The moment I entered the room, I felt a chill run down my spine. There, in the corner, sat the Green-Faced Child.
It grinned at me with a sinister smile before vanishing into thin air.
I took a deep breath, convinced that the Green-Faced Child hadn’t truly left but was still lurking somewhere in the house. Cautiously, I scanned the room, but the surrounding black mist made it difficult to locate the child. I had no choice but to place all my hopes on the compass in my hand.
However, the needle on the compass was spinning wildly, and I felt a headache coming on. Was the magnetic field here disturbed as well?
Just then, I heard a familiar female voice say, "Wang Niu, that little ghost is right above you. Be careful!"
It was Xiaomei's voice.
My heart skipped a beat as I quickly looked up. Sure enough, there was the Green-Faced Child, baring its teeth and clawing at me. In just a second, I felt a rush of cold air above my head as the Green-Faced Child lunged at me. I didn’t have time to defend myself before it pinned me to the ground.
"Wang Niu, be careful! Quickly bite your finger and press your blood against its forehead! Otherwise, if it bites you, it will be trouble!" Xiaomei shouted urgently.
I nodded and immediately bit my finger, smearing the blood on the Green-Faced Child's forehead. A child's scream echoed through the room before the Green-Faced Child vanished without a trace.
I looked around and felt relieved, letting out a deep sigh.
Xiaomei then appeared before me. I stared at her in confusion—had she been following me all along?
Xiaomei seemed to sense my thoughts and gave an awkward smile before changing the subject. "Wang Niu, although you temporarily got rid of the Green-Faced Child..."
Before she could finish her sentence, I froze in shock. What did she mean by "temporarily"? Hadn’t I just gotten rid of it? I quickly asked Xiaomei for clarification.
She nodded and explained, "Didn’t you hear what that woman said? The man's girlfriend died along with the child."
I furrowed my brows. Could it be that there was still another woman? I asked Xiaomei if that was the case.
Xiaomei shook her head and said no, the man's girlfriend had long since ceased to exist. However, all of that girlfriend's resentment was now directed at the Green-Faced Child. As long as the woman's child remained in this world, the Green-Faced Child would continue to exist; their fates were intertwined.
Xiaomei's words weighed heavily on my heart. If that were true, did it mean the woman's child had to die?
Wasn't this putting any mother in a difficult position?
I asked Xiaomei if there was any other way.
After thinking for a moment, Xiaomei replied that the only solution was to make the woman's child appear to be dead. Just now, I had scattered the Green-Faced Child, and it was no longer here. But by nightfall, the Green-Faced Child would return to this place, and its resentment would be even stronger. We needed to take advantage of the daylight to handle everything.
I took a deep breath; if that were the case, our time was very limited.
I had no choice but to wake the woman lying on the sofa.
Since the Green-Faced Child had been dispersed, the Yin Qi in this place had also dissipated, allowing the woman to quickly return to normal.
I told her what had just happened, including what Xiaomei had said. The woman was taken aback and asked if this would be inauspicious.
I grew anxious; this was a matter of life and death—what did it matter whether it was auspicious or not?
Reluctantly, the woman complied. She called for her man and together they went to buy everything needed for the funeral arrangements.
I stayed behind in the villa because I still had more important things to do.
To be on the safe side, I secretly hid talismans to subdue the Green-Faced Child in various corners, creating a web of protection.
Even though the Green-Faced Child discovered that the child was no longer there, it still needed to be eliminated; otherwise, it would unleash all its resentment towards the adults, as there was a connection between them.
After taking care of everything, I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already four in the afternoon.
The man and woman had not returned, which made me anxious. We only had two hours left. Would we be able to get everything done in that time?
As I waited anxiously, the man and woman finally returned, followed by a large group of people and the necessary items.
I immediately instructed them to set up the place. An hour later, it resembled a funeral parlor.
I looked around; it was decent and quite realistic. I asked Xiaomei, who was standing beside me, if anything else was needed.
