Changes at Each Stage

Nonsense.

Of course I want to know.

Why would I ask you if I don't want to know?

Yang Jian looked at Wang Xiaoming strangely, as if waiting for his answer.

"Is it okay if the Ghost Domain remains like this?" Wang Xiaoming didn't answer immediately, but first assessed the current situation.

"No problem, but I won't stay for too long," Yang Jian.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Of course. Using the Ghost Domain consumes a lot of energy. I know that ghosts who can use the Ghost Domain are not easy to suppress. So you are special in my eyes. If you hadn't killed my younger brother, I think I would have fallen in love with you."

"I'm not gay, thank you," Yang Jian.

"You understand what I mean," Wang Xiaoming said. "Let's continue our previous topic. What do you think a normal baby should do after birth?"

"I'm not an obstetrician, how would I know?" Yang Jian.

"The first thing a baby does after birth is to open its eyes and see the world clearly. The same is true for Ghost Infant. So, in the first stage, a ghost Ghost Infant will kill anyone it sees. After the baby has seen the world clearly, it will then make physical contact and further perceive the world through the touch of its skin. This leads to the second stage of the Ghost Infant: killing anyone it comes into contact with."

"Perception is not isolated, but rather cumulative."

Wang Xiaoming asked, "When a newborn baby sees or touches something, what will come next?"

"Did you hear that?" Yang Jian frowned.

"That's right, hearing is key, so I guess the third-stage Ghost Infant should be the one who killed it and heard the sound," Wang Xiaoming said; "But this is just a guess, there is no basis or evidence to directly prove that this is the third-stage Ghost Infant change."

"And if your deduction is true, then what is the unknown fourth stage of the Ghost Infant like?" Yang Jian.

Wang Xiaoming said, "I don't know, because the third stage is just speculation. To speculate on speculation based on speculation is very unsound. I won't do such a thing, because wrong information can easily mislead people, thus leading the Ghost Tamer into a wrong dead end when facing the vengeful ghost."

"If you make the wrong choice, it's death. This isn't a game; there's no chance to start over. So I'm only speculating on the third phase."

"I will not make any further speculations or research unless it can be confirmed."

"Don't see, don't touch, don't listen." Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.

Based on the previous experience of dealing with the Ghost Infant, I gradually became more convinced of Wang Xiaoming's conclusion.

When Zhou Zheng died at school, the Ghost Infant saw him as soon as it was born, so its first instinct was to hunt him down. Later, because of the existence of the Ghost Eye, it chose to attack Wang Shanshan.

This is what is meant by seeing.

Later, the Ghost Infant grew into a ghost child and began to hunt down Wang Shanshan, who had left her handprint.

Why wasn't there a chase at the beginning?

It was simply because Wang Shanshan had not yet met the second condition at that time, and the Ghost Infant had not yet grown into the second stage.

Once the Ghost Infant reached the second stage, Wang Shanshan began to be attacked.

As for the third stage, it's about hearing.

This cannot be confirmed, as it has not been personally verified.

However, considering the two scenarios mentioned above, Yang Jian was 70% certain that Wang Xiaoming's deduction was correct, and the condition for the third stage was not to listen.

But if that's the case, dealing with the third stage of the Ghost Infant would be too difficult.

You must not see the Ghost Infant, touch the Ghost Infant, or let the Ghost Infant hear you.

If that's the case, then this paranormal event has evolved from an easy mode to a difficult mode, then to a hellish mode, and if there's a fourth stage, then that would be a nightmare mode.

Without cheating, it's basically impossible to play.

They're all doomed.

"So you are very important. Ye Feng can die, but you can't. If you die, Dachang City will truly be finished."

Wang Xiaoming said, "So I can share the research results from the past few days with you, but I won't reveal them to anyone else. In my eyes, they're just cannon fodder; you're the key."

"Because my Ghost Domain can simultaneously meet all the conditions for not being killed?" Yang Jian immediately understood what he meant.

Hiding inside the Ghost Domain, he could avoid being seen, touched, or made any noise by the Ghost Infant outside.

That's equivalent to perfect restraint.

"Yes, you have the Ghost Domain, which is the only chance I can think of to turn the tide," Wang Xiaoming said. "What makes me even happier is that you managed to control the second ghost in your own way. I don't know the abilities of this ghost, but it can touch the Ghost Infant regardless of the conditions."

This is another very important point.

"So, you have the conditions to imprison the Ghost Infant, and what you lack now is an opportunity. Therefore, I will create this opportunity, and if necessary, sacrificing a few Ghost Tamer is not a problem."

"So you're saying I'm lucky enough to be the savior of this city?" Yang Jian.

Wang Xiaoming said, "No, this is not lucky. On the contrary, you are very unlucky, just in a different way. Strictly speaking, I am the lucky one, after all, I am the one being protected."

"That's true."

Yang Jian squinted and scrutinized Wang Xiaoming once more.

No wonder this guy is called a national treasure-level researcher; even if the higher-ups were to abandon Dachang City, they wouldn't abandon Wang Xiaoming.

He is indeed very intelligent.

Moreover, this intelligence isn't used to memorize pi, recite English words, or make money in business; it's used to deduce supernatural events.

Without direct contact with the Ghost Infant, the patterns of the Ghost Infant can be summarized through some scattered information and some research.

It's still about complex paranormal events with at least four variations.

If he had Wang Xiaoming's mind, the paranormal events he encountered back then would have been easily resolved.

"You've thought everything through so clearly and thoroughly. It's a shame you're not Ghost Tamer that kind of ability," Yang Jian.

"It would be a shame if I became Ghost Tamer," Wang Xiaoming said calmly.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Indeed, Ghost Tamer are all short-lived. As an ordinary person, you can live for at least another fifty years, but as Ghost Tamer, I'm afraid you can only live for a few years at most."

"Where is that Ghost Infant in Dachang City now?" Wang Xiaoming asked. "Given the Ghost Infant's speed, it should be reaching its destination by now."

Yang Jian glanced at the Ghost Domain.

At this moment, a map of Dachang City appeared within the Ghost Domain. He made the Ghost Infant fall into an illusion, and in this way, he found the location of the Seventh Street that did not exist in Dachang City.

"It's wandering around on the street now, but it's generally heading towards the northern part of the city, which is where Ye Feng and He Chuan disappeared," Yang Jian.

"Then we'll have to wait a bit longer," Wang Xiaoming said.
