Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

Yan Li, as a formal officer in the field operations department, may lack experience, but he is definitely not lacking in ability.

The card [Leopard Transformation] is activated, and Yan Li transforms into a leopard-man.

In a posture that ordinary humans could never do, he bends back, kicks his legs in the air, and rolls and spins in the air before landing.

The old man's mouth and nose gushed out like a fountain, and the spiritual pressure inside the room rose sharply.

The security guards, including Wu Kuan, were bleeding from their mouths and noses, unsteady on their feet, and those with weaker constitutions collapsed and convulsed.

Like a snake shedding its skin, a dark shadow shed the old man's wrinkled, age-covered skin, revealing its true form before Bai Miao.

The woman, in her seventies, was emaciated, with a kind and gentle face, but her belly was as large as a jar, which she held in both hands.

"This is a belly-hugging monster, with a spiritual energy level of around 25. Be careful of the ghost baby inside her."

According to Yujiang folklore, the "belly-holding old woman" often appears in the deep mountains, and her image is that of a strange old woman holding a huge belly with both hands.

The main source of the attack was the ghost infant she was carrying.

Bai Miao used his second spiritual technique, Summoning, to throw all the security guards out of the apartment.

Prolonged exposure to high-energy environments will cripple even an ordinary person, if not crippled.

Pan Lingzhen made a hand gesture indicating spiritual power, preparing to support Bai Miao.

"Why did the pregnant woman choose to possess the eldest son of the Liang family instead of the old lady and the daughter-in-law?"

Yan Li didn't understand, and neither did Bai Miao.

"Little brat, what do you know? When Yang declines, Yin reaches its extreme; when Yang declines, Yin reaches its extreme. How could you possibly understand the intricacies of this?"

The old woman's gloomy whispers were tinged with smugness.

Bai Miao's expression became more solemn. Even among demonic beasts, there are differences in strength.

Second-tier monsters like the Corpse-Rotting Ray and the Void-Walking Jellyfish have limited intelligence and strength.

The belly-hugging old woman, a monster with extremely high intelligence and the ability to speak human language, is several times more troublesome than the rotting bone stingray.

Pan Lingzhen gestured for Bai Miao to retreat, while Yan Li warily watched the pregnant woman's movements, waiting for Bai Miao to make a decision.

It's unclear when it started, but Pan Lingzhen and Yan Li had gotten used to following Bai Miao's lead without question.

"Extreme Yin is good, that's exactly what I want."

Bai Miao was worried about where to test the power of the Zhenmen coin, as the Zhen trigram in the Eight Trigrams belongs to thunder.

Yang thunder is most effective against evil spirits and ghosts.

"You ignorant brats, I'll rip out your hearts and use them as tonics for the children!"

The old woman, with a fierce and stern expression, caused two ghost infants to burst from her womb. After landing, they crawled towards Bai Miao, leaving behind a large patch of fine bloody handprints on the ground.

Ghost babies and demons from hell share some similarities; both are the purest aggregates of negative psychic energy.

Bai Miao flipped his wrist, clenched his right fist, and pressed the ancient copper coin against the second joint of his index finger with his thumb. The surface of the coin flickered with lightning.

Bai Miao turned the hole of the Zhenmen coin toward the two ghost infants and poured spiritual energy into it.

"Yang Lei, summon him!"

A blinding white light exploded from Bai Miao's fingertips, accompanied by thunderous roars. The unparalleled, yang-powerful lightning struck down upon the two ghost infants.

Under the lightning, the ghost infants showed extremely human-like fear, timidly huddling together, completely devoid of the ferocity they had when they were first born.

A pungent, acrid stench filled the air. The lightning dissipated, and the old woman holding the two ghost infants protectively in her arms.

A gash was blasted open in Bai Miao's back by Yang Lei, causing Bao Fu Po's spiritual energy to dissipate and making it almost impossible for her to maintain her form.

The old woman, holding the baby, weakly released the ghost infant and knelt before Bai Miao, like a kind old woman willing to give everything for her children and grandchildren.

She kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Brother, all of this is my fault, it has nothing to do with my two children. I have harmed many people, I deserve my punishment, brother, kill me, I will have no regrets."

