The sound of crowds of people came from nearby, and the sound of dense footsteps came from all directions. The first floor of this large shopping mall was already filled with countless people, and people kept crowding in from outside.
After every corner of the first floor was filled with people, the remaining people rushed to the second floor.
Enter the second floor from the elevator entrance, from the safety passage, or from anywhere.
There are no dead ends.
There are people everywhere.
soon.
The second floor was crowded and could no longer accommodate any more people, but the remaining people headed to the third floor again, as if their operations would not stop until a certain purpose was accomplished.
The real ghost is controlling them.
The purpose may be to kill the two living people who accidentally came here.
Yang Jian and Li Yang.
Rentou Supermarket seems to be very important to Li Gui, otherwise such large-scale anomalies would not have occurred. When we were in the hotel before, we only suffered some blasting attacks and car accidents, and most of the abnormal people were not involved.
But now.
It is estimated that all the weird people in this area have been mobilized.
It can be said that there is no need to even pretend to maintain the operation of the city, Yang Jian and Li Yang need to be killed.
if they die.
Then these horrific things in Dachuan City will be buried again, and no one knows that such horrific anomalies have occurred in this place.
Yang Jian and Li Yang are on the fifth floor.
He was not doing anything at the moment, just waiting for the countless people surging downstairs to appear.
To deal with the ghosts, you must confront the evil ghosts head-on. In most cases, you are not allowed to take advantage of the situation.
"Those people went upstairs." Li Yang took a deep breath at this moment. He felt his whole body trembling, and his mind recalled the scenes of surviving in the ghost painting world.
But ghost paintings are not reality after all and can be regarded as a nightmare.
But now, it is really happening before our eyes.
A large-scale supernatural phenomenon occurred in a normal city.
Yang Jian said nothing. He was thinking, thinking about how to deal with this evil ghost next, and imagining how this evil ghost would attack the two of them.
If the ghost here is really the head of a headless ghost, then it stands to reason that it should have some characteristics of a ghost.
No.
You can't think like this either.
After the ghosts were split, maybe their abilities were also split.
The headless ghost only has some weird abilities, and some important abilities are incomplete and were taken away by the ghost head.
That part may belong to unknown territory.
"This ghost must be treated as a brand new supernatural event and cannot be confused with the headless ghost incident." Yang Jian changed his thinking and adjusted his mentality.
now.
A large number of people have already poured into this floor.
There were a lot of people, densely packed together, forming a crowd, approaching from all exits. Everyone was silent and looked slightly dull. They thought they were alive, but they were like stiff corpses, looking a little weird.
.
The cold atmosphere around him was accompanied by a strong rancid smell.
Yang Jian's face was expressionless, and his slightly red eyes glanced at these people. There was no fear in his heart, only a trace of apprehension.
The seemingly dense crowd actually does not pose much of a threat to the ghost master.
The real threat is a ghost hidden among these countless people.
That might be a real evil ghost.
"Captain, do you want to take action?"
Facing the crowds of people, Li Yang lost his composure. He looked very anxious and looked at Yang Jian, hoping to immediately stop these people coming from the front.
"Need not."
Yang Jian was very calm: "Just treat them as dolls. Don't be confused by these people. The danger is not with these people, but among them. Pay attention to the real ghost. As long as you find it and solve it, all of these people will be gone."
It’s going to end.”
Li Yangan endured the uneasiness in his heart.
The two of them allowed these strange people to swarm into the warehouse on the fifth floor without stopping them or taking any other action.
soon.
These strange people have already come to Yang Jian and Li Yang.
Just within one meter.
Almost all have been posted.
From such a close distance, Yang Jian could even see the traces of decay on the body in front of him and feel the cold aura coming from his body.
Li Yang was also surrounded by several people.
He broke into a cold sweat nervously and wanted to take action, but he held back.
Because Yang Jian didn't take action, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
These living dead-like things are standing close to you like this. Even if they don't do anything to you, you still feel creepy, because the real terrifying danger is hidden inside.
Maybe the ghost is standing behind you, maybe the ghost is standing in front of you.
In short, it must be mixed among these living dead.
Stopped?
When the space on the fifth floor was filled, and when the two people were surrounded by these weird people, the flow of people stopped at this moment.
Everything became calm again.
Everyone stood still.
No one took action against them.
Although Yang Jian and Li Yang are surrounded, they are still safe so far.
The expected attack never came.
