The Excess Birth Incident?

The security at the Dachang City Gymnasium is extremely tight, reaching the highest level currently available in the city.

Any vehicle entering or leaving this area must undergo strict inspection, and nearby roads are completely blocked off. Anyone attempting to cross without permission will be forcibly detained.

Yang Jian drove past three security checkpoints before finally stopping next to an indoor basketball court in the stadium.

When he entered the basketball court, it had already been set up as a temporary conference center, with a huge conference table made up of ping-pong tables. Many people had already arrived.

A quick glance.

I immediately spotted many familiar faces.

Sun Yi, Zhao Kaiming, and even Ye Feng are here.

"Yang Jian is here!"

Someone said something, and everyone else put down what they were doing and looked at Yang Jian, who had just walked in.

If Yang Jian was just an insignificant nobody in Dachang City a month ago, now, it's no exaggeration to say that his existence can influence the fate of the Dachang City.

A person who controlled two ghosts, a Ghost Tamer solved many incidents, and a being who nearly killed many people present.

With Wang Xiaoqiang's death, no one can underestimate Yang Jian anymore.

"I know I'm handsome and popular with women, but you don't need to look at me like that," Yang Jian. "Ye Feng? You actually came to this meeting too."

His gaze sharpened as he looked at Ye Feng, who was wearing a trench coat and a hat, trying to keep a low profile.

Ye Feng looked up and smiled, "Professor Wang sent me. He dropped the warrant for my arrest. Strictly speaking, I'm no longer a criminal. Yang Jian, I know we have conflicts, but at this critical juncture, can we work together to resolve the current issue first?"

"The number of Ghost Tamer in Dachang City is already very small. Losing even one more will reduce everyone's chances of survival. If you don't take responsibility for yourself, you should at least take responsibility for the citizens of the entire city."

"If we hadn't resolved this incident, how many people do you think would have survived in this city?"

Yang Jian, "No matter how many people survive, the score between us will be settled."

"Of course, but we might not even live to see the reckoning. Given the current situation, whether we can even survive is a question," Ye Feng said.

Zhao Kaiming sat there silently, not saying a word. He wouldn't get involved; if he could, he'd be happy for Yang Jian and Ye Feng to keep fighting.

"Yang Jian, please have a seat. We can discuss anything after the meeting," Sun Yi said.

Yang Jian understood what it meant for Wang Xiaoming to call Ye Feng over at this time.

In the face of this matter, we must make full use of the power of all the Ghost Tamer currently in Dachang City to resolve it together.

In the face of life and death, all disputes and hatred should be temporarily set aside.

"Then I hope you'll behave yourselves in front of me and truly intend to help resolve this matter. If I discover any underhanded tactics on your part, I'm sorry, but dealing with you will be my top priority." Yang Jian sat down with a cold face.

Ye Feng smiled and said nothing more.

After waiting a while longer.

Several more Ghost Tamer arrived one after another, one of whom surprised Yang Jian.

It was Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was originally a member of the Xiaoqiang Club. He survived in Huanggang Village and obtained the method to control the second ghost from Wang Xiaoming.

It now appears that Zhang Han has successfully survived.

"Yang Jian, you really are here too." Zhang Han greeted Yang Jian warmly upon seeing him. "Thanks to you, I didn't die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost."

"Looks like you're in luck, congratulations. I just hope we'll have the same luck next time," Yang Jian.

"Don't worry, with so many people gathered together, resolving this will be a piece of cake." Zhang Han was very optimistic at this moment. Perhaps it was because the time for the vengeful ghost to revive had been extended, which improved his mood a lot, and he could even laugh at this moment.

"You're Yang Jian? I heard you killed Wang Xiaoqiang." Another unfamiliar Ghost Tamer stared at Yang Jian with a strange and unfriendly expression.

"Who are you?"

Ye Feng calmly said, "He used to be a member of the club, I think his name was He Chuan. He wasn't often at the club. Last time I guessed he might be dead, killed by a resurrected vengeful ghost, but I didn't expect him to still be alive."

"He Chuan? Never heard of him. What, do you have a problem with me killing Wang Xiaoqiang?" Yang Jian.

He Chuan said coldly, "I have a lot of complaints, so much so that I want to kill you."

Yang Jian smiled. "Is that so? It seems that taking down the club did offend quite a few people. But don't embarrass yourself by showing up here looking like an extra. If I were an author, you wouldn't survive more than three chapters in my novel. If I were a director, you'd be finished in the first episode."

"Try saying that again," He Chuan said.

Zhang Han, standing nearby, said in a deep voice, "He Chuan, calm down. If you go crazy right now, don't blame us for joining forces to deal with you."

"Calm down, now is not the time to cause trouble," Ye Feng said calmly. "If you want to cause trouble, I won't allow it."

Making a scene at this time would be bad for everyone.

However, I heard that He Chuan's mental state is not very stable and he hasn't appeared at the club for a long time. I estimate that it won't be long before the vengeful ghost resurrects.

"Ye Feng, I'll put up with this for now out of respect for you, but I won't for long."

He Chuan said, the madness in his eyes only somewhat subdued under the pressure of the others.

