"Zhang Lei was still alive? That was indeed good news, but also bad news."
Yang Jian first breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news, but at the same time cautiously moved closer to the human-shaped outline in the darkness.
Because if Zhang Lei was still alive, then the figure in the darkness ahead was very likely Zhang Lei rather than a ghost.
Whoosh!
Without hesitating any longer, he lit the ghost candle.
They could not afford to lose, so at this critical moment, he absolutely could not keep gambling. Yang Jian had to eliminate even the slightest possibility that it was a ghost so he could successfully meet up with Zhang Lei and complete this operation.
The sinister green flame flickered, driving back the darkness around them. Its glow illuminated the surroundings.
The sudden light made the people behind him unable to adjust at once, and they all raised their hands to shield their eyes.
"Something is very wrong."
Yang Jian tightly gripped the ghost candle in his hand. He saw the flame swell in an unreasonable manner before burning fiercely, and it was burning extraordinarily fast.
The ghost candle, which had barely been used, was visibly shrinking away.
Having used ghost candles many times, he knew this represented a terrifying signal.
A ghost was nearby.
So... was the one ahead a ghost?
Yang Jian froze in place and was about to turn around and run, but Huang Ziya excitedly delivered another piece of news from behind him. "Just now, I located Zhang Lei. He's nearby."
"What?"
Yang Jian froze again upon hearing that.
How was that possible?
He snatched over his satellite positioning phone and took a look.
Sure enough, one signal source overlapped with his own location.
Did that mean the person ahead was Zhang Lei?
