Holding the whip, Xiao Yanbao stepped over the fire door. But as soon as his calves entered the corridor, he felt as if he had stepped into a freezing winter, and his whole leg instantly got goosebumps.
In an instant, a pale golden light shone around Xiao Yanbao, and the surrounding black mist seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, immediately retreating far away, and at the same time, the biting coldness disappeared.
This is also the change brought about by the bracelet's transformation during this trip to the small mountain village.
In the past, if Xiao Yanbao wanted the bracelet to transform into a protective shield, she would have to put away the weapon that the bracelet had conjured. But now, the bracelet can both transform into a weapon and protect her.
Just as Xiao Yanbao was walking in the corridor, Li Muhao, who was standing outside the fire door, suddenly noticed that the black smoke was completely blocked by the fire door, and not a single wisp of smoke could pass through.
Li Muhao instantly understood the purpose of the fire door. Someone must have discovered the problem with this floor and installed the door here. It seemed that this must have happened before he bought the building.
Otherwise, he would never have forgotten this matter. Thinking of this, Li Muhao immediately shouted loudly into the security door.
"Yanbao! Be careful. This place must have been sealed before. Did we accidentally break the seal when we opened the door?"
However, Xiao Yanbao didn't hear Li Muhao's voice at all, as if the two of them were in two different worlds. After a few breaths, Xiao Yanbao's figure had disappeared from Li Muhao's sight.
Li Muhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He gritted his teeth and was about to rush in, but at that moment he found that the fire door was blocked by something.
Whether he pushed with his hands or kicked with his feet, he couldn't get into the corridor on the other side of the fire door. Li Muhao even considered using a magical artifact to travel to the underworld and find a powerful figure to help him.
However, Xiao Yanbao, who had already reached the end of the corridor and was about to turn into the conference room, was now carefully moving forward.
Because not far from her, a figure was standing at the entrance of the large conference room, peering into the room through the glass.
The figure was the same faint ghostly figure that had been seen outside earlier.
Xiao Yanbao had already realized that the corridor shrouded in black mist was not the same place he had seen before, or rather, what Xiao Yanbao was seeing now was an illusion created by ghosts.
The mottled walls of the corridor were now clean and bright milky white, and the large conference room had a door, from which the sounds of people having a meeting could be heard.
Xiao Yanbao was afraid of disturbing the black ghost in front of him, so he could only quietly lean against the wall, trying his best to control his breathing and minimize his presence.
The black shadowy figure stood quietly at the conference room door, looking inside. Xiao Yanbao thought about half an hour had passed when deafening applause erupted in the conference room, and at the same time, a woman's voice came through the loudspeaker.
"Thank you to all the leaders for your presence and guidance today, and thank you to all my colleagues for your support. I will definitely..."
Just then, Xiao Yanbao noticed the black shadow suddenly push open the conference room door, pull out a gleaming silver fruit knife from its waist bag, and rush inside.
Xiao Yanbao roughly guessed what was going to happen next, and immediately quietly walked into the conference room, only to see all the attendees scream.
On the floor of the platform lay a long-haired woman in a black dress, while the black ghostly figure repeatedly stabbed her in the chest and abdomen with a fruit knife, eerily without any blood splattering out.
Moreover, the people in the conference room just watched this scene and screamed. Although they were moving around in a panic, no one ran towards the conference room door.
Xiao Yanbao turned around and looked out the door. He saw that the corridor looked like it was on fire, and the glass on the conference room door was reflected in a bright red light.
So that's how it is. Xiao Yanbao turned around and wanted to walk into the corridor to verify what she had in mind, but found that she couldn't open the meeting room door.
Just as Xiao Yanbao was trying to open the conference room door, the black ghost seemed to sense something and roared angrily in Xiao Yanbao's direction.
Xiao Yanbao then noticed that the black ghost's eye sockets were completely black, as if its eyeballs had been gouged out. It seemed that the creature had only sensed someone opening the door, which was why it roared in this direction.
But the black shadow did not reach the doorway; it merely roared and threatened for a while before continuing to repeat its actions.
After a long time, the flames outside the conference room seemed to have been extinguished, and the people in the conference room disappeared as the flames went out, and the entire conference room returned to the state that Xiao Yanbao had seen before.
Even the traces of the spider webs that Deputy General Manager Yang had brushed away were still there, and the long-haired woman lying on the floor of the platform had disappeared.
Only the black ghostly figure remained, stabbing the ground repeatedly with a fruit knife, while its mouth, now a black hole, emitted mournful roars.
Xiao Yanbao frowned, watching the black ghostly figure repeating its actions without saying a word. After a while, the ghostly figure's shrill roar gradually turned into a loud wail, and after a few minutes, it turned into a low sob.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Yanbao did not feel hostile towards the ghostly man because of his terrifying appearance and hallucinatory actions.
All she wanted to know was why the other person could walk in the sun and why the ghostly figure could still survive in the world, even though it was so weak.
