Wang Liang shook his head. It was all a little far-fetched. These matters were too distant from him; whether it was Yang Jian or not, that level was not something the current him could understand.
After waiting a while longer, the uncanny value recording stopped.
[Uncanny Record Value: 95%]
Wang Liang felt somewhat puzzled. It actually hadn’t maxed out?
He had no idea what determined the amount recorded by this uncanny value. Supernatural scale? That should be one factor, but it didn’t seem to be all of it. There ought to be other, more complicated factors involved.
Otherwise, the Knocking Ghost had only been recorded for a short while and was already at 26%, and it could still keep growing.
Yet this suspected “Yang Jian,” the master of the ghost eyes, had been obediently recorded to completion, and it had only increased by 69%. That was not much higher.
Was it because he had been pinned down and had not revived?
This required more examples to verify. Wang Liang did not dwell on it. He stepped forward, avoiding the black blood on the ground, wanting to pull out the coffin nail.
The black blood had flowed from this dark figure, and it also possessed supernatural power.
Although it was very incomplete, after separating from the black figure, it could still be counted as a fierce ghost. Best not to touch it.
Hm? Wait.
Wang Liang’s movements halted. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the black blood on the ground.
Could this thing... serve as a supernatural puzzle piece for Sadako?
The system could help Wang Liang control the supernatural pieces of Sadako that had been scattered into this world, as well as those fierce ghosts suitable to become Sadako’s supernatural puzzle pieces.
He had no idea what Sadako’s own scattered pieces were, but this ghost blood before him should count as a suitable piece, right?
This thing felt quite universal. It could fit with anything.
Wang Liang looked at the coffin nail, then at the black blood on the ground. After a brief moment of thought, he took a few steps back. He wanted to test the guess he had just made, and it was better to pull out the coffin nail last.
Wang Liang took a one-inch photo from his clothing pocket and tossed it onto the ground. Supernatural power was activated, and Sadako’s curse spread.
The photo was contaminated by the curse as a medium. Within the photo, Wang Liang’s face began to change, finally turning into a white-clothed Sadako that crawled eerily out of that tiny one-inch photograph and stood silently beside Wang Liang, hair disheveled, her entire body exuding a cold, resentful, venomous aura.
Part of Wang Liang’s consciousness had been transmitted along with the curse when it was released, appearing within this derivative Sadako. Only then could he completely control this derivative Sadako.
Otherwise, he could only make her carry out basic commands such as stopping or attacking.
Wang Liang controlled the derivative Sadako to walk toward the black blood on the ground. Once she drew near, he had her press her deathly pale hands toward that puddle of black blood.
Hiss, hiss—
That puddle of black blood seemed to possess extremely powerful corrosiveness. The moment the derivative Sadako’s hands touched it, they were corroded by the black blood, cracks appearing across her palms. After all, a derivative Sadako was not a true ghost; she could be damaged and killed.
Wang Liang frowned, then took three more one-inch photos from his pocket and threw them out.
The curse spread, and three cold, eerie Sadakos crawled out of the photos, moving on both hands and feet toward the puddle of black ghost blood on the ground. Once they approached, they likewise thrust their hands into the black blood.
This method of supernatural operation was indeed feasible.
After sensing the condition of his body, summoning four Sadakos at once did not cause any abnormal reaction in him. He could control them.
This time, Wang Liang had transmitted a bit of consciousness into each derivative Sadako.
Although five images appeared in his mind, Wang Liang did not feel dizzy at all.
After controlling Sadako, he could handle this situation very well, as if it were an instinct.
Of course, consciousness control was the limit. He absolutely could not go a step further and deepen the curse, restarting all four mediums at the same time.
That consequence was likely more than he could bear.
And after all four derivative Sadakos pressed their hands into the black blood together, what appeared to be ordinary contact was in truth already a supernatural clash. The result soon appeared.
[Detected that the suppressed fierce ghost can become a puzzle piece of “Sadako.” Fuse?]
Joy appeared on Wang Liang’s face. It really worked. After separating from the black figure, this puddle of ghost blood could indeed be regarded as a fierce ghost, and it could become one of Sadako’s puzzle pieces.
Moreover, this also meant that part of the 69% uncanny value that had just increased came from this black ghost blood.
Wang Liang confirmed the fusion. Immediately afterward, under an invisible force, the black ghost blood on the ground began burrowing into the corroded, rotting palms of the four derivative Sadakos, absorbed by them.
After the puddle of ghost blood on the ground was completely absorbed, the four derivative Sadakos shattered in place into flying ash.
And the portion of Wang Liang’s consciousness within the derivative Sadakos, along with the supernatural power of the black ghost blood, returned to Wang Liang’s main body through a special connection.
It was a very wondrous feeling. Wang Liang had not expected the supernatural power of the ghost blood to return to his body in such a way and be controlled by him.
“Supernatural power can be both tangible and intangible?”
Black ghost blood was a kind of supernatural power. It did not necessarily have to exist as a physical entity. Under certain special circumstances, such as when serving as one of Sadako’s supernatural puzzle pieces, it could move along with Sadako’s curse as a kind of intangible force.
And this also meant that not only could Wang Liang’s main body use the black ghost blood, but those derivative Sadakos could also, due to the supernatural puzzle piece, carry ghost blood with them to corrode and attack. Their offensive power was stronger than before.
The ghost blood was controlled by the derivative Sadakos, the derivative Sadakos were controlled by Sadako’s main body, and Sadako’s main body was controlled by Wang Liang. That was equivalent to the ghost blood being controlled by Wang Liang.
The inequality settled it instantly!
Wang Liang nodded in satisfaction. Just for this black ghost blood alone, this trip had not been in vain.
He could now also be considered someone who controlled two crashed fierce ghosts, not to mention that this trip’s gains also included the coffin nail and uncanny value.
Wang Liang came before the black shadow nailed to the white-bone tree. Sadako’s supernatural power spread to his right hand.
He reached out. The skin of his palm was deathly pale, and it looked much more slender. Black blood flowed through the bulging veins on the back of his hand, appearing like lines of black across Wang Liang’s hand.
Wang Liang used this hand to seize the coffin nail in the chest of the huge black shadow. With a slight exertion of strength, he pulled it out.
The coffin nail was in hand!
Wang Liang did not linger. This huge black shadow would definitely wake up and leave this place afterward. He could not stay here for long.
He quickly ran out of the basement, replaced the wooden plank on the ground, then followed the path back to the courtyard behind the temple. From there, he went all the way out, climbed out of Hongfa Temple, got into the car, and fled. He fled very decisively.
This trip had yielded abundant gains. Not only had he obtained the coffin nail, he had also controlled a second supernatural fierce ghost—the black ghost blood.
There was still some time before dawn. In any case, he had already done what he wanted to do tonight. For the remaining time, Wang Liang planned to confirm whether certain things had changed. This concerned how he should act afterward.
Inside the car, Wang Liang used supernatural power to observe the direction in which the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain was moving, then drove off in a certain direction.
Sadako’s supernatural power was very strange. The things that could serve as mediums were not limited to objects in reality; things temporarily formed by supernatural power could also do so.
At present, the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain was simulating the campus buildings of No. 7 High. And on the simulated campus bulletin board was a photo of “Wang Liang” as an annual outstanding teacher.
That had been simulated by supernatural power, but likewise, it could serve as a medium for the spread of Sadako’s curse!
