Chapter 1201 - 1167: The Anomaly Behind

Yang Jian flipped through the notebook, and was immediately stunned by the writing on this page.

The ghost is right behind you, do not turn around?

Is this meant to scare me?

This room had been inspected before, there were no ghosts, and now Yang Jian was standing in the living room, the only thing in front of him was a wooden table, and behind him was a wall.

But…

Yang Jian slightly lifted his head and looked towards the direction of the door.

The notebook had mentioned that there were four ghosts knocking at the door, and indeed, four knocking sounds were heard from outside the door, which was confirmed by Li Yang’s action—there were indeed malicious ghosts knocking, it wasn’t just a prank.

The appearance of such supernatural phenomena is the best proof.

To be cautious.

A ghost eye appeared at the back of Yang Jian’s head.

The ghost eye peered at everything behind, to see if there was indeed a ghost present.

The result was obvious.

The space behind was empty, with no signs of a ghost at all.

“Was I deceived by this sentence? No, maybe not, this sentence says there is a ghost behind me, urging me not to turn around; perhaps I need to turn around to see the true ghost, if I don’t turn, then nothing will happen.”

Yang Jian thought to himself.

“So, should I turn around or not turn around?”

This question emerged in his mind.

On one hand, he wanted to verify if the notebook’s message was true, but on the other hand, he didn’t want to abide by the notebook’s instructions.

Maybe it’s a trap.

If you don’t comply, nothing might happen, but if you do, you might encounter danger.

“However, given my current condition, even if danger arises, I should be able to handle it, not get killed immediately.” Yang Jian began to think this way.

Fear of danger is not crucial; what matters is whether you have enough means to confront it.

Try it.

Suddenly.

Yang Jian made a decision.

However, at this moment, Tong Qian approached first, her hand covering the notebook, and then she said, “You want to experiment to verify if the notebook’s words are true?”

Not only Yang Jian had seen the content in the notebook, but she had seen it as well.

“This notebook is peculiar; it’s not an ordinary notebook. Although the notes were left by Xiang Lan, the notebook she used to record information might be a supernatural item. I want to see if this thing is truly so magical that it can interfere with reality, causing a malicious ghost to appear behind me out of thin air.” Yang Jian said.

Tong Qian replied, “But it shouldn’t be you trying it; what if it’s a deadly curse?”

“There is definitely danger.” Yang Jian said.

“I know, my point is, why not let me try; I have three faces, I can let a ghost face turn around, the ghost face represents me too, would you feel this is somewhat safer?” Tong Qian said.

Yang Jian’s expression shifted: “You make sense, but if it is a deadly curse, your two ghost faces can’t save you, whereas I can reboot myself and erase such a deadly curse.”

“You’ve mentioned that there are always risks, and they all shouldn’t be borne by you.” Tong Qian said.

He felt something was off about Yang Jian and didn’t want him to continue doing dangerous things; he felt it necessary to step forward and share the risk.

“Captain, Tong Qian’s words have logic, he has three faces, letting a ghost face turn around might counteract this curse.” Li Yang also persuaded.

Yang Jian thought for a while, no longer insisting, and handed the notebook to Tong Qian: “Since you’ve decided, then you do it, I hope your ghost face really can produce unexpected results.”

“Don’t worry, I have a feeling that I’ll be okay.” Tong Qian said.

“Feelings can’t be relied upon, you’re not Xiong Wenwen.” Yang Jian said.

At this moment, Tong Qian held the notebook, the writing on it remained, still the same sentence: The ghost is right behind you, do not turn around.

“Let’s begin.”

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then twisted his neck, slowly turning his head.

But as Tong Qian’s head turned, it was not his face that first turned to the rear, but a ghost face with a bizarre smile.

That cold and eerie smiling face, seemingly neither male nor female, opened its eyes at this moment, inspecting the anomaly behind.

The vision of the ghost face was shared.

Tong Qian could see everything behind him through that smiling face.

But the smiling ghost face had just turned slightly, and what appeared in view first was not the old, mottled wall, but a yellowed, dim corpse skin… no, that was a corpse, standing right behind, as if it had been following you all along, only you hadn’t turned around to see it before, so you hadn’t discovered it.

“There’s truly a ghost?” Tong Qian’s eyes widened, appearing particularly shocked.

He immediately retracted his gaze, turning his head back.

All the bizarre phenomena vanished.

“What happened?” Yang Jian asked.

He was observing from the side, yet did not see the corpse standing behind Tong Qian.

Tong Qian gravely nodded: “I saw the ghost, although it was just a quick glimpse, there’s no doubt a ghost was standing behind me, the notebook’s claims are true, but I didn’t encounter danger, perhaps because it wasn’t me who turned to look at the malicious ghost, but my ghost face.”

“Malicious ghosts observing malicious ghosts are indeed much safer.”

Upon receiving confirmation, Yang Jian immediately frowned: “So, everything stated in this notebook is real?”

“Even if it is real, the notebook’s content shouldn’t accurately say the ghost is behind me, unless the ghost is released by the notebook itself, and anyone who opens this notebook will encounter a similar situation.” Tong Qian said.

This deduction is reasonable.

But if anyone who opens the notebook encounters such a situation, then Xiang Lan should have experienced it as well before.

Why didn’t she record it in the notebook?

Yang Jian was somewhat puzzled, finding there might be some secrets with this old notebook.

While the two were analyzing the situation.

Suddenly.

The knocking sound at the door started again, this time more violent than before, even with Li Yang blocking it, the door still shook and trembled.

“There’s no problem for now, I can hold the things outside the door.” Li Yang felt the strength of the impact, thinking it was within his coping range.

Yang Jian said: “We can’t stay here any longer, we must leave immediately, head to the exit, and if possible, find room 10 to see the information Xiang Lan left there, this place has lost its value.”

“This notebook is very bizarre, don’t bring it with us, leave it here.”

“Alright.”

Tong Qian immediately closed the notebook, then placed it back on the table, no longer giving in to curiosity.

“Get ready to open the door, we’re charging out, I fear the ghost at the door isn’t targeting us, but delaying us, don’t forget all the room doors outside are open, so the longer we stay here, the more dangerous it is.” Yang Jian immediately added.

Saying this, he had already moved to the door, signaling Li Yang to prepare.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll open the door.” Li Yang said, meanwhile gradually withdrawing the supernatural power, no longer sealing off the door.

Yang Jian nodded.

The next moment.

Li Yang let go, a tremendous force from outside came, and the original wooden door abruptly shattered with a bang.

Whoosh!

A gust of chill wind blew in from the corridor outside, the living room light flickered a few times, then returned to normal.

However, oddly enough, there was no one outside the dim door, only four indented hand prints left on the splintered wood of the door, varying in size, clearly belonging to different people.

“Gone?”

Prepared to respond, everyone was suddenly stunned by this sight.

“If they’re gone, don’t worry about it, let’s move.” Yang Jian was decisive, ignoring the situation, immediately rushing out and quickly heading in one direction.

Li Yang and Tong Qian didn’t hesitate and followed closely behind.

As the three left, room 100 became peaceful once again.

But that notebook left on the table was reopened once more.

A light breeze blew past,

The pages turned, and on the last page Yang Jian opened, another line appeared: Although you didn’t turn around, the ghost has always been behind you.

Moreover, under that light.

The four wooden stools around the wooden table cast four blurry human shadows, as if someone was sitting at the table eating.

But one of those shadows was gradually fading away.
