Chapter 58 – Rush in


“You first?” Yang Jian looked at Yan Li.

“No, no, no, Brother Policeman, you go first.”

“I’m only 18 years old, young, so it should be me calling you brother, and at most I can only be considered a temporary worker, I can’t bear the title of a policeman, so you go first.”

“Your ability is strong, I’ll follow you, you lead and I’ll follow your commands.”

“Humble, you became a Ghost Tamer before me, you’re my senior, I still have a lot to learn from you.”

Yang Jian and Yan Li stood in front of the clothing store, politely declining each other.

The glass door in front of them opened on its own, and inside it was dimly lit, exuding a strange sense of oppression.

Especially knowing that there was a ghost inside, they were even more uneasy.

They were supposed to work together to catch the ghost.

But when they arrived, no one had the courage to go in first.

Because one mistake could cost a life.

Becoming a Ghost Tamer only gave you the ability to deal with fierce ghosts, it didn’t mean you could act recklessly in front of ghosts.

After declining each other for a while, neither of them wanted to go in first.

Finally, Yang Jian suggested, “Since we’re not sure, should we leave?”

“…,” Yan Li was speechless.

“If you miss this ghost, you might run into an even scarier one next time, and it won’t be so easy to catch it then.”

Yang Jian rubbed his hand and said, “That’s true, this ghost’s level is not high enough, otherwise it would have killed more people these days. So let’s not decline anymore, let’s go in together.”

“Okay, let’s go in together.” Yan Li nodded.

He didn’t want to give up this opportunity, his situation was much more serious than Yang Jian’s, and the time until the ghost inside him revived was getting shorter and shorter, so he wanted to make a final effort.

“Let’s begin.”

Yang Jian took a deep breath and walked carefully towards the glass door that had already been opened.

Yan Li followed him, his face tense, ready to use the power of the fierce ghost at any time.

The clothing store wasn’t big, it was only around 100 square meters, and it looked cluttered due to the fake mannequins and piled up goods, making it cramped.

“That ghost is inside that mannequin, you’ve seen the picture, find it and we’ll deal with it together.” Yang Jian whispered.

He turned on his flashlight and placed it on a shelf at the door, illuminating the clothing store.

“I remember that fake mannequin, it’s very special, I won’t mistake it.” Yan Li said.

Yang Jian didn’t say anything, he just surveyed the surroundings.

No movement.

Nothing strange.

It was just like a normal temporarily closed shop.

But…a strong smell of corpses gradually permeated the air, and it couldn’t be dispelled.

“Ga…” A slight sound.

The glass door that had been opened before slowly closed again. Although the sound was not loud, it was especially clear in this extremely quiet environment.

Yang Jian and Yan Li were startled and turned around to look.

There was nothing.

Just like before, the door seemed to have closed on its own.

“There’s nothing here.” Yan Li said in a low voice.

“I know, but in this situation, I can be sure that the ghost is here.” Yang Jian said.Everything else seemed normal, but this clothing store felt strange to him. Furthermore, Jiang Yan’s review of the footage in the monitoring room confirmed that the first paranormal incident in the mall had occurred here.

“It’s okay if the door is closed, right?” Yan Li asked.

“We’re not planning on running away, so it doesn’t matter if it’s closed. Besides, if we were really going to run, we wouldn’t go out the main entrance,” Yang Jian replied.

“Wait, listen, what’s that sound?”

Yan Li’s expression changed.

A soft and strange sound, like something turning and rubbing against each other, came from the clothing store.

“Yang Jian, look at these fake models…” Suddenly, Yan Li exclaimed.

Yang Jian had already noticed without him saying anything.

At this moment, all the human-shaped fake models in the store slowly turned their heads, not just one, but all of them. Their mechanical faces were directed towards Yang Jian and Yan Li, and their false eyes revealed a creepy expression, as if they were conveying a terrible message.

I’ve got my eye on you…

“Don’t turn your back on them,” Yang Jian warned. “Be careful not to get your head chopped off.”

He saw a human-shaped fake model without legs suddenly lift its head and look at him, and its fake hands moved towards itself.

The other fake models also began to move, and their movements seemed to become more frequent.

It seemed like…a ghost was reviving.

But as Yang Jian and Yan Li quickly adjusted their positions so that they wouldn’t show their backs to any of the human-shaped fake models, the commotion gradually subsided.

“Can that ghost control even these fake human models?” Yan Li was slightly surprised and nervous.

