Waiting for two hours.
Yang Jian was sure that the ghost baby wouldn’t come again.
Wang Bin’s family’s problem was temporarily resolved, although it left a small hidden danger.
He looked at Wang Shanshan with some sympathy.
Becoming a ghost tamer was unavoidable for himself. In that situation, he would have died in the toilet if he didn’t become a ghost tamer. But she could have been taken out of school like everyone else, who knew that she would be targeted by the ghost baby at the critical moment.
“I still have work to do. I took a leave of absence just now. Since this matter has been settled, I will leave first. If there is anything, please call me. Of course, if it is a supernatural event, I will charge a fee.” Yang Jian stood up and prepared to take a taxi and leave.
Wang Bin hurriedly said, “Thank you so much for today’s matter. I really don’t know how to thank you. How about I treat you to a meal when you have time?”
“No need for a meal, so as not to waste money.” Yang Jian said, “And nothing good happens when I’m with me.”
Wang Shanshan suddenly spoke up, “Can I follow you?”
“What are you talking about, daughter?” Wang Haiyan hurriedly grabbed her hand, afraid that her daughter would run away with Yang Jian.
She also understood that Yang Jian was not as simple as imagined now, and she would definitely encounter danger if she followed him.
Yang Jian smiled and said, “You should stay with your parents. They went through a lot for you today…and you should also be aware of your situation. Even if you weren’t targeted by the ghost baby, your life wouldn’t be long.”
“I know, but I just want to be with you.” Wang Shanshan said, without any shyness like an ordinary conversation.
“That’s not possible. You should stay with your parents now. Okay, I’m leaving.” How could he let Wang Shanshan follow him?
Having extra baggage would only be a burden.
If he encountered trouble with the situation in the ghost realm, he could leave immediately. But with more people, he would have to rescue them.
He left after receiving the money and taking a taxi.
He returned to the mall to continue his path of working hard to earn money.
“This young man is extraordinary.” Wang Bin couldn’t help but sigh when he saw Yang Jian leave.
What is the most important thing in the 21st century?
Talent.
Yang Jian has this special talent, and he also has a brain. Although he lacks social experience, it is also because of his youth. As long as he is given some time to grow, he will definitely be a remarkable person in the future.
“If my daughter can be friends with him, it would also be a good choice.” Wang Bin thought to himself.
But this young man doesn’t seem to be interested in Shanshan…his daughter is not bad-looking.
Could Yang Jian be gay?
If Yang Jian knew his thoughts, he would definitely rebuke him for being prejudiced.
He’s almost dead, how can he have the mood to fall in love? He doesn’t even have time to have children.
Back to the mall.
Except for the security room, the other places in the mall were pitch black.When Yang Jian came back, another security guard, Liu Qiang, was playing games on his phone out of boredom.
“Why did it take you so long to come back? How long were you gone? You took leave as soon as you arrived? Luckily, I lied to Sister Li and said you went to the bathroom, or else you would have been scolded,” Liu Qiang said.
“Sorry to trouble you. A classmate had an urgent matter and needed my help, so I was delayed. It won’t happen again next time,” Yang Jian apologized.
“But you came just in time. It’s almost twelve o’clock. We should patrol now. If there’s nothing unusual, we can turn off the lights and go back to sleep. We have to work at 8:30 tomorrow,” Liu Qiang said, putting down his phone, stretching, and yawning.
Yang Jian admired Liu Qiang’s courage. He dared to patrol alone in such a large mall.
He wouldn’t have had the courage before.
“Our dormitory is upstairs. We’ll patrol from the underground parking lot. Remember to turn off the lights when we leave and go straight back to the dormitory to sleep, so we won’t have to come back again,” Liu Qiang said. “Remember to bring a flashlight.”
“Thanks for reminding me,” Yang Jian nodded, picked up the flashlight, and went to patrol with Liu Qiang.
Although he only planned to observe here for three days, he still had to do what needed to be done. He couldn’t be distracted.
