It was half-past six in the morning.
The streets of Dachang City began to see more foot traffic, vendors started opening their businesses, and some office workers were already starting their busy day. The streets were filled with moving vehicles, and the sidewalks were crowded with people.
Especially the primary and middle school students, they were already awake at this hour, starting to head towards the School one after another.
Tap tap tap tap………
Among the crowd, Su Mu Bai walked on the sidewalk holding a rusty Coffin Nail in his right hand. His unique appearance attracted the attention of many people around him.
But most people only glanced out of curiosity as to why Su Mu Bai was holding a rusty iron nail, and then they went back to their own business.
“This is an era of busyness, and also an era of sorrow. Once upon a time, I was just one of these ordinary masses, just like them.”
“If it weren't for this transmigration, my life would also have been very mundane, just the routine of Work, going home, eating, and sleeping—a life confined to three points.”
Looking at the crowded and busy people, Su Mu Bai suddenly became somewhat sentimental.
Su Mu Bai was merely expressing his feelings; at this moment, he could only empathize but not truly experience it!
The body of the Fierce Ghost was affecting him, causing human emotions to gradually become indifferent, but this influence was different from that of a Ghost Controller.
A Ghost Controller gradually loses themselves under the influence of the Fierce Ghost within their body, eventually becoming more and more like a ghost until a complete Supernatural Revival occurs.
Su Mu Bai was different; he himself was a ghost. No matter the influence, he remained himself, but his inner self would become increasingly cold and ruthless.
On the sidewalk, Su Mu Bai appeared to be drifting aimlessly with the flow of people, but that was not the case; he had a clear objective.
Su Mu Bai’s gaze was fixed on a woman in her thirties ahead of him; she was a pregnant woman whose belly was already slightly protruding.
If one observed closely, they would notice that the Middle-aged Woman’s expression was haggard, her complexion unusually pale, and her eyes revealed an unconcealable trace of fear.
“Carrying a ghost seed, the baby in her belly is not an ordinary infant, but a Starvation Ghost's Ghost Slave.” Su Mu Bai, following closely behind the pregnant woman, tightened his grip on the Coffin Nail.
The reason he risked pulling out the Coffin Nail was precisely to deal with the Starvation Ghost!
Therefore, after successfully obtaining the Coffin Nail, Su Mu Bai eagerly began searching for traces of the Starving Ghost.
Finally, after searching several streets, Su Mu Bai encountered the Middle-aged Woman carrying the Ghost Infant on this particular street.
“Dachang City is not huge, nor is it small. If I relied on finding the Starvation Ghost myself, I wouldn't know how long it would take. But if I find the Ghost Infant/Ghost Slave belonging to the Starvation Ghost, I can follow the trail to find the Starvation Ghost!”
His gaze was fixed tightly on the Middle-aged Woman ahead, or more accurately, on the location of her belly.
Judging by the woman's protruding belly, she looked like a pregnant woman who was about three to five months along. A normal person would likely have to wait another half a year for a safe delivery.
But how could a Fierce Ghost’s child be the same as an Ordinary Person’s child? Perhaps at this moment she looked like a normal pregnant woman only three or five months along, but she might give birth the very next second.
“I hope the Ghost Infant is born soon, so I can trace the Source of the Starvation Ghost through it,” Su Mu Bai thought.
With the Coffin Nail in hand, Su Mu Bai had no fear of the Starvation Ghost. What truly warranted his attention was the other Fierce Ghost that was nurturing the Starvation Ghost.
“Zhao Kaiming’s Wish Ghost is one of the most mysterious Fierce Ghosts in the Original Work. It has clearly developed its own consciousness and is an intelligent ghost. A pity that no further plot involving it appeared later; I wonder just how terrifying it is.”
Su Mu Bai rapidly recalled the plot progression concerning the Starvation Ghost in his mind.
“According to my speculation, the Starvation Ghost shouldn't actually possess the ability to Restart, as its Ghost Domain is only three layers, and a three-layer Ghost Domain is clearly incapable of a regional restart!”
“Therefore, the real reason for the Starvation Ghost’s restart in the Original Work was because of the Wish Ghost…”
Tap, tap tap!
While contemplating, Su Mu Bai followed the Middle-aged Woman to the entrance of a Hospital. The Middle-aged Woman did not stop but walked directly towards the clinic inside the Hospital.
“This Hospital has a big problem…” Su Mu Bai stopped behind her, scrutinizing the Hospital with a grave expression.
In the eyes of an Ordinary Person, this Hospital looked the same as usual, with no abnormality whatsoever.
However, what Su Mu Bai saw was an entirely different scene. The entire Hospital was shrouded in a dark cyan Aura, appearing gloomy and Dim!
His Perception belonging to a Fierce Ghost told him there were ghosts in this Hospital, and more than one!
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Su Mu Bai’s mouth. He then tightened his right hand clutching the Coffin Nail, and the light of a Black Ghost Domain shone from him.
“I found the right place. If nothing unexpected happens, this is the Hospital where that Ghost Infant will be born!”
Black Mist permeated the area, creeping towards the nearby Hospital, and Su Mu Bai’s Figure vanished from his spot, Teleporting directly into the Hospital.
………………
“What’s going on? Why did the sky turn dark?”
Inside the Hospital, voices rose in commotion. Everyone looked around in alarm. The previously bright environment suddenly plunged into pitch blackness, shrouded in hazy Mist.
This scene stunned many people inside the Hospital.
Without any warning, this darkness descended abruptly, enveloping only the Hospital and a portion of the surrounding Area, as if it were artificially controlled.
“Should we call the police?”
“I tried, there’s no signal, the phone won’t go through at all!”
Soon, the crowd inside the Hospital began to stir. Some who reacted quickly thought of calling the police but found their phones had absolutely no signal.
Of course, it wasn't just the people inside the Hospital who noticed something was wrong; people outside the Hospital also witnessed this Eerie scene and chose to report it.
The reports were escalated layer by layer, quickly reaching the relevant Department………
“Beep beep beep~~~”
The vibration of his phone woke up Yang Jian, who hadn't been sleeping soundly anyway. He picked up his phone and saw it was a call from Headquarters.
“Getting a call this early in the morning, it definitely isn't good news!”
After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian finally pressed the answer button: “Hello?”
“Yang Jian, this is Liu Xiaoyu. A sudden Supernatural Event has occurred in Dachang City. We can basically confirm it’s a Supernatural Event here. Headquarters hopes you can go take a look!”
Liu Xiaoyu’s sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
“I’m busy, tell Zhao Kaiming to handle it!” Without thinking, Yang Jian flatly refused.
Are you kidding? He just got back from Huanggang Village, rested for less than a night, and now they want to rope him in as extra muscle? Did they really think Yang Jian was that easy to deal with?!
