In the investigation of paranormal events

"It seems the deformed old man is there."

Once Chen Ran pinpointed the target's location, things became much easier.

However, upon closer inspection, her location was quite unusual—it was the women's restroom.

"This weird flavor is quite unique..." Jiang Cheng thought to himself.

Currently, the only known ability of the deformed old woman is "contamination." She can contaminate the things around her, which means that as long as she doesn't get close, you can easily take her down!

Chen Ran frowned slightly, then picked up the pocket watch, the same one he had used to hypnotize Jiang Cheng.

Chen Ran slowly walked up, clutching his pocket watch tightly in his hand. As he got closer, more and more traces of corrosion on the walls came into his view. Logically speaking, these walls made of marble should not have any problems for at least ten years.

But now, thick mold has grown on it, covering the entire wall and corroding it beyond recognition! It's also emitting a foul stench.

"It should be behind the door."

Chen Ran stopped at the finish line. He didn't rush in. Looking at the corroded walls around him, they clearly indicated the location of the target.

"Looks like this is going to be troublesome."

"Even so, we still need to see it with our own eyes, or at least get information about it."

"Chen Ran! Watch out! The target has been spotted!"

Just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, before Chen Ran could even go inside, it came out and bumped right into her.

Chen Ran reacted extremely quickly, without the slightest hesitation, instantly pulling out her pocket watch and shaking it.

Stop.

With Chen Ran's full effort, she can hypnotize a person in just three seconds, even if it's a bizarre situation.

Chen Ran's shaking technique was very strange. It was just a slight sway, but it was so fast that it left afterimages. No one knew how Chen Ran did it.

Soon, the deformed old man stopped moving.

Upon closer inspection, the deformed old man's face was extremely ugly, as if it had been corroded, making it impossible to discern his features. His entire body looked as if it had fallen into a stinking ditch, broken and emitting a foul stench.

Seeing the deformed old man stop, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly took a few steps back.

"That's... solved?" Jiang Cheng murmured to himself.

"Come here first, I've got it under control now."

Then Jiang Cheng slowly walked over and, together with Chen Ran, looked at the deformed old man from a distance.

At this moment, the deformed old man's body remained motionless, as if frozen in time, but the "corrosion" around him did not stop.

Before long, thick mold grew all around him, and the ground and walls were stained with it.

"It seems to have been resolved at present."

Chen Ran crossed her arms and watched this scene quietly.

Even Jiang Cheng was surprised that things were resolved so quickly. Just as the two of them were starting to relax...

He moved!

The deformed old man's fingers twitched slightly and curled up, a detail that the two naturally noticed.

"Oh no! Jiang Cheng! Back off!"

Chen Ran shouted loudly.

The next second, the mutated old man suddenly broke free from his restraints! He instantly teleported in front of Chen Ran and grabbed Chen Ran tightly with both hands!

Along with that, the pollution on his body also gradually eroded him, and soon it infected Chen Ran's body, and thick mold began to grow on Chen Ran's clothes.

Although Jiang Cheng had taken a few steps back, he was unharmed, but Chen Ran had already been attacked.

"Damn it! My first mission has gone wrong! What bad luck!"

"Forget about that now, saving lives is the priority!"

"A strange possession!"

Jiang Cheng activates his Yin-Yang Eyes! He summons a ghost to possess him!

After "inviting a ghost to possess you," you can forcibly use the absorbed supernatural abilities! However, this can only last for a limited time, as prolonged use may result in a backlash!

The first ghost Jiang Cheng absorbed was a vengeful spirit, a little girl whose power was "resentment."

After Jiang Cheng possesses him, if an ordinary person stares into his eyes for more than a minute, he will be affected by the resentment, at least to the point that his eyes bleed.

If he comes into contact with Jiang Cheng during this period, or even if he encounters Jiang Cheng, he will die instantly, bleeding from all seven orifices!

That's right! After Jiang Cheng invites a ghost to possess him, he can inherit the ghost's abilities and have the same effects as the ghost.

Most importantly, not only humans, but even the supernatural can be affected by resentment!

Therefore, even if it is a deformed old man in front of Jiang Cheng now, Jiang Cheng can influence or even kill him!

However, Jiang Cheng is not yet proficient in using the Yin-Yang Eyes, and can only maintain this state for five minutes at present.

But that's enough for Jiang Cheng.

"Come on, you deformed old man!"

After Jiang Cheng was possessed by the eerie aura, a black and red aura emanated from her, which was the resentment carried by the vengeful ghost.

Jiang Cheng stared intently at the deformed old man, then rushed forward and grabbed his arm!

Instantly, the deformed old man looked as if he had been burned; a red mark appeared where Jiang Cheng had grabbed him, and he immediately let go.

At this moment, Chen Ran's eyes turned a clear blue, as if she was brewing something.

But soon, the deformed old man reacted and grabbed Jiang Cheng by the neck.

Although Jiang Cheng held onto the deformed old man tightly, the old man seemed unafraid now, refusing to let go and instead increasing the pressure on his hands.

"Look me in the eyes."

As Chen Ran uttered those indifferent words, both the deformed old man and Jiang Cheng turned to look in her direction.

Most importantly, this action is irreversible; they are unable to control their actions at this moment, as if they have been under some kind of spell.

The moment the deformed old man saw Chen Ran, the force in his hand instantly lessened. To be precise, he completely stopped moving, and even the hand that was holding Jiang Cheng was suspended in the air. Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to break free from his grasp.

"Ahem!"

"What the hell is this monster!" Jiang Cheng coughed.

"My mistake! I'm sorry, Jiang Cheng."

At this moment, Chen Ran seemed like a different person. His eyes were so bright they seemed to be shining, azure, clear, and ethereal – these were the words that best described Chen Ran's eyes.

"I don't believe you can even dodge this."

Chen Ran stared at the deformed old man for five seconds.

After confirming that he had truly brought the deformed old man under his control, Chen Ran released the "state." His eyes slowly lost their color, but remained clear and blue.

"Phew! It's solved." Chen Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank you.

Chen Ran thanked Jiang Cheng at the end, saying that without him, she might have really met with an accident.

At the most critical moment, he helped him out, which prevented him from being contaminated.

Jiang Cheng then broke free from the eerie state and closed his Yin-Yang Eyes.

"Next, all we need to do is report the matter of the deformed old man to headquarters, and headquarters will send someone to handle it," Chen Ran explained.

Jiang Cheng nodded, and after confirming that everything was in perfect order, the two glanced at the deformed old man one last time before finally leaving with peace of mind.

After some time, personnel from headquarters quickly arrived and took "containment" measures...

Thus, the case of the deformed elderly man ended with him being taken into custody!