"This, this is what happened?" Li Yang was a little unable to understand the current situation.
Yang Jian frowned and glanced around.
The dark crowd of people now stands in place, just like the plastic mannequins in the clothing store when I first encountered the headless ghost.
There is a certain commonality in this phenomenon.
But the pattern of attacks is not.
Because the headless ghost attacks those who turn their backs to him, but now, Yang Jian is surrounded by people, and there are naturally people behind him, but no one attacks him from behind.
If there is no attack, it means that the ghost is most likely still dormant.
"If I can use my ghost eyes, I can directly bring the ghosts into the ghost domain and investigate them one by one. I will definitely find the source very quickly. Now I am too restricted."
Yang Jian thought to himself.
There are too few supernatural powers that he can use, and he is shackled everywhere.
But no matter how passive I am, I am still much stronger than before.
"Yang Jian, Yang Jian."
Suddenly, a voice broke the eerie tranquility. A voice floated from the dense crowd, and someone called Yang Jian's name.
The sound appeared downstairs, not nearby.
But every time Yang Jian's name was called, the voice got closer.
In addition, the sound was erratic, sometimes in front and sometimes behind.
Unable to determine location.
In a dark environment.
Something strange happened to the living people standing motionless on the spot.
"Yang Jian!" A strange woman in the crowd said dullly and called out the name.
But the next moment.
A few meters away on the left, a man in his fifties opened his mouth and shouted a second time: "Yang Jian!"
The fourth sound was shouted by a young man in front: "Yang Jian!"
The sound spread among this strange crowd,
Various different tones echoed around.
Countless voices, countless tones, ups and downs one after another, all shouted Yang Jian's name.
This feeling.
It was almost like a ghost was shuttled among the crowd, moving in an incomprehensible way.
Every corpse may be the carrier of evil spirits.
Everyone who has been corrupted by evil spirits can be manipulated.
These people are in a very special state. They are not completely dead, but they are not considered alive either. They have residual living consciousness, but they have become neither human nor ghosts due to the erosion of evil spirits.
"Are you here for me?"
Yang Jian stood there, turned around and looked in all directions.
It was impossible to locate the source of the sound in the dense crowd.
"No need to shout, I'm right here." Yang Jian responded to the voice without any fear on his face.
"I'm here." The voice came to the second floor, revealing a kind of numbness and weirdness.
"I am coming......"
New voices emerged one after another among the crowd.
Getting closer.
After reaching this floor from downstairs, he quickly moved towards Yang Jian and Li Yang, as if they might appear next to them.
Li Yang was sweating nervously. He wiped the sweat and felt a huge pressure and sense of crisis.
This is the evil spirit that turned Okawa City into such a terrifying place.
If you're not careful, you will really fall here.
"I am coming."
Sudden.
This voice was very close, right in the crowd to the left of Yang Jian, less than two meters away.
Yang Jian could even see who was speaking.
He wanted to take action, but the next moment, the voice drifted away again, appearing four or five meters away, and he could not lock it immediately.
"Are you playing hide and seek with me?"
Yang Jian's eyes moved: "This ghost has corrupted so many living people and stolen the memories of so many living people. It has already behaved in a certain way as living people. It is impossible to understand this ghost's behavior in a normal way."
"But if you want to deal with it, you have to let the ghost appear on its own initiative."
He spoke again: "Who are you?"
The voice actually started to answer: "I am Li Leping, I am Li Leping, Yang Jian, don't you recognize me? I met you at the headquarters."
"You're not Li Leping, who are you?" Yang Jian frowned.
"I am Zhang Jiaxing, and I am an employee of your company." The voice came to the other side again, and it was a stranger who answered.
Yang Jian's expression changed: "Who are you?"
"Woo woo, I'm your daughter, mom, mom, where are you?" The voice appeared again in another place. The speaker was a man, but the tone was that of a girl.
"This ghost can be anyone." Li Yang tensed up and was ready to take action.
Yang Jian nodded calmly and changed the question: "What do you want to do?"
The strange voice in the dense crowd stopped for a moment, and then continued to answer: "I want to kill you."
"I want to kill you."
The sound continued to dance among the crowd.
Sometimes this person replies, sometimes that person says something.
The evil ghost is still moving.
"Asking new questions, there will be a pause time of about one or two seconds..." Yang Jian's eyes flashed: "This is an opportunity, as long as you seize it, you can lock the ghost."
The next moment, a rusty nail appeared in his hand.
