Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 75 Figures in the Subway
Wang Liang did not directly use the Slit-Mouthed Woman's Ghost Domain to quickly and directly reach the incident location between the two stations.

Instead, it moved along the routes that ordinary people take the subway, its figure flickering mysteriously as it passed by, observing the surrounding situation.

First, you go to the basement level, then follow the stairs to the subway entrance on the second basement level.

Upon arriving at this floor, Wang Liang could clearly feel that the temperature in the air had dropped significantly, and the stench of corpses in the air had become even stronger.

The subway doors leading to Shanglin Road Station were open, and gusts of cold wind carrying a strong stench of corpses blew out from the doors.

The open station doors resembled the entrance to the underworld, a gateway to the world of death, sending chills down one's spine.

Some things were scattered on the platform, with rescue-related tools and backpacks carelessly thrown on the ground.

Among them were several lost shoes, suggesting a chaotic scene of rescuers hastily evacuating the area.

Seeing nothing particularly special, Wang Liang took out a satellite phone.

Before the other end could speak, he said, "Regarding the Metro Line 16 incident, I'm about to take action," then hung up the phone. He appeared on the metro tracks in a flash and continued to dart towards Shanglin Road Station.

The speed is not fast; it always moves twenty meters in a single flash.

After Wang Liang had traveled a distance along the track, he could see that the tunnel floor and walls were stained with a lot of blood.

There were even some rotten, crushed pieces of flesh and body remains scattered on the tracks, which told Wang Liang that he was almost there.

After flashing forward for several hundred meters, Wang Liang finally saw a subway line that had stopped operating in the tunnel.

The subway's exterior is old, yellowed, and rusty. The once smooth exterior of the carriages is now riddled with potholes of varying sizes, and most of the windows and doors have been violently smashed.

Within sight, several corpses hung from the eaves of the carriage windows, their clothes stained with large patches of blood, their faces bearing the marks of terror, as if they had witnessed some extreme horror before their deaths.

At first glance, this doesn't look like a subway that was running normally just a month ago; it looks like it has been abandoned here for several years.

Wang Liang's faint figure flashed and instantly appeared inside the subway car.

Looking up, I saw a carriage full of corpses lying haphazardly, more than ten people in one carriage alone. The same situation could be seen in the carriages in front of me, with not a single survivor.

Statistics show that the death toll in this incident has exceeded 100. Given that there were no survivors in the subway and no one even had time to escape, it is suspected that the vengeful ghost committed indiscriminate killings at a very fast pace.

If the vengeful spirit here hadn't been temporarily identified as one without the ability to move, the mere fact that it indiscriminately killed people would have made this paranormal event a Level A threat.

Even so, due to the excessive number of casualties, especially the death of the person in charge, it was reclassified as a Class B crime.

Wang Liang squatted down to examine a corpse on the ground and discovered that large patches of bloodstains on the corpse's clothes had spread from near the chest.

He moved the body to its right position and immediately noticed the gruesome bloody hole in the left chest of the corpse, where the clothes were torn and the hole was completely open. The heart inside was missing, and one could see directly down to the floor of the carriage below.

As usual, Wang Liang moved the several corpses next to him and found that they all had one thing in common: their hearts were missing.

"Does this ghost kill people by ripping out their hearts?"

At least, judging from the injuries on these corpses, apart from a bloody hole in their chests and the disappearance of their hearts, there were no other injuries on their bodies.

Wang Liang felt a little relieved. If it was just a minor physical injury like having his heart removed, then this unknown vengeful ghost was nothing to fear.

That makes sense. It's not easy to encounter a ghost that attacks consciousness and has no physical form. In the original story, there were only a handful of intangible vengeful ghosts capable of attacking consciousness.

Tap, tap. The dull sound of footsteps echoed in the dim light, coming from the carriage ahead. After a few steps, the sound ceased.

Wang Liang turned his head to look at the connection between the two carriages.

In the darkness, a blurry black figure stood there stiffly, motionless.

With the aid of the supernatural, Wang Liang could see a man in a wrinkled suit standing in the darkness, his eyes closed, his face pale, and his body exuding a dark and haggard aura.

If it's not a living person, nor does it seem to be a ghost controller, then it can only be a vengeful ghost.

Wang Liang stood up and faced the man who resembled a vengeful ghost.

Swish.

Just as Wang Liang turned his body to a normal position, the man in the suit suddenly crossed most of the carriage and appeared eerily in front of him, almost face to face.

That pale, haggard, dead face was only a hand's width away from Wang Liang, almost filling his entire field of vision.

The man in the suit, whose eyes had been tightly closed, suddenly opened them, his pupils gray, his gaze empty and lifeless as he stared at Wang Liang.

Wang Liang did not move his body, but tilted his head slightly back and frowned.

It wasn't that I was scared, but rather that I wasn't used to being so close to a man—no, a male ghost.

He looked down at his chest; the man in the suit had already raised his arm, passing right through his heart.

Although the attack by the man in the suit was sudden, Wang Lianggang, who was on high alert, actually reacted in time and was even able to raise his hand to intercept the man in the suit who had just teleported over and was about to rip out his heart.

But he didn't do that; he did nothing except tilt his head back slightly.

Normally, Wang Liang's heart would have already been ripped out by the man in the suit.

However, Wang Liang's body was in a weak state at this time, and he was in the ghost realm of the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Once the ghost realm is opened, it can generally isolate other ghosts from supernatural attacks, and may not even attract the attention of weaker ghosts, because it is already in another space.

Especially since the man in the suit had his eyes closed just now, he couldn't see Wang Liang directly with his eyes.

However, the ghost in the suit possesses a somewhat eerie supernatural ability, as it can sense the location of Wang Liang, who is in the ghost realm.

However, the intensity of its supernatural attacks is clearly not yet strong enough to forcefully invade the Slit-Mouthed Demon Realm.

That ability to instantly teleport a distance doesn't seem like a ghost realm; it's more like another kind of special supernatural ability that can launch short-range attacks and has the function of crossing distances. At most, it can only be said to have the potential of a ghost realm.

The inability to invade the Ghost Realm means that even if they can notice Wang Liang, they cannot harm him.

Therefore, the suit-wearing ghost's arm passed directly through the phantom-like Wang Liang's chest without causing any damage.

As it stands, this ghost poses no threat to him.

This allowed Wang Liang to not rush to imprison the ghost, and even gave him the leisure to analyze the ghost's abilities while facing it face-to-face, trying to figure out its exact patterns so that he could use them in the future.

"It doesn't seem to be indiscriminate killing. It didn't attack me immediately when it first appeared. Did I just trigger its killing pattern? Should I get up, or... face it?"
