The piled-up corpses covered the third floor of the Caesar Grand Hotel.
All the paths were submerged.
Yang Jian stood atop the corpses, his expression particularly grave, as the fierce ghost across from him had already set its sights on him.
This fierce ghost stood up once more from the countless corpses, appearing completely different from before. This time, it took the form of a lifeless, sparse-haired old man.
āItās impossible for this ghost to kill me in a short time, but if I keep confronting it for too long, Iāll definitely be at a disadvantage, soā¦..ā
Yang Jian gazed toward the only bright spot in the area.
It was the location of the furnace.
Even though affected by the ghost, the fire inside the furnace was still burning, though not enough to ignite the corpses.
āCannot waste time, need to act quickly.ā
Without another word, he briskly strode toward the furnace.
The ghost stood motionless not far away, its head turning slightly to follow Yang Jianās movements.
Yang Jian didnāt cease acting; he swiftly stepped over the corpses, approaching the furnace.
However, at that moment, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Looking down.
A long-dead female corpse was tightly gripping his ankle, preventing him from moving forward, and it was slowly sinking as if wanting to drag Yang Jian down with it.
The surrounding corpses surged, gradually drawing nearer to Yang Jian.
While sinking, countless corpses tried to reenact the previous scene to bury and engulf Yang Jian, making it impossible for him to break free again.
The Ghost Shadow under Yang Jianās feet struggled, breaking free from the female corpseās restraint and moving forward.
Yet, it wasnāt just the female corpse; all other corpses seemed to come alive as well. When he stepped forward again, he found nothing underfoot, lost his balance, and fell amid a dense pit of corpses.
This pit seemed bottomless, as if leading into hell, having no end.
Just as he was about to fall in, Yang Jian halted his steps.
He opened the Ghost Eye, spread the Ghost Domain, forcibly departing from this supernatural realm to enter his own Ghost Domain.
Even so, Yang Jian still didnāt feel relieved, since his Ghost Domain seemed to be interfered with, having a feeling of intermittent malfunction.
āIs it due to that ghostās existence?ā he coldly stared at the old corpse in the distance.
The old corpse was also staring at him.
Man and ghost watched each other.
Yet, the fierce ghost still hadnāt attacked Yang Jian, possibly due to attacking once before.
Hence, this was an opportunity for Yang Jian.
Even though his Ghost Domain was disturbed, it was still usable here.
Very soon.
He reached the furnace.
The furnace was covered with corpses, deeply buried within. To reach it, he had to move all those corpses away, otherwise, it was futile.
Yang Jian wasted no time, bent down, picked up a corpse at his feet, and lifted it up.
The Ghost Hand couldnāt suppress the ghost on the third floor, but suppressing a corpse with supernatural powers posed no problem.
The corpse didnāt resist and struggle, being directly tossed aside by him.
He quickly grabbed another corpse and tossed it aside as well.
Yang Jian was employing the most primitive method, removing corpses one by one, until the furnace was uncovered.
Maybe due to the furnace still burning, the surrounding corpses were peculiarly calm, showing no sign of surging.
As corpses were moved away, the light from the fire beneath them got brighter and brighter.
Yet this brightness carried no heat, instead filled with an indescribable chill.
āStill watching me?ā Yang Jian glanced over.
The eerie old corpse stood among countless others, facing his direction, seemingly watching Yang Jianās every move.
āNo, the corpse hasnāt moved for a while, maybe the ghost has left that corpse.ā
Yang Jian remained cautious, suspecting the real ghost had shifted to another corpse.
Maybe the corpse possessed by the fierce ghost was close by, perhaps just beneath his feet.
His scalp tingled slightly.
However, Yang Jian understood he had no advantage against this fierce ghost. Only by igniting the entire third floor with the furnaceās fire could he combat the supernatural here and clear all the corpses on the third floor.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
Yang Jian possessed great strength, making heavy corpses in his hands feel almost weightless.
If everything went smoothly, it would only take a few minutes to uncover the furnace beneath the corpses.
Meanwhile.
Buried under the corpses, Tong Qian didnāt look too well.
Heās temporarily fine.
The Ghost Faceās cries echoed, and the surrounding corpses surging toward him were blocked. Even if they got close, they lost their supernatural power and couldnāt completely bury him.
But Tong Qian was not supernatural; his body was that of a normal person, and under the pile of so many corpses, he couldnāt crawl out.
So, he is trapped now.
Li Yangās situation is similar to his, also trapped under the corpses, unable to break free in a short time.
As for the other side.