Coffin nails.
About two seconds is enough time. Even without the assistance of Ghost Domain, as long as the opportunity is found correctly, there is still a chance that he can be imprisoned.
"I want to kill you..."
Different voices shuttled among the crowd, continuing to answer the question just now, like a mechanical repeater.
Yang Jian once again asked a new question: "Why do you want to kill me?"
A pause occurred.
One second, two seconds, three seconds later, a new voice echoed in the dark crowd.
"My body is rotten."
"My body is rotten..."
New answers continue to appear among the crowd, and the people who answer Yang Jian are changing their identities.
"My body is rotten."
Suddenly.
A strange man standing behind Yang Jian opened his mouth and said this sentence stiffly.
This sound echoed in my ears.
There wasn't even a gap in between, and you could even bump into that weird person if you took a step back.
Yang Jian's hair stood on end and he turned around almost subconsciously.
The coffin nail in his hand was driven directly into the man's body like a dagger.
moment.
The suppression of the coffin nails appeared and the supernatural power dissipated.
The strange man's body went limp in an instant, and he fell directly to the ground. The head on his neck also lost support, and he fell to the ground and rolled into the crowd.
"Failed?"
Yang Jian looked at the other weird people nearby.
Those people did not arrive.
This means that the nail in the coffin is not really limited to the source. If it succeeds, others will fall with it.
"My body is rotten..."
Sure enough, a new voice appeared deep in the crowd.
The attack just now failed.
"Why did your body rot?" Yang Jian took a deep breath and continued to ask questions.
The sound paused again for two seconds, and then appeared in the third second, far to the right.
"This is not my body."
"This is not my body..."
Repeated words continued to appear, wandering among the crowd as before, and their location could not be determined.
Yang Jian waited for the opportunity, he wanted to ask new questions at the moment when the ghost was close to him.
Then take action when the ghost pauses for three seconds.
This is the safest method.
As long as he seizes that opportunity, Yang Jian can imprison the ghost even without using supernatural powers.
With coffin nails in hand, the possibilities are endless.
This is where Yang Jian's confidence lies in his confrontation.
But it doesn't seem like the ghost intends to hang around here forever.
The exception occurred again.
The lights on the fifth floor suddenly turned on at this moment. Just like the situation on the first floor before, someone turned on the lights on this floor.
Under the light.
The countless strange people standing there can be seen more and more clearly under the light.
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, and he noticed that none of the people standing there had any shadow, which was exactly the same as what he had observed before.
"Why do ghosts turn on the lights? This behavior is definitely not without reason. Under normal circumstances, a dark environment is more conducive for ghosts to kill people."
"Unless...turning on the lights has something to do with the way the ghost attacks."
He looked down slightly.
One detail caught his attention.
These people who have been corrupted by ghosts have no shadows, but he and Li Yang do.
Yang Jian's shadow is a headless shadow. That shadow does not belong to him, but to the headless ghost. Li Yang's shadow is normal.
The lights appear not to illuminate Yang Jian and Li Yang, but to illuminate the shadows of living people.
Ghost attacks are related to shadows.
The ghost who had just made a fool of himself just kept wandering around, not because the ghost didn't want to attack Yang Jian and Li Yang, but because the two of them had no shadows and lacked a medium to attack.
Now the shadow appears, and the killing pattern consistent with the ghost is formed.
"Li Yang, be careful of your shadow. Ghost attacks are likely to be related to shadows." Yang Jian immediately reminded him.
shadow?
Li Yang on the side looked down.
His shadow was reflected on the ground, like a dwarf.
Because the light shines from above, the shadow is not very long.
However, he glanced out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly I saw a black shadow flashing across the ground nearby.
It's like a person is running by quickly, and it seems to be a bit incomplete, not complete.
"I saw other shadows nearby." Li Yang said.
"That might be the real ghost." Yang Jian said solemnly.
But the words are not finished yet.
A corpse standing in front of Yang Jian suddenly spoke: "This is not my body."
"Where is your body?" Yang Jian suddenly raised his head and looked at the body.
The opportunity has come.
He took this opportunity to ask a question.
really.
The corpse in front of him who suddenly opened his mouth to speak paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
nearby.
He saw a dark shadow shaking.
There was no time to distinguish other things, because this opportunity was very short, only about two seconds.
The coffin nail in Yang Jian's hand immediately stabbed the unresponsive corpse in front of him.
Fast and precise.
