The female ghost screamed sharply, struggling wildly to break free from the vortex's grip.
But it was all in vain; she could only watch helplessly as she was pulled closer and closer.
Just as the ghost was about to be dragged into the vortex, a series of metallic clashes rang out in the dark corridor.
At the same time, three black chains shot out swiftly.
The chains flew fast and soon appeared before everyone.
Under the cold gaze of the Little Loli, the chains pierced the ghost's body and coiled tightly around her.
The chains suddenly tightened, attempting to pull the ghost back into the corridor!
Seeing this, the Little Loli's eyes grew even colder.
When she realized the ghost was about to break free from the vortex's control, she finally grew furious.
"You've got some nerve, daring to interfere with my business!"
Boom!
An intense wave of yin energy exploded from the Little Loli.
At the same time, a tall and graceful figure silently rose from within her body.
Shrouded in yin energy, the figure was hard to see clearly.
But Lin Chen could feel the overwhelming fury radiating from this terrifying presence.
The ghost became even more frightened, trembling as if facing a natural enemy.
"Hehe, times have changed, and yet a mere ghost messenger dares act so arrogantly before me."
From deep within the corridor came a sinister laugh.
Suddenly, the black chains tightened violently, dragging the ghost back inside the corridor.
After a long silence, no more sounds came from the corridor—apparently, the chain's owner had left with the ghost.
Lin Chen clearly saw the yin energy that had filled the lobby dissipate in an instant.
It seemed they had indeed left.
Just then, the figure hidden in the yin energy suddenly turned to look at him.
Lin Chen sized it up curiously and asked, "Are you a ghost messenger?"
"So you have the Yin-Yang Eye, no wonder you can see my true form."
Thanks to the system's Emergency Evacuation, Lin Chen felt no danger, so he boldly asked, "Brother Ghost Messenger, what were those black chains just now?"
He was especially curious because in his own Screening Room, he had seen two female ghost employees bound by golden chains.
These black chains seemed quite different.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't; it won't do you any good!"
The ghost messenger's tone was icy, and the sudden appearance of the black chains had startled and angered it.
Lin Chen smirked.
If it won't tell me, I'll just get stronger with Fear Points and punch all the posers away.
The ghost messenger vanished in a flash of black light, along with the dense yin energy, descending underground.
After it left, the Little Loli seemed to lose support and fainted.
"You're just leaving now?" Lin Chen was stunned.
He looked down at the fainted Little Loli and shouted, "What's wrong with this little girl? Damn, are all the officials so irresponsible nowadays?"
After waiting a long time with no response, it was clear the ghost messenger was gone.
"Forget it, better call the police!"
So many deaths in one night would surely shock all of Ningzhou City.
Running away secretly was not an option—he had left footprints and fingerprints, and the so-called master was livestreaming the whole time; he would definitely be caught on camera.
If the police found him, it would be hard to explain.
Better to report it directly; after all, he didn't kill anyone, he was just a bystander.
With a sigh, Lin Chen took out his phone and dialed Yao Yaoling.
"Hello, police station? I want to report an incident—do you know the haunted office building in Economic Development Zone? There were a lot of deaths tonight. You need to send officers quickly... How many people died? Wait, I think there were seventeen or eighteen... You're joking? I'm serious! Seventeen or eighteen people were all killed by a female ghost."
Minutes later, a piercing siren echoed in the distance.
Soon, a police car stopped in front of the office building. Two uniformed officers quickly got out.
"Who called the police?"
A tall and a short officer pushed open the door and entered the lobby, asking.
"I'm the one who called," Lin Chen said as he got up from the ground.
The short officer shone his powerful flashlight at three people lying on the floor and asked, "What happened here?"
"Oh, those guys and the little girl are bystanders who fainted. As for that corpse, I don't know him," Lin Chen answered.
"Corpse?" The short officer was stunned and squatted to inspect.
The taller officer asked, "You said seventeen or eighteen people died? Where are the others?"
Lin Chen pointed to the stairwell, "They're all in the stairway."
Hearing this, the officer entered the stairwell with some doubt.
Within minutes, terrified screams echoed from the stairwell.
"Little Lin, quick! Notify the criminal investigation team to come immediately!"
