Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 70 Triple Ghost Realm, Ghost Eyes, and Starving Ghosts
"Numbness!!!"

Yang Jian shouted, "Zhang Wei, run!"

However, the phone call ended there...

Yang Jian was horrified!

The ghost baby invaded his house!
He immediately began releasing the Ghost Domain!
Then, I teleported! I was off to rescue my friend Zhang Wei!
Yang Jian's pupils suddenly contracted, and his ghostly eyes darted uneasily around in their sockets. Zhang Wei's voice continued on the other end of the phone, but every word pierced his eardrums like an ice pick.

Yang Jian's knuckles turned white from the force, and the phone casing made a clicking sound as it struggled under the strain.

The red light of the ghost realm flickered around him.

"Zhang Wei," Yang Jian's voice was terrifyingly low, "you leave that house right now!"

However, an eerie silence suddenly fell on the other end of the phone. A few seconds later, the call abruptly ended.

Yang Jian's ghost eyes opened fully, and a scarlet light spread throughout the bathhouse. Those nearby immediately felt as if their skin was being pricked by countless fine needles—a natural suppression of the living by supernatural forces.

"A ghost baby!" Yang Jian spat out the words through gritted teeth. "You've got to use underhanded tactics!"

The red light suddenly surged, turning the entire locker room blood-red. Yang Jian's figure blurred in the red light before merging into this eerie ghost realm.

The next moment, Yang Jian had disappeared from the spot.

The locker room lights flickered a few times before returning to normal. Only a few wisps of red mist remained, slowly dissipating.

A crimson ghostly realm streaked across the night sky as Yang Jian traversed the gap between the material and polluted layers at an astonishing speed.

In Yang Jian's Ghost Eyes' vision, the entire city was shrouded in a faint bluish-black haze, a trace of supernatural power within the Lost Layer.

The outline of the villa came into view. Everything looked normal from the outside, but the ghost's eyes saw something invisible to ordinary people—the entire building was shrouded in a thin layer of bluish-black mist, and the light shining through the windows had an unnatural, pale green hue.

Yang Jian did not rush in. He first enveloped the entire villa with his ghost domain to ensure that nothing inside could escape. Then, he released a headless ghost shadow, letting it sneak in along the walls.

Through the ghost's perspective, he saw the scene in the living room: Zhang Wei was still sitting in front of the computer playing games, but his movements were so stiff that he didn't look like a living person, and his abdomen was a round beer belly just like Zhou Zheng's back then!

Behind him, a figure that looked exactly like Yang Jian stood quietly, except that the face was slowly melting, revealing the bluish-black skin underneath.

Not only that, but there were also his two "confidantes" here, one named Jiang Yan and the other named Zhang Liqin. At this moment, both of them were heavily pregnant and looked like they were six months along!

"A ghost baby!" Yang Jian's expression immediately turned extremely cold.

There was no time to wait. Yang Jian activated his Ghost Domain and instantly appeared in Zhang Wei's room.

"Zhang Wei!" he shouted.

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Wei slowly turned his head, a strange smile on his face: "Leg Dad? How come you... sigh, two Leg Dads?"

He seemed completely unaware that something was wrong with his stomach.

Yang Jian kept his ghost eyes fixed on that other "self".

The thing seemed to sense danger; its body began to twist violently, and something was wriggling under its skin.

"Trying to run?" Yang Jian sneered. The three layers of ghostly domains instantly overlapped, sealing off the entire living room.

That "self" let out a silent roar!

This is the third stage of the ghost baby!
Zhang Wei suddenly slid off the chair and fell to the ground, convulsing.

Yang Jian used his ghost eyes to see that a bluish-black mist was churning inside Zhang Wei's stomach!
The situation was worse than expected. Yang Jian acted decisively; the headless ghostly figure spread from beneath his feet, instantly wrapping around Zhang Wei's body and pulling open his clothes!

Zhang Wei's abdomen was swollen high, and something inside was struggling violently. Just as Yang Jian's hand was about to touch it, the swollen abdomen suddenly split open—

A bluish-black hand reached out from inside!
Yang Jian's pupils suddenly contracted.

In a flash, Yang Jian changed his strategy, concentrating all the power of the Ghost Domain into that bluish-black hand!

The bluish-black hand suddenly retracted.

Zhang Wei's abdomen slammed shut like a zipper, making a teeth-grinding "creak" sound. Yang Jian's Ghost Eyes spun wildly, and he activated Ghost Domain Overlay without hesitation!
The red light of the three-layered ghost domain pressed down on the ghost baby in Zhang Wei's belly as if it were a tangible force!

The ghost baby's body began to twist and deform, and countless tiny bluish-black lines appeared on the surface of Zhang Wei's abdominal skin.

Just then, Zhang Wei suddenly let out a scream that sounded inhuman. His body arched at an incredible angle, and his spine cracked as if it were breaking.

Suddenly, Yang Jian's Ghost Eyes continued their search and discovered that in a room not far away, the body of a third-stage ghost infant was seeping into the cracks in the floor like liquid.

"Damn it!"

Yang Jian immediately shrunk his Ghost Domain to its maximum, locking onto the escape trajectory of the third-stage ghost infant. Through the vision of his Ghost Eye, he saw that the ghost infant's target was—the basement!

Yang Jian didn't immediately give chase. He quickly walked to Zhang Wei's side, his Ghost Eye rapidly checking his condition. The situation was dire: Zhang Wei's pupils had also turned bluish-black. "Hold on! Zhang Wei!" Yang Jian whispered, simultaneously using his headless ghostly shadow to create an isolation barrier around Zhang Wei. This would at least temporarily stop the ghost infant parasitizing his body from continuing to grow.

