Chapter 18: The Ghost Baby

  As the bathroom door in the wine building automatically opened without any external force, Jiang Qi's Tianyan on his forehead also flickered slightly and quickly closed.

  Jiang Qicai took advantage of the Tianyan's instantaneous insight to see that there was indeed an unusual wandering soul hiding in the second squat toilet. However, Jiang Qicai could only vaguely see that it was a baby's shape, but couldn't see what he looked like clearly.

  At this time, Nai Xue's slightly surprised voice also sounded in her mind: "Unidentifiable soul, the opponent's level should be at least above D-level!"

  Jiang Qicai didn't say a word, but his mind was communicating freely with Nie Xue, "D-level?" Although Jiang Qicai had been making a living by catching ghosts for so long, he wasn't actually very clear about the classification of wandering spirits.

  Ning Xue explained, "The lowest and most ordinary wandering soul with no abilities at all is F-class, followed by E, D, C, B, A, and S. Although your Heavenly Eye and my ability have merged into one, if the opponent's level is too high, we can't see their true form! For example, if a C, B, A, or S-class wandering soul is near us, we won't even notice it. With our current level, we can barely see the outline of a D-class, but it's not very clear!"

  Jiang Qicai's eyebrows furrowed deeply upon hearing this. "What if those high-level You Hun want to harm me? Wouldn't I be completely defenseless?"

  Ní Xuě let out a sigh, "That's how it is in theory!"

  Jiang Qicai thought for a moment and asked again, "If the level of a wandering soul is divided by resentment and ability, then were you just an E-level back then?"

  "Yes, but with your spiritual power's help, I've now broken through to D-level." After saying this, Ni Xue fell silent for a moment before continuing: "To be honest, I've already lost my soul body. Although in the end I can rely on your spiritual power to rise to C, B, A... or even S-level, I'm no longer able to freely roam like other wandering spirits!"

  Jiang Qicai didn't bat an eyelid, "Are you pretending to be pitiful?"

  Ni Xue was taken aback, then said in a pitiful tone: "I'm really pitiful!"

  Jiang Qicai quietly raised his middle finger at Nie Xue.

  Just as Jiang Qicai and Nie Xue were communicating with each other through their minds, the situation on this side of the scene had undergone a drastic change. Except for Jiang Qicai, who could barely maintain his consciousness clear with his extraordinary spiritual power, everyone else was affected by the ghost fetus in the toilet, causing severe hallucinations.

  At this moment, they only felt that they were not in the tavern, nor did they have any companions around them. They stood alone in a desolate and silent heap of weeds. A soft moonlight poured down from above, and several graves appeared vaguely in front of them. Several gray owls stared with their round, straight eyes on a tree, while some crickets sang loudly from who-knows-which clump of grass!

  At this time, Jiang Qi saw that everyone was standing in place, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily. Even Ding Xiaomao, the descendant of Maoshan, was not spared, with a completely lost and disheartened expression on his face.

  Jiang Qicai didn't know what had happened to them, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong. Jiang Qicai quietly walked up to Wang Shiyu and waved his five fingers in front of her eyes, but Wang Shiyu didn't react at all.

  Jiang Qicai had no choice but to activate the boundary function on the wheel of reincarnation, protecting himself and everyone else inside the corridor. However, whether this boundary would have any special effect on that unknown ghost infant, Jiang Qicai was not sure at all.

  Then something magical happened.

  As soon as Jiang Qicai's fingers pressed the button on the wheel of reincarnation, a red light suddenly descended from the sky, forming a semicircular canopy with Jiang Qicai at its center, protecting everyone inside.

  Outside the semicircular sky, there were several electric arc-like things that flashed by with a "zip" sound. At this time, Jiang Qi clearly felt that the ghost infant outside the boundary was slowly approaching this side. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing unexpected happened.

  It seems that this barrier-like seal indeed has some effect.

  But the good times didn't last long, and people who had just been hallucinating gradually woke up.

  Seeing a crowd of people rubbing shoulders and squeezing together, a middle-aged man is about to walk out of the boundary, wanting to take a breath of fresh air.

  Jiang Qicai was just about to pull him back and remind him not to go out when it was already too late!

  Next moment!

  As soon as he walked out, his head suddenly burst open like a fountain in front of everyone, and blood splattered everywhere. In an instant, the white flesh was scattered all over the ground, including Jiang Qicai, Wang Shiyu, Kong He, and Ding Xiaomao, who were all stunned.

  It was as if an invisible giant hand had plucked the heartstrings of everyone at this moment, a feeling of absolute terror and extreme disgust overwhelmed everyone's heart!

  But at this moment, the headless corpse had not fallen down yet, a "creaking" sound, like teeth biting on shattered meat and brittle bones, rang out immediately.

  That voice...

  Make everyone involuntarily associate with the scene where their teeth were very comfortable rubbing against the crispy bones of roast chicken when they ate at home.

  But that kind of comfort is especially nauseating in today's environment, making the hairs stand on end, scalp numb, and chest tight, as if unable to breathe.

  Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, staring at the broken and fragmented half skull slowly rising from the ground to mid-air, a thorough chill spreading like a plague to the deepest part of every person's heart.

  Among the people present, although not everyone is like Jiang Qicai who has to face those demons and ghosts every time, they are also not ordinary people who have never seen the world.

  On the contrary, many of them have personally experienced some terrifying and strange events, including Wang Shiyu himself who has had two encounters with ghosts.

  But including Jiang Qicai, no one would have witnessed with their own eyes how a person who was still alive and kicking just a moment before could be blown into a headless corpse in the blink of an eye, and after his death, his head suffered such an appalling fate.

  Looking at the blood vessels, eyeballs and white brain pulp in mid-air, it seemed as if they had been completely devoured by someone between blinks. At least two-thirds of the people completely collapsed.

  Whether it was a man or woman's scream, it was like the buzzing of flies, rising and falling in succession, echoing without end.

  Ding Xiaomao's hands trembled as he stared at the illusion that had just affected him, and then subconsciously looked down at the peach wood sword on the ground. His legs tried to move forward several times, but in the end, he remained standing still.

  Ding Xiaomao had no choice but to admit that at this moment his heart was filled with extreme fear.

  There was also Kong He, who always liked to play the fool, but at this moment he could only lick his dry lips, and on his face was a look of helpless despair.

  If it goes on like this, I'm afraid many people will become mentally split!

  Jiang Qicai clenched his fists tightly, his firm gaze sweeping across everyone's face one by one. Then, he quickly made a decision in his heart!
