Chapter 54 – Slide out of the mall


At this moment, a strange scene appeared in the shopping mall.

A group of successful adults were lying on the ground, pushing themselves forward with their feet like a caterpillar, occasionally showing a different kind of joy on their faces.

“It really works. Those ghosts don’t seem to see us. They’re just standing there.” Boss Tang said excitedly.

They had slid from the fifth floor to the fourth floor and passed through the most dangerous area. If everything went smoothly, they would soon be able to leave here.

“Manager Li, why are you sliding so fast? You’re already on the third floor?” Boss Tang looked at him in surprise.

Manager Li kept sliding backwards and said, “I wasn’t used to it before, but now that I’m used to it, I think I can slide faster. Boss, is it because your movements aren’t standard enough? Look at my movements. They’re smooth and effortless, right?”

“Wait for me, don’t leave me behind.” Master Luo said anxiously.

His slightly obese body made his movements sluggish, and he was at the back.

Yang Jian followed behind, seeing them all sliding down from the fifth floor like caterpillars, couldn’t help but laugh.

At this moment, no one dared to say that he was laughing too much, because without Yang Jian’s method, they wouldn’t have been able to escape so smoothly.

Although this escape action was somewhat embarrassing for adults.

“Hey, Jiang Yan, how’s it going over there?” Yang Jian said into the walkie-talkie.

“I, I’m okay here. I’ve already found the previous surveillance video and can soon find the true location of that ghost… It seems like the ghost first appeared on the fifth floor, and the first victim was on the fifth floor too.” Jiang Yan’s voice sounded nervous. “Why did you all leave? Don’t leave me here alone, okay?”

“I’m sending these pig teammates to leave first, and I’ll come back to pick you up. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t run around, nothing will happen. Keep in touch. If there’s any danger, call me immediately.” Yang Jian said.

“Okay, okay.” Jiang Yan was afraid that Yang Jian would leave her behind.

After hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, it was evening. Several police cars were parked at the entrance of the shopping mall, and a cordon had been set up, marking the warning line.

The entire area was blocked off.

“What’s the situation in the mall?” Liu Jianming, the police captain in charge of the case, looked tired and frowned at the closed and out-of-business mall.A police officer said, “Captain Liu, we received a report earlier that there’s a murderer here, suspected to be related to the previous missing persons case in the mall. However, according to the nearby shop owner, about an hour ago, the mall owner Tang An invited a feng shui master to come here and block the entire mall for a ritual… We still don’t know the situation inside.”

Liu Jianming said, “If it’s really the murderer, then that’s good. Prepare to break the lock and rescue the trapped personnel.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Immediately, the outside police officers started to act, using tools to forcibly open the lock of the mall’s door.

In no time, the lock of the mall was destroyed.

The door opened quickly.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of decay rushed out, and people who were close almost vomited.

Liu’s face changed slightly.

He has dealt with various criminal cases for years and has seen many corpses. He could smell it as soon as he smelled it. It was… the smell of a corpse.

“Everyone be careful and don’t go in yet.”

Liu had a vague feeling that the missing persons case in the mall was definitely not that simple. It was just that they couldn’t find any evidence during the previous investigation, so they could only temporarily close the mall.

However, not long after…

The people outside the mall were stunned.

They saw a man in a suit lying on the ground inside the dimly lit mall at the moment, with an excited look on his face, sliding towards the door like a caterpillar.

What kind of operation is this?

No, there is more than one person lying on the ground and sliding like this.

Behind them were the mall owner Tang An, the feng shui master Luo, and several surviving mall employees. They were like a relay race, one after another, sliding down from the mall upstairs, each person’s legs kicking with extra force, and their movements were like they had been trained, neat and organized.

“Don’t get too close. Wait for them to leave the mall safely before rescuing them. Be careful of any sudden situations.” Liu said.

