Chapter 1191 - 1157: The Horror of the Wandering

After leaving Room 88, the group continued forward.

Although they were delayed and faced some dangers, these were unavoidable events. In this place, all kinds of supernatural phenomena could appear. It was Yang Jian’s first time realizing that there was actually such a bizarre room.

He secretly made a mental note of this room.

Perhaps there would be a use for Room 88 in the future.

After all, there was still water residue he left inside the room.

This meant that as long as Yang Jian desired, he could use water as a medium to directly enter Room 88 from anywhere.

“Compared to last time, there truly are signs of losing control here.” Yang Jian was sitting in the front, and at this moment, he looked up at the ceiling.

On the ceiling of the corridor, there were unexpectedly a series of footprints left, stained with fresh blood. Although they were intermittent, it was very obvious that at some previous time, another ghost had passed through here and had left marks.

“I only know this is becoming more perilous.” Ah Nan said, “It’s already not quite suitable to linger.”

“So after this time, it should be completely sealed off.” Yang Jian stated expressionlessly.

Li Yang looked around: “Captain, the nearest Room 102 should be around this area.”

He saw Room 98 and Room 105.

The appearance of these numbers meant that Room 102 was not far, very likely nearby.

“How about it, does it look familiar?” Yang Jian glanced and said.

Ah Nan furrowed his brows, standing at a crossroads, looking in all directions, seemingly familiar with the area but uncertain, because every intersection here looks identical, only the nearby room numbers differ, so memorizing the path is useless, one must remember the nearby numbers.

“Didn’t you make some markings or something?” Tong Qian asked.

Ah Nan said, “Making markings is useless, everything here restores itself after a period, but I think I’ve been here before, I have some impression of Room 98, it should be this way.”

After speaking, he pointed to a dim passage to the right.

“Then let’s go right, but not all marking methods necessarily fail, Li Yang, you should have weapons with you.” Yang Jian said.

Li Yang nodded, immediately understanding, and took something out of his pocket, then threw it on the ground.

It was a golden bullet.

Made of gold, unaffected by supernatural influences.

The bullet pointed backwards, indicating the direction they came from.

“Good, leave a mark at every turn.” Yang Jian nodded.

They continued to turn right.

However, the further they walked, the more wrong it felt.

The passage got darker and darker. Before, there was still some light to see the road ahead, but now they were about to be swallowed by darkness, with no light ahead, and the passage seemed endless, not even showing a single other crossroad.

“Something’s wrong, it wasn’t this long a stretch before, and there was light then. Captain, should we stop?” Li Yang said.

Tong Qian and Ah Nan naturally noticed something wrong too.

But Yang Jian’s steps didn’t stop because of it, he kept walking forward, then said, “I’ve long noticed something was off, we’ve entered a ghost domain, but there’s no need to worry, since the ghost is lurking here and refusing to leave, we’ll send it away.”

“Although being cautious is not wrong, there’s no need to be timid because of it.”

His ghost eye opened.

A faint red glow appeared in the dark passage.

Though the red light wasn’t bright, it was enough to dispel some of the surrounding darkness, allowing them to see the way ahead a bit clearer.

“This ghost domain isn’t simple, it’s begun to affect reality. The path we’ve walked wasn’t an illusion but real.” Yang Jian said.

“This means the ghost lurking around is fierce, dealing with it might be difficult.” Tong Qian said.

Yang Jian didn’t respond, just suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked ahead.

Though it was pitch black ahead, his ghost eye could still see into the distance. His vision was somewhat impaired, unable to see the end of the passage.

But that was enough.

“Something’s coming, be careful.” Suddenly, he warned.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions immediately tensed.

The only things that could appear here could only be ghosts, nothing else.

Yang Jian stared intensely ahead.

Within the darkness, a figure slowly emerged, approaching from afar—no, not one, but two, three… four, the number kept increasing.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The figures in the darkness revealed their features, and at this moment, he could see them clearly.

Facing them was a person in theatrical costume, dressed in bright red opera garb, with a face ashen white, devoid of color, walking with eyes closed, like a driven corpse.

The people behind were the same, but with costumes of different colors, some in black opera costumes, some in white, and others in green.

These people seemed like a troupe of opera performers, endlessly wandering through this dark passage.

“Are they ghosts?” Yang Jian tried to distinguish with his ghost eye.

But he couldn’t discern if these figures in theatrical costumes were true ghosts, or merely ghost slaves controlled by some supernatural force, but he knew for sure, these things were dangerous and wicked, not to be compared to the ghosts previously encountered in the elevator or Room 88.

Just the ghost domain was enough to affect this area, rooms couldn’t contain these things, indicating immense danger.

“I thought the ghost wandering here was just a single entity, one that I could easily handle with my current ability, but it’s a group.” Yang Jian thought internally.

He then whispered, “Retreat. There’s a ghost group approaching, it’s probably more than one ghost.”

The others widened their eyes in slight terror and quickly retreated.

Though Yang Jian retreated, a puddle remained where he stood, deep and vaguely reflecting an old room.

He used water as a medium to connect with Room 88, trying to set a trap to drown the approaching ghosts into the water and lock them inside Room 88.

If such terrifying entities roamed around unchecked, many would surely die if they slipped out, considering they possessed a ghost domain.

They retreated continuously.

The puddles spread, interconnecting.

A water-submerged path formed.

“It’s ready.” Yang Jian didn’t retreat further, instead, he stopped.

At this moment, the person in the red opera costume had already approached the first puddle range.

The ghost hesitated not, nor halted its steps, even though Ghost Lake Water lay ahead, it continued forward.

A deceased foot in black cloth shoes stepped into the chilly puddle.

The ghost’s body slowly sank.

“It’s working.” Yang Jian’s ghost eye noticed this scene.

However, as the first ghost moved forward, the others also successively stepped into the water.

But as they continued, when their bodies were submerged halfway, they stopped sinking.

Controlling four-tenths of the Ghost Lake’s supernatural power, Yang Jian couldn’t drown these entities with just the water.

“They can’t be sunk? But this also indicates that those things under the opera costumes aren’t just ghost slaves, they are true ghosts… only true ghosts can resist the Ghost Lake’s erosion.” Yang Jian couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

What on earth is this Kaiser Grand Hotel?

Why are there things that even Ghost Lake cannot contain appearing here?

“But I refuse to believe it. If I can’t deal with all the ghosts, at least I can handle one, right?”

Yang Jian calmed down, the water beneath his feet bubbling.

A golden, cracked spear appeared.

He wanted to try to dismember one ghost, at least reduce their numbers.

“You all keep retreating, I’m going to make a probing move, if anything happens, run immediately, do not hesitate, this situation is quite special, you mustn’t face it head-on.”

Yang Jian gestured to Li Yang, and he stepped forward into the water towards them.
