Chapter 169 Shattered Mirror
Hearing Wang Genquan's somewhat pleased words, Wang Liang frowned:
"You're on the right track? Ha, you're right, but also wrong, and ridiculously so. How did you get here?"

Wang Genquan was puzzled by Wang Liang's words, but still responded:

"What do you mean by 'completely wrong'? I followed the door numbers in those corridors, heading towards the smaller numbers. Near room number 1, I saw an exit, went in, and arrived at this place."

At this point, a hint of unease appeared on Wang Genquan's somewhat aged face.

“But this isn’t the outside world either; there are ghosts here too. I originally wanted to take the elevator directly to the first floor, but there was a ghost in the elevator, and I felt that the ghost was about to kill someone, so I had to come down to the second floor ahead of time.”

"The exit outside room number 1? Did you enter through that exit at ten o'clock and get here?" Wang Liang asked, frowning.

Wang Genquan shook his head and said, "Uh, I don't know if it's ten o'clock. I don't even know what time it is now, but I haven't been here long."

Wang Liang nodded and said, "You're unlucky, but the outcome isn't that different."

He's not an outcast; people like Wang Genquan simply can't leave the Caesars Hotel alive. Whether they walk out into reality or are accidentally trapped here, there will only be one outcome.

dead.

Wang Genquan sensed that the man in front of him seemed to know a lot about this place, so he asked somewhat eagerly:
"What do you mean by that? By the way, who are you? You came from outside, so you should know where the exit is, right? It's on the first floor, isn't it?"

“Tell me your name before asking someone else’s name,” Wang Liang said.

"My name is Wang Genquan, and I have been trapped here for a long time."

Wang Genquan sighed. "It's been much longer than a long time."

Although he didn't retain many memories, judging from the records he left behind, he has probably been trapped here for decades.

After confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Wang Genquan, Wang Liang said coldly:

"Wang Liang, as for the export, I have no obligation to tell you."

After saying that, Wang Liang continued walking forward, preparing to take the elevator upstairs.

The fact that he was able to stop and chat with Wang Genquan for a few minutes was already a testament to the fact that this was the first time he had encountered a cursed person from the Caesars Hotel, and that, in the original story, this person was one of the better ones among the cursed individuals.

Seeing that Wang Liang would say a few words and leave, Wang Gen's expression changed completely.

Wang Genquan glanced at the direction Wang Liang had come from, then at Wang Liang who was walking towards the elevator. His eyes lingered for a few seconds before he quickly followed Wang Liang.

"Please wait a moment, I'm sorry, but I really need an answer. You're the first outsider I've met in a long time. Well, maybe I just didn't remember the others before, but please."

Wang Liang kept walking without turning his head, only glancing at Wang Genquan who was following beside him out of the corner of his eye.

The other person's tone was pleading, but he remained unmoved, striding forward while saying expressionlessly:

"Everything comes at a price. Why should I tell you directly? And what can you give me in return?"

As he was saying this, Wang Liang suddenly realized that Wang Genquan might actually have something he wanted.

That was also a vengeful ghost associated with mirrors. It used a mirror to reflect a person's image, establishing a cursed connection. Then, by crushing the mirror, it could remotely cause that person's body to shatter like a mirror.

It is a special kind of curse attack that binds a person's life to a mirror.

If Sadako could control that vengeful spirit, she might have a way to launch attacks from a distance, layering them together to converge at a single point. The demon fingernails are still too weak.

In the original storyline, before Wang Genquan and others had their final battle with Yang Jian on the third floor, they controlled the memories and vengeful spirits that had previously existed in room number 10.

Xianglan and Wang Genquan both commanded two ghosts during the final battle. One of the ghosts on Wang Genquan's body came from room number 10, and the other should be the vengeful ghost he commanded in another room, the one that could shatter people like mirrors.

When Yang Jian visited Caesars Hotel for the second time, he encountered that same vengeful ghost at an intersection.

The sound of shattering glass could be heard coming from the depths of the corridor, not from room 10 near the entrance, but the exact room number was unknown.

Wang Liang only knew that when Yang Jian arrived, he heard the ghost's movements around the fourth intersection.

However, while the room numbers in the haunted area of ​​Caesars Hotel are fixed, their locations are not; they may not still be at the fourth intersection now.

Moreover, there are too many intersections and rooms crisscrossing the area. Who knows which route the fourth intersection is on, or which room deep within the fourth intersection the vengeful ghost is in?

Wang Liang turned to look at Wang Genquan. The aura emanating from Wang Genquan now carried a strange quality, suggesting that he had likely become a ghost tamer.

But the possibility that he is currently controlling the glass ghost in that room is very small.

But had he encountered this place before? Or had he recorded the location of that vengeful ghost in the past?

Wang Liang considered invading Wang Genquan's memories, but then suddenly realized that someone like Wang Genquan, who was created by supernatural forces, would be judged dead by the Caesars Hotel once his memories were invaded, and would be directly resurrected.

In the original storyline, Yang Jian's attempt to invade A Nan's memories failed completely.

Thinking of this, Wang Liang frowned. It seemed that he couldn't use forceful methods directly, otherwise it might all come to nothing.

Wang Genquan's room for recording information was room 600 in the endless corridor, but that was too deep, and he might not even get what Wang Liang wanted to know.

It would be best to obtain that location through Wang Genquan himself, provided that Wang Genquan already knows about it.

Wang Genquan felt a chill run down his spine under Wang Liang's somewhat dangerous gaze, and hesitated before asking:

"W-what's wrong? I don't know what I can give you, but as long as you can tell me how to get out, I can tell you anything you want to know, as long as I know it."

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the elevator.

Seeing that Wang Liang still did not reply, Wang Genquan scratched his thinning hair helplessly.

Seeing Wang Liang press the button for the upward elevator, he immediately spoke:

"By the way, I can tell you something right now. There's a ghost in this elevator, but it won't kill anyone right away. As long as you get out of the elevator before it does, there won't be any major problems. I also know a lot of other vengeful ghosts and how to avoid them safely. I wonder if this can get you an answer in return?"

While waiting for the elevator, Wang Liang frowned and thought for a moment before asking:
"Did you come across a room in the corridor you passed through when you came here, where you could hear the sound of breaking glass?"

Wang Genquan was taken aback by the question, then a conflicted look appeared in his eyes.

He does know that room. In his past records, he even wrote down a plan to control the vengeful spirit in that room. The plan is highly uncertain, but it can be tried in an emergency.

However, since he had unexpectedly gained control of a ghost after his resurrection, he had no intention of going there to take risks.

But should we really tell the person next to us about the location of this powerful ghost that we have the opportunity to control?

After hesitating for only a second, Wang Genquan wanted to slap himself, feeling like he had gone crazy.

What's there to hesitate about? Nothing can compare to the opportunity to go out!
