Chapter 38 - The Ghost Slave Mark

Liu Xiaoyu had just planned to put down her work and return to her dormitory to rest when she received a call from Yang Jian.

She immediately took it very seriously.

Generally speaking, ghost tamers would not casually make calls on the satellite phone. When they did, there was a good chance that they had encountered a supernatural event or a ghost.

At such times, the task of the operator was very serious: to gather intelligence, organize files, and assess levels... it was a very important link in maintaining regional stability.

So even if she had just woken up, she had to rush to her post immediately when the phone rang.

Listening to Yang Jian's description.

Liu Xiaoyu called up the file on the ghost infant, Zhou Zheng, frowned, and showed a very serious look.

"You mean the ghost infant that came out of Zhou Zheng's stomach is growing... A few days ago, it was still in the form of a baby, and now it's a child, and it also has the trend of using the Ghost Realm?"

"Yes, that's the general situation. Moreover, a classmate of mine was left with two palm prints by the ghost infant, and then the ghost infant seems to have targeted her, and it wants to eat her wholeheartedly, just like being cursed by that knocking sound. Do you have any similar cases on your side? Have you thought of any solutions?" Yang Jian said.

"In the past supernatural files, there have indeed been cases where detectives have encountered similar situations. Most ghosts, if they have a clear purpose of killing, generally need to meet two conditions: one is a rigid triggering condition, and the other is the method of killing, just like the motive and method of a normal person committing murder."

"The triggering condition for the knocking ghost was the knocking sound, and the method of killing was the ghost knocking on the door. Of course, it does not exclude other methods of killing. The method of killing for the ghost infant should be... eating, killing a person by eating, and the triggering condition should be touching."

"I have analyzed some materials and concluded that the ghost infant will eat the person it has touched first, or if someone else touches it, it will also be the same. It is now staring at your classmate just because she has had contact with the ghost infant."

Yang Jian said, "I have not been in contact with the ghost infant before, but the ghost infant still attacked me."

In the school, he was the first to be attacked by the ghost.

"Most ghosts have the ability to kill indiscriminately. In the absence of triggering conditions, they will randomly attack people around them. The ghost infant left Zhou Zheng's body and saw you first, so it took you as prey. However, this has a spreading nature, and ghosts that are mobile and wandering are generally defined as Level B."

"Meeting a ghost does not mean that not meeting the requirements will be safe. It can only be said that understanding the ghost's rules can improve the survival rate." Liu Xiaoyu said.

Hearing this, Yang Jian's mouth twitched, and he now understood why Fang Jing in the school would desperately sacrifice others in exchange for his own survival.

"Regarding the mark on your classmate's hand, I think it might be a ghost slave mark." Liu Xiaoyu said.

Ghost slave mark?

Yang Jian said, "What is it? What's the difference from a ghost slave?"

"Every ghost that can use the Ghost Realm has an ability, that is, to turn dead people into ghost slaves. Ghost slaves have no reason, and they have no relationship with their appearance before their death. They are a different kind of ghost, so don't be confused by the appearance of the ghost slave before their death. Moreover, ghost slaves unconditionally obey the ghost master. You should have encountered it in school, but that knocking ghost's level is too high. The number of ghost slaves it can control is beyond your imagination. We have already defined it as Level A."

Level A, given a certain amount of time, is a ghost that can destroy the population of a city.

Yang Jian's heart chilled, and he realized that the knocking ghost was so terrifying.

"And the ghost slave mark is actually a mark of a fierce ghost, just like the trademark of a company is the same. Although your classmate is not dead, she is already a ghost slave in that Ghost Realm. She will be controlled as soon as she dies. The information I have for now is just this." Liu Xiaoyu said.

Yang Jian, hearing this on the other end of the phone, felt his heart sink: "So to speak, the ghost infant is not even fully grown and is planning to collect a beauty as a harem first? I thought it was a serious ghost, but I didn't expect it to be a little lecherous ghost."

"...As far as I know, ghosts have no desires. There is no beauty or ugliness in their eyes. Perhaps your classmate is a girl, and the ghost infant just crawled out of Zhou Zheng's stomach at that time. After failing to attack you, it chose to attack someone who looked weaker, that's all." Liu Xiaoyu said.

"Is there any way to eliminate that mark?" Yang Jian said.

