"Professor Wang really was stubborn. He could have left, but he changed his mind halfway through and insisted on taking the ghost coffin with him. Wasn't that just asking for trouble? That thing was occupied by a ghost now. To take the ghost coffin, they had to drive that ghost away first. And it had undergone some unpredictable change—it had become extremely dangerous."
In the outskirts near the laboratory.
Several people stood on a hillside, looking out at the area ahead that was gradually being swallowed by darkness.
The Ghost Domain had formed again. Beyond that, some unpredictable changes had occurred within it. It seemed to display the abilities of multiple ghosts.
"Professor Wang must have discovered something even more important at the last minute, something that made him decide to take the ghost coffin."
Jiang Shangbai narrowed his eyes. "What exactly did he discover that he was willing to risk so much just to change his mind and snatch that coffin from a ghost?"
Anything Wang Xiaoming valued so highly had to be tremendously valuable.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shangbai knew too little to infer any of the inside details.
"No matter what Professor Wang discovered, given the current situation, this is the best way to handle it. The ghost doesn't seem to be moving anymore. Let it stay here. Even if it can't be contained, at least it won't cause any harm." The speaker was Zhong Shan.
He had disagreed with Professor Wang and the others earlier, believing that continuing to take risks was not worthwhile.
At a critical moment, that brief disagreement had produced two completely different outcomes.
One group had successfully left the danger zone while the Ghost Messenger incident was brewing again. The other group had followed Wang Xiaoming and fallen into the Ghost Domain once more.
