Chapter 1362 - 1329: Growing Once Again

“Get some rest and don’t overthink. The incident in Baishui Town is over, and I’ll handle the rest. The Ghost Child will stay with me for the next few days. I’ll see if I can find a way to help the Ghost Child grow further; it can no longer play a crucial role as it is now.”

Yang Jian returned to Dachang City and safely escorted Wang Shanshan to Guanjiang Residential Complex.

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble this time,” Wang Shanshan apologized again.

Yang Jian said, “It’s okay. The supernatural incidents I handle come with plenty of risks. This one is no different. I’m leaving.”

Without lingering, he turned to leave with the Ghost Child.

After leaving, Yang Jian did not rest but headed to the safe house at Guanjiang Residential Complex One.

This safe house is where Yang Jian usually stores supernatural artifacts and imprisons malevolent spirits; no one else comes here.

“Although there weren’t any benefits from Baishui Town, the experience taught me about my shortcomings, especially the growth of the Ghost Child, which opened my eyes. We can no longer suppress the Ghost Child’s growth; consuming the next powerful spirit is imperative.”

Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly, focusing on the row of gold boxes placed inside the safe house.

Each box labeled with tags describing characteristics of some malevolent spirits.

The most special one among these boxes is particularly large, sealed for a long time, with only three words written on its label: Door Knocking Ghost.

Back then, Yang Jian personally imprisoned the Door Knocking Ghost and hacked off one of its arms with a Firewood Knife, dismembering part of its supernatural nature for Li Yang to inherit. Despite that, the Door Knocking Ghost still harbors fearsome supernatural powers.

“Who knows how much supernatural power the Door Knocking Ghost still possesses; feeding it to the Ghost Child is not a prudent choice.”

Yang Jian pondered briefly, then glanced at other boxes’ tags, finding no suitable malevolent spirit.

It’s also his fault; he rarely imprisoned malevolent spirits after dealing with supernatural incidents, resulting in a lack of suitable options.

“Does the headquarters have any suitable malevolent spirits?” He considered the idea of retrieving from headquarters.

Yang Jian now serves as the Enforcement Captain, giving him the authority to access malevolent spirits imprisoned by headquarters, without needing anyone’s consent.

In fact, headquarters has a substantial number of imprisoned spirits, and you’d surely find one suitable for the Ghost Child’s supernatural power control.

However, something suddenly crossed Yang Jian’s mind—a certain supernatural power perfect for the current Ghost Child.

But that spirit is not in anyone’s hands, as it hasn’t been imprisoned, still forming an A-level supernatural incident known as: Silent.

“I remember there was residual water at the site of the Silent supernatural incident. Whenever I wish, I can reach there,” Yang Jian recalled the experience.

After a short contemplation, Yang Jian decided to address the Silent supernatural incident, and the malevolent spirit should be fed to the Ghost Child.

“Put this on before departure.”

Suddenly, Yang Jian grabbed a small box from the shelf inside the safe house, opened it to reveal an old pair of red embroidered shoes.

The embroidered shoes appear tiny, reminiscent of the ancient three-inch golden lilies, yet as soon he opened it, the old embroidered shoes seemingly tried to escape from the box.

“With clothes, they need shoes too. This way, even without a Ghost Domain, movement capacity increases.”

Yang Jian extended his charred Ghost Hand, picked up the embroidered shoes, and tossed them in front of the Ghost Child, ordering it to wear them.

The Ghost Child accepted the command and immediately put the embroidered shoes on its bruised-looking feet.

The eerie embroidered shoes fit perfectly, as if tailor-made.

Yang Jian looked keenly at the Ghost Child’s reactions upon wearing the embroidered shoes, recalling their eerie ability: silent walking, floating above ground, leaving no footprints—the most unique aspect is the ability to freely enter and exit a malevolent spirit’s Ghost Domain, even a Ghost Envoy’s domain.

It is estimated conservatively that wearing these embroidered shoes should bypass the influence of five layers of Ghost Domain. The ultimate limit remains unknown, requiring the Ghost Child itself to test.

After a moment of observation, Yang Jian confirmed that the embroidered shoes temporarily had no adverse effect on the Ghost Child. Whether prolonged wear would have other reactions is uncertain, but currently, the Ghost Child moves more eerily, able to traverse and wander freely.

“Let’s go.”

Yang Jian quickly set off again, taking the Ghost Child away from the safe house, returning home.

Within the swimming pool upstairs at home lies a connection to various parts of Ghost Lake, a point for entering or exiting. When Yang Jian and the Ghost Child swiftly submerged into the pool, they soon disappeared from Dachang City.

Their reappearance was in a quiet small county.

This county lacks the dangers of Baishui Town; however, due to the supernatural incident here, it had to be sealed, and previously, both Yang Jian and Cao Yang couldn’t imprison this malevolent spirit. Now, it requires utilizing the Ghost Child’s Hungry Ghost-like supernatural capability.

