Chapter 1174 - 1140: Strange Occurrences at the Hotel

The special plane flew back to Dachang City at two o’clock in the morning.

Although everyone was tired and sleepy, their mood was much better since they took away 12 billion from Daxing Entertainment City. After deducting previous losses, they still made a big profit this time.

However, what they didn’t know was that Yang Jian had another fight with someone during this trip. They only played in the entertainment city for a night, unaware of the dangers involved.

If Yang Jian hadn’t solved so many troubles, they probably wouldn’t have even made it out of Da’ao City.

“When we get back, I want to take a good shower and sleep well.” Jiang Yan stretched lazily, with a smile on her face.

Xiong Wenwen was still energetic: “I haven’t had enough fun yet. That entertainment city didn’t live up to expectations. We can try another one. Xiao Yang, you’re such a coward, winning a little money and rushing back. If I were Daddy Xiong, I’d make sure to bankrupt all the entertainment cities in Da’ao City before leaving.”

“And Ah Wei, you’re so pathetic, getting robbed and almost losing your pants. Were you mugged for money or seduction?”

Zhang Wei’s face turned red immediately, “I was just careless for a moment, besides, I won more than you this time. I was not seduced, and if they hadn’t relied on numbers, how could they have been a match for me?”

“Alright, alright, everyone just say less. Coming back safe and sound this time is already quite lucky. It seems like we should go out less in the future, things aren’t the same as before.” Zhang Xiangu said at that moment.

He understood in his heart that while the trip seemed peaceful, it was fraught with hidden dangers.

It’s just that these crises must have been resolved by Yang Jian.

Kids might not understand, but as an adult, Zhang Xiangu certainly understood this principle.

While chatting, they had already left the airport and were on their way back to Guanjiang Residential Complex.

Although their identities and statuses were different, everyone lived in the same complex, making traveling and returning home together a convenient thing.

Each returned home to rest.

Yang Jian returned to his place as usual, letting Zhang Liqin document the events of this trip.

It wasn’t without gains; he brought back a 707 room number plate and a bottle of corpse oil.

The former is a supernatural artifact, strange and dangerous. The latter is a product from a vengeful ghost’s body, though possessing supernatural power, it’s merely a consumable whose specific use is still unknown and needs to be studied.

After dealing with some miscellaneous things, Yang Jian still wasn’t sleepy, feeling quite energetic.

After all, he no longer needed sleep to replenish his energy.

Of course, Yang Jian could sleep and live like a normal person in the world of ghost dreams, live uninhibitedly, and experience everything.

But in the end, the illusionary world remains an illusion.

Yang Jian can relax, but not indulge.

Soon.

Morning came.

Jiang Yan came back too late last night, unable to get up today, still lazily sleeping, while Yang Jian had to take Zhang Liqin to the office.

Eight o’clock.

Yang Jian arrived at Shangtong Tower punctually.

“You go back to the office first; I need to visit the research department.” He instructed.

Zhang Liqin smiled and said, “I don’t have much to do. How about I accompany you to the research department?”

“No need, I’m going to see Doctor Chen about supernatural matters. You can ask Liu Xiaoyu at the office if anything has happened these past two days; I think some of our work needs to be scheduled promptly,” Yang Jian said.

He hadn’t forgotten that there were still some huge hidden dangers near Dachang City that he needed to deal with.

He initially planned to handle them after returning from Da’ao City.

Now that he’s back, naturally, he can’t slack off.

Zhang Liqin said, “Then I’ll go find Liu Xiaoyu first to ask about the situation.”

Yang Jian nodded and immediately went to the research department.

Doctor Chen was punctual at work, enjoying tea in the office due to the relaxed and leisurely work environment.

“Team Yang, why are you here?” Doctor Chen was surprised to see Yang Jian and quickly put down his teacup and stood up, appearing somewhat reserved.

The other staff in the office also became nervous.

