Li Zhuiyuan, a corpse retriever, travels through a mysterious resurrection.

In the darkness, the sound of slow, steady footsteps gradually rose, heading towards the restroom.

Yang Jian started to get nervous. Everyone had just run to the fifth floor, and now, apart from them in the restroom, there shouldn't be anyone else on the first floor.

Moreover, everyone knows this place is haunted, so no one would be brave enough to walk outside alone.

"Brother Xiaoyuan is right, only ghosts will come." Yang Jian immediately covered Jiang Yan's mouth to prevent her from making a sound.

He then lowered his voice as much as possible and asked, "Brother Xiao Yuan, what do we do now?"

"We don't know how dangerous this ghost is right now. It would be irrational to use the ghost's power to fight it rashly. We need to figure out the pattern of its killings." Li Zhuiyuan's calm voice echoed in the bathroom, easing Yang Jian's tense heart.

"We've been in the restroom for a while now, and we hadn't attracted any evil spirits before. But now that they've appeared, it means that one of us triggered the evil spirit's killing pattern." Li Zhuiyuan asked, "What did you all do just now?"

Yang Jian said, somewhat confused, "I brought the food in and gave it to this auntie right away. I didn't do anything else."

Jiang Yan's mouth was covered, and she could only make muffled noises.

"Turn around?" Li Zhuiyuan glanced back and found that Yang Jian was facing away from the outside of the toilet.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "Yang Jian, turn around and face the outside of the toilet."

Yang Jian didn't understand the reason, but he didn't hesitate at all and immediately got up and did as he was told.

Jiang Yan was frightened and quickly covered her mouth, her face filled with terror.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, the footsteps have stopped." Yang Jian was pleasantly surprised.

"Turn back again," Li Zhuiyuan said.

Yang Jian turned around and faced away from the outside.

The unhurried footsteps approached again.

"Now that we've come back to the point, I know the ghost's killing pattern," Li Zhuiyuan said calmly.

Yang Jian turned back, listening to the footsteps fading away outside the restroom, a happy look on his face.

Although he was not as intelligent as Li Zhuiyuan, after such an operation, if he still didn't understand the ghost's killing pattern, he would have died in No. 7 Middle School before.

"We can't turn our backs on the ghost, Brother Xiaoyuan, what do we do next?" Yang Jian walked to Li Zhuiyuan's side, looking at Li Zhuiyuan with shock in his eyes.

Yang Jian was once again impressed by Li Zhuiyuan's wisdom, as he keenly sensed the difference through Li Zhuiyuan's words and then probed the murder pattern of the vengeful ghost.

This person is incredibly intelligent.

"The roles have reversed. Now that we know this ghost's killing patterns, it's our turn to go find him," Li Zhuiyuan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan rushed over and grabbed Yang Jian's arm tightly: "You're going to actively seek out ghosts? That's too dangerous! Why don't we stay in the bathroom and wait for someone to rescue us?"

As Yang Jian felt the touch on his arm, he became somewhat distracted. He shook his head to regain his composure, inwardly marveling at the terrifying power of women.

In the shopping mall haunted by ghosts, he was actually distracted by the attractive aunt next to him, who had slender legs and a large bust.

"I came here to deal with the vengeful ghost and make money. If I stay in the toilet and don't come out, who will I ask for money if Boss Tang dies?" Yang Jian said, "If you want to hide, you can stay in the toilet. I will let you know after I deal with the vengeful ghost."

"No, I want to stay with you!" Jiang Yan moved even closer. She realized that these two people were not ordinary, and only by following them could she have a chance to survive.

"Do whatever you want, just don't bother us." Li Zhuiyuan said indifferently, "Liu Qiang is a ghost, and Wei Xiaohong is a ghost too. This ghost can change identities. There aren't many people in the mall right now. Apart from us, everyone should be with Boss Tang."

"Among those people upstairs, there must be one who is a real ghost. We need to confirm the ghost's identity now. Go to the monitoring room and find out who else was killed by the ghost."

Yesterday, led by Liu Qiang, they strolled around the mall, and Li Zhuiyuan memorized the layout of the entire mall.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the monitoring room.

Unlike the dimly lit mall, the monitoring room was open and lit, clearly indicating that someone was inside.

"Be careful, there's a stench of corpses inside," Li Zhuiyuan warned the two.

He walked at the very front, ready to unleash the power of the vengeful spirit at any moment.

Yang Jian's Ghost Eye is facing resurgence, and every time he uses it, he is shortening his life. As for that woman named Jiang Yan, there's no hope for her; she's just an ordinary person.

After merging with the ghost infant, his condition was surprisingly good, and he has not been affected in any way so far.

When the three of them walked in, one of them was already sitting in front of the monitoring station, motionless.

By looking at his profile, Li Zhuiyuan recognized him as the young security guard, Liu Qiang.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, is he a ghost now?" Yang Jian asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yan, who was following behind Yang Jian, suddenly shrank her neck. Could the security guard in front of her be a ghost?

She quickly hid herself behind Yang Jian.

"No," Li Zhuiyuan said calmly, "I didn't feel like I was being spied on. The ghost isn't with Liu Qiang."

"Li Zhuiyuan, Yang Jian, what are you doing in the monitoring room?" Liu Qiang turned around and looked at them when he heard Li Zhuiyuan's voice.

Li Zhuiyuan did not answer, but instead narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't yet know how terrifying the ghost in the mall was, so he wouldn't easily confront it.

Although Liu Qiang in front of me is not a ghost, he is a person controlled by the supernatural, which can be used to test the strength of the vengeful ghost power he has mastered after fusing with the ghost infant.

In an instant, Li Zhuiyuan's pupils turned into a strange and sinister pitch black.

A terrifying bluish-black color spread from beneath his skin, making the boy resemble a vengeful ghost at that moment.

"Li Zhuiyuan, you..." Liu Qiang looked terrified, not understanding why Li Zhuiyuan had become like this.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't want to waste words. He rushed to Liu Qiang and reached out his dark blue hand to grab him.

Strangely, Liu Qiang didn't make any dodging movement. He seemed to be stunned, sitting blankly in the chair, waiting for Li Zhuiyuan to come over.

The moment his hand lightly touched the young security guard's shoulder, Liu Qiang seemed to be hit with a huge shock.

His body shook violently, and he lost his head.

After the head fell onto the monitoring station, it rolled to a corner.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yan peeked over Yang Jian's shoulder and saw a scene that terrified her.

The boy who brought her to the monitoring room turned into a vengeful ghost with bluish-black skin and pitch-black pupils. The body that the ghostly hand was pressing down on was headless.

Before Jiang Yan could shout, Yang Jian had already covered her mouth.

"Don't shout." Yang Jian said helplessly. He knew what would happen when he noticed Jiang Yan peeking out.

"This is a vengeful ghost controlled by Brother Yuan. Only a ghost can fight a ghost. That's how people like us use the power of vengeful ghosts—living in a state between being neither human nor ghost. Look at the security guard's head; how come there's not a drop of blood on it when he's headless?"

Jiang Yan glanced at it a few times, then nodded and blinked to indicate that she understood.

"It seems that 'big breasts, no brains' isn't entirely true." Seeing that Jiang Yan had regained her composure, Yang Jian withdrew his hand.

"Yang Jian, come and take a look." Li Zhuiyuan ignored Jiang Yan's reaction. His appearance had returned to normal. He quickly watched the surveillance videos from the past few days and pointed at the screen.
