When the man heard this, he froze in his place as if struck by lightning. After a moment, he seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped heavily in his chair.

Doctor Jiang Hua tried to keep himself calm and said word by word: "In fact, in the mother's womb, it is not a warm picture of a loving mother and a filial child. The mother will always feel hungry during pregnancy and needs to eat a lot to supplement the nutrition needed by mother and child. In this process, the child is actually taking away nutrition, and most of the nutrition supplemented by the mother will be absorbed by the fetus. But this situation is limited, and a relatively balanced state will be formed between the child and the mother. However..."

However, your wife's situation is completely different. The fetus in her belly is showing abnormal greed. The sudden appearance of signs of premature birth is because the mother's body has reached its limit. In other words, if this operation had not been performed in time, your wife might have been killed by the fetus in her belly..."

This news was an unbearable blow to any man. The man stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty: "When did this situation start?"

Doctor Jiang Hua looked through some documents and replied, "The speed of the fetus's backlash is very fast. Judging from this speed, this result will occur in two days at most. According to the hospital records, you were admitted to the hospital two days ago. The original intention was to better protect the fetus, but unexpectedly this decision saved your wife's life. Otherwise, the final result would only be that your wife would be killed by the fetus, and the fetus would become stillborn due to the loss of its source of nutrition."

The man tried hard to control his emotions, but his trembling body betrayed his inner depression and pain. He found it hard to accept that his own flesh and blood would want to kill his mother.

Doctor Jiang Hua's expression was also quite complicated. It was obvious that he had something else to tell the man. After the man staggered out of the office, Doctor Jiang Hua secretly came to the conference room on the top floor of the hospital.

At this time, several doctors had gathered in the conference room. They were all authoritative experts in the field of pregnancy and childbirth. Normally, it would be worthwhile for the hospital to have such a lineup. However, this gathering was held in secret, and everyone's face was filled with mixed emotions.

Jiang Hua walked into the conference room, looked at the doctors present and said, "Dear colleagues, this kind of thing also happened in our hospital today..."

"Doctor Jiang, are you saying that your hospital also has those strange dead babies?" a doctor asked in surprise.

Jiang Hua nodded heavily: "In the operation I just performed, we only saved the adult's life. During the caesarean section, we found that the baby had already died in the mother's womb. But what is puzzling is that after death, it is still absorbing a lot of nutrition from the mother. Even its underdeveloped hands scratched shocking wounds in the mother's womb. According to the autopsy report, the baby has been dead for more than 24 hours. And the last time we examined the pregnant woman was five hours ago. Logically, we should have been able to find out that the baby was dead through the examination. But the results showed that the baby was fine. If it hadn't been for the caesarean section, we probably wouldn't have discovered that the fetus was dead."

After saying this, Dr. Jiang Hua's face showed fear and uneasiness. As an authoritative expert, she could not give a reasonable explanation for this strange phenomenon.

At this time, Dr. Li, who also enjoys an authoritative position in the field of pregnancy and childbirth, spoke up: "This is the fourth case that has occurred recently. In terms of time, our hospital was the first to encounter such a strange situation. Similar to the situation you encountered today, there are also several unsolved doubts in this matter. First, how did the dead baby continue to devour the mother's nutrition? Second, why can't our medical methods detect the true situation of this baby? Third, what is the root cause of this strange phenomenon..."

Dr. Li’s words expressed the confusion of all the experts present, which was also the real reason why they gathered here.

About a week ago, such a strange thing happened at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital on Donghua Road. But the situation was not optimistic at the time, and even the pregnant woman was not spared. The family members therefore believed that it was a medical accident, which led to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital on Donghua Road undergoing several days of review. However, in the past few days, a similar strange thing happened at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital on Xicheng Road. Although the pregnant woman saved her life, the child was stillborn and had been dead for more than 24 hours.