"A guy who could self-destruct at any moment." Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, taking a closer look at He Chuan.

It wasn't because of He Chuan himself, but because they were afraid that this guy might die at any time from the resurrection of a vengeful ghost and cause them trouble.

"It seems everyone has arrived. We can begin today's meeting now."

A moment later, Professor Wang Xiaoming suddenly rushed in, carrying a thick stack of documents and looking somewhat tired.

At this moment, Yang Jian, Zhao Kaiming, Ye Feng, Zhang Han, He Chuan, Sun Yi, and the other three people all looked at him.

Wang Xiaoming stood in front of the comprehension table and opened a thick stack of documents in his hand; "Distribute a copy of these documents to everyone first."

The clerical staff nearby immediately distributed the materials.

"I always speak frankly and directly when I chair meetings. From my current analysis, this incident is not accidental, but a continuation of the death of the previous Ghost Tamer, the Ghost Infant Zhou Zheng, after the resurgence of the vengeful ghost." Wang Xiaoming said very seriously, "Yang Jian, you should know very well about Zhou Zheng's death, after all, he died in the Seventh Middle School Ghost Knocking incident, and you are a survivor of that incident."

The others then looked at Yang Jian.

"That's right, Zhou Zheng did see him die with his own eyes. The Ghost Infant tore open his belly and ran out. As soon as it came out, it chased after me and bit me. I was almost eaten by it. I saw it twice more in Dachang City. Once was at my classmate Wang Shanshan's house, and once was during the suicide incident in the city center. Zhao Kaiming was also present when I saw it the second time. He was Ghost Tamer at the time and he was in charge of this matter," Yang Jian said calmly.

Zhao Kaiming's expression shifted. Was this guy questioning him?

"I did handle that incident, but it was too malevolent and may have already created Ghost Domain. I didn't have the ability to resolve it." He frankly admitted his lack of ability and had nothing to be ashamed of.

Wang Xiaoming said, "The Ghost Infant that escaped from Zhou Zheng's body must have gone through three stages of change. There are relevant pictures on the second page of your file. Also, turn on the projector and show the photos."

Immediately, a projected image appeared on the white cloth behind them.

There are three pictures in the video, all of them depicting Ghost Infant. The first picture was taken by Zhou Zheng a laboratory. He is lying on a medical bed with his belly bulging out, and a baby's face is pushing up his flesh, revealing a hideous outline.

The second picture shows a dark-skinned child standing in the middle of the road, captured by a security camera.

The third image is the silhouette of an adult with a blank expression and a bluish-black aura surrounding him. The adult is standing inside a high-rise building that is more than ten stories high. The photo was taken through a glass window and is relatively clear.

"Infancy, childhood, and adolescence—these are the three most obvious changes in the Ghost Infant, and you all know what that means," Wang Xiaoming said earnestly. "This thing is growing, and my personal deduction is that it's... eating people."

"Look at this picture now."

He pressed the switch again, and the image jumped to the second one.

It was a rented room, and the floor was covered in blood, with hair scattered everywhere and a few broken fingers. The walls were covered in bloody scratches.

We don't know what kind of desperate struggle the victim went through before he died.

"This picture was retrieved from the archives of the case-handling bureau in the northern district of a major city. After the incident, the Ghost Infant was photographed in front of a convenience store nearby. At that time, the Ghost Infant was covered in blood. Analysis of the samples left at the scene showed that it was exactly the same as the victim," Wang Xiaoming continued.

Everyone frowned.

A man-eating Ghost Infant? That's certainly eerie.

"So, does that mean once we get rid of this brat, it's all over?" Ye Feng said with a relaxed smile.

No matter how fierce the Ghost Infant is, it can't harm him who is wearing a funeral shroud.

Therefore, he was not worried about being killed.

Wang Xiaoming said, "If that's the case, then this incident isn't so complicated. Just yesterday, I collected another set of information, which is currently being sent by major hospitals in Dachang City."

Press the switch once, and the image on the projector changes to something else.

"I've included a few screenshots that highlight the key points; you can take a look."

The picture shows several women with slightly protruding bellies, who appear to be pregnant. However, on each of these women's bellies, there is the outline of a struggling baby.

"Ghost Infant?" Many people's eyes widened immediately, their faces showing shock.

Wang Xiaoming said, "I tested it, and it is indeed Ghost Infant. It's not just Zhou Zheng's one. According to the information I have, there are a total of 120. No, wait, it's 138 now. This is the confirmed one, but there are many more that haven't been confirmed yet."

"Are you kidding me? Over a hundred Ghost Infant? Is this some kind of overpopulation issue? Are you trying to kill us?"

One of the Ghost Tamer said with a hint of fear, "We can't handle this. Relying on just nine of us is no different from sending ourselves to our deaths."

Anyone who has experienced the Ghost Tamer will feel their scalp tingle and their heart turn cold.

"Whether you live or die is your business, it has nothing to do with me. My only task is to resolve this matter, but I am still missing one piece of information. I need a Ghost Infant for my research. Your first task is to capture a Ghost Infant for me," Wang Xiaoming said.