When Manager Li saw that the mall door was opened and there were already police officers outside, he felt like he had seen a savior and was so excited that he almost cried. His sliding movements became faster, and normal people couldn’t catch up with him even when walking.

Finally, he managed to survive and come out of this terrible mall.

“This is great, I’m not dead, I’m alive.” Manager Li felt that he had never been so excited and happy in his life.

“Liu, what’s going on?” Someone was dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Liu’s face was complicated. “I’m not sure. Let’s ask for more information first.”

“Don’t… don’t pull me up. I can still slide. I want to slide a little further before getting up.” Manager Li refused to stand up and insisted on sliding to the outside of the police cordon before standing up.Watching these people escape smoothly, Yang Jian’s mission was completed.

He had earned this money smoothly.

“Yang Jian, now that the mall incident is resolved, with your abilities, if we work together, we will definitely have a high success rate in catching that ghost. Should we cooperate?” Yan Li immediately stood up after Yang Jian walked out and said.

Cooperate to catch a ghost?

Yang Jian said, “Isn’t it good to be alive? Why catch ghosts?”

“My main purpose in coming here is to catch a ghost. I estimate that the ghost in this mall is at most a restricted-level existence and not very terrifying. If we can successfully catch it… it’s very valuable.” Yan Li said, “But my abilities are limited. With your help, we have a great chance.”

“What’s in it for me?” Yang Jian asked.

Yan Li whispered, “The underground market. A captured ghost is worth at least one billion. Major companies, conglomerates, and even government departments of various countries will secretly purchase them. If the level is high, the price will increase. We, ghost tamers, cannot live long. You know this. If we can do this business successfully, even if we die, we will have enough money to leave for our families.”

Yang Jian shook his head and said, “Money can’t be earned endlessly. I don’t need to risk catching a ghost for that one billion. Besides, I’ve earned enough today, and it’s enough for my family.”

“And if we really want to catch a ghost, we inevitably have to use the power of fierce ghosts. You know what that means. And I think you’ve used the power of fierce ghosts enough today. If you use it again… I’m afraid that ghost will run away.” Yan Li said, “My situation is clear, and completing this task is not a problem. Don’t you want to know how ghost tamers can survive? Are you willing to do nothing and wait for death?”

Survival method?

This hit Yang Jian’s heart.

“Catching a ghost can not only exchange for money but also valuable information. In fact, the method of ghost tamers’ survival has already been studied, and someone in Dachang City has succeeded… and has been alive for more than half a year without incident. During this period, the power of fierce ghosts has been used more than once, and it seems that they have found a way to revive evil ghosts.” Yan Li hesitated for a moment and revealed this information.

Without revealing this, there was probably no way to convince Yang Jian.

“Really?” Yang Jian’s heart was moved, and he was indeed tempted.

He remembered the words on the human skin.

The method of taming evil ghosts will be announced in three months.

But the chance of him surviving for three months was not high in his current situation.

So he had to learn how to tame evil ghosts in advance, and he couldn’t wait for three months, not even for one month.Yang Jian didn’t dare to gamble his life on the future changes.

Who knows what the future holds, and that skin’s words are not worth believing.

“You seriously think about it. Make a decision as soon as possible while that ghost is still in this mall without any changes. Once that ghost leaves the mall, it will be difficult to find such a ghost that has figured out its rules and is not too terrifying.” Yan Li said.

“Give me a minute to think.”

Yang Jian didn’t agree or refuse, he needed to weigh his options.

But just as he was thinking, Manager Li came over with several policemen.

“It’s this little security guard, he extorted and blackmailed me in the mall before. I have transfer records on my phone, and there is evidence on them…” Manager Li angrily pointed at Yang Jian and reported the incident.

Accusing Yang Jian of extortion and blackmail.

“Young man, we need your cooperation in investigating a case.” A police officer said in a business-like manner.

“Hmm?” Yang Jian turned his head to look at Manager Li.

You little caterpillar, do you want to cause trouble?
