Li Yang, who was still in shock, still looked at Yang Jian in disbelief, a little confused, and seemed to be thinking about the meaning of the three words "Ghost Controller".
"Don't look at me like this, you will soon know what happened to you."
Yang Jian didn't waste any time to explain. He looked at the rotting corpse at the door of the room and roughly understood what was going on.
The ghost blocking the door is not this corpse, but a kind of evil ghost that possesses people. It is similar to a curse and has no entity. I suppressed this ghost just now, causing this corpse to lose its supernatural power.
The support completely fell apart and there was no way to move anymore.
So the ghost chose another person to possess him.
Li Yang, who was the closest, became the target of ghost possession.
Of course, this is just a conjecture. It is also possible that the last person to come out of the room will continue this curse and continue to exist instead of the ghost.
In short.
Being able to become a ghost controller is an accident of various supernatural events. Yang Jian himself has no way to explain this situation. He only knows that some ghosts can be controlled by living people, and some ghosts will die if a living person touches them. As for the limit
Where it is, it would be difficult for Wang Xiaoming to find out.
"I probably understand what you mean... I am now one with the ghost in the room, and I have become it?" Li Yang is quick to accept, after all, he has lived here for several months.
people.
Yang Jian was slightly surprised: "You understand it right, but you didn't become it, you were controlled by the ghost."
"But I don't feel controlled." Li Yang said.
Yang Jian said; "That's because this is just the beginning. It's like a person getting cancer. How can he die as soon as he gets it? It takes a while to brew. The same is true for ghost controllers. As time goes by, you
You will feel the presence of ghosts in your body more and more, and they will continue to erode you, and you will need to constantly fight against the ghosts, but in the end you will still become like this."
After speaking, he pointed to the rotting and falling body in front of him.
"This, how could this happen..." Li Yang became frightened.
Only then did he realize that the corpse in front of him might be the fate of the previous possessed man, and that he would become like this soon.
"Then how can I avoid this outcome?"
Immediately, Li Yang couldn't wait to ask again.
Yang Jian had already retracted his gaze at this moment. He was looking elsewhere, and then said casually: "It's inevitable. When you can't hold it anymore, you might consider controlling a second ghost and using another ghost to fight against your body.
This ghost inside can prolong the time it takes for the ghost to kill you."
"Control two ghosts? Wouldn't that make you die faster?" Li Yang felt horrified when he heard this method.
If a ghost possesses you, you already feel scared and uneasy. If another ghost comes, will you still be alive?
"It is true that you will die faster. Most people who want to control two ghosts have not had the opportunity."
Yang Jian said: "But you don't have to worry. At least you can have ghost abilities to a certain extent while you are still alive. You will also have some ability to protect yourself when encountering supernatural events in the future."
"Let me give your ghost a codename. How about calling it Ghost that blocks the door? You can also call it Ghost Blocker. You can choose one yourself."
"..." Li Yang was silent.
Then he remembered again, when Yang Jian introduced himself before, he said that his code name was: Ghost Eye.
He looked into Yang Jian's eyes seriously.
Li Yang found that this man's eyes were normal, just like ordinary people. The only difference was that his eyes were a little colder, as if he had no emotion, which made people feel very scared.
"Are you observing me? Or are you looking for the ghost in my body?" Yang Jian glanced at it: "Enough time has been wasted. Keep looking. This place is not big, and the ghost painting must be here."
Li Yang immediately withdrew his gaze, and then exchanged a few words with Jimmy next to him, telling him that the operation would continue, and that what Yang Jian wanted was not found in the room just now.
Jimmy almost rolled his eyes and fainted after hearing the news.
But at this point it's not up to them to make the decision.
There was no other way, the two of them could only continue to follow Yang Jian and start searching on the third floor.
"Unexpectedly, there is an additional ghost controller. With my ghost eyes restricted, it may be able to help at some point." Yang Jian thought to himself at this moment,
Although the time has been delayed a bit, there is one more potential helper, which is also good news.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to deal with any real dangers by himself.
"Including the guy in the room just now, at least six ghost masters have died on this small floor. In addition to the ghost blocking the door in the room and the ghost on the wooden stairs, there may be other ghosts here.
Not all ghosts may have left." Yang Jian analyzed the situation and was in a bad mood.
The situation here is more complicated than imagined.
The only good thing is that so far they haven't encountered a truly scary ghost.
soon.
The three people began to search on this floor, and Yang Jian led them into a room next to it.
The door of this room was locked, and there was nothing inside. Yang Jian searched very carefully, and even searched the side with a ghost carpet, but found nothing.
There is no abnormality in the third room
There is nothing unusual about the fourth room...
Except for the room where the ghost blocked the door just now, there seems to be no ghost wandering around in the other rooms.
Yang Jian was almost certain that the third floor was safe.
"Aren't the ghost paintings on the third floor?" Yang Jian returned to the middle of the corridor on the third floor again. He pondered and couldn't help but raise his eyes.
Maybe on the fourth floor.
The third and fourth floors are very close to each other, so it is very possible that the ghost paintings are hidden on the fourth floor.
"Should we continue searching?" After hesitating for a long time, Li Yang couldn't help but ask.
He is not Yang Jian. In this highly stressful environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to hold on. Jimmy next to him is no longer as active as before. If he continues, he will have mental problems.
"This is the mission of my trip. I will not leave until I complete the mission."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he looked at Li Yang again: "You have come to this point and you still want to back down? Don't be stupid. Even if you return to the place where you just hid, you can guarantee to leave alive?"
