Chapter 925 Half a Face

Gu Hao saw someone lying on the ground and immediately went forward to check the situation. He found that the person was only temporarily unconscious. However, Gu Hao tried to wake him up but failed. So he felt the pulse of the person's palm and said in a deep voice, "One of his souls and one spirit was sucked away. If we can't find him, he will be completely useless."

Song Jiang looked at the man on the ground. He was about fifty years old and should be the backbone of a family. If he became a disabled person, it would be a devastating blow to the family. Thinking of this, Song Jiang looked at Gu Hao and said, "Can you find him back?"

Gu Hao nodded and said, "Of course he can... As long as we find the evil spirit that sucked away his soul and spirit, this person can still be saved."

After hearing this, Song Jiang looked at Meng Zhe and said, "Can you feel where Alice is now?"

Meng Zhe tried it, and then said in a deep voice, "The atmosphere around here is very chaotic. That old ghost should have known that this auction was a trap to entrap him... and he is now so rampantly sucking the essence of living people. I'm afraid he was injured when he fought with Alice."

When Deng Yaohui woke up from his coma, he found himself in an unfamiliar office. He weakly sat up from the ground, leaned against the wall with difficulty, and tried hard to recall what had just happened... But his last memory only stayed on the moment he walked into the elevator.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Deng Yaohui smiled helplessly. Although this building was the headquarters of his company, he was not familiar with every room. Fortunately, he was just a little dizzy now, and he didn't feel any discomfort in other parts of his body for the time being.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in the darkness not far away, "I'm sorry, Mr. Deng, I didn't mean to involve you... Unfortunately, your luck is not very good today, so I have to trouble you to come with me."

Deng Yaohui was a man who had seen the world after all. Although he was panicked in his heart, he remained calm and said, "Meeting is fate... My friend, since we are destined to meet, why don't you talk to me and see if I can do anything for you?"

After hearing this, the other party laughed and said, "Mr. Deng is indeed an entrepreneur who has been a leader in the business world for many years. He doesn't even worry about whether his situation is dangerous or not?"

Deng Yaohui also laughed after hearing this, "Whether it's dangerous or not depends on how you look at it... Since I'm of some use to you, you naturally won't be eager to hurt me. Why don't we each get what we need? You tell me what you need, I'll help you fulfill it, and then you let me go, how about that?"

"No problem... As long as Mr. Deng can help me get to the top floor, where my helicopter is parked, and as long as I can leave here safely, you can naturally leave here safely as well." The other party's voice sounded again.

Deng Yaohui was relieved when he heard that this was not a difficult task, so he said, "This is easy... I can give you the key to the rooftop, and you can leave the building at any time."

Unexpectedly, the other party sighed and said, "Of course, it's not that simple... I'm injured, and there's no way I can walk to the top floor by myself." Deng Yaohui didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time. When he heard that the other party was injured, he kindly advised him to go to the hospital first to treat his injury, so as not to delay the best treatment time. As a result, the next second, a face with half of its skin missing appeared in the darkness, looking at Deng Yaohui with a smile, as if saying to him, "Do you think my face still needs to be treated?!"

Deng Yaohui's heart sank immediately after seeing this, knowing that he might have met with disaster today. The man was so injured but still able to talk to him emotionally... He was obviously not an ordinary person, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Plastic surgery technology is very mature now. Although it may not be restored to the same state as before, it will never affect a person's normal social interaction."

After hearing this, Half Face smiled while moving the bloody half of his face, "Why bother with so much trouble? Why not just replace the body directly..."

Who would have thought that after Half Face said this, Deng Yaohui was no longer panicked. He sneered and asked, "You want to take over my body?"

Half Face didn't expect that this ordinary-looking Deng Yaohui actually knew about reincarnation, so he looked him up and down and asked, "You also know about reincarnation..."

"I advise you to focus your attention on others. You can't take away my body..." Deng Yaohui said confidently.

Unexpectedly, Half Face said nonchalantly, "In my dictionary, there is no such thing as 'cannot take away'. It depends on whether I want to take it away or not... and I have always been fond of the bodies of rich people like you."

Because the light in the room was very dim, and the other person only had half of his face left, Deng Yaohui did not recognize the true identity of this 'half-face' for a while, and just regarded him as a demon who had just taken over another body and was reborn. He kindly advised him, "There is no need for me to lie to you. You really can't take this body away... If I were you, I would leave here as soon as possible, because my brother and his friends will be here soon. Although my brother is uneducated, his friends are all extraordinary. Once they see you like this, the consequences may be very serious."

After Song Jiang and his men settled the unconscious security guard, they immediately searched the entire first floor, but there was no one else except the security guard. Deng Kai fiddled with the power distribution room for a long time but failed to restore the power of the entire building, so they had to use their mobile phones to illuminate and search up one floor at a time...

During this time, both Gu Hao and Meng Zhe kept trying to summon Alice, but unfortunately, they didn't get a response. This made Song Jiang feel a sense of foreboding, worrying that she might be in danger this time. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the office area on the second floor, they found that the personal assistant who had been with Duan Tiande before had also fallen to the ground and was unconscious. Gu Hao went forward to check, but found that the person had already died.

"What's going on? Could it be that Alice killed this man?!" Song Jiang asked nervously.

Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "Not like... Gu Hao, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Gu Hao said in a deep voice, "I feel it's more like the ghost that took over another body left the body... After all, not everyone is as lucky as Zhao Lang and his daughter, who can return to their original bodies after so many years. If I'm not mistaken, the old ghost must have been injured when he fought with Alice, so he had to absorb the souls of his companions to replenish his own essence."
