The Terror of a Completed Gestation

Yang Jian knew, of course, that Professor Bai was talking nonsense. Once a literary master like that starts to bluff, he can completely fool you, and every word he says is based on evidence, leaving you with no reason to refute him. It's simple: he has more books than you, and you can't win an argument with him.

Aside from a few hot-tempered guys who like to jump up and fart.

But Yang Jian understood even more clearly that the real purpose of this explanation was to cover up part of the truth, so that people could accept the appearance of the vengeful ghost without being completely desperate.

This is beneficial for ordinary people.

It is also beneficial to the stability of the global order.

Therefore, Yang Jian was very interested in what kind of story Professor Bai had prepared to convince everyone when the Headquarters invited him to give a lecture.

"Perhaps my views will not be accepted by most people, which is normal. Just talking and quoting stories from ancient and modern times is not enough to convince people. Now please look at this photo."

Professor Bai continued his lecture. After a while, he turned on the slideshow next to the podium and played several prepared images.

The image shows the coffin of an ancient pharaoh from abroad.

"Does seeing these pharaohs' golden coffins remind you of anything?"

Professor Bai said, "A coffin needs to be made of gold, and a special pyramid needs to be built to store it. Perhaps ancient monarchs had the habit of building luxurious tombs on a large scale. But from a certain perspective, perhaps their construction of tombs and the use of gold to make coffins was not just due to the tomb construction customs of that era, but for a more important purpose."

"Is it for imprisoning vengeful ghosts?" Among the group of students listening to the lecture, a college student Wang Jiang asked in a somewhat serious tone.

Professor Bai smiled and said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."

While Yang Jian continued listening to the lecture...

On the other side.

About ten kilometers away from the training base is a special experimental base.

This experimental base was built specifically for Wang Xiaoming.

Although the previous conversation did not allow Wang Xiaoming to achieve his goal, it did help him determine his next research direction.

Although the attempt to use ghost coffins to create vengeful spirits has been abandoned, the new direction is still highly feasible, and the experiment has been successful.

But that's not enough.

Although Wang Xiaoming successfully created a coffin nail, it was only due to numerous attempts in the experiment, and it was not perfect and still had flaws.

This is not allowed.

He wants to do better, so he needs to start from the source.

Human skin paper is Wang Xiaoming's target.

A supernatural being who seems to know a great deal of information.

It didn't matter whether it was a ghost or something else; he only needed the information within it, which was of great value to him.

After entering the experimental base, Wang Xiaoming went to and from his work area as usual.

"The experiment with the ghost coffin has failed. It should be sealed away; its potential dangers are too great, and it shouldn't be studied anymore." Wang Xiaoming stood in front of a special golden-yellow glass panel.

There was a coffin in a small room in front of him.

The red paint on the slightly worn coffin looked eerily vibrant in the dim light. Although there was no corpse under the heavy coffin lid, it gave off an incredibly sinister and unsettling feeling, as if something was being conceived inside.

This is an unknown terror.

Wang Xiaoming has been studying this thing for some time, but to be honest, he hasn't uncovered all the secrets of the ghost coffin.

It's not that he lacks the mind, but rather that he doesn't dare to attempt certain dangerous things.

"I'll immediately notify the relevant personnel to remove this ghost coffin," Li Jun said from the side.

He didn't care much about the ghost coffin, because once the lid was closed, virtually no supernatural occurrences would happen.

"Wait a minute." Wang Xiaoming frowned suddenly after staring at the ghost coffin for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is there any other problem?" Li Jun asked.

Wang Xiaoming said solemnly, "The coffin lid is in the wrong position; the ghost coffin has been opened."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jun's expression changed drastically. "That's impossible! Everyone knows how dangerous this thing is, who would touch it?"

"Perhaps it wasn't opened from the outside, perhaps it was opened from the inside."

Wang Xiaoming frowned. "I had guessed this before. Since the ghost coffin is a coffin for nurturing ghosts, what happens once the ghost has been nurtured? Will that thing still stay in the coffin?"

"Wasn't the ghost that occupied the coffin already turned into coffin nails?" Li Jun suddenly looked horrified as he said this; "Wait, what about that failed experiment to turn a vengeful ghost?"

In an instant, he turned around and growled, "Sound the alarm! Everyone evacuate the lab!"

"Where is it? Since the ghost coffin shows signs of being opened, where is it?" Li Jun then hurriedly asked, "I didn't see anything strange where the ghost coffin was placed."

Wang Xiaoming's eyes flickered slightly as he looked through the glass at the scene inside the laboratory behind him.

Li Jun noticed his subtle movement and immediately realized what was happening. A cold sweat broke out on his back. The laboratory behind him was eerily quiet. He had clearly told them to sound the alarm and evacuate, but there hadn't been a sound since.

That leaves only one possibility.

The ghost is inside the laboratory.

"Damn it." Li Jun turned around abruptly and shielded Wang Xiaoming in front of him.

At this moment, several staff members in the laboratory stood motionless, all turning their heads slightly to look in the direction of Li Jun and Wang Xiaoming, their eyes numb and empty, without a trace of life, as if they had already died.

Despite the bright lights, the atmosphere was eerily suffocating.

Li Jun realized the seriousness of the situation. He hurriedly took out a red ghost candle from his body, lit it quickly, and then pulled Wang Xiaoming to leave.

However, once the ghost candle was lit...

The slightly eerie green candlelight immediately blazed up fiercely.

Furthermore, the ghost candle in Li Jun's hand was being consumed at an incredible speed.

In just five seconds, half of the ghost candle had burned out.

"We can't get out. Li Jun, let's seal off the lab. With the lab's security level, this ghost can only infiltrate my work area at most; it won't affect the outside. Besides, this is the consequence I caused, so I should take responsibility." Wang Xiaoming's expression was calm, as if he had already made up his mind.

"No, we can use the Ghost Domain to get out."

Li Jun's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the ghost candle in his hand was now reduced to less than half its original length.

Wang Xiaoming said, "If you can leave using the Ghost Domain, that thing can leave too. I know how terrifying that thing is."
