Chapter 116: He is not bad, he just wants to shroud the world in fear

Jiang Tang reached out and touched his cheek, his gaze somewhat dazed.

His hand felt bumpy and uneven, and there were even quite a few cracks.

There was some bright red blood in the gaps between his ten fingers.

He was a Ghost Tamer; the ghost in his body had already begun to entangle with the Wasteland Gaze. Just like Tang Cai, gradually, the Wasteland Gaze would replace his original ghost.

The eyeballs on his body were the beginning of the change.

Slowly, he would become a member of the fear in the night; slowly, he would no longer fear fear! He would completely degenerate into fear.

However, Jiang Yun's situation was different; she was not a Ghost Tamer, and her situation might eventually lead to the same path as Xiao Wan.

Becoming a dark loli.

The Wasteland Gaze would affect her mindset, and she would eventually become a Ghost Tamer as well.

Jiang Tang stood frozen in place, reached out to take out his wallet, and looked at the slightly yellowed family photo in the wallet's compartment.

He didn't blame the Demon Bear, nor did he blame Lin Xiaowan.

If it weren't for them, he and his daughter likely wouldn't have had a chance to survive at all.

Jiang Tang put the wallet away and said coldly: "You don't need to worry about it. I was able to save you this time, but that doesn't mean I can do it in the future. You should be careful yourself."

"We are strangers; if we meet again next time, I won't help you again, and even... I will kill you."

After saying this, Jiang Tang turned and left; he walked into the darkness.

Tang Cai looked at his back and let out a terrifying laugh.

"Hehehe, you still aren't prepared to join the fear. Is this what you call attachment?"

"Tell me, if I killed all your attachments, would you be willing to work for my Lord? It's truly interesting, interesting."

"Mom!"

Jiang Yun was sent back by Old Wang; upon returning home, she saw Xu Miao sitting in the living room alone, dazed.

After hearing her daughter's voice, she hurriedly looked up, ran over, and held her daughter tightly in her arms, her voice choked with sobs.

"Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Jiang Yun nodded: "I'm fine, it was Dad who came to save me."

Xu Miao looked to the side; except for Old Wang, who had a constipated expression, Jiang Tang's figure didn't seem to be there.

After a moment of silence, she asked: "Where is he?"

Jiang Yun tilted her head and said: "Dad went to work; he's fine."

But these words didn't make Xu Miao feel at ease; instead, she stared fixedly at Old Wang.

Old Wang's expression was somewhat inscrutable, his gaze evasive, and finally, he stammered: "That, Sister-in-law, I can't say the specific situation, but one thing is certain: he is definitely not dead, and is still alive and kicking right now."

Hearing him say this, Xu Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nothing is more important than life safety; only by being alive is there hope!

After putting Jiang Yun to sleep in the inner bedroom, Xu Miao came out and served Old Wang a cup of tea.

Then she sat beside him and asked seriously: "Old Wang, what exactly do you all do, and where is Jiang Tang right now? Since nothing happened to him, why doesn't he come back?"

Old Wang's gaze was evasive; he took a sip of tea and finally sighed slightly.

"Sigh, no need to hide it anymore; it won't be long before the whole world knows."

"Actually, there is another thing in the world called a ghost, which is the legendary ghost, and it is thousands of times more terrifying than a ghost. You were targeted tonight because of a ghost, but that ghost has already been dealt with."

"People like us are collectively called Ghost Tamers, specifically for dealing with ghosts. Old Jiang and I are both official Ghost Tamers, which can be considered a type of police." Xu Miao had already guessed this point.

Recently, the internet had been full of various bizarre events.

Thinking of the people around her, including some things Jiang Tang had told her, it wasn't hard for her to guess.

But now, she was still somewhat worried about Jiang Tang: "Then where is he? Is he injured? That's why he can't come back?"

Old Wang shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "It shouldn't be. I don't know the specifics of what's going on with him; I can only say that he made a choice himself, and his current situation is safe. However, if he comes back, remember to tell us; we have also lost contact with him."

"There is one more thing you must remember: every two days, you must bring the child to this address. Don't go to school for a while recently."

"Don't go searching for things randomly on the internet if there's nothing to do; don't try to understand anything you're curious about. Just watch TV, play with the child, put away your curiosity, and wait for the official notification or for me to notify you."

"Remember, curiosity killed the cat. If you have any problems, remember to call me. Old Jiang isn't here, but I am."

As he spoke, he put down a business card, which had the information of the Night Watcher branch on it.

Xu Miao pursed her lips and nodded: "Thank you."

Old Wang put on his coat, bit on a cigarette, and shook his head helplessly: "Sigh, I tried to persuade him, but at the time he was focused on saving his daughter. I understand, and you should understand him too. If there is a next time, I definitely won't let him go alone."

They had been good brothers for decades; he hadn't stopped him this time, but there wouldn't be a next time.

At worst, they would go in together.

I have no children, I have no attachments; this kind of thing should be handled by me to help you.

Old Wang left; when he left the community, someone happened to pass by.

He stared at Old Wang, his hands clenched together, feeling very helpless in his heart.

He turned and went upstairs, stood outside the familiar anti-theft door, reached out his right hand, easily opened the door, and then walked in cautiously.

The mother and daughter were sleeping soundly on the bed; Jiang Tang sat beside them, staring at them for a long, long time.

Then he got up and left.

For him now, leaving was a form of protection.

At the time of parting, he stood at the door, looking at the fish kept in the water tank.

After a moment of silence, he reached out, rubbed his two fingers together, finally placed them on his forehead, forcibly tore open that crack, and endured the severe pain to gouge out the eyeball.

The severe pain made his whole body tremble, but no blood flowed out.

Until this Wasteland Gaze was dug out by him and put into the water tank.

According to his consciousness, this eyeball drilled directly into the mouth of this dragon fish.

Usually, you can't see this eyeball, but as long as you squat down and look at its mouth and throat seriously, you can see a red eyeball blocking its throat.

Even if doing this will make the eyeball more and more serious, this is the only way I can protect you for now.

He got up and walked out.

He was muddled, but he clearly knew that he was still the same Night Watcher as before; this was his faith, which had never changed from beginning to end.

Even though he had now become a ghost slave of the Demon Bear, this thought would not change.

And, the Demon Bear seemed... not as bad as everyone thought.

"Hehe, that's right." Another eyeball suddenly popped out of the hole in his forehead, his expression becoming strange: "The Demon Bear just wants to change the world, to spread fear throughout the world; he is not bad."

"No, what's wrong with me?"
