Chapter 18: The Same Door
Chapter 18 The Same Door (Please continue reading)
After the danger in the room was resolved, the entire corridor temporarily returned to peace.
However, from the side, the sheer number of vengeful ghosts following Lu Ming was unsettling. Even though the mummified bride's ghost-summoning power meant these ghosts wouldn't kill anyone, it still sent chills down one's spine.
In this eerie atmosphere, the group followed Lin Luomei's instructions, turned right at the corner, and soon arrived at room number 13.
The door was half-open. After a slight hesitation, Yang Jian pushed the door open and went inside.
Lu Ming, who was leading the mummified bride, simply watched the scene quietly without saying a word to stop it.
Because he was still unsure whether the newspapers would make changes to the original arrangements after learning of his arrival.
If changes are made, then no matter how dangerous room number 13 may be, they will have to try to enter.
If the original plan and arrangements are not changed, then room number 13 should be harmless, and there should be no danger even if you push the door open.
Behind the door of room number 13, there was only pitch blackness, and nothing could be seen.
However, the people present were all ghost tamers who could control vengeful spirits, and under the influence of the supernatural, this level of darkness had no effect on them.
To Lu Ming's relief, the scene in room 13 was not much different from what he had expected, meaning that the newspaper ghost had not made any major changes to the original plan.
Russell followed cautiously behind Yang Jian, his mouth agape in surprise: "These...are all victims?"
In the darkness, there were only motionless figures.
These people were dressed in all sorts of clothes and moved in all sorts of different ways. The only thing they had in common was that they all looked extremely stiff and had no facial features. Under normal circumstances, they were obviously not going to survive.
"The ghost holding the newspaper probably doesn't have its own face, so it uses supernatural means to steal other people's faces... In this way, it can not only impersonate that person, but also steal that person's memories, and even completely replace their identity."
The thought of a ghost possessing its own consciousness, cleverly integrating into modern society, and remaining undetected sent chills down Yang Jian's spine.
In fact, the newspaper ghost did exactly that.
Yang Jian was initially influenced by the newspaper in the newspaper, and began to believe that the newspaper ghost was his long-dead father, and they lived in the same house.
Noticing that Yang Jian was still walking into the room, Xiong Wenwen nervously tugged at his sleeve.
"Yang Jian, what are you going to do? It feels very dangerous in there."
Yang Jian didn't care about this.
It's normal for a room like this, where the newspaper ghost specifically uses to store its body, to have an eerie atmosphere; if it's too ordinary, it will make him feel uneasy.
"I'm looking for a classmate."
Yang Jian refers to Zhao Lei. Since room 13 was used to store bodies, the faces of these bodies must be in room 31.
With the face and body separated for such a long time, most people would not survive.
Nevertheless, Yang Jian still felt he had to take Zhao Lei's body out of the city, at least back to Dachang City, and hand it over to Zhao Lei's parents, since he was one of the few remaining classmates he had.
In the room filled with the stench of corpses, Yang Jian walked around and, even without facial features, he still found Zhao Lei's body.
Unlike other corpses, this body was not cold; it had a faint body temperature, easily giving people the illusion that Zhao Lei could still be saved.
But Yang Jian knew that the body was still warm because the newspaper ghost hadn't abandoned it for too long. At this moment, a human face that didn't belong to him was crookedly pasted onto Zhao Lei's face, as if it had been sewn on by a mediocre tailor, which was extremely creepy.
Yang Jian's ghost eye on his forehead twitched, and with the supernatural power of the ghostly shadow, he tore off the unfamiliar face in a bloody manner.
Then, enveloped in red light, Zhao Lei's body vanished from the spot in an incomprehensible way.
“Let’s go to room 31. That’s where the ghosts and supernatural phenomena originate.”
···········
Afterwards, Lu Ming locked all the summoned ghosts back in their original rooms to prevent them from taking up any more of his summoning slots.
The non-existent corridor on the fourth floor of the Caesars Hotel seems to have been built by someone specifically to imprison these vengeful ghosts, with different rooms arranged for them.
However, for some unknown reason, this haunted place has lost its original balance in recent years. For example, the source of the ZS City human head balloon incident is in this hotel.
"Let's go to room 31."
With Lu Ming in the group, everyone felt much more at ease.
After all, both Xiong Wenwen and the three-person group from Dahai City had already witnessed Lu Ming's abilities.
In their eyes, Lu Ming was an extremely dangerous ghost tamer, but since they were now in a cooperative relationship, the situation was reversed. With Lu Ming's abilities, he could guarantee their safety even in such a supernatural place.
The next leg of the journey was not as terrifyingly dangerous as before. The only thing the group needed to be careful about was to use supernatural means to erase the marks they left on the carpet when they walked on it, so as not to let the tall male corpse wandering in the Caesars Hotel step on their footprints and trigger the inevitable killing pattern.
"Was the room filled with dead infants a contingency plan left by the newspaper ghost?"
Lu Ming frowned, sensing that things weren't that simple.
But the surrounding environment was perfectly normal, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"We still can't let our guard down. After all, that ghost's abilities are too bizarre. Even people affected by the blood-stained old newspapers don't realize that their memories have been altered."
The group continued deeper into the corridor until they came to an old wooden door.
A metal plaque hung in front of the door, with the number "31" written on it.
Unlike room number 13, the wooden door to room number 31 was tightly closed, seemingly resisting the intrusion of outsiders.
Yang Jian's ghost eye on his forehead darted around restlessly. After finding no evil spirits around, he placed his hand on the doorknob, preparing to forcefully break open the wooden door.
Just then, Xiong Wenwen noticed something, pointed to the side, and exclaimed, "There... there's another room, number 31..."
"You brat, what kind of joke are you making at a time like this? How could there possibly be..."
Russell swallowed back what he was about to say.
He was shocked to discover that the room next to Yang Jian also had the same metal plaque with the room number written on it.
Room 31.