After finishing these tasks, Yang Jian turned his attention to the basement.

Why is this ghost baby attacking the people around me?

There was no time to hesitate. Yang Jian immediately activated his Ghost Domain and teleported to the basement. The moment he appeared in the basement, an extremely cold aura rushed towards him.

The temperature in the basement was abnormally low, and a terrifying bluish-black haze was churning.

When the third-stage ghost infant saw Yang Jian appear, the remaining half of its face disappeared into the bluish-black haze, and then vanished completely.

Yang Jian cautiously approached the dark blue haze, sensing something terrifying, like a library, deep within it.

Cold sweat beaded on Yang Jian's forehead. He had to make a choice: he needed to get Zhang Wei, Jiang Yan, and Zhang Liqin out of there immediately, and then he would retrieve the ghost infant. He had the ability, but he had never told the Ghost Tamer headquarters.

Just then, the dark blue mist began to churn, and within it, Yang Jian saw countless distorted human faces, all screaming silently.

"not good!"

Yang Jian immediately activated his Ghost Domain to seal off the spread of the mist. The red light of the Ghost Domain intensified, gradually slowing the spread of the bluish-black mist.

At the same time, Yang Jian sensed through the Ghost Domain that the ghost infants parasitizing Zhang Wei, Jiang Yan, and Zhang Liqin upstairs were frantically absorbing the mist and growing faster!
The situation is completely out of control.

Yang Jian first used his Ghost Domain to shroud the villa, preventing the dark blue-black haze from spreading out!

Then, the moment Yang Jian's ghostly domain touched the bluish-black surface, he sensed a vast, supernatural space within the gloom, and the ghost infant was at the center of that space, merging with something even more terrifying.
What’s in it?
Yang Jian decisively severed his connection with that part of the ghostly figure. He realized that with his current strength, he was simply not capable of resolving this crisis.

We must find the source of this evil spirit lurking in the Seventh Middle School as soon as possible!
According to Wang Xiaoming, this incident is called the "Starving Ghost Incident"!
But he sensed that there was an even more terrifying ghost manipulating things above the starving ghost!
"We have no choice but to evacuate."

Yang Jian turned to rescue Zhang Wei, Jiang Yan, and Zhang Liqin. But just then, the basement door suddenly closed automatically, followed by a chilling locking sound.

Yang Jian whirled around and saw the swirling, dark blue mist beginning to dissipate. But in his Ghost Eyes' vision, a blurry human figure clearly stood there—the same shadowy figure he had seen in the library earlier!

"I see……"

Yang Jian finally understood that from the very beginning, Zhang Wei and the others were bait, and this villa was a trap to lure people in!

Meanwhile, on the campus of No. 7 Middle School.

The campus was eerily quiet in the early morning. The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.

Liu Yan was sensing the Gu worms she had released into the Lost Layer.

She knew these Gu worms wouldn't live much longer, so she had to hurry and gather intelligence.

At that moment, through the vision transmitted by the swarm of insects, she saw the No. 7 Middle School teaching building within the Lost Layer, shrouded in a dark blue haze, with a faint light shining from a window on the fifth floor.

"Go take a look," Liu Yan instructed the Gu worm.

The venomous insects began to approach the teaching building. As they drew closer, Liu Yan sensed a faint, chilling aura. This wasn't ordinary cold; it was the kind of bone-chilling cold unique to supernatural events.

This coldness could actually be transmitted to her, who was in the mysterious layer, through the Gu worms!
When the Gu worm arrived outside the brightly lit classroom, it heard voices coming from inside.

This... is the classroom of Class 7 in the third year of high school!
Next, the gray nematode quietly peered inside through the back door window.

The scene in the classroom sent chills down his spine: dozens of students-like "people" sat neatly in the classroom, and standing on the podium was none other than—Zhou Zheng! The Dachang City official who should have been dead! Liu Yan had obtained his photo through the Ghost Tamer headquarters!

Zhou Zheng's abdomen still resembled a beer belly, with faint, wriggling shadows visible inside. He was writing something on the blackboard, while the "students" below mechanically took notes.

The faces of these "students" were all bluish-black, and their eyes, lacking pupils, were also beginning to turn bluish-black.

Their movements were completely synchronized, even their breathing frequencies were exactly the same.

"Do those killed by the knocking ghost also become the ghost slaves of the ghost baby?"

The Gu worms also went to scout the next room, which is now Class 5 of Senior Three. However, during the broadcast today, Lin Xiaoyu and the others who were taken away by the first wave of supernatural tides did not appear in the classroom!
Just then, she sensed something, directed the gray nematode to turn around, and saw a blurry figure standing at the end of the corridor—that figure!

But before the Gu worms could see clearly, the figure vanished into the darkness. At the same time, Zhou Zheng in the classroom suddenly stopped writing and slowly turned towards the back door.

The insect swarm's vision suddenly became blurry and distorted. Liu Yan could only hear the sounds of desks and chairs overturning, as well as a sticky sound like countless insects crawling.

When Liu Yan regained vision of the swarm, she discovered that the main gate of the teaching building had been locked at some point. To make matters worse, the classroom doors on both sides of the corridor were open one after another, with several dark-skinned "students" standing at each doorway.

The next moment, the swarm's vision was completely cut off!

　Third update!
