Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Without the obstacle of the "ghost wall," Wang Mingyuan and his group entered Wangjia Village without any further hesitation.

Following the direction of the grey parrot's voice, they soon saw the enormous golden figure at the end of the village's main road.

Wang Hu was standing quietly in front of a courtyard, a small courtyard with gray-black tiled houses that are rare even in today's rural areas, exuding an old and decaying atmosphere.

"Hey, Four-Eyes, my Tiger Brother said that the little thing is hiding in that dilapidated house."

The grey parrot flapped its wings and circled around Wang Mingyuan, dutifully acting as a mouthpiece.

Upon receiving confirmation from Wang Hu, Wang Mingyuan instantly became serious.

He immediately turned to Zhao Lei and gave him the order.

"Xiao Zhao, immediately organize men to evacuate all the villagers!"

"Remember, be quick, but gentle, and do a good job of reassuring and explaining!"

"yes!"

Zhao Lei accepted the order and immediately led the members of the Stability Maintenance Office to take action.

The villagers who had just been intimidated by Wang Hu's imposing presence had mostly broken free from the little devil's control. Although they were still somewhat confused and fearful, they cooperated fully with the evacuation under the guidance of the stability maintenance office staff.

Suddenly, the whole village became noisy.

Wang Mingyuan, Gu Xing, and the others focused all their attention on the small courtyard with its tiled roof.

The gate to the courtyard was closed, but the stability maintenance office had drone pilots who quickly saw the situation inside the courtyard through the drones.

In the courtyard, two elderly people with gray hair were busy around something.

They were completely oblivious to the commotion outside, as if they had shut themselves off from all external influences.

Wang Mingyuan leaned closer to the screen to observe it carefully, and immediately saw what it was.

Even with his extensive experience, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

The two old people were wholeheartedly taking care of a dirty rag doll!

A moment later, the old lady shakily held the baby bottle, seemingly feeding the rag doll.

A little while later, the old man brought over a basin of water and carefully wiped the doll's body.

They wore kind smiles and moved gently, as if they were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

Just then, a faint baby laugh drifted out from the courtyard.

It was as if the soul of a baby truly lived inside that rag doll.

"Giggle...giggle..."

The laughter was crisp and childlike, which should have been innocent and pure, but in this situation, it made everyone who heard it feel extremely terrified.

Even though the sun overhead had dispelled the gloom after the rain, everyone still felt a chill.

"This...this is a ghost? It can control people's minds to such an extent!"

Gu Xing pushed up his glasses. He used to be a staunch materialist, but this supernatural scene completely overturned his understanding.

Zhang Shouzhou, Gu Xing, and the group of stability maintenance officers who remained also looked extremely grim.

They had seen extraordinary creatures before, but even the most powerful ones were just a little faster, stronger, thicker-skinned, and a little smarter and more cunning.

But what we saw was truly terrifying.

Is this something that humanity today can truly contend with?

Wang Mingyuan let out a long breath.

He was truly grateful that this extraordinary event had brought Wang Hu along as well.

If Wang Hu hadn't been there, Wang Mingyuan truly couldn't imagine what kind of mess this strange little devil would have made of them.

After all the other villagers had been evacuated, Wang Hu, who had been lying prone on the ground, finally slowly stood up.

He walked up to the courtyard and slapped the gate open, shattering the even denser yin energy that enveloped the courtyard entrance compared to the village entrance.

He broke through the ghost wall in the courtyard once again.

Wang Hu's golden tiger eyes calmly gazed at the ghost infant that slowly appeared in the center of the courtyard, visible only to him.

The ghostly infant was also looking at him, its eyes filled with intense venomous resentment.

Wang Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and spoke to Wang Hu's back.

"Big Cat, if you make a move later, please try your best to save the lives of those two old people."

He paused, then added.

"Of course, if things don't work out, we won't blame you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu paused in his step, which was about to take a step forward.

In fact, he saw far more than Wang Mingyuan and others.

In his eyes, wisps of black energy were beginning to condense on the foreheads of the two old men in the room.

This should be a sign that the body has been deeply invaded by ghostly energy.

In other words, they hadn't been in contact with this little devil for very long. If they had waited a few more days, the two old men would probably have exhausted their yang energy and died on the spot.

Moreover, even if I manage to rescue them, they will likely suffer a shortened lifespan if I don't remove the ghostly aura lingering on them.

After all, they are all elderly people whose bodies are already declining; even if they don't die, they will fall seriously ill.

However, he didn't say any of this out loud.

After all, they can't see anything, and it would be too troublesome for me to explain it to them.

Moreover, he felt he might have a way to remove the ghostly aura from the two old men.

Thinking this, he no longer hesitated and stepped into the small courtyard. At the same time, his huge body shook, and his golden fur seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.

He then let out a deafening tiger roar towards the courtyard!

"Awooo—!!!"

The tiger's might swept across the sky, like a tangible sonic wave, rolling into the courtyard!

Outside the courtyard, although Wang Mingyuan and the others did not directly face the tiger's roar, they still felt a gust of wind rushing towards them, making their clothes flutter and almost causing them to lose their balance.

"Thump!"

Inside the house, the two elderly people who were busy with the rag doll were stunned by the domineering tiger roar. Their bodies stiffened, and they collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

However, the rag doll they were holding in their arms floated up in a bizarre way.

In Wang Hu's eyes, the rag doll had now merged with the ghost infant.

"Wow--!!!"

A piercing, shrill cry suddenly rang in everyone's ears!

Unlike Wang Hu's majestic and powerful roar, this cry stirred up all sorts of dark and negative emotions deep within the hearts of all the members of the stability maintenance office present.

Frustration, anger, jealousy, resentment...

Suddenly, everyone seemed to find fault with each other, and some even unconsciously clenched their fists.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hu couldn't help but reveal a hint of interest in his eyes.

This brat, even under his own might, was able to launch a counterattack.

interesting.

This guy seems to be quite formidable, much stronger than that extraordinary crocodile from before.

Thinking this, his massive body suddenly swayed, almost turning into a golden afterimage, and in an instant rushed to the rag doll floating in mid-air.

A massive tiger claw, accompanied by a whooshing sound as it tore through the air, slammed down!
