"Did it work?"
Wang Xiaoming felt his vision blur, and he entered a red world.
It was still the hospital, still the ward, but the gloom had vanished, and the terrifying figures around them had disappeared without a trace.
He was not surprised. His research into malignant ghosts ran deeper than anyone else's, and he knew Yang Jian had forcibly brought him into the Ghost Domain.