Otherwise, Yang Jian alone wouldn’t be able to achieve it.

“Ghost, come out,” Yang Jian calmly said.

This is the killing rule of Silent; one must not utter the word ‘ghost.’ Once said, a real ghost will appear to attack.

As his words echoed, shortly thereafter,

In broad daylight, a cold aura emerged, eventually revealing an eerie little girl, standing mysteriously on the nearby street, devoid of facial features, marking Yang Jian as her target.

However, before the spirit could act,

A crack appeared as a long spear shot through the air, piercing the eerie little girl completely.

The fierce ghost was nailed in place, unable to move.

However, the supernatural presence in this county town did not disappear. As soon as Yang Jian uttered another ‘ghost’ word, other ghosts would appear to attack him.

This was an idealistic fierce ghost that ghost tamers couldn’t resist; only things of the same idealistic nature could counter it.

“Eat it.”

Yang Jian, expressionless, instructed the ghost child to devour the fierce ghost nailed by the coffin nail.

Very quickly.

The ghost child complied, and without any suspense, under the suppression of the coffin nail, the fierce ghost was swallowed alive by the ghost child.

The highly raised belly signified that the ghost child was now full.

But very soon.

The bulging belly rapidly flattened, and simultaneously, the ghost child’s body began to turn blurry and transparent.

A new supernatural influence affected the ghost child, causing it to undergo a new transformation.

But this behavior seemed to anger the fierce ghost here.

The next moment.

On the silent town, shadows of many eerie little girls emerged, their numbers reaching an unimaginable level.

“The real confrontation with the supernatural is now beginning.” Yang Jian glanced, taking a step back, as the Ghost Domain expanded, directly leaving this small town.

He left the stage to the ghost child.

At this moment, only the ghost child, who shares the same idealistic supernatural nature and possesses the characteristics of the hungry ghost, could suppress this fierce ghost.

As Yang Jian leaves.

The next moment.

The place where the ghost child was soon got overwhelmed by the numerous eerie little girls, and from the very start, the ghost child was at an absolute disadvantage.

However, Yang Jian was not anxious, casually sitting down, then picking up a bottle of Coke he had casually brought from the county town and opened it to drink.

“With the protection of the ghost shroud, the fierce ghost cannot kill the ghost child. Even though the ghost child now occupies little of the idealistic supernatural, this bit of the supernatural allows the ghost child to qualify to harm the fierce ghost. Coupled with the characteristics of the hungry ghost, at most in half an hour, this supernatural event will be settled.”

Yang Jian drank his Coke, estimating the progress in his mind.

In fact, the process was as he had anticipated.

The ghost child engulfed by numerous eerie little girls did not die. It opened its pitch-black mouth, like an abyss, devouring the second ghost nearby, and after the second ghost was swallowed, a second ghost child appeared nearby. Then, the two ghost children continued to eat ghosts, and their number increased to four…..

In just a moment, the situation had reversed, with the number of ghost children evolving from one at the start to a group, turning from an absolute disadvantage initially to parity, and finally to an overwhelming advantage.

The supernatural in the county town dissipated quickly and silently.

However, the dissipating fierce ghost wasn’t truly dead; it transformed into a new ghost child.

With a can of Coke finished.

Yang Jian casually tossed the bottle into a nearby trash bin and then stood up: “It’s over, we can go back now.”

He wasn’t interested in the outcome of this supernatural confrontation.

The result was already determined, so he didn’t want to stay here any longer and turned to leave.

Returning once again to Dachang City, Yang Jian felt that the ghost child’s growth at this stage could stop here. It shouldn’t be fed any further, or it might get out of control, leading to problems easily.

Calculating the time.

The supernatural confrontation should have ended, so Yang Jian decided to test whether the ghost child had really met his expectations.

He casually shouted: “Ghost child, come out.”

The ghost child, which had become an idealistic presence, indeed appeared out of thin air nearby at this moment. It wore a ghost shroud, and beneath it was a pair of embroidered shoes, still as eerie and cold as before, but covered with several bruises, traces left by controlling the new supernatural.

“Indeed, it succeeded.”

Yang Jian called out to the ghost child a few more times, and the number of ghost children appearing nearby increased again.

“The accumulation of numbers, coupled with the ghost child’s ghost call, deadly supernatural attacks layered upon each other, making it possible for it to kill a captain-level ghost tamer with just a word. Combined with the idealistic presence, unable to be dealt with, as well as the protection of the ghost shroud, the ghost child now is exceptionally dangerous.”

Yang Jian drew all this inspiration from his supernatural experience three years ago in Baishui Town.

The ghost tamers from the Republic of China period were each so terrifying for a very crucial reason: those old things knew how to use the supernatural to stack supernatural attacks, elevating already terrifying supernatural attacks to an unimaginably high degree.

And now, the ghost child possessed this trait as well.
