Eight o'clock in the evening, outside the Century Mall.

Police lights flashed, and the perimeter of the mall had been cordoned off. All the customers were evacuated, and passersby only glanced once before hurrying away.

Generally, this kind of situation means a paranormal event has occurred.

A black SUV stopped at the intersection, and Lin Jue and his group of four got out of the car.

"Team Wang, what's the situation?" Xu Xiaoqi asked, approaching him.

Team Wang pointed to a mall security guard beside him, trembling and with a face full of fear, and said, "Ask him."

As soon as Xu Xiaoqi got close, the security guard screamed, "Don't come over, don't come over!"

He seemed quite frightened; the approach of a stranger made him very afraid.

"This…" Xu Xiaoqi looked at Team Wang, who returned a helpless look.

This security guard was on night duty in the mall's underground parking lot. After escaping from the paranormal event, he had been in this state, only saying that there was something strange in the parking lot, and hadn't said anything else.

Just then, Xu Xiaoqi noticed "Fang Hao" beside him approaching the security guard, holding a cigarette in his hand, with a simple and honest smile on his face: "Brother, have a cigarette to calm your nerves."

The security guard looked at Lin Jue timidly, but still took the cigarette, trembling as he put it in his mouth.

Lin Jue quickly took out a lighter to light it for him, comforting him: "Brother, you're out of the parking lot now. The environment you're in now is absolutely safe, absolutely safe."

As he spoke, he pointed to Xu Xiaoqi and the others beside him, then continued: "We are all from the Supernatural Investigation Department. You know the Supernatural Investigation Department, right? It's an organization specifically responsible for handling paranormal events."

"We're here this time to ensure your safety, but we need you to cooperate with us and tell us everything you encountered."

His speech was even and his voice calm, as if filled with a magic that soothed people's hearts.

The security guard took a deep drag of the cigarette in his mouth before trembling and saying: "There's a ghost in the parking lot."

"Today, Lao Wang and I are on night duty. You know that in this strange era, shopping malls close at six o'clock."

"After Lao Wang and I patrolled the mall, we returned to the security booth at the entrance of the parking lot, preparing to rest for a while."

"Then a phone call came to the landline in the booth. It was a man, and he said, he said…"

At this point, the security guard's pupils dilated, and he began to feel afraid again.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's very safe here, you keep talking, no ghost can hurt you." Lin Jue continued to comfort him.

The security guard puffed on his cigarette: "He said he had dropped something in the parking lot and hoped we could help him find it."

"I thought it was a bit strange at the time, but I didn't think too much about it, so Lao Wang and I went to the first floor of the parking lot."

"But as we walked, I noticed something was wrong. The lights in the parking lot were much dimmer than usual, and there was a decaying smell, like something had been dead for a long time."

"I used to be from the countryside. Back then, when our village was requisitioned for land and everyone moved graves, that was the smell when coffins were dug out of the ground."

"At that time, I felt even more uncomfortable, and I was about to call Lao Wang to leave, but when I turned around…"

The security guard's cigarette was finished, and Lin Jue quickly lit another one for him.

"When I turned around, I found that Lao Wang had disappeared without me knowing when."

"I was very scared at the time, and I kept calling Lao Wang's name, but there was no answer. Only my echo in the empty parking lot."

"The echo started as my voice, but gradually turned into another strange sound, like someone was hiding and imitating me."

"I realized that it might be haunted, so I ran towards the exit, but the roads in the parking lot seemed to have changed, and I couldn't find the exit no matter what!"

A ghost wall!

Xu Xiaoqi and the others exchanged glances, their faces solemn. The thing hiding in the parking lot should be a ghost with mental attacks, affecting people's perception of direction.

The security guard held the cigarette ash for a long time without shaking it off. He took a long puff of the last bit of smoke and continued: "Then I heard someone calling me, saying 'Here, here~~'"

"That was the voice on the phone. I realized that the voice was the ghost. It called us to lure us into the parking lot and kill us!"

"I ran in the opposite direction, but all directions were wrong. The more I ran, the closer I got to the voice."

"I saw that person! His face was fragmented, as if it had been cut by a knife, and he was covered in blood!"

"He said, 'Come over, come over, I dropped something, help me pick it up.'"

"I saw his hand fall off and land on the ground."

"I can't escape!"

"Then how did you escape?" Xu Xiaoqi asked, somewhat puzzled.

The security guard collapsed and squatted on the ground, painfully grabbing his hair: "It was Lao Wang! Lao Wang ran out from the side at that time, pulling me to escape to the fire exit."

"The ghost chased after us. Lao Wang told me to go up first, but he was caught back by the ghost. Only I escaped."

"Lao Wang, he, Lao Wang, he…"

Lin Jue sighed and patted the security guard's shoulder: "It's good that you were able to escape. Lao Wang is a good person and will be rewarded. He'll definitely be fine."

There was something wrong with what this person said, and his acting of collapsing later was also terribly fake.

But there was no black aura present in the True Sight Eyes, indicating that this person was not a ghost disguised as a human.

The problem was with the last sentence. The real situation was probably that the ghost chased after them, and this security guard pushed Lao Wang towards the ghost, in order to exchange his own chance to escape.

In the era of ghosts, human nature is like this, and it is impossible to judge whether it is right or wrong.

"Let's go, let's go in." Xu Xiaoqi pulled open the police line and took the lead to walk in.

Lin Jue and the others followed closely behind.

There was only one entrance and exit to the parking lot, a long slope extending into the dark underground, with only the guard booth at the entrance emitting a faint light.

That slope looked like the entrance to hell.

The group stopped at the entrance, and Lin Jue lit a cigarette, his legs shaking like an earthquake.

"Cowardly bastard." Huang Yong muttered in a low voice, but he was also a little afraid in his heart. He had only been an investigator for a few months, and the number of paranormal events he had dealt with was few and far between, so he couldn't remain calm.

"Brother Hao, you're so good at comforting others, why can't you do it for yourself?" Xu Xiaoqi joked, trying to ease Lin Jue's tension.

"Comforting others is just a skill I learned from driving a taxi. I used to often encounter customers who were heartbroken or frustrated."

Lin Jue's hand trembled, causing cigarette ash to fall constantly. He took a shaky puff: "It's still quite scary to actually face this."

"It's okay, everyone's like this the first time." Xu Xiaoqi comforted him: "I almost fainted the first time I did it."

Lin Jue put out the cigarette, smiling very reluctantly: "Let's go, when the captain asked me back then, I said that protecting ordinary people is our duty."

"Although I'm afraid, I still have to step up."

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the group, the first to step into the parking lot.

Everyone stared blankly at his fearless back. This guy actually has this kind of awareness?

This kind of heroic figure is very rare in this era.
