The night seemed to drag on.

Lin Shan's incident cast a shadow over everyone at the Ping An Hotel.

Even though the matter was resolved as quickly as possible, it still resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen people. Moreover, the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth floors of the hotel were affected by the vengeful ghost, leaving behind puddles and dozens of floating corpses.

Fortunately, the real ghost had already been imprisoned and sent away.

If we stay in this hotel, no one will dare to come near it anymore, and the nearby residents may have to be evacuated.

It must be said that once Lin Shan's ghost is revived, the threat it poses is terrifying, far surpassing the revived vengeful ghosts of others. Moreover, it was learned from Wang Jiang that Lin Shan's ghost possesses a certain degree of potential for growth.

Being able to resolve this potential problem ahead of time is indeed a great achievement.

But as the protagonist of this incident.

After getting what he needed from this incident, Yang Jian seemed to no longer care about anything else, playing on his phone while waiting for things at the hotel to be settled.

"This is."

At this moment, on the eighteenth floor of the hotel.

When Wang Jiang arrived at Lin Shan's former residence, he was immediately stunned when he saw the puddles in the walkway leading to his room.

A stench of decay filled the air. Floating on the murky water, less than half a meter deep, were whitish, bubbly corpses. Some were highly decomposed, their flesh loosened and cracked from the water. The bodies were so swollen they were no longer human. Only by the length of their hair and their clothing could one barely distinguish whether they were male or female.

"Ugh!"

Although Wang Jiang was Ghost Tamer, he had not witnessed many terrifying scenes, and he immediately felt nauseous and lay down to vomit.

"Besides the hotel staff killed by Lin Shan, there are at least thirty other unidentified bodies. These unidentified people are probably those Lin Shan killed before." Zhang Lei walked over with a stiff face and casually said, "A newcomer like you shouldn't be here. I'll take care of cleaning up here for now. You can go downstairs and rest."

"Yang Jian sent me here. I'm looking for someone," Wang Jiang said, barely managing to straighten up after vomiting for a while, while covering his nose.

Although he couldn't accept the scene, he didn't feel much fear.

Perhaps it's because they've already confirmed that the ghost is no longer here.

After all, for people like them, ghosts are the real threat, not these corpses.

"If you want to find someone, you'll have to wait until these bodies are removed and DNA testing is done before you can confirm their identity. At this point, even your own mother wouldn't recognize them," Zhang Lei said.

Wang Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "I just want to take a look and confirm it myself. I've already followed them all the way to J City, I don't want to wait any longer."

"Alright, I'll give you five minutes to confirm. After all, we can't delay other people's work." Zhang Lei said, then turned and left.

Other staff members are dealing with the leak on the seventeenth floor.

These pools of water, formed by supernatural forces, must be completely cleaned up; who knows what hidden dangers they might bring?

"Thank you," Wang Jiang said gratefully, then covered his nose and walked forward.

I carefully waded into the flooded area.

The water wasn't deep, but it was very murky, looking like a bottomless abyss. The nearby walls were covered in water stains, and the plaster was constantly peeling off, leaving a mottled appearance, as if they had been in this damp environment for a long time.

In such a short time, the surrounding environment has been affected like this.

Wang Jiang covered his nose, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked forward, pushing aside the corpses floating on the water's surface.

He held his phone in his hand, turned on the spotlight, and specifically searched for corpses whose clothing looked somewhat familiar.

The area of water, which was only about ten meters deep, was completely covered by the bodies, and the surface of the water was almost invisible.

Each one was face down, back up, stiff and motionless, looking extremely eerie, as if one might suddenly turn around from the water and look at him.

Wang Jiang knew that these corpses were actually very dangerous.

The source of the ghost is now restrained, which is why the corpse has lost its eeriness.

Otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare approach this dangerous place.

"Not this one, not this one either." Wang Jiang pushed aside the corpses around him, feeling both nervous and somewhat frightened.

He didn't want to see his crush, that beautiful girl, dead here, one of these many floating corpses. But he also didn't want her life or death to remain a mystery, a missing person with no resolution. Even if she was dead, at least there would be some resolution. As for the DNA test results a few days later, he didn't want to see them.

That might just be a cold, hard list of deaths, and he wouldn't be satisfied with that.

Wang Jiang had mixed feelings, but Zhang Lei had given him limited time; soon all the corpses would be taken away.

With that in mind, he examined the bodies around the deceased even faster.

"Is this it?" Wang Jiang saw a corpse wearing a dress. Although the body was white and bloated, it was still vaguely discernible that it should be the body of a very young woman.

