"It worked?"

Looking at his twisted, deformed arm, riddled with cracks, Yang Jian felt that the ghostly figure attached to it was no longer out of control.

The arm regained sensation immediately.

Although his arm was no longer recognizable, he felt no pain.

"Click-clack~!"

The sound of joints turning rang out, and the next moment, Yang Jian's arm was restored in an almost bizarre way. The cracks on his arm were still there and had not been repaired, so it seemed that his body needed to heal itself.

"It takes two Ghost Eye to suppress the arm of a ghostly figure. Sure enough, if the ghostly figure gains a body, its terror level will increase dramatically. It is weakest in its shadow form. I really don't know if what was written on that human skin paper was true or false. Can this thing really be perfectly controlled?"

Looking at his arm, which was gradually recovering, his expression remained grave.

"Yang Jian, are you alright?"

Zhang Liqin asked cautiously, her anxiety even greater than Yang Jian's.

Faced with this situation, she could only watch silently as a bystander, completely unable to take any action.

"It's alright for now. My previous thinking was correct. If it's just controlling one arm, it's still barely possible." Yang Jian touched his left hand.

Although it was conscious, it was cold and stiff, like the arm of a corpse.

"Yang Jian, what are you doing over there? At this critical moment, you must not do anything dangerous. There aren't many Ghost Tamer in Dachang City, and your existence is crucial. If your situation deteriorates, it could very well affect the subsequent situation."

Liu Xiaoyu immediately reminded him via satellite positioning on her phone.

Judging from Yang Jian's previous conversation, he seems to be making some dangerous attempt.

"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to remind me. It's precisely because of this special environment that I'm trying to tap into the abilities of the vengeful spirit within my body in order to deal with any situation that may arise next," Yang Jian.

"You should consult Professor Wang about research on vengeful ghosts. He's a leader in this field, and no one has done more thorough research than him."

Liu Xiaoyu suggested, "I can contact them for you right away if you need it."

"No need, I'm almost done here."

Yang Jian didn't really trust Wang Xiaoming, and besides, he had just killed his brother. Asking for help now would be incredibly disrespectful.

"You'd better keep quiet for now. I need to deal with some current situations. If you have time to talk to me, you might as well check if the files I requested are ready. Oh, and I need a copy of Zhao Kaiming's file too."

"Then be careful."

Liu Xiaoyu did not disturb Yang Jian's handling of the paranormal event.

"Miss Zhang, please stand still. I'm about to make my third attempt," Yang Jian said again.

Zhang Liqin stood there nervously; "I'm ready, come on."

Yang Jian raised his arm with a solemn expression. His entire arm was enveloped in a faint red light, which was the power of the Ghost Eye being released.

According to his plan, he would first use the power of the Ghost Domain to etherealize the bodies of ordinary people, but the effects on vengeful ghosts would definitely be different. Even though the Ghost Infant and Zhang Liqin had already merged, as long as there were differences between the two, he could directly distinguish them. Then, he would grab the Ghost Infant with the arm attached to the ghost shadow and take it out without damaging any internal organs.

Suddenly.

With a swift movement of his hand, he suddenly reached out and grabbed at Zhang Liqin's slightly protruding belly.

An unimaginable scene unfolded.

Yang Jian's entire hand mysteriously disappeared into her stomach, yet Zhang Liqin felt no pain whatsoever; only a chilling sensation seemed to spread through her body.

But the next moment...

The Ghost Infant inside Zhang Liqin's belly was wriggling rapidly, darting under her skin and even burrowing upwards along the flesh.

The two could clearly see that the raised area was constantly moving.

"Yang, Yang Jian, it, it's moving?" Zhang Liqin's face turned pale with fright.

"It's not moving, it's running; it sensed the danger I posed."

Yang Jian's gaze sharpened, and he took a step forward, his entire arm disappearing into Zhang Liqin's body, his palm reaching directly towards the writhing Ghost Infant.

Before it reached his chest cavity, he felt his hand grasp something.

A cold, living creature struggled incessantly; its fist-sized body possessed an almost bizarre strength.

"Trying to run away? Get out here!" Yang Jian suddenly yanked.

The entire arm was pulled out of Zhang Liqin's stomach.

In his palm lay a strange, bluish-black infant, its eyes still closed, resembling a newborn mouse, yet it was exceptionally ferocious.

The Ghost Infant opened its mouth and let out a strange, illogical cry: Waaah!

The sound was shrill and piercing; the chilling cry could be heard throughout the entire villa, not just on this floor.

"What the hell is that?"

