Chapter 39: Target Change
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
âI believe both of you have a general understanding of the situation, yes? Wang Shanshanâs situation will be getting worse, so as an outsider, my suggestion will be that it would be best if you⊠gave birth to another child,â Yang Jian said.
The car was stopped at a busy area in the city.
The few of them had gotten out of the car and were now sitting on the bench at the side of the road to discuss what had happened.
âYou⊠How can you say that?â Wang Haiyan took offense and said, âIsnât there a way to get rid of the seal?â
âThe two are almost the same. If you get rid of the seal by replacing it with another one, the final result will still be the same,â Yang Jian said. âAlthough my words are a little harsh, they are the truth. Uncle Wang, what do you think?â
Wang Bin frowned as he smoked. As the head of the family, he had no clue what to do at the moment. He was very frustrated and worried.
He knew what Yang Jian meant.
If the seal was not removed, the ghost baby would follow Shanshan forever. If the seal was to be removed, another seal would have to be added. The result would remain the same, and it could at most be delayed for a short while.
âDad, mom, itâs okay. Thereâs no hope for me. Let me face the ghost baby alone. I canât drag you guys down because of my matters,â said Wang Shanshan with tears in her eyes.

Upon learning that this was her end, she was no longer so afraid.
As a mother, Wang Haiyan was heartbroken when she heard these words. Tears kept flowing down her face. The mother and daughter hugged and cried in front of the passers-by.
âNo, this canât do. How can I watch my daughter being tortured to death by that thing?â Wang Bin threw the cigarette away. He stood up and seemed to have made up his mind as he said, âYang Jian, if I agree to add another seal on Shanshan, do you have any ways to do it?â
Yang Jian said, âI do have a way, but the result wonât be better than this. Itâll just delay the time of death. Whatâs the idiom? To quench a thirst with poison. Thatâs more or less what doing this will amount to.â
âIf that seal is not removed, Shanshan will not live more than three days, right?â Wang Bin said.
Yang Jian said, âNo, she wonât live more than even a day. Previously, Wang Shanshan was not attacked because the seal in her hand had not disappeared, so the ghost baby had not attacked her. But now that the seal in her hand has disappeared, the ghost baby will probably come back in an hour⊠⊠maybe even sooner.â
âWhat if the ghostâs seal is erased?âWang bin asked.
Yang Jian said, âShe will live if the ghost rider lives, and die if the ghost rider dies. By estimation, she will probably have a few months to live, which might make the situation seem better, but the result will still be the same⊠Plus, Iâm not sure if there will be other side effects.â
âAt this point, even if itâs poison, we have to take it. We canât give up even the slightest chance,â Wang Bin clenched his jaw and said, âYang Jian, I would like you to do this for me. I will pay for it. How much do you want?â
Yang Jian looked at how Wang Shanshan and her mother, Wang Haiyan, were hugging and crying, and said, âThis is not a supernatural incident, nor is it a fight with a malicious ghost. There isnât much risk⊠Seeing that Uncle Wang had been so frank before, I will do it for you for free this time. However, I canât guarantee anything if anything happens to Wang Shanshan after this.â
âThank you. Thatâs enough. I will be responsible for all the consequences. Even if something happens to Shanshan in the future, I wonât blame you,â Wang Bin took a deep breath and said.
Such decisiveness and boldness were indeed the temperaments of a successful person, unlike Wang Haiyan who was fussy, indecisive, and calculative.
âIn that case, letâs start now. Iâm afraid that the ghost baby is already on its way here,â Yang Jian said.
Wang Bin said, âShanshan, come here.â
Wang Shanshan raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked at Wang Bin and Yang Jian with tears on her face.
âWang Shanshan, if youâve decided, then give me your hand,â Yang Jian said.
âGo. Weâll talk about the future when it comes. Letâs get through this obstacle first,â Wang Bin still had a worried look on his face. He did not know whether his decision today would harm his daughter or save her.
