Chapter 38


Liu Xiaoyu had just planned to put down her work and return to her dormitory to rest when she received a call from Yang Jian. She immediately became serious. Generally speaking, a Ghost Tamer would not make a satellite call without encountering a supernatural event or encountering a ghost. At this time, the task of the switchboard operator was very arduous. They had to collect information, organize files, and evaluate levels…it was a very important part of maintaining regional stability. So even if she had just woken up, once the phone rang, she had to immediately go to her work post.

Listening to Yang Jian’s description, Liu Xiaoyu pulled up the file of Ghost Infant Zhou Zheng, furrowed her eyebrows, and showed a very serious expression. “Are you saying that the Ghost Infant that came out of Zhou Zheng’s stomach is growing…a few days ago it was still in the form of a baby, and now it’s a child, and it also has a tendency to use the Ghost Domain?”

“Yes, that’s the general situation. Also, one of my classmates was left with two handprints by that Ghost Infant. Later, the Ghost Infant seemed to have targeted her and was determined to eat her, like a curse from the knocking sound. Do you have any similar cases over there? Do you think of any way to solve this?” Yang Jian said.

“In the previous supernatural files, there were indeed cases where the police encountered similar situations. Most ghosts with a clear motive to kill generally have two conditions to satisfy: one is a hard trigger condition, and the other is a killing rule, just like the motive and modus operandi of ordinary people’s murder.”

“The trigger condition for the previous knocking ghost was the knocking sound, and the killing method was ghost knocking. Of course, other killing methods cannot be ruled out. The killing method of the Ghost Infant should be…eating, killing a person by eating them. The trigger condition should be touching.”

“I analyzed some information and concluded that the Ghost Infant should eat the person it touches first, or if someone else touches it, it would be the same. It is now staring at your classmate just because she has had contact with the Ghost Infant.”

“I haven’t had any contact with the Ghost Infant before, but it still attacked me,” Yang Jian said.

In the school, he was the first to be attacked by a ghost.

“Most ghosts have indiscriminate killing. Under the condition that the trigger has not been satisfied, they will randomly attack people around them. Also, the first person the Ghost Infant saw after leaving Zhou Zheng’s body was you, so it regards you as its prey. However, this type of ghost with spreading and wandering characteristics is generally defined as B-level.”

“Encountering a ghost does not mean that you will be safe if you do not meet the requirements. It can only be said that after understanding the rules of the ghost, survival rate can be improved,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

When Yang Jian heard this, his mouth twitched. He now understood why Fang Jing in the school was sacrificing others frantically to exchange for his own survival.

“Regarding the handprint on your classmate, I think it may be a Ghost Slave Mark,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

Ghost Slave Mark?Yang Jian said, “What is it? What’s the difference between it and a ghost slave?”

“Each ghost that can use the Ghost Domain has an ability, which is to turn the dead into ghost slaves. Ghost slaves have no reason and have nothing to do with their appearance in life. They are a kind of alternative ghost, so don’t be fooled by their appearance. And ghost slaves unconditionally obey the ghost master. You should have encountered it in school, but that knocking ghost’s level is too high. It can control more ghost slaves than you can imagine. We have defined it as A-level.”

A-level, in a certain amount of time, can destroy a city’s population of ghosts.

Yang Jian’s heart trembled. The knocking ghost was so terrifying.

“And the ghost slave mark is actually a mark of the fierce ghost, just like the trademark of a company. Although your classmate is not dead, she is already a ghost slave in that ghost domain. She will be controlled when she dies. The information I have temporarily obtained is this,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

Upon hearing these words over the phone, Yang Jian’s heart sank. “So, does that ghost baby plan to collect a beauty as a harem before its hair grows out? I thought it was a serious ghost, but it turns out to be a little pervert.”

“…As far as the current situation is concerned, ghosts have no desires. They have no concept of beauty or ugliness. Perhaps your classmate is a girl, and at that time, the ghost baby had just crawled out of Zhou Zheng’s belly. After the attack on you failed, it chose to attack someone who looked weaker. That’s all,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“Is there any way to remove that mark?” Yang Jian asked.

“There is no way, but there may be a feasible solution that no one in the criminal police has tried,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“Why?” Yang Jian asked.

