Mysterious Revival

Chapter 604: Chapter 601 The Sealed Area

Yang Jian had indeed left.

But he did not return to Dachang City. Although he wanted to, there were more important matters at hand.

Fang Shiming was right; killing him was going to be difficult, especially when both parties knew almost everything about each other.

So, Fang Shiming fled, choosing not to keep fighting with Yang Jian, because he realized Yang Jian was in a special state. If they continued, he was certain to lose, and this keen awareness was extraordinary. If he hadn’t been so clear-headed, Yang Jian might have succeeded long ago.

Unable to kill Fang Shiming and unable to hold him, Yang Jian thought of his last resort.

A supernatural event once occurred in the city under Tong Qian’s responsibility.

Yang Jian once entered the Caesar Hotel with Xiong Wenwen, Lin Luomei, and Luo Su Yi. A vengeful ghost wandered inside the hotel. They almost got trapped there, unable to escape because the ghost’s killing method was very unusual; it didn’t need to see or touch people, it could kill just by stepping on their footprints.

Of course, that wasn’t the purpose of Yang Jian’s trip. His aim was for a certain item.

The ghost seemed to possess a strange supernatural object, an old, rusted knife.

“If I could obtain that supernatural object, maybe I could have the ghost’s ability to kill by stepping on footprints… But I can’t be sure whether the ghost and that object are one entity, or if they exist separately.”

Yang Jian didn’t rest.

The curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box echoed in his mind like a death knell. Although the curse could last for a few days, there was no guarantee.

After all, there was very little data gathered, and the duration of the curse was unstable. Some people might survive for three days, others for five, but there was also a chance that the unlucky ones would only last a day.

Even headquarters couldn’t fully understand it.

“We’re here.”

Yang Jian used Ghost Domain to travel instantly, arriving at his destination in less than a minute.

Caesar Hotel!

This was a locally famous hotel, but due to the supernatural event, it, and the surrounding area, remained sealed off. No one dared to set foot here. Even at night, there were patrols to prevent the daring and skeptical from sneaking in for an adventure and accidentally releasing the ghost.

Yang Jian took a moment to observe.

The hotel had undergone some changes since he had been there last. The walls, windows, and even some of the ventilation ducts had been completely sealed with cement, leaving no gaps. There were also many infrared alarms nearby; they would be triggered by the living as well as the dead.

Clearly, Tong Qian had upgraded the protection after Yang Jian had left.

“The ghost in the hotel doesn’t have Ghost Domain, and with the hotel being completely sealed, the corpse couldn’t have left on its own. So, it’s very likely that it’s still inside, and with my current state, I should be able to completely imprison the ghost here.”

Yang Jian remained cautious, because there were still mysteries in the hotel he did not understand, so he only tentatively covered the first floor with the Ghost Domain.

After confirming the absence of the ghost on the first floor, he extended the Ghost Domain to the second floor.

Immediately.

No trace of the ghost was found on the second floor either; everything was arranged just as it had been before, no different whatsoever.

The Ghost Domain covered the third floor.

At this moment, Yang Jian’s brow furrowed, a hint of puzzlement arising.

In one of the third floor’s private rooms, he actually discovered a corpse.

Immediately.

Yang Jian went to that private room on the third floor.

He wasn’t mistaken; indeed, there was a corpse curled up in the corner, already dead, emanating a foul stench.

“This is not a body left over from the last paranormal event, but one that died later, death time… not more than fifteen days, and not killed by the ghost either, the corpse shows no clear signs of being severed,” Yang Jian made a rough assessment of the body’s condition.

Yang Jian was certain that everything inside was real, not an illusion created by the Ghost Domain.

“Find that ghost quickly.” He did not hesitate and for the second time stepped into the somewhat familiar passageway.
