Chapter 41: The Reappearance of the Smell of Corpses
The next day, Yang Jian woke up very early.
Since becoming a ghost rider, he has more ghost eyes in his body, and he has gradually noticed some changes in his body.
The most obvious characteristic is that he finds that he is sleeping less and less, but he is not mentally tired.
"Have you only slept for six hours?"
Yang Jian washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror.
He was not haggard, on the contrary, he exuded a kind of indifference that no one else could enter, and even he felt a little strange.
He looked at the red paper on the back of his hand.
After the night, he did not feel the torment of the revival of the ghost eye, on the contrary, he slept peacefully.
But there was an inconspicuous crack on the red paper.
"Is this red paper a symptom but not a cure? Or is it just a fragment and incomplete?" Yang Jian retracted his gaze and couldn't help but rub his head.
"It seems that trying to solve my half-dead situation is not as easy as I imagined. ”
Also.
A global catastrophe with paranormal events happening all over the world.
All the people who have become ghost handlers have not found a way to survive, and how can they think of a way by themselves.
The red paper can suppress the revival of the ghost, but it is only by mistake.
"Wait, wait. ”
Yang Jian suddenly remembered the parchment.
He took the parchment he had with him from his pocket and opened it.
There is a line on the parchment:
I woke up early today and I gradually found that my body was starting to be affected by the ghost eye, and this effect was latent because I noticed that I was sleeping less and less in recent days...... If this continues, I guess I'll soon be able to go all day without sleeping.
I've heard that ghosts don't need to sleep, and that's probably true.
"When I got you from Fang Jing before, Fang Jing said that you know how the ghost handler survives, I don't think he lied to me, so you must have the key clues. ”
Yang Jian stared at the parchment: "If you are willing to tell me, I think I will re-examine your existence." ”
Writing came out on the parchment: I really want to live, and I gradually realized the pain of being a ghost handler, the oppression of death, the fear of the resurrection of ghosts, and the change of myself....... It's not something I'm supposed to bear at my age, and today I finally couldn't resist asking about that weird human skin again, but I didn't get the answer I wanted...... The human skin didn't tell me anything useful.
Or, there is some secret in this human skin, but he just refuses to say it.
What the hell is it hiding?
When Yang Jian saw the words on it, his face changed.
When he was at school, he once thought that the parchment had a consciousness of its own, but since leaving the school, the parchment has lost its role in guiding his direction.
In the old man's ghost realm that day, without the guidance of this parchment, he would not have been able to leave alive.
"Since you don't reveal any information about this thing to me, then you are useless, just burn it, lest I carry a human skin on my body all day long. ”
After Yang Jian finished washing, he took this ghost thing and threw it on the gas stove.
Ignited.
However, under the fire of the natural gas, this parchment did not move at all.
Fire can't destroy this thing at all.
"Yang Jian, what are you cooking, cooking noodles?"
Liu Qiang smelled the smell of natural gas and ran out of the room.
Yang Jian looked at the parchment that was still intact, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "I didn't burn anything, I just tried to see if this stove could be used." ”
"If I cook noodles, I still have ham sausage here. Liu Qiang said.
"I have it too. ”
"Sure enough, I should bury this thing somewhere no one else will ever find it. Yang Jian frowned slightly.
If you want to die, you must not leave such a strange thing.
Just as he was about to put the human parchment away first.
Suddenly, another line appeared: I can't get any more useful information from this parchment, and I plan to discard it and not let anyone else find it. But I thought that if I could catch a ghost with this parchment, I might be able to get the answer I wanted.
"Catch ghosts, I think you're trying to trick me into dying. ”
Yang Jian glanced at it, didn't believe the nonsense on it, just put it away, and planned to find a place to bury it in two days.
Two hours later.
The mall is open.
Although they are still closed, Yang Jian and Liu Qiang still have to work.
At half-past eight they began to patrol.
"By the way, yesterday's elevator was closed, right? Yang Jian stood on the escalator, and suddenly remembered that the two of them turned off the lights and turned off the elevator yesterday before going back to rest.
It stands to reason that the elevator can't be opened early in the morning.
"Sister Li has the key here, you see that the door of the mall has been opened, I heard that the boss may come back today, maybe Sister Li has made preparations in advance, what do you always care about this matter?" Liu Qiang wondered.
"It's nothing, just ask. Yang Jian said.
Today, all the lights in the mall have been turned on, which is a little different from the usual black lights.
After patrolling around, Yang Jian didn't find anything.
Everything works fine.
But it was this kind of normality that made Yang Jian a little uneasy.
If even he can't find the problem, then there can't be a supernatural event in this mall, but why would anyone be missing?
And Yang Jian always felt that something was wrong in the mall.
But I can't say it.
But it was around ten o'clock.
Several luxury cars were parked in front of the mall.
A group of people walked down the car.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a suit who was a little short.
"The boss is here, you be careful, the mall has been closed recently, and the boss is not very good-tempered. Liu Qiang reminded in a low voice.
This short middle-aged man's surname is Tang, his name is Tang An, he is the owner of this shopping mall, he used to do real estate, but in recent years, he changed his career and opened this shopping mall.
"Master Luo, this is my mall, please take a look, Master, what's wrong with my mall, someone has been missing at both ends in the last three days?" Master Luo is careful about the steps......
With a flattering smile on his face, Boss Tang led a man of about fifty years old with a shiny face.
Three or five people followed behind.
The man named Master Luo suddenly gestured and said, "You can't enter through the main entrance, enter through other doors, do you have any other doors in this mall?"
"Yes, yes, there is a delivery door. Boss Tang said busily.
"Then go into the mall from over there. Master Luo said.
Yang Jian at the door saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.
This is a charlatan.
Blind and exquisite, fooling people.
Everyone enters and exits through the main entrance, and so do the guests, but if you run into this so-called master, you should find out when you patrol yourself.
Unless this Master Luo is also a ghost master, and his ability is greater than himself.
But looking at his oily face and energetic appearance, it is obvious that he cannot be a ghost master.
"You watch here, don't let anyone else in, I'll call you later. ”
Sister Li hurriedly came over at this time, and after saying a word, she took a few female colleagues to greet the boss.
Master Luo entered the mall from the side door, led Boss Tang, the manager, Sister Li and a group of other people to walk around the mall, looked left and right, and then nodded and showed a look of understanding, as if he had completely figured out the strange things that happened in the mall, and he didn't understand what he had figured out.
I still have the script in mind.
Yang Jian was not interested, although he knew that this Master Luo was a charlatan, he didn't debunk it.
If there is really no supernatural event, this million can only be earned by this charlatan, and it will not be his turn anyway.
"Huh?"
However, at this time, Yang Jian's nose moved, and he smelled a faint smell of corpses.
"The smell came again, and this time it seemed to ..... It's close, because the flavor is a bit stronger than before. ”
He turned around and looked around, but the mall was still calm and nothing was happening.
