Inside the conference hall, everyone at this moment was staring at He Yiner. Although they had seen He Yiner summon spirits before, they still found it unbelievable.
After all, the method He Yiner used was truly something that broke the taboo of life and death, bringing back people who had been dead for many years to this world again. Even though the time they stayed was very short, it was enough to surprise everyone. What’s more, such spirit summoning could allow the deceased ghost tamers to possess their supernatural power from when they were alive. Although this shortens the time the soul lingers in reality, the battles between ghost tamers themselves are always decided in a very short time.
Last time, when He Yiner opposed Zhang Xiangguang, she already showed everyone how terrifying the potential of a Soul Summoner can be.
“Wang Lu and his wife should be ghost tamers from the same period as Chen Qiaoyang and Zhang Xiangguang, belonging to the second generation post-Republic of China period. However, after inheriting the Wang Family curse, it seems they didn’t live long, having died more than twenty years ago when Wang Chaling was probably still a child,” commented Yang Jian, glancing at Wang Chaling.
At this moment, Wang Chaling, who had already become a ghost tamer, showed no expression and remained calm, without any hint of joy at seeing his parents.
The supernatural was corroding his emotions and body, making him no longer have large emotional fluctuations as before.
“It’s done.” After a short while, He Yiner’s spirit summoning ceremony ended, and she suddenly spoke up to notify everyone.
And with He Yiner’s words falling, the previously ephemeral-looking Wang Lu and his wife beside her had now become fully solid, giving off the feeling of a real resurrection just like two living people.
“The spirit summoning time is short this time; maybe it’s because the medium was better, or perhaps the supernatural power these two people had when alive wasn’t that frightening. So whatever you want to say, it’s best to ask all at once, don’t waste my spirit summoning abilities,” He Yiner said earnestly.
Her spirit summoning didn’t come without costs, although such costs were yet to manifest.
If it were to oppose the King Organization, He Yiner would not hesitate, but if it were to fulfill another’s dream by summoning a relative’s soul, she would immediately refuse.
“This time it is to inquire about information on the Pendulum Clock, not for personal matters,” Wang Chaling said.
He Yiner nodded and didn’t say much, but turned around and left, finding a place to sit down.
After the success of the spirit summoning, what followed had nothing to do with her.
Wang Lu and his wife now awakened like people who had slept for a long time, very vigilant, scrutinizing their surroundings, even prepared to act at any moment.
But seeing Yang Jian, Lin Bei, He Yiner, Lu Zhiwen, Ye Zhen, and the others, they realized their situation.
“I see, we have been dead for a very long time, this should be more than ten or twenty years later. Although I don’t know what supernatural means you used to briefly bring my wife and me back to life, I still have to say thank you,” Wang Chaling’s father, Wang Lu, said with a gentle tone, politely expressing his gratitude.
Because he could judge that every one present was a top-notch ghost tamer with truly terrifying power. With such people gathered together, regardless of the purpose, he had no ability to resist and could only properly position himself.
“Dad, Mom, it’s me, Wang Chaling. This time, because of some matters, I had to disturb you by temporarily manifesting your souls through spirit summoning,” at this moment, Wang Chaling walked over and said calmly.
However, from Wang Chaling’s eyes, one could see that he wasn’t actually very calm inside, with some inexplicable emotions brewing.
“Wang Chaling?” Wang Lu and Mother Wang suddenly looked at Wang Chaling with some bewilderment and uncertainty.
After many years apart, they didn’t recognize Wang Chaling right away.
But upon careful observation, they gradually confirmed that Wang Chaling indeed was their son.
“Let me have a good look at you, I didn’t expect you to have grown so much in the blink of an eye, and you too have become a ghost tamer, stepping into this circle. I told you before, you can’t escape the fate of the Wang Family…”
At this moment, Wang Lu stepped forward, looking Wang Chaling up and down, his emotions somewhat stirred, and he subconsciously reached out to touch him, but was stopped by He Yiner.
“You are souls of the deceased reappearing after many years, there’s a taboo not to contact the living of this era, otherwise some unexpected issues might arise,” He Yiner said.
Wang Lu immediately withdrew his hand and said, “You’re a Soul Summoner from Taiping Ancient Town? I knew a bit about your existence during my lifetime, just never met you. After all, the people from Taiping Ancient Town are very conservative, rarely active in the supernatural circle. I’m really grateful that our family could reunite this time. If there’s anything we can help with, please don’t hesitate to say, my wife and I won’t refuse.”
He promptly expressed his stance, also understanding in his heart that the Soul Summoner summoned his wife’s and his souls not for a mere reunion.
