Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 49 I Have Insurance
Zhao Yang pressed the recorder button to begin the assessment.

"Name?"

"Wang Liang".

"gender?"

"?"

"Ahem, it's just routine, procedure, going through the motions," Zhao Yang explained with a cough.

"male."

"Place of origin?"

"Da'an City".

"Why do you want to become the person in charge of Da'an City?"

"I want to stay in my hometown."

"Um, any more?"

"For love and world peace."

"Well said! Now, next question: how long have you been a Ghost Tamer?"

"I cannot answer that."

Through several conversations with Zhao Jianguo and Su Xinxi, and their attitudes towards me.

Wang Liang speculated that his image at headquarters should be that of a mysterious ghost tamer who had been a ghost tamer for a long time.

His abilities are unknown; he was teaching in Dachang City for some inexplicable reason before, and it was only after the "knocking ghost" incident that his abilities were exposed.

Even when he solved paranormal events one after another, used the supernatural multiple times, and then deliberately appeared to be in a very good state afterwards.

He might also be suspected by headquarters that he has apparently solved the problem of the resurgence of vengeful spirits, and that he can use supernatural abilities to a certain extent at low cost or even without cost.

This was something Wang Liang deliberately displayed; in this world, hiding one's true abilities too much is meaningless, like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

The person who needs him to hide his abilities and avoid trouble knows exactly what he will do. If they don't eliminate him, it's already a tacit indulgence, so there's no need to worry.

As for others, he doesn't need to put in much effort to hide his talents.

After leaving behind some necessary trump cards, he needs to demonstrate his strength and value in order to gain more benefits and respect.

Therefore, maintaining the misunderstanding, keeping headquarters from figuring out the vengeful spirit he controls and the actual time he became a spirit tamer, and preserving his power and mystery, is definitely in his best interest.

"Is it inconvenient to answer? No, it is. However, this will affect the headquarters' evaluation. Well, in the end, it should not matter. Cough, then let's move on to the next question."

"Do you have any plans to settle down and start a family?" Zhao Yang continued to ask.

"Not for the time being," Wang Liang said.

"Oh, is that so? Hey, it's only temporary anyway. So, which type of woman do you like from these photos?"

Zhao Yang took out several photos, including mature women, young girls, students, and mature women of all types.

Wang Liang glanced at it and continued answering:
"It depends."

"What's going on?" Zhao Yang asked curiously.

"I might like mature women this morning, but I might like loli this afternoon."

"Oh, I understand, I won't be picky."

"almost."

"Okay, next one."

Zhao Yang was somewhat annoyed by this answer. When he faced these assessment questions, he thought that headquarters would use his answer to this question to arrange a wife for him. So he seriously pondered it for two and a half hours, but he never expected it to turn out this way.

"Next are the ability test questions, which will test your emergency response capabilities. Pay attention, the following questions are the key to this assessment."

Zhao Yang took out a photo and placed it in front of Wang Liang.

"This is a classic, but also very useful, question. A train is traveling on a track. At the fork ahead, seven children are tied up on the right track, which should be the normal track, while one child is tied up on the left track."

If you were the train driver, and you could contact the personnel controlling the track branch, and had the authority to decide whether to change the track in this incident, would you decide to continue the train as normal, killing seven children, or choose to change tracks, killing another child?

“I choose to brake,” Wang Liang said.

Zhao Yang paused for a moment, then added:

"If you can't stop, what should you do?"

“Then we’ll brake while continuing on the original track,” Wang Liang said without hesitation.

Zhao Yang, curious about Wang Liang's decisiveness, confirmed:
"So you chose to kill seven people?"

Wang Liang shook his head.

"You've got it wrong. It wasn't me who killed seven people, it was the bandits. I tried my best to stop them, but I couldn't."

In the end, things went wrong. It can only be said that they were destined to suffer this calamity. Their parents should blame the criminals the most, not the innocent train driver who tried his best to brake.

This is just an accident. At most, I'll face some moral condemnation, but I have insurance.

But you must understand, if I arbitrarily change course and choose to save these seven children who should have died, while abandoning another who should have lived, then that would be 'my' initiative to kill someone.

An accident can turn into murder.

The parents of the dead child wouldn't hate the robbers the most, but rather me, the murderer driver. The parents of the other seven children I saved, even if grateful, couldn't get me out of prison.

Zhao Yang nodded in understanding upon hearing Wang Liang's words.

"That's your idea, and I agree with it, but how to evaluate it depends on headquarters."

"Okay, next one, hurry up."

"Okay, next question."

The meaningless psychological test lasted for almost two hours before Zhao Yang turned off the recorder, packed his things, and got up.

"That's all. I'll take the recording to headquarters. Here's your Interpol ID and your new satellite phone. The old satellite phone you have needs to be retrieved. Don't mind it; it's a necessary procedure. Congratulations on becoming the official person in charge of Da'an City."

Wang Liang handed Zhou Zheng's satellite phone to Zhao Yang, took the new satellite phone, and said:

"This assessment is such a waste of time. In the end, they just gave me the certificate without even waiting for the results."

Zhao Yang winked at Wang Liang.

"Hey, I've assessed so many people and I've never seen anyone fail. It's just a face-saving project for headquarters. It's only a matter of a few days' delay. I'm giving it to you in advance. I don't need to come back in a few days."

After handing the golden box containing the old ghost to Zhao Yang and letting him take it away, the assessment was completely over, which also meant that Wang Liang had officially become the person in charge of Da'an City.

Although this is not very meaningful, because long before this assessment, after he arrived in Da'an City, he already had more power over the city than ordinary managers, which was the result of his negotiations with headquarters.

Now that the procedures are complete, he has officially become the person in charge.

Another day passed, and on the morning of the second day, Wang Liang packed his luggage and prepared to take a plane to Wangshan Village in Dahuai City to face the arrival of the film ghost.

[Location of Descent: Wangshan Village, Pingchai District, Dahuai City; Time of Descent: 1 days, 15 hours, and 21 seconds later; Number of Ghosts That Have Descended: 1]

With just over a day left before the arrival of the second film ghost, he needed to scout out Wangshan Village a day in advance to see what the situation was like there.