The frequent occurrence of such incidents has attracted great attention from experts. In order to maintain the city's image and not want the incident to have a wider impact, the local authorities have implemented a strict blockade. Citizens outside the city know almost nothing about this, but this does not make experts relax their vigilance.

"In today's meeting, we will discuss in depth the causes of these infant deaths in various maternity hospitals. We must find the answers to prevent similar incidents from happening again..."

In the top-floor conference room of this obstetrics and gynecology hospital, a secret discussion among authoritative experts is quietly taking place. They are committed to uncovering the truth of a series of bizarre events.

At the same time, the director personally stepped in and tried his best to comfort the grief of the pregnant woman's family. For obstetrics and gynecology hospitals, it is not uncommon for a child to fail to be saved, but each time it is like hovering on the edge of death, and being able to save the mother is a blessing. However, this does not mean that this matter can be easily forgotten. The child is about to be born, but suddenly dies. Such a blow is unbearable for anyone.

The pregnant woman was placed in another ward, and her family members sat around her in silence. They knew that when the pregnant woman woke up, they would be faced with the difficult task of explaining this cruel reality. This night seemed particularly long for the hospital and for this unfortunate family.

After getting the pregnant woman's husband's signature and consent, the experts gathered in the operating room and the baby's body was sent to the city bureau's autopsy department for a detailed examination. When the baby was placed on the operating table, everyone's eyes widened in shock. The baby was only a few hours old, but his body was already covered with corpse spots, and it seemed that he had been dead for more than 24 hours.

The baby was in good condition, close to the normal delivery period, and almost fully grown. The autopsy personnel began to conduct a preliminary examination of the dead baby and soon discovered a puzzling phenomenon: there was an obvious wound under the baby's neck, which was obviously caused by some sharp weapon.

Doctor Jiang Hua immediately pointed out: "This wound was already there when we took the baby out, but it is really hard to explain. The baby was still in the mother's womb, how could it have such a scar?"

This question remains unresolved for the time being, and the autopsy is still being conducted in secret.

That night, a new pregnant woman was admitted to the empty ward that was used for surgery. In view of the strange baby death incident that had occurred before, the hospital conducted a comprehensive and detailed examination on the new pregnant woman. The pregnant woman's family expressed great gratitude for this and believed that the hospital was really conscientious and responsible.

The doctors read the examination reports again and again, and every result showed that the fetus was in good condition. However, the strings in their hearts did not relax, but became even tighter. They prayed silently, hoping that such a strange thing would not happen again...

Inside the hospital, the medical staff were on edge, and experts were busy conducting an autopsy investigation to try to solve the mystery. Outside the hospital, however, it was a different scene, with the nightlife of the Magic City in full swing, bustling and noisy.

Although it was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, the Magic City was still brightly lit and bustling with traffic. Luxury cars shuttled along the Huangpu River, and skyscrapers stood tall, making the surroundings look particularly small. Fashionable men and women strolled on the streets, including many foreign friends, weaving together the diverse style of this city. The World Financial Center was particularly conspicuous in the night, the whole building was brightly lit, and there were shadows of people, and it was very lively. As a landmark building in Pudong, it attracted countless tourists to stop and admire it.

However, behind this prosperity, a dark corner hides an unknown secret. A figure stood there quietly, staring at the tall building, holding a strange object in his hand that looked like a compass but was completely different. He was almost morbidly obsessed with the tall building, but because it was pitch black all around, no one noticed his presence, let alone his face. A gust of wind blew by, and he quietly disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared.

At the same time, on the other side, the fat man followed behind Wang Cheng, complaining with a tired face: "Are you any good as a Taoist priest? You said in the afternoon that he would be there soon, but you still haven't found him. How about you give me the man's birth date and I'll calculate it?"

Wang Cheng also looked quite tired. Hearing this, he asked back, "Do you ask about birth dates before making friends? Don't you like Shanghai? The nightlife here is famous all over the country. You should be happy."