Liu Xiaoyu said, "There is no way, but there is a plan that might be feasible. No one in the criminal police has tried it."

"Why?"

"The requirements are too high." Liu Xiaoyu said.

"What requirements?"

Liu Xiaoyu said, "The most basic requirement is that the ghost tamer can use the Ghost Realm. A professor speculated that if a ghost can have ghost slaves, then the ghost tamer should also be able to have ghost slaves. Use a ghost slave mark to replace the fierce ghost's, so as to let people get rid of the fierce ghost's pursuit."

"You're not talking nonsense, right? After all that, the mark is still on the body." Yang Jian said.

"It's different. The fierce ghost is dead, and the ghost tamer is a living person. Even if it becomes a ghost slave of the ghost tamer, it will not lose its reason and has an essential difference from the ghost slave... Of course, if you die from the revival of the fierce ghost, then the ghost slaves you had before will be taken over by the ghost in your body."

"..." Yang Jian's face turned black.

Ghost tamers are all short-lived people. In this way, isn't it just jumping from one fire pit to another?

Still going to die.

"I understand, let's talk next time." Yang Jian said.

"Wait, wait a minute." Liu Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly stopped him.

"What else is there?" Yang Jian said.

Liu Xiaoyu said, "I need to establish a file for you here, and I hope you can cooperate. It's best if you have some understanding of the ghost in your body, such as abilities, characteristics, form... If you don't cooperate, I won't cooperate with you next time."

"Okay."

Yang Jian thought about it and felt indifferent about it, so he mentioned the matter of the eyes.

After Liu Xiaoyu finished recording, she said, "Your mother has been arranged by us and has now entered a regular company. After a while, she will return to Dachang City from another place. You can rest assured about your side. By the way, how about your father's matter last time? Can you talk about it in detail?"

"Father? Didn't my father die when I was a child? Which thing are you talking about?" Yang Jian asked.

Liu Xiaoyu was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that your father was next to you in your rental house last time? I suspect it's a ghost and let you leave that place."

"That ghost is that ghost, what does my father have to do with it?" Yang Jian said, "Do you think that ghost is my father? Don't be ridiculous, okay."

"..." Liu Xiaoyu was not angry, but frowned.

From Yang Jian's tone, he didn't seem to be joking.

The only explanation is... his memory has been tampered with again.

A ghost that is suspected of being able to tamper with people's memories? The person himself cannot find out... even the ghost tamer is the same, but why haven't I changed?

Liu Xiaoyu quickly took notes, preparing to give this matter to the high IQ think tank for reasoning. This is not her job.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's do it. Talk next time." Yang Jian said.

"Ask you one more question, is your mental state okay recently?" Liu Xiaoyu asked suddenly.

"Okay, no problem." Yang Jian hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Wang Bin and Wang Haiyan in the car and said, "Did you hear that?"

"This is a call from an operator of the International Criminal Police Organization, the Asian branch. What she said represents the authority of various countries. In fact, countries have been involved in supernatural events for a long time, but they have been hiding it for fear of causing global panic and adding to the chaos. Now that you have been exposed to this matter, I will not avoid it, so that some people won't say I am a shaman or a madman."

The Wang family fell into deep silence.

Everyone's heart is not calm.

Yang Jian looked at Wang Shanshan again and suddenly, his expression solidified.

He saw that Wang Shanshan's wrist had an indistinct red mark on it, which looked like... an eye, but it was almost fading away.

"When did this happen?" Yang Jian grabbed Wang Shanshan's hand abruptly.

Wang Shanshan shrank back and whispered, "It was there after you grabbed my wrist at school."

This is the ghost slave mark!

Yang Jian was stunned, and he recalled.

He did save Wang Shanshan by grabbing her wrist at school.

Did it leave it at that time?

Understood, now Yang Jian understood.

Why Wang Shanshan was haunted by the ghost infant for several days without dying, it was because of his own mark... It's just that the ghost infant grew up and its power increased, so his own mark is about to disappear.

"This mark can save people and harm people." Yang Jian's face changed, falling into deep thought.

But not long after Yang Jian hung up the phone, the archives of the Asian branch added a file about him.

The first page of the file reads in big characters: Ghost Eye Detective... Yang Jian (Not Employed)