Xiang Lan and the others moved quickly.
They had already made it to the fourth floor of the Caesar Hotel, escaping from the corridor and the rooms.
āWe must find Yang Jian and stop him from sealing off the Caesar Hotel. This person is very dangerous, possessing extraordinary supernatural power. However, the dangers here are numerous too, so his actions may not go smoothly. This gives us time to act.ā
Ah Nan said.
He carried some previous memories, so he was no longer a newcomer who had just been resurrected.
āPreviously, because of Zhu Jianās presence, I had a conflict with Yang Jian. We followed Xiang Lan to retrieve memories, while his group headed to the third floor of the hotel,ā Dong Yulan said.
Wang Genquan said, āA very terrifying ghost roams on the third floor. That ghost has taken over an entire floor. To get down to the second floor, you can only use a supernatural elevator. If we use the stairs, weāre likely to be killed by the third-floor ghost. If Yang Jian still goes to the third floor under such circumstances, then thereās only one possibility.ā
āThe door leading outside the Caesar Hotel is hidden on the third floor,ā Zhu Jian said, his eyes narrowing.
Dong Yulan said, āThe analysis makes sense, I should have thought of this earlier. Before, Ah Nan went to the second and first floors before his resurrection, and we searched the fourth floor but found no exit. The only place we havenāt searched is the third floor. It seems our hope is hidden in the most dangerous place.ā
āSomeone deliberately placed the door on the most dangerous third floor. That person doesnāt want anyone to leave here, not even ghosts, so the third-floor ghost is the best gatekeeper,ā Xiang Lan said.
āSo we need to go to the third floor?ā Ah Nan looked at the elevator entrance.
By taking the elevator, they too could reach the third floor.
āThe third floor has ghosts, as well as Yang Jian and his group. Of course, there might also be the door to exit. Danger and hope coexist, so we must go, and we must go quickly. If Yang Jian finds the door on the third floor first, he will leave here first, then completely seal it from the outside. By then, it will be too late for everything,ā Zhu Jian said decisively.
āThis is the last hope for the five of us. If we fail, we will continue to die and be resurrected here endlessly.ā
āThen what are we waiting for?ā
Xiang Lan immediately walked towards the elevator, she pressed the elevator button, preparing to take this supernatural elevator to the third floor.
āLetās go,ā Zhu Jian also said immediately.
The five people showed no fear and boarded the elevator to the third floor with determination.
This supernatural elevator was very cooperative, arriving quickly without making them wait as long as Yang Jian did earlier.
āFound it.ā
At this moment, as corpses were being moved away, a furnace finally appeared in front of Yang Jian.
A corpse lay over the furnace, burned red but not ignited. Instead, it blocked the flames, preventing the firelight from affecting the surroundings.
When Yang Jian attempted to move the corpse, his hand hesitated halfway.
He stared at that charred corpse, his eyes flickering with thought.
āThis corpse lying on the furnace hasnāt ignited after being here so long, instead preventing the furnace from burning. This corpse canāt be the ghost of the third floor⦠canāt be, the ghost on the third floor had already attacked me before, itās unlikely to appear on the furnace again.ā
Yang Jian slightly looked up, cautiously glancing at the mysterious old corpse not far away.
The old corpse still stood there, facing him.
āNo choice.ā
Despite having doubts, Yang Jian had no choice but to act due to the circumstances.
He reached out, grabbing the burnt-red corpse and lifting it.
Upon contact, his face changed.
It was incredibly heavy.
The weight was absurd, feeling completely different from previous corpses.
Under the Ghost Handās suppression, supernatural power should be null, making the corpse light as a feather.
However, this corpse defied that norm.
The only explanation is⦠the Ghost Hand couldnāt suppress the supernatural power on this corpse.
Furthermore, as this corpse left the furnace, the redness on its body rapidly dissipated, replaced by an ashen gray, cold and unfeeling.
This feeling was exactly the same as when facing the third-floor ghost before.
āThis corpse is indeed a ghost,ā Yang Jianās face changed drastically.
In an instant, his suspicion was confirmed.
The corpse he held abruptly raised its head, facing Yang Jian, staring eerily at him.
This scene was eerily similar to the old corpse standing there not far away.
āPerhaps the third-floor ghost doesnāt exist in an individual form, maybe my Coffin Nail didnāt fail to nail it⦠ā
At this moment, an idea involuntarily emerged in Yang Jianās mind.
Because only this could explain why there were three corpses, three ghosts on the third floor.
In fact, even this āthreeā might not be accurate, the number might be beyond imagination.
