Caesar Grand Hotel, third floor.
The furnace gradually reignited, the surrounding darkness dissipating, that strange furnace fire glowing more brilliantly like a bright light.
The ghost was resurrecting, the temperature around the furnace rising.
The supernatural was being ignited.
At this mont, Yang Jian could already see the corpse near the furnace turning bright red, as if sparks were rising, ready to catch fire at any mont.
A few minutes of waiting was enough for the furnace to burn again.
"In at most three minutes, the surrounding corpses will ignite, and by then the flas will continue to spread, burning all the corpses to ashes," Yang Jian estimated the changes in his mind.
For now, everything was going smoothly.
Although ti was delayed, during this period no danger was encountered in the surroundings, just waiting, and he was still very patient.
However, luck wouldn't last forever.
At this mont, the originally brightening firelight suddenly dimd rapidly, and strangely enough, even though the fire in the furnace was burning increasingly fiercely, the surrounding light grew darker, as if so special presence was absorbing all the light.
This change imdiately gave an ominous feeling.
"The ghost on the third floor is probably nearby, I feel it's over there, and very close to us,"
Tong Qian whispered, pointing a finger beside him.
The place he pointed to was a wall made of piled-up corpses, and according to his perception, the ghost on the third floor was behind this wall, if the wall was pushed open now, they would probably imdiately see the ghost wandering on the third floor.
"It's not surprising for the ghost to wander nearby after such a long ti, but we shouldn't have been targeted by the ghost yet,"
Li Yang frowned, looking alert and ready to respond.
Yang Jian didn't speak, only listening to the surrounding movents intently.
The ghost eye couldn't penetrate corpses, he couldn't see what was behind this wall, he could only judge the approaching danger through so subtle movents.
In this silent, oppressive environnt, even the tiniest sound would be infinitely amplified.
Yang Jian heard the sound of barefoot walking on the other side of the corpse wall, the sound was dull, each step heavy on the ground, seemingly without even an echo.
Recalling the situation when he passed the third floor in the elevator before.
At that ti, he had thrown a Ghost Candle to drive away the ghost on the third floor, but at the mont the Ghost Candle burned out, he did see a pair of cold, corpse-spotted bare feet standing in the middle of the road, and those feet were definitely the ghost on the third floor.
"Wait, the footsteps are speeding up."
Suddenly.
While listening to the neighboring footsteps, Yang Jian found that the initially slow and steady footsteps gradually quickened, but from the sound, they were moving away, distancing from the group.
"The ghost is leaving?" Tong Qian also felt the danger was moving away.
"No, it's bypassing the wall, not moving away from us."
Yang Jian's face was solemn, as he looked ahead, realizing there was an intersection on one side of the road ahead.
The intersection was piled with corpses front, back, left, and right, yet it was the only road leading here, previously the ghost might have been approaching the group, but had taken a wrong turn midway, blocked by the piled corpses, causing a delay, and now had to take a detour.
But under normal circumstances, these corpses shouldn't be able to stop a ghost from advancing.
Or, was the ghost bound by so pattern of movent, unable to cross the corpse wall?
However, just as Yang Jian was thinking this, his previous speculation beca reality.
At the end of the road ahead.
At that intersection, a strange corpse suddenly stood out there, surrounded by dim light, everything seed shrouded in a layer of black mist, unclear, but the eerie and chilling sensation from the corpse was palpable.
"The ghost is here."
Yang Jian stared intently at the ghost with his ghost eye, holding a cracked long spear, prepared for combat.
"The surrounding corpses are about to ignite, this ghost didn't co at the right ti, if we're lucky, we can retreat in ti without confronting the ghost," Li Yang whispered.
At this mont.
The furnace was almost fully reignited.
The surrounding corpses were roasted to a bright red, like red-hot irons, with even small flas erging.
Obviously.
The supernatural power of the furnace was influencing the surroundings, igniting the nearby corpses, causing these eerie corpses to burn.
Only now, the flas were still small, needing so ti to brew a full-blown supernatural fire to sweep over everything.
