Chapter 238
"Finally, something's happened. This city is getting weirder and weirder. If nothing happens soon, we might be the ones who get into trouble."
"Let's resolve this together quickly. I don't want this paranormal event to fester into an irreversible disaster."
"Yang Jian also needs to call for help? It looks like the situation is very bad."
Now.
At the hospital entrance, several cars ran red lights and arrived in the shortest possible time.
Without a doubt, they are the only remaining Ghost Tamer in Dachang City.
"Excuse me, excuse me, my car ran out of gas on the way, so I had to ride a bicycle to get here. I hope I didn't cause any delays?" At that moment, a man on a bicycle came rushing over like a gust of wind.
"Sun Yi, you can't do this. No wonder Yang Jian doesn't want to talk to you. If it were me, I'd want to scold you too. It's one thing to be poor, but you don't even know how to make money. Isn't it a bit shameful for Ghost Tamer to be so shabby? And what kind of time is this to still be thinking about..."
"Do you reimburse my mortgage and gas expenses?" Zhang Han couldn't help but ask.
Sun Yi said, "Don't say that. Sometimes I even look down on myself."
"You've all arrived? Very good, then let's begin the operation." At this moment, Wang Xiaoming walked over calmly from outside the hospital's security cordon.
"Professor Wang, are you alright?"
Wang Xiaoming said, "The retreat was timely enough, so there's nothing to worry about for now. What's certain is that the hospital has been invaded by a ghost. I can't say for sure what kind of ghost it is, so you all need to work together to solve this paranormal event. If we succeed, there's a good chance..."
This could change the current situation.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly looked up at the hospital in front of them.
It was dim and gloomy, shrouded in a dark blue aura. Silence reigned; there was no light, no cries for help, and the quiet was eerily eerie.
The thought that something was definitely fishy made my heart sink.
"Isn't it a bit too risky to just go in like this? Yang Jian, what information do you know?" Zhao Kaiming looked coldly at Yang Jian, who was sitting not far away by the green belt.
Yang Jian, "I left with Wang Xiaoming before the paranormal events here started, so I didn't encounter them directly and can't provide any useful information."
He was telling the truth and didn't hide anything.
He had not had any direct contact with the ghost before, just to be on the safe side.
But one thing is certain: it's highly unusual for a ghost to open up a non-existent street in its own Ghost Domain and then emerge from it.
It is very likely that it is an existence that has surpassed the third stage of the Ghost Infant.
This might even be the source of all paranormal events.
"If we proceed without supporting information, there will definitely be considerable casualties," Zhao Kaiming said. "Professor Wang, what are your opinions?"
Wang Xiaoming said, "I'm sorry, I can't provide you with any informational support."
"Damn, isn't this going to be a life-or-death situation?" someone immediately complained.
Yang Jian glanced at the unfamiliar Ghost Tamer; "Facing supernatural events is inherently a life-or-death situation. If you don't want to, you can leave. No one is forcing you. But you must understand that once all of us are dead, you alone will also..."
He won't live much longer.
The Ghost Tamer was immediately speechless.
Indeed, retreating in such a situation might allow one to survive temporarily, but it will certainly lead to death afterward.
Even if others successfully resolve paranormal events, they will likely face retribution in the future.
"When will we move out? We came in a hurry, and there are some things we haven't had time to prepare," Zhang Han said.
Wang Xiaoming said, "What do you need to prepare? Weapons? Ammunition? Are these useful for paranormal events? If you need a container to imprison a vengeful ghost, I have already prepared that."
He pointed to a stretcher placed next to him.
On top was a box that could barely fit one person lying down; the box was made of pure gold and was very sturdy.
"In that case, I have no objections," Zhang Han said.
"If no one has any objections, let's act now. Yang Jian, what about you?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Jian again.
"I'm going back to the car to get something," Yang Jian, standing up and turning around.
He had gathered everything he needed in the car: human skin paper, ghost candles, and even the uncontrollable ghost rope. He only thought that the ghost rope's ability to revive and launch indiscriminate attacks would play a crucial role in the most critical moment.
In fact, Wang Xiaoming had already explained the importance of this operation to these people before they arrived.
Imprisoning the ghost is only one aspect; more importantly, we need to see if we can successfully enter the so-called Seventh Street through that suddenly appearing street entrance and find the source of this paranormal event.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming will also participate personally this time.
"Let's move out." Wang Xiaoming's face was calm, without any fear. He crossed the cordon and walked back towards the hospital.
"Professor Wang, you're coming too?" Zhang Han was taken aback.
Wang Xiaoming said, "Of course, necessary actions are unavoidable at critical moments. If you're only worried about my safety, there's no need to worry. This situation is rapidly deteriorating; there's no time to proceed step by step."
Zhao Kaiming glanced at them, said nothing, and simply followed the group towards the hospital, leaning on his cane and limping.
Soon.
Seven people, including Wang Xiaoming, made up eight people in total, and they entered the dimly lit hospital building through the main entrance.
They had only walked a dozen meters forward when darkness enveloped them, and they could no longer see the path behind them.
Someone had prepared a powerful flashlight, but the light couldn't penetrate the thick, persistent gloom. It could only extend five or six meters beyond which only a blurry outline could be seen.
The empty hospital lobby was deserted, and only the sound of their own footsteps echoed clearly around them.
Ah~!
Faint screams of pain could be heard coming from deep within the hospital.
"What was that sound?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Xiaoming said, "Don't be nervous. They are patients who were not evacuated from the hospital in time. They all have Ghost Infant in their wombs. At this time, it should just be that the Ghost Infant are acting up. However, according to my calculation, those Ghost Infant have not yet reached the time of birth. We will be safe then."
"."
How many of these patients are there?
"There are probably around twenty or thirty."
"Damn it," everyone cursed inwardly.
These are all potential ghosts, and the timing of their birth isn't something a professor can decide. Who knows if the ghost here will cause this Ghost Infant to be born prematurely?
If this can be achieved, the hospital's risk level will rise again.
"Such a big hospital, it must be very difficult to find just one ghost," Zhao Kaiming suddenly said.
Wang Xiaoming said, "So before we look for that ghost, you should come with me to my office to get some things. If we pass by any sick people along the way, we should help them out. We can't just leave them there; if they die here, it will only make the situation worse."
Hearing this, everyone felt like they'd been tricked.
I thought it was just about dealing with one ghost, but I never expected there to be so many other troublesome things involved.
Yang Jian remained silent. He knew that Wang Xiaoming must have his own reasons for re-entering this place; if he could, why would he risk his life?
He wasn't worried about anything else; what he was worried about was the ghost that had forcibly walked out of his own Ghost Domain.
That's the greatest danger.
"With the Ghost Candle, even in the most unusual circumstances, I can barely manage to protect myself," Yang Jian thought to himself.
Compared to the human skin paper he wasn't entirely comfortable with, the ghost candle was his greatest asset.
Soon.
Led by Wang Xiaoming, the group gradually ventured deeper into the hospital.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the hospital seems much larger than usual. We haven't even finished walking through one of the main halls yet, and there's still a road ahead.
"The road has been changed; this is no longer the road to the hospital." Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming stopped and frowned.
"Are you kidding me? You start with this?" someone asked, looking horrified.
Wang Xiaoming said, "I'm not joking. I've calculated it. I've taken a total of 176 steps since then. In terms of distance, I should have already left the lobby and even reached the front of the first patient's ward, but we're still in the lobby."
"The appearance of the ghost affected the space here, I'll just assume that."
