I immediately waved my hand, "What are you thinking? Of course, I won't let you go to your death. Do you think you can just rush in and kill this Ghost Fetus?"
Yang Gou Dan nodded, "I only have this one Golden Buddha Seal. To kill the Ghost Fetus, I would have to personally get close and drive the Golden Buddha Seal into its brain's fatal spot. But the Corpse Poison on the Ghost Fetus is too strong; I can't withstand it right now."
I quickly said, "You can let me go. Just imprint your Golden Buddha Seal on my hand, and I'll take care of it. How about that?"
"You?" Yang Gou Dan paused for a moment, "Song Fei, please don't act so saintly. I can't even withstand the Corpse Poison from the Buddha; you definitely can't either. We should just run."
I extended my hand, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't get myself killed." Honestly, I was quite confident. Although I was a rookie, I wasn't afraid of the Corpse Poison at all. After all, I was born in a grave; I've seen my fair share of storms.
Yang Gou Dan was still hesitating when suddenly the Ghost Fetus began to struggle more violently, threatening to break free from the Golden Buddha Seal at any moment.
"Stop thinking! I told you I won't die. What are you afraid of? Hurry up! If the Ghost Fetus breaks free, we're both done for."
"Alright then." Yang Gou Dan stopped hesitating. He bit his tongue again and spat a mouthful of blood into my right palm. Then he traced his slender fingers across my palm, and with a hum, a brilliant golden light burst forth from my right hand!
It was a swastika-shaped Buddha seal; this was probably the only Buddhist hand gesture Yang Gou Dan knew how to use.
Suddenly, I felt as if my right hand had transformed into a superhuman fist; it seemed that with one strike, I could shatter even stone.
This feeling of power in my hand was exhilarating!
I swallowed hard and stopped pondering further as I walked toward the large-headed Ghost Fetus.
The Ghost Fetus suddenly turned its head to look at me. Its infant-like face bore fierce eyes reminiscent of an eagle's. When those eyes met mine, I felt paralyzed; every muscle in my body, including those responsible for breathing and even my heart, seemed to freeze.
A single glance could kill!
I barely had time to close my eyes before my entire body turned cold.
At that moment, the sounds of galloping hooves, shouts of battle, and cries filled my mind.
Suddenly, I became alert. Instead of looking into the eyes of the Ghost Fetus, I strode forward and approached it.
"You dare..." the Ghost Fetus hissed at me, its surrounding thick black mist wrapping around me.
I completely ignored it.
The Swastika Buddha Seal enveloped the Ghost Fetus, but to me, that seal seemed non-existent. It was likely effective only against ghosts and evil entities, not humans.
I raised my hand, took a deep breath, and struck down at the Ghost Fetus's forehead.
According to Yang Gou Dan, this was its weak point.
"Impossible, you can't... Boom!"
The Ghost Fetus continued to scream, probably wondering why I wasn't afraid of the Corpse Poison and Ghostly Energy emanating from it.
But I didn't wait for it to finish shouting; I struck with my palm.
There was an explosion.
Then the Ghost Fetus's head burst open, releasing a thick cloud of black mist. The mist rolled and churned, and at that moment, the Ghost Fetus suddenly shot away with a whoosh, diving into the drain inside the house and vanishing instantly.
"What the hell! It didn't die!" I exclaimed, and at the same time, the overwhelming power in my palm dissipated.
"What the hell! You didn't die!" Yang Gou Dan rushed over, grabbing my arm and circling around me to look.
I pushed him away, saying, "Nonsense, of course I'm not dead. I'm with you, so I'll be fine. However, that Ghost Fetus had its head blown off and is still alive."
Yang Gou Dan looked at me as if I were a monster. Then he said, "That creature has already cultivated to a high level; it's quite formidable. The Swastika Buddha Seal I drew on your hand has at least halved its power, but it can't kill it. However, that's fine. Once I reawaken my Formless Buddha Beads, even if there are ten or a hundred Ghost Fetuses, they won't stand a chance against me."
I quickly interrupted Yang Gou Dan to stop him from boasting further.
Ouyang Shan approached, adjusting his hat. "Now we're in trouble. The Ghost Fetus has escaped; it must have returned to the water. If we don't kill it now, once it regains its strength, it will definitely come back for revenge."
Upon hearing this, I realized the situation was serious. "So what should we do? Should we go into the water and kill it?"
Yang Gou Dan shot me a glare. "Stop dreaming! I can't swim; I'd definitely be killed by that Ghost Fetus in the water."
I replied, "I'll rescue these people first, and then we can discuss our next steps."
I helped several people up, and everyone sat in the room looking somewhat terrified.
Ouyang Shan stayed close to Yang Gou Dan and said, "This is a bit troublesome. That Ghost Fetus is too powerful and holds grudges; it's intelligent. Among us, aside from Buddha, none of us are its match—it will surely kill us one by one."
