Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 375 Restart
Ten minutes later, Ye Zhen was still standing there in a daze, not moving. The manager couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think?"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen looked up at the sky and let out a loud sigh, which startled the manager. The manager cursed inwardly that Ye Zhen was really crazy.

"Alas! How pathetic and lamentable! Although he was defeated by me before, Xiao Fang was still barely worthy of my attention. But this time he was too attached to appearances and actually went to provoke Wang Wudi. He really couldn't think straight."

"Alas, it seems that Xiao Fang, even after our epic battle at the peak, remained stubbornly clinging to his illusory status and power. He is ultimately nothing more than a remnant of the old-fashioned mindset. The great ship of the new era, the supernatural revival, still rests with me, Ye, and Wang Wudi at the helm!"

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Zhen, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it and started to act like a wound-up toy. He would point out the state of affairs, shake his head, and sigh repeatedly, as if he was genuinely lamenting Fang Shiming's death.

The manager, looking exasperated, interrupted Ye Zhen: "President Ye, I mean, is our paranormal forum planning to do anything?"

Ye Zhen turned around and looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing? What you need to do now is prepare breakfast for me. Oh, right, add sugar and milk, thank you."

"Okay, I understand."

The night passed, and early the next morning,

Wang Xiaoming, under Li Jun's protection, arrived at the Ping An Hotel to find Wang Liang and Yang Jian.

Wang Xiaoming brought back a message from headquarters. Just as Wang Liang and Yang Jian had guessed at the hotel, headquarters made no mention of what happened last night, acting as if nothing had happened and swallowing all their dissatisfaction.

This only indicates that the higher-ups have held an emergency meeting overnight and decided to officially adopt Wang Liang's plan to lure the ghost painting to deal with the ghost messengers. They expect to take action tonight after making preparations.

"I came here to ask you, since you proposed the plan to summon ghost paintings, you must have other purposes, right? In my character profile, you are not the kind of person who would give headquarters an action plan for no reason."

In the hotel suite, Wang Xiaoming, Wang Liang, and Yang Jian each sat on a sofa, forming a triangle as they talked.

Because Li Jun was useless, Wang Xiaoming kicked him out, and he squatted outside the door, frowning and smoking.

"So what are you planning to do? According to Zhang Lei and the others' reports, you have successfully stolen some of the supernatural abilities of the ghost messengers, and even helped Yang Jian steal some. Are you now trying to completely control the ghost messengers through the Ghost Painting? Using your unknown and special method of control? Or are you actually eyeing the Ghost Painting itself?"

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoming turned his head with interest to look at Yang Jian, who was sitting on another sofa with a blank expression. He lingered on Yang Jian's head for a few seconds, staring at Yang Jian so intently that Yang Jian's fists clenched quietly.

Wang Xiaoming's prediction was very accurate; the only discrepancy was that Wang Liang wanted everything, rather than making a choice.

However, Wang Liang neither admitted nor denied it, only saying:

"Anyway, it won't be a bad thing for headquarters."

Wang Xiaoming nodded, not pressing for details: "In that case, I can change my action plan slightly. I originally planned to have Li Jun lead a team of several top ghost controllers from headquarters to the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain to imprison ghost officers or ghost paintings as needed."

However, it seems you'll be going into the Ghost Painting yourself, so it'll be safer for you to lead the team. Dajing City can't afford any problems."

Wang Liang said, "I can lead the team, and I do need to enter the Ghost Painting, but I still need to be paid, since it's also a way to solve a problem for headquarters."

“That makes sense. What do you need?” Wang Xiaoming asked.

Wang Liang pointed to Yang Jian and explained Yang Jian's current situation, as well as the plan involving Guo Fan. When he learned that the plan required Guo Fan to die in Yang Jian's place, Wang Xiaoming agreed without hesitation.

"Yes, I will get Minister Cao to agree as well. I will personally talk to Guo Fan, and he will agree."

Wang Liang laughed and said, "If Guo Fan needs my help, he can call me anytime. You can also call Yang Jian. It's free."

Yang Jian nodded slowly, indicating that Teacher Wang was right.

"No need, I'll have Li Jun take care of it," Wang Xiaoming said calmly.

"It's not over yet. After the Ghost Messenger and Ghost Painting incident is over, I'm going to go to the headquarters where the vengeful ghosts are imprisoned and take five of them away."

Wang Xiaoming frowned: "What level of vengeful ghosts do you want?"

"I don't know, we'll have to see for ourselves," Wang Liang said.

Wang Xiaoming said, "That's going too far. The place where the vengeful ghosts are imprisoned is top secret. Moreover, you want to take away five ghosts. If you take all A-level ghosts, headquarters will definitely not agree. Unless you hand over one of the imprisoned S-level vengeful ghosts afterward, then it's perfectly acceptable. Headquarters might even give you some compensation."

Wang Liang shook his head and rejected the suggestion; he didn't want to let any of the ghost paintings or strange characters go unnoticed.

Wang Xiaoming stood up: "Since you disagree, I will tell Minister Cao your request. The conditions may be adjusted in the end, since the action plan has already been developed. However, if you are not leading the team, the risk will be greater, but it is not completely indispensable."

"If, in the end, you don't get your hands on the S-rank vengeful ghost at headquarters, and then you take away five A-rank vengeful ghosts, that will be unacceptable to headquarters."

"Alright, let's discuss it as soon as possible. Just call me when we're going to act tonight. Don't forget about Guo Fan; we only have two and a half days."

Wang Xiaoming was about to leave the room, but when he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Yang Jian, then at Wang Liang.

"Yang Jian's head was confirmed to have been cut in half. You managed to save him. His consciousness survived because of the music box. But what about his physical recovery?"
As far as I know, the physical condition of the ghost-controlling person downstairs named Huang Ziya, and the resurgence of the vengeful spirit, have also improved dramatically. She said it was you who did it. Would you mind telling me how you did it?

Wang Liang nodded, not hiding anything: "I did it. I've got a new ghost under my control. You know it, Gao Zhiqiang."

"A liar? His ghost can actually do this much, even affecting the resurgence of vengeful spirits? I underestimated him." Wang Xiaoming frowned.

Wang Xiaoming seemed to have his thoughts wander elsewhere. He stood by the door, lost in thought for a moment, then looked up at Wang Liang with a meaningful gaze:
“That’s interesting. I’ve been reviewing the surveillance footage from the place where Yang Jian was attacked last night, before it malfunctioned, and I noticed something interesting. This ghost might be more useful to you. If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime.”

After saying that, Wang Xiaoming left the room.

Yang Jian stared blankly at the closed door, and he couldn't quite understand the conversation between Teacher Wang and Wang Xiaoming towards the end.

"What did he mean?"

Wang Liang smiled nonchalantly and explained, "Reboot."
