Chapter 39 - Change of Target

"I think you both have a general understanding of the situation. Wang Shanshan's condition will continue to deteriorate. As an outsider, my suggestion would be that you two should... have another child," Yang Jian said.

The car stopped in a bustling part of the city. They all got out, sat on the nearby chairs, and discussed what had just happened.

"How can you say that?" Wang Haiyan was a bit annoyed and said, "Isn't there a way to remove that mark?"

"Both are almost the same. Remove the mark and replace it with another mark. The final result is the same," Yang Jian said, "My words may sound harsh, but they are the truth. Uncle Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Bin frowned, smoking a cigarette. As the head of the family, he was also at a loss and very distressed.

He knew what Yang Jian meant.

If the mark is not removed, the ghost infant will continue to follow Shanshan. If the mark is removed, it must be branded with another mark, and the final result cannot be changed. It can only delay for a while.

"Dad, mom, it's okay. I'm already not saved. Let me face the ghost infant alone. I can't drag you down because of my own affairs," Wang Shanshan said with tears.

She was no longer so scared after knowing the result.

As a mother, Wang Haiyan was heartbroken and tearful. The mother and daughter cried in front of passers-by.

"No, I can't watch my own daughter be tortured to death by that thing," Wang Bin threw away the cigarette and stood up as if he had made up his mind, "This classmate, if I agree to brand Shanshan with another mark, do you have a way?"

Yang Jian said, "There is a way, but the result will not be better than this. It's just delaying the time of death. There is an idiom, 'drinking poison to quench thirst,' which is almost the same meaning."

"If the mark is not erased, Shanshan probably won't live for more than three days, right?" Wang Bin said.

Yang Jian said, "No, she won't even live for a day. Wang Shanshan was not attacked before because the mark on her hand has not disappeared, and the ghost infant has not attacked her. But now that the mark has disappeared, it is estimated that the ghost infant will come again within an hour... maybe even faster."

"What if the mark is erased?" Wang Bin said.

Yang Jian said, "Living and dying with the Ghost Tamer. In the end, there should be a few months of life, and the situation will be a little better, but the result is still the same... And I'm not sure if there will be any other side effects."

"Even if it's poison, I have to take it now. Even if there's a glimmer of hope, I can't give up," Wang Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Classmate, I'd like to ask you to help with this. I'll pay you. How much do you ask for it?"

Yang Jian looked at Wang Shanshan and her mother Wang Haiyan crying and said, "This is not a supernatural event, nor is it a confrontation with a fierce ghost. There's not much risk... Seeing that Uncle Wang was so generous before, I'll give this one for free this time, but I can't guarantee what problems or changes Wang Shanshan will have afterwards."

"Thank you, that's enough. I'll take all the consequences, and even if Shanshan really has an accident in the future, I won't blame you," Wang Bin took a deep breath and said.

This determination and courage really have the temperament of a successful person, not like Wang Haiyan's fussiness, indecisiveness, and haggling.

"In that case, let's start now. I'm afraid the ghost infant is already on its way," Yang Jian said.

Wang Bin said, "Shanshan, come here."

Wang Shanshan looked up, her eyes swollen and tearful, looking at Wang Bin and Yang Jian.

"Wang Shanshan, if you have decided, just give me your hand," Yang Jian said.

"Come on, let's talk about the future later. First, get through this difficult situation," Wang Bin still looked worried. He didn't know whether today's decision was to harm his daughter or save her.

"Yang Jian, thank you," Wang Shanshan bit her lip and stretched out her hand.

She still wants to live and doesn't want to die, especially in the hands of such a terrifying thing.

"Classmates, besides, I've been paid," Yang Jian grabbed her wrist, just like when he was in school.

"Take off the bandage on your neck. I want to see the mark."

Wang Haiyan didn't say a word and carefully untied the bandage.

On the tender neck of the girl, the skin was broken and scarlet, smeared with medicine, but in the center of the wound, two dark blue small handprints were clearly visible.

Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly. He recalled the previous measures, grabbed Wang Shanshan's palm and cracked open, and an eye emerged.

The eye emitted a faint red light, which overflowed from the fingertips and began to invade Wang Shanshan's wrist.

Still the same position as last time.

With the invasion of the red light, Yang Jian saw the dark blue handprint on her neck gradually fading, fading... and began to fade away actively.

"It works, it really works," Wang Bin widened his eyes and witnessed such a magical scene.

Of course, it works.

Yang Jian felt the existence of the ghost eye in Wang Shanshan's body, as if an eye had been transferred to her body, but it was not quite the same... To be precise, it was a part of the fierce ghost's power that stayed on Wang Shanshan's body.

After a while.

The two dark blue handprints on Wang Shanshan's neck completely disappeared...

Seeing this.

Yang Jian let go.

He saw a clear ghost eye brand on Wang Shanshan's wrist, like a red-eyed tattoo, very eye-catching, and faintly emitting a faint red light.

"It's gone, it's really gone, the handprint is gone."

"Shanshan, how do you feel now, are you okay?"

Wang Bin and his wife got a little excited.

Wang Shanshan felt it and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong, I feel very good... It's also a bit strange, but I can't say it, in short, it's much better than before." She then took a deep look at the eyes next to her.

That look was very different from usual, but it was hard to say.

"That's great," Wang Haiyan hugged her excitedly.

Yang Jian also felt the changes in his body.

There was no big change, as if he had just had a round, and his body was a bit empty.

"Only those who can control the Ghost Realm are qualified to have ghost slaves. I just don't know what the difference is between the living's ghost slaves and the fierce ghost's ghost slaves. Wang Shanshan will definitely not be the same as a normal person, but this change can only be observed and discovered later," Yang Jian thought to himself.

And just as he erased the mark.

Not far from here, on a street, a child with cyan-black skin was running on the ground at a weird speed, quickly heading towards Wang Shanshan.

"Did you just see a strange child running over there?" Someone on the road saw this scene and asked in surprise.

His companion said, "What child, you're hallucinating."

But before the ghost infant ran far, it suddenly stopped.

The mark disappeared, and it lost a clear target.

If there is no preferred target, it will randomly select passers-by on this road and start indiscriminate killing.

"Damn, I ran into something."

At this time, a young man passing by accidentally bumped into the ghost infant and almost fell because he was playing with his phone.

But when he looked back, there was nothing.

However, when he turned around and continued to walk down the street, he was stunned.

A naked, cyan-black child with a strange look in his eyes was standing in front of him, tilting his head.

The young man looked at the ghost infant strangely, feeling that the child was a bit abnormal, possibly a vagrant, or maybe mentally unstable. He didn't want to mess with such a child, so he went around and continued walking.

But he didn't go far.

The ghost infant moved.

It turned around and did not continue in the direction of Wang Shanshan, but continued to follow the young man...

The horror continues, but it has changed to another person.
