Chapter 45 – Jiang Yan


“First, put yourself in a safe place. Let’s take care of the ghost slowly. As long as I don’t use the power of the fierce ghost inside my body, I won’t lose anything. Besides, that person named Yan Li is also very special. I want to know what special qualities this ghost tamer has and if there is anything worth learning from him.”

Yang Jian watched the group of people fleeing, his expression unchanged.

If he had used the Ghost Domain just now, he could have taken these people out of here in an instant.

But that would be a self-destructive behavior with no benefit.

Yang Jian wouldn’t do such a thing.

If he were to take action, he would only do so when these people were at their most desperate and fearful.

To obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum cost.

After all, things that come too easily are not cherished by people, so he didn’t even bother to negotiate a price just now.

He wanted to let this Tang boss experience it first before speaking up.

In addition, there was Yan Li who was stealing business.

If this ghost was difficult to deal with, Yang Jian didn’t mind slipping away and letting Yan Li deal with the ghost since he had come for the ghost in the first place.

This was not something worth fighting over. Using the power of the fierce ghost too much would only make him die faster.

After thinking it over, Yang Jian took his flashlight and walked to the restroom as if nothing had happened.

Just as he was urinating with his flashlight in his mouth, the light shone on a corner of the restroom. He suddenly saw a foot sticking out from the last cubicle. The foot was wearing black stockings and was slender and delicate, indicating that it belonged to a woman.

“How could there be a woman’s foot in the men’s restroom? Is it a pervert or another corpse?” Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then cautiously approached and opened the door to take a look.

There was a woman curled up inside the cubicle, wearing a white shirt and a short skirt. She was probably a staff member from the mall. However, the woman’s face was pale, her eyes closed, and he didn’t know if she was dead or not.

He reached out to check her breathing.

She was still breathing and not dead.

Yang Jian was immediately surprised. If this woman was a corpse, he wouldn’t be surprised, but she was alive.

He had seen all the staff members in the mall during the past two days of work. Although he didn’t know all of them, he was familiar with some of them. However, he was sure that he had not seen this woman in the past two days.

Because… this woman was quite pretty.

The female staff members in the mall were not very attractive and not worth remembering.

“Wake up, miss. Wake up.” Yang Jian pushed her.

After a while, the beauty gradually woke up, but when she opened her eyes and saw Yang Jian, she suddenly widened her eyes and showed a look of fear. She immediately shrank back as if she had seen a ghost and wanted to scream, but Yang Jian covered her mouth first.

“Miss, don’t scream. If you attract the ghost, it will be you who will die.” Yang Jian hurriedly covered her mouth.

Women were really troublesome.Slipped away, slipped away.

After seeing that she had regained some calm, Yang Jian was ready to leave and find another place to stay.

“Wait, wait.”

However, this woman quickly grabbed Yang Jian’s hand and lifted her head with a bit of fear and unease, “You are human, right?”

“Of course I’m human, otherwise why would I be standing here talking to you?” Yang Jian said. “Are you an employee of the mall?”

“I’m the accountant of the mall, my name is Jiang Yan. Who are you, how did you come here, and why are you dressed like this?” The woman named Jiang Yan tightly held onto Yang Jian’s hand and asked.

Yang Jian chuckled a bit and said, “I’m a new security guard. I came here to use the bathroom. Why are you, a woman, hiding in the men’s bathroom? Just now, when your foot stretched out, it scared me. I thought you were a dead person.”

“Th-there are ghosts outside, I dare not go out. I’ve been hiding here for four days, and besides eating a pack of biscuits, I’ve only been drinking tap water. Now I’m starving. Do you have anything to eat?” Jiang Yan said weakly.

It turned out that she was feeling unwell due to hunger.

“Wait here, let me see if I can find something to eat.” Yang Jian patted his pocket and said, “Uh, I don’t have any food with me, but there’s food outside. Why don’t we go out and eat something?”

“But…there are ghosts outside.” Jiang Yan’s face showed fear.

“If you know there are ghosts outside, then that means you’ve seen that ghost?” Yang Jian finally realized and asked hastily, “What does that ghost look like and where is it?”

If Jiang Yan had really seen that ghost, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Ghosts that can be found and confirmed are not so terrifying. At least they can be guarded against.