"It's just a matter of surviving for a few more days. If you want to leave, you have to come into contact with ghosts head-on. Even the exit I know is not necessarily safe. There is also huge danger."
"I understand." Although Li Yang didn't understand anything, he knew in his heart that Yang Jian's words were right.
If you want to survive, you can only find clues in the ghost and find the exit.
There is no point in just running away.
He has been running around in this world of ghost paintings for several months. In the end, it becomes more and more miserable, and there are fewer and fewer people around him who survive... He doesn't even know which day he will die here.
"Go to the fourth floor."
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, he had made such a dangerous decision.
Since the ghost painting is not on the third floor, the probability of it being on the fourth floor is very high.
He is already very close to the source, and he will not give up at this time.
"There is a ghost standing on the wooden stairs. Judging from the footsteps just now, the ghost is most likely on the stairs on the fourth floor. If I walk up the stairs, I will definitely encounter the ghost on the stairs. This is
It is unavoidable, but other places have been changed by ghost paintings, all roads are blocked, and only the stairs remain unchanged."
Yang Jian looked at the old wooden stairs.
The reason why the stairs are not affected by the ghost paintings is because there are ghosts on the stairs. Otherwise, the stairs would have disappeared now. Just like the room just now, as long as there are ghosts in the place, the influence of the ghost paintings can be reduced to some extent.
"You just stay here and keep an eye on the situation on the third floor for me. I'll go to the fourth floor and make sure there's no problem with the stairs before you come back."
Yang Jian did not let Li Yang and the man named Jimmy follow.
Letting them follow him at this time is tantamount to asking them to die, and Li Yang has just become a ghost controller, Yang Jian doesn't want him to revive and die immediately, lest he has to deal with the ghost in his body again.
The two of them had no opinion.
Yang Jian chose to explore the road alone.
There are not many steps leading to the fourth floor. It is a staircase where you can see the bottom.
The stairs are a bit steep and narrow, and the wooden stairs inevitably make a creaking sound as soon as you step on them.
Although the sound was not loud, it seemed particularly clear in this silent and oppressive dim environment.
"Crunch!"
Yang Jian just took a step, and there was an immediate response from upstairs. There was the sound of heavy footsteps that seemed to be going downstairs.
"The sound appeared again." Li Yang looked up and couldn't help but become nervous.
But Yang Jian walked without hesitation at all. The curse of the music box was still echoing in his mind, and he was not so timid when facing the ghost walking down the stairs, so he quickly started walking up the stairs again.
Step by step, although the pace is a bit slow, it is very decisive.
Soon, he had walked halfway up the steps, and by this time he could already look up and see the situation on the fourth floor.
The layout is the same as the third floor, the only difference is that there are not so many corpses on the ground, everything seems very normal.
However, the footsteps on the stairs were very close. He was sure that they were above his head, separated by a wooden step, and they should be less than five meters apart.
"The ghost is on the steps leading to the fifth floor from the fourth floor. It is now walking down. The position is similar to my current position. It has already passed half of the steps. As long as I continue to move forward, the ghost and I will be on the fourth floor.
We met in the corridor of the building."
Yang Jian made an estimate and he was already very sure of the ghost's true location.
"Since it can't be circumvented and is inevitable, let's confront this ghost head-on."
After thinking clearly, he acted faster.
Without any scruples, he quickly walked past the stairs to the fourth floor, and then stared at the stairway leading to the fifth floor.
The ghost is about to appear.
next moment.
Yang Jian clearly heard the sound of heavy footsteps next to him, and he had already walked down from the fifth floor. Logically speaking, his current location was on the fourth floor.
But nothing was seen.
No ghosts were seen, and nothing unusual was noticed.
But then.
General Yang felt dizzy for a moment, and his consciousness felt like he was about to disappear. He was unsteady and fell to the stairs, as if he had died suddenly.
He was attacked by a ghost.
After falling to the ground, Yang Jian felt an indescribable coldness lingering around him in a daze, as if there was a person walking back and forth around him, making the sound of heavy footsteps.
But the footsteps lingered around for a few times and then gradually disappeared, seeming to be moving away, or maybe Yang Jian was "dead" and no longer met the target of the attack.
As the footsteps gradually disappeared.
Yang Jian soon felt that his consciousness was recovering quickly, and the familiar ringtone of the music box in his mind brought back his lost consciousness again.
"I almost died again?"
When his consciousness came back to consciousness, Yang Jian felt a wave of fear.
This is the third time that he has been saved by the ringing curse of the music box. The first time was when he was attacked by ghost scissors, and the second time was when he was attacked by the sound of piano. This is the third time... As for that time, he was attacked by ghost scissors.
The weird hatchet made a cut, but that didn't count. It was an active test, which was different from the other times.
These three attacks were all strange fatal attacks. If Yang Jian did not have the curse of the music box, he would definitely be killed, and there would be no possibility of survival.
"Is the ghost wandering on the stairs really so scary? Once targeted, even I will be killed." Yang Jian struggled to stand up.
I'm used to this situation.
Of course, if he hadn't been cursed by the music box, he would never have taken such a risk and kept climbing up the stairs even though he knew there was a ghost on the stairs.
He was now on the fourth floor and no longer heard the strange footsteps.
Maybe he left. Or maybe he's still wandering around. It's just because Yang Jian is no longer the target of ghosts, so he doesn't continue to be attacked.