The fat man looked around and saw a dazzling array of bars and nightclubs, luxury cars parked outside, and rich men and prostitutes enjoying what they wanted. He sighed and said helplessly, "The nightlife in Shanghai is indeed great, but you have to go in and enjoy it. What's fun about me following you shopping here? Give me a clear answer, how long will it take?"

Wang Cheng calculated carefully again, frowning and saying, "It's strange. After entering the Magic City, I always felt something was wrong. Although the result of the calculation showed that the direction was correct, I just didn't have that feeling of sudden enlightenment."

As a Taoist priest, Wang Cheng attached great importance to this feeling. It was like a resonance between heaven and earth, and he could control the world with the power of Feng Shui. But in the Magic City, he felt that his ability to calculate was shrouded in a layer of fog and was difficult to display.

He looked up at the sky and said casually, "This place seems to be covered by a big net."

This made the fat man's already anxious mood even more irritated: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here to suffer this with you..."

The two continued to walk forward while talking, gradually moving away from the bustling area and entering a completely different world. In the distance, there were tall buildings and bright lights, but in front of them was an old residential area, which formed a sharp contrast with the prosperity in the distance.

The fat man looked around curiously and found that the street lights here were dim and dim. "I didn't expect that there is such a place in the Magic City."

Wang Cheng put his hands in his pockets and said with interest: "Every city has such corners. The more prosperous the city is, the more desolate it looks. This is the inevitable law of the development of all things. Where there is yin, there is yang. Where there is prosperity, there is decline. This should be an old residential area. It has no economic value, so naturally no one is willing to develop it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cheng suddenly stopped, looked at the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we are here."

Hearing this, the fat man followed Wang Cheng's line of sight. At the end of a secluded path, he saw a factory building with an old-fashioned tile lamp hanging on it, emitting a dim light. The light barely illuminated the door and the few large words next to it: "Nadutong Logistics Warehouse".

At this time, the door of the warehouse was open, and a figure was busy moving large goods inside. The fat man was shocked and looked at Wang Cheng to confirm again and again: "Are you sure it's here?"

Wang Cheng did not answer directly, but strode forward. The fat man had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow him. In this strange place, he could only choose to trust Wang Cheng and stick to it.

This area looks like an abandoned factory area. The big iron gate is half-open and cannot be completely closed. It is covered with mottled rust and looks very old.

When the two men walked to the door, a sign came into view that read: "There is a vicious dog inside, no entry without permission!" Although the handwriting was blurred, the warning was still clear.

Wang Cheng hesitated when he saw the sign. The fat man immediately understood what was going on and said jokingly, "Hey, Taoist brother, are you scared by the dog?"

Wang Cheng looked a little embarrassed and glanced at the fat man: "What's wrong? Who doesn't have some psychological trauma?"

Seeing Wang Cheng was humiliated, the fat man immediately became energetic, pushed open the iron gate, and walked in. Then, a dog barked, which scared Wang Cheng. He stood at the door and didn't dare to step in. But soon, he mustered up the courage to walk in, holding a small and exquisite puppy in his hands.

The fat man looked at Wang Cheng, stroking the puppy and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, just wait and see, when I go back I will tell everyone about this, saying that you, Wang Cheng, were frightened by a puppy!"

Wang Cheng was relieved to see it was just a puppy, and walked in silently. However, the barking of the dog seemed to startle the busy figure, and she turned her head and looked over here with sharp eyes.

"Put down the hungry wolf!" A crisp female voice with Sichuan dialect sounded, which was somewhat out of place in this quiet environment.

When Wang Cheng heard the voice, his heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Is it Feng Baobao? I am Wang Cheng, and I came to see you specially."

"What do we want to do with you? To bury you?" The woman's answer stunned both Wang Cheng and the fat man.

What was even more unexpected was that the woman who was standing at the door suddenly rushed towards them at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, she had leaped into the air, holding a shovel in her hand, and was in a menacing posture. (End of this chapter)