However, when he turned the body over, the woman's face was already completely decomposed.

After looking him over, Wang Jiang was certain that this was not the person he was looking for.

He had examined all the remaining corpses with obvious characteristics, but he hadn't gotten the results he wanted, which left him somewhat disappointed and resentful.

Where did she go?

Could it be that she really wasn't killed by Lin Shan?

No, that's absolutely impossible. She disappeared at school, and who else in the entire school besides Lin Shan could make a living person vanish so mysteriously, without leaving a single trace or evidence?

Wang Jiang's expression kept changing as he circled the area several times, but still found nothing.

Since he couldn't find her, he had no choice but to leave.

However, just as he pushed aside the corpses beside him and was about to retreat, the churning water caused a highly decomposed body that had been submerged to surface.

The body was completely unrecognizable as male or female, and it was not wearing any clothes. There were no obvious features on the body, so unless a DNA test was conducted, it would be impossible to identify the person with the naked eye.

But Wang Jiang froze at that moment.

Because his gaze was fixed intently on the toenails on the corpse's feet.

There were still some pink nail polish residues on the toenails, and a Peppa Pig pattern was drawn on the big toenail, which was playful yet cute. This kind of style is probably only something that a young and lovely girl would be interested in painting on her toes.

"Lin Shan, you inhuman beast!"

Wang Jiang clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and after a long silence, suddenly roared.

The emergence of evidence completely proved that his previous conjectures were correct.

All the people who went missing from the school, including her, were killed by Lin Shan.

"Wang Jiang, stop shouting! There are people working downstairs. Are you trying to scare them away?" Zhang Lei rushed over upon hearing the noise. He thought something had happened, but it turned out that Wang Jiang had simply lost control of his emotions.

Ghost Tamer cannot afford to lose control of their emotions, as this poses a potential danger to others.

Wang Jiang remained silent, walking out of the flooded area, soaking wet, and then went down the stairs.

Zhang Lei stared at him with a stiff expression and a somewhat strange look.

What triggered this person's reaction?

But he seems to be alright. Oh well, let's leave this guy alone and deal with this floor first.

Half an hour later.

Yang Jian, who was resting in the hotel lobby, saw Wang Jiang walk out of the stairwell. He was soaking wet and emitted a disgusting stench, which made the people nearby frown and keep their distance.

"Have you found the result you're looking for?" Yang Jian asked out of curiosity.

He wondered if this innocent guy had discovered his crush, since he couldn't understand the subtle feelings of someone who was hopelessly in love.

"Found it."

Wang Jiang hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice with an extremely ugly expression, "She's dead. Her body is rotten and there aren't even any clothes on her clothes. I can't imagine what she went through before she died. That Lin Shan is a beast; he doesn't deserve to be called a human being."

"How could someone like that be allowed to live until now?"

Yang Jian calmly said, "Because he has value, and that value exceeds one life, or even ten lives. I have also killed people, and I personally dealt with Wang Xiaoqiang. What he did was no less than what Lin Shan did. But he is Professor Wang's younger brother. If I didn't have enough value, Wang Xiaoming would have killed me long ago to avenge his brother. I wouldn't be alive now."

"You feel angry? You want to seek justice for your crush? There's really no need for that."

"Why do you say that? Does it mean that it's wrong for me to do the right thing?" Wang Jiang said, disagreeing with Yang Jian's idea.

Yang Jian, "Wanting to do the right thing is not wrong, but the prerequisite is having the ability. If you don't have the ability, then you're wrong. If Lin Shan doesn't have any accidents this time, do you think he will let you go once he controls two ghosts?"

Wang Jiang's expression shifted slightly.

That's obviously impossible, because if it were him, he wouldn't let the other party off the hook either.

"I used to know a Ghost Tamer, you could call him a friend. We worked together, but he died later, and his family suffered the same fate." Yang Jian finished speaking and added, "He died a horrible death."

"So I changed after that. I risked the resurrection of vengeful spirits to get rid of some people, because you feel that only when some people die can the important people live better."

"So, you killed that guy named Wang Xiaoqiang?" Wang Jiang asked after a moment of silence.

Yang Jian, "No, that had nothing to do with him. I made a mistake."

"." Wang Jiang.

"But it doesn't matter, the result was the same the second time I tried," Yang Jian said casually.

"You're right." Wang Jiang gave him a deep look.

Yang Jian smiled and said nothing more.

He's definitely right, because the survivor is always right.
