Chapter 214: Trap In The Room
Feng Quan’s distress call allowed Jiang Shan to confirm that his and Zhao Jianguo’s memories had been altered by the Newspaper Ghost, and he even believed that the current Feng Quan was the Newspaper Ghost!
Since he knew the specific situation of the two, Jiang Shan had already figured out what to do next.
Although the Newspaper Ghost in the original work was easily detained by Yang Jian.
But there were many doubts in it, and after all, the current Newspaper Ghost carried Yang Xiaotian’s memory.
So after learning that Feng Quan was unwilling to leave Room Thirty-One, Jiang Shan vaguely felt that there was likely some supernatural power in that room that could threaten him.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Hearing the “beep beep” sound from the phone, Jiang Shan found that the satellite phone’s signal suddenly disappeared again, and the supernatural interference emitted by a certain ghost once again disrupted the satellite phone’s signal.
This action undoubtedly meant that both sides’ identities had been revealed, so there was no need for him to hide anymore.
Glancing at the coordinates of Feng Quan displayed on the phone, Jiang Shan remained calm, with no trace of anxiety in his heart.
The Caesar Grand Hotel at this time period had not yet fallen into a state of complete loss of control.
In other words,
Except for the rooms on the fourth floor and the Li Qingzhi corpse in front of him, there were no other ghosts here that could threaten his safety.
What Jiang Shan needed to do now was to wait for Zhang Qingzhi’s corpse to leave on its own, then he would go to the fourth floor to see what kind of trap the Newspaper Ghost controlling Feng Quan’s body had set for him in Room Thirty-One.
Because the room where the Newspaper Ghost was located did not exist in reality, but in a weird supernatural space.
So Jiang Shan was not worried that the Newspaper Ghost would quietly leave.
Moreover, the only stairs were right in front of him.
Jiang Shan, who had spent so much time and effort to control the Newspaper Ghost, would absolutely not let the Newspaper Ghost escape from under his nose.
The deathly still and weird stairs.
Next to the stairs, the headless male corpse stood stiffly not far away, holding a worn cleaver like a corpse coming back to life.
If a normal person stayed here, the supernatural aura emanating from Li Qingzhi’s corpse would be enough to scare them insane within a few hours.
Regardless of courage or physical fitness.
Under the erosion of invisible supernatural power, an ordinary person’s physical and mental defenses would gradually weaken and collapse due to endless, instinctual fear.
A ghost’s terror is not only reflected in its killing pattern and attack methods.
In this environment, Jiang Shan sat at the stair entrance and quietly waited for about an hour.
Watching the headless male corpse walk toward another corridor on the second floor, he extinguished the cigarette butt and immediately headed to the fourth floor.
He soon arrived at the fourth floor.
Looking at the slightly weird hotel rooms around, although the eerie atmosphere would make one feel a trace of unease, Jiang Shan knew that this was not the passage leading to countless supernatural rooms.
“Trouble.”
Looking at the intricate hotel structure, Jiang Shan frowned slightly, then lit another cigarette.
Immediately after, a shining silver light began to spread through the corridor.
Without activating the Ghost Domain ability, the sixth layer’s even stronger Ghost Domain was enough to reveal many supernatural spaces that did not exist in reality.
“Found it.”
Sure enough, at a certain dead corner window in the fourth floor corridor, even under the silver light, a pitch-black and deep walkway appeared.
The moment he discovered this walkway, Jiang Shan’s figure appeared there.
Looking at the dim and deep road in front of him, Jiang Shan remained calm. He unhurriedly took out a specially made flashlight from the Ghost Mirror Shard.
This flashlight could maintain uninterrupted lighting in strong light mode for ten days, which was a kind of black technology.
Because there were unknown supernatural elements and fierce ghosts in the rooms on both sides of this walkway, to prevent the Ghost Domain’s supernatural from triggering the ghost’s instinctual counterattack, Jiang Shan did not want to ask for trouble, so he prepared in advance to use the flashlight for lighting.
“Tap tap. Tap.”
Crisp footsteps echoed in this weird and terrifying walkway.
Using the flashlight’s light, Jiang Shan was moving toward the guest room direction.
Soon he arrived at the door of the first guest room.
The room door had an old European style, looking somewhat aged, with some wood paint peeling off. Above the room door hung a copper room number plate with the number: 1.
“Hm? Something’s off. This room’s room door and room number plate don’t seem right.”
Jiang Shan, who was about to leave, suddenly noticed that for the room with the room number one, although its room door looked like a relatively old but complete wooden door.
But upon closer inspection, he still found extremely small dents on this wooden door, as if someone had tried to break it open with external force.
Apart from Tong Qian, Feng Quan, and Guo Fan who had entered before Jiang Shan, no other Ghost Wielders had participated in this supernatural event at the Caesar Grand Hotel.
Tong Qian’s Ghost Face and Guo Fan’s Spirit Tablet definitely could not have caused this effect.
So the only one who could have left marks on this door was one person:
Feng Quan!
“Not only that, the position of the number on the room number plate is very strange. If this room is number one, then this number one should be centered, not slightly to the right. Although the deviation is small, supernatural events have patterns, and normally this situation would absolutely not occur.”
Sensing the weirdness of this first room, Jiang Shan’s eyes narrowed.
The next second,
Jiang Shan’s right foot seemed wrapped in a layer of viscous fresh blood, and he unhesitatingly kicked toward the room door in front of him.
“Bang~!”
After becoming an anomaly, Jiang Shan’s physical fitness was no longer in the human category. With the Ghost Characters supernatural in this kick, let alone this room door.
As long as the Ghost Characters’ suppression power was sufficient, he even felt he could kick over that ghost taxi that attacked Yang Jian’s team.
The moment the wooden door was kicked open.
Following the dim yellow lights in the room, Jiang Shan finally saw everything inside clearly.
Feng Quan stood in the center of the room with a face full of shock, seemingly stunned by Jiang Shan’s forced entry.
Just looking at Feng Quan’s facial expression, one couldn’t sense any weirdness at all. It was as if he hadn’t been controlled by the Newspaper Ghost as Jiang Shan had guessed.
Unfortunately.
If he hadn’t taken off his face and placed it on a blood-red newspaper at this moment, Jiang Shan might not have had such suspicions.
And looking at the weird scene on the walls around Feng Quan, it was indeed as he had expected.
In the not-so-large room, every wall was plastered with old newspapers covered in bloodstains, and in the center of each newspaper hung a lifelike human face with eyes closed and complete features.
Just as Jiang Shan’s gaze swept toward the room’s walls.
Whether it was the human face currently held in Feng Quan’s hand or the human faces on the walls, their tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Then, countless gazes filled with malice and resentment all converged on Jiang Shan, the covetous looks in their eyes as if they wanted to skin him alive and take his place.
“Feng Quan… oh, no, I should call you Newspaper Ghost. Let me see what tricks you want to play.”