"The elevator hasn't arrived yet, but I can hear the sound of it operating in the shaft. It should be here soon," Tong Qian reported about the situation behind them.
Although the ghost had appeared, the situation wasn't entirely dire.
Everything seed to be moving in a positive direction.
"Sothing's wrong." Yang Jian's face was incredibly serious at this mont.
"Captain, what's the matter?" Li Yang asked.
He didn't have ghostly vision, couldn't see the ghost standing at the crossroad.
"Did you notice? After the ghost appeared, the corpses that had been set on fire are now extinguishing. The furnace's effect on the surrounding corpses is diminishing," Yang Jian observed the change.
"Indeed, there's sothing like that. The situation around seems to be reversing," Li Yang's expression shifted slightly.
Yang Jian said, "It's not reversing. The ghost interfered with the furnace, preventing its supernatural power from affecting the surroundings. In other words, if the ghost won't leave here, the furnace won't be able to ignite the surrounding corpses."
"This is indeed troubleso," Tong Qian and Li Yang felt a chill upon hearing this.
The situation they most dreaded had finally occurred.
Today, they feared there was no avoiding a confrontation with this ghost.
However, in the next mont.
Yang Jian, who had been observing the situation motionlessly, suddenly took action.
The cracked long spear in his hand was suddenly thrown forward.
Like a javelin, it flew rapidly through the air, directly piercing the bizarre corpse at the end of the road, and with trendous force, pinned it against a wall ford by countless piled-up corpses.
As long as the Coffin Nail pinned the ghost, no matter how ferocious or terrifying, it would fall silent, unable to move.
"Did it work?" Yang Jian stared at the corpse at the end of the road, uncertain of the situation.
"Acting directly is too reckless. Doing so might cause you to lose this supernatural weapon here," Tong Qian reminded.
Yang Jian replied, "Can't worry about so much. This ghost is frightfully fierce. I have a premonition that pinning it directly would be a good thing. As for retrieving the supernatural weapon, I'll think about that later."
Tong Qian nodded and didn't say more.
In her heart, she had to admit, Yang Jian's boldness was indeed extraordinary.
It's well known that both the Coffin Nail and the Firewood Knife are important supernatural items. Losing them would an a huge loss, yet in such tis, Yang Jian could throw them out without hesitation, rely as a probing attack.
Perhaps due to the Coffin Nail truly pinning the ghost, the dim light around began quickly recovering.
The corpses that had been ignited suddenly started burning again, more intensely this ti, forming a spreading trend, with the fire growing larger.
"It seems we succeeded. The furnace reignited completely, and the surrounding flas rose. The ghost is likely truly pinned down," Li Yang observed the changes around them and said.
Yang Jian was silent.
Could this really be so simple?
It was, after all, a ghost that occupied an entire floor of the Caesar Hotel and could easily intercept the paranormal elevator.
Even though the attack was swift and seemingly decisive, Yang Jian wasn't confident that it had truly resolved the ghost on the third floor.
Nonetheless, despite doubts, Yang Jian hoped he'd be lucky enough to have pinned the ghost dead.
But just then.
The wall ford by piled-up corpses suddenly shook.
At first, it seed like an illusion.
Soon it was clear it wasn't.
The walls on both sides suddenly collapsed, and countless corpses lost their balance, surged toward Yang Jian and the others like two tides of corpses, leaving them defenseless.
"Fall back."
Yang Jian's face changed drastically; he shouted as he felt corpses smashing onto him.
These corpses were incredibly heavy and nurous. Even though he reacted quickly and pushed away many, the subsequent corpses still engulfed him.
"Damn it." Li Yang and Tong Qian's faces also changed, filled with shock.
They wanted to resist but were powerless. Even their supernatural powers couldn't instantly clear away all the corpses at this mont.
Moreover, these weren't ordinary corpses; they possessed supernatural qualities.
Under the flickering light.
The corpses continued to surge, filling the road they were on, burying the three at the bottom. Once the torrent of corpses stopped, everything returned to calm.
