It was dayti when I woke up. I ran to find my wife and wanted to leave imdiately, but she completely ignored . No one in the family listened to . I couldnt leave them and run off by myself, and could only endure fearfully. It didnt appear again. However, I felt that the people around werent quite right. My family was acting strange. Not only were they more excessive than normal, my wife was even exchanging glances with the innkeeper. That innkeeper was also abnormally gloomy. It made feel they were different people. I wasnt sure if this was it ssing around, and decided to bear with it. This lasted until our vacation was over and we could finally leave.
But I didnt expect it to have followed back.
By the ti I realized this, my fear and despair had reached a breaking point. When I opened the fridge, it would turn into a waterlon and laugh at . When I entered the bedroom, it would turn into the pillow and laugh at . When I went to the toilet, it laughed at in the mirror. When I went to the kitchen, it turned into various foods and laughed at . Even though I used a knife to cut it up several tis, it would still twist around and laugh at . It seed to be laughing at the huge joke that was my life. I was no longer able to endure and sought help from the heavens, and from many who claid to be able to banish ghosts. However, it was all useless. When I told my family, they said I was crazy. In reality, I felt they were the crazy ones. They were still as weird as they were back at the historical village. They would often get into fierce disagreents with . Afterwards, sothing happened that made co to a realization.
That ti, I had just had a fierce argunt with my wife in the bedroom and went to get a breather on the balcony. I ended up seeing my wife downstairs talking to our neighbor. The other wife was still cursing loudly behind . Only then did I realize it had turned into other people to trick . The weird family mbers were all it!
With this realization, I decided to get rid of it. For the sake of protecting this family who didnt need , I had to get rid of it. But since it was a ghost, how was I supposed to do so? Right as I was stuck, I heard about a peasant woman in the suburbs who had divine powers that were especially effective. The talismans she drew were able to eradicate ghosts and demons. Therefore, I ticulously prepared a Cuban machete and hurried over from afar. I used the money I got from selling blood as well as so that was stolen from my wife to ask her to draw a ghost exterminating talisman on the blade. I didnt know if it would work, but I had to try as long as there was a trace of hope.
I endured as it turned into all sorts of shapes to tornt , waiting for the right opportunity. Finally, my wife found out that I had taken her money and we had another huge argunt. Then, she took her family out to eat, leaving alone at ho and only coming back late at night. However, I knew that wasnt her, but rather it in the shape of her. This was because she wasnt dry and warm like normal people, but cold and clammy. I wanted to wait until she was asleep to kill it, but I was too nervous and startled it awake. It still wanted to trick using my wifes appearance. I pounced over and hacked at her. It might have been frightened of the chard blade, and turned into my in-laws and my son to try and grab it. I thus killed them all.
But when I was hacking at my son, I suddenly wasnt able to finish the job. Perhaps it was due to the bond between father and son. As I was hesitating, he jumped from the balcony to survive. I quivered and my heart twisted. I got the chills, and didnt dare consider that I had mistakenly killed my family. That was when the TV suddenly turned on by itself and it spoke to from inside. It said that ghosts give off dark smoke when their heads were cut off, and suggested I try it. My mind was a ss and I was compelled to start cutting their heads off. However, none of them gave off dark smoke, not a single one. I had killed my family. I had personally killed my family. It had been deceiving this entire ti. It was all part of its trick. It wanted to commit this heinous cri!
It was very pleased. It laughed loudly until the police arrived. But why did it deceive !? Why did it harm ? Why didnt it just kill us, why did it have to deceive ! It deceived ! It deceived ! It deceived !
Li Jing Mings long recollection ca to an end and he suddenly started getting worked up. Ruan Zhan swiftly stood up and tapped the center of his brows with a finger, making him calm down a little.
Hurry, Im no longer able to keep that ghost sealed.
I was just saying stuff randomly before. Are you really unable to keep it sealed for long? Xiao Xia was shocked. She checked to see if the officer had been startled. Did I jinx it?
Dont forget, Im just a priest you invited over. Also, my RPG level is very low.
Lives are at stake here, dont ss around. I apologize, alright?
Im serious.
Really!? Then what do we do? Ruan Zhan didnt seem to be joking and Xiao Xia suffered quite the blow.
Ask whatever other questions you have. Well figure sothing out after leaving.
I guess thats all we can do. Xiao Xia looked at Li Jing Ming in defeat. Are you still able to answer questions?
Yes. Li Jing Ming endured the pain in his chest as he spoke.
You realized you killed your family. Was this why you tried to commit suicide?
Yes.
But why did you keep silent afterwards? And why did you calmly accept when they declared you were ntally sound?
Because it turns out it had never left , even while I was imprisoned. It said unless I got the death penalty, it would kill my son. I knew Shu Lun was still alive. I had to protect him.
Then why did you ask for help the last ti I ca? That was you, right? Or was that it ssing around?
That was . At least, at first that was . Afterwards, I dont really rember much. It had probably co out to hurt people. For so reason, after its been inside for a while, Ive been able to hear so of its thoughts even though I dont know when it cos out and when its controlling . Therefore, I realized it was still lying to . It isnt willing to let any of my blood remain in this world. Whats scarier is that it wants to occupy Shu Luns body. I was desperate and you were my only lifeline. Therefore, Im sorry. I must have terrified you and also brought you trouble. However, I really have no one else to turn to. Actually, I do want to die. That way, Ill also beco a ghost and will be able to reach it. Ill at least be able to protect Shu Lun and prevent it from harming him.
You wouldnt be able to help anyone either if you die. Ruan Zhan said callously, completely disregarding the other persons emotions. It isnt an ordinary spirit. You wont be able to overco it.
Then what should I do? What should I do? Priest? What should I do? Ruan Zhans words almost made Li Jing Ming despair.
Lawyer Yue will help you. Ruan Zhan pointed at Xiao Xia. Listen to everything she says. You just have to follow her instructions. Dont worry about the rest, well co up with sothing.
Lawyer Yue? Li Jing Ming looked at Xiao Xia, his eyes filled with hope.
Xiao Xia swallowed. She felt there was a large weight on her shoulders and was also at wits end.
