Chapter 232: Operating room

The entire book, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Horror Resurgence!

Time passed quickly, and it had been three days since the last meeting. The time for Wang Xiaoming's appointment was getting closer and closer.

But in these three days, everything in Dachang City seemed very calm.

Nothing special happened, except that more and more people were found to have ghost babies in their bodies. There were only over 130 cases before, but now there are more than 200 cases. If this continues, the time for the birth of the first batch of ghost babies will come soon.

Once that batch of ghost babies is born, Dachang City will have more than 100 ghosts.

With the current number of ghost tamers, it is impossible to solve this many supernatural events, and they can only wait for death.

The support from outside Dachang City is still cut off. Although many high-ranking police officers have put down their own city affairs to come and support, none of them can enter the city.

There is no good news, but bad news keeps coming.

Although Yang Jian has the ability to remove ghost babies, he chose to conceal it at this time.

Is he trying to tire himself to death?

If the root cause cannot be solved, even if these 200 ghost babies are eliminated, more will appear in the future.

Wang Xiaoming knows that Yang Jian has this ability, but he did not mention it. With his intelligence, he believes that Yang Jian's importance is greater than the people currently possessed by ghost babies.

Under the supervision of Zhang Xiangu, the shelter in Guanjiang District is being built at the fastest speed, but time is running out. In addition, the public security in Dachang City is gradually becoming a problem, and many tasks cannot be carried out smoothly. Whether the shelter can be completed on time is a problem.

One headache after another.

Apart from driving around the dark city every day, Yang Jian has nothing else to do.

He knows that the situation is getting worse, but he cannot change it.

One person's power seems particularly small, even if he controls two ghosts.

"If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, it seems that I have to consider hanging myself in front of the ghost mirror. There has been no news from Ye Feng for three days. Most likely, he's done for. Although I dislike that guy, I have to admit that Ye Feng's ability to control ghosts is quite troublesome." Yang Jian sighed as he drove.

"That shroud was able to resist my ghost shadow attack, but now it died at the hands of the ghost baby? What happened at that time?"

"It only left the number 7 before it died."

"But the ghost that can kill Ye Feng is definitely not just in the third stage. Maybe it has encountered a ghost baby in the fourth stage."

While thinking, he observed the surrounding situation.

Today is as quiet as ever.

There are very few pedestrians on the road, only armed police patrolling to maintain public security.

The city is gradually becoming somewhat desolate. It is unknown how many people have disappeared in the darkness. Yang Jian can clearly perceive this. The day before, there were people gathered at the entrance of a certain community discussing this incredible situation. The next day, the community became empty.

"Yang Jian, any discoveries?" Zhang Han's voice came from the walkie-talkie in the car.

"Still nothing happening." Yang Jian replied.

Sun Yi on the walkie-talkie added, "It's the same here. The car is out of gas, and I haven't seen any ghost babies. How much is the price of gas now? Can it be reimbursed? I only have a few tens of dollars in my pocket. Can any of you lend me some money to refuel? I'll pay you back when I get my salary next month."

To speed up efficiency, the three of them split up to patrol, using the walkie-talkie to stay in contact and provide support immediately if there is a situation.

Yang Jian ignored Sun Yi's poverty and said, "I have a speculation these days, although it's unlikely, I still want to say it."

"What have you thought of?" Zhang Han asked.

"I think the ghost babies are actively avoiding us. They are not absent from this city, but are hiding."

"Hiding? How is that possible? Even if that's the case, what is the purpose of hiding?" Zhang Han asked.

"I'm not sure. Maybe they are waiting for a certain opportune moment, or maybe the time has not come. But I can be sure that if we can't find a breakthrough, when the supernatural events really erupt, we will have no chance to turn the tables." Yang Jian said, "I have this kind of premonition."

"Could the 7 left by Ye Feng mean seven days? According to folklore, a person returns to life seven days after death, and that night is the most vicious for ghosts. So Professor Wang asked us to catch the ghost babies within seven days. If it doesn't work, we'll go to investigate the place where Ye Feng disappeared and take the most dangerous attempt." Zhang Han said.

"It's not impossible. Wait, I received a task."

As they were chatting, Liu Xiaoyu's voice came from the satellite positioning phone in Yang Jian's hand, "Yang Jian, the situation is urgent. Please go to a certain hospital in Dachang City immediately. It's Professor Wang's instruction."

"Did Professor Wang say what it's about?" Yang Jian asked.

"No," Liu Xiaoyu replied.

Yang Jian turned the steering wheel and said, "Is it a mistake to put all our chips on Wang Xiaoming? He hasn't made any progress for several days. This professor is a bit incompetent.""At this time, we can only trust Professor Wang. I hope you can cooperate at this time, and everything will be fine after this is over," Liu Xiaoyu patiently comforted.

