“Liu Qiang, haven’t you noticed that something is wrong with yourself?” Yang Jian asked seriously, staring at him.

Liu Qiang was also stunned when he saw everything in the surveillance video. He tried to recall, but there were some things he couldn’t remember. It was as if he had blank spots in his memory at certain moments. He seemed to have done nothing unusual while working, and there was nothing wrong if he didn’t pay attention.

“Yang Jian, are you saying that I am also like those people in the surveillance video, with my head swapped?” Liu Qiang looked at him in shock, his face full of disbelief.

“It seems that you don’t know your own situation. Let me ask you, where were you before you came to the monitoring room?” Yang Jian said.

“I was…” Liu Qiang wanted to answer, but then he was stunned.

How did he come to the monitoring room?

Did he come after the power outage? But which way did he take, who did he meet, and what did he see?

He couldn’t remember. Liu Qiang couldn’t remember, or rather, he didn’t have that part of his memory.

“You can look for your surveillance video. The mall’s surveillance video usually has night vision, so even if all the lights outside are off, you should be able to see clearly,” Yang Jian said.

“I’ll look for it…” Liu Qiang immediately searched for his surveillance video.

Soon, he found it.

The time went back to when Master Luo was doing the ritual.

Everyone in the mall was watching Master Luo’s ritual in the lobby on the first floor.

Then, because Yang Jian found it funny, he couldn’t help but interrupt Master Luo’s ritual, and they exchanged a few words.

But the Liu Qiang in the surveillance footage seemed to have ignored this and left directly.

No one noticed the departure of a security guard.

“How did I go to the power room at that time?” Liu Qiang was shocked when he saw himself in the surveillance video.

After Liu Qiang went to the power room in the video, the mall had a power outage soon after.

It turned out that Liu Qiang cut off the power himself.

“You don’t remember, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t do it. Keep watching,” Yang Jian said.

After the lights in the entire mall were turned off, Liu Qiang stood still like a wooden man, motionless. But this situation didn’t last long.

He moved again soon.

He turned and walked towards the toilet on the first floor of the mall.

When Yang Jian saw this, everything that had happened before matched up. The ghost that had just entered the toilet was Liu Qiang.

“It’s impossible, why can’t I remember doing this?” Liu Qiang stood up suddenly, looking at Yang Jian with a frightened expression on his face.

Yang Jian took a step back and said seriously, “Because at the time you lost your memory, you were no longer human, but a…ghost, or you were replaced by a ghost. The only reason why you can still keep your memory is that your head is still intact and hasn’t decayed yet. In a few days, when your head decays, your memory will disappear completely.”

“So strictly speaking, you have been dead for several days now. Touch your neck. The wound where your head was swapped should still be there. If you are not a ghost, you would never have that wound.”

Liu Qiang subconsciously touched his neck.

His palm passed over the skin on his neck, and the small wound immediately turned over, revealing the crimson flesh inside, and a stench emanated from it.

He was already decaying…”It’s impossible, I don’t believe it. I know I’m still alive,” Liu Qiang said, his emotions rising as he touched the wound on his neck to confirm Yang Jian’s words.

But he had been dead for days, his wound was not tight, and as he touched it, it grew larger and his flesh fell off.

The stench of the corpse grew stronger.

“What can I do? I don’t want to die. Yang Jian, can you help me?” Liu Qiang was completely panicked, covered in blood and emitting a foul odor, his head already displaced and looking at Yang Jian in a very awkward position.

Yang Jian saw fear, pleading, and despair in his eyes…

“Sorry, I have no way to help you,” he said seriously. “All I can do is remind you to call your family and say a few words. That’s all you can do.”

Trembling, Liu Qiang took out his phone from his pocket, tears streaming down his face, and prepared to call his family.

But as he lowered his head, his head, which had already been moved, could no longer support itself on his neck…

“Bang~!”

A dull thud sounded as Liu Qiang’s head fell to the ground, rolling several times on the floor before hitting the wall and stopping.

The headless body immediately stiffened, and the phone in his hand had not been dialed.

