The nanny's room downstairs.

When the police arrived, the nanny began to convulse again, her limbs trembling violently on the bed as if being pulled, vomiting black blood, and the black in her eyes spreading until the whites of her eyes disappeared.

His life was hanging by a thread, and there even seemed to be a risk of mutation.

The forensic team instinctively snapped a few photos, then muttered, "Is this even human?"

Zhang Gou was terrified after just one glance. He dared not say anything about ghosts anymore and tried to slip away.

Jiang Nuo and Si Yan strolled in, blocking Zhang Gou's path.

"Scientific God of War, are you already thinking of leaving?" Jiang Nuo chuckled and winked at him.

Zhang Gou was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he couldn't utter a single word. He could only watch helplessly as Jiang Nuo passed by.

"Could you please squeeze out a little more blood?" Jiang Nuo handed the knife to the policeman. "You'd better do it yourself, otherwise people will say I assaulted a police officer."

The nanny's condition was becoming increasingly urgent. Her black pupils had expanded to their maximum extent, and the corners of her mouth were slowly twitching, making her look completely inhuman. But Jiang Nuo remained calm and composed. While the police were frantically trying to figure things out, he still had time to teach her how to do things better.

"Prick your finger and smear the blood on her forehead, but be careful not to get bitten."

The police captain couldn't help but ask, "What if someone bites your hand?"

Jiang Nuo scratched his face. "Then your colleague will have to go and bring over another bed."

The police captain's vision went black, but with a life at stake, he couldn't ignore it and cut his finger without hesitation.

The other police officers and forensic team members rushed forward to hold down the nanny's trembling limbs, suppressing their discomfort at seeing her face.

The captain reached out and dripped blood as quickly as possible; the droplet landed on the nanny's forehead.

But when the first drop fell, the nanny reacted even more violently; three policemen were unable to hold her arms down and she was violently thrown to the ground.

Jiang Nuo raised his hand and used his Spiritual Power to suppress the nanny. The invisible energy blades were like a giant net, pressing the nanny down so she couldn't move and could only twist her hair and scream.

Si Yan looked at the stunned police captain, "Continue."

"Okay, okay."

The captain continued to squeeze out blood, and the blood dripped faster and faster, landing on the nanny's forehead as if she were being washed with blood.

The struggles gradually slowed, and the nanny fainted again.

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Nuo shouted sharply.

The captain reacted extremely quickly, immediately stepping back two steps to block with his arms. A wisp of black smoke flew out of the nanny's eyes, filled with resentment.

Si Yan narrowed his cold eyes, raised his hand to grab the ball of black energy, and surprisingly sensed an unusually sharp dodge.

"Resentment transforms into spirits..." Si Yan murmured, clenching his fingers again until Jiang Nuo took out the jade porcelain bottle and absorbed the resentful spirits into it.

"It has already transformed into a vengeful spirit. We must deal with that vengeful tomb as soon as possible; there may be other evil things inside."

Si Yan said in a low voice, "We need to go to the Old Stockade Gate."

Jiang Nuo shook the jade porcelain bottle in her hand and leaned closer to listen to the sounds inside. "The resentment clinging to the burial objects alone, once tainted with human lives, can transform into vengeful spirits and gain sentience. It's indeed quite troublesome."

[Ahhh, is the case about to be solved? This is so dramatic, God Nuo could start a live stream!]

However, it's unlikely that God Nuo will voluntarily start streaming; it's much more likely that streamer Drama will shamelessly follow him.

[Laughing so hard! Zhang Gou only came because he didn't believe in ghosts, but now his understanding and imagination have been completely overturned!]

[ Zhang Gou, come out and say something! Zhang Gou-- ]

Zhang Gou finally heard the noise inside the house subside, and he had just peeked in halfway, intending to continue spying, when he heard a rolling sound coming from the corner.

He looked closely and was immediately terrified, his face turning deathly pale. He froze on the spot, his head stuck in the door, too afraid to move.

A wet, ghostly hand emerged from behind the curtains, its long, blood-stained fingernails gripping the ankle of the forensic pathologist standing on the outermost edge.

"Ahhh!" The forensic doctor was forced to fall forward, his body being grabbed by a ghostly hand and dragged behind the curtains at an extremely fast speed.

The police reacted quickly and tried to stop it, but were frightened by the ghostly face peeking through the curtains. Long, dirty hair was sticky and clinging to the face, and eyes with no whites stared intently at them. The lips looked like a shriveled rag, all wrinkled and crumpled.

After the initial shock, the police officers didn't hesitate to rush over and grab the forensic doctor's hand, but the female ghost was incredibly strong; the combined weight of the five officers couldn't overcome her arm.

Jiang Nuo and Si Yan were still suppressing the vengeful spirit when they turned around and saw that the police officers were already on the ground.

Jiang Nuo chuckled, "Are you guys playing train?"

"Quickly, save them!" the captain shouted, urging them on.

Jiang Nuo shot out a burst of Spiritual Power, and the ghost hand, feeling the pain, immediately retracted, and the ghost face behind the curtain also disappeared.

The captain mustered his courage and yanked back the curtains, only to find a white wall behind him!

In an instant, cold sweat broke out. If it weren't for the dark scratch marks on the ankle of the forensic doctor who had just been caught, it would have been even more illogical than a nightmare.

Only then did Zhang Gou dare to continue, no longer caring about being ridiculed by the comments. He obediently found a corner to hide in, not daring to utter a single word.

"Aren't you going to catch that ghost?" The captain asked, genuinely curious as Jiang Nuo and Si Yan continued to examine the jade porcelain bottle.

Si Yan turned to look at him, her tone resentful, "You expect me to handle two cases for one case?"

"It's just a prankster that's absorbed some resentment. If you want to catch it, you can go and catch it yourself."

Jiang Nuo suddenly looked away and counted the people in the room. "Where is Madam Wang?"

Zhang Gou spoke in a trembling voice, still in shock.

"She's gone. She ran out when she left the study."

Si Yan turned his head and sensed that the resentment in the villa was gone; it must have belonged to the little ghost.

"She took the kid away."

"Chase them quickly!"

The police were good at this; they immediately drew their guns and moved in.

The resentment in the room was cleared away, and the nanny, now back to normal, finally woke up. Her first words upon seeing them were a plea for help.

The nanny gripped the blanket tightly, ignoring the blood on her face, and asked Jiang Nuo for help with her blood-soaked face.

"I haven't done anything wrong, I don't want to end up like that! I don't want to die like Mr. Wang!"

Jiang Nuo stared directly into those aged eyes, as if she could see through them all.

"You sound like you know what kind of trouble Wang Laoliu has committed."

The nanny hesitated for a moment, struggling with her thoughts, before finally speaking with her eyes closed.

"Mr. and Madam Wang... they used a fetus to change their fate!"
