The Touched Taboo

This is a fake city within the Ghost Domain.

It's exactly the same as Dachang City, whether it's the streets, buildings, trees, or greenery.

No one who enters this place will think this world is fake.

The world within the Ghost Domain can deceive humans, and it also possesses the ability to deceive ghosts. Now, in this silent world, a strange, bluish-black infant, as if just born, is emitting eerie screams as it wanders along the streets, gradually approaching a certain place.

Those pupil-less, jet-black eyes surveyed the world with an eerie and fierce gaze.

Anyone who is seen by this thing will likely be unable to escape its clutches.

Unfortunately, apart from Yang Jian, there was no one else in the Ghost Domain that this Ghost Infant could kill, so it could not grow up in this world.

The Ghost Infant's movements were not slow; on the contrary, they were very fast.

It was only because its route was not very predictable that it wasted a lot of time.

But in the end, the ghostly figure arrived at a place and lingered there, seemingly wanting to go in, but lacking a way forward.

There seems to be a road there that doesn't appear on the map.

The Ghost Domain within Yang Jian did not change, so the Ghost Infant began to wander there.

"It's almost certain now. The Ghost Infant has probably stopped at this location and has been lingering there without leaving."

He immediately opened his phone, used map navigation, and quickly confirmed the exact location.

"There's a pharmacy next door on this street, and the Ghost Infant is right across from it. I can point it out precisely when we get to our destination."

Wang Xiaoming glanced at the coordinates displayed on Yang Jian's phone and immediately memorized them. "I understand. The first attempt was a success. Now you can detain the Ghost Infant. I will gather manpower as soon as possible for the first contact. If everything goes smoothly, this paranormal event will be successfully resolved."

"If only everything went this smoothly..." Suddenly, at that moment, Yang Jian's expression changed drastically.

"What happened?" Wang Xiaoming frowned.

Yang Jian tensed up, cold sweat suddenly beading on his forehead. "The path has appeared."

"Which street? Do you mean the Seventh Street I defined? What's going on?" Wang Xiaoming asked immediately.

Yang Jian, "Damn it, a street suddenly appeared right where that Ghost Infant was. How is this possible? I didn't control the Ghost Domain to cause this change at all. It feels like my Ghost Domain has been invaded, and the power of a vengeful Ghost Domain has forcibly modified it."

"That's impossible," Wang Xiaoming said firmly.

He had never heard of someone modifying another person's Ghost Domain before.

Li Jun has also experienced Ghost Domain and faced several supernatural events, but he has never encountered anything like this.

"It's really true. I have no reason to lie to you at this time. If you don't believe me, see for yourself." Yang Jian manifested the Ghost Domain.

The operating room was bathed in red light, and in this world of red light, a phantom city appeared before our eyes, the clearest part being the scene of a street.

However, on this street, across the road from a pharmacy, there used to be a thick wall, but now that wall has disappeared. In its place is a path that leads to a dark, bluish-black world, like an endless abyss.

Various shops could be vaguely seen on both sides of the street, but all of them were closed and none of them were open for business.

Wang Xiaoming's expression hardened, and he immediately pulled up a panoramic view of Dachang City. He quickly located the place and, after comparing it, immediately confirmed that the road did not exist.

"Immediately withdraw from the Ghost Domain. This street is shrouded in taboo. You found it, and it found you in the same way. This has already touched upon another level."

"It's no use. Even if I take back the Ghost Domain, the street will still exist." Yang Jian closed his Ghost Eye, and the red light in the operating room disappeared.

But what followed was a persistent gloom, the entire hospital filled with a bluish-black aura, and the surrounding lights quickly dimmed, turning gray. In the place where the gloom gathered the most, the scene of a street appeared.

It's like a movie projection, yet so clear.

"Professor Wang, retreat immediately! Something's very wrong!" The security personnel beside him hurriedly grabbed Wang Xiaoming and said.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Let's wait a bit longer. This is a very rare opportunity. It could very well be the ability of a fourth-stage Ghost Infant. We must see it with our own eyes."

The protection personnel were both frightened and anxious. If it weren't for the strict orders from above, they would have abandoned Wang Xiaoming and run away right now.

These ghostly things are more terrifying than the last; none of them are something a normal person could understand.

"That Ghost Infant can no longer be imprisoned." Yang Jian opened his Ghost Eye, piercing through the darkness, and saw the Ghost Infant wandering in front of the illusory street.

Out of caution and apprehension about this Seventh Street, he did not risk imprisoning the Ghost Infant that was so close at hand.

There's no need to take that risk.

With so many Ghost Infant in Dachang City, one more won't have a significant impact on the outside world.

I absolutely cannot die here.

"Retreat!"

Yang Jian remained vigilant while slowly retreating.

However, at that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed in that illusory street, and a figure appeared in the dark, bluish-black gloom deep within the street.

The face is not clearly visible; only an outline can be seen.

The figure drew closer, and the footsteps grew clearer, echoing loudly in the quiet, dimly lit operating room.

It was as if the ghosts from the depths of that street were about to emerge.

Once the ghost inside emerges, it's highly likely to be Ghost Infant that has surpassed the third stage and reached the fourth stage. The horror of that would be unimaginable.

Perhaps that was the source of the entire supernatural event—the Ghost Infant that revived after Zhou Zheng's death.

"This works?" Yang Jian was shocked.

What shocked him wasn't how terrifying the ghost was, but rather that what was happening before his eyes was that the door to the Seventh Street had been forcibly opened within his own Ghost Domain, and a real ghost had emerged from the illusion?

If this can be accomplished, then the level of horror in this incident, which has been defined as Starvation Ghost Incident, could reach an unprecedented level.

Because these kinds of ghosts have completely deviated from common sense and have evolved into a kind of idealistic existence.

As the footsteps approached, the surrounding darkness grew even deeper.

The outline of the human figure became clearer and clearer. Yang Jian could even see the slightly swaying hands, stiff, bluish-black, like the skin of a dead baby.

"Leaving here has made things a bit more complicated. That ghost's abilities are beyond my expectations," Wang Xiaoming said after observing for a moment, then immediately turned and left.

"Do you even need to tell me? If we don't leave in this situation, we're just waiting to die. I dare say Ye Feng is most likely to fall victim to this thing."

Yang Jian also turned and left. He rushed out of the operating room and got away from the illusory street as quickly as possible.

The two met outside the operating room and walked down the corridor out of the hospital.

"Sound the alarm and evacuate everyone in the hospital. Get as many people as you can out," Wang Xiaoming instructed his entourage.

Soon, an alarm sounded over the hospital's loudspeakers.

"Isn't it a bit late for you to sound the alarm now?" Yang Jian.

As Wang Xiaoming ran, he said, "Don't worry, most of the hospital's staff have already been evacuated. The only ones left are some staff members and some special patients. I've been doing research here and have considered this aspect. If we evacuate and impose a curfew immediately in case of an emergency, the losses will not exceed fifty people at most."

"I've set up three such research sites. As long as we can leave here, the research can continue without being affected. As for the casualties, I think they're nothing compared to the crisis in Dachang City."

Yang Jian's expression shifted, but he didn't say anything.

He has no right to criticize Wang Xiaoming's behavior, because he would have done the same in his place.

In the face of such a major event, everyone has to make some sacrifices, only the ways in which they sacrifice differ.

Just as Wang Xiaoming and Yang Jian were leaving, the figure in the street scene inside the operating room gradually emerged.

The operating room door, which had been locked, creaked open slowly.

The person hidden in the dim light pushed open the door and walked out of the operating room.

The entire hospital began to be rapidly engulfed by a dark blue-green aura.

State explosion.
