"What kind of formidable opponent did the corpse thief run into?" Ye Xingchen asked in confusion.
"Yes, what exactly is this thing?" Zhang Shih-hao pondered deeply, but couldn't figure it out.
"Let's get someone to handle this." Ye Xingchen realized he couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, so he decided to investigate again the next day.
“Okay, but I think someone must be practicing some kind of evil magic. But with such a commotion, it’s impossible for her to hide herself.” Zhang Shih-hao said, “I understand. Let’s go to a place with heavy yin energy tonight. Maybe we’ll find something.”
"The cemetery?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“I’m afraid the cemetery won’t work.” Zhang Shih-hao thought for a moment, “Because I feel that the evil magic the other party is practicing is not a soul magic, but more like a demonic magic.”
"Hospitals are places where people die frequently, so they have a heavy yin energy. Moreover, babies are born in hospitals, which are at the boundary between life and death."
"You might find something interesting by visiting a place like this."
"Alright, let's go take a look tomorrow." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Aren't you going to the Western Frontier?" Zhang Shih-hao asked.
"I was originally going to leave, but I won't feel at ease leaving until this matter is resolved." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "I'll leave after it's all settled. It won't take more than a few days."
Chen Roujin pushed open the door and entered the same dilapidated and dark house.
The three infant spirits around her were incredibly lively, constantly playing and frolicking, their clear, childlike voices sending chills down one's spine in the night.
Chen Roujin looked at the three infant spirits with gentle eyes, as if she were looking at her own children. She murmured, "Grow up quickly, my children, Mommy loves you."
"You went out to find food?" Yin Laoda's aged voice came from the dark corner.
"Let's find some food for the kids," Chen Roujin chuckled.
“Infant spirits can indeed grow rapidly by consuming the brains of living people, but this will also arouse the vigilance of so-called righteous people.”
Yin Laoda emerged from the shadows, his face serious: "There are rules in this world. Having power doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You need to be careful not to be targeted."
"The people I killed weren't good people either, so there's nothing to worry about," Chen Roujin said leisurely. "It's just a few lives, nothing to worry about."
"Good, ruthless enough, and cunning enough." Boss Yin looked at Chen Roujin approvingly: "But I still have to advise you to be careful in everything you do. If you are really targeted, it will be a very troublesome thing."
"I know, I know." Chen Roujin waved her hand impatiently, and with a wave of her right hand, she took the infant spirit back.
“You are indeed the most talented person I have ever met. It was worth all the time I spent teaching you everything I knew.” Boss Yin nodded.
"Did you really teach me everything from Yinshan?" Chen Roujin suddenly turned to Yin Laoda with a smile: "Master, you mustn't hold anything back."
“I am looking for a successor for our Yinshan lineage, so naturally I will not keep anything to myself.” Elder Yin slowly shook his head: “And you have indeed not disappointed me.”
"After a few more days, I can leave with peace of mind. Although you have extremely high comprehension, you still need time to grow."
At this point, Boss Yin suddenly frowned slightly, slowly pressed his hand to his chest, and then pressed down hard.
Upon pressing the button, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, as if he were in great pain.
However, he then let out a long sigh of relief, revealing a look of relief.
"Master, what's going on?" Chen Roujin looked at Yin Laoda curiously. She keenly sensed that Yin Laoda seemed to be hiding something from her.
"It's nothing, just some minor old injuries." Boss Yin's expression quickly returned to calm.
"What kind of old injury is it?" Chen Roujin pressed on.
"It's best not to ask what you shouldn't ask." Boss Yin's face hardened slightly, as if he was unwilling to bring up such a matter.
He turned and slowly left, but Chen Roujin stared at his figure and clearly noticed that his legs were unsteady.
Her gaze suddenly softened; her master's old injury seemed quite serious, and his strength had decreased by at least a third compared to usual.
"Also, I'll teach you something else." Boss Yin stopped and said calmly, "No matter what, never easily reveal your weaknesses to others."
"Otherwise, others will exploit this weakness to attack you, and then, the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin."
"Understood, thank you for your teachings, Master. I will remember them." Chen Roujin nodded slowly, but her gaze grew increasingly cold.
Another day passed, and Ye Xingchen and Zhang Shihao appeared in various hospitals.
Zhang Shih-hao opened his third eye and saw all sorts of people.
Those who have passed away, those who have been born, those who departed with a sense of relief, and those whose souls have been locked away yet who remain reluctant to leave this world.
The myriad aspects of life are vividly portrayed in the hospital at midnight.
Although Ye Xingchen also understood these things, he was not as professional as Zhang Shihao. Seeing all this, he was also somewhat shocked.
"First time meeting?" Zhang Shih-hao asked.
"Not really, but this is the first time I've seen so many ghosts." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
“Heh, we’re professional ghost hunters, we’ve seen this kind of thing quite often,” Zhang Shih-hao said with a chuckle. “These are nothing compared to what we’re seeing now.”
“Once, I went with some fellow disciples to a place to suppress a ghost. There were hundreds of ghosts walking around at night. That was a truly spectacular sight. These are just small-scale scenes compared to what I’m seeing now.”
"You deal with ghosts quite a lot, don't you?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Yes, quite a lot.” Zhang Shih-hao nodded.
"So, do you think it's more tiring to deal with people or ghosts in this world?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
“Of course, dealing with people is more tiring.” Zhang Shih-hao said without hesitation: “You don’t have to be so cunning when dealing with ghosts, but it’s different when dealing with people. You have to be on guard at all times.”
"If you're not careful, you could get stabbed in the back, and that would be incredibly painful."
"It seems you've been through the rough patch of society," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"Don't even mention it, it's a long story." Zhang Shih-hao shook his head, then forced himself to cheer up: "Let's go, let's keep looking ahead."
The two looked around but didn't find anything unusual.
Just as I was about to leave, a commotion arose in the ward, followed by a cry, and an elderly man emerged from the ward.
And he was none other than the legendary physician Yuan Zhengde.
A tall, straight-backed man gripped Yuan Zhengde's hand tightly: "Dr. Yuan, I beg you... you must think of a way to save my wife and children."
"Mr. Liu, I'm truly sorry, I've done my best, but I'm afraid I can't help with your wife and child's situation." Yuan Zhengde sighed softly.