Due to the lack of business, there were not many 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 asked, “Are they left by missing people?”
“No, those are the boss’s cars. He drives a different one every day. Who knows how many cars he has at home? Okay, there’s nothing unusual in the underground parking lot. Let’s go patrol on the next floor,” Liu Qiang said.
Yang Jian took another look, and there was nothing special in the underground parking lot.
If there was anything wrong, he would have noticed it at a glance.
They continued to patrol on the first floor.
After patrolling in the dark with flashlights for a circle and nothing happened, everything was normal except that it was a little darker.
They took the elevator to the second floor.
But just as he had patrolled for less than a circle, Yang Jian suddenly heard a slight rumbling sound coming from the mall.
“What’s that sound?”
Yang Jian picked up the flashlight and shone it upwards, but he didn’t see anything.
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 and the others forgot to turn it off when they went up. Each elevator has a separate switch, and it’s normal to forget. In the end, we’ll have to clean up after them,” Liu Qiang said.
“Is that so? Let’s go check it out,” Yang Jian said.
Liu Qiang said, “What’s the hurry? Take it easy. Let’s go to the third floor first, then the fourth floor. There are cameras here. If we’re caught slacking off, our pay will be deducted, especially you, the newcomer. If you’re caught slacking off, you’ll definitely be fired.”
“…” Yang Jian felt that Liu Qiang was a bit stubborn.
Well, take it slow. Anyway, there’s no one in the mall, and it has nothing to do with him if there’s a problem.The two strolled leisurely through the third floor, then circled around the fourth floor before finally arriving at the elevator on the fifth floor.
The elevator in the mall was not a lift, but a self-supporting one that operated on a conveyor belt.
“You see, I told you it was nothing. The elevator power was just forgotten to be turned off. Let’s go.” Liu Qiang walked over and turned off the power to the elevator.
Yang Jian didn’t say much, hoping it was just his own suspicion.
They followed the elevator to the fifth floor.
This time it wasn’t an illusion.
That faint smell of corpses came back.
It permeated the air and wouldn’t go away.
They didn’t smell it when they were on the third floor earlier.
“Something’s not right on the fifth floor…” Yang Jian followed Liu Qiang around the fifth floor with a flashlight.
There was nothing there except for the closed shops and some shelves.
Everything seemed peaceful.
But when Yang Jian passed by a clothing store, he shone his flashlight inside.
There were plastic mannequins, broken and incomplete, just like during the day, with no changes.
“Everything is normal. Let’s go back to sleep.” Liu Qiang yawned.
“Okay.”
Yang Jian withdrew his gaze, held his flashlight, and followed Liu Qiang out of the mall through the staff passage to go back to the staff dormitory.
On the way, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, the elevator on the fourth floor should have been running continuously if it wasn’t turned off. Why didn’t it run when we went there earlier?”
“That’s a sensor. It only moves when someone passes by. If there’s no one, it won’t move.” Liu Qiang said.
“Since it’s a sensor, then that means the elevator suddenly started moving because someone was using it just now. But there’s no one else in the mall except for us, so who could be using the elevator?” Yang Jian said.
Liu Qiang said, “Maybe it’s just a malfunction. If someone had seen it during the patrol earlier, they would have fixed it.”
Yang Jian frowned and wanted to go back to investigate, but he felt it wasn’t necessary. He’d wait until the boss came tomorrow to take a look.
Just as Yang Jian and Liu Qiang were about to sleep in the dormitory.
There was a slight rumbling sound in the mall again.
The hand-carry elevator started running again.
The elevator from the fifth floor to the fourth floor suddenly lit up, then slowly moved.
After about a minute, the elevator stopped.
But the elevator from the fourth floor to the third floor started running again.
Rumble…
But after a moment of operation, it stopped.
Then the elevator from the third floor to the second floor started running.
Finally.
After the elevator to the first floor ran for a moment, everything in the mall returned to calm.
