Chapter 239: The extinguished ghost candle

"What a joke! Did he just die like that?" Zhang Han was dumbfounded, he couldn't even hear the struggling inside from the Ghost Tamer.

Even a toad will struggle before it dies, at the very least, it will twitch its leg.

Zhao Kaiming sneered, "Blaming others for your own mistakes. Do you really think you can act recklessly just because you've tamed a ghost? This is a ghost in a complete state of revival. The incident has been defined as S-level. The ghosts inside you guys are not on the same level at all."

"Once targeted, it's certain death. Look at yourselves, you need to realize the severity of the situation. Even Ye Feng is finished."

Hearing this, and seeing the scene just now, the others felt a chill running through their bodies, feeling cold all over.

Wang Xiaoming also saw this, but remained indifferent, saying, "Keep moving forward, but stay away from the nearby door. Don't touch it."

"Keep moving forward? Professor Wang, at this rate, we're all likely to die here. Shouldn't we think of another way?" Sun Yi said, sounding afraid.

Wang Xiaoming replied, "You guys might die, and I might die, but even as an ordinary person, I'm not afraid. Why are you scared?"

That's not how it works. You're a world-renowned professor, and I'm just a struggling person who hasn't even paid off my mortgage. How can we be the same? Sun Yi felt a deep sense of despair, feeling like he was most likely going to die here.

The ghosts here attack without leaving any room to breathe.

Watching Wang Xiaoming continue forward without hesitation, the others had no choice but to follow.

"Yang Jian, think of a way. This won't work. A Ghost Tamer died in just over ten minutes. If this continues, we might not be able to leave this hospital." On the way, Zhang Han leaned over and whispered, "Wang Xiaoming is acting recklessly. We can't follow him blindly."

"He's not wrong. If we don't solve this supernatural event, we're all going to die. It seems like we have many choices, but in reality, we have none. We can only fight for our lives," Yang Jian calmly pushed the cart.

"But sacrificing ourselves is not the right thing to do," Zhang Han said. "If we're going to fight, we need to choose the right direction."

Yang Jian said, "Right now, Wang Xiaoming is looking for the right direction. Do you think that person died in vain? No, Wang Xiaoming used that person's life to test the ghost's behavior. It's just that the person was a bit weak, or the ghost was too powerful, and he died too quickly, exceeding expectations."

"What? Is that so?" Zhang Han looked surprised and somewhat disbelieving.

Wang Xiaoming is so ruthless, using our lives to experiment?

"It's not necessary. After being attacked by a ghost, as long as you survive, everything will be fine. If you can't survive, you can't blame others," Yang Jian said.

And... how come those dark green arms looked like a child's arms, which means it's the second stage of the ghost infant.

Perhaps it's somewhere between the second and third stages.

In any case, it's definitely impossible to reach the third stage.

This means that there is more than one ghost here.

"My Ghost Eye is becoming increasingly unclear. It's being eroded by this black and green color. In our confrontation, my Ghost Eye is at a clear disadvantage and is currently in a suppressed state," Yang Jian's red world within the Ghost Eye was rapidly disappearing, gradually returning to a dim black and green world.

The Ghost Eye was drowsy, wanting to close, and even a bit out of control, wanting to sleep forever.

If it were a normal situation, this would be good news for him, but now, it was clearly very bad news.

"Wang Xiaoming, wait a moment."

After walking a while longer, they still couldn't find a way out. At this point, Yang Jian also noticed that the Ghost Eye had closed and had to stop everyone.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"I'll lead the way. We'll never get out of here like this. Although we haven't been deceived, it's certain that everything here has been completely changed under the influence of the Ghost Infant's power. We've walked so far, but the ghosts know exactly where we are," Yang Jian said.

"Yang Jian, do you have a plan?" Sun Yi asked anxiously.

Without hesitation, Yang Jian took out the Ghost Candle from his backpack.

"Are you planning to use it now?" Wang Xiaoming frowned. "There's still two-thirds left. It won't last long."

He was the developer of the Ghost Candle, so he knew very well what it was for.

But he thought this thing should be used when dealing with the source. In the absence of outside help, this was the last strategic resource.

"Now doesn't seem like the time to be frugal, and the thing you want to retrieve from your office, if I'm not mistaken, should be that finger, right?" Yang Jian said.

Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "That's right. If we retrieve that thing, our chances of winning will be greater."

"In that case," Yang Jian walked ahead and lit the Ghost Candle.

The eerie green flame flickered, illuminating the surroundings.

Immediately, the black and green aura that filled the area dissipated rapidly, and everything around them became a bit brighter.

They could see the nearby road clearly.However, at this moment, Yang Jian noticed that the ghost candle in his hand was burning at an alarming rate, as if it were accelerating, quickly consuming itself with crackling emerald flames, as though it were about to unleash all its energy and struggling against something.

Taking advantage of the ghost candle's light, everyone could finally see their surroundings clearly.

The sight before them made everyone gasp in shock.

Where they had previously seen a door with a sign hanging over it, there was no outpatient clinic door. Instead, standing there were figures with blackish-green skin, stiff and motionless. No, they could no longer be considered human; they were all growing ghost infants... real ghosts.

These ghosts had their eyes tightly shut, frozen in place, seemingly yet to awaken.

It turned out that the outpatient clinic they had seen before was all transformed by ghosts. No wonder the person who kicked open the door died; he must have awakened a ghost with his kick. Who else would it kill if not him?

"Whew!"

But in the next moment, Yang Jian felt someone blow a breath by his ear.

Instantly, the ghost candle went out.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings once again.

"Impossible." Yang Jian was shocked as he looked at the extinguished ghost candle in his hand.

Since obtaining the ghost candle, this was the first time he had encountered it being extinguished.

And he was certain it wasn't extinguished by himself; it was forcefully blown out by something.

That chilling sensation was like a fierce ghost perched on his shoulder, blowing air.

Following the direction from which the cold came, Yang Jian saw Zhao Kaiming's gloomy face.

Was the incident just now related to him?

Or did Zhao Kaiming use his own ghostly power to extinguish Yang Jian's ghost candle?

"Everyone, follow me."

However, before he could ponder any further, Wang Xiaoming took the lead and immediately ran ahead.

The light previously emitted by the ghost candle had allowed him to clearly discern the path ahead, knowing how to get out of this haunted place.
