Catching Ghost Infant?

Everyone frowned upon hearing about this task.

Although it feels easy, it somehow makes me uneasy.

"Professor Wang, can you be sure that more than a hundred people have Ghost Infant inside them? Why go through all this trouble? You could just recruit a volunteer." Sun Yi said.

Wang Xiaoming said, "I studied the Ghost Infant when it was inside Zhou Zheng's body. Actually, the Ghost Infant doesn't have a physical form when it's inside a human body. You can feel the Ghost Infant in your stomach and see its outline on your belly, but when you actually cut open your stomach to take it out, you'll find that there's nothing inside."

"Otherwise, if we were to perform surgery, a simple cesarean section to remove the Ghost Infant wouldn't have so many problems."

"Of course, I get rewards for my tasks. After this matter is resolved, feel free to make any requests you may have, as long as it's within my capabilities."

Hearing this, the crowd began to show some interest.

Everyone knows that Wang Xiaoming is a highly authoritative professor internationally, and no one can study ghosts more thoroughly than him. The conditions he offered were indeed very tempting.

"Capturing a Ghost Infant for Professor Wang's research is no problem, but after it's done, I need a method to control the second ghost," He Chuan said with a stern face.

"Can."

"I need a ghost candle, Professor Wang, would you be willing to grant me that?" Ye Feng asked.

Wang Xiaoming said, "No, that's not possible. That's a strategic resource. A mere Ghost Infant isn't worth that much. I can only give you a ghost candle if you can resolve this supernatural event."

Ye Feng said, "I was just saying, since I didn't expect anything anyway. I'd like a meal of gold, which should be worth a billion in market value."

"Okay," Wang Xiaoming said.

Zhang Han suddenly asked, "Professor Wang, if I succeed, can I join Headquarters?"

"Okay," Professor Wang said. "However, my conditions only apply to the first person to capture the Ghost Infant. If there are no problems, you can begin at any time."

Others were eager to join in, after all, this deal was indeed very profitable.

"Stop arguing, it's embarrassing. Ghost Infant, huh? I have one here, I just caught it yesterday."

Suddenly, Yang Jian took out a golden box from his backpack and threw it out. "Also, Professor Wang, your conclusion is a bit incorrect. The Ghost Infant isn't without a physical form, nor is it impossible to remove; it just requires a certain method, and I happen to have figured out one."

Um?

Everyone else turned to look at Yang Jian.

Does he have Ghost Infant?

Wang Xiaoming immediately picked up the gold box in front of him. Although it was covered with several layers of gold leaf, it was not welded shut and was easy to open.

"Don't worry, there's no danger anymore. I've nailed it down," Yang Jian.

Really.

Upon opening it, a golden box contained an infant the size of an adult's fist. The infant was bluish-black in color, cold, and limp, as if it had been dead for several days.

But a withered finger was stuck in the baby's stomach.

Upon seeing the finger, Wang Xiaoming said, "This finger is a product from my lab. How did it end up with you?"

"Seized," Yang Jian.

Wang Xiaoming's expression changed, naturally related to Wang Xiaoqiang's death. He closed the box and said, "You are indeed very capable, which is why I can tolerate you killing my brother but still call you to a meeting. However, the Ghost Infant in your possession can only be used as backup material for research. In the current situation, you are not quite qualified as material."

Yang Jian, "Professor Wang, you're not doing this to settle a personal score, are you?"

"Won't."

Wang Xiaoming said, "The Ghost Infant you caught is still too young and needs to grow. But I don't think we have time to wait for it to grow. If possible, I hope to obtain a Ghost Infant that is beyond the third stage as research material, so that we can find out all the information about this ghost in the shortest amount of time."

"Beyond the third stage?" Yang Jian said, "That means it surpasses the form of that young Ghost Infant?"

"That's right, I'll tentatively call that unknown form the fourth form," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Starting research directly from the fourth form would be much more efficient. Of course, that's the ideal situation. If that's not possible, the third form of the young Ghost Infant is also acceptable."