It stabbed directly into the man's chest.
After all, it was this kind of opportunity that suddenly approached.
Yang Jian has to bear the risk of being attacked by ghosts, and the ghosts have to bear the risk of being nailed to death by the coffin nails in his hands.
"Did it succeed?"
Yang Jian looked at the living dead in front of him with his mouth slightly open and a dull expression, and he was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
The process went so smoothly that he was a little unsure.
But the next moment.
But the person on the left moved, and a creepy voice came into his ears, answering the question just now: "My body is you."
Almost at the same time as the sound sounded.
The man put his hand on Yang Jian's shoulder. When the lights gathered, there was a terrifying and weird shadow at the man's feet.
This shadow is incomplete.
It turned out to be a human head with outlines of facial features.
Shadow head?
And this shadow head is quickly approaching the headless shadow behind Yang Jian.
seem.
This shadow head was separated from it, and now it will be brought together to form a complete ghost.
Yang Jian's headless ghost was distorted and elongated under some influence.
The shadow head under the man's feet is also twisted and elongated.
The neck seems to be connected together.
Everything changed so fast, it almost happened at the same time as Yang Jian took action.
"Captain, be careful."
At this critical moment, Li Yang's screams came from the side.
Then a huge pulling force suddenly appeared.
The elongated and twisted shadow was suddenly separated and moved in the direction of Li Yang.
This movement is uncontrolled.
It was forcibly interfered with by some supernatural force.
At this moment.
Li Yang's clothes were torn open by something. On the skin of his chest, inside a door formed by wound lines, the outline of a fierce ghost struggling emerged. Although it was not clear enough, it could still be identified that it was
Silhouette of a female.
Under the skin, a fierce ghost is affecting the surroundings with supernatural power.
This is the evil spirit controlled by Li Yang in the post office.
A living person can be pulled into the door.
If it is possible for living people, then it must be possible for ghosts.
The shadow of the head twisted and swayed, getting closer and closer to Li Yang, as if it was about to be taken away by the ghost in his body.
"Bata!"
However, the next moment, the lights on this floor suddenly went out.
The surroundings fell into darkness again.
At the same time, the previously motionless crowd began to surge.
The people standing around began to crowd towards Li Yang, as if they were going to swallow him whole.
He took action to stop Li Gui, which seemed to anger Li Gui.
Or maybe the evil spirit feels threatened by his presence, so he wants to stop his behavior.
"damn it."
Li Yang panicked and quickly suppressed the evil spirit in his body, not daring to continue using his supernatural power.
Because he was disturbed.
The people coming in became his first target. He felt that a corpse lying on top of him was about to be pulled into his body by a supernatural force. The person he had locked on took advantage of this movement and escaped from control.
It is impossible for Li Yang to use Li Gui's ability to kill a ghost slave, that would be too wasteful.
And there's more than one person here.
"My body is you..."
Among the dim crowd, a voice came again, answering Yang Jian's question.
But this voice is getting farther and farther away.
"My body is you."
After the third voice appeared, it was already more than ten meters away from the two people.
The fourth voice appeared at the entrance of the corridor.
It seems like the ghost is leaving.
"Did you fail?" Yang Jian felt the crowd around him, and his face looked a little ugly.
He seized the opportunity, found a way, and even had close contact with the evil ghost.
But it still failed.
The lights are off now.
The shadow is no longer visible, the ghost will not attack him, and similarly, he cannot distinguish the location of the ghost.
This confrontation does not seem to have achieved results.
The ghost attack also failed.
The crowd continued to surge, squeezing Yang Jian and Li Yang. Driven by the crowd, the two began to gradually separate and move away.
It seems that the ghost is organizing a second wave of attacks to separate the two and then defeat them one by one.
"Although what happened just now was short-lived, my feeling was correct. My headless ghost seemed to be out of control, as if it was out of my control."
"And the ghost seems to be just a shadow, a shadow of a human head."
"That's right, this is the head of the headless ghost."
Yang Jian's eyes flashed: "This ghost head seems to be able to erode the consciousness of living people. If Li Yang is attacked by this ghost head, then he may be controlled by the evil ghost and become a ghost slave."
"It is very terrifying for a ghost master to become a ghost slave."
"We can't give Li Gui this chance."
Next time you turn on the light, the evil ghost will definitely attack Li Yang, or himself.
No one can afford this risk.
This is not a type of ghost that kills people, but a ghost that directly controls living people.
