Chapter 36 - Growing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

From the moment Wang Bin put down the phone until now, he felt as if every second was a year.

Because he had heard the sound of his front door opening and was also vaguely aware that something had walked into the living room from the front door as from time to time, the sounds of the decorations being moved could be heard from the living room.

It was as if a naughty child was playing curiously outside.

Every sound made Wang Bin’s heart jump.

Thinking that the child he had seen from the peephole was just in the living room, only a wall away, he felt an inexplicable fear.

He didn’t dare to open the door. He didn’t even dare to approach the door.

He was afraid that the child would appear at the door in the next moment.

However, what was bound to happen eventually had to be faced even by passively waiting.

As the activity in the living room stopped, it seemed that the child had gotten tired of the toys in the living room. Following this, the sound of faint footsteps gradually sounded and finally stopped at the door of the room.

“It’s coming. It’s about to come in. Dad, mom, Hurry up and leave. It’s here for me, I can feel it. Hurry up and leave…” Wang Shanshan’s emotions became agitated at this moment. She seemed to be able to sense the appearance of the ghost baby.

“Shanshan, what are you saying? How could mom leave you alone?” Wang Haiyan wiped away her tears and said, “Hubby, what’s out there? Worst comes to worst, we will fight it to the death.”

With these words, Wang Bin came to his senses. He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked around, then lifted the clothes rack, ready to fight. He would wait for the child to get in, then he would immediately smash it till it was smithereens and ashes.

“No, no, Dad, no. The criminal police officer had said that ghosts can’t be killed. Look for Yang Jian. Only Yang Jian has a way. Only he can save us,” Wang Shanshan said in fear. She wanted to stop Wang Bin’s actions.

However, Wang Haiyan hugged her from the side.

“I’ve already called Yang Jian and promised him 500,000 Yuan for him to save us. He should be on his way… Don’t worry, we’ll be fine,” Wang Bin said nervously.

However, at this moment, with a click, the door lock opened by itself.

The door handle slowly turned, and with a crisp creak, a crack was opened in the door.

Then, the crack grew bigger and bigger.

In the next moment, a child’s head popped in. Its pair of dark eyes without pupils sized up the people in the room with a strange evil look. Finally, its gaze stopped on Wang Shanshan.

“Ah!”

The screams of Wang Haiyan and Wang Shanshan could be heard from inside the room.

“Damn it, go to Hell,” As his responsibility as a husband and a father, Wang Bin mustered up all his courage and roared as he picked the clothes hanger up and threw it at the ghost baby.

However, the ghost baby simply ignored Wang Bin. It ran along the wall with an eerily terrifying speed and pounced directly on Wang Shanshan.

The ghost baby opened its mouth to an extent that exceeded the abilities of that of an ordinary person.

There wasn’t a mouth or oral cavity in the mouth. It was only a pitch-black, bottomless black hole, as if anything that had been swallowed would never be able to appear in this world ever again.

To think it wanted to swallow Wang Shanshan whole.

When Wang Bin saw this, he gritted his teeth in fear and anger.

Wang Shanshan and her mother, Wang Haiyan, huddled together in fear and screamed crazily.

However, at this moment, the light in the bedroom suddenly flashed and turned red. The light bulb seemed to have turned into a red eyeball, and a strange atmosphere filled the surroundings.

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, the ghost baby flew out and crashed heavily into the wardrobe.

Yang Jian walked over from a corner of the bedroom with a phone in his hand. His body was emitting red light while red eyeballs were on his face and the back of his hands. Each eyeball was slightly rotating as they stared at the ghost baby that flew out.

“You guys didn’t pick up your phones, so I thought you were already dead. I was even planning to report the case to the police and ask them to come and collect your bodies. The business at the crematorium must be very good recently. I wonder if you have to queue up,” Saying this, Yang Jian glanced at the ghost baby, and his heart trembled.

When they were at school, the ghost baby had still been crawling. Now, it had grown so big that it could walk independently.

The ghost was growing…

The words on the skin parchment were correct. The thing in Ghost Baby Zhou Zheng’s stomach was indeed very unusual. God knew what level this ghost would grow to be if given the chance to grow.

