Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 522 The Curse Taken Away

Yes, assuming that everything recorded in the notebook is true, there should also be a tenth person who has never been revealed. Perhaps he is the one manipulating everything behind the scenes, or perhaps the so-called tenth person is simply a ghost.

"Perhaps Zhang Xianguang killed the tenth person and took his share of the resurrection curse."

Li Yang expressed his thoughts.

"It is possible that Yang Chan, who was thrown into the hotel by force, could have such thoughts. Zhang Xianguang took the initiative to join the game. Maybe he had already done so."

Cao Yang closed his notebook. At this point, he had finished reading all seven notebooks on the table.

"It is also possible that after Zhang Xianguang left, Yang Chan killed another person."

Yang Jian thought about many situations, but now there is no way to prove these conjectures.

"Let's go to Room 10 next. Xianglan's notes mentioned that it is where information is recorded. Maybe there will be new discoveries there. And Room 10 is not too far from here."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian made a decision.

Cao Yang had no objection to this. He was willing to make this trip in order to eliminate as many hidden dangers as possible in this mysterious place, because it was inevitable that the Caesar Hotel would get out of control. If it was not dealt with now, it would only cause greater trouble in the future.

The three of them left Room 1 and moved deeper into the corridor, and soon located Room 10 near the intersection.

"Last time something strange happened in the hotel, all the doors of the rooms were opened. However, when I opened the door of Room 10, there was a wall behind the door. The real Room 10 had been moved."

This time it was Li Yang who was ready to open the door again. He could sense some things through the door as a medium, which was an ability that Yang Jian and Cao Yang did not possess.

"There's no danger anywhere nearby, and there shouldn't be anything behind the door."

Li Yang said in a deep voice.

However, for safety reasons, he chose to release the knocking curse.

After knocking on the door three times, Li Yang put his hand on the door handle and pushed the door open.

The layout of Room 10 is exactly the same as that of Room 1, simple, plain, and with a strong Republic of China style, except that the bed in this bedroom is opened, and there are several strange picture frames randomly placed on the ground.

There was a painting in the frame, and it showed the outline of a human figure, but there was no one in the picture, leaving only an empty background, which seemed a little wrong.

“It’s not a ghost painting.”

Yang Jian stretched out his ghost hand and touched one of the picture frames. It was cold and hard, like touching a piece of stone. However, what was certain was that these paintings were not ghost paintings, nor were they derivatives of ghost paintings.

"It seems we are too late. Someone has already taken the valuables from Room 10."

Cao Yang threw the picture frame on the bed and casually looked at other objects in the room, trying to find some useful clues.

"Let's go to room 101. That's where Xianglan was resurrected. If we are lucky enough to catch her resurrection, then it will be her bad luck."

There was no harvest in Room 10, but Yang Jian was somewhat mentally prepared. He had made some guesses last time, and this time it was directly confirmed.

"It's a bit boring. There are no people and no ghosts."

Cao Yang rubbed his sore eyes and said jokingly.

"There must be something fishy going on. Even though we set a big fire last time, it's impossible to burn all the ghosts in the hotel into silence, especially the ghost wandering on the third floor. It's more terrifying than a starving ghost."

Yang Jian didn't think it was a good thing that he didn't encounter ghosts. He was not afraid of the endless paranormal phenomena in the paranormal events. On the contrary, the quietness before the storm made people feel more depressed and uneasy. As the house numbers on both sides of the corridor became larger and larger, the three finally found room 101.

The rooms here are not distributed in order of house numbers, but are arranged in a random and irregular manner. The only thing that is certain is that the deeper you go, the bigger the numbers on the house numbers.

"The cursed person becomes the medium of the curse and must rely on a medium to peek into the truth of the room."

However, Xianglan was not there this time, and Yang Jian did not plan to wait for her to come back. Instead, he prepared to forcibly take away the part of the curse she was carrying.

"Provide me with the medium for the curse."

Yang Jian made a wish directly, and sticky ghost blood oozed out. The ghost eye on the palm of his hand was soon swallowed by the blood.

After a while, Yang Jian found that the ghost eye had changed in some way. He could see the truth of the room directly: the mottled and peeling old walls, the faded portraits, and the rotten dishes and chopsticks.
"Go straight to the bedroom."

Yang Jian followed his memory to the bedroom and found the strange tombstone. The words on the tombstone were unclear and seemed to be moving all the time. Even the ghost eyes could not see clearly. There was a body under the tombstone. It was the real Xianglan.

Without hesitation, Yang Jian directly lifted the tombstone so that the corpse was no longer pressed down.

Some kind of curse was cut off. Xianglan, who was still groping cautiously in the aisle, was stunned all over. Then her body quickly weathered and dissipated. Everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

Xianglan died, leaving nothing behind. Although the real her had long been a corpse, she could no longer be resurrected this time.

As Yang Jian took away the tombstone, the real Room 101 was revealed. Because the source of the curse had been restricted, the various supernatural phenomena derived from it would also disappear.

"Is this the truth about infinite resurrection?"

Cao Yang saw the gray tombstone in Yang Jian's hand. It was very large, but it was still picked up by Yang Jian's ghost hand. Even the curse on it was suppressed by the ghost hand.

"A spiritual power is too weak. It can revive an ordinary person like Xianglan, but it will definitely not have the same effect if used on me."

Yang Jian said.

How powerful can a ghost be if it can be suppressed by a ghost hand?
"Next, go to room 301 and take away the curse that will revive Zhu Jian."

Compared to Room 101, Room 301 is already a relatively deep place. The three of them encountered evil spirits along the way, but as soon as Cao Yang used his carrying pole, the evil spirits instantly became obedient.

No near misses.

With previous experience, this time Yang Jian only took two minutes to remove the curse in Room 301. It was the same tombstone, and the writing was also unclear.

Meanwhile, on the other side, room 120.

Zhu Jian, Dong Yulan and Wang Genquan were all hiding in this room, seemingly discussing something.

However, at this moment, Zhu Jian's body suddenly stiffened, and then his entire body suddenly weathered away without leaving any trace.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Dong Yulan's face was filled with horror, Room 120 was a safe house that they had jointly snatched from the evil spirit, but they watched Zhu Jian die and disappear.

"Go to room 301 and find the resurrected Akemi. We can't carry out that plan with just the two of us."

Wang Genquan spoke solemnly, holding a pipe in his mouth.
