Death Precognition

Yang Jian had just used Ghost Shadow to open the tightly closed door. His attention was entirely focused on what was behind the door, and he didn't pay much attention to what was happening around him. Of course, he trusted that the people around him would be able to keep a close watch.

However, Luo Suyī's sudden shout sent a jolt through him.

Almost instinctively, I realized that something was wrong with my surroundings.

The Ghost Eye snapped open several times in an instant, its attention immediately shifting to the surroundings.

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed immediately.

In the dimly lit corridor we had just passed, at the crossroads covered with black footprints, a tall man with a dark complexion and a strong stench of death appeared out of nowhere. He stood there stiffly, facing forward, revealing his side profile to the crowd.

At that moment, Luo Suyī was the first to spot the man, was holding a flashlight, trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear.

Although Luo Suyī also Ghost Tamer, he had handled too few paranormal events and had almost no experience in resolving them, so he had no idea how to deal with this kind of situation.

After all, ghosts can't be killed.

"Is this the ghost Lin Luomei mentioned before?" Yang Jian's expression was extremely solemn. He never expected such a ghost to appear at the most inopportune time.

What incredibly bad luck!

Wait, that's not right.

Why didn't that ghost make any move?

Despite being only about ten meters apart, neither he nor Luo Suyī first discovered the ghost, were attacked. The fact that all four of them were still alive meant that they had not yet triggered the ghost's killing pattern.

Xiong Wenwen turned around and saw the ghost standing in the corridor. She immediately shrank back in fright and hid behind Yang Jian. Lin Luomei, who was next to her, subconsciously covered her mouth and also retreated as if fleeing.

If Yang Jian hadn't been standing there calmly, those two would have been scared out of their wits and run away long ago.

"Yang, Yang Jian, what do we do now?"

Luo Suyī trembled and backed away, trying to create distance between himself and the thing, even just a meter.

"Calm down. That ghost might just be wandering around here and doesn't necessarily target us. Based on what I've observed so far, the ghost in the hotel doesn't seem to have the characteristic of indiscriminate killing. Otherwise, the casualties in Z City would be far more than this."

Yang Jian stared intently at the ghost in the distance. He lowered his voice and told them to stay calm and not do anything strange.

"Ignore it for now and come into the room with me. Maybe this will allow us to temporarily avoid it. We don't currently have the ability to handle two paranormal events; we can only choose one to deal with."

Ghosts themselves aren't scary; the more you see them, the more you get used to them.

What's truly terrifying is when that ghost sets its sights on you.

The fact that it hasn't moved means the situation isn't too bad yet.

"Creak."

Despite the extreme danger, Yang Jian still chose to open the door to room 13, making his own decision.

The door opened, revealing a completely dark room without any lights. A musty smell, long-suppressed by time, wafted out, suggesting that the room had been uninhabited for a very, very long time.

"Come in with me."

Yang Jian used his Ghost Eye to look inside. The room was old and furnished, but there was nothing unusual about it. He couldn't find any trace of the ghost, nor could he find Zhao Lei. However, there were still some places in the room that he hadn't thoroughly examined, so perhaps the strangeness hadn't yet been revealed.

There's no time to think about that now; the most urgent thing is to get into the room and temporarily hide from the ghost wandering outside.

He had a premonition that once that ghost outside set its sights on them, they would definitely die a horrible death.

Upon seeing Yang Jian walk directly into the room, Xiong Wenwen, who was clinging to his clothes, was immediately led inside as well. In a panic, Lin Luomei followed immediately, not caring at all whether it was safe or dangerous inside. As long as someone was willing to lead the way, she was willing to go anywhere, as long as she didn't have to stand there waiting to die.

"You're just going in like that? What if there's danger inside? Should we reconsider?"

Luo Suyī wanted to say something, but before he could finish, everyone else had already gone inside, and it was too late to stop them.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to go in; he couldn't stay here with this ghost.

Immediately, he rushed into the room as if fleeing, and immediately closed the door, fearing that the thing outside would follow him in.

In the pitch-black room, only the lights in the hands of a few people were on. He couldn't see his surroundings clearly, only a dim light. If something was hiding in the room, they would have no way to escape.

However, knowing there was still a ghost outside, Luo Suyī could do was hold the door shut and lock it, praying that the thing outside wouldn't break in.

"The house is safe for now."

Yang Jian scanned the room several times before finally concluding, "There's definitely something strange about this room, so don't let your guard down."