Looking at Liu Qiang’s head, which was closed-eyed and pale, Yang Jian sighed.

Another person killed by a fierce ghost.

Taking his gaze away, he looked at Jiang Yan, who was trembling against the wall.

Yang Jian walked over and grabbed her delicate face roughly, pressing her head against the wall, then ran his finger over her neck.

“You’re not a ghost?” Yang Jian was a little surprised.

His finger slid over her neck, but he did not touch the wound.

Jiang Yan was afraid and angry. “Do you really suspect me of being a ghost?”

“I have to suspect everyone. You’re also a staff member of the mall. Who knows if your head has been switched? Anyone who has had their head switched is a ghost, and the person involved may not even know about it,” Yang Jian released Jiang Yan.

“What do we do now? There are those things outside. How do we leave here?” Jiang Yan was not angry about this, but was afraid that Yang Jian would be angry. She took his hand and looked pitiful.

“I’ll take the people in the mall out, and we can leave once we get the keys from Li Jie. But before we leave, you have to stay here and go through these videos for me, find out the true identity of this ghost, and hopefully find the source of it,” Yang Jian said.

“But I don’t want to stay here. I want to follow you,” Jiang Yan said, her voice trembling.

Yang Jian shook his head. “No, I need you to watch the surveillance. Otherwise, how will I know when a ghost is approaching? And how can I confirm the final identity of that ghost? I don’t have time to waste here. It’s almost dark, and we won’t be able to see anything in this mall at night, which will be even more disadvantageous for us.”

“But, but Liu Qiang is here. I’m scared,” Jiang Yan said, crying.

Ignoring her, Yang Jian took a phone from Liu Qiang’s corpse and dialed his own satellite positioning phone.”The phone line is open, inform me immediately if there’s anything, and remember, never turn your back to anyone. The head-swapping ghost can only take someone’s head from behind. As long as you face the ghost, and the direction of your head is not right, the ghost won’t attack you.”

After finishing his words, he handed the phone to Jiang Yan.

“I…I’m still very scared,” Jiang Yan said.

“Forget about how you agreed with me on the first floor earlier? If you don’t listen, you won’t be able to leave alive. You’re a smart person, and when you know what to do, as long as you have a little more courage, this won’t be a problem for you. Alright, enough talking, let’s get started.”

Yang Jian left the monitoring room without another word.

“Hey…” Jiang Yan wanted to stop him.

But the door slammed shut.

Jiang Yan wanted to follow, but immediately stopped her footsteps.

Because it was even more dangerous outside, and only this little security guard had the courage to wander around in a mall full of ghosts.

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and walked towards the monitoring station, tightly holding Liu Qiang’s phone in her hand.

As for Liu Qiang’s headless body and the head leaning against the wall, she didn’t dare to look at them more than once.

“Hey, can you hear me?”

Yang Jian walked in the mall and spoke into the satellite phone.

“I can hear you, I’m here and I’ve already seen you,” Jiang Yan’s nervous voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Good, pay attention to any movement around me and inform me immediately.”

Yang Jian hung the walkie-talkie-like phone on his chest and headed towards the place where Tang Boss and his group had the accident.

Among that group of people was Li Jie…and she was a ghost.

“I hope the one million won’t go down the drain.”

Yang Jian thought to himself, “But as long as Jiang Yan cooperates well this time, I can earn this money without using the power of the ghost eye.”

Just as he began to move, figures started to slowly emerge from various hidden corners and closed shops in the mall, which had been eerily quiet until now.

They all looked different, with pale faces and closed eyes, moving somewhat stiffly.

Jiang Yan, who saw this scene in the monitoring room, was suddenly frightened.

And those who were closer had already appeared not far from Yang Jian.

“Those…things have appeared…” Jiang Yan’s voice trembled as she reminded him.

“I know, just report the location of the ghosts near me, don’t worry about the others, and don’t forget my previous reminder.” Yang Jian’s tone was very calm, which made Jiang Yan suddenly feel a lot more composed.
