Chapter 286 Security Room
Chapter 286 Security Room
His back was soaked with cold sweat, and his clothes clung to his skin, bringing a chilling sensation.
"What if something jumps out around the next corner?" Captain Lu's mind was filled with terrifying images—pale faces, blood-red eyes, twisted limbs... He swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down, but the beam of his flashlight began to tremble uncontrollably.
Tie Dan, oblivious to the danger, asked, "Captain Lu, do you think those two out-of-towners might slack off?"
Captain Lu picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Let me ask them."
Ah Chang and Xiao Meng, who are in charge of guarding the elevator, are both from southern Fujian, and they speak a dialect that no one can understand.
Iron Gallbladder naturally didn't understand either.
Captain Lu and Tie Dan walked down the gloomy corridor. The dim light cast long shadows of the two men on the mottled walls, making them look particularly eerie.
Captain Lu gripped the flashlight tightly in his hand, the beam sweeping back and forth in the corridor, as if it could dispel the unease in his heart.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Why is this place so eerie? I feel like something is watching us..."
Tie Dan, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. He patted Captain Lu on the shoulder and laughed, "Captain, you're the backbone of our security team. Why are you so timid today? Could it be that you were scared by that lunatic?"
Captain Lu glared at him, a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Who's chickening out? I just... I just felt something was off about this place. Didn't you notice the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees?"
Tie Dan shrugged and said dismissively, "Captain, that's just psychological."
Besides, even if there really are ghosts, we're security guards, wearing crowns, exuding righteousness; even ghosts would give us a wide berth!
Captain Lu forced a smile, but he was still uneasy inside.
Just then, the flashlight beam flickered a few times and then went out completely.
Captain Lu's heart sank, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it, why is the power out now?"
Tie Dan took out his flashlight, pressed the switch a few times, but found that it didn't light up either.
He frowned, a hint of unease in his voice: "Captain, this...this isn't right, my flashlight is dead too."
The two stood in the darkness, the surroundings eerily quiet, with only the sound of each other's breathing audible.
Captain Lu's heart raced, and his palms were sweating. He whispered, "Tie Dan, let's... let's retreat first and come back when it's light."
Tie Dan nodded, his voice trembling slightly: "Okay...okay, I'll listen to the captain."
Just as the two turned to leave, they suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from inside the elevator, as if someone was being slowly tortured to death.
Captain Lu froze instantly, and asked in a low voice, "Iron Gallbladder, did...did you hear me?"
Tie Dan swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "I...I heard it, Captain, what...what do we do?"
Captain Lu took a deep breath and, trying to appear calm, said, "Don't panic, it's probably just the wind. Let's walk slowly and not look back..."
Captain Lu's back was soaked with cold sweat, and his heart was pounding like a drum, almost jumping out of his chest.
Just then, Tie Dan suddenly shouted, "Captain, run!"
The two took off running, their footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as if countless ghosts were chasing them.
Captain Lu's mind went blank, with only one thought: Run! Run as fast as possible!
Finally, they rushed to a bright place and stood in the mall, panting heavily.
Captain Lu, clutching his knees and panting heavily, secretly vowed: He would rather die than patrol again!
Just when Captain Lu thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, security guard Xiao Meng suddenly rushed out from the side passageway, grabbed Captain Lu's arm, and started chattering away.
Tie Dan asked, "What did he say?"
Captain Lu shrugged and said, "I only know a little bit."
When security guard Xiao Meng realized that he couldn't communicate, he grabbed his own neck with both hands and stuck out his tongue.
Tie Dan said, "That's too much! He's pretending to be dead to avoid going to work."
Captain Lu said with exasperation, "He must have learned it from you. Ignore him, let's go."
Security guard Xiao Meng immediately grabbed Captain Lu's pants and pointed in the direction of the elevator.
the other side.
Li Jian drove a minivan, carrying Lyon and Aqun, towards the Victory Building.
The reason was that they couldn't get any black dog blood.
After inquiring, Li Jian learned that black dog blood also has miraculous effects in catching ghosts.
So the three of them went to a dog meat shop and waited for several days before they finally found a pure black puppy.
However, the little black dog was so cute that Li Jian couldn't bring himself to harm it.
After some discussion, the three of them, along with the black dog, rushed over.
"It's already 8 o'clock, isn't it a bit late?"
"Ah Qun, who was sitting in the back row, asked."
Lyon said, "We don't know when Mr. Li's ghost will come out. Let's go and prepare. Set up a Heaven and Earth Annihilation Formation, and we'll make sure he doesn't come back alive!"
Li Jian felt a little guilty: "Master, should we give him a chance to be reborn as a human?"
Leon said, "Ghosts are energy beings who were unhappy in life and have great resentment after death. Simply put, they only have the heart of revenge and no human heart at all."
What we need to do with this kind of vengeful spirit is to completely eliminate it!
The van drove up to the ground floor of the Victory Building.
As soon as they got out of the car, a gust of wind swept in, making it impossible for the three of them to open their eyes.
Ah-Qun pointed to the sky and cried out, "Something terrible has happened! Look!"
Li Jian looked up and saw that the bright moon and starry sky just moments before were now covered with dark clouds, a dark cloud looming over the city.
Even the bright moon was tinged with a bloody hue.
"Oh no, I never expected this ghost to be so ferocious!"
Lyon's expression was serious, completely devoid of the playful smile he had during training.
Li Jian also sensed something was wrong and asked, "How about we make the best of a bad situation and come back after tonight?"
As he spoke, Li Jian prepared to start the van.
Lyon stopped him: "No, tonight is the night of the returning soul, and it's also the time when that vengeful ghost is at its most ferocious. If I don't take action, I'm afraid everyone in this entire building will suffer."
"Then there will be rivers of blood and widespread devastation."
"Oh no, Wen!" Li Jian suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask if Zhang Haowen was still here.
He took out his phone, only to find that it had no signal at all.
Lyon said, "It's no use. Since this ghost can change the color of the sky and earth, it means that its energy field has expanded to a terrifying level. Don't even think about cell phone signals."
“We must find him immediately. Once we catch that vengeful ghost, all of this will disappear.” With that, Leon stepped into the building.
Li Jian and A Qun quickly followed.
With the Ghost-Seeking Flower in his arms, Leon fought his way to the security room.
