Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Eliminate the Evil_1

"Old Shu!"

Seeing you appear from the side of the corridor window, Yang Kai let out a kind of affectionate shout reminiscent of an old lover not seen for dozens of years. If it weren’t for the Ghost Infant wanting to devour someone at the door, Yang Kai would probably have dashed over to hug you and kiss you fiercely.

"Old Shu, be careful, this thing is very fast and incredibly strong!"

Liao Yong, enduring the intense pain from his back, hastily called out a warning.

At this moment, you stood silently in the middle of the corridor, looking up at the enormous Ghost Infant in front of you.

Your arrival caused the Ghost Infant to shift its target. It withdrew its hand from inside the laboratory and stared at you with lantern-sized eyes, then let out a strange, indistinct sound: "Gah... Gah..."

Finally having pinpointed the source of the sound, you couldn’t help but chuckle: "I’ve been searching for quite a while; so it was you making that noise, huh? Well, that makes things easier."

Originally, you had thought there might be other unclean things in the laboratory, so you had been searching for the source of the sound. But now, having confirmed that the noise came from the huge Ghost Infant in front of you, you didn’t hesitate and immediately extended your left hand.

At that moment, under the watchful eyes of the five people in the laboratory, they saw you reach out your left hand into the air and grasp at nothing. Then, countless golden threads began to coil, forming a golden longbow in your left hand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Gah!"

The Giant Ghost Infant let out a shrill scream the instant the longbow took shape, its enormous palm slamming down towards you!

Your right thumb was similarly entwined with golden threads, forming a golden jade thumb ring. Without hesitation, you reached out to draw the string of the golden longbow, and a golden feather arrow rapidly took form!

"Old Shu!"

Seeing the Ghost Infant’s hand reaching out to strike you, Wei Shuxian and the others urgently yelled out.

"Eliminate the Evil!"

With a low shout from you, the golden arrow shot forth, carrying an immense aura as it pierced through the Giant Ghost Infant’s hand, instantly penetrating its entire body!

"Wuwah—Wuwah—"

The Giant Ghost Infant dissipated within the golden light, replaced by a small infant lying on the cold floor.

"Huh—"

You let out a long sigh of relief.

"Old Shu, are you all right?"

Wei Shuxian and the others hurriedly ran out.

"I’m fine, but we still have one more thing to take care of."

Having said that, you slowly walked towards the crying infant on the floor.

The arrow that you had just shot had almost exhausted all your strength, making your steps slow.

When you reached the infant, you extended your arms to pick it up from the ground.

"What are you going to do with it?"

Liu Qing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at the infant in your arms.

She was filled with regret. She regretted listening to the sweet nothings woven by Zhou Xingjian; she regretted giving her most precious virtue so thoughtlessly to a scoundrel who couldn’t even bear the most basic responsibilities; she regretted even more that in her panic, she had believed Zhou Xingjian’s words and had her own flesh and blood brutally terminated on the cold operating table of a private clinic.

You looked at Liu Qing, then down at the infant in your arms, and said with a smile, "I’m naturally going to send it where it needs to go. And you don’t need to cry; this little one isn’t your child."

"What!?"

Upon hearing your words, everyone looked at you with a gaze filled with utter astonishment.

"Impossible, how could it not be Liu Qing’s child?"

"Right, does that mean everything we’ve done here was in vain?"

Only Wei Shuxian remained silent, looking down at the baby in your arms. After careful examination, he spoke up, "Could it be that this little guy has been in the experimental building from the start?"

As the brain of your supernatural detective society, you said with a smile, "Glasses guessed correctly. This infant has existed in the experimental building all along, and is also an earthbound spirit."

"Earthbound spirit?"

"What’s that?"

"Ignorant, uneducated!"

You smack Yang Kai and Zong Wangyue on the heads, giving each a ’pot cover’ knock.

Wei Shuxian, with a hidden smile, explained to the two, "An earthbound spirit is the soul of a person who, due to some specific reason after death, gets bound within a certain area, forever unable to leave. These types of spirits are quite common, and because they are too obsessed, Ghosts don’t bother with them."

"Oh, I see."

The two nodded like good students.

You glanced at them wordlessly, then said, "Let’s go. Since we’ve stumbled upon this, let’s be thorough in our kindness and see it through to the end."

"Go where?" Yang Kai asked another question.

Seeing you turn to look at him, he took a step back with a heh-heh smile.

You looked down at the baby in your arms and said lightly, "Judging by its appearance, this infant is less than seven months old, probably a preemie. Its mind isn’t developed yet, and since it’s an earthbound spirit, there’s only one possibility – its corpse must be hidden somewhere in the experimental building."

"No way, who is so twisted as to hide a child in the experimental building?" Zong Wangyue suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively stepped forward, making Liao Yong and Liu Qing fall back behind him.

You looked at Liu Qing, then lifted your head toward the full moon above, sighing, "There are too many irresponsible people in this world. Today is the sixteenth of August, the day of the year with the strongest yin energy. This Ghost Infant probably appeared because it sensed a woman’s scent. If we find its corpse, we could get Ghost to have it reincarnated."

"Well, that’s great. Let’s get going."

"Wait a minute." Just as you were about to step away, Liu Qing suddenly spoke up.

"What’s the matter?" Yang Kai turned back to look at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment before gathering the courage to ask, "Then... what about my child?"

Yang Kai and Zong Wangyue looked at each other as if just remembering their original task, and both asked you at the same time, "Old Shu, if the Ghost Infant in your hands isn’t it, then where is Liu Qing’s child?"

You casually replied, "Oh, that little thing? When I was coming up the stairs just now, I saw it following its father."

"Its father?"

Yang Kai and Zong Wangyue looked at each other then exclaimed simultaneously, "Zhou Xingjian!"

"Heh, hehehe, things are getting interesting now," Zong Wangyue couldn’t help but take delight in the troublesome turn of events.

Yang Kai shook his head, saying, "Forget about fifty thousand, not even for five million would I do this anymore!"

You took a couple of steps, then turned back to the group and said, "Since we’ve taken on the job, we have to finish it; it’s a matter of reputation. However, considering Zhou Xingjian’s poor character, let’s let father and son have a few days together. Later, I will personally capture it and hand it over to Ghost, to let it enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"Yeah, that’s a must." Wei Shuxian looked at Liao Yong beside him, showing concern, "Black Bull, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just a little scrape."

Saying this, Liao Yong symbolically took a few steps, but the motion pulled at the wound on his back, and he started to topple over. Just in time, Liu Qing quickly stepped forward to support him, asking, "Big guy, are you okay?"
