Chapter 213: I Have Ten Thousand Ways To Make You Come Out
Not long after Feng Quan was attacked by the Newspaper Ghost and Guo Fan was replaced by the spirit tablet, Jiang Shan, who had been smoking at the second floor staircase entrance blocked by Li Qingzhi’s corpse, suddenly received a call from Feng Quan.
Because Jiang Shan wanted to ensure that in the future, at least one of him and Yang Jian could become a god, he did not want to interfere too much with Yang Jian’s “path to becoming a god.”
Even if he now perhaps already had the possibility to clash with Zhang Qingzhi’s corpse.
But considering that aside from that cleaver capable of dismembering a fierce ghost, the benefits he could obtain were really not many, and plus the reason of not wanting to affect Yang Jian becoming a god.
Jiang Shan, who had already confirmed the Newspaper Ghost was in the Caesar Grand Hotel, was not anxious, nor did he fight Li Qingzhi to force his way upstairs, but chose to quietly wait for Li Qingzhi’s corpse to leave.
But now the call from Feng Quan made him frown.
“Didn’t it say before that Feng Quan’s phone had no signal? Could it have recovered? No, that’s not very possible. It seems this phone has a big problem.”
Jiang Shan stared intently at the buzzing phone.
If there was no supernatural interference, then a satellite phone would absolutely not have no signal.
He clearly remembered that in the original work, the Caesar Grand Hotel did not have a situation where the satellite phone had no signal.
This means,
An unknown ghost has appeared in this hotel.
And without detaining this ghost, the supernatural interfering with the signal will not disappear.
Whether it was the Newspaper Ghost or the piano supernatural that played after the music box was played, Jiang Shan did not believe that Feng Quan and Guo Fan could solve the terrifying fierce ghost detained in the fourth floor room of the Caesar Grand Hotel.
Therefore, he determined that this call from Feng Quan definitely had a problem.
As for what the problem was, he would only know after answering it.
“Jiang Shan, you’ve also come to this hotel, huh? Do you plan to just leave like this?” As soon as he answered, Feng Quan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, his voice a bit strange, seeming somewhat weak and powerless.
Before Jiang Shan could speak, Feng Quan continued: “My condition is a bit bad, take me away. You don’t want me to die here and increase one more ghost later.”
“Mm-hmm.” Jiang Shan’s gaze shifted slightly without answering. He checked the positioning and indeed saw Feng Quan’s positioning information in some place on the fourth floor.
“Fourth floor? Looks like it’s getting interesting.”
“Feng Quan, you should be dead.” Jiang Shan spoke into the phone, looking at Li Qingzhi who had not yet left, and replied flatly.
Feng Quan’s voice continued: “I know you have a grudge against me. I did nearly die, but I luckily survived. Guo Fan has already fallen. That ghost is very terrifying. Perhaps only you can detain it.”
“Minister Zhao called me just now, but it was too late. Then I paid attention to your positioning, but unfortunately, I was in a place without signal at that time. Now I’ve escaped from there. Although my mobile phone has recovered signal, my condition is already very bad. I hope you can save me for the sake of headquarters.”
Feng Quan’s words were very sincere, but Jiang Shan remained unmoved.
He knew the general abilities of the Newspaper Ghost. Once this ghost with wisdom that can alter others’ memories disappears, everyone except himself could become the ghost’s tool.
Even though Jiang Shan was not afraid of the Newspaper Ghost at all now, he did not want to be inexplicably attacked.
Moreover, the consequences of previously using the Dead Face Ghost’s ghost domain to cover half a province— the balance in Jiang Shan’s body had not fully recovered yet, which was also why he did not use ghost domain to travel.
And now Feng Quan pulls this stunt?
“This means you also know about that ghost? Then I have every reason to suspect that you have already been influenced by that ghost’s supernatural, setting a trap for me, so I refuse to save you.”
Jiang Shan indifferently smoked, his voice carrying deep coldness.
Just as Feng Quan’s voice had just sounded, another voice from headquarters’ Zhao Jianguo interrupted from Jiang Shan’s phone:
“Jiang Shan, this is Zhao Jianguo. I hope you can immediately take Feng Quan and withdraw. ZS City’s person in charge Tong Qian has been confirmed dead. Guo Fan’s condition is very bad and he has lost action capability.”