“Dad, here’s what happened…” Wang Chaling briefly explained the recent events and expressed his intention: “We must gain control of the Supernatural Pendulum Clock in the old mansion. Only then can we increase our chances against the King Organization. If we lose this time, all supernatural occurrences in the country will spiral out of control, and everything will cease to exist.”
After hearing this, Wang Lu and his wife fell silent immediately.
Wang Chaling’s mother laughed, “I knew this would happen eventually. It’s only a matter of time before the supernatural goes out of control, although I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Our son lives in the worst of times. The older generation is passing away, almost all gone, and those before us must be the new leaders who have to bear unimaginably heavy burdens. Life will be hard and exhausting, just like it was for our parents.”
“There’s no point in saying all this now. We should think about how to help the younger generation,” Wang Lu shook his head slightly, then said seriously, “To take the Supernatural Pendulum Clock, one must use supernatural power to influence the old mansion. Only at the right place and time can that thing be removed.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve already taken the Supernatural Pendulum Clock out of the old mansion,” Yang Jian walked over and said.
Wang Lu was taken aback, looking at Yang Jian in disbelief, “You did it? Unbelievable.”
“His name is Yang Jian, the Enforcement Captain from headquarters, the most capable among us. If you’ve got something to say, say it to him,” Lin Bei chuckled and said.
“Since you’ve already managed to influence time, the Supernatural Pendulum Clock shouldn’t matter to you, should it? Back then, my wife and I deliberately hid the clock to maintain balance inside the ancestral house, to use supernatural forces to trap some vengeful spirits inside the mansion forever,” Wang Lu said.
In his vision before he died, Wang Chaling was to inherit the Supernatural Pendulum Clock and the old mansion, so the future generations would have a place to settle.
Moreover, Wang Lu wasn’t worried about the clock being stolen.
Because those capable of taking the Supernatural Pendulum Clock wouldn’t need it, and those incapable couldn’t take it.
The only exception was that ghost handler named Chen Qiaoyang, who could manipulate vengeful spirits to accomplish things impossible for humans. But Wang Lu had dealt with this enemy during his lifetime, and he believed it would be difficult for such a special existence to appear again.
“This is my business, you don’t need to worry. I need to know how to use the Supernatural Pendulum Clock,” Yang Jian said seriously.
Wang Chaling also said, “Dad, Mom, tell him. The clock is already in his hands. Even if you don’t say, he will slowly figure out how to use the clock.”
“Every new generation has its own fortune. We, as deceased souls, can’t manage much,” Wang Lu understood Wang Chaling’s intention.
Now someone else is in control. Even if Wang Chaling inherited the Wang Family curse and controlled four vengeful spirits, he couldn’t take the lead among this group. Losing even the clock left by his grandparents forced him to adapt and avoid making things difficult for his son in the future.
“Controlling the Supernatural Pendulum Clock is simple. Inside the clock is a terrifying corpse, a vengeful spirit and the source of the clock’s supernatural power. You must pay attention to the corpse’s fingers. The fingers will constantly adjust the clock, allowing it to run. By adjusting the position of the fingers, you can manipulate the clock’s time. Most importantly, watch the corpse’s neck. If the neck turns, it means the clock restarts. But remember, the vengeful spirit’s neck must not turn a full 180 degrees; it must stop at 90 degrees, which corresponds to a half-hour restart.”
“If you want to restart for an hour, the corpse’s neck will turn completely, and by then, the vengeful spirit will awaken, and the clock will no longer be able to restrain it.”
Wang Lu explained the method to adjust the time of the Supernatural Pendulum Clock and some taboos involved.
“I think I understand,” Yang Jian nodded.
So, the corpse’s neck turning is the restart, and it can’t be turned too much at once, or it will go out of control.
However, Wang Chaling’s grandfather was truly remarkable for creating such a supernatural item, using the ghost’s own restarting trait to imprison the ghost, keeping it in a perpetual restart state, never allowing it to fully rotate its neck, because every half hour it restarts, everything returns to the initial state.
“Yang Jian, now that you know about the clock, could you give me some time alone with my parents? I have some things I want to discuss with them,” Wang Chaling said at this moment.
“Catching up? No problem,” Yang Jian nodded.
Wang Chaling glanced at the other captains, and seeing no objections, he took his parents’ spirits and left the meeting hall via the elevator.
Inside the elevator.
“Dad, Mom, I have a plan that, if successful, could change everything for the Wang Family,” Wang Chaling immediately started to speak.
“Tell us,” Wang Lu smiled slightly.
“I call this plan the Infinite Restart Plan, and it involves using the Supernatural Pendulum Clock…” Wang Chaling slowly explained his inner plan.
