Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 374 External Shocks

Yang Jian took out the human skin paper and asked when the music box curse would break out.

As always, the human skin paper was uncooperative and initially ignored Yang Jian.

After Yang Jian's stern threats, the human skin paper finally provided a message.

"I will die in three days," Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

"There's still enough time; three days should be enough."

Wang Liang pondered a solution. Besides using the method from the original storyline, he also had a ghostly piano imprisoned at the Caesars Hotel.

The piano is shrouded in a curse of a fatal piano piece, a curse of a music box, and another curse of a piano piece in the possession of a foreign king; they are all supernatural pieces in a puzzle.

Let Yang Jian play the music box curse on that piano to neutralize the inevitable death melody.

Perhaps, like Xianglan in the original story, we could try to resolve the curse of the music box and even steal these two supernatural entities.

However, the supernatural theft of consciousness is too risky and extremely dangerous.

Xianglan had a problem before, and her consciousness was almost trapped and died in the midst of a vengeful ghost.

It's best to wait until Yang Jian becomes an anomaly and controls the Ghost Dream before discussing this matter.

Gui Meng hasn't fully become a 'dog' yet. Once she does, she'll have to take Yang Jian to the post office so Yang Xiao can help her recognize her master.

Therefore, this matter is not urgent; it is better to proceed according to the normal plan.

Most importantly, Wang Liang has his eye on Guo Fan. He needs Guo Fan to die so he can obtain Guo Fan's ghost tablet, which is related to a certain scene in his future.

The reason Guo Fan wasn't killed during the attack on WeChat Moments was because a person in charge who wasn't part of WeChat Moments suddenly died—it was too obvious.

Even without evidence, he will inevitably face more suspicion and apprehension.

It's understandable that the person in charge of the WeChat Moments was taken down, but if the others were also killed, the headquarters would be easily breached, and it might require Elder Qin to take action.

Given the availability of a more reasonable approach, Wang Liang didn't want to create unnecessary trouble for himself.

"I have a solution here."

Wang Liang gave Yang Jian a brief description of the plan involving Guo Fan.

"Transferring consciousness? If the music box curse also transfers with me, then in the end I'll probably just end up handing my body over to Guo Fan." Yang Jian's expression was uncertain.

But he quickly exhaled and chose to believe Teacher Wang.

“Okay, but headquarters might not be willing to let Guo Fan die, after all, Guo Fan didn’t do anything wrong,” Yang Jian said.

"Let Wang Xiaoming handle this matter. After all, he's someone who likes to weigh values ​​and will make the right choice."

Speaking of this, Wang Liang thought of something.
"By the way, have you ever had any contact with the Ghost Chest or made any deals with it?"

Yang Jian was taken aback, but still nodded and said, "Yes, two prices for one request. I've made a few deals with that thing."

"What does Ghost Cabinet want you to do now?"

"Go find a woman."

Yang Jian took out a photo. In the photo was a woman sitting in front of an old wooden house.

She wore a red dress in the style of the Republic of China era, had jet-black hair, and wore a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes, the same pair as the vengeful ghost that Wang Liang had killed at the training base, likely the same pair. Most striking was her pair of porcelain-white hands, folded on her knees, very eye-catching, allowing one to feel the uniqueness of her hands even through the photograph.

"It's a terrible drawing." Wang Liang stared at the photograph.

"Ghost Painting? Is this woman the S-rank vengeful ghost Ghost Painting?" Yang Jian exclaimed in astonishment, then fell into deep thought.

"Yes, I once came across a ghost painting in Dachang City. I saw a pair of hands nailed to a candlestick, which looked very similar to the hands of the person in the photo."

Wang Liang shook his head: "The ghost painting is just a ghost that the person in the photo once controlled. However, as long as you find the source of the ghost painting and get close enough, the transaction of the ghost cabinet can be considered complete."

Headquarters will definitely choose to use the ghost painting. You and I will go together then to complete the ghost cabinet transaction. Guo Fan's ghostly position has a significant problem. You should have the ghost cabinet protect your consciousness for a period of time to prevent accidents from happening during the process of resolving the music box curse, and to avoid your consciousness being corrupted or killed by the ghost.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed a safer approach, so he agreed.

"However, I only have three days. The headquarters is too slow in handling matters."

"Don't worry, after tonight, headquarters won't dawdle anymore. They definitely want to end everything as soon as possible so I can leave Dajing City," Wang Liang said with a smile.

The ghostly domain that had sealed off the city dissipated, and communication between headquarters and all parties returned to normal. They also immediately tallied the total number of deaths that night.

The result caused a period of silence among the headquarters' senior management.

All the ghost-tamers in my WeChat Moments either disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood, or left behind a mangled corpse without any vengeful spirit in their room or on the street.

Even He Tianxiong, who had fled to the edge of the city but still died tragically in the driver's seat, was discovered, and headquarters arranged for people to urgently dispose of his body to prevent further spread.

Most of the ordinary people within those social circles also died, and those with slightly closer connections were found dead somewhere in the city.

In my vast social circle, I guess only cleaning staff and similar people are still alive. They wake up the next day and are completely bewildered to find themselves suddenly unemployed.

The body found downstairs at the Ping An Building, suspected to be Fang Shiming, has been confirmed to be Fang Shiming himself.

In addition, important figures including assistant Li Yao and General Manager Fei have been confirmed dead. Their bodies fell from a height and died in a gruesome manner, which is Wang Liang's response.

Before dawn, headquarters silently and swiftly disposed of the bodies, having those in the know sign confidentiality agreements.

But what happened tonight still inevitably spread within the paranormal community.

Dahai City
As one of the top non-governmental ghost-controlling organizations in China, the paranormal forum was plunged into a somber atmosphere after its leader was beaten badly in a public confrontation.

But after more than half a month, the forum members have recovered their spirits and, encouraged by Ye Zhen's appearance, are determined to work hard and create new glories!
The top floor of a building,
Ye Zhen stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, calmly watching a beam of sunlight gradually emerge from the darkness on the distant horizon, silently contemplating life.

But then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and before anyone could knock, the manager rushed in.

"President Ye, something has happened in Dajing City. Last night, Wang Liang sealed off the entire Dajing City with his Ghost Domain and forcefully wiped out all Ghost Masters in the WeChat Moments, including even those who joined the headquarters' WeChat Moments."

Jiang Shangbai and Fang Shiming, who were nominated as team captains, have both been confirmed dead! Wang Liang hasn't given headquarters any face at all. We've verified the information; it's accurate!

"What was the reason for taking action?" Ye Zhen didn't turn around, and his tone didn't change; it seemed like he was just asking casually.

The manager was slightly taken aback, sensing that Mr. Ye's reaction was a bit off, but still responded:
"I heard that he was Wang Liang's student. That Ghost Eye Yang Jian was taken down by some strange means in the circle of friends first. Then Wang Liang was also attacked, but he was fine and started to clean up the circle of friends in return."

Strangely, the latest news suggests that Yang Jian isn't dead either; his severed head has even regenerated, which contradicts some of the photos we obtained. Either Wang Liang revived him, or it's all a staged event, an excuse Wang Liang used to dismantle his network.

The room fell silent. Ye Zhen didn't reply immediately, seemingly lost in thought. The manager didn't disturb him further.
