While Si Ye was analyzing the 'Ghost Infant Rocking Horse' Card, Yang Jian had already recalled the Headless Ghost Shadow from his body.
Although the process of recalling it was somewhat perilous, fortunately, no accidents occurred.
Zhang Han was, after all, a Ghost Controller who commanded two ghosts; even if he couldn't fully utilize the abilities of the fierce ghost within his body, he wasn't someone easily controlled.
"Did it succeed?"
Zhang Han rubbed his neck, in immense pain, his voice hoarse.
"We can only say the situation is temporarily stable; the rest depends on the circumstances." Yang Jian looked solemnly at that Fourth stage ghost infant.
"It's finally over." Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, I feel like this matter isn't over." Yang Jian saw things with his Ghost Eye that others could not.
Outside this Ghost Domain, those gathered Third stage ghost infants had not dispersed.
The only reason they hadn't attacked everyone was because the isolation of the Ghost Domain prevented the ghost infants from finding their targets.
"Si Ye, how are you doing?"
Yang Jian looked at Si Ye; Si Ye's performance at the critical moment this time was quite good.
At the very least, Yang Jian believed that when he first commanded a fierce ghost, his control wasn't as good as Si Ye's.
Of course, this was also because the main ability of the Ghost Eye was the Ghost Domain.
"I'm alright."
Si Ye felt the situation inside his body, then glanced at Zhang Han and Yang Jian's conditions.
He felt his current physical state should be much better than Yang Jian's and Zhang Han's.
Although Yang Jian had recalled the Headless Ghost Shadow, the Ghost Eye in his body was becoming somewhat uncontrollable.
Zhang Han didn't look as severe, but his appearance was also miserable, as he had taken the brunt of the Headless Ghost Shadow's invasion just now.
"Hurry up and put this ghost thing away, then get out of here." Yang Jian said, "Where is the container?"
Glancing around, he saw the Golden chest on the pushcart.
Without hesitation, he pushed the pushcart into the Ghost Domain and approached the Fourth stage ghost infant.
"I'll help you."
Si Ye walked to Yang Jian's side, helping to place the ghost infant into the Golden Coffin.
"Yang Jian, should we strip off this Shroud? This thing on this ghost is too dangerous. I suggest storing it separately, at least don't let the fierce ghost wear it, otherwise, we won't be able to deal with it next time."
Zhang Han felt a headache seeing the Shroud.
Yang Jian's gaze shifted slightly: "That makes sense."
"Don't touch it directly; this Shroud is very strange. We can't afford any more trouble right now. I'll use the Ghost Shadow to take it off."
This Shroud had caused him too much trouble.
It was a hidden danger whether worn by a human or a ghost.
He controlled the Ghost Shadow to condense into a pair of hands, attempting to unfasten the Shroud and pull the thing off the fierce ghost.
However, just as he unfastened one button of the Shroud, the ghost infant's hand moved slightly, and a pair of pupil-less eyes shifted, looking towards Yang Jian.
"Damn it." Zhang Han was startled and quickly retreated several steps.
"Let's not move it anymore. Hurry up and seal it, otherwise, more unexpected situations might arise soon," Si Ye said, frowning upon seeing this.
"Forget it, let's just put it away for now and study it later," Zhang Han suggested.
"That's the only way," Yang Jian agreed.
After several people worked together to place the Corpse inside and close the chest, they temporarily sealed it.
It was a pity that the conditions didn't allow it; if they could, they would have prepared to completely weld this Golden chest shut.
"Phew, it's finally done. This thing is too terrifying."
Zhang Han wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Right, how is the Professor's situation? Is he alright? He better not die; if he dies, the mission assigned from above will be botched."
"Let me see." Yang Jian opened his Ghost Eye and looked in the direction where Wang Xiaoming had been.
The group soon found Wang Xiaoming in a restroom.
He was unharmed, just sitting with his eyes closed next to Sun Yi's Corpse, awaiting the arrangement of fate.
But Zhao Kaiming had disappeared at some point.
"When did Zhao Kaiming leave here? He could leave even during that kind of situation?" Yang Jian's expression changed.
Wang Xiaoming opened his eyes, his expression calm: "It seems it succeeded, but the influence of the Ghost Domain hasn't disappeared. The situation is worse than I imagined."
"The ghost just now was not the Source Ghost. I speculated that since the ghost infant has infant, juvenile, and adolescent stages, perhaps there is also an adult stage."
"It might be more appropriate to call the ghost we just dealt with the Fourth stage ghost infant."
Yang Jian frowned, but he seemed to see something, and his expression changed.
"We can't worry about that now. My Ghost Domain won't last much longer. If we keep wasting time, I'll be finished once the Ghost Eye revives. Since Wang Xiaoming isn't dead, let's leave here quickly."
Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain to take the group away from the Hospital.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them arrived on the Rooftop of a building several hundred meters away across the street.
"Wait, where's the chest? Where is that huge chest that was right next to me just now?"
As soon as Zhang Han stabilized himself, he suddenly realized something important was missing.
"Did you leave it behind?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's face looked grim; he said: "The Ghost Domain transfer failed. In that instant, the chest seemed to be grabbed by something."
"It was intercepted?" Wang Xiaoming said lightly: "It seems all our efforts were in vain."
"If we hadn't lingered there for a moment, this wouldn't have happened," Zhang Han regretted immensely.
"Perhaps if we had taken that chest, that ghost would have tracked us down, and we might have been buried with it. What's done is done; there's no point in talking about 'if's' now," Wang Xiaoming stated.
"Besides, this operation was a failure from the start. Even if we had taken the chest, it would still be a failure and wouldn't change the overall situation."
"Maybe relying on that Shroud on Ye Feng's body gives us a chance to turn things around," Zhang Han was still unwilling to give up.
"Ye Feng himself is already dead; the Shroud is clearly unreliable."
Wang Xiaoming's voice turned cold: "We lack a powerful means to restrict the Source Ghost. Without that, we cannot imprison it. That finger was the last chance; the moment it was used on the wrong ghost, we lost."
"Moreover, the Ghost Candle has been used up, and we have no means left to create opportunities. Under these circumstances, we can't even get close to that Source Ghost."
"No one understands the current predicament better than I do," Wang Xiaoming said solemnly.
"We need to find a new breakthrough point."
"Let's leave first," Si Ye reminded them: "Although we are some distance from the Hospital now, for a fierce ghost possessing a powerful Ghost Domain, this distance is far too short."
"Let's go." Yang Jian was also very unwilling.
"I sensed something very dangerous just now; let's leave quickly first."
Today is the little author's birthday, so I'll just update one chapter for now.