"But these two children are innocent; they were harmed by this old woman."

"I only beg you to give these two children a chance, and not let their souls be scattered, leaving them no chance to be reincarnated."

The pregnant woman, her voice barely a whisper, told Bai Miao...

"I'm here because of an organization called the Summoning Society. If you follow this lead, you'll eventually be able to find them."

"I suppose this is my way of atoning for my sins."

The concept of reincarnation does exist in folk tales, and the monster "Potent Woman," who exists based on these folk tales, firmly believes in it.

"Okay, I understand." Upon receiving Bai Miao's response, the speed at which the spirit energy of the belly-embracing woman dissipated gradually increased.

The two ghostly infants sobbed softly and eerily, showing a deep affection for the womb-holding woman.

Just as the pregnant woman was about to disappear, the lightning suddenly magnified in his eyes, and the yang lightning struck down the two ghost infants with unerring accuracy.

"No!—You promised me!"

The old woman roared venomously, only to be met with another bolt of Yang thunder from Bai Miao.

"A level 25 psionic monster, just like that, completely dead?" Yan Li cautiously stepped forward to investigate.

Suddenly, Bai Miao let out a short shout, and Yan Li darted away as if his tail had been stepped on.

Seeing the mischievous expressions on Bai Miao's and Fen Yuan's faces, he realized that Bai Miao was teasing him.

"Brother Bai! People can really scare you to death. I'm really not easily frightened."

Yan Li was completely convinced by Bai Miao this time. A demon with a level 25 spiritual energy could be killed so easily. How could he not be convinced?

"By the way, Brother Bai, according to what that widow said, those two ghost babies were also pitiful beings. Why did you kill them both as well?"

"I think you need to be thoroughly investigated," Bai Miao said, rubbing his forehead. "With your abilities, how did you even get into the Secret Service?"

Yan Li scratched the back of his head and replied, "I'm a physical education student."

"Lingzhen, you explain it to him." Having an illiterate person in the team is really exhausting. Bai Miao assigned Yan Li a task: "From now on, during your physical training time, set aside one hour each day to cram on card master knowledge. Lingzhen will draft the content for you."

Yan Li's face fell, but he was still curious as to why Bai Miao killed the ghost infant, and he turned to Pan Lingzhen, demanding an explanation.

"The reason why a womb-holding woman can become a womb-holding woman is that she must transfer her closest relatives' blood and flesh into her own womb. Those two ghost infants were originally the children of the womb-holding woman's descendants, who were forcibly taken out and put into the womb-holding woman's womb."

"While it's true that the ghost infants were formed innocently, the two ghost infants have just as much blood on their hands as the womb-holding woman's mother, who grew up to level 25 in spiritual energy."

Pan Lingzhen felt no pity for the pregnant woman; such a cruel and immoral monster deserved to die.

To think that one could be a good person and allow a ghost baby to be reincarnated based solely on a few words spoken before death is utterly delusional.

"So that's how it is." Yan Li murmured. Indeed, people need to read more books, otherwise they won't even know they've been tricked by monsters.

"What are you all standing there for? Come over here and help help these security guards to their chairs."

Bai Miao beckoned to Yan Li, who immediately complied. He wasn't very bright, and if he didn't do more physical labor, he wouldn't even know how he had the face to stay in the Sixth Team.

Wu Kuan, who had been unconscious, slowly regained consciousness. In his hazy state, he saw a cat's paw waving in front of his eyes.

"Bai Miao, do you think he'll wake up today? If he doesn't, will we have to stay with him the whole time? But Fen Yuan is a little hungry and wants to eat..."

The cat is talking!

Wu Kuan almost suspected he was hallucinating. Before he fainted again, Bai Miao handed him a glass of water.

After learning the whole story, Wu Kuan was still shaken and thanked Bai Miao, saying:

"We owe this all to Captain Bai. If it weren't for your team, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Don't worry about the Summoning Society; our command office will investigate along the lines set by Old Madam Liang.

We will never allow them to endanger the safety of the citizens of Yujiang City.

The Summoning Society has long been capable of sending demons with a spiritual power level of 25 into Yujiang City without leaving a trace, which is quite an achievement.

This is not a trivial matter; the command center needs to take it seriously.