"Does Professor Wang mean that there's more than one Ghost Infant that has grown up?" Ye Feng asked.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Yes, I need to find a way to pinpoint the source by observing the growth of other Ghost Infant, so as to completely resolve this paranormal event."

"The source is obvious, it's the Ghost Infant inside Zhou Zheng's body. Getting rid of that one will definitely end this supernatural event," Zhang Han said immediately.

Wang Xiaoming said, "The deduction makes some sense, but Zhou Zheng's Ghost Infant has been out for a long time. How can you determine its current form? Even if you get rid of that Ghost Infant, how can you guarantee that the other Ghost Infant will disappear? If they can't disappear, how will you deal with the current increase in the number of Ghost Infant?"

"Well..." Zhang Han looked embarrassed. "So, Professor, what do you mean?"

"Only by thoroughly investigating everything about the Ghost Infant can we find a way to completely resolve this incident. We must remain calm in the face of major events. Of course, if you can deal with Zhou Zheng's Ghost Infant, I can grant each of you three requests. Although I didn't want to waste too much time on searching for Zhou Zheng's Ghost Infant at first, I wouldn't mind skipping the preliminary work and seeing how things turn out if given the chance," Wang Xiaoming said.

Yang Jian, "Actually, Professor Wang is very clear that Zhou Zheng's Ghost Infant is the biggest threat right now. Everything that has happened is related to it. Although getting rid of it may not solve all the current problems, it can at least stabilize the situation. However, that thing has been growing for the longest time, so it is naturally the most terrifying. If we forcibly deal with it, the losses will probably be huge."

"Therefore, I don't recommend that you go directly to that thing. Start with the growing Ghost Infant first."

Wang Xiaoming said, "We need to weigh the benefits against the losses. The most cost-effective option is to capture the Ghost Infant in the third state, which is the youth form. The fourth state has many uncertainties."

"For safety reasons, I suggest you form teams. Nine people make three teams, each responsible for a different area. If there are no problems, let's begin now."

"The longer this drags on, the more Ghost Infant will be born, and the more terrifying the number of vengeful spirits we will face in the future. This is a race between efficiency and survival rate."

"Furthermore, I've named this incident 'The Starvation Ghost Incident' in the case file."

"Why is it the Starvation Ghost Incident? Why not the Ghost Infant incident or the over-birth incident?" someone asked.

Wang Xiaoming said, "There's a folk saying about starving ghosts being reincarnated. These Ghost Infant mysteriously appear, parasitize human bodies, and grow by eating the host's internal organs. After they burst out of the belly, they grow by eating living people, which is very similar to the story of starving ghosts being reincarnated. That's why I named it this way. If you have any questions about the naming of the files for this incident, you can raise them."

"Of course, only Zhao Kaiming and Yang Jian have the right to rename it."

Yang Jian, "It doesn't matter, it's just a file name, you can call it whatever you want."

"I have no objection," Zhao Kaiming said.

"By the way, if Professor Wang doesn't need that thing, please return it to me." Yang Jian pointed to the gold box.

Wang Xiaoming said, "No, this is backup research material, and it still has great research value, so I can't return it to you."

"So how should this fee be calculated? A piece of gold, a finger, a Ghost Infant, and my fee for my trouble." Yang Jian, "Especially that finger, it's quite useful to me, so I can't give it to you."

That finger could freeze his own Ghost Domain; he would never let anyone else have it.

"I can return these things to you after this is over, but I still need them now. Name your price," Wang Xiaoming said.

Yang Jian asked directly, "What is the status of the gold reserves of all the major banks in Dachang City?"

Upon hearing this condition, Zhao Kaiming's expression changed.

"Does this kid want to monopolize all logistical resources?"

For ordinary people, gold is money, but for those Ghost Tamer, gold is equipment.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Okay, but I used a lot before, so I can only give you the rest. There are about two tons left."

"That's enough," Yang Jian said calmly.

What he wanted wasn't quantity, but rather the remaining supplies in Dachang City.

He must prepare for a protracted battle, and also have some backup plans to save his life.

Gold is essential.
