513 Seal the Spiri (1/2)
A Murderous Level ghost would be able to split itself.
Fang Yuan had only destroyed one of its entities.
This time, the 'truth' behind the crumbled wall was the source of everything!
”Ahhhh!”
Yang Guang shrieked and ran away as fast as possible.
”Rumble!”
The surroundings started to change. From an abandoned apartment, it slowly turned into the scene of a fire outbreak.
It was the same apartment but the furniture was all brand new. The scorching flames started to spread everywhere, even towards the corridors.
The intense inferno and thick black smoke filled Yang Guang's lungs as he began to feel discomfort. Immediately, he started to crouch on the floor and crawled towards safety.
”Could this be... the fire which this apartment had once experienced before? Why was the corpse hidden in the wall? Could it be possible that the property developer was hiding the truth from the media by sealing the corpse up in order to increase the value of this apartment?”
Yang Guang held his nose and carefully made his way around the apartment as he finally understood everything.
The apartment was rented to foreigners. These foreigners did not have a strong backing or good relationships with the locals. Therefore, even if they were to disappear or die, no one would know or miss them!
From all the signs, this was the most reasonable explanation.
”So what if I'm able to deduce all these?”
Yang Guang gazed at the raging inferno around him and felt that even his eyebrows were about to be burnt.
”Mum...”
”Save me...”
...
He could hear the screams for help and the struggles coming from the burning inferno as Yang Guang started to shiver in fear. ”Something's not right... there might be more than 1 casualty in this fire!”
Even though he could deduce this, there was nothing he could do.
”The window... If I cannot escape by the door, I can try the windows!”
Although he didn't know how he had landed himself in the scene of a burning apartment, Yang Guang only had a single thought, and it was to survive!
The intensifying flames were distracting him, affecting his consciousness.
Finally, after crawling for a long while, a window appeared before him.
”This is great!”
He stood up and slammed the window hard to no avail, for it was locked.
”Sh*t!”
Behind him, there were all sorts of cries.
Yang Guang covered his face with a cloth and ran straight into the window.
”Crackle!”
He was an athlete in university and was strong to begin with. With that headbutt, he shattered the window and flew out of the apartment.
”Ahhh!”
As he cried, he tried to pluck out the shards embedded in his arms before examining his surroundings.
The flames were no longer there. It was as though all that had just happened was a mere illusion.
”I have survived!”
Yang Guang examined the apartment and shivered in fear before running away. ”That camera is perfectly fine! The real source of trouble is this apartment and the wronged souls who were burnt to death here!”
After knowing this piece of important information, he knew that if he were to look into this, he would be able to lift the curse and set things right by making the one responsible for the fire to bear the consequences!
”Just that... why do I feel like I've become heavier?”
Yang Guang recalled that there seemed to be something riding on his back while he was crawling on the ground just now!
He shuddered and turned around as he came face to face with a charred face.
”Ahhhhhh!”
Yang Guang screamed hysterically. As soon as he woke up, he realised that he was being trapped in darkness.
”Director, this isn't too good! By hiding a corpse in the wall... it's too unethical...”
”Do you know how much the company has lost after this fire? We don't even have enough money to compensate the affected families! Who would have the time to deal with these corpses?”
”But... the police...”
”There are just a few foreigners. There's nothing much in sealing them up in the walls. Don't worry, we have already bribed the news agencies. They will not report the true casualty rate!”
...
”This is... the wall which the corpses are buried in?”
Yang Guang wanted to struggle. However, the space around him was filled with cement and darkness and his movements were restricted.
Furthermore, a feeling of breathlessness started to overwhelm him.
”No... I am alive! Don't bury me!”
He tried to shout but nothing came out of his mouth.
Finally, his eyes were shut and he fell into an abyss of darkness...
...
”Yang Guang... is dead!”
Fang Yuan and Wu Lu had arrived at the apartment.
They arrived at the room and realised that the camera was destroyed. They also noticed the crumbled wall and the shape of a human body indented in the wall!
”It is useless to deal with the split entities. We need to target its true source...”
Fang Yuan stretched his right hand out to feel the indentation on the wall and could feel a burning sensation in it.
”Is this where... the source once was?”
He examined the surroundings. Suddenly, the space around them transformed into a burning inferno once again and thick smoke started to spread everywhere.
