Chapter 928: Paper Crane Chasing Souls

The current situation is that neither Duan Tiande nor Alice is found, and even the other people in the building are all missing. Song Jiang can see that Deng Kai is worried about Deng Yaohui's safety, so he comforts him, "Don't worry, everyone knows who your brother is, I believe he must have a way to protect himself..."

Deng Kai sighed after hearing this, "Who would have thought that catching an old ghost would involve him... It would be best if nothing happened, otherwise I... Sigh..."

Seeing Deng Kai sighing, Gu Hao took out a piece of talisman paper and folded it into a paper crane. After using a spell, he threw it into the air. The little yellow paper crane came to life instantly, flapped its wings, flew around Gu Hao, then turned around and flew towards the elevator.

Gu Hao glanced at Deng Kai and said, "This paper crane can sense all the evil spirits, negative energy, and resentment in the building. Although it cannot find Deng Yaohui's location immediately, as long as we make sure he hasn't met Duan Tiande, he should be safe."

Then, they followed the little paper crane to the elevator entrance and saw the little guy flying back and forth in front of the elevator door. Did he sense something? Or did he simply want to take the elevator upstairs? Seeing this, Song Jiang stepped forward and tried to press the door-opening button, but the elevator door did not move at all.

"Are you stupid?! There is a power outage in the building and the elevator is not connected to the emergency power supply, so it cannot be used..." Deng Kai said with some amusement.

When Song Jiang heard this, he looked at the paper crane and said, "Paper crane, paper crane, the elevator is out of power, why don't you take the stairs!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Hao raised his hand and said, "It doesn't want to take the elevator. There must be something inside that attracts it..."

Deng Kai stepped forward and tried to pry the elevator door open from the outside. Seeing this, Song Jiang also went over to help. However, the two of them pulled and dug at it, but they couldn't get it open. Finally, Meng Zhe couldn't stand it anymore and asked the two of them to step aside. He stepped forward and waved the door lightly. The elevator door was forcibly opened by an external force. However, he found that the elevator shaft was empty. He looked down and found that the elevator had been hovering on the second floor...

So Song Jiang and his men went down the stairs to the second floor without stopping. Meng Zhe forced the elevator door open again. Then they were shocked by the situation inside. They saw more than a dozen people lying in the elevator, squeezing and pressing each other. If the elevator door had opened a little later, the people at the bottom would have been crushed to death! When Song Jiang and his men saw this, they immediately went in and carried the people out one by one. After Gu Hao's inspection, they found that all the more than a dozen people had lost their souls.

"Lost souls? More than a dozen people lost their souls at the same time!?" Song Jiang asked in a deep voice.

Gu Hao said solemnly, "Indeed, their souls were forcibly sucked away... It must have been done by that old ghost Duan Tiande. Judging from the aura on the second floor and the fact that the souls of these dozen people were all sucked out, Alice must have had a fierce battle with Duan Tiande, and the latter was injured, so he suddenly decided to swallow the souls of these people. And judging from the situation, he should be seriously injured."

"These people are Deng Yaohui's employees. They are in the elevator. So where did Deng Yaohui go?" Deng Kai said with some concern.

Gu Hao thought for a while and said, "If Duan Tiande is really seriously injured, then in his opinion, Deng Yaohui should be a good way out. Once he takes over his body, losing Duan Tiande's identity will not be a big loss for him..." Hearing what Gu Hao said, Deng Kai became even more anxious, "What should we do now? We must not let that old Deng take away Deng Yaohui's body!"

"Don't worry, he can't take it away... Theoretically, it's impossible for a body to be possessed twice, and I don't believe that Deng Yaohui has no tricks up his sleeve." Gu Hao said firmly.

Song Jiang agreed with Gu Hao's idea, so he was not too worried about Deng Yaohui's safety. On the contrary, he was more worried about Alice. If Duan Tiande was seriously injured, how could she be unscathed? But now she was nowhere to be found... Song Jiang couldn't figure out for a moment whether she had found a secret place to hide or was she eaten by Duan Tiande? !

Looking at the dozen people lying on the ground, Song Jiang asked Meng Zhe worriedly, "Can they wake up?"

"If their souls are recovered, they will naturally wake up... otherwise they will remain in a vegetative state forever. Fortunately, their souls were swallowed by Duan Tiande not long ago. If we can seize the time to make him spit them out, maybe they can still be saved." Meng Zhe said in a deep voice.

But the question is where to find Duan Tiande now? ! Gu Hao thought about it and felt that the headquarters building of Deng's Enterprise was too big. If he continued to look blindly, Duan Tiande might really run away. So he looked at Song Jiang and the other two and said, "We have to hurry up and split into two groups. Deng Kai and I will go to the helipad on the rooftop. The old guy's ultimate goal must be to leave here by helicopter, so as long as he can still move, the rooftop should be where he will appear. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the injured Duan Tiande is holding Deng Yaohui hostage and hiding in a corner of the building. This will be left to you two to find. Let's block his way out together, and Duan Tiande will never be able to escape!"

Meng Zhe had no objection to this. Anyway, whether inside the building or on the roof, it would be better for Duan Tiande not to meet him, otherwise there would be no need for the people from the underworld to collect his soul. The White Tiger God would personally get rid of this old ghost and make him completely disappear into thin air, never to cause any trouble again...

  After Song Jiang and Gu Hao separated, they followed the little paper crane around the building, but they didn't find any abnormal smell. Song Jiang even suspected that Duan Tiande had escaped through the sewer? Otherwise, how could he not find any trace of him?

Unexpectedly, just when the two of them and the little paper crane arrived at the entrance of the finance department on the 7th floor, the little paper crane that had just been flying normally suddenly fell to the ground without any warning and turned back into an ordinary paper crane... Seeing this, Song Jiang quickly ran over to pick up the paper crane and looked at it and said, "Could it be because it is too far away that Gu Hao's tracking technique is not working?"

Meng Zhe shook his head and said nothing. After carefully exploring the surroundings, he lowered his voice and said, "There is a very secret barrier here... If it weren't for this paper crane, I might have missed this area."

"Barrier? Who set it up? Is it to protect against people or ghosts!?" Song Jiang asked in surprise.

Meng Zhe thought for a moment and said, "From the looks of it... they are specifically guarding against us."