The most frightening thing is the ghost that cannot be found.

Jiang Yan nodded.

“Then tell me quickly. There are ghosts causing trouble outside now. Tang Boss has invited a master to come here. If this matter is not resolved soon, my one million yuan will be wasted.” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan hesitated and said, “I’ll tell you if you give me something to eat. I’m starving to death.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so demanding.” Yang Jian looked at her strangely and said, “But seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll go get you something to eat.”

He immediately left the bathroom.

At this moment, there was no one on the first floor of the mall, but there was movement coming from upstairs. It seemed that Tang Boss and his men had not left the mall.

Yang Jian went to a closed snack shop and got some biscuits, snacks, and water, then returned to the bathroom.

Seeing the food, Jiang Yan’s eyes lit up, and she tore open the packaging and started eating like a starving wolf.

In no time, the food was gone.

“Is there anything else?” Jiang Yan looked at Yang Jian with anticipation.

“I’m sorry, there’s nothing else. Do you want a piece of ham?” Yang Jian asked.

“Where is it? Give it to me quickly.” Jiang Yan said urgently.

“Where did I put it?” Yang Jian looked down and said.

Jiang Yan showed a bit of a seductive look, “If you can take me out of this haunted place, I wouldn’t mind…”Yang Jian’s eyelids twitched as he looked at her. He was about to say, “You’re thinking too much. Even if you don’t mind, I do.”

But the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.

Although Jiang Yan looked a little haggard, she was indeed quite pretty, a seven-point beauty. Although she was not tall, she had the charm of a mature woman with a slender waist, ample buttocks, and a bulging chest that did not seem to shrink even after not eating for so many days. He really didn’t know how she managed to maintain her figure…

Wait a minute.

What was he looking at?

Yang Jian came back to his senses and secretly exclaimed, “Terrifying. So terrifying. Women are truly frightening. I almost fell into an endless abyss.”

“Forget about that for now. You said you saw that ghost before? Can you tell me what it looked like now, or what kind of existence it is?” Jiang Yan seemed to recall a terrifying memory and her face changed slightly, tinged with fear.

“It was four days ago. I was working in the mall as usual when I happened to meet a female cashier named Wei Xiaohong when I went to the bathroom. I was about to leave the bathroom when I saw her outside… She was shaking her head in front of the mirror at first, and I thought it was strange. When I was about to ask her, I suddenly saw her take her own head off.”

“Yes, that’s right, just like a puppet. She lifted her head up with both hands and took it off… I was scared stiff at the time and only ran out of the bathroom after she put her head back on.”

Jiang Yan gestured with her hand, her emotions somewhat agitated.

“But as soon as I came out of the bathroom, Wei Xiaohong turned around and looked at me. I was so scared that I accidentally ran into the men’s room and hid here. I’ve been hiding here ever since. I thought about running out, but every time I saw Wei Xiaohong sitting nearby, waiting for me outside the bathroom… I’m sure she’ll kill me if I go out. I heard that ghosts don’t dare to enter the men’s room, so I’ll be safe here.”

“Wei Xiaohong?” Yang Jian immediately said, “It’s impossible. She can’t be a ghost.”

“I’m not lying to you. It was really her. I saw it with my own eyes.” Jiang Yan said, “You have to believe me.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I believe my own eyes more, because Wei Xiaohong is already dead.” Yang Jian said seriously.

The head that rolled over in the mall earlier belonged to Wei Xiaohong.

If she was a ghost, how could she have lost her head?

Do ghosts have suicidal tendencies?

“It’s true. She really took her head off. I saw it clearly.” Jiang Yan said.

“Shh, someone’s coming.” Suddenly, Yang Jian covered her mouth and turned off the flashlight.

Footsteps approached the bathroom in the darkness.

The footsteps were neither slow nor fast, neither urgent nor sluggish, just like a normal person walking.

Something was wrong.

Yang Jian’s expression changed.

Because there was no one left on the first floor of the mall, and even if someone was outside in the dark, their footsteps could not be so calm.Could it be Wei Xiaohong?

He thought of the head left in the mall, with a dead gray face and a strong smell of decay.

If Wei Xiaohong is really a ghost, it seems not impossible.
