Attempted Control

With everything ready, Yang Jian's attention was not on the mature and charming Zhang Liqin, but on her slightly protruding belly.

He knew very well what a developing Ghost Infant meant.

Although it's unknown what connection this Ghost Infant has with Zhou Zheng's Ghost Infant from back then, the most urgent task now is to retrieve it.

If Zhang Liqin is corrupted too deeply by the Ghost Infant in a few days, she will be beyond saving.

They can only wait to die.

"I need to try some things, don't be nervous," Yang Jian said, standing in front of her.

Zhang Liqin tensed up and nodded solemnly.

"Let's try it first," Yang Jian thought to himself.

The next moment, red light emanated from his body, and the Ghost Eye on his forehead opened instantly, immediately enveloping Zhang Liqin in Ghost Domain aura.

"Won't it have any impact?" I asked, looking at her slightly protruding belly.

The Ghost Infant showed no reaction or resistance and entered the Ghost Domain smoothly.

"Just as I guessed before, now we need a second attempt." Yang Jian didn't hesitate, and the shadow beneath his feet immediately began to change.

The black shadow, thick as ink, flowed slowly across the ground like mercury, and then it rose up from the ground.

A moment later, a headless shadow stood eerily behind him.

This was the first time Zhang Liqin had seen Yang Jian's true appearance so clearly. It was indeed eerie and terrifying, because she knew in her heart that neither the extra red eye nor the tall black figure behind him were human, but two truly terrifying ghosts.

The ghostly figure slowly approached her.

They were almost touching. Zhang Liqin felt a chill approaching, making her hair stand on end and goosebumps rise on her fair skin. A coldness surged from the soles of her feet throughout her body.

"Behave yourself," Yang Jian said in a low voice.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Zhang Liqin's face hardened.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about this shadow of mine. It wants to take over your body. As expected, the nature of a vengeful ghost is still there. If I suppress it, it will go out of control."

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, cracks suddenly appeared on the ghost's body, and inside those black cracks...

It concealed five scarlet eyes.

The appearance of the Ghost Eye immediately stopped the ghost's movements, freezing it in place, unable to move.

You can only move where I tell you to move.

Yang Jian closed one of the Ghost Eye on the ghostly figure, and one of its black arms regained its mobility.

This time it behaved itself.

The ghostly figure's arm reached towards Zhang Liqin's slightly protruding belly.

"Yang, Yang Jian?" This bizarre situation made Zhang Liqin, who was usually calm, begin to feel fear and panic.

"It's alright, trust me." Yang Jian frowned deeply.

The ghostly hand had no physical form; it seemed to pass directly through Zhang Liqin's fair skin and disappear into her stomach, just like a shadow.

However, the attempt failed the next moment.

The ghostly hand passed directly through Zhang Liqin's body without touching the Ghost Infant inside.

"The second attempt failed, just as I expected." Yang Jian wasn't surprised, because it was all within his expectations.

Sure enough, if Zhang Liqin's body were to become ethereal, the Ghost Infant would also become ethereal, and the ghostly figure would be untouchable.

Therefore, it is necessary to make Zhang Liqin's body ethereal while keeping the Ghost Infant intact, so that the Ghost Infant can be perfectly extracted.

Brute force can certainly remove it, but the person will die.

Yang Jian is saving people, not killing them, and he won't use overly radical methods.

"Has that thing been taken out?" Zhang Liqin trembled slightly. If Yang Jian hadn't been standing there so confidently, she would have screamed and run away by now.

Yang Jian, "We need one last try. If this one also fails, your situation will become very bad. But don't be afraid. I'm 80% confident about the third try, but it will take some time to prepare. Stand here and wait for me."

His third attempt was to fuse the Ghost Domain and the Ghost Eye, so that the two abilities could work together perfectly to extract the Ghost Infant.

This requires a medium.

The medium is Yang Jian's own body, because he is Ghost Tamer.

Only Yang Jian himself can combine the abilities of two kinds of vengeful spirits; spirits cannot be combined with each other.

"So now I'm back to square one, using the method described on the human skin paper: hang myself in front of the ghost mirror, revive from death, and perfectly control the resurrected ghost?"

Yang Jian felt that he had unknowingly walked down the same old path again.

Could I have been scammed?

Let's leave that aside for now. Since it's just an experiment, there's no need to take unnecessary risks. We only need to test a small portion.

Yang Jian suddenly looked at his right hand.

Even if the fusion of just one hand fails, the risk is manageable.

"Okay, let's do it that way." Yang Jian nodded.

However, after looking at his right hand and pondering for a while, he said, "I'll switch to my left hand instead."

So he decided to try it with his left hand.

"Miss Zhang, do you see that lighter and candlestick over there? If I lose control, just give the order, and you immediately grab the lighter and light the red candle," Yang Jian. "If everything is normal, then it's not necessary."

"Okay, okay," Zhang Liqin nodded.

Yang Jian was just doing it for an extra layer of insurance.

I was just dealing with a minor ghost, not some extremely dangerous supernatural event, so how could I allow things to go wrong?

I took a small breath; now it was my turn to be nervous.

The ghostly figure retracted and stood behind him once more.

Then, the ghostly black arm moved again. This time, the ghostly arm wasn't used on anyone else, but slowly disappeared into Yang Jian's left arm.

He was trying to control one of the ghost's arms.

Using the Ghost Eye to suppress it still has a chance of success.

However, there is also the risk of failure. If he fails, Yang Jian will face two possibilities: either he will have to give one of his arms to Ghost Shadow, or Ghost Shadow will go out of control.

However, the second possibility is that it is limited by the ghost candle; within the candlelight of the ghost candle, the ghost shadow cannot go out of control.

Therefore, Yang Jian only needs to worry about whether he can save his arm.

"It's not just about saving Zhang Liqin, but also about finding a new path for myself if I succeed, based on controlling two ghosts, without having to risk hanging myself," Yang Jian thought to himself.

At that moment, as the ghostly figure merged into Yang Jian, he felt a chill envelop his left hand, which was rapidly losing sensation.

It felt as if his arm no longer belonged to him, but rather that someone was vying for control of it.

Being possessed by a ghost is like handing your body over to the ghost; you are no longer yourself.

"Suppress it." Yang Jian immediately transferred the Ghost Eye within his body.

A Ghost Eye immediately burst forth from the flesh of the palm.

The chill in his palms quickly faded, and he felt his hands gradually regain feeling after being frozen.

"Did it succeed?" Yang Jian asked with a solemn expression.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

The ghostly figure in my arm went out of control and began to stir restlessly. The skin on my entire arm was cracking inch by inch, like fragile porcelain about to shatter.

In less than ten seconds, Yang Jian's arm will be destroyed due to the uncontrollable ghost shadow.

"Damn it, this ghost's power is stronger than I imagined. I didn't feel anything before it had a body, but once it has a body, the threat will increase dramatically." Yang Jian tried his best to control it, but his power was no match for the ghost's power.

At this moment, the entire arm was cracking and twisting strangely; to a normal person, this arm would be useless.

"Would you like some candles?" Zhang Liqin asked hastily, startled by the state of Yang Jian's arm.

"Not for now, let me try again." Yang Jian gritted his teeth and transferred the last Ghost Eye in his body to his arm.

The Ghost Eye on his forehead disappeared, and a seventh eye appeared on his arm.

The Ghost Eye opened, and the eerie agitation within his arm immediately subsided.
