I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 51 The Ghost Child is in My Belly!?

The living room in the courtyard.

The red candles continued to emit a red glow, illuminating the anxious faces of the people.

Everyone leaned forward, peering out, their fists clenched, their hands and feet trembling, so nervous they could hardly breathe.

Everyone knew that if Chen Mo lost, they would all be doomed. They all wished Xie Cui dead. Only Li Yu lay by the threshold of the living room, shouting hoarsely, "Don't hurt my wife!"

If Li Wenqing hadn't held him down, Li Yu would probably have rushed out and fought Chen Mo to the death.

Just then, the sounds of fighting outside the door stopped, and everything became quiet.

The servants and maids, unable to see what was happening outside the courtyard, stared intently at the gap in the collapsed wall and began to discuss it anxiously.

"The battle is over. I wonder if the second young master won or not?"

"The second young master had the upper hand the whole time, dominating that ghost. He must have won."

"I don't think so. After all, it's a ghost. It can possess people. What if it possesses the young master's body..."

"Pah, pah, pah, you shut the hell up, or I'll tear your mouth apart."

Just then, a woman pushed through the crowd and hurriedly ran out. It was Lin Yulan who suddenly broke free from Chen Yinfu's hand, frantically pushing through the crowd, her eyes already blurred with tears, muttering "Erlang" under her breath.

Chen Yinfu suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Stop Yu Lan!"

The servants then seemed to wake from a dream and rushed forward to grab Lin Yulan tightly.

Unable to struggle, Lin Yulan cried out in a hoarse voice, "Erlang, Erlang can't be hurt!"

Such a mournful and sorrowful roar is enough to make one's heart flutter with turmoil.

At this moment, Chen Wu came out with his knife, gritting his teeth and saying, "Auntie, you stay here, I'll go check on my second brother."

After saying that, Chen Wu suppressed his fear, grabbed his knife and walked outside. When he reached the living room door, he suddenly stopped and stared at the outside in disbelief.

This was because a series of footsteps approached from outside.

The others also heard the footsteps and turned to look.

Bathed in the moonlight, a young man in a brocade robe stained with blood appeared in everyone's sight, holding a knife in one hand and carrying a limp corpse in the other.

The boy climbed over the courtyard wall and walked step by step through the snow in the courtyard.

With each step, blood was spilled onto the ground, staining the silvery-white snow red.

The powerful aura surging within him created an immense sense of oppression, making it impossible to look directly at him.

What kind of teenager is this?
He was clearly a valiant knight-errant who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Finally, the boy reached the living room doorway.

He paused briefly before stepping over the threshold. He tossed Xie Cui's body beside Li Yu and wearily began to speak:

"Ling Zheng was possessed by an evil spirit, but it was no match for me and escaped from his body. Now I have killed the evil spirit. Unfortunately, your lady has suffered the consequences. Please accept my condolences."

Li Yu seemed not to hear Chen Mo's words. He hurriedly rushed to Xie Cui's corpse and, upon seeing Xie Cui's appearance, let out a heart-wrenching scream: "My wife, it is my incompetence that has wronged you!"

Li Wenqing looked down and saw that Xie Cui had become a dried corpse with festering sores all over her body. Her pupils were sunken, her lips were cracked, all her teeth had fallen out, and her hair would fall out if she touched it. In addition, her whole body was burned by Chen Mo's true energy, and her flesh was rolled up, making her look very frightening.

Li Wenqing glanced at Li Yu, who was crying his heart out, and sighed. He then cupped his hands to Chen Mo and said, "This evil spirit first destroyed the Xie family, and then it tried to take over the Chen family. It is all thanks to Second Young Master Chen that it was annihilated."

In the end, Li Wenqing felt deeply ashamed. He recalled what he had said to Chen Mo earlier: Chen Mo was just an ordinary person, without the skills to exorcise evil spirits, and was no match for them…

Looking back now, it's truly a tremendous irony.

He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about the power of Young Master Chen.

She felt even more insignificant in front of Young Master Chen.

