In an inconspicuous storage room in the mall, several beams of light from mobile phones illuminated the space. Everyone inside was holding their breath, their faces pale and filled with terror.
They were Boss Tang, Master Luo, Manager Li, Sister Li, and several others. In addition to them, there was a very special person, Yan Li.
Yan Li's face looked particularly grim at the moment. He was looking at the door in front of him, which was smeared with bright red blood. The blood had congealed and did not disperse, as if it was seeping out from inside the door, continuously dripping, making a 'drip, drip' sound.
The blood had formed a puddle on the floor.
"The noise has stopped, it seems that the ghost can't get in for the time being," Yan Li said, letting out a big sigh of relief. He looked at his hands, which were covered in blood, and his face did not look very good.
"M-Master, should be fine now, right?" Boss Tang asked, still frightened.
They had originally come to the fifth floor smoothly, preparing to leave through the safety passage. However, when they arrived at the fifth floor, they found that all the doors had been locked by someone.
Thinking of smashing the lock to leave.
But as they were smashing the lock, something strange happened beside them.
Someone suddenly fell to the ground behind them... without a head.
At that time, they were so scared that they forgot to smash the lock and leave. They fled in all directions and fortunately met Yan Li, who brought them into this storage room and closed the door, thus narrowly escaping.
But the situation did not calm down.
Just a moment ago, there was a loud knock on the door outside the door.
It seemed that something outside was trying to break down the door of the storage room and rush in, even breaking the lock.
That strength... absolutely should not be possessed by a human.
The others saw that blood was flowing from Yan Li's hands, and he smeared the blood on the door, and all the movements just subsided.
"This situation can't last long, and the ghost outside the door has already focused on us, knowing that we are here, it will continue to attack us... and I can feel that the ghost is waiting for us outside," Yan Li said.
His current situation was exactly the same as the situation Yang Jian had encountered before.
But he did not realize what kind of existence this ghost was.
"So, what should we do now? Am I going to die?" Manager Li asked in fear.
Yan Li snorted lightly: "If you die, you won't be the only one. What are you afraid of? I told you before that swindlers can't be trusted, looking for what Feng Shui masters to see Feng Shui and perform rituals. When you really encounter a ghost, you run away faster than anyone else."
After saying that, he glanced at the corner.
The confident and self-assured Master Luo at that time was now hiding there, shivering, where was the arrogant appearance of the swindler before.
"Master Yan, think of a way quickly. Hiding here all the time is not a solution. As long as you can leave here, the price is negotiable," Boss Tang was a bit anxious.
He felt that the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be.
Only by leaving here and leaving the mall would it be fine.
"Don't make noise, is it a matter of money now?" Yan Li said in a low voice, he was also very impatient at the moment.
Because he didn't have a very good solution.
The difficulty of dealing with this ghost in the mall exceeded his estimate, and his limit as a ghost tamer was also coming soon.
Just when they were at a loss.
Yang Jian was slowly taking the elevator, holding a flashlight and walking upstairs.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Beside him, Jiang Yan was holding his sleeve, shrinking her neck, and looking around, for fear that a ghost would come out of a dark place.
"Of course I'm afraid, but is it useful?" Yang Jian said nonchalantly, "Is being afraid not going to die? The more fearful you are when encountering a ghost, the more likely you are to die. The fact that you were able to hide in the toilet for four days without being attacked by the ghost can only be said that you were lucky."
"But, to survive, luck is not enough, you also need to take action."
"Sitting and waiting to die, there is only one way to death."
As he spoke, the fifth floor arrived.
All the way was calm, and no movement came.
Yang Jian took a flashlight and shone it around, finding no one around.
But at the entrance of the safety passage, he saw a head.
The face was pale, with eyes closed, and the neck seemed to be broken, not a drop of blood flowed out. If it weren't for the absence of a body, this head seemed to be asleep, looking peaceful.
"This is the person from Master Luo's group," Yang Jian's expression moved slightly: "But he was killed by a ghost."
Jiang Yan looked at the head, scared to cover her mouth, not letting herself scream.
Yang Jian had told her before, no matter what you see, don't scream.
"Where is the surveillance room?" Yang Jian said.
"Over there..." Jiang Yan pointed ahead and said.
Yang Jian followed her direction and quickly arrived at the surveillance room.
At the moment, the door of the surveillance room was open, with a bunch of keys inserted in the lock, and the light inside was on, as if someone had entered.
"Isn't there a power outage? Why is the light still on inside?" Jiang Yan was surprised.
Yang Jian's gaze condensed: "It's not a power outage, but someone deliberately turned off the lights in the mall. Generally speaking, how could the mall have a power outage? If there was really a power outage, I wouldn't come to the surveillance room."
But when he walked in, he was stunned.
In front of the surveillance desk, a person was sitting there, the body was a bit stiff, motionless.
This person was wearing... a security uniform.
And there were some water stains next to the seat, as if his trouser legs were wet, as if he had just come out of the toilet.
"It's a colleague."
Jiang Yan had not seen the photo in Yang Jian's hand and subconsciously shouted.
The person heard the sound and immediately turned around to take a look and replied.
"Yang Jian, why are you here?"
"Liu Qiang..." Yang Jian's face suddenly sank.
He still has that photo of the security uniform taken in the toilet in his phone album.
And there is no third person wearing a security uniform in the mall except for Liu Qiang and himself.
"That's great, so you know each other." Jiang Yan was a bit happy because she found another living person, and there was a sense of security.
"I am the company's accountant, Jiang Yan, nice to meet you."
She wanted to go up and say hello, but was stopped by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian showed her the photo: "Take a look at this first, this was taken in the toilet before."
Jiang Yan looked at the photo.
In the dim toilet, a person wearing a security uniform seemed to have just walked out, just capturing half of the body.
Jiang Yan looked at the photo, then looked at Liu Qiang, and suddenly her beautiful eyes widened, a sense of fear surged into her heart, the hand that had just stretched out a little bit was like being electrocuted and suddenly retracted, then covered her mouth and hurriedly hid behind Yang Jian.
"Stand against the wall and don't move." Yang Jian reached out and pulled her to the wall.
Jiang Yan immediately stood against the wall, not daring to move.
This woman is indeed very smart, knowing when to do what.
"What's wrong with you two?" Liu Qiang walked over, puzzled.
Yang Jian looked at him and said, "Nothing, the mall is haunted, some people are scattered, so I came to the surveillance room to take a look. By the way, why are you here?"
He talked to Liu Qiang as usual.
But in his heart, he has already defined Liu Qiang as... a ghost.
Liu Qiang said, "Haunted? Where is it haunted, why didn't I see it? Before, I saw that the mall was power out, so I went to check the line. I saw that the light in the surveillance room was not turned off, so I came in to have a look, and I sat for a while before you guys came."
"Is that so?" Yang Jian looked at him warily and said, "Have you seen anyone else besides us?"
"No, I haven't found them." Liu Qiang shook his head.
"Really? Can you help me check the previous surveillance then?" Yang Jian said.
Liu Qiang said, "No problem, I'm good at this."
After saying that, he sat down and started to adjust the previous surveillance.
Yang Jian walked over and looked down at his wet trouser legs: "Did you go to the toilet before?"
"No? Why are you asking this?" Liu Qiang replied.
"It's nothing, just asking casually." Yang Jian said.