“The requirements are too high,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“What requirements?” Yang Jian asked.

“The most basic requirement is that the ghost rider who can control the ghost’s power can use the Ghost Domain. A professor speculated that if ghosts can have ghost slaves, then ghost riders should also be able to have ghost slaves. Using a ghost slave mark to top the fierce ghost’s mark can get rid of the fierce ghost’s pursuit,” Liu Xiaoyu said.

“Are you making this up? The mark is still on my body,” Yang Jian said.

“It’s different. The fierce ghost is dead, and the ghost rider is alive. Even if the ghost slave becomes a ghost rider, it will not lose its reason and has a fundamental difference from the ghost slave… Of course, if you die from the fierce ghost’s resurrection, your ghost slave before your death will be taken over by the ghost in your body.”

“… ” Yang Jian’s face turned black.

Ghost riders are short-lived people. Isn’t this just jumping from one fire pit to another?

It’s still the same death.

“I understand. Let’s talk again next time,” Yang Jian said.

“Wait, wait,” Liu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped him.

“What else?” Yang Jian asked.Liu Xiaoyu said, “I need to establish a file for you. I hope you can cooperate. It would be best if you know something about the ghost inside your body, such as its abilities, characteristics, and form… If you don’t cooperate next time, I won’t help you with your work.”

“Okay.”

Yang Jian thought for a moment and felt that it didn’t matter, so he mentioned the matter of his eyes.

After Liu Xiaoyu finished recording, she said, “We have arranged for someone to take care of your mother. She has entered a regular company and will return to Dachang City from out of town after a while. You can rest assured. By the way, how about your father’s matter last time? Can you tell me more about it?”

“Father? Didn’t he die when I was a child? What are you talking about?” Yang Jian asked in confusion.

Liu Xiaoyu was stunned and said, “Last time, didn’t you say your father was next to you in your rented room? I suspect it was a ghost that made you leave that place.”

“That ghost is just a ghost. Why bring up my father?” Yang Jian said. “Do you think that ghost is my father? Don’t be ridiculous.”

“…” Liu Xiaoyu didn’t get angry, but frowned instead.

From Yang Jian’s tone, he didn’t seem to be joking.

The only explanation was… his memory had been tampered with again.

A ghost that could tamper with human memory? She couldn’t find one… even for a ghost controller. But why hadn’t she changed herself?

Liu Xiaoyu quickly took notes, ready to give this information to the high IQ think tank for reasoning. This wasn’t her job.

“Okay, if there’s nothing else, let’s end it here. We’ll talk next time,” Yang Jian said.

“Finally, are you okay recently?” Liu Xiaoyu suddenly asked.

“I’m fine, no problem,” Yang Jian hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Wang Bin and Wang Haiyan in the car and said, “Did you hear that?”

“This is a call from an operator at the Interpol Asian Branch. What she said represents the authority of various countries. In fact, countries around the world have been involved in supernatural events, but they are afraid of causing global panic and adding to the turmoil, so they have been hiding it. Now that you have come into contact with this matter, I won’t avoid it anymore, so as not to be called a charlatan or a madman by some people.”

The Wang family fell into deep silence.

Everyone’s heart was not calm.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Shanshan again and suddenly his expression changed.

He saw a faint red mark on Wang Shanshan’s wrist, which looked like… an eye, but it was dim and almost disappearing.

“When did you get this?” Yang Jian grabbed Wang Shanshan’s hand suddenly.

Wang Shanshan shrank back and whispered, “You scratched me in school and I got it.”

This was the mark of a ghost slave!

Yang Jian was stunned and he remembered.He did save Wang Shanshan by grabbing her wrist back when they were still in school.

Was that when the mark was left?

Now Yang Jian understood.

Why hadn’t Wang Shanshan died despite being haunted by the ghost infant for several days? It was because of his mark… but now that the ghost infant had grown stronger, the mark was fading away.

“This mark can save people, but it can also harm them.” Yang Jian’s expression changed as he fell into deep thought.

However, not long after Yang Jian hung up the phone, there was a new file in the archives of the Asian division, with his name written in bold letters on the first page: Ghost Eye Detective… Yang Jian (not hired).