âYang Jian, thank you,â Wang Shanshan bit her lips and reached out her hand.
She still wanted to live and not die, especially not in the hands of such a terrifying thing.
âWeâre classmates. Besides, I received the money,â Yang Jian grabbed her wrist, just like in school, âGet rid of the bandage on your neck. I want to see the seal.â
Wang Haiyan didnât say a word and carefully untied the bandage.
The skin on the young girlâs delicate neck was torn, scarlet red, and smeared with medicine. In the middle of the wound, two small dark green handprints could be clearly seen.
Yang Jianâs gaze moved slightly. He recalled his previous actions and grabbed Wang Shanshanâs palm. His palm split open and an eyeball popped out.
The eyeball emitted a faint red light. The red light seeped out from between his fingers and started to penetrate Wang Shanshanâs wrist.
He chose the same spot for the red eyeball to penetrate as last time.
As the red light went into Wang Shanshanâs wrist, Yang Jian saw the dark green handprints on her neck gradually fade and become fainter⊠⊠Until it began to fade on its own.
âIt, itâs useful,â Wang Binâs eyes widened as he witnessed such a magical scene with his own eyes.
Of course it was useful.
Yang Jian could feel that there was the existence of the ghost eyeball in Wang Shanshanâs body. It was as if an eyeball had been transferred into her body, but it did not seem that way either⊠To be exact, a part of the ghost power had been transferred and stored in Wang Shanshanâs body.
After a moment, the two dark green handprints on Wang Shanshanâs neck had completely disappearedâŠ
Seeing this, Yang Jian finally let go of his hand.
He saw a clear ghost eyeball seal on Wang Shanshanâs wrist. It was like a tattoo of a red eyeball. It was especially eye-catching as it emitted a faint red light.
âItâs gone. Itâs really gone. The handprints have disappeared.â
âShanshan, how do you feel now? Are you alright?â
Wang Bin and his wife were a little excited.
Wang Shanshan felt the changes in her body for a while and said, âThere doesnât seem to be anything wrong. I feel very good⊠and a little strange, but I canât tell. In any case, I feel much better than before.â
As she said that, she looked deeply into the eyes next to her.
Her gaze was very different from usual, but one couldnât tell exactly how.
âThatâs great,â Wang Haiyan hugged her excitedly.
Yang Jian also felt a change in his body.
It wasnât a big change. He just felt a little weak like he had just had sex.
âOnly people who can control the ghost realm are qualified to have ghost slaves. Though, I wonder whatâs the difference between being the ghost slave of a living human to that of a malicious ghost. Itâs almost certain that Wang Shanshan will not be like a normal person. Itâs just that this change can only be discovered through observation in the future,â Yang Jian thought to himself.
While he was removing the seal, on a street not far away from here, a dark green child was running at a strange speed on the ground, quickly rushing toward Wang Shanshan.
âDid you see a strange child running over there just now?â Someone on the road asked in surprise when he saw this scene.
His companion said, âWhat child? Are you seeing things?â
However, before the ghost baby had run far from them, it suddenly stopped.
The seal had disappeared, thus it has lost its target.
If it didnât have a first-choice target, it would randomly choose passersby on this road to start killing indiscriminately.
âF*ck, I bumped into something,â At this moment, a young man who was passing by accidentally bumped into the ghost baby as he was playing with his phone. He almost fell down.
However, when he turned around to look, there was nothing.
Then, when he turned back round to continue shopping, he was instantly stunned.
A naked, dark green child was standing in front of him with its head tilted as it looked at him with a strange expression.
The young man looked at the ghost baby with a strange expression and felt that there was something wrong with the child. Perhaps it was a street child or perhaps it was crazy. He did not want to provoke such a child, so he went around it and continued to walk forward.
However, before he could leave far away, the ghost baby moved.
It turned around and did not continue in the direction of Wang Shanshan. Instead, it followed the young man that had just bumped into itâŠ
The horror was continuing, it was only that its target had changedâŠ
