Chapter 835: Chapter 802: The Infiltrating Shadow

It was past seven in the evening.

The airport in Dachuan City was silent and dim, not a single light was on, as if the entire place had been abandoned.

But with the arrival of Yang Jian, it was as if the place suddenly sprang to life; soon, all the lights turned on, and various eerie sounds started emanating from the quiet surroundings.

Shadows moved back and forth in the desolate airport terminal.

These were the airport staff and some passengers who lingered inside the airport.

These people appeared out of nowhere, and their numbers were astonishingly many, filling up behind every glass door, as if they were surrounding the airport in a circle.

“I have arrived…”

The vengeful ghosts controlling those living dead uttered the words, drifting and echoing non-stop.

The voice sounded both distant and near, like a nasty ghost wandering in the darkness, sometimes appearing far away, other times suddenly close by your side.

You have no idea where the ghost actually is.

Under such circumstances, if a person’s mental fortitude isn’t strong enough to overcome this fear, they may very well collapse.

Because no one can remain indifferent knowing that a ghost is lurking around them.

“Don’t pay attention to these sounds. The location of the sounds and the ghost are not the same; the sounds are meant to deceive. The real ghost might be standing in some corner watching us.” Yang Jian warned, then glanced over the airport interior.

The eerie figures stood in a row, all staring with wide eyes, motionless, watching this way.

Any one of them could be the real ghost.

But determining which one is exceedingly difficult, since the ghost can move.

Yang Jian’s previous attempts had failed twice, and he guessed the ghost would not likely give him another chance so easily.

“Let’s go into the airport.”

Far from shrinking back in fear, Yang Jian walked straight towards the airport terminal.

At this moment, Li Yang was not so worried anymore. Having confronted the ghost once, he gained some confidence, and his state of mind was much better than before.

After all, people need to go through experiences.

Through experiences, they can grow.

Li Yang’s gaze became calm as he watched his surroundings vigilantly, also paying attention to changes in the position of his shadow.

The ghost’s attack starts with the shadow.

As long as you are careful about this point, you won’t be ambushed.

Yang Xiaohua followed behind, silent, a bit nervous and fearful, but relatively composed; after all, at this moment, she didn’t need to do anything other than follow behind and ensure her own survival.

As her injuries were recovering, Yang Xiaohua was not so desperate and even felt a big hope of surviving this ordeal.

“Have Li Yi and the other two not arrived yet? Li Yang, call and check on them,” Yang Jian said.

“At this hour?”

Yang Jian replied, “Of course, if they’re too scared to come, then forget it, I was just mentioning it casually.”

Li Yang nodded and started contacting Li Yi and the others.

At this moment.

The three of them had already entered the airport terminal, everything going smoothly. The rows of people standing near the entrance did not stop them or make any move.

Yet as they walked over, all the eerie figures previously inside the airport slowly twisted their necks, their vacant gaze turning to follow.

The ghost, it seemed, was monitoring the group, not wanting Yang Jian and his companions to leave its line of sight.

Yang Jian had no intention of hiding his tracks either.

He wasn’t afraid of being discovered by the ghost.

Therefore, Yang Jian did not take action against these figures.

With so many of them, taking action was pointless. After all, if one batch died, another would come, and excessively using his abilities was not wise.

Yang Jian couldn’t afford to deplete his strength in such a state.

Therefore, Tong Qian’s arrival was crucial.

She is the anomaly among the ghost controllers whose spirits have died. If she were to make a move, few ghost controllers might be able to resist, and even against the formidable Ghost Shadow, she could hold out for an extended period.

Dealing with these ghostly entities is not a problem for her.

That’s exactly why Yang Jian asked for Tong Qian’s support in the first place.

When there’s a better option available, why choose to resist on your own?

“Team Yang, Li Yi and the others have arrived, they’re inside this airport, but for safety, they are in hiding. As for where exactly, he didn’t tell me, probably worried about being overheard by the people around,” Li Yang said after putting down the phone.

“Hiding?”

Yang Jian remarked, “They are quite cautious indeed. Seems like they’re alive and well just as I had guessed. This third-floor messenger does have some skills, unlike the few people on the second floor whom either died or got injured.”

“Send them a message to meet up outside at the apron. If they don’t want to come, they better not blame me for any accidents that may happen later,” Yang Jian instructed.

“Okay.” Li Yang immediately sent a text.

At this moment.

Li Yi, hidden in one of the airport bathrooms, received the message and frowned.

“Yang Jian wants us to go to the apron; he is now in the first-floor lobby.”

“What? He’s in the lobby? Why haven’t we heard anything? When we arrived, the lobby was packed with people, controlled by the ghost. If Yang Jian comes, those people should attack him,” Guo You pricked up her ears, listening attentively.