“Zhou Zheng, oh, Zhou Zheng, you have seriously released something extraordinary,” Yang Jian sighed in his heart.

“Yang, Yang Jian?” Hearing Yang Jian’s voice, Wang Shanshan immediately raised her head. The fear in her eyes immediately turned into surprise.

It was as if Yang Jian was her savior at this moment.

“You, you are Yang Jian? How did you come in?” Wang Bin asked in fear.

“If I can’t even enter the door, how would I dare to ask for 500,000 Yuan from you?” Yang Jian said “Don’t you understand the principle of you get what you pay for, Uncle Wang? This thing has already exceeded my previous estimation. Based on the current situation, I might not be able to deal with it, so… you have to pay me more.”

He was not joking.

Previously, he could have defeated this ghost baby with just four eyeballs.

But now, this thing could no longer be considered a ghost baby. It should be considered a ghost child.

As such, its terror level must have increased as well.

“It’s best not to exceed my limit of six eyeballs. Otherwise, I can only run,” He glanced at the few of them and was prepared to retreat at any moment.

They weren’t relatives nor were they best friends. He and Wang Shanshan were just classmates. Yang Jian would not just throw his life here to save others.

Wang Bin was also a smart person. Seeing Yang Jian’s hesitation, he hurriedly said, “One million, I’ll give you one million… After this is over, there will be another reward too.”

Yang Jian retracted his gaze and sighed, “Another hateful rich man. The price I asked for was too low previously.”

If the reward was one million, it was indeed worth taking a risk.

After all, the market price for such matters was just so low in the country.

Immediately, he set his eyes on the ghost baby again.

Since his ghost realm had already been opened, he couldn’t waste this opportunity.

At this moment, the ghost baby slowly stood up. It tilted its head and looked at Yang Jian with its pitch-black eyes. Its dark green skin gave off a scent of death.

The kick just now didn’t cause any damage to the ghost baby.

It was only repelled because Yang Jian had been in the ghost realm state just now.

Ghosts can not be killed.

Only ghosts can deal with ghosts.

These two sentences did not conflict.

To say that a ghost could deal with another ghost did not mean that the former could kill the latter.

“So did Zhou Zheng mean by those words that only a ghost could defeat another ghost?” Yang Jian’s gaze moved slightly. He had come into contact with several supernatural incidents by now and had gradually overcome the fear in his heart.

Perhaps it had something to do with him becoming half-human and half-ghost.

“I don’t know if something like you has intellect or if you can understand human language, but what I want to say is that I am determined to protect this family today. Can you give me some face and stop whatever you’re doing?” Yang Jian said.

However, before he could finish his words, a dark green aura suddenly surged out from the ghost baby’s body.

This aura gradually spread… … The surrounding things were beginning to be affected.

“This is… A ghost realm?” Yang Jian’s pupils abruptly constricted, and his heart trembled.

Damn it, it was learning and growing.

This ghost baby was definitely not simple.

“This ghost baby is evil. It’s best to send it away from here first,” Yang Jian’s expression changed slightly.

With this, the ghost baby suddenly missed its footing and it immediately passed through the ground as it fell downstairs.

Yang Jian took a step forward as well, and with a flash of the red light on his body, he disappeared in front of Wang Bin and the others.

The ghost realm followed the ghost baby all the way down.

16th floor… 13th floor.. … 9th floor.

Just on the last floor, Yang Jian withdrew the ghost realm.

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, the ghost baby fell directly from the 16th floor to the ground on the first floor. Its body was flattened as it lay on the ground in a strange position.

From upstairs, Yang Jian looked at the ghost baby that was lying on the ground motionlessly.

He knew that it wasn’t dead.

He looked at the time.

The time limit of his ghost realm was approaching.

“I should bring Wang Shanshan and her family out of here first. I’ll think of a way to deal with the things after that,” Yang Jian knew that he didn’t have enough experience in dealing with malicious ghosts, so he could only take the safest route.

He immediately disappeared on the spot.

Sometime after he left, the ghost baby that had been lying on the ground like a heap of meat slowly moved its strange body and finally stood up..
