Everyone immediately left the hallway, realizing that Ouyang Tian might have had an accident, and returned to the lobby.

The lacquered coffin was still intact and placed there.

However, the candlelight in front of the coffin had been extinguished. Although there was still light shining from above, the village’s lights were like a layer of thick gray soil, somewhat yellowed and not bright, giving a sense of oppression.

However, in this coffin, a corpse was twisted into an impossible position, sitting against the wall.

Blood flowed out of the corpse, staining the surrounding area red.

Although it was no longer in human form, it could still be seen from the clothes and some features.

This was Ouyang Tian.

“Dead, is he dead?” Zhang Yiming’s voice trembled.

They were in the same room, less than ten meters apart.

A prestigious ghost tamer like Ouyang Tian died so easily right in front of them, without even a chance to struggle, leaving only a deformed corpse.

“The ghost in his body is also gone.”

Ye Jun, who was close to Ouyang Tian, remained silent for a moment before speaking.

“It can be seen that if the ghost in his body was still there, he wouldn’t have died so easily.”

Zhang Yiming said, “The difference is too big. The terror level of this ghost is at least defined as A. Ghost tamers can kill it as easily as killing a chicken.”

“No, it’s easier than killing a chicken. At least the chicken can make a sound, but this…”

He couldn’t express whether it was fear or a bitter smile on his face.

But everyone could feel the suppressed and helpless mood of Zhang Yiming.

Of course, everyone else felt the same emotions.

After all, a silent death of a fellow ghost tamer in front of them was unbearable for anyone.

“Will we die if we are alone?” Yang Jian frowned deeply.

“In this way, it is impossible to know the killing methods of this ghost and the rules of its actions. It seems like killing people to cover up the truth. It’s just not right. It’s understandable that this ghost kills ghost tamers who are alone, but why deliberately lure us out?”

“It seems like the footsteps intentionally gathered us together. When I was sleeping, the ghost didn’t attack me but deliberately lured me out. Later, I bumped into Zhang Han and Ouyang Tian.”

“The same thing happened just now on the upper floor. Footsteps appeared, and I ran into Zhang Yiming and the others.”

At this moment, Yang Jian was thinking and analyzing based on the only clue he had.

“If that’s the case, the ghost is both trying to gather us and attacking ghost tamers who are alone?”

“No, that doesn’t make sense. Ghosts usually have singular actions with strong purpose. It is impossible to have two opposing behaviors unless there are two ghosts in this village.”

“One ghost is gathering us, and another ghost is dispersing us?”

Then, the coughing sick ghost and the one who killed He Sheng and Ouyang Tian are definitely not the same.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

It was so terrifying!

“Yang Jian, what are you thinking? Stop thinking and let’s go.” Zhang Han reminded.

At this moment, Yang Jian snapped back to reality and suddenly saw that Ouyang Tian’s body had been wrapped up and placed aside.

The group of them was leaving and walking outside.

“What are you doing?” Zhang Yiming turned around and said, “In this terrible situation, staying here is a certain death. I decided to stay and take a gamble because we had the advantage of numbers. But now two ghost tamers have already died, and their deaths were so strange and suspicious. It is not a wise decision to stay. We should give up this mission.”

“After going back, I will settle the score with that company. They must know something.”

After speaking, he handed a car key to Yang Jian.

“This is Ouyang Tian’s car key. I saw that you didn’t drive into the village before. You can temporarily use this car. It’s also a way to help each other. You are welcome to join us if you want to leave.”

Yang Jian took the car key and looked at them with a frown.

Being timid and afraid of death won’t achieve anything.

It seems that they prefer to sit in the club waiting for death.

He had no intention of leaving. He decided to stay.

“Aren’t you going to leave?” Zhang Han saw that Yang Jian didn’t move and said, “Don’t hesitate anymore. Let’s leave together. You will die if you stay here.”

Yang Jian said, “As ghost tamers at the bottom, we have no support from conglomerates or the country. Our social status is not high, let alone any power. The channels for obtaining information are very limited. The methods of taming fierce ghosts may have been circulating at some level long ago, but we are still in the dark. This Huanggang Village incident is an opportunity.”

“If we seize this opportunity, we can turn things around. As long as we tame a second ghost and prolong the revival of fierce ghosts, all the deadlocks will be broken. You guys go.”

The others looked deeply at Yang Jian.

They knew that this kid was determined to fight to the death.

But they didn’t mock this behavior at all. Instead, they admired it.

Because if they went back, they would be waiting for death, while Yang Jian was fighting for survival.

They should be the ones being mocked.

“Then take care of yourself.” Zhang Yiming didn’t say much and left with Ye Jun.

Zhang Han hesitated for a moment.

He wanted to leave, but after hearing what Yang Jian said, he wanted to stay and take a gamble.

In the end, fear overcame courage, and he gritted his teeth and left.

Two people had already died, and he couldn’t afford to take the risk.

“It’s good to use them as a test. If this ghost really has a ghost domain, these people won’t be able to leave the village. If they can, then I can leave anytime too.”

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and had his own calculations in mind.

They were afraid of death, and so was he.

But he had a huge advantage. Once he used the ghost domain, not even the knocking ghost could keep him.

It was precisely because he had this ability to escape that he dared to take a gamble.

“They have left, so now the only one left alone is me.”

Yang Jian immediately withdrew his gaze and started to consider the current situation.

“If it’s the same as before, the next person the fierce ghost should attack is me. However, Ouyang Tian just died, so the ghost will have to wait a while before it can possibly kill again. After all, even hanging oneself needs to catch a breath. Since that’s the case, I should take this opportunity to take a look at this thing.”

Then, he looked at the lacquered coffin in the middle of the lobby.

He had already begun to grasp a clue in his mind.

At this point, giving up was really unwilling.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jian walked towards the lacquered coffin under the dim light.

The coffin seemed newly made, emitting a strong smell of paint, somewhat pungent.

But was there really a human corpse inside?

In the next moment, Yang Jian reached out and placed his hand on the coffin lid.

He was ready to open it.
