Chapter 209: Room Thirty-one
Hearing Guo Fan’s words, Feng Quan immediately stopped paying attention to everything in the Ghost Domain and instead looked solemnly in the direction Guo Fan pointed.
He saw a woman’s figure whose appearance was unclear but felt extremely vivid reflected in Feng Quan’s pupils.
His tense body and the increasingly dense Ghost Mist undoubtedly proved the tension in his heart at this moment.
After preparing to respond to the attack for more than ten seconds and confirming that he had not suffered any attack, Feng Quan unhesitatingly walked toward the direction of the woman’s figure that was about to disappear.
However, when he reached a right turn, he stopped.
Because after the right turn, there was no road ahead, only a window venting outward, and there was no room beside it at all.
“No road?”
Because the woman’s figure suddenly changed position, Guo Fan and Feng Quan, who were originally leading the way ahead, also switched positions similarly.
So at this moment, in front of him was Feng Quan’s back and the Ghost Mist-filled fog.
“The person is gone.” Feng Quan said in a heavy tone.
Guo Fan was also somewhat dumbfounded at this time. He couldn’t believe there was no road ahead, because he had clearly watched the woman walk here and kept moving forward.
“You saw it too. That woman suddenly disappeared from here. We could see her just now, but why can’t we see her now? Where did the problem occur?”
Guo Fan, who had come back to his senses, calmly analyzed. He began to recall the differences between now and before:
“Ghost Domain.”
Guo Fan suddenly discovered the only change that was different. Upon comparison, many people could easily spot the difference between before and now, so he immediately made a judgment.
Hearing the words Ghost Domain, Feng Quan instantly understood something:
There was indeed a road here, and there must be a road.
The only possible reason he couldn’t see that road was that he and Guo Fan were currently in the Ghost Domain.
That area should be a special space, and he could only step there after retracting the Ghost Domain.
“I understand. I’m going to retract the Ghost Domain now. Get ready to be attacked in a moment.” Feng Quan thought about it and still wanted to find a way to enter that nonexistent area.
After reminding Guo Fan, the gray misty fog began to dissipate rapidly.
A patch of darkness enveloped from nearby.
But similarly, the flashlight that couldn’t be used in the Ghost Domain restored its original brightness. When the flashlight shone ahead, the window that had been right in front of them disappeared.
In its place was a deep aisle.
A road that did not exist in the Hotel appeared so weirdly in front of Guo Fan and Feng Quan.
Standing at the entrance of this road was like standing at the entrance to Hell. An inexplicable chill had unknowingly enveloped his entire body.
Especially on both sides of this passage, with one closed room door after another, it exuded an inexplicable crisis everywhere, fearing that the room door would suddenly open when he walked in later, and some terrifying Supernatural would rush out.
“We are definitely not in the Caesar Grand Hotel now. This might be the secret of this hotel.”
Even in this unknown Supernatural Land, Feng Quan, who had lain in the Ghost Coffin for months and witnessed the terror of the Ghost Messenger, did not show excessive panic.
“Action.”
Feng Quan’s voice was low. Although he did not unfold the Ghost Domain, he wrapped his and Guo Fan’s bodies with Ghost Mist. This was his attempt to use the Ghost Domain to reduce the Fierce Ghost’s perception of himself.
Guo Fan did not object but checked the equipment he carried, because he knew experiencing a Supernatural Event would definitely encounter some unpredictable risks.
And similarly,
As long as the Pattern and Information among them were known.
The ways to Handle, Detain, and Control were also within the danger.
Crossing that taboo-like aisle line, stepping on the soft Carpet.
The surroundings were terribly quiet, without the slightest sound, only his heavy breathing echoing beside his ears.
Feng Quan, who did not see the woman’s figure, had now confirmed that the figure very much like Tong Qian was very likely the Ghost’s bait.
But even knowing that, what could he do?
Without any ideas or clues, even if it was a trap, he needed to step in to know the full picture of the trap.
How can one obtain the tiger’s cub without entering the tiger’s den?
Feng Quan reached out and touched the wall beside him, then put it to his nose and smelled it.
Very clean, no strange smell.
Clean to a terrifying degree, without a speck of dust, as if someone had been maintaining it all along. No strange smell meant no one had died in this aisle, at least not the kind with blood splattering and corpses torn apart, otherwise there would be some stains or odors left.
“We’re about to pass the first Guest Room door ahead.” Feng Quan and Guo Fan’s gazes sharpened at the same time, and the flashlight shifted toward the Guest Room.
“Have we triggered that Ghost’s Killing Pattern? If we did, that Ghost would definitely launch a Ghost Attack to kill us, but it hasn’t happened, so the Ghost’s purpose is to lure us into the rooms.”
“And those rooms are the Ghost’s Attack method?”
At this time, Guo Fan and Feng Quan did not choose to rashly proceed deeper.
Because of long-term dealings with Ghosts, the two were extremely sensitive to the Ghost’s abnormal actions. At this moment, they were pondering the next Action.
“Guo Fan, light that Red Ghost Candle now. In a moment, I’ll use the Ghost Domain to push open the first room door. If the Ghost Candle’s burning speed increases but not dramatically, we’ll rush in immediately.”
“Conversely, if the Ghost Candle burns violently or doesn’t burn at all, don’t hesitate—leave here immediately.” Feng Quan looked at Guo Fan with a serious expression and said.
“Yeah, I got it.”
With that, Guo Fan took out a Red Ghost Candle from his shoulder bag and lit it.
Because Feng Quan was not only a veteran Headquarters Person in Charge but also a Ghost Wielder who Controlled Two Ghosts, he naturally became the Dominant one between the two.
Looking at the eerie green Candlelight of the Ghost Candle, the Unease in their hearts eased somewhat.
After the Ghost Candle was lit, Feng Quan and Guo Fan soon arrived at the door of the first Guest Room.
The room door had an old European style, looking somewhat aged. Some of the wood paint on the door had peeled off. Besides that, a copper Room Number Plate hung at the top of the room door, with the number 31 written on it.
This indicated it was the thirty-first Guest Room here.
Although they didn’t know why the first room at the start of the Corridor was numbered not 1 but 31, Feng Quan and the others couldn’t care less at this moment.
“Here it comes.”
After Feng Quan whispered a reminder, a hazy pale fog instantly gathered in front of the room door, suddenly becoming solid at one moment.
And in this extremely dense fog, Guo Fan seemed to see a pale full-body, weirdly shaped human silhouette within it.
“Bang~!”
A loud bang sounded.
