Li Yang's Change

The door to the room was suddenly closed, as if the ghost lingering in the room did not want to let Yang Jian leave.

Or perhaps, Yang Jian has already been targeted by a ghost, and this change is merely a prelude to the ghost's impending attack.

"No need to waste time with the ghosts in this room." His gaze lingered on the empty single sofa in the living room.

He tried to locate the ghost, but found nothing in the area that could be almost completely seen at a glance.

The large corpse seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever, which was extremely eerie. However, the nauseating stench of decay still lingered in the air, even stronger than before, seemingly proving that the corpse was still in the house and had not left.

Yang Jian stood motionless. A dark shadow slowly rose from beneath his feet. The shadow appeared very tall, like a burly man hidden in the darkness, completely out of proportion to Yang Jian's own physique.

And most importantly, this shadowy figure had no head.

The headless ghost figure took over Yang Jian's actions. This tall, dark figure arrived at the door, preparing to open it and leave.

The locked door began to shake violently under the influence of the ghostly figure, making a loud noise. The entire door seemed about to be destroyed, but even so, the door could not be opened and could only be opened a few cracks.

"Even Ghost Shadow's abilities can't open the door?" Yang Jian's face darkened. "Moreover, I can feel that the door is much heavier than usual, as if someone outside is forcibly blocking it, preventing me from leaving smoothly."

Are they Li Yang and Jimmy from outside?

Definitely not. Even though they were outside, there was no way they could block the door.

Setting aside this unrealistic conjecture, only one possibility remains.

The door was blocked by a ghost.

Yang Jian stared at the gate and used the ghostly shadow to ram it again.

The door was twisted and deformed outwards, about to break. At that moment, through the dim light from the living room window, he saw a rotting, pitted arm across the door, stiffly blocking it from opening.

The clash between ghosts is not a contest of strength. The headless ghost is very powerful, but the reason it cannot open the door is because it cannot suppress the ghost outside the door.

In other words, the ghost that was sitting on this single sofa just now was more terrifying than the headless ghost now.

"Damn it, what on earth is that standing in front of the door?"

At that moment, Jimmy outside the door was breathing heavily, his whole body tense to the extreme, his face covered in cold sweat. He was pressed tightly against the wall next to him, glancing to the side out of the corner of his eye.

He witnessed a horrific scene.

A corpse that had been rotting for many days had just escaped from the room and was now standing motionless in front of the door.

"Yes, it's a ghost."

Li Yang's heart was pounding. He dared not move, not even breathe. He could only stand frozen in place, pressed tightly against the wall behind him, praying that the ghost in front of the door had not noticed the two of them.

As for turning around and running away...

They didn't even think about it.

The way back had vanished, and another ghost stood in the wooden staircase above them, ready to follow them the moment they stepped down the stairs.

That will also lead to death.

Moreover, they were less than a meter Ghost Portrait in front of the gate; if the ghost really wanted to kill them, it wouldn't give them a chance to escape.

The two were terrified, their breathing becoming heavier and heavier, the sound of their violent heartbeats seemingly echoing in the quiet, dimly lit stairwell.

"If the door can be blocked, then the windows and walls can also be blocked. This ghost didn't attack me; it just wants to trap me here. Perhaps that's its method of attack."

Yang Jian was analyzing the situation at the moment and was unaware of what had happened to the two people outside.

If a Ghost Tamer were trapped here, they would die within a few days, because the human body cannot withstand prolonged periods without food, water, or sleep.

He had experienced many supernatural events, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre method of murder.

Ghost traps people?

I checked the time.

Ten minutes have passed since Yang Jian entered this room. If he doesn't find a way to leave, he'll be trapped for even longer.

"It's a pity that my Ghost Eye are suppressed. Otherwise, with my Ghost Domain, this house wouldn't be able to trap me at all. No, that's not quite right. Ghost Paintings suppressed my Ghost Domain, and it's the same for other ghosts. In some ways, the ghosts in this room are even more special than my Ghost Eye."

Because even the ghost painting couldn't completely affect this place, the area where the ghost lingered even forced a window to remain in the living room leading outside.

Yang Jian looked at the window again.

To prove his theory, or perhaps to figure out the ghost's behavior patterns in the room, he went over and tried to open the window to leave the building.

If possible, he wouldn't mind taking a detour and going back up to the third floor via the outdoor staircase.

However, he had only just approached the window.

Suddenly, the tightly closed door behind them creaked open slightly, and the ghost blocking the doorway vanished.

But Yang Jian immediately felt a dark figure flash past him, along with a strong stench of corpses.

The next moment.

Behind the gray glass window in the living room, a black figure appeared out of nowhere, standing there stiffly and eerily, pressing its hands against the transparent glass, preventing Yang Jian from opening the window.

Clearly, this time the ghost isn't Blocking Door, but the window.

"You can only block one spot at a time. If the ghost chooses to Blocking Door, it abandons the window as an exit. If it chooses to block the window, the door will open. In other words, if you want to leave this room, two people must come in. One person stays behind to restrain the ghost, while the other person can bypass the ghost's blockade and leave safely."

Looking through the glass at the blurry ghost outside, Yang Jian immediately thought of a way to break the spell.

