Mysterious Revival

Nonsense.

Of course, I want to know.

Why would I ask you if I didn't want to know?

Yang Jian looked at Wang Xiaoming oddly, seemingly waiting for his answer.

"The Ghost Domain can remain as it is without any problems, right?" Wang Xiaoming didn't answer immediately but instead confirmed the current situation.

"There's no problem, but I won't be able to maintain it for too long," Yang Jian said.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Naturally, the use of the Ghost Domain consumes a lot of one's own energy. I'm well aware that ghosts capable of using the Ghost Domain aren't so easily suppressed, so in my eyes, you are special. If you hadn't killed my own brother, I think I might have liked you."

"I'm not into that, thank you," Yang Jian replied.

"You know what I mean," Wang Xiaoming said. "Let's continue with the earlier topic. What do you think a normal baby should do after being born?"

"I'm not an obstetrician; how would I know?" Yang Jian answered.

"After being born, the first thing a baby does is open its eyes to see the world clearly, and it's the same with Ghost Infants. That's why First Stage Ghost Infants will kill anyone they see. After seeing the world clearly, the next thing is physical contact, feeling the world further through the skin's touch. That leads to the Second Stage Ghost Infant, killing anyone it touches,"

"Perception isn't isolated; it's cumulative," Yang Jian pointed out.

Wang Xiaoming said, "When the born infant has seen and touched, what comes next?"

"Hearing?" Yang Jian frowned.

"That's right, hearing. Sound is the key, so I speculate that Third Stage Ghost Infants probably kill those whose voices they hear," Wang Xiaoming said. "But this is just a guess without any basis, and there's no evidence to directly prove this is the transformation of a Third Stage Ghost Infant."

"But what if your inference is true? What then about the unknown Fourth Stage Ghost Infant?" Yang Jian asked.

"Not clear, because the Third Stage is only a hypothesis. It's very unscientific to speculate based on a hypothesis. I won't do that, as incorrect information can easily mislead someone, leading a ghost controller into a wrong and deadly situation when facing fierce ghosts."

"Once a wrong choice is made, it leads to death. This isn't a game; there are no chances to start over, so I only make inferences up to the Third Stage."

"Unless it can be confirmed, I won't proceed with further guesses and research."

"Not seen, not touched, not heard," Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.

Combining the situation he faced with the Ghost Infant before, he was gradually becoming more convinced of Wang Xiaoming's conclusion.

Back at the school, after Zhou Zheng died, the Ghost Infant was born and first saw him, so it began to chase after him. Later, it chose to attack Wang Shanshan because of the presence of the ghost eye.

That was the so-called seeing.

After that, the Ghost Infant grew into a Ghost Child and began chasing Wang Shanshan, who had left handprints.

Why didn't it chase her from the beginning?

Just because at that time, Wang Shanshan hadn't fulfilled the second condition; the Ghost Infant hadn't grown into a Second Stage.

Once the Ghost Infant reached the Second Stage, Wang Shanshan started to be attacked.

As for the Third Stage, hearing.

This indeed couldn't be confirmed, as there was no personal confirmation.

However, combining the previous two situations, Yang Jian was seventy percent confident that Wang Xiaoming's deduction was correct, and the condition for the Third Stage was not hearing.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But if this were the case, dealing with a Third Stage Ghost Infant would be too difficult.

Must not see the Ghost Infant, mustn't touch the Ghost Infant, and mustn't let the Ghost Infant hear.

If that's the case, then this supernatural event is just like starting from an 'Easy' mode, evolving to 'Hard' mode, then to 'Hell' mode, and if there were to be a fourth stage, it would be 'Nightmare' mode.

If one doesn't cheat, there's basically no way to play.

Everyone would be doomed.

"So you're very important, Ye Feng can die, but you can't, if you die, Dachang City is really finished."

Wang Xiaoming said, "So I can share this research with you, but I will not disclose it to others, in my eyes, they are just cannon fodder, you are the key."

"Because my Ghost Domain simultaneously satisfies all the conditions to avoid being killed?" Yang Jian immediately understood the meaning of his words.

Hiding in the Ghost Domain, he would not be seen by the Ghost Infant outside, nor could it touch him, and he wouldn't make a sound to be heard.

It equals perfect restraint.

"Yes, you have the Ghost Domain, it's the only chance I can think of to turn the situation around," said Wang Xiaoming, "What pleases me more is that you managed to control the second ghost with your own methods. I don't know the capabilities of this ghost, but it can touch the Ghost Infant without any conditions.

This is a very important point."

"So, you have the conditions to detain the Ghost Infant, and what's lacking now is an opportunity, so I'll create this opportunity, and if necessary, sacrificing a few ghost manipulators is inconsequential."

"Does this mean I've become the savior of this city by sheer luck?" asked Yang Jian.

Wang Xiaoming said, "No, it's not luck, on the contrary, you're quite unlucky, just unlucky in a different way. Strictly speaking, I am the lucky one since I am the one being protected."

"Indeed," Yang Jian said.

At this moment, Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Wang Xiaoming again.

No wonder this guy was known as a national treasure-level researcher, even if abandoning Dachang City, they wouldn't give up on Wang Xiaoming.

His mind was indeed very sharp.

And this sharpness wasn't used to memorize things like pi or English vocabulary, nor was it used in business to make money, but to deduce the patterns of supernatural events.

Without direct contact with the Ghost Infant, through scattered information and research, he was able to summarize the Ghost Infant's habits.

Even those of a complex supernatural event with at least four variabilities.

If he had a brain like Wang Xiaoming, the supernatural events he encountered at the beginning would have been easily resolved.

"You've figured everything out, clear and simple, it would be a waste for you not to become a ghost manipulator," said Yang Jian.

"It would be a waste for me to become a ghost manipulator," Wang Xiaoming stated calmly.

Yang Jian laughed, "Indeed, ghost manipulators are short-lived, as an ordinary person you could live another fifty years, but as a ghost manipulator, you probably can survive only a few years at most."

"Where is the Ghost Infant now in Dachang City?" asked Wang Xiaoming, "Given the Ghost Infant's speed of movement, I believe it must be nearing its destination by now, right?"

Yang Jian glanced at the Ghost Domain.

At this moment, the map of Dachang City appeared inside the Ghost Domain. He had trapped the Ghost Infant in an illusion, and through this method, he discovered the location of the non-existent Seventh Street within Dachang City.

"It's walking around on the streets now, but it's roughly heading towards the Northern City District, that is, the place where Ye Feng and He Chuan disappeared," said Yang Jian.

"We'll have to wait and see," said Wang Xiaoming.
