Mysterious resurgence

now.

Inside the dusty Caesar Hotel.

Yang Jian sat casually on a chair. He held a pencil and drawing paper in his hand, and quickly drew a face in his memory on the paper at an incredible speed.

That memory did not come from herself, but from the woman named Huang Ying before. This was a terrifying scene she saw.

Only less than a minute passed.

On the white drawing paper, a lifelike face appeared.

"That's this person." Yang Jian put down his pen and took the drawing paper to look at it.

In the painting is a young man whose face is somewhat dark, dull, lifeless, and even has corpse spots emerging. Although his eyes are open, they are numb, hollow, and without any energy. Judging from these conditions, this The person is already a corpse.

Moreover, it must have been dead for several days, and it has already undergone slight decay.

But Yang Jian couldn't deduce how many days the person had been dead based on a single picture, because supernatural power could maintain the body's state for a long time and keep it from rotting.

What he wanted to see was what the person looked like and where he could recall seeing the body.

Yang Jian has the ability of photographic memory. Of course, this does not mean that his memory is very good. It just means that he can read the past memories anytime and anywhere, just like a computer, reading the previous data again.

"My memories are too complex, too many, and there are countless personal memories in my mind. These memories emerge from time to time, making me feel that everyone I see has a sense of familiarity, as if I know them somewhere, or have met them somewhere. Pass."

"But this body should not belong to other people's memories."

Yang Jian was deep in thought, and then recalled his previous experiences. Although he did not recall it immediately, but staring at the sketch in his hand, he quickly found the memory about this person in his memory.

He remembered.

That was the second time he entered the Caesar Hotel and grabbed the hatchet from the tall man's corpse.

At that time, he suffered the curse of the music box and was not worried about being killed by supernatural forces, so he dared to break in here. When he went deep into the Caesar Hotel, he heard the sound of a piano in a room, and the piano sound came from No. 71 room, I thought there was a ghost in that room, but Yang Jian met two people.

A woman named Xianglan and a man named Anan.

"This person is Anan, the person who was with that Xianglan last time." Yang Jian's expression moved slightly, and he immediately remembered all this.

No wonder he looked familiar. It turned out that he had indeed seen this person before.

It's just that he and Anan only met once, and at that time he was only paying attention to the sound of the piano in Room 71, so he basically didn't care much about Anan's appearance.

But the woman named Xianglan, Yang Jian, was deeply impressed.

Because Pandan can play the second part of the cursed ringtone of the music box.

"Whether it's Xianglan or Anan, they should be living together. The situation was dangerous at that time. After they escaped from the piano room 71, they did not go towards the exit of the Caesar Hotel, but went deeper. He ran away to other places, which shows that Caesars Hotel is not the only exit."

"It's just that they said they had been trapped here for a long time and were looking for an exit, which made me very curious."

Yang Jian pondered and recalled some fragmentary information from that time.

It's a pity that last time I was only focused on getting the hatchet and didn't have time to pay attention to these two people, so I could only let it go. But today, I saw the dead Anan in other people's memories. I just didn't know the name of that person at the beginning. Is the woman from Xianglan dead? If she is still alive, maybe there is a chance to find her this time.

He didn't know how long he thought about it, but it wasn't until Li Yang and Tong Qian approached that he came back to his senses.

"Captain, we have searched the hotel and found some things, but they are all insignificant." Li Yang said, "I have checked every room. There is nothing supernatural and no ghosts found."

Tong Qian said: "We just found a few corpses that had been dead for a long time. There were about four or five. They were a little strange."

"Why is it strange?" Yang Jian asked.

Li Yang said: "The corpses are all ordinary people, there is nothing special about them. The only thing worthy of attention is that the clothes of these corpses are very special. They don't look like modern people's clothing style, but like those from the 1980s and 1990s. Of course, they are also Some are from the 1960s and 1970s, and one of them dresses like the Republic of China period."

"It's not strange for people who have been dead for a long time to appear in supernatural events. I also know this. After all, it was not uncommon for people in the past to be involved in supernatural events and die. The supernatural power will destroy those who died. Preserved, so we can see all kinds of dead people from different eras.”

"But this time is an exception. They were not dead before but alive, but they died later."

Yang Jian squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think there is a kind of supernatural power that allows people in the past to survive until now?"

He looked at the sketch in his hand,

The people named Xianglan and Anan were suspected to be from the Republic of China period.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, Wang Chaling's ancient house even has a supernatural pendulum clock that restarts time. It is not unacceptable for such a thing to happen." Li Yang said: "But I think these are not the point. The point is these Where did people appear before and why did they appear here?"

"If they came from that supernatural passage, then how did they live as ordinary people and how did they survive in such a dangerous place."

Yang Jian said: "It is not difficult for ordinary people to survive in a supernatural land. What is difficult is to survive for a long time. You have also lived in the world of ghost paintings for more than half a year."

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I was just lucky to survive. After all, the people who were involved in the ghost painting world were people from a city. This kind of survival is completely survivor bias, but as time goes by, people who are alive There will definitely be fewer and fewer, at least none will be left.”

"If they lived in the same environment as me, they would have died long ago. How could they be alive now?"

