Was the ghost in Dorm 402?
Hearing Wang Quan's information and seeing his gesture, Yang Jian's gaze focused on the second dorm room in the distance.
His deduction had been correct. The ghost had indeed walked out of the Ghost Painting and was wandering nearby. He had simply been lucky enough not to encounter the ghost that had emerged from it.
Wang Quan and the others, however, seemed to have had worse luck. The ghost had gone to their side first.
But—
Yang Jian knew where the ghost was, yet he made no move. Instead, he fell into thought and judgment.
The ghost was in Dorm 402 across from him, but the Ghost Painting was on his side.
The two were not in the same place.
If he went to restrain the ghost that had emerged from the Ghost Painting now, what would happen to the painting?
If he left it here unattended, would the Ghost Painting still be here when he returned later? And was the source of the supernatural occurrence here the Ghost Painting on his side, or the ghost that had emerged from it?
This question was crucial, because it would affect what he did next.
After all, while Ghost Eye was dormant, his ghost hand could only restrain one ghost.
If he restrained the painting, he would have no free hand to deal with the ghost from within it. He had not the slightest confidence in relying on the remaining ghost shadow to withstand it. If danger arose, he would have to use a ghost candle again.
Using a ghost candle for a counterfeit Ghost Painting would make this operation an utter failure.
"Captain Wang, something's wrong. Mr. Yang still hasn't acted. He's been standing there watching us," one team member said quietly.