"Well, what's next? Don't forget there's still a ghost outside." Luo Suyī pressed against the door, his forehead covered in cold sweat. "We were so close just now, that thing must have spotted us. Shouldn't you check on the situation outside?"

He thought Yang Jian was a bit too carefree; he had already encountered a ghost, yet he didn't mention or ask about it.

Yang Jian still didn't reply to him, but instead looked at Xiong Wenwen.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiong Wenwen asked, her eyes wide.

"To foresee the future, I need to know if the ghost outside will attack us, and I also need to know the situation inside this room. Given our current situation, a thorough search is too risky. Knowing the outcome in advance is the best way, otherwise it will be too late when something happens," Yang Jian said earnestly.

This is the best time to utilize Xiong Wenwen's abilities.

The danger and its source are nearby. As long as the predicted outcome is good, Yang Jian can achieve his goal this time.

"Okay, alright." Xiong Wenwen hesitated for a moment but still agreed.

He was also afraid and wanted to know what would happen in this dangerous environment in a little while.

"Hurry up and tell us! We're in a very dangerous situation right now. Lin Luomei and I don't want to die here with you," Luo Suyī urged anxiously.

"Shut up." Yang Jian glared at him coldly. "I hate guys like you who can't help at all but still try to discourage people. I shouldn't have let you come along. Are you scared? You're an adult, he's just a ten-year-old kid. He's going through just as much as you have."

"If you continue with these demoralizing remarks, I'll throw you out right now. In all the paranormal events I've witnessed, at least a dozen Ghost Tamer like you have died. One more won't make a difference."

Luo Suyī was immediately silenced by the shout, not daring to utter a word or even look Yang Jian in the eye.

In this dangerous situation, he knew there were some things he shouldn't say, which would increase the psychological pressure on others, but sometimes he just couldn't help himself.

Soon.

Xiong Wenwen used his ability; he began to foresee the future.

As his face grew paler, his aura became increasingly cold and sinister. A mysterious and eerie atmosphere seemed to linger around him, making him feel as if something was watching him from the shadows.

This kind of spying is all-pervasive, making everyone feel very uncomfortable, as if they no longer have any secrets under such scrutiny.

With her eyes closed, Xiong Wenwen's mind conjured up a different image.

He and Yang Jian worked together, searching the room.

They first opened the toilet door, and there was nothing inside except an old-fashioned flush toilet, not even a mirror.

Then, in the foreseen future, they acted together again and opened the bedroom door.

At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on Xiong Wenwen's pale face; he saw someone in the room.

One by one, stiff bodies sat on the bed, on the bedside table, or stood in the room. All of these people had no facial features; their faces were flat, making them look extremely eerie.

Wanting to continue predicting the outcome, Xiong Wenwen's mind conjured up a terrifying picture of the future.

His body suddenly collapsed to the ground, and then his head mysteriously fell off his neck, as if it had been severed by something. Blood splattered everywhere, and he died with his eyes wide open.

In the end, Xiong Wenwen died.

Upon anticipating this outcome, Xiong Wenwen immediately screamed in fright.

"How did it go? What happened next?" Yang Jian immediately grabbed his hand and asked.

Xiong Wenwen trembled with fear, tears welling in her eyes. "I... I'm going to die, Yang Jian, please save me! I'm going to die here, I don't want to die, sob sob."

Seeing his own death, he couldn't bear the pressure and burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, calm down. You also foresaw your own death last time, and nothing happened to you, right? Tell me in detail what you foresaw just now," Yang Jian continued to ask.

Only by knowing the details of Xiong Wenwen's death could he have detected the danger in advance and prevented it.

"By the way, did you foresee the deaths of others? Please don't," Luo Suyī couldn't help but say again, but Yang Jian glared at him and stopped him from speaking.

With fear and a sob in her voice, Xiong Wenwen recounted the outcome she had foreseen.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately frowned deeply.

There were many faceless people in the room.

After the door was opened, Xiong Wenwen's head fell off; he was dead.

Then the foreseen future stopped.

The process and the result are both very simple.

"Is that all? Didn't you foresee the appearance of other ghosts?" Yang Jian asked immediately.

Last time, Xiong Wenwen also foresaw the scene of her own death and his, but that time she encountered a ghost approaching her. This time, however, she didn't encounter a ghost, yet she still died.

The situation was different from the last time, because this death was particularly bizarre.