"There's no way to guess this matter here. Let's wait until night to see everything. Maybe we can find something at night."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he said to Tong Qian: "Also, don't forget, we are here to investigate this time, not to deal with supernatural events. There are only supernatural phenomena happening here, and there are no supernatural events. So in some places We have to get out of here in time if it’s dangerous.”

"The worst case scenario is to relocate residents and expand the blockade area."

"I understand, I won't be impulsive anymore." Tong Qian said.

He understood what Yang Jian meant.

When necessary, the city can be evacuated and the Caesar Hotel completely sealed off, instead of choosing to fight a supernatural incident to the end.

They cannot afford to lose.

"But Tong Qian and I haven't gone to the fourth floor to investigate yet. Captain, do you think it's necessary to go to the fourth floor to investigate?" Li Yang asked again.

Yang Jian looked at the time: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still seven hours before the ten o'clock in the evening that Tong Qian said. There is plenty of time. Let's go to the fourth floor to have a look, but I have to pick up something first. "

After speaking he stood up.

Water soon began to seep under his feet, and the water spread around Yang Jian's feet, forming a waterlogged area of ​​about six meters.

This piece of water is not big, but it seems to be connected to some abyss, which makes people feel heart-stopping.

"This is the water of the ghost lake."

Li Yang's expression moved slightly. There was no stagnant water under his feet, because the stagnant water automatically bypassed him and Tong Qian.

Yang Jian squatted down and put his hand deep into the water.

Stagnant water serves as a medium to connect any place, including the swimming pool where he lives in Guanjiang Community in Dachang City.

Catch it in the water.

next moment.

Yang Jian retracted his palm, the water splashed, and a golden hair-splitting spear was taken out from the water.

"Let's go."

He held a cracked spear and walked in front. Every step he took would leave a series of wet footprints under his feet.

"So that's it." Li Yang stared at the pool of water and roughly understood what was going on.

The spear in the captain's hand contains gold and is not affected by supernatural influences. However, accumulated water can be used as a medium to form a channel connecting certain places, so anything in the water can be taken directly by Yang Jian through the connection of this medium. . Even weapons made of gold are no exception.

But it’s not just about convenience.

At critical moments, these stagnant waters serve as escape routes. Yang Jian can enter the ghost lake and escape directly.

Because ghost areas in some places will be affected, but it is not easy to affect ghost lakes.

The three of them joined forces and walked along the safety stairs to the fourth floor again.

But just as they walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, they already realized something was wrong.

The walls on the fourth floor are mottled and aged, giving off a cold atmosphere. At the same time, there is a strong smell of corpses in the air. It seems that light cannot enter this floor. Although it shines in along the gap, it is only just It's just that the location of the gap is a little bright, and there's no way to light up the surrounding area.

"It's a supernatural influence, and it's very serious. If it continues, it will probably form a ghost realm." Yang Jian touched the wall and felt an unusual aura.

Li Yang said: "So, there is a ghost on the fourth floor?"

"There is a ghost for sure, but I am not sure whether the ghost stayed on the fourth floor and affected this floor, or whether it was in the corridor and affected this floor."

"follow me."

Yang Jian did not hesitate. In the dark and depressing environment, his ghost eyes opened, and everything around him was reflected in a scarlet world.

He walked quickly, almost without hesitation, and went straight in one direction.

Tong Qian and Li Yang followed closely behind, and they were already alert.

Setting foot here means that you may encounter the evil ghosts wandering here at any time.

This floor is the hotel's guest rooms.

But these guest rooms are now dilapidated, and the doors of each room are locked. The quiet inside is a bit scary, for fear that a certain room will suddenly open with a strange creak, which will make people's hearts tighten. stand up.

But Yang Jian knew that these were just guest rooms in the Caesar Hotel itself, not supernatural rooms.

What's really dangerous is an extra aisle in the hotel.

"That's it, here we are." Yang Jian turned a corner and stopped immediately.

This was originally the end of the hotel room, and there was a wall beyond that, but this was not the scene in front of me.

There is a passage in front of you connecting here, leading to an unknown place.

"Sure enough, the wall I used to block it off is gone, and the ghost I built into the wall is also gone." Yang Jian frowned.

The passage was covered with red carpet, which looked like someone was taking care of it. It looked relatively new, without the dilapidated feeling in the Caesar Hotel. Moreover, you could see that the wall lamps in the rooms on both sides were on, emitting a yellowish light.

"Is this the forbidden place?" Li Yang looked curiously.

It was his first time to come to this place, but he had read about it in the files and knew that there was such a scary corridor that connected rooms that were suspected to be occupied by evil spirits.

"The surroundings are safe for the time being." Tong Qian's three faces were looking at each other, facing three different directions.

He is determining his surroundings.

Yang Jian stared at the place where the wall disappeared and thought.

Last time, he built the tall man's corpse wrapped in the shroud into the wall and ignored it. Unexpectedly, the wall was gone, the shroud was gone, and the tall man's corpse was also gone.

"It is impossible for the ghost wrapped in the shroud to break free. Even if a wandering ghost appears, it is impossible to take away the tall male corpse. The shroud is a supernatural item that can block supernatural powers, so the only possibility is Someone broke through the wall and took the body away."

"Most of the people who do this kind of thing are not people from outside, but most likely people from inside."

Yang Jian's ghostly eyes peered towards the end of the passage.

Unfortunately, the ghost eye cannot cover this supernatural place, and a room at the end of the passage blocks the view.
