Chapter 36

From the moment Wang Bin put down the phone until now, he felt as if each day lasted a year.

He heard the sound of his front door opening and vaguely sensed something entering the living room from outside, as the occasional sound of ornaments being moved came from there.

It was as if a mischievous child outside was playing curiously.

But every sound that came made Wang Bin's heart leap.

Thinking of the child from before in the living room, just one wall away, he felt an inexplicable fear.

He dared not open the door, nor even approach it.

He was afraid that the child would appear outside the door at any moment.

However, passive waiting could not last forever; some things had to be faced.

As the commotion in the living room stopped, it seemed the child had grown tired of the toys and ornaments there. Then, the sound of light footsteps gradually approached, and finally, the child appeared outside the door, listening.

"It's here, it's coming in. Dad, Mom, you must go, it's here for me, I can feel it, you must go..." Wang Shanshan's emotions became agitated. She seemed to sense the presence of the ghost child.

"Daughter, what are you saying? How could Mom leave you alone?" Wang Haiyan wiped away her tears. "Husband, what is out there? We can fight it to the end."

Reminded by this, Wang Bin regained his composure. He suppressed his fear, looked around, and finally picked up a coat rack, preparing to fight. He was ready to smash the thing to pieces as soon as the child entered.

"No, no, Dad, don't. The detective said ghosts can't be killed. Find Yang Jian; only he can help us. Only he can save us." Wang Shanshan said in terror, trying to stop Wang Bin's actions.

But Wang Haiyan held her tightly.

"I've already called Yang Jian and offered him 500,000 to help. He should be on his way... Don't worry, everything will be fine." Wang Bin said nervously.

At that moment,

The lock clicked, and the security mechanism unlocked itself.

The doorknob slowly turned, and with a crisp creak, the door opened a crack.

The crack grew wider and wider.

In the next moment,

A child's head appeared, with pitch-black, pupil-less eyes that looked around the room with a sinister gaze, finally settling on Wang Shanshan.

"Ah~!"

The room echoed with the screams of Wang Haiyan and Wang Shanshan.

"Damn it, die!" Out of duty as a husband and father, Wang Bin mustered all his courage, roared, and swung the coat rack at the ghost child.

But the ghost child paid no attention to Wang Bin and ran along the wall at a terrifying speed, then pounced directly at Wang Shanshan.

The ghost child's mouth opened, stretching to an unnatural degree.

The mouth had no tongue, no oral cavity, only a bottomless black hole, as if anything swallowed would never reappear in this world.

It seemed to want to swallow Wang Shanshan whole.

Wang Bin's teeth clenched in fear and anger.

Wang Shanshan and her mother, Wang Haiyan, huddled together, screaming wildly.

At that moment,

The bedroom light flickered and turned red, the bulb resembling a red eye, creating a sinister atmosphere.

"Bang~!"

A loud noise, and the ghost child was thrown out, crashing heavily into the wardrobe.

Yang Jian, holding a phone, walked out from a corner of the bedroom. His body glowed red, and red eyes opened on his face and hands, each eye slightly moving and staring at the thrown-out ghost child.

"You didn't answer my calls, I thought you were already dead. I was about to call the police to collect your bodies. The crematorium must be doing good business lately; I wonder if you need to queue."

Yang Jian glanced at the ghost child, feeling a chill.

The ghost child, which was crawling on the ground at school, had grown and could now walk.

This ghost thing was growing...

The writing on the human skin was right; the thing inside the ghost child's belly was unusual. Who knows what level of ghost it would become when fully grown.

Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng, you really let out something formidable.

"Yang, Yang Jian?"

Hearing Yang Jian's voice, Wang Shanshan immediately looked up, her fear turning to surprise.

At that moment, Yang Jian seemed like her savior.

"You, you are Yang Jian? How did you get in?" Wang Bin asked in fear.

"Can't even get in the door, how could I dare to earn 500,000 from you? Don't you understand the principle of getting what you pay for, Uncle Wang? This thing has exceeded my initial estimate. I'm not sure I can handle it, so... more money is needed."

He wasn't joking.

When he had four eyes, he could repel the ghost child.

But now, this thing was no longer a ghost child but a ghost child.

Its terror had definitely increased.

"Better not exceed the limit of six eyes, or we'll have to run." He glanced at the others, preparing to retreat.

No relation, just classmates; Yang Jian couldn't risk his life for them.

Wang Bin was a smart man. Seeing Yang Jian's hesitant look, he quickly said, "One million, I'll give you one million... and more after this is over."

Yang Jian retracted his gaze and sighed, "Another hateful rich person, I should have asked for more earlier."

One million was worth the risk.

What can you do when the price is set like this in the country.

Immediately, he focused on the ghost child again.

The ghost domain was already open; he couldn't waste this opportunity.

The ghost child slowly stood up, tilting its head and looking at Yang Jian with pitch-black eyes, its greenish-black skin exuding a sense of death.

The kick earlier had not harmed it at all.

It was only repelled because Yang Jian was in the ghost domain state.

Ghosts can't be killed.

Only ghosts can deal with ghosts.

These two statements are not contradictory.

Dealing with it doesn't mean killing it.

"So, Zhou Zheng's words mean that only a ghost can repel another ghost?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered. He had gradually overcome his fear through his experiences with the supernatural.

Perhaps it was also related to his transformation into a half-human, half-ghost.

"I don't know if you have reason or understand human speech, but I want to say that I will protect this family today. Can you give me some face and stop?" Yang Jian said.

But before he finished, a greenish-black aura suddenly emerged around the ghost child.

The aura gradually spread, affecting the surroundings.

"This... is the ghost domain?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed, his heart trembling.

Damn, it's learning and growing.

This ghost child is not simple.

"This ghost child is sinister; it's best to send it away first." Yang Jian's expression changed.

Suddenly, the ghost child's feet stepped into empty space, and it fell through the floor directly to the lower floor.

Yang Jian took a step forward, his body glowing red and disappearing from Wang Bin's sight.

The ghost domain followed the ghost child down.

Sixteenth floor... thirteenth floor... ninth floor.

Just as it reached the last floor, Yang Jian retracted the ghost domain.

"Bang~!"

A loud noise, and the ghost child fell from the sixteenth floor to the ground, its body flattened, lying in a strange position.

Yang Jian looked down from the building at the motionless ghost child on the ground.

He knew it wasn't dead.

He checked the time.

The limit of the ghost domain was approaching.

"First, get the Wang Shanshan family out of here, then think about how to deal with it." Yang Jian knew he lacked experience in dealing with powerful ghosts and could only act cautiously.

He immediately disappeared from the spot.

A short while after he left,

The ghost child, which had fallen to the ground like a pile of flesh, slowly moved its strange body and finally stood up.