"What if it doesn't work? Can I act according to my own methods when the time comes?" Yang Jian asked. "Miss Liu, your level is too low, let Zhao Jianguo answer."

Soon, the call was transferred, and Zhao Jianguo said, "Can you ensure Professor Wang's safety?"

"I can't guarantee it completely, but I have some confidence," Yang Jian said.

"How much confidence?"

"About forty percent," Yang Jian said.

Zhao Jianguo pondered for a moment and said, "If there is no progress after seven days, I agree to your personal action."

"I've recorded your words. Don't blame me if there are any consequences," Yang Jian said with a smile.

"I understand, I won't bother you anymore," Zhao Jianguo hung up.

At this moment, Yang Jian had already driven to the entrance of a hospital.

It was heavily guarded by armed police, completely sealed off. No one could enter or leave without authorization.

"It seems that Professor Wang's research has made some progress, otherwise he wouldn't have called me alone," Yang Jian looked around, only his car was there, without Wang Xiaoming, Sun Yi, or Zhang Han.

"I am Detective Yang Jian. Where is Professor Wang?" Yang Jian asked.

"Hello, Detective Yang, please come this way," a staff member immediately greeted him.

Guided by the staff, Yang Jian arrived in front of an operating room.

But along the way, he heard many patients' painful screams, as if they were being tortured by some terrible illness.

"Professor, Yang Jian is here."

The door of the operating room opened, and Professor Wang was sitting at a surgical table, recording something with a pen while receiving an IV drip. His white coat was stained with a lot of bright red blood, and the entire operating room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

It seemed as if this place had become a slaughterhouse, having slaughtered many animals before.

"Your work like this will lead to sudden death very soon," Yang Jian glanced at the IV bag, which contained only glucose, indicating that Wang Xiaoming was not actually ill.

"You're here," Wang Xiaoming put down the pen in his hand and looked up at him. "Some of my research has encountered a bottleneck and I need your help. Without enough assistants, I can't fully carry out the work. Both you and Li Jun have the Ghost Domain, which is very important to me, although I don't really want to ask you."

"I know," Yang Jian said. "I wonder what stage Professor Wang's research has reached now?"

"I have already figured out the killing and growth patterns of the second stage Ghost Infant. The third stage Ghost Infant lacks research materials and cannot be determined, only speculated. But all of this is not important. What's important is that I have made a new discovery in these days," Wang Xiaoming stood up and said.

"What discovery?" Yang Jian asked.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Before the seven-day deadline, I sent people to investigate the place where Ye Feng and He Chuan had an accident. Unfortunately, nothing was found there."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian's expression changed slightly. "Why didn't you tell me this news earlier?"

"Because it wasn't necessary. Setting a seven-day deadline can make you work harder," Wang Xiaoming said calmly. "And this is not good news, because we have lost the last chance to take a desperate gamble."

"I personally believe that the place where Ye Feng had an accident does not exist on any street in Dachang City. It should be a special place, a world similar to the Ghost Domain. I currently call that place the Seventh Street."

"And the purpose of calling you here today is to ask for your help in finding that location and entering it."

"What's the point of going in? If Ye Feng died in there, do we have to die in there too?" Yang Jian asked.

"This is just the first step. After finding the location, it is not necessary to go in. I need to continue the research to determine the source and where the starving ghost actually is," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Do you know something?" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.

"I know something, but I can't tell you yet. It needs to be completed in the first step, otherwise everything will be meaningless," Wang Xiaoming said.

"What do you want me to do?" Yang Jian asked.

"I heard that you have a way to extract the Ghost Infant?"

"That's right."

"Very well, let's start with saving people," Wang Xiaoming said. "Bring the patient in and start the operation."

As the voice fell, the door of the operating room opened, and a patient was pushed in.

The patient was a man, with a high, bulging belly, like a pregnant woman. He was emaciated, with a furrowed brow and a pained expression on his face.

"I have used the maximum amount of painkillers that the human body can bear. You can rest assured to use your method, but I hope that everything will be done in your Ghost Domain, and your Ghost Domain should simulate the entire map of Dachang City," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Are you trying to follow the clues? Is this useful?" Yang Jian asked. "Using human thinking to guess the thoughts of ghosts, isn't that a bit naive?"

"Try it and see. You won't lose anything," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Okay, I'll make an exception and try it. Also, I will only help this once. If you need to verify your results through repeated attempts, I refuse. I don't want to die from the revival of the Ghost Infant," Yang Jian said.

Continuously using the ability, even if you can control two ghosts, they will still revive."Of course, your importance in Dachang City now surpasses anyone else's, including mine," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Then, let's begin," Yang Jian approached the patient.

The contours of a baby writhed incessantly beneath the swollen belly.

The ghostly entity within was about to be born, having reached the size of a newborn.