Yang Gou Dan pinched his nose and said, "I believe I can protect you all at all times. How about this: you all come play games with me? There are five of us; we can form a team together, and then I can protect you."
I facepalmed and pushed Yang Gou Dan aside. "The only solution now is for us to go underwater and kill that severely injured Ghost Fetus. If we don't take it out now while it's weak, it will be impossible once it regains its strength."
"Going underwater is not an option; that's its lair—we wouldn't stand a chance," Ouyang Shan said. He glanced at Yang Gou Dan and respectfully asked, "Buddha, when will your Formless Buddha Beads be repaired?"
"I should be able to reawaken the Formless Buddha Beads tomorrow," Yang Gou Dan replied.
At this moment, Ouyang Shan surprisingly showed some cleverness. "Then let's go kill the Ghost Fetus tomorrow. Actually, I had already thought of this: although the Ghost Fetus is powerful, it's still just an infant and will act on instinct. We don't need to go underwater; we just need to lure it out. At that time, our master can slay the Ghost Fetus from the shore."
Hearing Ouyang Shan's words made me feel more confident. I turned to Yang Gou Dan and said, "You and Chi Xiang should head back first. Remember, it's important to focus on business—get your beads reawakened because we'll need them tomorrow night."
Yang Gou Dan nodded, "Got it, got it. Can the police uncle take me home? Where can I catch a taxi at night?"
Chen Shan stood up, "Sure, I'll take you."
Chi Xiang crawled out from under the table. I kicked Chi Xiang's backside and said, "Chi Xiang, you've caused a big mess this time. If you hadn't taken Dog Egg's prayer beads to flirt with girls and gotten them dirty, we wouldn't have so many problems. When we get back, you must watch Dog Egg re-consecrate his prayer beads. No gaming, understand?"
Chi Xiang scratched his head, "Don't worry, I know what's important."
Chen Shan and Dog Egg left while Ouyang Shan and I stayed at Wang Hanying's house to discuss our next plan.
I asked, "Ouyang Daozhang, should we use Aunt Wang as bait to lure that Ghost Fetus to the Water Surface?"
Ouyang Shan shook his head, "Aunt Wang isn't good bait. First, the Ghost Fetus has already seen her and knows she's with us; it won't easily fall for it. Second, the person the Ghost Fetus hates the most isn't her but its parents!"
"Parents?" I was puzzled.
Ouyang Shan explained, "That Ghost Fetus I've told you about can't be just a one or two-month-old embryo because at that stage it wouldn't have formed its own soul and consciousness, thus lacking such strong Resentment. This Ghost Fetus is an eight-month-old fetus. At this time, when it's most eager for new life, it was suddenly aborted by its mother. The Resentment is immense. So we just need to find the Ghost Fetus's parents and use them as bait."
Upon hearing this, I nodded repeatedly, "I didn't expect you to be quite insightful."
Ouyang Shan's face flushed slightly, "Well... actually, I caught a Ghost Fetus before. To deal with that one, I researched a lot of information to understand these things."
Just then, the sound of a motorcycle echoed outside, followed by a series of knocks on the door.
I went out and opened the door to see Qin Hai standing there.
Qin Hai grinned at me and said, "Hey, Captain Chen sent me to assist you guys. Don't worry, Song Fei; nothing can escape my Hai Ge's keen eye. With me around, any plan will succeed."
I didn't want to dampen this guy's enthusiasm, so I didn't go into detail about the ghost-catching process.
Wang Hanying felt a bit dizzy.
Ouyang Shan handed Wang Hanying a sip of water and asked, "Wang family’s eldest daughter, don’t faint yet. I need to ask you, did your clinic perform an abortion on an eight-month pregnant woman?" Ouyang Shan's expression was serious.
Wang Hanying waved her hand, "No, I... well, there was one. That patient was the first abortion patient at my clinic."
"Really? Think carefully about what happened," Ouyang Shan urged.
Wang Hanying thought for a moment and said, "At that time, my clinic had been open for over a year and wasn’t making much money because most of the patients had minor ailments. One day, a girl came into my clinic; she was visibly distressed and heavily pregnant. She wanted to terminate her pregnancy. I couldn't agree to that; it was dangerous. I told her to go to the Large Hospital and bring her family along. But she pleaded with me and cried continuously. I felt so sorry for her that I eventually agreed. I bought some basic Surgical Instruments online and performed the Surgical Abortion for her. She recovered well and paid me two thousand yuan for the medical fees. That was when I realized that performing abortions wasn’t as dangerous as I thought, so I started doing Black Abortions and later took on other procedures as well. My clinic began to earn more money."
Ouyang Shan nodded, "That makes sense. The first baby that died was this Ghost Fetus. The Ghost Fetus harbored resentment, and when it absorbed the resentment from the later fetuses, it gained its current power."
