Chapter 40 - The Operating Elevator

After waiting for two full hours, Yang Jian could confirm that the ghost infant truly would not return.

The matter with Wang Bin's family was temporarily resolved, although it left a minor hidden danger.

He took a sympathetic look at Wang Shanshan.

It was out of his hands that he became a ghost tamer; under those circumstances, he would have died in the restroom if he hadn't. But she could have been like everyone else and brought out of the school by him; who would have thought she would be targeted by the ghost infant at the last moment.

"I have work to do, and I came out on leave. Now that this matter is settled, I'll leave first. If there's anything, notify me by phone. Of course, if it's a supernatural event, I'll charge a fee," Yang Jian stood up, preparing to take a taxi and leave.

Wang Bin hurriedly said, "Today, I really appreciate your help, my classmate. I don't know how to thank you. How about this, when you're free, let me treat you to a meal?"

"No need for a meal, no need to spend money," Yang Jian said, "And being with me doesn't usually bring about good things."

Wang Shanshan suddenly spoke up, "Can I follow you?"

"What are you saying, daughter?" Wang Haiyan hurriedly grabbed her hand, afraid that her daughter would follow Yang Jian and run away.

She also understood that the current Yang Jian was not as simple as imagined. Following him would definitely lead to danger in the future.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "You should stay with your parents. They have not been easy for your sake today... And you should also understand your own situation. Even if you haven't been targeted by the ghost infant, your life is not long."

"I know, but I just want to be with you," Wang Shanshan said, without any shyness or hesitation, as naturally as ordinary speech.

"That's not possible. You should stay with your parents now. Alright, that's it, I'm leaving."

How could he let Wang Shanshan follow him?

Having an extra burden, isn't that a pit for himself?

When he has the Ghost Realm and encounters trouble, he can leave immediately. With an extra person, he would have to save them.

Let's go, let's go.

Got the money, hurry up and take a taxi and leave.

Go back to the mall to continue his way of risking his life to earn money.

"This young man is very unusual," Wang Bin couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yang Jian leave.

What is most important in the 21st century?

Talent.

Yang Jian has this special talent, and he also has a brain. Although he lacks social experience, it's also because he is young. As long as he is given some time to grow, he will definitely be a prominent figure in the future.

"It would be a good choice if my daughter could be his friend," Wang Bin thought to himself.

But this young man seems to have no interest in Shanshan... His own daughter is not bad-looking.

Does Yang Jian like to do basic?

If Yang Jian knew about this idea, he would definitely scold him, the decayed eye sees the basic.

I'm almost dead, what mood is there to fall in love, and it's too late to make a child.

Back to the mall.

In the mall, apart from the security room, the lights are on, and other places are dark.

When Yang Jian came back, another security guard, Liu Qiang, was playing games on his mobile phone bored.

"Why did you just come back? How long have you been gone? You just came and took leave? Fortunately, I lied to Sister Li and said you went to the bathroom, or you would definitely be scolded," Liu Qiang said.

"Sorry to trouble you, my classmate had something urgent to find me, so it was delayed, and it won't happen next time," Yang Jian apologized.

"But you came just in time. It's almost midnight, it's time to patrol. Let's go, make a final round, and if there's nothing, you can turn off the lights and go back to sleep. You have to work at 8:30 tomorrow," Liu Qiang put down his phone, stretched, and yawned.

Yang Jian admired this Liu Qiang, who was really brave, daring to patrol in such a big mall alone.

If it were him before, he would definitely not have the courage.

"The dormitory is upstairs, we patrol from the underground parking lot, and then turn off the lights on the way back, go directly back to the dormitory to sleep, so as not to come back again," Liu Qiang said, "Remember to bring a flashlight."

"Thanks for the reminder," Yang Jian nodded, picked up the flashlight, and went on patrol with Liu Qiang.

Although he only planned to observe here for three days, he should still do what he should do, and not be half-hearted.