Chen Mo returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "It is my duty to rid the people of evil." Seeing Chen Mo's righteous words, Li Wenqing felt increasingly insignificant and finally spoke up, "Just now I said that Young Master Chen was just an ordinary person, which made you laugh."

Chen Mo cupped his hands again, saying, "Lord Li came to my residence late at night to help me, and even dared to be the first to strike at the evil spirits. I am already impressed and grateful for that. How could I dare to laugh at him?"

Seeing Li Wenqing's ashamed and embarrassed expression, Chen Mo changed the subject, "I noticed that Li Dianshi is agitated. Please take him back as soon as possible, sir."

“Very well, I will come to thank you another day.” Li Wenqing did not mince words and left with Li Yu and Xie Cui.

As Li Yu reached the courtyard gate, he turned back and glared at Chen Mo resentfully.

Chen Mo, with his exceptionally keen senses, naturally noticed it all.

Although the other party was a high-ranking official, Chen Mo was not intimidated by him.

After regaining his composure, Chen Mo went to his parents, greeted them, and reassured them that he was alright. Then he told everyone, "The evil spirit has been exorcised; we are safe for now. Everyone, go back and rest."

Uncle Zhou, please have the guards keep patrolling. Remember, do not let any strangers near. If anyone comes to the door, report to me immediately at the East Courtyard.

After dismissing everyone else, only family members remained in the living room.

Chen Mo said, "Second Aunt, don't go back to the North Courtyard tonight. Take Xiaoyuer and Chen Wu and make do here for the night. There are red candles lit here, so it's much safer."

After leaving behind the red candles, Chen Mo hurriedly returned to the East Courtyard with Qiu Lan and Ma Tie.

As usual, Ma Tie took the woman to the backyard and locked her up, while Qiu Lan went to boil water to prepare a bath for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took a shower alone, changed into clean underwear, sat on the bed, and, using the light of the horn lamp, lifted his clothes to look at the baby's face on his belly.

Now that the identifier has evolved into a reader, Chen Mo plans to read his own madness to have a better understanding of the situation.

However, when Chen Mo looked at his abdomen, he was surprised to find that the baby face had disappeared.

"Huh? The baby face is completely gone? When I looked this morning, there were still a few birthmarks, but they're all gone?"

Chen Mo thought he was seeing things, blinked and looked again, but still couldn't see any birthmark. He rubbed his abdomen a few times, but still couldn't feel any trace of a birthmark.

I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Perhaps it's because I broke through the internal martial arts, and my qi and blood are stronger than ever before. Plus, I had a fierce fight tonight, and my true qi is flowing and merging... The last trace of the birthmark is gone?"

Based on Chen Mo's long-term research on infant faces, the disappearance of birthmarks... should mean that the illness is cured.

"Is my madness cured?"

"The recovery from this illness was a bit abrupt... I wasn't mentally prepared at all."

Chen Mo smiled with relief, "I've been living in fear and anxiety about madness for more than three months since I transmigrated. Tonight I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Perhaps due to exhaustion from the great battle, Chen Mo fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was jolted awake by a sharp abdominal pain.

"what!!"

Chen Mo suddenly sat up in bed, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

Given Chen Mo's personality, he no longer takes ordinary pain to heart, but this kind of pain... is clearly more intense than being stabbed with a knife.

It felt as if something was violently twisting my internal organs in my abdomen, it was unbearable.

Before he could catch his breath, another wave of excruciating pain swept over him, causing Chen Mo to roll off the bed and onto the floor.

He knew he had to stay calm, so he gritted his teeth and immediately lifted the lining to look...

Suddenly, I could see the skin on my abdomen rising and falling slightly, as if something was moving around inside.

The first thing that came to Chen Mo's mind was the words from Xie Sanye's book:
—Besides the symbiote, there is an even more terrifying existence: a patient's body and mind can bear the will and needs of the baby face, and eventually the baby face will slowly transform and grow, becoming a real baby within the patient's body. Let's call this baby a ghost fetus.