The stronger the ghost controller you control, the more terrifying the ghost will be.
"Li Yang, let's get out of here."
Yang Jian shouted and chose to retreat temporarily.
This place is not conducive to the two of us.
He used the ghost hand's ability without hesitation.
Stiff and cold palms appeared among the crowd nearby.
Ghost hands can also be derived from countless palms.
Although one suppression quota is used to suppress the ghost eye, the ghost hand's own ability is still there.
Not strong enough.
But it's enough to deal with these ghost slaves.
immediately.
The sound of necks being broken was heard one after another.
The crowd began to collapse quickly.
Because the heads on their necks left their bodies and fell down due to the influence of ghost hands.
There are no heads left.
It is impossible to move the body.
Because the headless ghost is in charge of the body, the two ghosts have not completed the puzzle now. The ghost slave controlled by the ghost can only move his head, but not his body.
If two ghosts become complete ghost shadows.
So even if it is missing a head, limbs, or limbs, the corpse will still have the ability to move.
This is a very scary thing.
There are vacancies where there are crowds of people.
Li Yang was able to take a breath.
Seizing this opportunity, Yang Jian gathered with him to avoid being carried further by the surging crowd.
After confirming the route, Yang Jian did not return along the original route, but planned to go up to the roof along the safe passage.
Because if you go downstairs, your shadow may appear on the road, and ghosts will find an opportunity to attack.
"Walk."
Li Yang was grabbed by Yang Jian from among the collapsed corpses, and then left quickly.
The two of them left smoothly.
Because these corpses look scary, but they don't pose much of a threat.
Ordinary people can deal with it if they are braver and more ruthless.
They evacuated this floor.
But soon, other people on the fifth floor began to move, picking up the heads on the ground and straightening the headless bodies.
Those who fell returned to their previous appearance again.
The crowds are surging.
Follow Yang Jian and Li Yang to the roof.
The confrontation between ghosts and humans seems to have no intention of stopping here.
No.
It should be said that the confrontation between ghosts and humans has already begun since entering this city, but in different ways.
"Close the door, the group of people downstairs can't get in."
Yang Jian came to the rooftop and asked Li Yang to close the door while he went to see if there was any other way up to the rooftop.
And when he came to the rooftop, he looked down and was stunned.
downstairs.
The area near the large shopping mall was actually densely packed with people, completely surrounding the area.
Vehicles coming from all directions also blocked the road, and they blocked the road all the way to the end.
Everyone outside stood motionless.
"Do you want to trap us here?"
"However, at this scale, Li Leping was not unjust at all. It is indeed very difficult to reverse an out-of-control situation."
Yang Jian can imagine.
There are traces of the invasion of evil spirits in every corner of the city, and they were not discovered at first. By the time they became aware of it, everyone around them became their enemies.
At that time, even the top ghost masters will feel despair.
And because Li Leping is the person in charge of Dachuan City, it is impossible to leave this place alone.
He and the ghost must have been fighting for a while.
But now it seems that this confrontation seems to have failed.
People also disappeared, and the city was handed over to evil spirits.
"How can you deliver a letter under such circumstances? It's no longer as simple as just delivering a letter." Yang Jian thought to himself.
"Captain, this situation is difficult to deal with. Leave, I can open the door and evacuate here." Li Yang was silent for a moment, and when he saw a dense group of people standing downstairs, he thought of evacuating.
Yang Jian said calmly: "Since there is a way out and you can leave at any time, why do you find it difficult to deal with it? Contact the headquarters and tell them about the situation here. Ask Cao Yanhua how much he can afford to ask me to deal with this place.
The damn thing.”
He didn't think about leaving, but planned to stay and deal with this supernatural incident.
He has the conditions for success in his hands.
"In addition, let Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen come over. Now we need their help." Yang Jian said.
He roughly figured out the source and situation of the evil ghost, and could ask his teammates to come over and help.
Li Yang then thought that if he couldn't handle it with two people, then adding two more people might make the situation different.
Suddenly, I felt a lot more relaxed and started to connect immediately.
However, at this moment Yang Jian's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
An unknown caller appeared on the screen.
"Is there anyone else calling me at this time?"
Yang Jian's expression moved slightly.
His mobile phone number is protected and cannot receive spam calls or messages. The calls that can come in must have been selected.
After thinking for a moment, he answered the phone.
"Yang Jian? It's me, Li Leping." A low, lonely voice came from the phone.
