595: The ghost appears again

Hearing that Uncle Yue's condition was somewhat off, Yang Dian didn't delay and immediately had the Dimension Butterfly open a spatial gate leading to the Sanatorium.

As soon as he stepped out of the Sanatorium, Yang Dian felt something was amiss.

He glanced around the Sanatorium, which felt strangely cold despite the scorching September heat, then tapped his wristband twice:

"Zero, what's the situation at the Sanatorium right now?"

"I don't know." Zero's reply made Yang Dian frown.

"The moment the alarm sounded, all monitoring equipment in the Sanatorium was damaged."

"I hadn't even had a chance to report this information to you when you arrived at the Sanatorium ahead of me."

Just as Yang Dian was about to ask for more details, the Little Black Cat on his shoulder spoke first:

"Human, there's something tasty over there."

His gaze shifted to the direction indicated by the Little Black Cat's paw, and Yang Dian's pupils contracted slightly.

That was the direction of Wang Wu's residence.

In fact, several months ago, Wang Wu had already completely controlled the parasites within his body, or rather, the parasites that formed his body, and could have been discharged.

However, to avoid any accidents that might harm his beloved daughter, Wang Wu proactively requested to stay in the Sanatorium for a few more months, ensuring there would be no problems and the parasites wouldn't go out of control before he was discharged.

"Now, the only things Little Black Cat calls 'tasty' are catnip and 'ghosts'."

"So, Uncle Yue targeted Director Wang?"

His voice still echoed in the air, but Yang Dian's body had already blurred into a fading afterimage, vanishing from his original spot.

The Sanatorium's backyard.

Upon reaching the backyard, Yang Dian discovered that over 60 staff members and 7 special patients from the Sanatorium were gathered inside and outside Wang Wu's courtyard, forming an orderly circle, their eyes coldly fixed on Wang Wu, whose aura was chaotic, inside the courtyard.

These people not only had cold eyes, but also exuded a strange aura that Yang Dian had never perceived before.

It was precisely these strange auras that made their presence blend with their surroundings, preventing Yang Dian's Divine Thought from 'identifying' them immediately.

'A Formation?'

'Ghost possession?'

Subconsciously thinking of this possibility, he reached out and scratched the Little Black Cat's chin, then gestured towards those people:

"Is there any way to deal with whatever is on those people?"

The Little Black Cat kneaded Yang Dian's shoulder once, then leaped up:

"Meow ~"

With an excited meow, those surrounding Wang Wu's courtyard, as well as Wang Wu himself, whose aura was chaotic inside the courtyard, all trembled involuntarily, as if they had encountered a natural predator or been startled.

"Little Black Cat's ghost-eating talent..."

Before his sigh of emotion had faded, Yang Dian saw the Little Black Cat had already jumped onto the courtyard's fence, opening its mouth to the sky as if to swallow.

Hiss ~

Ow ~

Whoosh ~

A sudden wail, seemingly from the Soul, erupted, and the chilling aura filling the courtyard transformed into strands of black wisps, flowing in succession into Little Black Cat's mouth.

It wasn't just the Sanatorium.

Watching the black smoke emerge from the seven orifices of the crowd and similarly enter Little Black Cat's mouth, Yang Dian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

'So where did these ghosts come from?'

'Were they left behind when the Heavenly Dao of Ghosts invaded Earth, or from the great unified survival will within Uncle Yue?'

While contemplating, Yang Dian sensed Little Black Cat's aura surge sharply, jumping from the early stage of the Transcendent Realm to the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm.

'It looks like I'll have to find more ghosts for it to eat in the future?'

The thought had just crossed his mind when the chilling aura filling the courtyard vanished, and most of the people collapsed limply to the ground as if their tendons had been removed.

Only their steady rising and falling chests, and their relaxed brows, indicated that they seemed to be fine now.

Only a few Martial Artists who had stepped into the Transcendent Realm shuddered, then regained their senses, looked around, and saw Yang Dian hovering in mid-air:

Wu Qian, Director of Sanatorium, her expression changed slightly, then she quickly warned:

"General Yang, be careful! There's a 'ghost' in the Sanatorium that can blind our six senses and drain our vital essence!"

As Wu Qian spoke, Wang Wu, who was sitting on a stone stool in the courtyard, also opened his eyes and looked at Yang Dian:

"There is a 'ghost', and this ghost is very powerful. It can not only blind the six senses, but also contend with a person's physical instincts."

"The moment I was blinded by the 'ghost', I wanted to activate the Beneficial Worm's instincts, but the Beneficial Worm's instincts were also suppressed."

"I could only fight it with the willpower I developed when contending with the Beneficial Worm."

The Beneficial Worm was the parasite transferred from the underground Tyrannosaurus Rex to Wang Wu.

The Research Institute had given it many names, but Wang Wu rejected them all.

He said those names were too scary and would frighten children.

Ultimately, under the reasoning that 'after controlling the parasite, it would not only cause no harm to humans but also greatly enhance the host's strength,' he named the parasite the Beneficial Worm.

Looking at the few people inside and outside the courtyard who were on high alert, Yang Dian beckoned to the Little Black Cat and said:

"The ghosts that entered your bodies and suppressed your Souls and flesh have been eaten by the Ink Qilin."

The Little Black Cat, its belly bulging, raised its head somewhat proudly.

At home, people could call him Little Black Cat, and he was happy to accept that affectionate name from humans.

But in front of others, especially after he had done something important, he also liked humans to call him by his full name.

Receiving astonished gazes from the others, the Little Black Cat, with a slight push of its paw, precisely jumped onto Yang Dian's shoulder.

Just as he felt the somewhat proud little fellow rub his neck twice with its head, Yang Dian heard it speak again:

"Human, I'm a bit full from eating and want to sleep."

"If there's more tasty food, you call me."

Saying this, it had already curled itself into a ball and was lying on Yang Dian's shoulder, snoring.

Reaching out, Yang Dian took Little Black Cat from his shoulder and held it in his arms. He ignored the Little Orca, which was circling him, whimpering, and though he didn't know what it was saying, he could guess it was likely along the lines of 'I want to earn merit too.' He then looked at Wu Qian, Director of Sanatorium, and asked:

"Director Wu, can you tell me what happened here?"

Wu Qian exchanged glances with the deputy director, Yang Lei, then revealed without reservation:

"Not long ago, the Seal space that sealed Director Yue Shan suddenly sounded an alarm. Director Yue Shan is a special target you specifically instructed us to care for, so we immediately retrieved the video related to the Seal space."

"Then, I just took one look at the video, and my consciousness was suppressed into a dark space. Aside from the 'ghostly entity' that suppressed me, I couldn't perceive any external information."

"I believe others were in the same situation as me."

Yang Lei, standing nearby, nodded:

"I experienced the same thing."

"And I could feel that 'ghostly entity' was devouring my life Origin."

As she spoke, a trace of lingering fear appeared on her face:

"If General Yang had arrived a few minutes later, perhaps none of us would have ever seen the sun again."

Yang Dian rubbed his temples:

"Just one look, and you were possessed by a ghost?"

Lost in thought, Yang Dian frowned and tapped his wristband twice:

"Zero, has that surveillance video been disseminated? Aside from the internal staff of the Sanatorium, have any other people seen it?"
