The huge mall was eerily quiet.

Not a single sound could be heard, only the sound of Yang Jian’s footsteps as he walked.

The outside sky should have already reached dusk, and the sun shone through the glass windows, bringing a bit of brightness to this dim mall.

But this brightness wouldn’t last long.

Once it got dark.

With the mall’s lights turned off, it would be pitch black.

“Sss… to the left, there’s someone to your left.” Accompanied by the sound of electricity, Jiang Yan’s nervous voice came from the satellite positioning phone on Yang Jian’s chest.

A middle-aged man with a pale face and a stench emanating from his body stood motionless on the left side of the corridor, with his eyes closed, like a puppet.

Yang Jian strode forward, glanced to his left, and his gaze flickered. “I see him.”

He sidestepped and walked past the middle-aged man.

But the middle-aged man didn’t move, even when Yang Jian walked past him.

“You’re amazing, your deduction was correct, and the ghost didn’t attack you.” Jiang Yan couldn’t help but get excited as she watched the scene in the control room.

But Yang Jian wasn’t so happy. “No, I suspect that these are not real ghosts. They should only be controlled by ghosts. The real ghosts must be hidden somewhere, or on someone. Don’t waste time. The surveillance video in the control room can be saved for fifteen days. I previously learned about the situation in this mall, and it happened about ten days ago, from the incident to the closure for repairs.”

“As long as you look carefully, you can find the source.”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Jiang Yan replied, gradually gaining confidence and less fear.

“Behind you, there’s someone in that shop.” Suddenly, she hurriedly reminded him.

Yang Jian immediately turned around.

Behind the glass door of a shop, a young and beautiful girl was standing there, who knows when. This girl’s skin was dark, indicating that she had been dead for several days, longer than Wei Xiaohong’s fake death. She had already begun to severely decay, and as she moved slightly, her once black and shiny hair fell down like a rustling sound.

The smell of putrid water dripped from her nose and eyes.

But with just such a corpse, she raised her hand as if she was going to reach through the glass door and grab Yang Jian.

“Is there someone inside the door?” Yang Jian’s expression changed, and he quickly turned around.

He walked backwards, sideways.Don’t avoid them by turning your back, or you’ll be attacked in no time. If you choose to run away because of fear, you will definitely die miserably.

After understanding the rules, Yang Jian felt that the ghosts were not difficult to deal with.

“Zhou Zheng’s three sentences are really concise. As long as you can understand the rules of how ghosts kill people as soon as possible, even ordinary people can get out of here.” Yang Jian thought to himself.

Of course, this only applies to ghosts of this level.

When it rises to the level of the ghost baby, it will kill indiscriminately, and the rules cannot guarantee that you will survive 100%. It can only increase your chances of survival to a large extent.

After avoiding two ghosts that were getting close to him, Yang Jian accelerated again.

Because he could hear the footsteps getting closer around him, and the eerie sound of the elevator operating.

Yang Jian knew that no matter which direction he faced, there would be ghosts appearing. It was just that the ghost behind him was far away, and it would take some time to get closer.

If he dragged on for too long, once he was surrounded… it would be a dead end.

Of course, Yang Jian dared to be so bold because of his ability as a ghost controller. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not dare to play like this.

“The storage room is on the left in front. But you have to hurry up. There are more ghosts getting closer to you from behind, and I also saw ghosts constantly coming up from the elevator.” Jiang Yan became nervous again.

“I know.” Yang Jian glanced at her.

Sure enough, the elevator on the fourth floor was operating, and he vaguely saw two people standing on the elevator heading to the fifth floor.

Moreover, the sound of the elevators on the third and second floors was still ringing.

Yang Jian saw several blurry figures walking around in several places downstairs.

“How many people have disappeared in this mall?” Yang Jian’s heart trembled.

Just roughly estimated, at least more than 20 people, and the number of people is still increasing, constantly appearing from various corners and floors of the mall… The smell of corpses in the air became more and more intense.

“The place where this ghost appears is really picky. It chose such a crowded mall. Under normal business conditions, the mall would not even notice if a dozen people disappeared in a few days. If it were in other places with less traffic, it would be impossible for ghosts to have so many opportunities to kill so many people.”

