Chapter 15: Ye Feng's Mad Dash

Why did the ghost infant appear here?

Chen Shoushan was somewhat surprised; although he knew his appearance would inevitably cause a butterfly effect, this also came too fast, right?

"Notify all warriors, retreat to our side, keep movements quiet."

Chen Shoushan ordered.

Regarding genuine paranormal incidents, the function of the security officer is not significant, and the current situation is not yet urgent enough to abandon the security officer.

"Chen Shoushan, the ghost infant Professor Wang wants is downstairs!"

Ye Feng said with somewhat fervent eyes.

Wang Xiaoqiang was also somewhat tempted; although he didn't say it out loud, he still hoped to help Wang Xiaoming, of course he wouldn't say it out loud.

Chen Shoushan looked at the two people before him, each with their own ideas, knowing in his heart that he couldn't stop them now; although on the surface Ye Feng and Wang Xiaoqiang had been honest all along, doing whatever Chen Shoushan said, but mainly it was just some trivial small matters; once it involved their own interests, naturally each would look out for themselves, and no one could stop anyone else.

Chen Shoushan thought it over; since they'd eventually have to face the paranormal incident anyway, he nodded: "Let's go down and take a look!"

Although regardless of Chen Shoushan's agreement, Ye Feng intended to go down and capture a ghost infant, since he believed that having mastered two ghosts, dealing with a mere ghost slave spawned from a starving ghost was no easy feat?

Thus, as the security officers on the first floor retreated upward, Chen Shoushan's trio went against the flow, quickly arriving at the first floor, where the lobby was completely empty.

Outside the lobby, it was still pitch dark, but at this moment Chen Shoushan's trio heard neither infant cries nor chewing sounds, yet they did not relax their vigilance.

"Shall we go out and have a look?"

Ye Feng waited a while longer, still no movement, and anxiously said,

What if the ghost infant gets away? After all, this time we're taking the initiative to capture ghosts, not being attacked by them, so of course we must take the initiative.

"Let's go out and have a look!"

Wang Xiaoqiang also proposed, thinking it was just a spawned ghost infant; could it possibly defeat three Ghost Masters? If so, humanity might as well give up and all commit suicide.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang also agree, Ye Feng was delighted, heading straight for the outer door without asking Chen Shoushan's opinion—after all, he was a strong cultivator who had mastered two ghosts; did he still need Chen Shoushan's consent?

Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Ye Feng fading into the darkness, then at the expressionless Chen Shoushan beside him, gritted his teeth and stayed by Chen Shoushan's side.

Although Ye Feng, who had mastered two ghosts, seemed stronger, recalling how Chen Shoushan had once rescued him from Yang Jian's grasp, and that Wang Xiaoming had secretly urged Wang Xiaoqiang to befriend Chen Shoushan without harm, for various reasons Wang Xiaoqiang decided to stay.

Chen Shoushan glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang, who had not left; under Wang Xiaoqiang's astonished gaze, a security officer swiftly came up from upstairs carrying a bag, approached the two, saluted Chen Shoushan, then ran back up.

Chen Shoushan chuckled: "Mr. Ye, you're too impatient—I didn't say I disagree! But since it's like this, let Mr. Ye go ahead first!"

Opening the bag revealed specially collected weapons from mercenaries; evidently these mercenaries' weapons were specially made to deal with ghosts, or rather to deal with Ghost Masters.

Meanwhile, after Ye Feng went out, he discovered Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't followed; looking at the surrounding darkness, he felt a moment of regret, but having come out, he couldn't just turn back, could he?

Just then, Ye Feng suddenly heard a faint chewing sound from not far away; after careful discernment, he realized the sound seemed to come from the direction where they had parked.

Hearing this eerie chewing sound, Ye Feng was not startled but delighted—what else could it be but a ghost infant? Isn't this exactly the ghost he's been looking for?

Without much hesitation, Ye Feng hurried toward the parking spot, which was only a few steps away; soon he saw the car parked where they'd left it, but the chewing sound had vanished.

Ye Feng solemnly approached the car, his flashlight illuminating it; the earlier sound seemed like his illusion, so he cautiously shone the flashlight inside—nothing.

Seeing the car's interior empty, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he relaxed, the eerie chewing sound rang again; in the surrounding extreme quiet, this slow chewing filled his mind.

"Damn"

Ye Feng cursed inwardly, both startled and angry: the chewing sound clearly came from the car, so why couldn't he see the ghost infant? Had he stumbled upon some other paranormal event?

Ye Feng approached the car intending to examine more closely while the sound persisted; upon getting closer, his expression changed slightly—he smelled a strong blood odor, which he hadn't noticed when standing farther away, but now it was unmistakable.

Ye Feng, smelling the blood, went to the rear of the car; his pupils contracted—the ground behind the car was in disarray, bloodstains and organs scattered everywhere, as if someone had been torn apart alive, entrails strewn about.

At that moment, Ye Feng suddenly saw a cell phone fallen among a pile of organs.

Ye Feng squatted down, instinctively reaching for the phone, but the next moment he froze in place, slowly turning his head—just then he could see the underside of the car.

A mutilated head, its eye sockets empty, only half a brain remained; yet from that half-brain Ye Feng recognized the person—Li Li!

One of the Ghost Masters who patrolled the west together with Zhao KaiMing; at this moment his half-brain lay quietly beneath the car.

Beside Li Li's half-brain, a bluish-black-skinned infant stared at Ye Feng with pitch-black eye sockets—this was exactly the ghost infant Ye Feng had been longing for.

But what made Ye Feng's scalp tingle was that it wasn't just one; beneath the car lay countless infants, all silently gazing at the Ye Feng crouched on the ground.

Ye Feng now felt like dying, but the infants wouldn't let this feast pass; in the next instant, countless infant shrieks rose, and the ghost infants swarmed up from beneath the car toward Ye Feng.

Ye Feng no longer cared about recovery; he exerted all his strength to stimulate the ghosts within him, and instantly a white robe covered in the character for longevity appeared on his surface—this was the Ghost Longevity Robe, one of the two ghosts he commanded!

Under the protection of the Ghost Longevity Robe's supernatural power, the first ghost infant that lunged at Ye Feng was instantly corroded into a wisp of green smoke that vanished into the darkness; as a price, a black infant handprint remained on his white longevity robe.

Taking advantage of the opening, Ye Feng hurriedly got up and ran toward the Shangtong Building; he knew he absolutely could not deal with so many ghost infants, and even if he forced himself, recovery would not be far off.