Jiang Yan, who was taking a shower, was so startled by the sound that she dropped the soap.

"It's a success."

Yang Jian looked at the still-developing Ghost Infant in his hand, then placed it directly into a golden box, preparing to imprison it.

But as soon as he let go, the Ghost Infant jumped up and tried to escape.

"This thing is really weird. It's so small and already so ferocious. What will it be like when it grows up?" Yang Jian wouldn't give it that chance. He picked up the withered finger next to him, pressed the Ghost Infant down, and then nailed it down.

The withered fingers pierced through the Ghost Infant's body, pinning it to the table.

The Ghost Infant let out a shrill scream, then lay motionless on the table as if dead.

Yang Jian gently moved the Ghost Infant's body to make sure it was completely still before he felt relieved.

However, he knew that although the Ghost Infant appeared to be dead, it was only temporarily pinned down. As long as the withered finger was removed, the Ghost Infant would immediately regain its mobility and become ferocious once again.

Along with the finger, Yang Jian placed the Ghost Infant back into a golden box, sealed it tightly, and wrapped it with several layers of gold foil to ensure its safety.

"Done." He breathed a sigh of relief after finishing all of this.

This Ghost Infant will likely find it difficult to escape from today onwards; barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be imprisoned for life.

"Yang Jian, is it done?" Zhang Liqin only dared to ask after seeing that the terrifying scene had ended.

Yang Jian, "The Ghost Infant inside you is temporarily dealt with, but I'm very curious about how it got into your body. Don't you really have any recollection of it these past few days? Or have you encountered anything strange?"

He felt there must be a reason for the appearance of this second Ghost Infant.

It couldn't have appeared in Zhang Liqin's stomach out of nowhere.

"I really don't know, I've just been going to work as usual these past few days," Zhang Liqin said.

"Has anything strange happened to the people around you? Don't overlook any unusual details. Think about it carefully," Yang Jian.

Zhang Liqin said, "Then I'll think about it some more."

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to think it over." Yang Jian began tidying up the things on the table.

Just in case, he prepared a lot of things.

However, while packing his things, Yang Jian suddenly noticed that the sky outside was becoming increasingly strange.

Through the light reflected off the glass, he saw that the night outside was not black, but had an eerie bluish tinge. This bluish-black color resembled the skin of a baby who had been dead for several days, exactly like the Ghost Infant had just taken from Zhang Liqin's body.

"The Ghost Infant is definitely related to this major event that is happening. Zhang Liqin's situation is definitely not accidental. To completely understand this matter, we may have to wait until the problem comes to light on its own," Yang Jian thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Liqin suddenly said, "By the way, there's something I don't know if it's related to this. I heard from someone in my neighborhood that a female neighbor is pregnant and is going to the hospital for a checkup."

"Pregnancy is a very normal thing for a woman, what's so special about it?" Yang Jian asked, turning around.

"But the female neighbor in our community is infertile. She's been married for almost ten years and hasn't gotten pregnant. She often argues with her husband about it, and several times it's been a big fight. Everyone in the community knows about it," Zhang Liqin said.

Yang Jian's expression shifted. "Did this happen in the last few days?"

"Yes, it happened in the last few days." Zhang Liqin nodded very affirmatively.

"I'll have someone investigate tomorrow," Yang Jian.

Zhang Liqin guessed, "Do you think that neighbor might be in the same situation as me?"

Yang Jian's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. "Hopefully that's not the case, otherwise..."

"Or what?"

"Otherwise, this city will be finished," Yang Jian said in a low voice.

Zhang Liqin was startled. "Is it that serious?"

"It's going to be more serious than you think. I'll have someone investigate and gather evidence tomorrow. You'd better keep today's events a secret from everyone. Remember, everyone," Yang Jian.

"I'll keep this a secret, don't worry." Zhang Liqin nodded.

Yang Jian, "Your matter is temporarily settled. It's already very late. If there's nothing else, go to sleep."

After walking a short distance, he turned back and said, "What are you still standing here for? Come here."

Zhang Liqin was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and blushed. "Wait a minute, let me get my clothes."

Picking up her clothes from the ground, she immediately followed Yang Jian into the room.

And at this very moment.

In the dimly lit Dachang City, an unknown terror was brewing.

Ordinary citizens have naturally noticed this large-scale anomaly, and some panic has even broken out in certain areas. Fortunately, the event has been relatively short-lived, and the panic has not spread.

However, in an unknown corner of the city, in a dark neighborhood, the cry of a baby suddenly rang out.

Sharp and eerie, it sends chills down your spine.
