A bizarre resurrection: I, Yang Jian, am bound by a contract with the school beauty!

Night falls.

The sky grew completely dark.

Night fell like a giant black curtain, enveloping the entire city of Jingjiang.

The temperature began to drop sharply.

The surrounding air grew increasingly cold and damp.

That kind of cold.

It's not low temperature in the physical sense, but a chill that can pierce to the bone.

Li Yao stood outside the gate of the residential compound, her gaze calm.

behind her.

They are fully armed special forces soldiers and paranormal investigators.

"Stay close to me," Li Yao said calmly.

She stepped into the old residential area called "Happiness Lane".

The environment inside the residential area appeared exceptionally dark.

Even though all the streetlights and corridor lights were already turned on.

The light seemed to have been swallowed up by something invisible, becoming dim and murky.

A thin layer of mist had somehow settled in the air.

The fog was heavy with moisture.

When it hits a person's face, it's sticky and has an indescribable fishy stench.

"Commander Li, should we split up and search separately?" a captain next to him asked in a low voice.

"No way," Li Yao said decisively.

Her voice was completely flat.

"You are no match for the ghost baby."

"If we act separately, we'll only become its nourishment."

"Everyone must stay by my side and never leave my side."

The captain's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that in the face of such bizarre S-level potential, the number of ordinary people was meaningless.

Li Yao was their only support.

The search has officially begun.

The group arrived at a room in the first building.

The door was pushed open.

This is the residence of an elderly woman living alone.

The room's furnishings were old and worn.

The air was filled with the distinctive smell of an old man, mixed with the musty smell of a place that never sees sunlight.

Some of the paint on the wall is peeling off.

Some salvaged scraps were piled up in the corner.

Everything seems normal.

Li Yao stood in the center of the living room.

She slowly closed her eyes.

The supernatural power within my body began to quietly circulate.

An invisible wave emanated from her and spread outwards.

She is perceiving.

Sensing whether there is any lingering eerie atmosphere in the room.

After a while.

Li Yao opened her eyes.

"No abnormalities found."

She turned and walked out of the room.

"Next."

The search was not fast, but it was extremely thorough.

One layer after another.

One building after another.

Until they arrived at the door of the room where the tragedy had occurred.

That is, the home of that pregnant woman, Ah Xiu.

Before you even get close, a pungent smell of blood hits you.

The door was ajar.

Li Yao stood outside the door, her steps faltering.

Her eyes instantly sharpened.

She sensed it.

An extremely strong supernatural fluctuation was lingering in this room.

Although nothing can be seen with the naked eye.

But that chilling, resentful aura, as if it wanted to devour the living, pierced the nerves of everyone present as if it were real.

"There's a ghost in this house."

Li Yao said coldly.

The team members behind him tensed up instantly and raised their weapons.

Although they knew that physical weapons were useless against ghosts, it was an instinctive reaction.

"Everyone step back."

"Leave the stairwell."

Li Yao issued the order.

Without hesitation, the team members retreated like a tide, all the way down to the open space below.

Li Yao was the only one left in the hallway.

She looked at the slightly ajar security door in front of her.

next moment.

The supernatural power within her erupted without reservation.

Ghost Realm, open!

A faint black light emanated from Li Yao's body.

It instantly pierced through the wall, completely enveloping the entire room.

In this black light, everything seemed to lose its original color.

It turned into pure black and white.

This is the power of rules.

Within the Ghost Realm, Li Yao is the absolute ruler.

The scene in the room was clearly presented in her perception.

Blood was everywhere, and there were mutilated corpses.

as well as……

Several faint, distorted phantoms.

Those were the souls of the dead who were killed by the ghost infant, their resentment lingering, and were transforming into evil spirits.

"Since you're already dead, don't stay here and harm others."

Li Yao's voice was cold and ruthless.

She raised her hand.

The power of the ghost realm instantly contracted.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon those illusory figures.

There were no screams.

There was no room for resistance.

Those few ghostly figures that had just taken shape and were not even fully conscious.

Under this absolute supernatural suppression.

Like fragile glass, it shattered inch by inch.

In the end, it turned into wisps of black smoke and completely dissipated into the air.

The chilly atmosphere in the room vanished instantly.

The intense sense of crisis was also completely erased.

The team members downstairs felt that the oppressive atmosphere had disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good!"

"That suffocating feeling is gone!"

"Commander Li is too good!"

"As expected of a top-tier ghost tamer sent from headquarters, they resolved it so quickly!"

Everyone whispered among themselves, their faces showing relief at surviving the ordeal.

In their view, the monsters had been slain, and the crisis facing the Great Xia Dynasty was over.

however.

When Li Yao walked out of the stairwell.

Her expression, however, did not soften in the slightest.

It was still frighteningly cold.

She ignored the crowd's relief.

Instead, he walked straight out of the community gate.

"Everyone, listen to my command!"

Li Yao's voice echoed in the night sky.

"Now, immediately move to the quarantine area where residents of the community are concentrated."

"Rescreen!"

These words stunned the entire audience.

The captain paused for a moment, then stepped forward with a puzzled look on his face.

"Commander Li, what's wrong?"

"Haven't you already dealt with the ghosts inside?"

"Why bother screening people who have already been confirmed as safe?"

Li Yao stopped and looked back at him.

That look was like he was looking at an idiot.

"Who told you I dealt with ghost babies?"

The captain opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

Li Yao coldly explained, "If a person killed by a ghost harbors enough resentment or is corrupted by supernatural forces, they will become a new ghost."

"I just killed the ghosts of that family of five."

"The real ghost baby wasn't even in that room."

The captain gasped.

"Then...where did it go?"

Li Yao's gaze drifted to the brightly lit quarantine area in the distance.

"It's still there."

"I am certain that the consciousness of that ghost infant has not been transferred."

"Why?" the captain asked, puzzled.

Li Yao's voice was deep and resolute.

"Because of the rules."

"If the consciousness of a starving ghost has moved to another place."

"So, what was its original vessel here?"

"That is, the physical ghost baby that crawled out of the pregnant woman's belly will lose its dominant consciousness."

"A vessel that has lost its dominant consciousness will not move."

"It will only follow the killing patterns of vengeful ghosts, stay in place, and carry out indiscriminate killing based on instinct."

"But there was nothing in that room except those five corpses."

"This means that the carrier was hidden along with the consciousness."

"And the most likely place for it to hide is among the living."

"It's looking for the next... hotbed for hatching."
