Mysterious Revival

After Yang Jian examined the Ghost Taxi and confirmed some situations, he felt that the taxi temporarily had no risk of losing control, so he threw it into the safe house and ignored it.

Returning to his residence, Zhang Liqin had already prepared the meal.

After a simple meal, Yang Jian asked Zhang Liqin to begin recording the various experiences of this trip to Dadong City.

Zhang Liqin’s handwritten notes had already become a thick book, each page involving the various bizarre supernatural events Yang Jian encountered.

After finishing these, it was already late at night.

The day passed peacefully.

However, in another old district of Dachang City, the night was not as peaceful.

This was a slightly old urban area, cold and deserted, with only a few lights at night. The occupancy rate was alarmingly low, and there weren’t even passing vehicles around.

Usually, this place was very quiet, without any sound at this time.

But today, for some reason, a group of young men appeared.

With nothing to do, they wandered everywhere nearby. They were visible in every building, on every floor, their actions suspicious and very strange.

Fortunately, there were few people in this community, and no one paid attention to them.

“Ah Wei, Ah Wei, where are you? Where did you run off to?” At this moment, a young man dashed out from a building, calling out someone’s name.

“Stop shouting, I’m right here.”

In the dark corner nearby, a figure in a trench coat and a cowboy hat emerged, with two golden firearms hanging from the waist glinting slightly in the darkness. Facing forward, back to others, stepping back a few steps out of the shadows.

“What are you doing against the wall? Turn around, we may have already found the problematic place, and Brother Ah Fei is already squatting by the door, just waiting for you.” The young man said.

“What? Found it so quickly? Good, I’m on my way.” Zhang Wei was surprised, hurriedly put on his pants, and left.

The damp writing on the corner wall left a word: Wei.

Soon, Zhang Wei arrived in front of the nineteenth building of the neighborhood.

A group gathered below, some smoking, some on their phones, some listening to music…

“Ah Wei is here.”

“Ah Wei, hurry up, I have a date tonight, don’t delay.”

“Red envelope, red envelope, don’t forget. We’ve been searching for ages, used all our connections. How can you not send us a big red envelope?”

Seeing Zhang Wei coming, many started clamoring immediately.

“Ah Fei, are you sure it’s this building?” Zhang Wei pressed down the hat on his head and asked in a low voice.

The young man known as Ah Fei, squatting at the entrance, stood up and said, “It’s definitely here. I got the news from the security guard nearby; a few days ago, someone took a big bag of stuff into this building and never came out after that, and no one lived in this building before.”

“Maybe they’re just playing games at home. I also like staying at home.” Someone retorted.

Ah Fei cursed, “Cynic, go away. Didn’t you smell the corpse odor when you were in the hallway?”

“Maybe someone just farted in the hallway?” Zhang Wei seriously asked.

“…”

“My nose, Ah Fei, is famous for being sharp, and I’m particularly sensitive to that smell. If it were just a fart, the person would have a rotten backside.”

Ah Fei said, “Does anyone here have a rotten backside?”

“Nonsense, that’s impossible, you’re talking rubbish, how could I have a rotten backside.”

“Don’t look at me, I don’t have either.”

Zhang Wei advised, “Alright, give Ah Wei some face, stop arguing. Tell me, on which floor is the smell? Let’s all go and check it out.”

“I smelled it on the fifth floor, but I’m sure the smell wafted from the sixth floor. I counted before; there are only three households on the sixth floor, and one must have a problem.” Ah Fei said.

“What are we waiting for? It’s the perfect chance to make a name for myself, Ah Wei, in Dachang City today.” Zhang Wei seemed a bit excited, held onto his hat, and led the charge into the hallway.

The others exchanged glances, hesitated a bit, but still followed.

Walking in the dim corridor, many couldn’t help but feel nervous inside.

“Do you guys think we’ll really encounter a ghost later? If this goes wrong, it could kill people. I think we should notify Brother Tui and let him handle it.”

“I can’t do it. I need to go to the bathroom first.”

At this moment, someone clasped his stomach, looking pained, but before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and fled.

“I need to go to the bathroom too.” Another person ran off.

“What bathroom? They’re obviously scared. Why are you going too?” Ah Fei cursed, seeing a companion nearby wanting to leave too.

That person said, “They went to the bathroom without bringing paper, so I’m giving them some.”

In the end, unable to stop him, he slipped away.

The large group had barely reached the fourth floor when more than half had already run away, leaving only five or six people.

The ones not scared off were either stubborn or unbelieving, or simply bold.

“Let them go, good thing I didn’t count on them from the start; after all, people still have to rely on themselves.” Zhang Wei muttered to himself, already reaching the sixth floor of the building.

Sure enough.

There was a faint corpse smell on this floor.

Ah Fei sniffed around, his face not looking good, pointing to the door of 602, “The smell wafts out from here; there must be a dead body inside.”

“Pry the door open, let’s go in and see.” Zhang Wei said.

“The door seems unlocked, the lock is broken.” Someone discovered the door could be pulled open, not locked at all.

After opening, a much stronger corpse odor wafted out. The room inside was pitch black without the slightest light, yet shadows seemed to move within, not peaceful at all.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

“Damn, Ah Wei, what are you doing, almost shot me.” A companion standing by the door cursed.

Zhang Wei holding the gun said, “Nonsense, I think I saw someone inside, so I acted first. With my shooting skills, would I hit you?”

“Did you hit anything?” Ah Fei asked.

“Definitely hit; there’s no way I’d miss at this short distance.” Zhang Wei said confidently.

“Then why is there no movement?” People hesitated at the door, unsure, and dared not enter.

Zhang Wei said, “I’ll go check first, you watch my expression and act accordingly.”

After speaking, he strode inside.

Soon.

The inside lit up; it was Zhang Wei’s flashlight. He shone the flashlight around the dark room and found nothing, then looked at the wall before him.

There were no bullet holes in the wall.

In other words, the bullet must have hit something, and the bullet must have been carried away in that thing’s body.

If the bullet missed, there would definitely be a bullet hole in the wall.

“Aren’t you turning on the lights?” Seeing Zhang Wei roaming inside without incident, someone peeked in cautiously and turned on the lights.

The room suddenly brightened.

“What’s up, nothing here.” Seeing all clear, others’ guts grew stronger.

Several entered curiously to look around.

“Could it be in the room?” Ah Fei sniffed around, standing at a door to a room, sniffing.

The smell seemed to waft from there.

The next moment, Zhang Wei kicked open the door, shining the flashlight inside.

The room only had a bed, with some bloodstains on it, the blood rancid and blackened, emitting a vile stench. The blackened areas vaguely outlined a humanoid shape as if someone had recently lain there.

“A wasted trip, let’s go back, definitely got the wrong place.” Zhang Wei cursed, stepping out of the room.

Ah Fei scratched his head too, sensing something amiss.

The odor inside the room wasn’t as strong as anticipated, shouldn’t have drifted outside like that.

The others, seeing it was a false alarm, felt it boring as well, turned off the light, locked the door, and prepared to leave.

Yet no one noticed, among the crowd going downstairs, an inexplicable extra person emerged, blending naturally, not incongruous, unnoticed by others, feeling neither familiar nor unfamiliar.

Ah Fei looked around cautiously.

He seemed to smell that corpse odor, right within the crowd.
