Chapter 350: Chapter 349: The Person in the Fog
At this mont, Yang Jian, Xiong Wenwen, Luo Su Yi, and Lin Luoi road near the Caesar Grand Hotel shrouded in the Ghost Fog. They neither chose to retreat nor rashly burst into the interior.
In such tis, any recklessness could prove fatal.
Yang Jian wanted this operation to be perfect, to ensure a smooth resolution to the incident. The resources at his disposal were limited; if they didn’t succeed this ti, they definitely wouldn’t be so well prepared next ti.
“It looks like the odds are against us this ti,” Luo Su Yi stood not far away, his mood worsening as he watched Yang Jian deep in thought, “Yang Jian is being so cautious, which only goes to show how dangerous it must be inside. If it weren’t for the fact that we had no other choice, you wouldn’t catch dead here.”
Lin Luoi didn’t speak. She just glanced at Luo Su Yi, her eyes betraying unease and fear.
She had a premonition that she might die in this hotel.
The feeling wasn’t so strong before, but the closer they got, the clearer it beca.
“You don’t have to be afraid. If worse cos to worst, we’ll find a chance to slip away,” Luo Su Yi saw her discomfort and whispered comfortingly, “Besides, looking at this, Yang Jian might not even really plan to take action.”
But whether such comfort was effective, nobody knew.
“If you’re not sure, let’s forget it. I have to go ho tomorrow. My mom only gave a three-day leave; if I’m late, I’m definitely going to get scolded,” Xiong Wenwen tugged at Yang Jian’s sleeve, looking sowhat pitiful.
Yang Jian didn’t respond to him but furrowed his brow, feeling the pressure.
The appearance of the Ghost Fog ant that Feng Quan might have fallen in the hotel, too. How many ghosts were inside was now a mystery to him; furthermore, with Feng Quan’s predicant, whether Guo Fan had also been hard was uncertain… If he assud the worst, the number of ghosts inside could reach astonishing levels.
To find Zhao Lei’s location precisely in this environnt and to track down the source of the mory-altering ghost would undoubtedly exact a trendous toll.
Even the possibility that the four of them could be wiped out the mont they entered lood large.
However, the ergence of the Ghost Fog and the lockdown of the surrounding streets gave Yang Jian considerable leeway. At least he didn’t have to worry about the spread of the supernatural event causing a disaster in Z city.
“In extraordinary tis, extraordinary asures are needed; just barging in with our heads held high is suicide—that’s a fool’s errand, and I won’t do it,” Yang Jian squinted as he stared at the hotel, obscured in the dense fog.
“The hotel has beco a forbidden ground by now. It seems calm, but I’m sure once you really get inside, it’d be nearly impossible to co out alive. All of this predicant, I suppose that ghost anticipated it or even made it one of its strategies against .”
He felt it was a trap set specifically for him.
Otherwise, a re supernatural event wouldn’t have beco so complicated.
To break out of this trap, relying on his own abilities wasn’t enough. After all, he was the prey, and once the prey is caught in the net, how could it possibly escape? Thus, he needed external forces.
The only things that can confront ghosts are other ghosts.
This was originally said by Zhou Zheng and had long been a shared nugget of wisdom among the circlet of ghost manipulators.
Yang Jian thought it was ti to call for so outside assistance; otherwise, they would have to abandon the mission.
“You guys wait for at the police line behind, I’ll go in alone first to do so prep work, to reduce the danger level of this hotel. If everything goes well, then we’ll act together,” he thought of a more secure approach.
“And if things don’t go smoothly?” Luo Su Yi imdiately asked.
Yang Jian said, “Then we’ll call off this operation. Do you think I would undertake sothing I’m not sure about? You’re afraid to die, and I don’t want to go down in this place without a clue either.”
“That’s good,” Luo Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was terrified that Yang Jian would lead them straight into the hotel.
“That’s settled then. Xiong Wenwen, you go back with them to the next police line. No matter what happens, don’t enter this hotel, not even if you hear yelling for help,” Yang Jian sternly instructed.
Xiong Wenwen nodded quickly.
Without another word, Yang Jian imdiately strode toward the depths of the Ghost Fog.
Before disappearing into the Ghost Fog, he looked back, “Don’t you two think of sneaking away while I’m not here. Even if you’re going to run, wait until after I’m dead. Otherwise, if you ruin my plans, I’ll definitely co back and hold you accountable.”