“It seems that anything that has had its head turned by the ghost can be controlled, but I still can’t confirm how the ghost exists or in what form. Whether it’s the models or the previously head-switched corpses, these things aren’t the real ghost. The real ghost has been lurking in the shadows all along, and in order to catch it, we must force it out,” Yang Jian explained.

“Do you have any methods?” Yan Li asked.

“Not yet…” Yang Jian hesitated for a moment.

He could try to envelop this area with the ghost realm and see if he could bring the ghost into it.

But if he guessed wrong and the ghost was no longer in this clothing store, then he would have wasted an opportunity.

“Let’s wait for a bit. If a real ghost appears, we’ll use the ghost realm. We can’t waste this chance,” Yang Jian said.

“Yang Jian, look at the changing room. The door is open. Could the human-shaped fake model possessed by the ghost be inside?” Yan Li suddenly pointed to a slightly open changing room.

“It’s very possible. Let’s go take a look.”

The two cautiously approached.

They slowly opened the changing room door with their flashlights.

Inside the changing room stood a woman.

A woman with closed eyes and a pale face, very unfamiliar. She was one of the victims in the mall, and although she had the appearance of a woman, her body was that of a human-shaped fake model.

Did the ghost attach a human head to the fake model’s neck?

However, this woman’s head had been lying here for some time, and the color of her skin and flesh had changed, emitting a strong smell of decay.

“It’s not her,” Yan Li whispered.

But at that moment, the door of the adjacent changing room slowly opened.A strange model nearly two meters tall, with long arms and legs, silently walked out from inside, blocking the flashlight beam that was shining from behind. A pair of hands reached towards Yang Jian and Yan Li’s heads from behind.

“Hmm?”

However, at the moment when he saw the change in the light and shadow under his feet, Yang Jian’s pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that something was not right.

His nerves, which had been tense for a long time, made him react subconsciously.

A crimson eye opened, revealing the flesh and skin on the back of his head.

The scene behind him immediately transmitted into his mind as soon as the Ghost Eye appeared.

He didn’t know when the human body mannequin in the mobile phone picture had already stood behind him, reaching out towards him.

“Behind you.”

Yang Jian growled lowly, quickly taking a step forward to avoid the attack.

But Yan Li reacted a step slower, and his head was touched.

A cold chill seemed to spread throughout his body through his scalp, making him subconsciously break out in goosebumps.

Yan Li also reacted quickly. His hand was already covered in blood, not avoiding the attack, but instead reaching out to grab the long arm of the mannequin.

“I got you.”

There was no doubt that the hand covered in blood grabbed the outstretched arm, causing the blood in his hand to seem to merge into the mannequin.

Soon, blood kept seeping out from the joints, eyes, neck, and other places of the mannequin.

“My ghost blood can suppress the abilities of any ghost. Take advantage of this time to subdue it…” Yan Li shouted.

But before he could finish speaking, the female corpse behind him suddenly moved.

A dark green and black decaying arm reached out towards Yan Li.

It seemed that stopping the mannequin was not enough.

“You caught a useless one. Don’t you see the other situation around you?” Yang Jian looked at the suddenly moving female corpse in front of him and kicked it without hesitation.

His foot emitted a faint red light.

He kicked the female corpse, and its body was embedded into the wall behind it.

But its legs were still struggling, unable to come out.

Yan Li turned his head and looked, relieved.

Fortunately, he was working with Yang Jian this time. If it was just him alone, he would have already died when he turned around just now.

However, something even more terrifying happened.

When Yang Jian walked out of the changing room, preparing to deal with this special mannequin with Yan Li, he inadvertently glanced around and was stunned.

He didn’t know when, but the entire store outside was already crowded with people, blocking the entrance. One of them even walked into the store and picked up his flashlight from the nearby shelf.

This person had no head but was wearing a security guard uniform.

“Liu Qiang?” Yang Jian recognized the body.

“Hey, Yang Jian, something’s wrong. I saw Liu Qiang’s body walk out just now. I was too scared to speak up. Be careful on your side.” Jiang Yan’s voice came from the satellite positioning phone.

“I know.” Yang Jian’s face darkened.

Now you tell me. You’re really outstanding, coming to me when people have already gathered in front of me.

“Click!”

Accompanied by a slight sound, the headless security guard turned off the flashlight.

The surroundings immediately plunged into endless darkness.

In the darkness, Yang Jian faintly heard the sound of people walking into the clothing store.

More and more ghosts poured in, as if they wanted to fill this not-so-large clothing store.
