"Boss, has anything strange happened in your neighborhood recently?"

Yang Jian got off the car and bought a bottle of water, taking the opportunity to ask.

The boss of the convenience store said, "Of course there is. The strangest thing is that it got dark today. I feel like the end of the world is really coming. The news reports say that it is a high concentration of haze caused by pollution leakage from a certain factory. It doesn't have much impact on people's health. Experts analyze that this haze contains various trace elements needed by the human body. Breathing it regularly is beneficial. Men can strengthen their kidneys and health, while women can improve their appearance."

"..." Yang Jian said, "What end of the world? It's just scaremongering. Do you really believe the nonsense from the experts?"

"I believe it. Why not? I plan to invest with a friend to build a factory that specializes in producing this canned air. Selling it for a thousand yuan per bottle will definitely be profitable. I feel like I'm going to make a fortune."

Yang Jian said, "Then I won't disturb you doing business, how much is the water?"

"Ten thousand yuan," the convenience store boss said.

"What? Ten thousand? Why don't you just rob people?" Yang Jian exclaimed.

"It's illegal to rob. This is a legitimate business. You've already drunk the water just now. If you don't pay, don't even think about leaving here. Without making some money, why would I bother to open the store in this situation? The daily necessities in the supermarket have all been looted. You're lucky to be able to buy water for ten thousand yuan per bottle today. I'll raise the price again in a few days."

"What kind of logic is this? Even if you raise the price, there's no need to be so ruthless. Can't you make it cheaper?" Yang Jian said.

"I'll take a loss. I'll give you a 10% discount, nine thousand yuan," the convenience store boss said.

"Isn't this still robbery? Didn't you just say you were going to sell canned air?"

The convenience store boss said, "Yes, it's because I lack capital that I raised the price. It seems like you don't intend to pay. In that case, don't blame me for being impolite."

After speaking, he pulled out a watermelon knife from under the counter.

"Boss, this is very dangerous. You might end up in jail," Yang Jian said.

The convenience store boss said, "Jail? Can the authorities still manage in this situation? Hand over the money, or I'll chop you up if you don't."

"You're really making it difficult for yourself with this business. I bought this bottle of water for a hundred yuan. Give me some face and stop causing trouble. I don't have time to deal with your nonsense right now. Let's just pretend I didn't see anything."

Yang Jian put down a hundred yuan, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

It seems that chaos in the city is inevitable.

He must quickly resolve this incident, otherwise things might escalate beyond control.

"Who the hell asked you for a hundred yuan? You dare to leave," the convenience store boss angrily rushed over with the watermelon knife.

"Damn, you said you weren't robbing. Boss, you've gone too far," Yang Jian said.

But just as the convenience store boss rushed out, he stumbled on the steps at the store entrance and almost fell. However, the watermelon knife in his hand didn't hold steady and flew out directly, landing at Yang Jian's feet with a loud thud.

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, instinctively picked up the knife, and then looked at the convenience store boss.

The boss wanted to go and pick it up, but was a step too slow. He looked up and happened to see Yang Jian's eerie gaze.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

After a moment.

Yang Jian returned to the car.

"Why did it take so long to buy a bottle of water?" Sun Yi asked.

"Don't mention it. I encountered someone trying to cheat money. They were selling a bottle of water for ten thousand yuan. They're really heartless," Yang Jian said.

Sun Yi said, "That person must be really unlucky."

"That's for sure," Yang Jian said.

Of course, it's unlucky. Why cheat anyone else when you can cheat Yang Jian? Isn't this asking for trouble?

"Do we need to continue patrolling? I don't think anything has happened in this city district. Maybe something happened in another district. It's a bit of a waste of time to wander around like this," Zhang Han said.

Yang Jian took a sip of water and said, "Wang Xiaoming knows that I have conflicts with others, so he deliberately divided the city districts to prevent infighting between us. Alright, let's drive around a few more times. If there's no situation, let's go home and sleep. If there's something happening in other districts, it's their business, not ours. How about it, do you really want to catch the ghost baby?"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "If you're willing, it shouldn't be difficult. I have confidence in you."

"Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have much confidence in myself. Let's take it step by step," Yang Jian said, and then started the car again, wandering around the city district.

However, at this moment.

Ye Feng encountered a big trouble.

In this most familiar city district, he got lost.

No matter how he walked on the dimly lit streets, he couldn't find a way out. The way he came had disappeared.

"Are we trapped? It's exactly the same as when I encountered Yang Jian last time. Zhao Kaiming, don't you want to explain this situation?" Ye Feng looked at Zhao Kaiming, who had been silent from before until now, and asked directly.

Zhao Kaiming leaned on a golden cane and turned around with a smile, "This has nothing to do with me. Anything can happen in this situation. You can't blame me. But Professor Wang's previous speculation was correct. The fourth stage of the ghost baby's transformation indeed has many uncertain factors."

"He advised us not to touch it, and I also advise you not to touch it."

"Do you know something?" Ye Feng asked.

"I know something, and I don't know something. It's hard to explain. But speaking of which, where's He Chuan?" Zhao Kaiming asked.Ye Feng suddenly looked around.

He Chuan, who was with him just a moment ago, had disappeared without a trace.

"When did..." Before he could finish his sentence, he realized that Zhao Kaiming, who was ahead of him, was also gone.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left on the dimly lit street.

"Damn it, what is Zhao Kaiming trying to do? This definitely has something to do with him." Ye Feng gritted his teeth in anger.

He had only been wary of Yang Jian before, but it turned out that Zhao Kaiming was the real snake in the grass.

However, at that moment, a human silhouette suddenly appeared behind him. A cold, stiff, bluish-black arm rested on his shoulder, and a chill fell from the top of his head, spreading throughout his body. He seemed to lose control and froze on the spot.

Before he could react, the bluish-black arm quickly withdrew.

Ye Feng regained his mobility and turned around sharply.

But there was no one behind him.

Looking at his shoulder, a bluish-black handprint was left behind.

It was an adult's handprint, branded through his coat onto the dull, ancient shroud underneath. Lifting a corner of his clothes, he could even see that the handprint had appeared on his body, clear as day, impossible to erase.

"How is this possible." Cold sweat trickled down Ye Feng's face.

The shroud that could withstand the attack of fierce ghosts was useless this time.

"Damn it, I must find a way to get out of here." Ye Feng gritted his teeth.

However, just as he was about to act, he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying from the quiet street around him.

It was sharp and piercing, making his hair stand on end.

The cry of a ghost baby?

Ye Feng immediately identified the sound.

Then, he sprang into action, following the sound.

Since he was already lost, perhaps this sound was an opportunity, a way out of here.

Because where there's a crying ghost baby, there's a ghost baby being born, there are people being harmed, and there's a chance to run into others.

A moment later.

Ye Feng arrived at a small alley, panting heavily.

The sound was coming from here.

"I didn't see this alley on the road before, it's as if it appeared out of thin air."

He hesitated for a moment, but still entered the alley.