Luo Su Yi broke out in a cold sweat, forced a smile, but did not respond.
He wondered if Yang Jian had overheard his earlier words.
After issuing his warning, Yang Jian walked into the Ghost Fog. He had only taken a few steps forward when his figure was engulfed by the thick mist, and in the blink of an eye, he was no longer visible. The outline of the hotel building remained, but Yang Jian’s silhouette nearby could no longer be seen.
The fog emanated an unimaginable, eerie quality.
The earlier decision of the group to stop outside the dense fog was absolutely correct.
Upon entering the Ghost Fog, Yang Jian imdiately lost his sense of direction.
He could not see in any direction, nor could he hear any movent; the silence around him was terrifying.
Earlier, they had been able to see the general location of the hotel from outside the fog, but after entering, there was no sign of it—everything before his eyes was a hazy gray, and there was a piercingly cold aura that continuously invaded his body, causing a chilling discomfort.
“This dense fog covers an area reminiscent of a Ghost Domain. Should an ordinary person carelessly venture inside, they’d surely lose their way unless sothing special happens. Otherwise, it’d be impossible for them to leave this fog,” Yang Jian surmised in his heart.
There are many forms of Ghost Domains; Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain emanated a red light from the Ghost Eye.
anwhile, the Ghost Domain of the Hungry Ghost enveloped the whole city with a blue-black haze.
Here, the Ghost Domain was a dense fog.
Regardless of the form a Ghost Domain takes, they all share one common characteristic: they can seal off an area, creating a Supernatural Space.
Beyond that, there’s of course the most basic, and most critical, aspect to not overlook:
Within a Ghost Domain, there is inevitably the presence of a ghost.
aning, hidden within this gray, hazy Ghost Fog was the source of the dense fog—a ghost that’s presumably been resurrected.
Yang Jian did not overestimate his abilities, nor did he waste any ti; he simply opened his Ghost Eye and unfolded his own Ghost Domain.
Ghost Domains repulse each other, and so far, Yang Jian had not encountered a situation where two ghosts’ domains lded together.
His Ghost Eye emitted a red light, dispelling so of the surrounding Ghost Fog, and created an area he could control.
This range wasn’t large, no more than three ters, and it was obvious his Ghost Domain was being suppressed.
But that was just an ordinary layer of the Ghost Domain. Yang Jian directly opened his second Ghost Eye. Without needing to overlap domains, both Ghost Eyes already strengthened his first layer because he now needed the Ghost Eyes to monitor his surroundings.
Under the influence of two Ghost Eyes, his Ghost Domain expanded to about a ten-ter radius.
The visibility in the dense fog noticeably improved.
“Who’s there?”
Yet, when he opened the Ghost Eye on the back of his head, as its field of vision fed into his mind, he abruptly stopped, his heart sank, and he stared intently at the patch of dense fog he had just passed through.
Within the fog about ten ters away, a human silhouette stood immobile. The dense fog obscured the figure’s features and build, making it hard to distinguish whether it was human or ghost.
What was certain, however, was that this entity had been following him shortly after he entered the Ghost Fog.
If not for the Ghost Eye on the back of his head surveying the rear, Yang Jian wouldn’t have noticed it at all.
“Should I take care of it first?” Yang Jian took out the Ghost Candle he carried, ready to restrain it, whether it was human or ghost.
However, as soon as he thought to act, the figure standing in the fog seen through his Ghost Eye quickly blurred, and with the surrounding gray fog drifting, it disappeared once again.
It seed to move away from Yang Jian, or perhaps it rged with part of the Ghost Fog, ready to reappear suddenly and eerily at any mont.
“Left, huh… But now isn’t the ti to waste energy and resources elsewhere,” Yang Jian thought, his expression shifting slightly, without trying to stop the thing from leaving.
As long as it didn’t attack, he wouldn’t bother even if a ghost passed by him.
That’s because they weren’t his target this ti.
If he randomly changed his objective, it would only make matters worse.
“To the hotel,” Yang Jian grew even more cautious. He maintained a ten-ter Ghost Domain as he navigated through the Ghost Fog, with his two eyes and two Ghost Eyes granting him visibility of any sudden occurrences in his vicinity.
And with the Ghost Candle in hand, his chances of survival alone were very high.
As long as he doesn’t encounter an unsolvable deadly threat, Yang Jian could manage to survive through any supernatural incident.