“Now those who have died have become my trouble.”

With caution, he ran towards the storage room.At this moment, outside the storage room, a man with a lifeless and pale face stood stiffly there. Although his head looked like that of a man in his thirties, his body was that of a woman’s, wearing a long dress and a pair of coffee-colored high heels.

Obviously, he had been body-swapped.

The man numbly knocked on the door, each knock sounding like a heavy hammer strike, almost breaking the door. Yet, his arms were already bloody and fleshless, with large chunks of skin falling off, even revealing bones, presenting a strange and broken posture.

After all, the human body was not as strong as a door.

But all of this did not stop his determination to break in.

However, the people hiding in the storage room were scared, with cold sweat and trembling bodies, as they saw the door shaking and about to open.

“It’s coming again! Yan Li, you have to think of a way. That thing is still outside, it hasn’t left…” Manager Li said in fear.

“Five million, I’ll give you five million. Just take me out of here, and I’ll give it to you,” Boss Tang didn’t dare to be stingy anymore, and quickly shouted out the price.

Although money was important, their lives were more important.

At this moment, Yan Li’s face was particularly ugly. He looked at his hands, which were soaked in blood, and the blood was still oozing out of his gloves, unable to be collected back.

“I can’t use this ability anymore, or I’ll die faster,” he took a deep breath.

The blood on the door had already stopped flowing out, because his hand was no longer pressing on it.

“Bang, bang, bang~!”

The door made a loud noise again, and the door frame shook, and the dust around them fell from the top.

The force was getting stronger…

While they were huddled in fear, in an inconspicuous corner, Sister Li, who had never screamed or said a word, slowly stood up. She closed her eyes, her face devoid of blood, and her body turned in a strange posture, facing the group of people who had their backs to her, and slowly stretched out her hands.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside. Something fell to the ground and broke with a bang.

Yang Jian’s voice sounded outside, “Hey, are you guys still alive in there? If you’re not dead, open the door. I have a way to take you out of here.”

“What? There’s still someone outside,” Yan Li was the most shocked at this moment.He couldn’t believe the sounds outside. There were so many ghosts in the mall, there couldn’t be any living person left. Even if there was, they should have already died.

“It’s… it’s that little security guard’s voice. Hurry, open the door and see, ask him if he really has a way to leave here.” Boss Tang remembered Yang Jian’s voice and recognized it immediately.

“Don’t… don’t open the door. Who knows if the one talking outside is a human or a ghost.” Manager Li was terrified.

This reminder made Yan Li shudder and immediately become serious.

Yes, there was no evidence that the little security guard outside was human.

What if this was a trap?

Yang Jian had finally managed to throw the person from the storage room door down to the fifth floor. Although they wouldn’t die from the fall, it would take them some time to come back up. But hearing what the people in the storage room were saying, his face darkened. “By the way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come out. I watched the surveillance footage earlier and found out that the lady among you is also a ghost. I don’t know if she has started to act yet. If she does, you will all die in there. So please make a decision quickly.”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, everyone in the storage room was suddenly covered in cold sweat.

What? The lady was a ghost?

Almost instinctively, everyone turned around to look.

But the next moment, they saw that the lady behind them had stood up at some point, and… she didn’t have a head.

“Ah~!”

Several screams rang out from the storage room.

Yang Jian couldn’t help but cover his ears.

That was loud. It’s a pity they didn’t sing high notes.

The next moment, the door to the storage room was slammed open.

A group of people ran out like they were being chased, crying and sniffling, some even wetting their pants.

“Hurry, hurry and soak them.”

“Help, I don’t want to die.”

Yang Jian reminded them, “It’s okay to scream a few times, but don’t run around. There are more ghosts outside, and if you run too fast, you’ll die faster.”

Boss Tang, Manager Li, and Master Luo ran a few steps before collapsing in fear.

At some point, the fifth floor corridor had been filled with people.

From all directions, almost every direction had someone.

These people were all missing persons from the mall.

Today, they had all appeared.
