Because Master Luo was performing a ritual, the entire mall was closed, and even the emergency exits were not spared.

Yang Jian wondered how this young man named Yan Li appeared in the mall since he did not see him during his patrol.

Did he come here earlier?

Was he the person Yang Jian sensed in the mall these past few days?

Yang Jian observed Yan Li and thought about many things.

But… how could he explain the already decaying corpse? He did not see it during his patrol either.

Moreover, the cut on the neck of the corpse was clean and even. Only a milling cutter used in a factory could make such a wound, but strangely, there was no blood flowing out of the corpse.

Boss Tang, Manager Li, and Master Luo and their group looked at Yan Li walking towards them as if nothing was wrong with a hint of fear.

Is he a murderer? A lunatic? Or a monster?

Many thoughts came to their minds at once.

Yan Li reached out his hand towards Boss Tang, but the latter took a few steps back and did not shake his hand. He asked with fear, “Who are you? What do you want?”

“I’m here to discuss business with you, Boss Tang. I don’t know if you’re interested?” Yan Li withdrew his hand and smiled.

“What business?”

“If I’m not mistaken, there is a ghost hidden in your mall. All the missing people were killed by that ghost. And at this moment, that ghost is still lurking somewhere in the mall, watching us. I can help you solve this problem, but in return, I want five million.” Yan Li said sternly.

Boss Tang understood that this person was here to extort him.

He had already invited a master, so what use was this person of unknown origin?

Before he could speak, Master Luo sneered, “Young man, which sect are you from? Do you know the rules? And you look like you’re in your early twenties. Do you understand feng shui and divination? You’re probably just a half-baked practitioner. I will solve Boss Tang’s problem today. If you’re smart, you’ll leave now.”

“Otherwise, I’ll have the security guards throw you out.”

Yan Li also mocked, “You’re just a swindler in the martial world. You still believe in feng shui? It’s okay to deceive those who suddenly became rich, but now your feng shui is useless because there really is a ghost here. Do you think your peach wood sword and useless talisman will work if the ghost comes out? Even if you invite the Buddha from the temple, it won’t be of any use.”

“And I warn you, you’d better be careful with your tone, or I’ll dig out your heart and shove it into your mouth.”Previously, he had a smile on his face, but suddenly his expression changed to one of ferocity and indifference. He grabbed Master Luo and lifted him up with an unexpectedly great strength.

His sinister tone left no doubt that he could do what he said.

Master Luo broke out in a cold sweat and his eyes showed panic. He couldn’t help but feel afraid of the man in front of him.

This man was like the most vicious murderer in prison, cold-blooded and cruel.

No, even the most vicious murderer couldn’t be as sinister and terrifying as him.

“This man is definitely a Ghost Tamer.” Yang Jian saw his terrifying expression and knew that he, too, had been tormented by the ghost inside him.

When a person has a ghost inside them, they will be constantly influenced by the malevolent spirit.

This change happens silently and gradually.

Yang Jian had already sensed this change.

“Security, security, quickly subdue this man and make him release Master Luo.” Manager Li’s face changed and he urged the security guards to act.

Liu Qiang hesitated for a moment, then walked over with a stiff expression.

“What’s wrong with you, security guard? Why aren’t you helping? Do you still want your job? Come over here now!” Manager Li pointed at him and shouted angrily.

“I was fired by you earlier. I am no longer a security guard in this mall. I will return this uniform later, which means I am no longer under your jurisdiction. You deal with this on your own.” Yang Jian said calmly.

“Don’t point your finger and curse at me. Although you are the mall manager, if you provoke me, I won’t hesitate to beat you up.”

“Damn it.” Manager Li’s face turned green with anger.

Are all security guards this tough now? He fired him earlier and now he’s standing up to him.

Boss Tang said, “Young man, I am the owner of this mall. If you are willing to help, you are still an employee of the company. I will give you a raise later. What do you think?”

“I think this job is a bit dangerous. It’s better to find another job.” Yang Jian said indifferently. “I appreciate your kindness, boss.”

Boss Tang felt a little disappointed. He didn’t blame Yang Jian, but looked at Manager Li strangely.

This manager was a fool. He fired two young and strong security guards when the mall was short of staff. Now they refused to help because of his arrogance. He was good at cursing people, but where was he now when he needed to step up?”Call the police quickly,” the boss Tang whispered with restraint.

The lady behind him quickly realized the situation and immediately picked up her phone to call the police.

“Sir, calm down…” Liu Qiang walked over, trying not to provoke the strange young man. After all, he was just an employee and it wasn’t worth risking his life.

“I am very calm. If I weren’t, you would already be dead…” Yan Li’s mouth curled into a cold smile. He slowly released the pale-faced Master Luo, then pushed him forcefully to the ground.

“Boss, the police have been called,” the lady whispered.

Tang nodded. “Don’t act recklessly. Keep this person under control first.”

Looking at the corpse emitting a putrid smell, Yan Li was likely the murderer, and he probably caused the previous disappearance case in the mall.

“Boss Tang, I think we can continue our previous conversation. Five million, I’ll help you catch the ghost and let your mall operate normally. How does that sound?” Yan Li said.

“Your price is too high,” Tang’s face became serious.

“Compared to the things in your mall, my price is quite reasonable,” Yan Li grinned.

“If you lower it, I can consider it,” Tang was buying time. He believed Yan Li was the murderer and had already called the police, waiting for them to arrive.

Yang Jian watched Yan Li and Tang bargaining and shook his head secretly. Yan Li was too impulsive. Although supernatural events were common around the world, most people still didn’t believe in them. Asking for five million upfront was too much for anyone to agree to. Only when Boss Tang truly saw the ghost and knew how terrifying it was would he be willing to negotiate.

After his previous deal with Wang Bin, Yang Jian had some experience, but just as the atmosphere became heavy…

Suddenly, the sound of the lights turning off echoed throughout the mall. The entire place was plunged into darkness.

A power outage?

Everyone was stunned.

“That’s not right,” Yan Li’s face suddenly changed. He looked up to the fifth floor of the mall.

In the dim environment, a figure was vaguely standing next to the glass railing of the fifth floor, seeming to be looking this way. And that figure…seemed to have no head.

“Finally appeared?” Yan Li’s eyes showed a hint of madness.

Without hesitation, he ignored everyone else and immediately ran up the elevator to the fifth floor.”Hmm?” Yang Jian squinted his eyes and also noticed the figure on the fifth floor, but then he frowned.

Because the stench of the corpse was on the first floor.

Is the ghost upstairs or downstairs?

“Ah~!” Suddenly, an employee screamed, pointing in a certain direction on the first floor.

This female employee was Wei Xiaohong, a cashier in her mid-twenties.

“What happened? It’s just a power outage, don’t make a fuss.” Manager Li scolded, “While the killer is gone, hurry up and open the door and leave. The police will come to solve this.”

“No, no, that…the body that person just dropped…it’s gone.” Wei Xiaohong trembled, pointing to where the body was lying just now.

Looking over, there was nothing there.

The body really disappeared.

Everyone saw this scene, their eyes shrank, and they felt chills all over.

But the stench of the corpse in the air still lingered, and it seemed to be getting stronger.