Yang Jian came over and put down a bottle: “This contains corpse oil obtained from a vengeful ghost. It feels very special. Research it to see if you can discover anything. Use it sparingly; this is the only bottle.”

“Oh, corpse oil?” Doctor Chen immediately put on his glasses, looking at it curiously.

It was an ordinary beer bottle filled with a black, viscous oil. Because it was well-sealed, there was no special odor detectable nearby.

“Have you seen this thing before?” Yang Jian asked.

Doctor Chen said: “I saw it when researching with Wang Xiaoming. Things from vengeful ghosts easily carry supernatural aspects, like hair and clothes, and of course, corpse oil is no exception. Some can absorb supernatural aspects, possessing brief and weak supernatural power, occasionally proving useful, but not very significant.”

“For instance, we researched a piece of clothing from a vengeful ghost. Initially, it was just an ordinary, badly damaged piece of clothing, but being worn by a vengeful ghost for a long time, it acquired some incredible supernatural ability. We wrapped it around a little white mouse.”

“The result was that the little white mouse fell ill and died quickly. If worn by a living person, the person might also fall ill and die in a short time.”

“But the clothing’s effect didn’t last long, completely decaying after just a month.”

Yang Jian said: “Interesting research case. What about the corpse oil?”

“The corpse oil is extracted from a vengeful ghost, theoretically a part of the ghost, but not all corpse oil from vengeful ghosts is useful. Some are useless. We researched the corpse oil from one vengeful ghost and found that when ignited, it could attract other vengeful ghosts. It was later made into a white ghost candle, but that was a failed product. Wang Xiaoming was working on creating a red ghost candle to repel vengeful ghost attacks, but later he found success in making the red ghost candle.”

“Unfortunately, the amount is very limited, making mass production impossible.”

At this moment, Doctor Chen revealed a secret.

“Since this corpse oil originates from a vengeful ghost, it surely possesses a part of the ghost’s supernatural aspects. We just don’t know what those are yet. Once researched, it might help create various supernatural tools.”

“How long will it take?” Yang Jian asked.

Doctor Chen replied: “The research is dangerous, and it requires cooperation with a vengeful ghost to determine its awakening. With the help of a ghost tamer, the result could come in about a week, and making a final product would take around ten days.”

“Do we need ghost tamers to coordinate?” Yang Jian quickly assessed his staff options.

Most suitable for this job are Huang Ziya, Wang Yong, Xiong Wenwen, and Li Yang. Feng Quan is definitely not suitable, and Tong Qian’s supernatural force is too dangerous to cooperate on research.

“I’ll have Wang Yong come here to work with you,” Yang Jian said.

“That’s good.”

Doctor Chen nodded and said, “Then I can start working now.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you,” Yang Jian said and promptly turned to leave without further delay.

Once he left,

Doctor Chen immediately instructed his assistant to take the bottle of corpse oil on the table to the lab.

Even if it’s not a malevolent ghost, anything involving the supernatural must be handled with extreme caution.

Once contaminated, it might lead to a bizarre death.

As Yang Jian was leaving the research department, his phone suddenly received a text message from Zhang Liqin, asking him to come to the office.

“Hmm?”

He frowned slightly but hurried towards the office without overthinking.

Soon,

Yang Jian arrived at the office.

At the moment, several people had gathered in the office, including Liu Xiaoyu, Yang Xiaohua, Eagle, and his team members: Huang Ziya, Li Yang.

“Gathering early in the morning. Is something wrong?” Yang Jian said.

Zhang Liqin walked over, handed a cup of Coke, and said, “Let Liu Xiaoyu explain it to you.”

Liu Xiaoyu seriously addressed Yang Jian, “There was an incident two days ago, but you said it wasn’t urgent, and then you ran off to Da’ao City to have fun. Now we’ve received information from Tong Qian; he said the Caesar Hotel he is monitoring has lights turning on every night, and there’s activity as if it were open for business.”

“Tong Qian ventured into the Caesar Hotel once but did not go deep. Guess what he discovered?”