"Besides that, there is another way, which is for you to be faster than the ghost and leave before the ghost blocks the next intersection. However, this requires the Ghost Domain to accomplish."

Thinking about this...

Yang Jian turned to the outside and asked, "Li Yang and that guy named Jimmy, are you there?"

"Mr. Yang, we're still here." Li Yang's voice came from outside.

At this moment, Li Yang and Jimmy were still covered in cold sweat, but they had already breathed a sigh of relief because they heard Yang Jian's voice inside and saw that Gui Bujian, who had been blocking the doorway, had disappeared.

We've survived the most dangerous time, and now we're finally a little safer.

But Yang Jian's next words made Li Yang's legs tremble.

"I need someone to come into the room, Li Yang, come and help me," Yang Jian said.

"What?" Li Yang's voice trembled.

Yang Jian, "Hurry up, don't waste my time."

Li Yang's expression changed, and after hesitating for a moment, he could only grit his teeth and cautiously peek inside.

He saw Yang Jian standing in the living room, seemingly looking out the window.

"Just now, I saw that ghost enter the room," Li Yang said. "If I had gone in, I would have died."

"You won't die. This ghost isn't that scary." Yang Jian looked at him and said, "Do you think I would lie to you? If you want to stay outside, that's fine too, but it will waste at least half an hour, or an hour. I'm confident I can survive that time, but I'm afraid you can't."

"There are more ghosts here than I imagined. I remember there was one lingering on the stairs outside."

"I see."

Although Li Yang was terrified, he remained relatively clear-headed. He knew that the only way for him to escape alive was to trust Yang Jian in front of him.

Even if entering the room might mean death, I have to accept it.

At that moment, he cautiously took a step and slowly walked into the room.

The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the surroundings exuded an indescribable eeriness.

"Come to my spot," Yang Jian said.

Li Yang nodded, seemingly relieved that there was no real danger. He relaxed a little and quickly hurried to the living room.

"Do you see the figure outside this window?" Yang Jian pointed to the person outside whose hands were pressed against the glass.

"I saw it." Li Yang's throat moved, and he felt a little strained to speak.

Yang Jian was unusually calm. "The ghost is right outside the window. Your only task now is to stand here and watch it. Once I leave the room, turn around and run out immediately. I will restrain the ghost from outside. This shouldn't be difficult for an ordinary person like you."

"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try." Li Yang roughly understood Yang Jian's plan.

He needs to make the ghost show itself.

The best solution would be for both sides to switch positions, so that Yang Jian appears outside the door.

"Very good."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he turned and left. He moved quickly and ran out of the room in just a few seconds.

As expected, his prediction was correct.

The ghost remained blocking the window, not preventing Yang Jian from leaving.

There are two people, but the ghost can only choose one.

"Okay, run back now," Yang Jian said, standing outside the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang turned and ran towards the door. He could see Yang Jian standing at the door to meet him.

But he was fast, and the ghost in the room was even faster.

A dark shadow seemed to flash across the room, and a cold wind swept through the silent surroundings.

"Bang!" The door, which was only a few meters away from Li Yang, was suddenly slammed shut.

Immediately.

His steps froze, and he stood there, stunned, staring intently at the door, hoping it would open soon.

Only if the door is opened can he leave here alive.

Otherwise, he would become Yang Jian's substitute, trapped here alive by this ghost, even if he saw the exit, it would be useless.

"They've finally appeared?"

Yang Jian stood outside the gate, coldly staring at the corpse propping up the door.

At that moment, he recognized the corpse's face.

It was a foreign man who had been dead for a long time, but the body was so decomposed that it was impossible to make out his features. It could only be roughly determined that he was a man.

"Is this a ghost Ghost Tamer, and also a member of that team?" Yang Jian looked at the corpses beside him.

Without further hesitation, he took off his gloves and reached out his pale hand to grab the corpse.

Since I don't need to suppress the Ghost Eye right now, the Demon Hand still has one suppression slot left to use.

Immediately, the corpse propped up behind the door lost some strange power, and its rotting body began to fall down with a clatter, as if it had fallen apart.

"Creak!"

The tightly closed door opened at that moment.

As soon as the door opened, Li Yang rushed out, panting heavily.

"I told you, you'd be fine." Yang Jian casually tossed the corpse into the room and closed the door.

He didn't try to imprison the ghost because he didn't want to waste time and didn't have the tools to do so, so he had no choice but to abandon it.

Normally, he would have just taken it out to sell.

After all, in the paranormal community, imprisoned ghosts are very valuable. Half a year ago, they were already priced at 100 million, and now the price will only be higher, and they are still in high demand. After all, paranormal events have become increasingly big, and the level of attention they receive is far greater than before. Many corporations and countries have begun to study and participate in them regardless of cost.

"Yang Jian, I... I feel like something's wrong with me."

After catching his breath, Li Yang looked up at Yang Jian. Yang Jian's face was even more ashen than that of a dead man, and signs of rigor mortis were beginning to appear on his haggard face.

Yang Jian's expression changed upon seeing him like this. He glanced at the rotting, motionless corpse by the door next to him, then at Li Yang, and then realized something. He chuckled softly, "I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky, but I still have to remind you, you've now become Ghost Tamer."

"That ghost has possessed you."

"Wh-what?" Li Yang stared at him in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
