Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 523: Confrontation in Room 501

"Walk."

Dong Yulan did not dare to hesitate. The ghost could kill Zhu Jian from a distance, and could also kill herself and Wang Genquan at any time, because no one could guarantee whether they would trigger the killing pattern at a certain moment.

Room 120 is some distance away from Room 301 where Zhu Jian was resurrected. When Dong Yulan and Wang Genquan arrived, Cao Yang and his group had already left, leaving only a shabby but real old room.

"No, Room 301 wasn't originally like this."

Wang Genquan scanned the room: old, dilapidated, and full of a decayed and mottled historical atmosphere, it was different from any other room here.

"Someone else has been in this room."

Wang Genquan shook the ashes from his pipe onto the ground. The gray ashes moved without wind and quickly covered the floor of the room as if endless. However, there were some places that were not occupied by the ashes, and those empty outlines formed a series of footprints.

"There are at least three of them."

Dong Yulan identified the footprints and quickly made a judgment.

"After they entered the room, they headed for the bedroom."

Following the footprints, the two came to the bedroom of Room 301.

Like the living room, the bedroom was also in a dilapidated state. There was not even a bed. There was only a corpse with an unclear face lying motionless on the ground, and the corpse was rotting and weathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's Akemi's body."

Wang Genquan recognized the clothes on the corpse and it was indeed Zhu Jian.

"If Zhu Jian died again after being resurrected, he should have been resurrected again in this room, but the fact is that he was not resurrected, and the curse was broken. It is very likely that those intruders did it."

Wang Genquan took a deep puff of his pipe, and sadness spread across his wrinkled old face.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Dong Yulan was stunned for a moment, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze at this moment. The consequences of being deprived of the curse have been clearly shown. No one knows what the purpose of those intruders is, and whether they will choose to rob other people's curses after depriving Zhu Jian of his curse.

The atmosphere suddenly reached a freezing point. Dong Yulan and Wang Gen both fell silent. The crisis this time was more terrifying than any previous encounter with evil spirits.

On the other side, Cao Yang and the other two who left Room 301 did not stop, but continued to go deeper. They were looking for Room 501, the room where Dong Yulan was resurrected.

"Captain, the rooms where those people were resurrected are all in a certain pattern. Xianglan was in 101, Zhu Jian was in 301, and Dong Yulan was in 501. I don't think this is a coincidence. Maybe the other five cursed people were resurrected in 201, 401, and 601, or even 901 or 1001."

Li Yang, who was walking at the end, suddenly said.

"I know, but the most urgent task is to take back the curse from those known people. You can go into the rooms you mentioned on the way back."

Yang Jian said.

Room 501 is already located relatively deep in the cave. The three of them passed by at least five or six intersections before they finally found this room.

Room 501 looked no different from the other rooms from the outside, except for a few words smeared in scarlet blood on the door:

"No one is allowed to enter, there are evil spirits inside!"

The bloodstains left long marks, which looked quite hideous and terrifying.

"interesting."

This time it was Cao Yang who opened the door. Even more sticky ghost blood oozed out of his palms, and he wiped off the bloodstains on the door almost instantly.

However, like Yang Jian, Cao Yang never had the habit of knocking on the door, but instead kicked the door open.

"Stop, who are you and why are you breaking into my room!" At this moment, Dong Yulan and Wang Genquan finally arrived and asked angrily.

"your room?"

Yang Jian sneered and didn't take Dong Yulan's words to heart.

"One more step and you'll die."

Li Yang took a step forward and stood in front of Dong Yulan and Wang Genquan.

"Go and get rid of the curse, why bother with a bunch of poor dying people."

Cao Yang's cold words made Wang Genquan more certain of his inner guess that these people in front of him were here to completely destroy his hope.

"If you stop me again, I'm going to do it."

Dong Yulan spoke in a firm tone, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was feeling guilty. Li Yang was the real captain, not someone she, a poor creature who was still frightened by encountering an evil spirit, could commit fraud against.

"I told you that if you take another step forward, you will die. I don't mind if you want to do it, but I can guarantee that you will die miserably."

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

Li Yang did not underestimate this ordinary ghost rider in front of him. He was very clear about his weaknesses, so he was always on guard against Dong Yulan.

"Wang Genquan, if you don't help me, you will be the next one to die. These people are clearly trying to completely cut off our escape route."

Dong Yulan was scared. Although they hadn't fought yet, she already knew that Li Yang was very strong and she had absolutely no chance of winning by herself.

"No need for that. I've had enough of this reincarnation-like life day after day. For the past few decades, I thought this was my fate, but the appearance of these people told me that the curse can be broken, but it requires a huge price."

"They knew about the existence of the curse, and they also knew how to remove it. We had already lost from the beginning. Although the curse chose us, we never really chose the curse."

Wang Genquan seemed to have seen through everything. He did not agree to join Dong Yulan in attacking Li Yang. Instead, he leaned casually against the wall, smoking the last cigarette of his life.

"You are quite conscious, old man. It's a relief."

Cao Yang smiled. It was his first time dealing with this group of people and Wang Genquan left a good impression on him.

"You are all powerful characters from outside. Unlike us, you have been constantly resurrected and tried and failed again and again. But even so, no one among us can compare to you."

"This is a gap, we have to acknowledge it."

Wang Genquan blew out smoke rings and spoke seriously.

"Tell me what's in rooms 201, 401, 601, and 901, and you won't have to die."

Cao Yang said.

"Who knows? He may be as unlucky as us. But I heard there are ten people like us. I only know five of them. Maybe the other five live in those rooms."

"You've been trapped here for so long, haven't you ever checked those rooms?"

"Maybe they went there, but died and left no message. Maybe they left a message, but died later and don't remember the room where they left it."

Although Wang Genquan did not lie, his tone was not good.

"That's right. We can keep you alive and let you serve as a vanguard to help us find out what's in those rooms. You can be resurrected after you die anyway. We just need to save this part of the curse on you and peel it off at the end."

"Don't tell me, you might run into Room 801 on the way to Room 601."
