Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 235: Taboo of being touched

This is the false city within the ghost domain.

It is exactly the same as Dachang City, whether it's the streets, buildings, or trees and greenery.

Anyone who enters here will not think that this world is fake.

The world within the ghost domain can deceive people, and also has the ability to deceive ghosts. Now, in this silent world, a dark and eerie baby seems to have just been born, emitting a chilling cry as it wanders along the street, gradually approaching a certain place.

Its eyeless, pitch-black eyes scan the world with an eerie and ferocious gaze.

Anyone who is seen by this creature will likely be unable to escape its clutches.

Unfortunately, apart from Yang Jian, there is no one else in the ghost domain for this ghost baby to harm. It cannot grow up in this world.

The ghost baby's movement speed is not slow, in fact, it's quite fast.

It's just that its route is not very regular, so it has wasted a lot of time.

There seems to be a road that doesn't exist on the map.

There was no change in Yang Jian's ghost domain, so the ghost baby began to wander there.

"It's almost certain that the ghost baby has stopped in this location and has been lingering without leaving," he immediately opened his phone, used the map navigation, and quickly confirmed the exact location.

"There's a pharmacy next to this street. The ghost baby is across from this pharmacy. If we reach the destination, I can pinpoint it accurately," Wang Xiaoming looked at the coordinates displayed on Yang Jian's phone and immediately noted them down. "I understand. The first attempt was successful. Now you can detain the ghost baby. I will gather manpower in the shortest time for the first contact. If all goes well, we will successfully resolve this supernatural event."

"If everything goes smoothly, that would be great... Wait a minute." Suddenly, at this moment, Yang Jian's face changed abruptly.

"What's happening?" Wang Xiaoming frowned.

Yang Jian was tense, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. "That road has appeared."

"That road? Are you referring to the seventh street I defined? What's going on?" Wang Xiaoming immediately asked.

Yang Jian said, "Damn it, a road suddenly appeared in the place where the ghost baby was staying. How is this possible? I didn't control the ghost domain to produce this kind of change. It feels like... my ghost domain has been invaded, and a fierce ghost has forcibly modified my ghost domain."

"This is impossible," Wang Xiaoming said decisively.

He had never heard of modifying someone else's ghost domain.

Li Jun also had a ghost domain and had faced several supernatural events, but he had never encountered such a thing.

"It's true. I have no reason to lie to you at this time. If you don't believe it, see for yourself." Yang Jian manifested the ghost domain.

The operating room was shrouded in red light, and in this red world, an illusory city appeared before their eyes, with the clearest view being of a street.

However, on this street, across from a pharmacy, there was a wall that had disappeared, replaced by a small road leading to a dim, dark world, like an endless abyss.

Various shops could be vaguely seen on both sides of the street, but all of them were closed and not open for business.

Wang Xiaoming's face darkened, and he quickly brought up the panoramic map of Dachang City. Soon, he found the location of this place and confirmed that this road indeed did not exist.

"Immediately retract the ghost domain. This street has taboos. You found it, and it found you. This has already involved another level."

"It's useless. Even if I retract the ghost domain, that street still exists." Yang Jian closed his ghost eyes, and the red light in the operating room disappeared.

But what followed was an unyielding darkness, and the entire hospital was filled with a dark, eerie atmosphere. The surrounding lights quickly dimmed and turned gray, and in the thickest part of the gloom, the image of a street appeared.

It was like a movie projection, but so clear.

"Professor Wang, retreat quickly. The situation is very wrong," the nearby security personnel urgently grabbed Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Wait, this is a very rare opportunity. It's very likely the ability of a fourth-stage ghost baby. I must see it with my own eyes."

The security personnel were both fearful and anxious. If it weren't for the strict orders from above, they would have left Wang Xiaoming to fend for himself.

These ghostly things were more terrifying than the next, and none of them were understandable by normal people.

"The ghost baby cannot be detained," Yang Jian opened his ghost eyes, saw through the darkness, and saw the ghost baby lingering in front of the illusory street.Out of caution and dread for the Seventh Street, he didn't take the risk of detaining the ghost infant that was within arm's reach.

There was no need to take such a risk.

With so many ghost infants in Dachang City, one more on the loose wouldn't make much of a difference.

He absolutely couldn't die here.

"Retreat!"

While on alert, Yang Jian slowly backed away.

However, at that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed from within the illusory street, and a figure appeared amidst the dark green haze at the far end of the street.

The features were indistinct, only a silhouette was visible.

The figure drew closer, the footsteps growing clearer, thudding in the quiet and dim operating room.

It was as if the ghost from the depths of the street was about to emerge.

Once the ghost inside came out, it was very likely to be a ghost infant that had surpassed the third stage and reached the fourth stage, unimaginably terrifying.

Perhaps, it was the very source of the paranormal event, the ghost infant that had revived after Zhou Zheng's death.

"Is this even possible?" Yet, at this moment, Yang Jian was shocked.

What shocked him was not how terrifying the ghost was, but that all this was happening within his own Ghost Realm, forcibly opening the door to the Seventh Street and walking out from the false illusion into a real ghost?

If this was possible, then the horror level of the incident defined as the "Starved Ghost" could reach an unprecedented height.

Because such ghosts had completely departed from conventional understanding and had evolved into a purely idealistic existence.

As the footsteps approached, the surrounding darkness grew denser.

The human-shaped silhouette became clearer, and Yang Jian could even see the slightly swaying hands, stiff, dark green, like the skin of a dead infant.

"Let's get out of here, the situation has become a bit complicated, that ghost's abilities exceed my estimates," Wang Xiaoming observed and then immediately turned to leave.

"No need to tell me, in this situation, if we don't leave, we're just waiting for death. I'd bet Ye Feng most likely fell to this thing."

Yang Jian also turned and ran, dashing out of the operating room and away from the illusory street as fast as he could.

The two met outside the operating room and headed down the corridor towards the hospital exit.

"Sound the alarm, evacuate everyone from the hospital, as many as we can," Wang Xiaoming instructed the accompanying staff.

Soon, the hospital's loudspeakers blared with the sound of the alarm.

"Isn't it a bit late to sound the alarm now?" Yang Jian said.

While running, Wang Xiaoming replied, "Don't worry, the majority of the hospital's personnel have already been evacuated. What's left are some staff and some special patients. I've considered this in my research here. If a situation arises and we need to evacuate and impose martial law immediately, the loss won't exceed fifty people."

"I've set up three such research locations. As long as we can leave here, the research can continue without impact. As for the sacrificed personnel, I think compared to the crisis in Dachang City, this is nothing."

Yang Jian's expression shifted, but he said nothing.

He had no right to criticize Wang Xiaoming's actions, because he would have done the same.

In the face of such a major event, everyone had to make some sacrifices; it was just the manner of sacrifice that differed.

As Wang Xiaoming and Yang Jian were evacuating, the figure within the operating room's street scene gradually walked out.

The tightly closed operating room door, which had been locked, now creaked slowly open,

The person hidden in the darkness actually pushed open the door and walked out from the operating room.

The entire hospital began to be rapidly eroded by a dark green aura.
