The trap set for the Wishing Ghost is now complete.

The Ghost Candle is burning, the scent of Ghost Incense is drifting, the oil lamp that reflects ghosts is flickering, coupled with the presence of the two ghost handlers, Yang Jian and Liu Qi, here. Under such conditions, even a ghost at the Terror Level within an S-class supernatural event might find it difficult to escape being captured.

Everyone is feeling confident at the moment, all silently waiting for the ghost to appear.

“If the Wishing Ghost possesses the consciousness of a living person, then I am very curious how it will respond in this situation,” Yang Jian thought to himself.

The time has now reached eleven o’clock at night, with only one hour left until the day is over.

Within this remaining hour, the ghost is bound to appear before Yang Jian.

However, facing this pre-set trap, if the ghost appears normally, it will definitely be easily captured.

At this moment.

The door opened again, and the food cart reappeared.

This time, however, there was a change; three bowls of egg fried rice were placed on this cart, and the number had unexpectedly increased.

“The ghost is actually speeding up the delivery of meals, now Zhang Wei is in trouble,” Wang Shanshan said.

But Zhang Wei said, “It’s okay, adding the previous ones, it’s only seven servings of egg fried rice, still far from twenty servings, I can manage.”

Yang Jian didn’t say a word. He kept his distance from the range of the Ghost Incense, not wanting to be influenced, and at this moment, he was sitting in a corner, using his ghostly eye to observe the hotel and its surroundings.

Five minutes have passed.

Everything is normal, but a new food cart appeared once more, still carrying egg fried rice, again in three servings.

“At this rate of delivery and frequency, it won’t take half an hour to reach twenty servings of egg fried rice, and these food carts are not coming from within the hotel but from outside, no wonder there’s such a gap in time, it seems the ghost is being very cautious.”

“Wait, something’s happening.”

In the vision of the ghostly eye, Yang Jian saw that many vehicles suddenly appeared on the roads near the hotel, there were private cars, taxis, and buses… all vehicles seemed to be under unified command, heading toward the Peace Hotel.

The vehicles completely ignored traffic rules, dashing madly.

Soon, the vicinity of the Peace Hotel was tightly encircled by these vehicles.

Then.

The car doors opened, and people started to get out one after another and, as if all agreed, walked toward the entrance.

There were so many people that a quick glance could estimate the number was no less than four hundred.

And as the incident progressed, more and more people drove over and kept moving toward the hotel. In just a matter of moments, all the nearby streets were clogged with cars, but the people in the cars did not give up, continuing to approach on foot.

“Is the ghost’s first probe through the use of sheer numbers? Or is the ghost trying to hide in such a large crowd to sneak into the hotel?”

Yang Jian frowned.

In his ghostly eye vision, all these people were normal living beings, but like the waiters before, they were controlled by a supernatural force, at this moment having no idea what they were doing.

Liu Qi also heard the commotion, he immediately got up and went to the window to look outside, his face changed immediately: “So many people? Is the ghost planning to sneak in under the cover of these people?”

“It controls living people, letting them all rush in, I can totally send the people away again.”

Yang Jian said, “By using the Ghost Domain to send these people tens of kilometers away, they wouldn’t be able to come back within an hour, but…”

Just as he was preparing to take action.

The body of the first waiter on the ground kept reminding him of something important.

If mishandled, these people will immediately die like the first waiter.

“Yang Jian, they are coming in, you can act now, Yang Jian…” Liu Qi reminded, then turned around and saw Yang Jian staring at the corpse on the ground.

Then, his face also changed, realizing the issue: “Are these people really like the first waiter, who will die at the slightest touch?”

“Ten out of eight or nine chances.”

Yang Jian said with a heavy expression, “Otherwise, the ghost wouldn’t bring these living people over, it intends to use the lives of the living as cover.”

“Is there a way to break the ghost’s influence over them?” Wang Shanshan, at this point, had already heard the sound of a group of people coming upstairs, chaotic and disturbing.

“To cut off the ghost’s connection with living people, we must use supernatural power, but once supernatural power is used, these living people will be killed by the ghost without hesitation under interference,” Yang Jian’s gaze turned colder, “The ghost’s purpose is clear, to fill this hotel with people.”

“In the presence of living people interfering, there are many things we cannot do.”

“Isn’t this just moral blackmail? If we had no morals, we wouldn’t be blackmailed,” Zhang Wei said.

Miao Xiaoshan said, “Don’t come up with lousy ideas, this is Dachang City, there are a lot of people here, do you really want Yang Jian to wipe out a whole city’s population? Not to mention, there might be many acquaintances among these people.”

“That is definitely not acceptable,” Zhang Wei said.

“If we can’t touch these people, then we move, I will relocate the entire Peace Hotel to the suburbs,” Yang Jian said.