Xiaomei glanced around and nodded. Just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed as if she remembered something important. "Wang Niu, I overlooked something very crucial," she said.
I turned to Xiaomei and asked what was wrong.
She explained that although the funeral parlor had been arranged and concealed the truth of the child's faked death, there was no death aura surrounding the child. This would only serve to further anger the Green-Faced Child. When that happened, eliminating it would become more challenging. The only solution was for her to channel her own death aura onto the child to mask its presence. However, doing so would cause the child to fall gravely ill.
Listening to Xiaomei's words, I pondered deeply. Meanwhile, the busy man and woman noticed me seemingly talking to thin air and nervously asked who I was speaking with.
I didn't dare to be direct and sidestepped the topic. I told the man and woman, "To completely eliminate the Green-Faced Child, the child will have to make a sacrifice and will fall seriously ill. You need to be mentally prepared for this."
The man and woman were taken aback but eventually agreed, realizing that it was already fortunate for the child to be alive.
I nodded in acknowledgment and gave Xiaomei a knowing glance. She understood and transformed into a wisp of black mist that drifted into the child's room.
The next step was to have the man and woman call all family members and relatives over; only then could we create a more convincing scene.
At six o'clock, all the relatives of the man and woman arrived, including Director Huang.
Director Huang frowned, glaring at me with a serious expression. He questioned me about what was happening, asking how it was possible that the child had died in less than a day when it was supposed to be resolved.
I couldn't tell Director Huang the truth, so I had to make him believe that I would give him an explanation tomorrow.
Director Huang was very displeased and turned to leave. The woman saw this scene and approached me, asking if she should explain things to Director Huang.
I shook my head and said it wasn't necessary; everything would go according to plan.
The woman could only respond with a soft acknowledgment. By eight o'clock that evening, everyone had left, leaving only the man and woman by the mourning hall, while the child's body had already been moved downstairs.
I handed the man and woman two talismans. These charms were meant to conceal their presence, preventing the Green-Faced Child from finding them.
I hid in a corner, watching closely. At first, the man and woman were quite scared; after all, this was their first encounter with a ghost as ordinary people.
By eleven o'clock, the atmosphere around us began to shift uneasily.
A chilling wind swept into the villa, and I noticed dark mist rolling in through the front door. My heart tightened; it seemed the Green-Faced Child had arrived.
I quickly signaled to the man and woman to retreat into a Hidden Room I had prepared for them. This Hidden Room would protect them; the Green-Faced Child wouldn't dare enter.
As soon as the man and woman stepped into the room, the Green-Faced Child appeared at the doorway.
Its feet were bare, its entire body a sickly green, looking even more terrifying than before.
I took a deep breath as the Green-Faced Child scanned its surroundings, seemingly searching for something. Finally, its gaze settled on the coffin in front of it.
It approached the coffin step by step, wearing a disturbingly eerie expression.
When it reached the edge of the coffin, it leaned down close to the child. I felt a pang of worry, fearing that the Green-Faced Child might do something to the little one.
Fortunately, it merely sniffed and glanced around, showing no signs of anything unusual.
A few seconds later, it let out a cry that echoed against the ceiling, sounding somewhat like sobbing.
For some reason, I felt a flicker of sympathy; after all, the Green-Faced Child seemed quite innocent in its own way.
At that moment, the Green-Faced Child suddenly turned sharply, as if it had noticed something. It looked toward the Hidden Room where the man and woman were hiding. My heart skipped a beat—could it be that the Green-Faced Child had discovered something?
I watched intently as the Green-Faced Child walked slowly toward the Hidden Room. My gaze was fixed on its small feet.
When it reached the entrance of the Hidden Room, it stopped, seemingly peering inside at the woman within.
After a moment, the Green-Faced Child suddenly began to cry, much like a normal child who felt wronged and was searching for its parents.
I watched this scene with suspicion. The Green-Faced Child belonged to the Wraith category, and such Wraiths could never turn into benevolent spirits.
But why was the Green-Faced Child behaving this way?
