Inside and outside the old mansion, the actions of Li Jun and Wang Chaling continued.
Meanwhile, in the first-floor lobby of the Ning'an Building in Dadong City, Yang Jian and his team were still deliberating on how to resolve the supernatural incident codenamed "Red Wooden Bench."
At this moment.
The empty lobby was filled with rows of long red wooden benches, and on each bench sat an eerie corpse. These bodies seemed to have died not long ago, yet their appearances were grotesque—some were blue-black with bruising, others twisted and flushed red, and some even preserved rigid expressions of terror.
They were all ordinary people who had triggered the ghost's killing pattern and died within the building.
But whether they were still "human" now was unsure.
At this instant.
The Ghost Child, wearing ceremonial burial robes stripped from a corpse and barefoot, ran straight toward the lobby doors. It passed the first red wooden bench that stood in its way.
