"Having said that, what exactly is the matter?" Jiang Wen sat on his sword, looking at the two ghosts. Compared to the ghosts he had encountered in the mortal world, these two were clearly more in line with people's terrifying imaginations.
However, at this moment, they were both crouching in front of Jiang Wen, their figures trembling, afraid to speak carelessly.
"Real person, you may not know, I am not a ghost infant. I am actually a form born of resentment. This good fortune is purely accidental," the ghost infant said softly as he walked on his little legs to Jiang Wen's side. He explained how he had awakened and how he had entered the belly of this drowned person.
It turned out that the ghost infant was not a ghost in the traditional sense, but a gathering of drowned infants in the Nan Yue River. Although Nan Yue is considered a large country in Southeast Asia, its sex industry is even more developed than that of the coastal area. The 'Southeast Asian pleasure district' is truly well-deserved.
Consequently, there are many abortions here, and newborn drowned infants can be seen in the Nan Yue River every day.
Originally, this was not a big deal, but due to the changes in the heavens, the world began to change. In a daze, the resentment of those drowned infants gathered together, eventually forming a conscious ghost infant.
The ghost infant was originally full of resentment and vowed to seek revenge. Later, a woman committed suicide by drowning and happened to encounter the ghost infant.
Seeing that there was a small child in the woman's belly, the ghost infant attached itself to her body. In the end, it was connected to the woman, becoming a very special existence.
"Real person, I should not exist in this world. It is only because of the resentment of all living beings that I came into being. Although I can be born with knowledge, I understand that my actions are defying fate. But I am born of the resentment of infants, and I cannot bear to see unborn children die again, so I possessed this woman's body," the ghost infant said respectfully, while the female ghost beside him could only sob softly.
After hearing these words, Jiang Wen was both skeptical and convinced. Such an existence was indeed a bit strange, but what was the purpose of the ghost infant's great efforts?
Feeling puzzled, he inquired about it. The ghost infant bowed again and said, "There is still a living infant in this woman's belly. I hope that the real person will intervene and not let her lose her life."
"So you have been protecting the fetus in her womb?" Jiang Wen asked in astonishment.
Such a rare and extraordinary event was truly rare. He never thought that he would one day encounter a ghost protecting a fetus. Looking at the woman again, facial features appeared on her originally blank face. Being the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, she was indeed a beauty. Now she was just sitting quietly on the grave, sobbing softly.
"Yes," the ghost infant said, cupping his little hands. "My actions are only to hope that the child in this woman's belly can survive."
After a moment of silence, he continued, "But I can't hold on for much longer. Although I am transformed from the resentment of all, I will eventually run out of strength. I hope that the real person can help me and fulfill my and this woman's wish."
As soon as he landed, he saw the Wang family still kneeling on the ground. When they saw Jiang Wen return, their faces were filled with joy.
"Real person, is there good news?!" The Wang family's master stepped forward to ask.
Jiang Wen nodded and told him the story of the ghost infant. Everyone who heard this outrageous story felt it was magical. But thinking about what they had encountered today, they felt it was normal.
Since ghosts could appear, what else could not be understood?
However, understanding was understanding, but the Wang family members still felt uncomfortable. After all, anyone who had to raise a child who jumped out of a dead person's belly would be scared.
Thinking about the woman who had been dead for several months, and still able to give birth to a child in her belly, what was this if not a horror movie? What exactly was the child that was born? Would it bring disaster to the whole family when it grew up? Even the always open-minded and bold Wang family master was silent.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Wen understood why the ghost infant would scare these people. Most likely, the ghost infant had asked them to save people before, but these people had just treated it as a nightmare. Unable to get help and with the time to protect the child running out, the ghost infant would do such scary things in desperation.
After all, if it really wanted to harm people, with the ghost infant's abilities, it would probably not have waited for him to subdue it, and the Wang family would have all died long ago.
After all, a ghost infant that could protect a fetus must have some skills.
The difference between ghosts is similar to the difference between cultivators and mortals. Once they have skills, the difference is like heaven and earth. Not to mention harming a few people, even creating a terrorist incident in this city, few people would be able to do anything about the ghost infant.
Thinking of these things, Jiang Wen sighed slightly in his heart. He looked at the Wang family, all with fearful expressions. Understanding that they were unwilling to accept this child, just as he was about to say something, he saw a young man emerge from the crowd, kneel in front of the Wang family master, and kowtow, "Dad! That's Qianqian's child! It's my child! Please let him live!"
"But..." The Wang family master hesitated.
"Dad! Your son begs you! Your son is willing to take the child to live in another country. From now on, I will never step into the Wang family's door again, I only beg you to show mercy and let me see the unborn child!" The young man who spoke was the Wang family's second son, also the man whose wife had died.
He cried and wailed,趴 on the ground, constantly kowtowing to the Wang family master: "I beg you, Dad! Your son only asks for this one thing!"
"You..." The Wang family master sighed to the sky. After a long silence, he finally agreed. After all, who told the one kneeling on the ground to be his son?
So, amidst the Wang family's unwillingness, the woman's coffin was opened.
Looking at the still fresh person in the coffin, the Wang family's second young master couldn't help but cry out loud. They were newlyweds, who knew they would encounter such a disaster. Now they were separated by heaven and earth, but there was still a child in her womb.
For the matter of dissecting a dead person's abdomen, few people in the entire city were willing to take on this job.
However, the world ultimately belongs to reason. After the Wang family raised the price to nearly seven figures, people who were not afraid of death still stood up.
The one who took over this job was a retired gynecologist. With a poor family and being old, she decided to risk her life.
After all, being a person in this world, death is not really scary. Sometimes, being without money is more terrifying than death.
The doctor carefully cut open the woman's belly. The skin that should have bled had no blood at all. Jiang Wen stood there and saw the doctor open the belly.
And in that belly, a fair and tender baby girl was sleeping soundly, with sufficient amniotic fluid.
Everyone present was silent. No one had expected such a scene. The doctor took the child out of the belly, lightly patted the baby's butt, and heard a loud cry.
"It's a girl," the doctor wrapped the child well, held her out, and placed her in front of the Wang family's young master.
The second young master held the baby girl, weeping with joy, constantly kissing the baby girl's forehead, crying and saying, "That's great, that's great!"
Jiang Wen looked at all of this and felt that the real world was indeed more interesting than horror movies. Sometimes, stories are so legendary.
He looked at the coffin again and saw the ghost infant waving at him.
"I'm leaving! I have a strong feeling of returning!" The ghost infant smiled. "Thank you for being willing to help me! You are such a good person!"
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye." Jiang Wen waved at the coffin. When he came back to his senses, there was no one around.
Seeing the Wang family members who were far away from him, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
These people are not even as good as ghosts.
