Chen Gang did not believe me. "Li Ling, what trick are you trying to pull this time?"
Tears streamed down my face. "I really am not lying to you. I know that Grandma is being haunted by Xiao Xuan's ghost. I want to help you."
"I have a relative who came back to find me after he died. After I helped him move on, he was reborn."
"As long as the deceased possess me and fulfill their wishes, they will leave us alone."
Chen Gang sneered, "What if their wish is for the living to die?"
I replied, "That’s impossible. The dead cannot decide the fate of the living."
Chen Gang stared at me for a long time without saying a word.
Suddenly, Grandma stood up and knelt in front of me, bowing her head several times forcefully.
She lifted her head, her face covered in blood. "Li Ling, I know you are extraordinary. If Xiao Xuan's ghost really comes, I will bear all the sins. Please spare my son."
A hint of emotion appeared in Chen Gang's eyes.
He helped Grandma up. "Mom, don’t do this. I believe Li Ling; she will definitely help you find Xiao Xuan's ghost."
He turned to me and asked, "Li Ling, what do we need to do?"
The three of us sat around the coffee table in the west room.
I picked up a bracelet and placed it on the table. "You each need to drop a drop of blood on this bracelet, then close your eyes and wait for Xiao Xuan's ghost to appear."
Chen Gang followed my instructions, biting his finger and letting a drop of blood fall onto the bracelet.
Grandma also bit her finger and dropped a drop of blood.
They both closed their eyes while sitting around the coffee table.
I lowered my voice, "No matter what happens, you must not open your eyes."
"If you lie, the resentment of the deceased will grow stronger, and I don’t know what will happen then."
At 3:04 AM, we sat around the coffee table.
I kept glancing at my watch.
The time was almost up.
I whispered, "Xiao Xuan is here."
I imitated Xiao Xuan's voice, "Mom Chen, why did you want to kill me?"
Grandma trembled all over, "Xiao Xuan, I didn't mean to... please don't blame me..."
Chen Gang urged, "Mom, quickly tell her that you didn't mean to kill her."
Grandma said tremblingly, "Xiao Xuan, I just wanted Chen Gang to take a few pictures of you. I didn't expect you to come out and discover our secret..."
"I had no choice but to silence you..."
I asked, "Mom Chen, what is your secret?"
Grandma fell silent.
Her voice shook as she said, "Xiao Xuan, I didn't mean to kill you..."
"If you give my daughter a proper burial and bring her back, I will forgive you."
Grandma kept bowing her head repeatedly, "I will definitely fulfill your last wish..."
With a loud click, the lights turned on.
Chen Gang stood by the switch, coldly staring at me: "Li Ling, you really are just pretending."
He quickly walked up to me, grabbed my hair, and pushed me down to the ground:
"Damn it, you're not a Spiritual Medium; you're just using this method to trick us into admitting it."
He picked up a stick and struck my stomach hard. Grandma rushed over and grabbed my clothes.
I turned around and pushed Grandma down, gripping her collar tightly and slapping her repeatedly.
Chen Gang rushed in front of me and kicked me down to the ground.
Just as I was about to struggle, Chen Gang was already on top of me.
He tightened his grip around my neck: "Li Ling, do you want to die?"
My breathing became increasingly difficult, and my face turned red.
At that critical moment, a woman's crying came from outside the door.