“The supernatural event in the Caesar Grand Hotel has now been declared over. Headquarters can no longer afford to lose any more people in charge. As long as you can save Feng Quan and Guo Fan, I will immediately apply to headquarters and definitely give you and the branch sufficient satisfactory rewards.”
Even after hearing Zhao Jianguo’s words, Jiang Shan’s inner thoughts remained completely unshaken.
He now strongly suspected that Feng Quan had been eroded by the Newspaper Ghost, and from Feng Quan’s call just now, he could not help but associate it with the original work where Zhao Jianguo’s mistaken decision led to the liaison officer’s tragic death.
“Forget about rewards for now. I have only one request. I heard footsteps on Feng Quan’s side from the phone. It seems his condition is not that bad. Either he goes to Guo Fan’s room to wait for me, or let headquarters send someone else to save him.”
Looking at Feng Quan’s unmoving positioning, Jiang Shan had already guessed which room he was in now.
The method he proposed, not wanting to step into a pit, was not only to test Feng Quan but also to test Zhao Jianguo.
If both Zhao Jianguo and Feng Quan had been attacked by the Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural, then their interests at this time were aligned. Although what the Newspaper Ghost wanted to do to him through Feng Quan was unknown for now.
But under the circumstance where both sides knew the information, for the Newspaper Ghost to openly set this trap, it must have a possibility of killing him.
And Jiang Shan did not want to capsize in the gutter. Even if the Newspaper Ghost’s terror level was not high, but for this kind of ghost with wisdom.
Caution and carefulness are always the safest decisions.
After all, no one knows what kind of methods it might have waiting for him.
Be decisive when it is time to be decisive.
But be cautious when caution is needed.
This was also why Jiang Shan wanted Feng Quan to go to the room where Guo Fan’s current positioning was to wait for him.
As long as he was not in that room exclusive to the Newspaper Ghost, Jiang Shan did not think it could cause any waves.
According to his judgment:
At this time, Feng Quan had not even been chopped by Li Qingzhi’s knife, and there were even footsteps from his movement on the phone side.
And in the original work, the room where Guo Fan swapped with the ghost in the spirit tablet also had no ghost present, otherwise Zhong Shan could not have saved him so easily.
So if Feng Quan was really not influenced by the Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural, then at this moment he should be lost in the fourth floor’s supernatural space.
“If Feng Quan has no problem, he will definitely accept this proposal. Although there is some danger, they know that only I can save them now. But if Feng Quan has been invaded by the Newspaper Ghost, he definitely will not leave that room.”
Jiang Shan figured everything out in just over ten seconds. Now he only needed to hear these two people’s responses to judge the accurate information.
“I know the situation in this hotel is complicated now, but the more so, the more we must ensure you are all safe. You are now the only one capable of saving Feng Quan and Guo Fan. I hope you won’t refuse to rescue him because of a little personal grudge with Feng Quan. The situation on Guo Fan’s side is unknown. Once Feng Quan encounters a fierce ghost, the possibility of his death is very high.”
Zhao Jianguo’s tone carried a hint of anxiety, and right after he finished speaking, Feng Quan’s voice immediately followed from the phone:
“Minister Jiang, Guo Fan lost contact with me twenty minutes ago. It’s uncertain if there are ghosts wandering around his current positioning location. My condition is very bad and I can no longer use the fierce ghost’s power.”
Hearing the nearly identical words from Feng Quan and Zhao Jianguo, Jiang Shan sneered inwardly. He had already determined that these two had had their memories altered by the Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural.
Feng Quan was even more likely to have already become the Newspaper Ghost.
Because if he did not know that the ghost Guo Fan controlled was that spirit tablet, he might have believed these two.
But Jiang Shan knew,
Even after swapping consciousness with the ghost in the spirit tablet, Guo Fan could still make sounds, so Zhao Jianguo could not possibly not know if there were ghosts wandering nearby.
Feng Quan and Zhao Jianguo wanted to induce him to rescue them separately through information asymmetry.
“Want to play information asymmetry? Unfortunately, I am a transmigrator. Just another type of ghost that can be killed.”
Listening to the heavy breathing from the other end of the phone, Jiang Shan’s eyes were ice-cold. He picked up the phone and said flatly:
“Feng Quan, are you Yang Xiaotian now? Or the Newspaper Ghost? You don’t want to leave that room, right? No problem, I have ten thousand ways to make you roll out from there.”
