Zifeng drove directly from the Hospital and got into the car.
"I think you need to tell me what happened last night," Zifeng said calmly while driving, glancing at Xia Xiaoyu's exhausted face in the rearview mirror.
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Zifeng's back and then slumped down, recalling the events of last night. She recounted everything that had happened in detail.
"I was careless last night. If I hadn't fallen asleep, this wouldn't have happened..." Xu Qian said regretfully.
"This isn't your fault. Even if you hadn't fallen asleep, that thing would have found a way to distract you or confuse her. The Hospital is inherently a place with heavy negative energy, which only gave that thing more opportunities..."
"But why didn't it target Xia Xiaoyu? If it really wanted to harm her, it had plenty of chances last night, even when you might not have been there. It could have easily harmed her..."
Xu Qian was puzzled by this. From the moment Xia Xiaoyu encountered strange occurrences, there had been at least three hours during which anything could have happened to her.
"I don't know; this situation is already complicated..."
Zifeng did not turn around but simply stated this matter-of-factly.
"By the way, did you find out anything about Qingshui Village?" Xu Qian suddenly remembered that Zifeng mentioned going to Qingshui Village.
"Um..."
Hearing Xu Qian's question, Zifeng's voice suddenly became much steadier. After a moment, he said, "That place is a bit strange. The entire village has been relocated for a year, but when I went there at night, I felt a faint wave of spiritual energy... Guess what I discovered?"
"Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me what you found!" Xu Qian urged impatiently.
"I found an ancient well behind the house where Wang Xiaojia lived, near the forest... and inside the well, I discovered three corpses. If I'm not mistaken, those three corpses are the vengeful spirits that Xia Xiaoyu encountered... they are Wang Xiaojia's parents..."
Xia Xiaoyu's expression turned serious, and Xu Qian frowned before asking, "How could this happen? How did they die in the ancient well?"
"It's witchcraft—witchcraft that has been passed down in Nanyang. The well's mouth was sealed with witchcraft; they couldn't be reincarnated and became lost souls. Moreover, since their bodies are in the well, their souls can't leave either. So at night, the three of them wander around that village or in the forest... they can't escape that place..."
Zifeng also frowned, looking quite troubled. This matter was indeed complicated.
"Witchcraft? What is that?"
Xu Qian was confused by this unfamiliar term...
"It's a barbaric technique passed down in Nanyang. The practitioners are called witches. Witches are somewhat similar to us; however, they are born with innate abilities as Ability Users. They possess extraordinary talents that grant them unimaginable powers. Witches have strict requirements for their practice. But the key question is why Wang Xiaojia's family is connected to witches, why they were trapped using witchcraft after their deaths, how they died, and who that witch could be."
A witch alone wouldn't make Zifeng feel so troubled because Ability Users and witches are not on the same level. The biggest issue now is their cause of death and how many other matters it involves.