But she didn’t hear any noise of Yang Jian being attacked.

Everything was calm, except for the sudden lighting up of lights before.

The lady dressed in a cheongsam, Leuk Qingqing, whispered, “There must be a reason the ghost hasn’t attacked Yang Jian.”

“What reason could there be? Could it be that he knows the ghost?” Guo You thought for a moment, but couldn’t come up with any reason.

Li Yi said, “Perhaps the ghost has attacked him before but failed, so it sensed that Yang Jian is not just an ordinary person that can be easily eliminated and thus changed its method.”

“Ghosts understand strategy? I don’t buy it,” Guo You shook his head.

Leuk Qingqing said, “The ghost has eroded so many people, it’s within reason that these many people, under its control, might undergo some terrifying changes that we cannot comprehend. Let’s go and meet up at the previous airport.”

She decided to set out.

“We’re not going to get hit by a plane again, are we?” Guo You said apprehensively.

They were attacked at this airport during the daytime; never did they expect to end up back here after going around in circles. If they had known, they wouldn’t have bought flight tickets for so early, sparing themselves this dangerous encounter.

The three of them didn’t have many disagreements.

Soon they unified their opinions and began to walk outside cautiously.

They did their best to avoid and bypass the gaze of those eerie individuals, reducing the possibility of being discovered.

As the lights were already lit.

No matter how careful the three people were, shadows were stretched out long behind them and, in an inattentive situation, were swaying randomly around them.

The swaying of the shadows seemed to have disturbed something.

As Li Yi and the others were preparing to leave through a corridor, a person with a blank expression and pale face stood eerily by the wall next to the corridor entrance.

Judging by the attire, this should have been a security guard.

Only, he didn’t belong to the airport staff, and it was unknown where he came from.

“Be careful.” All of a sudden, Li Yi spotted this person and was startled, hastily stepping back several steps.

His expression instantly tensed up.

“Wait, he seems to be asleep,” Guo You observed that the security guard’s eyes were closed and there was no movement.

He seemed to have been standing there for a long time, emitting a faint stench of decay around his body.

“It seems he really isn’t moving,” Li Yi examined for a moment and then slightly relaxed. “Don’t disturb him; let’s leave immediately.”

Leuk Qingqing and Guo You agreed deeply.

Provoking anyone at this time would be unwise; it could trigger an attack by a large number of eerie individuals.

The three turned to leave.

The light shone from the front, the shadows behind them trembling and extending to the feet of the security guard.

The security guard, who had previously been standing with eyes closed, pale-faced, and immersed in stillness, suddenly flickered his eyelids and his eyes snapped open violently.

His numb, vacant eyes were now eerily moving, slowly watching Li Yi, Guo You, and Leuk Qingqing ahead of him, like a ferocious ghost watching them from behind.

The next moment.

The security guard propped against the wall started to move.

He took steps, following the three people at a steady pace.

The light also lit him up.

However, behind him formed an exceedingly weird shadow.

This shadow was missing a large part, as if lacking a body, leaving only the space for a head with a shadow.

The mass of shadow was as dark as ink, seeming almost tangible, and most horrifyingly, the shadow appeared to have facial features, like a head hidden in the darkness.

The security guard took a few steps forward.

Suddenly.

Li Yi noticed it and turned around abruptly, his pupils constricting.

The person who had been leaning against the wall was now eerily right behind him.

“This corpse is following us,” Li Yi said with a mix of shock and unease.

“Are you kidding?” Guo You’s heart also skipped a beat.

Leuk Qingqing seemed to sense something; her face changed and she said, “Hurry, don’t stop, this is very abnormal, the real ghost might be nearby.”

The three of them immediately picked up their pace, running swiftly to leave this place, heading for the meeting point.

The security guard, who had followed for a few steps and eerily stood still, was now motionless.

He didn’t continue to follow the three anymore.

But a subtle detail went unnoticed by everyone.

As the light from ahead shone over, the motionless corpse’s shadow was now absent.

Yes.

There was nothing behind the corpse, regardless of how bright the light was, it couldn’t cast a shadow, just like the other eerie individuals here.

However, when that corpse was moving earlier, it clearly had an incomplete shadow behind it.

That incomplete shadow of the ghost… had run off.

Meanwhile.

Yang Jian, Li Yang, and Yang Xiaohua had already arrived outside the airport apron.

Inside the large apron, several planes were stranded.

But right now, Yang Jian slightly raised his head to look up at the sky.

He saw a passenger plane flying high above, heading towards them.

“They’ve arrived,” Yang Jian checked the time.

It almost matched up.

The charter flight from Dachang City had reached Dachuan City and was now preparing to land.

At this moment, Li Yi and the others also arrived at the apron.
