The stuff in my stomach was churning even more fiercely, and the pain made me give up thinking. In order to survive, I didn't care about the disgust I felt for that Blood hairpin. I opened the lid, reached in and took it out. Then, with all my strength, I threw it forcefully to the ground.
With a crisp sound, the hairpin broke in half.
"Ah!"
My stomach was fiercely kicked by something inside.
Dark red blood flowed from the broken jade hairpin, and a strong smell of blood spread out. I really felt like throwing up this time. The filth on the ground was simply unbearable.
"Song Ke! Quick, read it out loud!"
Chen Xuan seems even more anxious than I am.
I took the lid and squinted my eyes, struggling to make out the words on top.
"Their blood...nurtures...my sister's spirit."
The characters are too small!
I tried my best to steady my trembling hand:
"His...flesh...bearing my sister's body..."
"Don't say it!"
My brother's shout startled me, causing me to shiver and drop the wooden plaque to the ground.
When I looked towards the door, the man had already pushed it open.
"Hurry and finish reading! Then burn the miniature spirit tablet!"
"Koko! You can't read it! You can't read it!"
Two voices filled my ears.
I picked up the spirit tablet and held it tightly in my hand, then I pushed open the door and ran back to my room in one breath.
After locking the door, I collapsed to the ground on my knees.
"Koko! Open the door! Let me explain to you!"
The door was banged on by my brother, making a loud noise. I dragged my belly and crawled to the corner, curled up and sobbing.
What have I gotten myself into...
It just occurred to me that I don't have a lighter in my room at all. No one in my family smokes, so we don't have anything to light with!
"Sob... Master, I don't have fire at home, sob..."
"Don't worry, finish your recitation first." Chen Xuan has been comforting my emotions.
"I... I can't... I can't..." I held the spirit tablet with trembling hands, unable to see the words on it clearly. I had to place it on the chair and lean in to read. "Do not... do not leave... my body..."
"Koko! Don't read it! Don't read it!"
My brother's roar came from outside the door.
I covered my ears tightly with one hand and wiped away tears repeatedly with the other.
So annoying! There's always a layer of tears in my eyes, I can't see clearly at all!
"Seven seven... in the future... towards... towards the dust... today's soil."
"Koko! Please, brother, stop reciting!"
I cried heavily, and my speech became unclear:
"Chu chu yao... ru... ming."
"Song Ke! Speak more clearly!"
Chen Xuan Why so many requirements! It's already good if I can pronounce it! "Zhào... zhào..."
Bang—
The door opened.
"Wuwuwu... Summon... summon my sister..."
I dare not look at the door, all I can think about is finishing reading the words quickly.
Just three words left!
What are they?
I rubbed my eyes hard, trying to wipe away the tears.
I can't see clearly! I can't see!
What is it...
At this moment, I was completely panicked.
"Summon my sister... summon my sister..."
Suddenly, a large hand stroked my head.
"Koko, stop it."
I felt the warmth coming from the top of my head. My brother is still as gentle as ever. He didn't snatch the spirit tablet from my hand, nor did he do anything terrible to me.
I struggled to lift my head, trying hard to recognize whether the man in front of me is really my brother.
He looked down at me calmly, his eyes full of tenderness.
I seemed to be less afraid.
"What is this?" I asked him, holding out my palm.
The man stared at the spirit tablet in my hand and chuckled self-mockingly, "You've noticed, huh." My heart sank, filled with despair.
It seems to be true. Everything Chen Xuan said is true. At this moment, I completely forgot about the pain in my abdomen, with a mixture of sweat and tears on my face:
"Are you still my brother?"
"Koko, I just want to keep you by my side."
I don't understand:
"But I'm about to die soon, aren't I?"
The man looked bewildered after hearing this.
"Koko What are you talking about?
"You died in a car accident two months ago."
What...?
Am I dead?
I collapsed against the wall, everything went black in front of my eyes, and I could only see the man's mouth moving:
"I'm sorry... I didn't protect you well. I really can't bear to part with you, so I can only use this method to keep you here. Don't read the words on the spirit tablet, and don't burn the spirit tablet, or your soul will scatter!
"Just stay by my side like this, and we can continue to live as we did before, okay?"
I was completely stunned.
Chen Xuan probably heard what my brother said and immediately retorted:
"He's lying to you! Song Ke, don't believe him!
"These kinds of sorcery require the host to stay alive! Everything he's saying is just a delay tactic!"
What is the truth after all?
According to my brother, I am already dead.
And this wooden spirit tablet thing, is it the spell my brother used to leave my soul in the world? Not the secret technique of borrowing pregnancy?
"Hiss..."
No, that's not it.
The pain in my stomach reminds me that I should still be alive.
"But, brother, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and I'm pregnant."
"Koko, that's something from your past life... Souls don't have a concept of time. And you never knew you died... so you still feel human pain."
My brother's voice choked up, and his eyes turned red.
I wavered again.
Trying to recall what happened two months ago, it seems like I really have no memory of it.
Am I really... dead?
"Song Ke! Don't listen to him!
"He's lying to you! He's not your brother at all!"
The voice of Chen Xuan came through the earphones again...
"Master... I really can't remember what happened before."
"That's because of the influence of the pregnancy! Trust me! He knows this, that's why he said that!"
"Is that so..."
Who is telling the truth after all?
I can't tell anymore.
One is the only relative I have in this world, the other is a stranger I've never met online.
Now, am I...
a human, or a ghost?
My brother reached out his hand in front of me, wanting to pull me up. He must really be my brother, the pain and self-blame in his eyes are not fake.
Only when I'm really dead will my brother have this expression.
I tightly held the spirit tablet and glanced down at my phone.
"Who do you believe? Can ghosts get fat?"
"If this girl is really dead, how can we see her?"
"Master Chen must have known early on that his sister was a ghost and wanted to set her free!"
"I believe in Master Chen! My sister is a human! This brother must have been possessed!"
"Can't you see he's just stalling for time?! He doesn't want his sister to burn the spirit tablet!"
"To burn or not to burn? It's too late!"
"Song Ke! You're running out of time! Hurry up and finish reading the words on it, then burn the spirit tablet!"
It's the first time I've seen Chen Xuan in a panic.
She not only knows my name, but also is willing to help me without asking for anything in return.
Why is that?
If I were a human, she shouldn't know me.
If I were a ghost, she would be able to see my name, right?
So, what my brother said is true.
I believe my brother.
I'm dead.
I was about to grab my brother's hand when suddenly, a warm stream gushed out from below.
The transparent liquid soaked through my pants and flowed all over the floor.
