Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 369 Portrait
Fang Shiming looked up and his pupils contracted.

The walls disappeared, leaving the world a vast expanse of gray, deathly silent and oppressive.

In this strange space, he was surrounded by a series of cold figures who had appeared there at some unknown time.

The female ghosts, dressed in white with black hair and whose faces were obscured, surrounded him stiffly in this room-sized open space, each one looking as if it had been carved from a template.

Looking up, the number of female ghosts was countless, standing densely together until they crowded to the edge of the visible range and were obscured by the thick fog in the distance.

"What a joke! How could you possibly do this!" Fang Shiming roared hoarsely, unable to believe what he was seeing.

But Wang Liang had no intention of explaining to him. With a press of his hand, black cracks appeared on the bodies of the derivative Sadakos, and the ear-piercing, grating sound of shattering mirrors echoed in the air.

The growing chilling aura told Fang Shiming just how terrifying Wang Liang's attack would be—a supernatural attack of unimaginable magnitude for a modern ghost tamer.

"Go away!"

With a wave of his hand, Fang Shiming forcefully released the stench of corpses that had been compressed around him.

But the next second, the fierce, eerie wind that had just risen around them shattered instantly.

The ghostly realm that had been forcibly maintained was broken through, and the previously strong stench of corpses was almost completely eliminated.

A heavy corpse fell from Fang Shiming's back, its body covered with hideous, twisted black cracks.

This oppressive ghost took the brunt of the attacks for Fang Shiming, and was forced into silence. Fang Shiming couldn't even sense the ghost's presence for a short time.

Even after overcoming a small portion of the combined attacks from the oppressive ghosts, it still exceeded Fang Shiming's expectations.

Black cracks covered almost the entire surface of his body, causing Fang Shiming to freeze in place like a fragile object.

Feeling the severe injury to his body, Fang Shiming's eyes were filled with a bloodshot color and cold black cracks. After a slight tremor, they suddenly shattered into two streams of blood, and his body reached its limit and was about to collapse.

"Damn it, you forced me to this, so let's die together."

Fang Shiming forcibly stimulated the revival of a certain vengeful spirit within his body, a spirit that he did not truly control.

Fang Shiming's chilling aura deepened, and he suddenly emitted an eerie color that was not entirely the same as the surrounding Sadako's gray-white ghostly aura.

The fading effect of Sadako's Ghost Domain wouldn't normally work on people or things with supernatural powers, but at this moment, the color on Fang Shiming disappeared, leaving only a black and white exuding deathly aura.

After the colors were completely removed from his body, Fang Shiming's body looked strangely flat, as if it had been compressed into a black and white photograph.

Moreover, the deathly black and white aura emanating from him was gradually spreading outwards, causing the area around him to flatten out.

This also makes the already broken Fang Shiming look more and more like someone who has stepped out of a funeral portrait.

The dense black cracks on Fang Shiming's body did not disappear, but they also stopped spreading, eerily freezing the collapse of his body, because the person in the portrait should be still.

However, this terrifying supernatural event did not come without a price. Fang Shiming was deathly pale, his back hunched, his body stiff and cold. He stood motionless and did not speak again.

Wang Liang frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Is this the third ghost's ability that Fang Shiming didn't show in the original story?"

Moreover, he felt that Fang Shiming's immobility and stiff stance at this moment was not solely due to supernatural abilities.

Fang Shiming seems more like a resurrected vengeful ghost, destined to become a true ghost of the deceased.

But it didn't matter. Wang Liang didn't care whether Fang Shiming was a human or a ghost now, and he raised his hand.

The Sadako figures that had vanished due to the Mirror Shattering Curse returned to the group, and then black cracks resembling shattered mirrors appeared on their surfaces once more. The superimposed curse was released again, striking the ever-expanding portrait in the center.

The black and white, which was even more intense and vivid than gray and white, stopped spreading, but Fang Shiming in the portrait did not appear to have been harmed.

Although its body was broken, it remained frozen in place, not completely crushed.

After a few seconds of pause, the surrounding black and white area began to expand outwards again, attempting to turn everything around it into a ghost image.

Wang Liang could sense that the curse released by Sadako disappeared as if erased after touching the area around the portrait, which is why it did not harm Fang Shiming, or rather, the vengeful ghost.

This erasure can also be described as an extreme form of suppression. This black and white area has an extremely terrifying resistance to the supernatural, grinding away the invisible curse that Sadako had attacked, like a millstone.

However, Wang Liang's expression did not change; the number of times he had stacked the numbers just now was not many.

He simply raised his hand and used the Ghost Domain to summon another batch of Sadako, this time in even greater numbers.

Sadako's stacking attack method is a one-for-one exchange; each additional Sadako is exchanged for a curse.

His current stacking speed isn't fast; the ability to pull out a large number of Sadako at once is the result of pre-stacked stacking and storage in the Demon Well. Therefore, he leaves some room for maneuver in his regular attacks.

The first move is always a probe, but very few people can survive until the second wave of attacks.

The Mirror Shattering Curse, taken individually, is not terrifying, and could even be considered ordinary, but a large number of ants can still kill an elephant.

Even if the intensity is weak, as long as it can be added together, it is a simple and unadorned crushing force for a ghost tamer or a physical vengeful ghost who cannot perform supernatural accumulations.

The countless Sadako figures reappeared, then shattered, and the superimposed curses collectively bombarded the black and white area.

This superimposed attack was even more terrifying, with cracks being forcibly torn open in the solidified black and white area in an instant.

The portrait was shattered, and Fang Shiming, who was standing in the center of the black and white area, was attacked again.

However, there was no blood splattering on his mangled body, as if he had already bled to death. After an abnormal tremor, he finally fell flat on his back to the ground.

[A suppressed vengeful spirit has been detected, capable of becoming a piece of Sadako's puzzle. Do you wish to control it?]

"The vengeful spirit has indeed revived; it does have a certain decisiveness."

Wang Liang raised an eyebrow and chose to take control.

The ghost that Sadako can control is Fang Shiming's third ghost, which can be called the ghost of the remains.

Fang Shiming's stiff body softened slightly, as if he had lost something.

Wang Liang, on the other hand, sensed a special kind of supernatural power within him, the ability of the ghost of the remains.

It allows one to step out of the portrait and into reality, turning the surrounding area into a portrait.

Within the area containing the portrait, one is protected from any tangible or intangible supernatural attacks, including those on a conscious level.

This certainly has its limits, but it was still enough for Wang Liang to withstand many terrifying attacks.

The slumped ghost in his hands was even stronger than Fang Shiming's performance after he actively revived.