Yang Jian said, “How should I know? If there’s something, just report it directly. I don’t have time to guess.”

“He saw someone living in the hotel, but couldn’t catch them as they ran further inside the Caesar Hotel. Tong Qian didn’t dare chase them, so he immediately reported the incident. Headquarters also knows.” Liu Xiaoyu said.

Yang Jian appeared slightly concerned.

He recalled that the last time he went to the Caesar Hotel was to retrieve a firewood knife, wrapping the tall male corpse with a corpse wrapping cloth, finally sealing it in the wall to block the exit.

Although the wall wasn’t very sturdy, the tall male corpse wedged inside should prevent the malevolent ghost from invading outward.

After all, the corpse wrapping cloth can also block supernatural infiltration.

“Tong Qian hopes you’ll go over and check it out soon.”

Liu Xiaoyu said, “He worries about losing control of the Caesar Hotel situation.”

“I went to the Caesar Hotel once before when delivering a letter.” At this point, Eagle revealed a situation that happened while he was working as a messenger for the Ghost Post Office.

“At the time, the hotel was still open. I checked in as a customer, then followed a nonexistent path into a corridor filled with eerie rooms. I didn’t go deep; I just delivered the letter and hurried back, a bit scared but ultimately unharmed.”

Eagle said, “By the way, I received that letter delivery task while on the second floor of the post office. During the task, I encountered a malevolent ghost wandering there; luckily, it didn’t pay attention to me.”

“So you’ve been to that place too,” Yang Jian was a bit surprised.

Apparently, his experiences were indeed quite extensive.

But during that time, the Caesar Hotel was still operational, indicating that the supernatural hadn’t lost control and safety was intact.

“I’ve been through quite a few haunted places.”

Eagle shook his head and said, “Some places don’t exist in reality; only after successfully delivering the mail can you escape and leave.”

Liu Xiaoyu said, “How do you plan to handle this incident? Continue to monitor, or go investigate?”

“Let’s go investigate; it’s a potential threat we can’t ignore,” Yang Jian said nonchalantly.

“Li Yang, prepare yourself. We’re heading there together this afternoon.”

He directly named Li Yang, taking him along.

“No problem.” Li Yang nodded.

“There are many rooms there; your supernatural abilities will be very effective,” Yang Jian said.

Li Yang grinned and said, “Let’s hope everything goes smoothly and it’s not another ghost post office scenario. Otherwise, no matter how many rooms, I won’t be able to handle it.”

“Don’t worry, we’ve improved since back then,”

Yang Jian wasn’t worried. Having acquired Ghost Lake’s supernatural powers, although infiltrated by Ghost Lake, he felt good overall, full of confidence.

Liu Xiaoyu said again, “There’s also the black umbrella supernatural event. Feng Quan is temporarily handling it, but the situation doesn’t look optimistic. You should find a way to quickly deal with it.”

“I know; it’s just that it’s very tricky and not easy to handle.”

Yang Jian said, “Let’s push it back a little; we’ll deal with it after coming back from Caesar Hotel. A few days ago, I just finished handling the Ghost Lake, and going to Da’ao City wasn’t a vacation. I ran into a troublesome matter; you should prepare to report Da’ao City’s head Lok Sheng’s incident.”

“That guy only targets domestic team leaders among ghost tamers outside the United Nations, seems to be plotting something major. I had a confrontation with them, killed several people, but couldn’t kill him as he escaped.”

“Got it, I’ll report it immediately.” Liu Xiaoyu was shocked, realizing the severity of this issue.

Yang Xiaohua chimed in, “Yang Jian, the Exorcism Club from Japan keeps requesting to visit you; are you not going to take care of it? They constantly stop people on the streets asking, even I’ve been stopped four or five times.”

“Let them keep waiting.”

Yang Jian waved his hand and said, “I haven’t finished my own business yet, no mood to deal with the trivial matters of the Exorcism Club.”

“Just brush them off; I’ll talk to them later,” Huang Ziya said as she played with her thick hair, smiling.
