Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 221: Successfully extracted

"Success?"

Yang Jian looked at his twisted and cracked arm, feeling that the ghost shadow attached to it was no longer out of control.

His arm regained sensation.

Although his arm was deformed, he didn't feel any pain.

"Crack~!"

The sound of joints rotating echoed, and in the next moment, Yang Jian's arm miraculously restored itself in a strange way. The cracks on his arm remained, indicating that it needed to heal on its own.

"It seems that it takes two Ghost Eyes to suppress the arm of a Ghost Shadow. Indeed, if the Ghost Shadow possesses a body, its level of terror will increase exponentially. When it is in a shadow state, it is the weakest. I really don't know if the words on the human skin paper were true or false. Can this thing really be perfectly controlled?"

Looking at his gradually recovering arm, his face remained heavy.

"Yang Jian, are you okay?"

In this situation, she could only silently watch as an onlooker, unable to take any action.

"For now... it's not a problem. My previous thoughts were correct. If it's just controlling one arm, it can still be done." Yang Jian touched his left hand.

Although he had sensation, it felt cold and stiff, like the arm of a corpse.

"Yang Jian, what are you doing over there? At this critical moment, you must not engage in any dangerous behavior. There are not many Ghost Controllers in Dachang City, and your presence is crucial. If your situation is not resolved quickly, it could potentially affect the situation going forward."

Liu Xiaoyu immediately reminded him through the satellite positioning phone.

Based on Yang Jian's previous conversation, it seemed that he was attempting something dangerous.

"I know what I'm doing. You don't need to remind me. It's precisely because of this special environment that I want to try to tap into the power of the Ghost Shadow within my body, in order to deal with any possible situations that may arise." Yang Jian said.

"If you want to study the Ghost Shadow, you should find Professor Wang. He is a leading expert in this field, and no one's research is more thorough than his." Liu Xiaoyu suggested, "If you need, I can contact him immediately."

"No need, I'm almost done here." Yang Jian didn't trust Wang Xiaoming very much, and he had just killed his brother. Did he still need to give him face by asking for help?

"Next, you better keep quiet. I need to deal with some blind spots. If you have time to talk to me, you might as well check if the files I requested have been organized. Oh, and I also need a copy of Zhao Kaiming's file."

"Be careful then."

Liu Xiaoyu didn't disturb Yang Jian as he dealt with the supernatural events.

"Miss Zhang, stand still. I'm going to make a third attempt." Yang Jian said again.

Zhang Liqin nervously stood there, saying, "I'm ready, go ahead."

Yang Jian raised his arm with a solemn expression. His entire arm was enveloped in a faint red light, the power of the Ghost Eye being released.

According to his plan, he would first use the power of the Ghost Domain to etherealize a normal person's body. However, the impact on the Ghost Shadow would definitely be different. Even if the Ghost Fetus and Zhang Liqin had merged, as long as there were differences between the two, he could directly distinguish them. Then, using the arm with the Ghost Shadow attached, he would grab the Ghost Fetus and extract it without harming any internal organs.

Suddenly.

His palm moved and abruptly grabbed towards Zhang Liqin's slightly bulging belly.

An unimaginable scene unfolded.

Yang Jian's entire palm strangely penetrated into her belly, but Zhang Liqin didn't feel any pain. It was just that a chilling sensation seemed to spread within her body.

But in the next moment.

The Ghost Fetus in Zhang Liqin's belly began to squirm rapidly. It escaped from under the skin and crawled upwards along the flesh.

Both of them could clearly see the moving bulge.

"Yang, Yang Jian, it, it's moving?" Zhang Liqin's face turned pale with fear.

"It's not just moving, it's running. It sensed the danger I brought." Yang Jian's gaze sharpened as he took a step forward, his entire arm entering Zhang Liqin's body, his palm reaching towards the direction where the Ghost Fetus was squirming.

Before it could reach the chest cavity, he felt something in his palm.

A cold creature struggling incessantly, a fist-sized body possessing an almost eerie strength.

"You still want to run? Get out of there!" Yang Jian pulled forcefully.

His entire arm was pulled out from Zhang Liqin's belly.

In his palm, he held a strange, unformed ghost fetus. He directly placed it into a golden box, ready to imprison it.

