Chapter 208: Feng Quan And Guo Fan’s Actions
Just as Jiang Shan was preparing to head to the fourth floor but chose to wait after being blocked by Li Qingzhi’s corpse.
Caesar Grand Hotel.
Fourth Floor.
This was the floor where danger gathered, and it was also confirmed to have a ghost appearing.
Just standing at the stairwell on the fourth floor, Guo Fan already felt an immense pressure.
Looking at the pitch-black corridor ahead, timid people would directly tremble uncontrollably, as if once they walked in, they would never be able to come out alive.
“Feng Quan, did you just see someone walk past here? Look quickly, right there!”
Feng Quan, who was exploring the fourth floor, suddenly tensed up. Borrowing the dim lights from the flashlight, he looked gravely toward a certain corner of the corridor.
Only to see on the corridor not far from the two of them, a woman’s graceful figure becoming increasingly blurry under the dim light and shadow.
Even though Guo Fan deliberately did not lower his voice but spoke loudly, the woman acted as if she hadn’t heard and continued walking toward the darkness deep in the corridor on her own.
“Mm, I saw it too.” Feng Quan replied in a heavy voice.
Guo Fan immediately followed up: “What do we do, chase or continue exploring this floor, or leave here and wait for aid? My suggestion is to leave temporarily for now; the satellite phone can’t receive any signal at all. If we fail, there’s a high probability we’ll die here.”
Hearing Guo Fan’s words, Feng Quan frowned tightly; he was hesitating at the moment.
Because ever since the two of them entered this hotel, he had always felt a vague sense of crisis, but throughout, they hadn’t encountered any supernatural events.
The weird calmness always made him feel unease in his heart.
And this was why from the moment they entered the hotel, for a full three hours, they had no clues at all, not even seeing a single ghost.
“Chase, we must chase. Don’t you understand the situation at headquarters and Zhao Jianguo’s intention? Unless we die here, headquarters absolutely won’t send anyone to support us.”
“Moreover, even if the source of the ‘Human Head Balloon event’ is this hotel, at least this hotel hasn’t completely lost control yet. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had such smooth sailing all the way. That person is very likely Tong Qian; if we can find her, perhaps we can completely handle this event.”
Feng Quan calmly analyzed the situation the two of them were facing now.
“Go!”
Guo Fan, with his brows tightly furrowed, was very unwilling in his heart at the moment, but he also knew:
If they could find Tong Qian, then their action objective would be considered complete. If they could use Tong Qian’s information to solve the supernatural event in ZS City, it would be icing on the cake for him.
He would have a better chance of getting nominated for the plan to control a second ghost.
Feng Quan and Guo Fan exchanged glances to confirm with each other, then chased after without hesitation.
Dull footsteps echoed in the corridor on the fourth floor.
This was the unique sound that sneakers could make when deliberately walking on the front soles.
“I’ll use Ghost Mist to observe the surroundings; you lead the way.” Seeing the woman’s figure becoming increasingly blurry, Feng Quan first checked his equipment to confirm no mistakes, then released the Ghost Mist.
“Good.” Guo Fan said.
As soon as the words fell.
A thick mist enveloped the two of them. From afar, only their outlines could be seen; as for the two inside the mist, the decorations on the walls, and other details, all were covered by the thick mist, impossible to discern.
Ordinary mist is formed by condensed water vapor, but this mist was more like a haze—chilling, thick and heavy. Once inside, it was gray and hazy, not the pure white mist seen from outside, and both vision and hearing were severely restricted, as if entering the mist isolated one from the world.
Not just sound and sight—even sense of direction would be lost.
To prevent the woman’s figure ahead from being a ghost’s bait, Feng Quan wanted to use Ghost Mist to block the ghost’s perception and prevent certain inexplicable attacks.
But while using Ghost Mist to observe the surroundings, it was hard for him to divert attention to other things. This was because the nature of Ghost Mist differed from Yang Jian’s Ghost Eye and Jiang Shan’s Dead Face Ghost’s “light Ghost Domain.”
Whether Yang Jian or Jiang Shan, in the red light or silver light, they could perceive everything in the Ghost Domain anytime and comprehensively.
With a shift of mind,
With consciousness present.
But the nature of Ghost Mist was vastly different. Wherever the Ghost Mist covered, Feng Quan could clearly perceive every place within it. The massive passively acquired information made it hard for him to use his own senses to perceive the actual scenes around.
To prevent his perception from being affected by supernatural influence leading to wrong judgments, Feng Quan handed the leading task to Guo Fan.
Although the two didn’t know each other well, having only met a few times and knowing each other’s abilities.
But in this situation, both Feng Quan and Guo Fan trusted each other greatly; after all, the two were now in the same boat.
One prospers, all prosper,
One suffers, all suffer.
“Keep going straight ahead.” Guo Fan, standing to the side of Feng Quan, directed.
Feng Quan didn’t speak; he didn’t use Ghost Domain ability to directly transfer position but chose to walk step by step forward, so he could handle sudden situations.
“Turn left.” Guo Fan immediately headed to the left.
He passed the first guest room door with the number 001 on it.
“Hm? Something’s off! How can there be a room numbered 001 on the fourth floor of this hotel?” Guo Fan was stunned the moment he saw the room number on the door inside Caesar Grand Hotel.
He had investigated Caesar Grand Hotel before entering; the fourth floor was indeed guest rooms, but as far as he knew, the guest room numbers on the fourth floor all started with four, like 40-something.
How could they start from 001?
“This absolutely isn’t a room number from Caesar Grand Hotel.” Guo Fan’s heart sank immediately.
“Didn’t Feng Quan notice anything unusual? Or did he confirm it’s fine, so he didn’t speak to remind me?”
Stopping his steps and looking at Feng Quan following behind him, that mist like water or clouds was similarly around him.
“We should no longer be in the hotel corridor now, but have arrived at an unknown place. There are no abnormalities around for the time being, but don’t relax your vigilance.” Feng Quan said calmly.
After seeing Guo Fan stop, he guessed what was on his mind, so he gave this explanation.
Guo Fan’s eyes sharpened as he replied: “Got it.”
Though the weird change made the two uneasy in their hearts, they couldn’t just leave now.
What was originally clueless now finally had some leads. If they chose to withdraw just because of certain danger, they couldn’t solve any supernatural event, and this wasn’t the person in charge’s style either.
“That woman changed position; she’s now on your right, Feng Quan!”
