The Vanishing Corpse

Because Master Luo was going to perform a ritual, the entire mall was closed, not even sparing the safety passages.

It's really unknown how this young man named Yan Li appeared in the mall; he simply wasn't seen during the previous patrols.

Could it be that he had already arrived?

Was the person he felt these past two days in the mall him?

Yang Jian looked at this person named Yan Li, and many thoughts raced through his mind.

However... how to explain the already rotting corpse that he also didn't find during the patrols?

Moreover, the cut on the corpse's neck was neat and clean, a wound that could only be made by a milling cutter in a factory, but what's eerie is that there was no blood flowing out from the corpse.

Boss Tang, Manager Li, Master Luo, and a group of people looked at Yan Li, who was walking towards them as if nothing happened, with some horror.

Murderer? Madman? Or monster?

Many thoughts suddenly sprouted in their minds.

Yan Li reached out to Boss Tang, but Boss Tang took a few steps back and did not shake hands with him, only saying with some horror, "Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?"

"I'm here just to talk to Boss Tang about a business deal, I don't know if Boss Tang is interested or not?" He withdrew his hand and said with a smile.

"What kind of business?"

Yan Li said, "If I'm not mistaken, your mall should be hiding a ghost. The people who went missing from your mall before were all killed by that ghost, and at this moment, that ghost is still hiding somewhere in the mall, spying on us. I can solve this problem for you, but as a reward, I want five million."

Boss Tang understood that this person was here to extort him.

He had already invited a master, so why would he need this person of unknown origin?

Before he could speak, Master Luo sneered, "Young man, which school do you belong to? Do you know the rules? And you are so young, you look like you are in your twenties at most, do you understand Feng Shui and the Eight Trigrams? I'm afraid you are a self-taught artist. Today, I will solve Boss Tang's matter, and if you know what's good for you, you should get out of here quickly."

"Otherwise, I'll let the security guard kick you out."

Yan Li also sneered, "Ignorant swindler of the rivers and lakes, Feng Shui? It's okay to deceive those nouveau riche, but now your Feng Shui is useless, because there really is a ghost here. If that ghost comes out, will your peach wood sword be useful? What about those useless paper talismans? Even if you invite the Buddha from the temple, it won't be of any use."

"And I warn you, you'd better pay attention to your tone, otherwise, I'll dig out your heart and stuff it into your mouth."

He, who was still smiling before, suddenly changed his face, becoming somewhat ferocious and indifferent. He grabbed Master Luo and lifted him up with surprisingly great strength.

His sinister tone made people not doubt at all that he could do what he said.

Master Luo's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes showed a look of panic. He subconsciously felt fear towards this person.

This person is like the most vicious murderer in prison, cold-blooded and violent.

No, even the most vicious murderer is not as sinister and terrifying as him.

"This person is definitely a ghost tamer." Yang Jian saw his terrifying expression that was not like a normal person and could be sure that he was also a person who had been tormented by the ghost in his body.

A person with a ghost in his body will be constantly influenced by the fierce ghost.

This change is carried out imperceptibly.

Yang Jian has already felt this change.

"Security, security, come on, subdue this person quickly, let him let go of Master Luo." Manager Li's face changed, and he urged in a hurry.

Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and he had to go over with a stiff head.

"What's the matter with you, security? Why don't you come to help? Do you still want to work? Hurry up."

Manager Li saw Yang Jian motionless, not taking orders, and immediately pointed at him and shouted angrily.

Yang Jian said, "I was fired by you before, and now I'm not a security guard of the mall anymore. I'll return this security uniform later, which means I'm not under your control now, you solve this matter yourself."

"And don't point and scold, although you are the mall manager, if you provoke me, I don't mind beating you up."

"Damn it." Manager Li's face turned green with anger.

Are the security guards so tough now? He fired him before, and now he's confronting him.

Boss Tang said, "This young man, I am the boss of the mall. If you are willing to help, you are still a member of the company now, and I will give you a raise later, how about that?"

"I think this job is a bit dangerous, it's better to change to another job." Yang Jian said indifferently, "I appreciate the boss's kindness."

Boss Tang also felt a bit of heartache. He didn't blame Yang Jian for being wrong, but he gave a strange look at Manager Li.

This manager is a fool, and he will be replaced later.

This mall can't recruit people, and it's hard to have two young and strong security guards. It's time to use people, but you fired others, and now you make others go on strike and refuse to help. You are so good at scolding people, why don't you step up at this time.

"Call the police quickly." Boss Tang held back his temper and whispered an order.

Sister Li behind him suddenly woke up and immediately picked up her mobile phone to call the police.

"Calm down, sir..." Liu Qiang came over with a stiff scalp, and he didn't dare to provoke this strange young man.

After all, he's just getting paid, and there's no need to risk his life.

"I am very calm, if not calm, you would have died by now..." Yan Li revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. He slowly put down the scared-looking Luo Master, then pushed him hard and threw him on the ground.

"Boss, the police have been called." Sister Li said in a low voice.

Boss Tang nodded: "Don't do anything rash first, stabilize this person."

Looking at a corpse that exudes a foul smell, this person named Yan Li is likely to be the murderer, and it is estimated that the previous disappearance cases in the mall were also caused by him.

"Boss Tang, I think we can continue the previous topic, five million, I will help you catch that ghost, let your mall operate normally, how about it?" Yan Li said.

"You, you are asking for too much." Boss Tang's face was a bit heavy.

"Compared to the things in your mall, my price is quite fair." Yan Li grinned.

"If it's lower, I can consider it." Boss Tang was stalling for time, thinking that Yan Li was the murderer, and had already asked someone to call the police, just waiting for the police to come.

Yang Jian watched Yan Li and Boss Tang bargaining, shaking his head secretly.

Yan Li is too reckless.

Although supernatural events are emerging one after another around the world, most people still don't believe in them.

Asking for five million directly, no one would agree.

Only when this Boss Tang really sees the ghost and knows the horror of that thing can the business be discussed.

With the previous transaction with Wang Bin, Yang Jian has some experience.

But just as the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Suddenly.

A sound of turning off the lights suddenly rang out.

The entire mall suddenly became dim.

Power failure?

Everyone was stunned.

"No, it's wrong." Yan Li's face suddenly changed, he looked up at the fifth floor of the mall fiercely.

In the dim environment, a figure vaguely stood by the glass railing on the fifth floor, seemingly looking over here.

And that figure... seems to have no head.

"Finally appeared?" Yan Li with a bit of madness.

Immediately, he ignored other people and rushed upstairs along the elevator.

"Hmm?" Yang Jian squinted his eyes and also noticed the figure on the fifth floor, but he frowned afterwards.

Because the smell of the corpse was on the first floor.

Ghost, is it above or below?

"Ah ~!" Suddenly, an employee suddenly screamed, pointing to a certain direction on the first floor.

This female employee, Wei Xiaohong, is a cashier around twenty-five years old.

"What's the matter, it's just a power failure, don't make a fuss." Manager Li scolded: "Take advantage of the murderer running away, open the door and leave quickly, the police will solve this matter later."

"No, no, that... the body that person just threw down, no, it's gone." Wei Xiaohong pointed to the place where the body was lying just now, trembling.

Looking back, there was nothing there.

The body really disappeared.

People saw this scene, their eyes narrowed, and their whole body was cold.

But the smell of the corpse in the air has always been there, and it seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
