Only after Wang Liang arrived did Wang Xiaoming finally lift his head from his sullen silence, and said wearily to Wang Liang:
"Since you arrived, the ghost messengers and Huanggang Village have undergone some changes. The ghost messengers that have now been fully formed seem to have other abilities, but the current data is not enough for me to analyze them."

But one thing is certain: the ghost messenger has acquired Wei Jing's wisdom. Wei Jing was the experimenter for my experiment on humanizing ghosts, a veteran ghost tamer.

With Wei Jing's experience and wisdom, the ghost messengers are now in greater danger. We can't yet determine the exact number of ghost messengers available for suppression, so I called you here first. Don't rush to the training base, lest the situation worsen.

Wang Liang turned his gaze away from Jiang Shangbai and looked at Wang Xiaoming.

Even though he had composed himself somewhat, Wang Xiaoming's frustration and heaviness were still evident when he spoke of the ghost messengers.

"I'm not in a hurry. I still have confidence in Yang Jian. He won't die so easily."

After Wang Liang spoke to Wang Xiaoming, Jiang Shangbai felt the extremely dangerous feeling of being watched by a vengeful ghost disappear. He breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, then sat down again, head bowed and silent. No one present paid attention to Jiang Shangbai's actions; everyone's attention was focused on the conversation between Wang Liang and Wang Xiaoming.

No one thought it was problematic for Jiang Shangbai, who was nominated as a team captain like Wang Liang, to back down like this, after all, it was Wang Liang.

"This is my fault, but the key right now is to deal with the ghost messengers and prevent S-level paranormal events from spreading throughout Dajing City."

"I've told you what I know about the current situation of the ghost messengers. Do you have any ideas? As long as you can deal with the ghost messengers, you can make any request," Wang Xiaoming said.

At this moment, Cao Yanhua slammed his hand on the table again and said urgently, "Professor Wang is right. Wang Liang, as long as you can solve this problem, the headquarters will try its best to meet any request you make. We must not let Dajing City have any problems."

Wang Liang did not respond immediately, but instead pondered the current gap between himself and the ghost messenger.

The ghost messengers are even more terrifying than before. After imprisoning and suppressing vengeful ghosts and increasing the number of those they can control, they can even use the supernatural abilities of imprisoned vengeful ghosts, just like the starving ghosts.

It goes without saying that it can be infinitely restarted and that its true form is the coffin ghost realm.

Facing the ghost messengers head-on, Wang Liang believed that even if there were eight or nine slots for suppressing the ghost messengers, he was not afraid now.

Leaving aside the Slit-Mouthed Woman and Freddy Krueger, even just talking about Sadako, she's no longer the Sadako she once was.

It incorporates so many puzzle pieces, especially a large puzzle like the Ghost Well.

If Sadako were to face the ghost messengers again, the ghost messengers would not think they could suppress Sadako with just one spot. After several qualitative changes, the strength of the supernatural power would be evident.

Even with Sadako back then, if Wang Liang hadn't wanted to test the criteria for judging ghost messengers, he would have used Sadako's true form directly.

With his alternative reboot and derivative Sadako, he can still make the three ghost messengers with suppression slots helpless against him when facing him alone.

Getting people out of trouble isn't difficult, but to imprison the ghost messengers, you need the ability to completely suppress their ghost domain.

The strength of the Ghost Messenger's Ghost Domain is not particularly high. Yang Jian's Ghost Eye can reach the truth of the Ghost Messenger's Ghost Domain at the fourth level, and can invade and counter-invade at the fifth level.

However, entering and exiting are one thing, but the Kuchisake-onna's ghost domain cannot completely suppress the special coffin ghost domain of the ghost messengers; it can only suppress it slightly.

It's unclear whether Sadako's current strength is sufficient to restart the Ghost Domain; he hasn't tried it and can't say for sure.

Even the Ghost Painting, which claims to be the strongest ghost domain, can only suppress ghost messengers into a village and, relying on its special ghost domain characteristics, pack them up and take them away.

Thinking of this, Wang Liang suddenly remembered another question and asked:
"If I remember correctly, after you destroyed the ghost messenger's vessel, even if the ghost messenger using Wei Jing as its vessel were to revive, the initial number of suppressed slots should be 0. Why would it attack the ghost tamers at the training base? Besides the two I have, where is the third destroyed vessel you created?"

Wang Xiaoming said, "In order to protect me, Li Jun nailed that thing to the ghost messenger. If something goes wrong and the ghost messenger escapes, there will be two suppression slots."

Wang Liang nodded: "That's troublesome. And Professor Wang, you also know about the situation of the ghost messengers. Besides the inescapable suppression, what makes it really difficult for the ghost messengers to imprison them is another ability."