Because there was no business, there were not a few cars in the underground parking lot, and it was empty.

"Whose cars are those in that row?" Suddenly, Yang Jian pointed to a row of five or six luxury cars and said, "Are they left by the missing people?"

"No, those are the boss's cars, changing every day, who knows how many the boss has at home. Well, there's nothing in the underground parking lot, let's go up and patrol the next floor," Liu Qiang said.

Yang Jian took another look, the underground parking lot was clear, and there was indeed nothing special.

If there is anything wrong, it must be seen at a glance.

Continue patrolling on the first floor.

After making a round in the dark with a flashlight, nothing happened, except for being a bit dark, everything was as usual.

Go to the second floor by elevator.

But just as he had just patrolled less than a circle, he suddenly heard a slight rumbling sound coming from upstairs in the mall.

"What sound is this?"

Yang Jian took the flashlight and shone it up, but saw nothing.

The sound seemed to be coming from the elevator between the fourth and fifth floors.

"It's the sound of the elevator running. Maybe Sister Li went up and forgot to turn it off. Each elevator has a separate switch, and it's normal to forget. Anyway, we will wipe their butts for them in the end," Liu Qiang said.

"Is it? Let's go up and have a look," Yang Jian said.

Liu Qiang said, "What's the rush? Take your time. First, go to the third floor and then go to the fourth floor. There are cameras here. If someone sees us being lazy, we will be deducted wages. Especially you are new here. If you are found to be lazy, you will definitely be fired."

"..." Yang Jian felt that this Liu Qiang was a bit rigid.

Well, take your time and take your time. Anyway, there is no one in the mall, and this situation has nothing to do with me.

The two of them slowly strolled through the third floor, came to the fourth floor and took a turn, and finally came to the elevator.

The mall elevator is not a vertical type, but an escalator, which operates on a conveyor belt.

"You see, it's okay, right? It's the elevator power that was forgotten to be turned off. Well, let's go," Liu Qiang walked over and turned off the power at the elevator.

Yang Jian didn't say much more, hoping that he was just being paranoid.

Go to the fifth floor by elevator.

This time it wasn't an illusion.

The faint smell of corpses came again.

It permeated the air and lingered.

He hadn't smelled it on the third floor before.

"The fifth floor, something is wrong..." Yang Jian took a flashlight and followed Liu Qiang around the fifth floor.

In addition to closed shops and some shelves, there was nothing else.

It seemed that everything was very calm.

But when Yang Jian passed a clothing store, he took a flashlight and shone it.

There were plastic human models inside, incomplete, just like during the day, no change.

"Everything is normal, let's go back to sleep," Liu Qiang yawned.

"Okay."

Yang Jian took back his gaze, took a flashlight, and left the mall with Liu Qiang through the staff channel, and went back to the staff dormitory.

On the way, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, the elevator on the fourth floor should have been running all the time if it was not closed, so why didn't we see it running when we went there before?"

"That's an induction type. It will only move when people pass by. If there are no people, it won't turn," Liu Qiang said.

"If it's an induction type, then it means that the elevator suddenly started running just now because someone was using it? But there are only two people in the mall besides us. Who is using the elevator?" Yang Jian said.

Liu Qiang said, "It might be a malfunction. If there were people, they should have been seen during the patrol before."

Yang Jian frowned, wanting to go back and check, but felt it was unnecessary. It's better to wait until the boss comes tomorrow to have a look.

Just as Yang Jian and Liu Qiang went back to the dormitory to sleep.

In the mall.

A faint rumbling sound came again.

The escalator started to operate again.

The elevator from the fifth floor to the fourth floor suddenly lit up the power light, and then slowly started to operate.

After about a minute, the elevator stopped.

But the elevator from the fourth floor to the third floor started to operate.

Rumble...

But after running for a while, it stopped.

Then the elevator from the third floor to the second floor started to operate.

Finally.

After the elevator to the first floor ran for a while, everything in the mall returned to calm.
