Chapter 1: Ghost Month Taboos (Part Two)
The room was filled not only with an unbearable stench but also with a strange mix of a high-quality air freshener scent. In short, it was foul beyond description!
Chi Xinrong, who loved cleanliness, frowned and raised her hand to cover her mouth. However, seeing Uncle Lin's grim expression, she quickly lowered her hand.
Lin Tai's mother stayed close to her son, refusing to leave his side. Lin Tai looked ashen, his hands bound to the headboard. He resembled a piece of lifeless wood, devoid of any vitality. The rotting area on his leg was wrapped in layer upon layer of gauze, soaked through with blood that had turned a dark purple, reminiscent of the color of a corpse's blood.
Lin Tai's father was the doctor and the Chief Physician at the hospital. Faced with Lin Tai's condition, he found himself at a loss for what to do. What more could he possibly offer?
I urged Uncle Lin to persuade Lin Tai's mother to step outside while Chi Xinrong followed her out for support. I remained with Uncle Lin as he carefully unwrapped the layers of gauze from Lin Tai's leg.
As the gauze came off, a sight too horrific to behold was revealed.
What was particularly terrifying was that the rotting area on Lin Tai's leg had naturally formed into a face. The decaying flesh contorted into features that resembled human facial features. Just one glance sent chills down my spine, and I silently thanked my foresight in not allowing Chi Xinrong to stay; if she had seen this, who knew how she would react.
"He dug it out himself," Uncle Lin's words shocked me even more.
It’s one thing to know that this was his own body—our bodies are sensitive; even a scrape can be painful. But to think he had used his own fingers to dig into the rotting flesh made my throat feel like it was crawling with countless maggots, and I fought back the urge to vomit.
Struggling against nausea, I remained silent as Uncle Lin continued, "He fears the night. When night falls, he screams in terror, acting crazed as if an evil spirit resides within him, gnawing at his flesh."
I realized that compared to Chiang, Lin Tai's condition was far worse. The grotesque face-like formation on his leg was particularly eerie.
I took out a piece of yellow paper, performed a hand gesture, and recited an incantation. With a swift motion, I lifted the yellow paper covering Lin Tai's leg wound. Slowly unfolding it revealed countless snarling faces that were incredibly sinister, which then combined to form a larger ghostly visage.
The ghostly face resembled Yuyaya, yet it also looked like a leaf.
Uncle Lin stared at the contents on the Yellow Paper, trembling in shock, utterly dumbfounded.
"Uncle Lin, is there anything else going on at your home?"
Uncle Lin struggled to maintain his composure, his lips moved but it seemed as if something was blocking his throat. After a great effort, he managed to utter four words: "What do you mean?"
"On the Yellow Paper, the baby face is actually an evil spirit's face."
"The baby face is?"
"This Yellow Paper isn't just any ordinary Yellow Paper; it's a Soul Absorbing Talisman. These baby faces are the souls of infants who died prematurely. The evil spirit's face is half Yuyaya and half leaf." I shook my head and sighed. "The mistake lies in your family; Lin Tai shouldn't have provoked Chiang again and done something inappropriate to a corpse. The situation is dire."
"Hmph, Ma Qi, I didn't invite you here to scare us. I want you to think of a way to solve this. I can pay you whatever you ask, as long as you cure my son; I'll agree to anything."
In front of Uncle Lin, I didn't know his full name; calling him Uncle Lin was a sign of respect.
"Uncle Lin, as a doctor, you should understand his current condition better than I do. The evil poison has invaded his heart, much like cancer cells that have spread beyond recovery. No amount of money will help. Also, I have a feeling that there are still secrets in your family that haven't come to light; otherwise, these infant souls wouldn't appear on this Yellow Paper."
"Ma Qi, aren't you supposed to be capable? As long as you save my son, I'll pay whatever it takes."
Uncle Lin kept talking about money as if I were only here for that reason. He would rather spend more than mention the hidden secrets of their family. Sigh! The world of the wealthy is beyond my understanding; still, receiving equal respect is acceptable. Given how the Lin family treats me, what good could come from it?
"Put away the Yellow Paper and just walk away."
"Look, I'm leaving." Uncle Lin panicked, trembling as he quickly pulled a card from his wallet.
"Ma Qi, this is five hundred thousand. If you think it's not enough, I still have..."
"Uncle Lin, you need to wake up. If you continue to be stubborn and hide the truth, I think..." I glanced at the nearly lifeless figure of Lin Tai. "He doesn't have much time left. You should prepare for what comes next! And when he dies, he can only go to the animal realm; he won't qualify for the human realm. He might even have to suffer in the Eighteen Layers of Hell..."
Uncle Lin's eyes widened in shock as he listened to me. Then, losing control of his emotions, he lunged at me, cursing, "Damn it, you're cursing my son! I'll kill you!" Seeing him act like a madman was no different from a crazy person; how could a respectable department head lose control like this and try to fight me with his fists?
I swiftly dodged aside and stepped out the door. Suddenly startled, I found two people standing at the entrance: one was Chi Xinrong, and the other was Lin Tai's mother.
Lin's Mom was in tears, her legs buckling as she attempted to kneel before me.
I hurried forward to support her, saying repeatedly, "No, no."
"Ma Qi, help them," Chi Xinrong urged.
"I'm not refusing to help them; it's just that they aren't cooperating."
With tears streaming down her face, Lin's Mom looked desperately toward Lin Tai inside the room and then at Lin Dad, who was clenching his fists and pounding on the wall. She stammered, "I... I'll give everything I have."
It turned out that Uncle Lin had taken advantage of his position to secretly open a large pharmacy under his son Lin Tai's name.
The hospital went through rectification in the past few years and a large number of substandard and substandard medicines were produced. Seeing that it was a pity to lose these medicines, he secretly kept some of them to fill Lin's Pharmacy's medicine cabinet. Lin's Mom knows how to deliver babies, but whenever someone comes to her who is pregnant for various reasons, she will not consider abortion. More and more people are having abortions at her hands, including high school female students and adult women who have unintentionally conceived children and come to her for abortions because they are afraid that they will not be able to support the children after they are born. Some of them died after taking substandard and substandard medicines, and they all had to knock out their teeth and swallow them because of the lack of evidence. In addition, Uncle Lin came forward and gave money to the family of the deceased, which made the incident a big deal and nothing happened. The origin of Infant Soul on Yellow Paper has been checked. The evil spirit faces are Ye Zi and Yuyaya. Uncle Lin immediately expressed his intention to surrender, hoping to rescue Lin Tai. Me: "Everything is a foregone conclusion, unless Yuyaya doesn't die, unless your children don't help others, and unless Lin's Mom doesn't do that kind of harm, money is not everything in this world and can buy anything. , I just can’t buy the regret medicine.” “Husband... Wuwu...” “Wife... what should we do!”