But as soon as he let go, the ghost fetus jumped up and quickly tried to escape from there."This ghostly thing is quite sinister. It's so small yet so ferocious. I can't imagine what it would be like when it grows up." Yang Jian wouldn't give it the chance. He directly picked up a withered finger from the side, pressed down the ghost infant, and nailed it down.

The withered finger pierced through the ghost infant's body, nailing it to the table.

The ghost infant let out a shrill cry and then lay motionless on the table as if it were dead.

Yang Jian prodded the ghost infant's body, making sure it was completely still before he finally relaxed.

However, he knew that although the ghost infant appeared to be dead, it was only temporarily nailed down. As soon as this withered finger was pulled out, the ghost infant would immediately resume its actions, becoming ferocious again.

Along with the finger, Yang Jian put the ghost infant back into a golden box, sealed it tightly, and wrapped it in several layers of gold foil to ensure absolute safety.

"Done." He finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing all this.

From today onwards, this ghost infant would probably find it very difficult to escape. Unless something unexpected happened, it would be locked up for a lifetime.

"Yang Jian, is it over?" Zhang Liqin dared to ask only after this terrifying scene ended.

Yang Jian said, "The ghost infant in your body is temporarily dealt with, but I really want to know how it got into your body? Do you really have no impression of what happened these days? Or have you encountered any strange incidents?"

He felt that the appearance of this second ghost infant must have a reason.

It couldn't have appeared in Zhang Liqin's belly for no reason.

"I really don't know. I've just been working normally these days," Zhang Liqin said.

"Has anyone around you experienced anything strange? Don't overlook any unusual details. Think carefully." Yang Jian said.

Zhang Liqin said, "Let me think again."

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to think." Yang Jian began to clean up the things on the table.

Just in case, he had prepared a lot of things.

However, while cleaning up, Yang Jian suddenly noticed that the sky outside was becoming increasingly strange.

Through the light reflected by the glass, he saw that the night outside was not black, but a strange green. This color, a mix of green and black, was just like the skin color of a dead infant, exactly the same as the ghost infant he had just taken out of Zhang Liqin's body.

"The ghost infant and this ongoing major event must be related. Zhang Liqin's situation is definitely not a coincidence. To fully understand this matter, I guess I'll have to wait until the problem reveals itself." Yang Jian thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Liqin suddenly said, "Oh, I remember something. I don't know if it's related to this, but I heard that a female neighbor in my residential area got pregnant and went to the hospital for a check-up."

"Pregnancy is a common thing for women. What's so special about it?" Yang Jian asked.

"But that female neighbor in my residential area is infertile. She has been married for nearly ten years and has never been pregnant. She often quarrels with her husband about this. The quarrels have been so intense that the police have been called several times. Everyone in the residential area knows about it." Zhang Liqin said.

Yang Jian's expression changed, "Did this happen recently?"

"Yes, it happened just these few days." Zhang Liqin nodded affirmatively.

"I'll have someone look into it tomorrow." Yang Jian said.

Zhang Liqin speculated, "Do you think that neighbor might be in the same situation as me?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's face changed instantly, "I hope not. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, this city is doomed." Yang Jian said in a low voice.

Zhang Liqin was startled, "Is it that serious?"

"It's even more serious than you can imagine. I'll have someone investigate and gather evidence tomorrow. You'd better keep today's events a secret. Don't mention it to anyone, remember, anyone." Yang Jian said.

"I will keep it a secret, don't worry." Zhang Liqin nodded.

Yang Jian said, "Your issue is temporarily resolved. It's already very late. If there's nothing else, go to sleep."

After walking a distance, he turned back and said, "What are you still standing there for? Come on."

Zhang Liqin was stunned for a moment, then blushed, "Wait a minute, I need to get my clothes."

Picking up her clothes from the floor, she immediately followed him, voluntarily entering the room with Yang Jian.

Meanwhile, an unknown terror was brewing in the dimly lit city of Da Chang.

The ordinary citizens had already noticed this large-scale anomaly. Some places had even started to panic, but fortunately, the incident was still relatively short-lived, and the panic had not spread.

However, in an unknown corner of this city, in a residential area shrouded in darkness, a baby's cry suddenly rang out.

The sharp and eerie cry sent chills down one's spine.
