Feng Quan's Call

I've been in room 31 for about two hours.

The room has remained safe throughout this period, at least so far. Although the surroundings appear eerie and frightening, no supernatural events have actually occurred. The ghost wandering outside has not deliberately sought out the room, unless Yang Jian himself is courting death by lighting that white ghost candle.

"We've rested enough, it's time for us to leave. That ghost outside is probably gone by now." Yang Jian decided to leave the Caesar Hotel.

His task is not yet complete; further action is required.

As for the issue of the Head Balloon Incident inside the hotel, it can only be left at this time.

In terms of the harm caused by the two incidents, the ghost that altered the memories is definitely more dangerous. That ghost has now obtained Tong Qian's identity, and he can't believe what it will do next.

"You finally discovered the killing pattern of that ghost outside, don't you want to restrain it now? If it gets away one day, it'll be a huge problem. That ghost will randomly step on other people's footprints, and who knows, it might step on our heads again. We won't even know how we died."

Luo Suyī soon as he finished what he was doing.

Yang Jian glanced at the doorway. "You're right, but now's not the time. Completely imprisoning a ghost and understanding its killing patterns is only a prerequisite for your survival. To truly solve the problem, we need restrictive measures and the ability to directly confront the ghost. If we only imprison it without restrictions, high-level ghosts will eventually break free."

"Of course, enough gold can meet this condition, but the key is contact. That ghost is currently only killing people by stepping on footprints. Once I make direct contact, some unpredictable changes may occur. You saw that thing before; one attack can consume one of my ghost candles. Even I can't withstand that."

"Never mind that for now, I have more important things to do. Also, you need to keep this a secret and don't tell anyone. I'll find a way to trap this ghost in this hotel and prevent it from getting out."

"Isn't Zhao Jianguo going to report this either?" Xiong Wenwen asked.

Yang Jian, "I will personally explain to Headquarters."

He would certainly give a report, but he would also keep something hidden, because he needed the wood-chopping knife in the ghost's hand.

It may be a terrifying object, but it is undoubtedly a deadly weapon.

Since he was the first to discover the ghost, Yang Jian had no reason not to take action against it, provided that he could find a way to completely imprison the ghost outside.

After tidying up...

The others had also regained their strength, and their tension and fear had eased considerably. Although they still looked tense, they were much better than before.

Having experienced another paranormal event and walked on the edge of death several times, even someone with poor mental fortitude would improve to some extent and wouldn't behave as badly as before.

Moreover, the most dangerous time has passed.

"Creak."

As the door to room number 31 opened, darkness seemed to creep into the dimly lit corridor once more.

Just one glance outside is enough to make you feel suffocated.

In such an environment, even without ghosts, ordinary people would be terrified to death.

"Come with me, I'll use my Ghost Domain to take you away so we won't leave any footprints." Yang Jian peered out and looked around.

Especially on the way back, he made a special effort to find the ghost that was wandering outside.

Just as we suspected, the ghost is no longer here; it must have wandered off somewhere else. That's a relief for now.

The Ghost Domain enveloped the other people.

After confirming there was no danger, he extended the Ghost Domain directly outside the corridor.

Instantly, the dark corridor was enveloped in a layer of red light, but strangely, his Ghost Domain could not cover any of the surrounding rooms. Every room nearby was like a forbidden zone, which even his Ghost Domain could not penetrate. There seemed to be some taboos and unknown horrors inside.

Yang Jian's expression changed slightly, but he did not force himself to investigate.

There are still many dangers here that he is unaware of.

For example, along this corridor that stretches endlessly, seemingly infinitely, are there truly no dangers in any of the countless rooms?

Uncertain.

This is a supernatural space, and it certainly contains a certain degree of danger.

Yang Jian dared not venture too far into the Ghost Domain, fearing he might trigger some unknown terror. He simply covered the path back, ensuring he wouldn't leave any footprints that could become the ghost's opportunity to kill him.

"Walk."

After confirming there was no danger, Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain to lead everyone out of the room.

It also took away the countless faces in the room.

Even if the face was useless to him, Yang Jian would never leave it to that ghost. He knew that behind each face was an identity, and that ghost could change identities and blend into ordinary people without restraint. This was a kind of latent terror, more unsettling than those ghosts that were out in the open.

What if this ghost were to transform into a woman one day, and secretly sleep with her without anyone knowing? That feeling would be terrifying.

"They're out."

In the blink of an eye, Yang Jian was standing next to a window on the fourth floor again.

The previous corridor has disappeared.

It didn't really disappear; rather, Yang Jian simply couldn't see it within the Ghost Domain and needed to leave the Ghost Domain to see it.

"I'll take all the carpets away and burn them all. Then there won't be any more footprints left here, and it will also prevent this ghost from killing other people." After Yang Jian finished speaking, he immediately covered the entire hotel with his Ghost Domain and then took away all the carpets that were lying on the ground.

Just to be on the safe side, he even pried off the floor tiles in the lobby on the first floor.

Not a single piece left.

He made sure not to leave any footprints in any place he had been in the past few days, because he couldn't be sure when the ghost would return to the hotel.

"After I leave here, I will seal off this entire hotel, permanently," Yang Jian thought to himself.

However, just as he finished doing these things...

Suddenly.

My satellite-guided cell phone rang.

"Hello." Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, then answered the call.

"You've arrived at the hotel? Are you just going to leave like this?" Feng Quan's voice came from the other end of the phone. His voice sounded strange, as if he were weak and powerless.

Before Yang Jian could speak, Feng Quan added, "I'm in a bad state. Take me with you; you don't want me to die here and become another ghost, do you?"

"Is he still alive?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly. He checked the location and indeed found Feng Quan's location information somewhere on the fourth floor.

But he ignored it.

Because in his mind, he assumed that Feng Quan had already sacrificed himself.

After all, the appearance of ghostly mist is a sign of the resurgence of vengeful spirits.