Then the Ghost Domain enveloped, attempting to move the building.

However, once the Ghost Eye’s vision left the hall, it immediately began to distort and deform, with intense supernatural interference enveloping the building.

“Still trying to interfere with me?” Yang Jian’s face turned cold.

Instantly, the Ghost Flame ignited.

The eerie, cold flame began to burn, and at that moment, the Ghost Domain was no longer affected. The building was now enveloped within the Ghost Domain.

Yet, when Yang Jian tried to use the Ghost Domain to transfer the building, he found that the building remained completely stationary, without the slightest change.

Some sort of supernatural force was blocking everything, forcefully anchoring the building in place, preventing it from being transferred away.

“Is it the supernatural power of the Wishing Ghost?” Yang Jian deeply furrowed his brow.

Only now did he realize that the ghost is not just about granting wishes; its terror level is also very high.

Bang! Bang!

At this moment, heavy thumping sounds came from outside the door. Many people were trying to break in, but the door was temporarily locked by Liu Qi, briefly blocking those outside.

“The Ghost Domain transfer failed. Now, we either withdraw or stay to fight these people, and then find the fierce ghost. However, I don’t want to withdraw. If a ghost can seal off this building, it can seal off other buildings too, so delaying doesn’t make much sense. If the Ghost General delivers all the remaining fried rice next time, Zhang Wei’s family will undoubtedly die.” Yang Jian said.

After speaking, he turned his Ghost Eye. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveIＦire.net

Then, the structure of this floor changed.

The windows disappeared, and the door was gone too, all turning into thick walls. Yang Jian sealed off the hall, leaving only a few small ventilation openings to prevent everyone from suffocating.

As he did this.

The thumping sounds immediately ceased.

But then, unexpectedly, something happened.

The walls suddenly crumbled, disintegrated, and turned to powder, disappearing cleanly in the wind.

Accompanied by the disappearance of the walls, everyone outside started walking into the hall, whether driven by the ghost or attracted by the Ghost Candle, none of them showed any intention of stopping.

“So many people?” Zhang Wei was stunned, his eager axe slowly lowered.

The densely packed crowd occupied every space, making one’s scalp tingle.

Liu Qi also frowned and stepped back: “This damn ghost, actually manipulating living people, and we can’t do anything to them. If we act, the ghost will let the living die. It’s completely disgusting. This ghost indeed has consciousness; otherwise, how could it use lives to blackmail us.”

“Moreover, with this trick, the ghost can ignore the effects of Ghost Incense, hide among the crowd, making the Ghost Candle and oil lamp ineffective. Our traps are dismantled, and during this process, if the ghost really shows up, we can’t distinguish it, which also equals completing the deal with you, Yang Jian. It’s a win-win situation for the ghost.”

“Looks like the ghost is playing tricks with us.” Wang Shanshan said.

“Playing tricks? Interesting, I’m quite smart, let me think a bit, and I’ll surely come up with a good idea.” Ah Wei said.

Zhang Wei, at this moment, was also furrowing his brow, deep in thought.

Liu Qi looked at Yang Jian and said: “The best solution is for us to retreat. Once we move, the ghost will need time to gather such a scale again. Our traps are still effective and can be rearranged.”

“The ghost may also have a Ghost Domain. Anywhere we can go, the ghost can go too. It can still appear around us with numerous people.”

Yang Jian said as water slowly seeped under his feet, and familiar black-clad figures gradually appeared before him.

“I have plenty of people too.”

Black-clad figures appeared out of thin air, their faces, stature completely identical, even their consciousness was the same.

“The supernatural power of the Deceiving Ghost?” Liu Qi and Wang Shanshan had seen it in Baishui Town, so they were not surprised.

Soon, the black-clad figures awoke. Without speaking, they acted immediately, forming lines of human walls to block those who were flooding in from outside.

Yang Jian stared at the front line of living people.

Just as he suspected, contact with these living people did not cause any deaths among them.

“Push them out of here.”

Yang Jian gave the order while more black-clad figures appeared. They were very strong, much more formidable than these living people controlled by the fierce ghost.

The situation quickly improved.

However, as the black-clad figures pushed these living people away, the originally cramped hall gradually became spacious again.

But then.

Yang Jian found plates of fried rice left behind under the feet of those departing.

He had the black-clad figures gather these fried rices and count them along with previous ones.

“Nineteen plates now, damn it, isn’t this cheating? It was far fewer before,” Zhang Wei almost jumped up.

Just one plate short, and the ghost will go to kill his relatives.

“The Wishing Ghost is intentionally controlling the speed at which your wish is fulfilled, deliberately stalling at this last plate of fried rice.” Yang Jian squinted his eyes and said, “It thinks you’re very important and wants to use you.”
