Mysterious Resurrection: Starting with Controlling Sadako

Chapter 224 Dreaming Again
"That vengeful ghost doesn't exist in reality under normal circumstances; it appears in dreams. Even if you defeat it in a dream, the dream will shatter just like it did before, but you won't be able to deal with or imprison it."

Wang Liang explained.

"But I know a secret, a way to imprison this vengeful ghost: one person touches it in a dream, and another person wakes the sleeping person in reality."

If that person manages to touch and grab Freddy in the dream before waking up, they can pull Freddy out of the dream and into reality.

"Once the vengeful ghost enters reality, I will act instantly to completely imprison it."

"Freddy?" Lin Bei asked, puzzled.

“Don’t worry about the name I gave this vengeful ghost,” Wang Liang said.

"Really? That's a strange name. And is the information you mentioned accurate?" Lin Bei asked.

"About 90%," Wang Liang said, not giving a definitive answer.

"Your ghost ability is very special. In the dream, you not only possess superhuman strength, but also the ability to control the terrain. This makes you more survivable there, and you may have a chance to get closer to Freddy more safely and capture him without being killed."

So I've come to ask for your thoughts, but I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to, we can switch places; I'll enter the dream, and you can wake me up from outside.

In Wang Liang's view, Lin Bei was the best candidate to enter the dream.

But he won't force it. If all else fails, they can switch places. The result will only appear the moment he comes into contact with Freddy, but the risk would be greater if he entered the dream.

He would inevitably have to leave a backup plan outside to ensure he could wake up in time, and he wouldn't completely trust Lin Bei.

However, he generally doesn't want to make a backup plan.

"Do we really have to lock up this... uh, Freddy?" Lin Bei asked, frowning.

“I have no way out; I have to keep it here,” Wang Liang nodded.

"it is good."

Lin Bei suddenly agreed decisively, touched his bald head, and smiled helplessly.

"Although I don't know why you're fighting Freddy here, there must be some reason that I can't be informed of. Perhaps it's because if we don't deal with this ghost here, it will cause even greater harm in the future."

I've seen this ghost before. If it's not dealt with, it will run into the real world, and even ghost tamers will die in front of it just like ordinary people. It's too dangerous.

"Then let's take the risk and handle it here. But how and when will you wake me up? We need to discuss that too."

"Of course." Seeing Lin Bei agree, Wang Liang felt slightly relieved and continued:

"If you manage to grab Freddy in your dream, or if you can't hold on any longer and want to escape, bite your lip slightly. The injury will be synchronized with reality, and once I see it, I will immediately wake you up. As for the method to wake you up..."

The ghost candle can ward off attacks from vengeful ghosts, but since it involves consciousness, Wang Liang wasn't sure if the candlelight from the ghost candle could help Lin Bei escape Freddy's entanglement in the dream while he was already deeply trapped in it, but the scapegoat doll definitely could.

Wang Liang tore off the struggling substitute doll from his waist. His blood had already dripped into the doll, but it wasn't a big problem. The ghost blood had seeped in, and he could just bring the drop of blood out.

"This is a scapegoat doll. Once it's stained with your blood, it will deflect the attacks of the vengeful ghosts and let the doll take your place. This way, you will immediately escape the dream."

Lin Bei looked at the cloth doll woven from tattered rags and eerie black hair in Wang Liang's hands, and his face showed amazement.

"There's such a good thing? Then there's no problem. Okay, let's give it a try. Hopefully, it will work." Whew.

The flame of the ghost candle suddenly expanded and quickly burned downwards for a while.

Wang Liang's expression changed slightly: "This is a ghost candle. Lighting it can prevent attacks from vengeful ghosts. The fact that it is burning faster now means that Freddy has started attacking again. Act quickly and get out of the candlelight's range."

"it is good."

Lin Bei's expression turned serious. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the area illuminated by the candlelight.

Lin Bei is not yet able to control the mirror world well. Sometimes, the reality and illusion will deviate, resulting in two versions of himself, one in reality and one in the mirror world, which cannot be reconciled. The supernatural cannot protect him in time.

But since it involves the supernatural and consciousness, Lin Bei was prepared this time. After stepping out of the candlelight's range, he took the initiative to use his supernatural abilities to see if he could withstand the attack of the vengeful ghost with his own supernatural abilities involving consciousness.

A chilling aura rose around Lin Bei, and he experienced an unreal feeling, as if everything around him was upside down, as if he had entered another side of the world.

However, for Lin Bei, this sense of unease quickly disappeared as he had already entered the mirror world.

But soon, Lin Bei's expression changed in the mirror world. He could clearly feel a chilling coldness eroding the supernatural area where his consciousness was located.

The mirror world is resisting, but only within the scope of the mirror world he currently controls; it is insufficient to resist such a supernatural invasion.

A few seconds later, Lin Bei sensed a change in his surroundings; he was still standing on the street of the small town.

But Wang Liang was gone, and the surrounding buildings all bore traces of charring, exuding a distinct sense of decay and gray tones.

"As expected, they couldn't resist. Now, let's proceed according to plan."

Lin Bei sensed it and realized that although the mirror world had been invaded, the invasion was not a complete suppression, but rather a direct attack on his consciousness, pulling him into a dream.

The supernatural elements of the mirror world can still play a role in this dream, improving his ability to survive Freddy's attack to some extent, which is why Wang Liang let him in.

Lin Bei stood cautiously on the street, not making any rash moves. He had entered the dream world not to escape, but to make contact.

Next, he just needs to be careful of Freddy's sudden attack, and when he gets a chance to touch it, he should immediately bite his lip and let the real Wang Liang pull him out of the dream.

In reality, after Wang Liang saw Lin Bei step out of the candlelight, a chill rose from his body, and his eyelids drooped as if he were half asleep.

But soon, Lin Bei's body began to tremble abnormally, as if resisting something. After a few seconds, the resistance failed, Lin Bei closed his eyes, and fell asleep on the ground.

'Next, it's Lin Bei's turn.'

Wang Liang stood at the closest possible distance to Lin Bei in the candlelight, holding the ghost candle in one hand and the substitute doll in the other, watching Lin Bei's lips, ready to rush over at any moment.

After burning a quarter of its flame, the ghost candle slowed down, indicating that it had not been attacked again.

But only a few seconds after Lin Bei fell asleep, the ghost candle flame in Wang Liang's hand swelled up again, and the candle body shrunk by another quarter.

In addition to the slow burning and consumption already, the ghost candle is now less than half full.
