Before the flashlight was turned off, Yang Jian had already seen the people outside the clothing store, standing with pale faces and emitting a decaying odor.
These were the people who had surrounded Mr. Tang, Master Luo, and Manager Li just a moment ago.
They had disappeared before, but now they all reappeared.
Such a number had completely blocked the exit. Even if one wanted to escape from here now, it would be absolutely impossible for a normal person.
In such a narrow and crowded place, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't be attacked.
"There are so many? It's beyond my capabilities. Quickly, lie down, let's leave here," Yan Li said urgently when he saw this scene.
"No, don't lie down, something's wrong," Yang Jian's expression changed, and he quickly turned on the flashlight on his phone.
Under the light, seven or eight people had already entered the clothing store, and more were continuously pouring in. Although these people moved slowly, it wouldn't take a minute for them to reach us, surrounding us from all sides.
Yan Li asked, "Why? Wouldn't they stop attacking us if we lay down?"
"That was before, but now it's different. What we saw earlier wasn't the real ghosts, so they followed a fixed attack pattern. When someone lay down, they lost their target and stopped, then quickly left until the next time they appeared."
"But now, look again. We haven't turned our backs on them, yet the ghosts still came. Don't you understand what this means?"
"What are you trying to say?" Sweat appeared on Yan Li's forehead.
Yang Jian scanned the scene, "The real ghost is among these people, and it's not the dummy you're holding. I suspect this dummy is just the ghost's first body. It must have switched bodies again. The corpse in the fitting room behind us is the best proof. If the ghost was really the dummy you're holding, it wouldn't be able to move."
"You suppressed the ghost's power, so these corpses shouldn't be able to move."
"You're only saying this now?"
Yan Li's eyes narrowed, and he quickly withdrew his hand, no longer using the ghost's power.
The two-meter-tall dummy, soaked in blood, immediately lost its ability to move and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces, and remained still.
Yang Jian's guess was correct.
This special dummy was indeed not the real ghost.
However, at this moment, a group of people emitting a decaying odor had already approached. Their cold, pale faces showed no expression, only a terrifying stillness, like walking corpses, but even more terrifying.
Because among these people was a real ghost.
"Finished, finished, we're dead. This ghost tricked us. This clothing store is a trap, and this special dummy is the bait. It's luring us in," Yan Li's face turned ashen, showing a look of despair.
Even as a ghost tamer, he couldn't rely on the ghost's power to break out. He would either die from the ghost's revival or be killed by the ghost here.
There was no way out.
"Don't talk nonsense. We're not dead yet. Follow me, and don't use the ghost's power during this time," Yang Jian gritted his teeth and grabbed Yan Li.
A red light emanated from his body.
Five ghost eyes opened simultaneously.
The red light covered a radius of three to four meters, enveloping Yan Li as well.
His ghost domain had been activated.
In this situation, not using the ghost domain meant certain death. It was impossible to break out, not just for Yan Li, but for himself as well.
Under the red light, it seemed as if they were separated from reality.
The ghosts approaching them passed through their bodies without touching them.
The crisis was temporarily resolved.
"This is... a ghost domain? How is this possible? Your ability is a ghost domain?"
Yan Li looked at Yang Jian with a shock greater than seeing a ghost.
"Is a ghost domain that special?" Yang Jian glanced at him.
"Not just special, but extremely rare. Ghosts with a ghost domain are particularly terrifying, and ghost tamers can't control them. If they try to control them, they will die from the ghost's revival." Yan Li still looked at Yang Jian with shock.
Moreover, the ability of a ghost domain is considered unsolvable by ghost tamers.
Once you enter a ghost domain, it means you have no way out unless you can imprison the ghost within the domain.
But, is that possible?
Absolutely not. Ghosts with a ghost domain are mostly A-level disaster class, and combined with the ghost domain, they can make all ghost tamers in the world feel hopeless.
Yang Jian looked at him seriously, "This isn't the time to talk about this. We have three minutes. Within these three minutes, we must find the real ghost among these corpses and imprison it in your golden box. Otherwise, we can only escape."
His limit was five minutes, but to be safe, he left two minutes for escape.
"With a ghost domain, we can indeed leave if we want to..." Yan Li said with some surprise, clearly understanding the power of the ghost domain.
This unsolvable existence is something ghost tamers know a bit about.
However, when he saw the strange, blood-red eyes growing on Yang Jian's hands, head, and other parts, his face, which had just shown a bit of joy, immediately froze.
These eyes moved casually, staring at Yan Li a few times, making him feel a chill.
Yan Li could sense that if the ghost inside Yang Jian's body revived, it would cause a terrible disaster.
"Let's start."
Yang Jian's phone was already timing. He led Yan Li through the layers of corpses, reaching the center of the group.
Under the red light, the two of them did not directly contact the ghosts.
Perhaps because they were in the ghost domain, the ghost lost its target.
At this moment, all the corpses were motionless.
They stood stiffly in the clothing store.
Yang Jian and Yan Li began to frantically scan each corpse, trying to determine which one might be the real ghost.
"This ghost must be among them. We must find it within three minutes, or this operation will be a loss," Yang Jian thought.
Having used the ghost domain, he couldn't waste this opportunity.
But, who among them is the real ghost?
The highly decayed female corpse?
Or the man with a replaced head?
Or Liu Qiang's corpse?
Or the male corpse with Wei Xiaohong's head?
...
Each one is possible.
"No, we can't guess. There are too many corpses, and guessing won't work. Yan Li uses the ghost's power too frequently. If he uses his ability to try, he will die from the ghost's revival." To confirm, Yang Jian asked, "Yan Li, how many times can you use the ghost's power?"
"My limit is almost reached. In my current state, I can use it three more times. After three times, I... might die," Yan Li said.
He was uncertain.
No one knows their exact limit; they can only estimate roughly.
"Three times?" Yang Jian had a rough idea.
At this moment,
Suddenly, one of the corpses moved.
All the other corpses were still, but this one moved.
It was a corpse wearing a suit, but with the head of a middle-aged woman.
Perhaps because Yang Jian was in the ghost domain, she gave up attacking them and turned to leave.
"It must be her," Yan Li immediately shouted.
"Let's try." Yang Jian withdrew the red light, letting him leave the ghost domain.
Yan Li gritted his teeth and grabbed the corpse.
Fresh, crimson blood flowed from his gloves and continuously merged into the corpse.
The corpse's eyes, neck, and mouth also continuously bled.
She stopped moving.
It seemed to be restrained.
"Did it work?" Yang Jian watched nervously.
