Wang Niu was momentarily stunned after hearing the woman's words. For a moment, he forgot his fear and quickly asked her, "What on earth is going on?"
The woman gave a bitter smile. "Do you remember when I bought the clay figurine from you? I had a deep yearning for a child in my heart. The clay figurine here seemed to fulfill that desire, so I brought all my savings."
Upon hearing this, Wang Niu was taken aback. Where did this woman get so much money? Even if it was savings, it shouldn't be that much.
The woman seemed to sense his thoughts and said, "This is what my husband left me before."
Now he understood. The woman continued, "When I saw that black clay figurine, for some reason, it felt like I was under a spell; I had to take it home."
"But what I didn't know was that this would cost me my life."
"I followed the ritual with the clay figurine, but for some reason, I felt a sense of being controlled in my consciousness. A voice kept echoing in my mind."
As she spoke these words, fear appeared on her face, which puzzled Wang Niu. What was wrong with her?
"What’s wrong?" His curiosity was piqued.
"The voice compelled me to pick up a knife and cut my own wrist," the woman said as she raised her hand. Wang Niu looked at the scars on her wrist; they were shocking and distressing.
"Then, as if possessed, I kept feeding blood to that Evil Infant until it was born," tears streamed down the woman's face.
"What did you say?" Wang Niu became agitated. The birth of an evil spirit?
He had heard Uncle Chen tell stories about evil spirits being born; if that happened, disaster would surely follow.
"Haha." Suddenly, the woman turned sharply to Wang Niu, her eyes filled with an eerie glint. "I won't kill you, but you won't be able to escape the clutches of that Evil Infant either. You will die just the same."
The moment she finished speaking, the woman vanished.
Wang Niu felt his legs go weak and he collapsed, beads of sweat forming all over his body.
Just then, a noise came from outside the door.
Wang Niu's heart, which had just begun to calm down, started racing again.
"Open the door, it's me," Uncle Chen's voice called out, and Wang Niu's eyes lit up at the sound of Uncle Chen's name.
He quickly got up and rushed to open the door for Uncle Chen.
Upon seeing Uncle Chen, Wang Niu felt a wave of relief. Uncle Chen glanced inside and said, "That woman is gone."
Wang Niu paused for a moment before understanding, nodding at Uncle Chen and saying, "She has already left."
Uncle Chen seemed surprised and remarked to Wang Niu, "So that woman didn't kill you."
Wang Niu pouted, looking aggrieved. "Uncle Chen, do you really wish for me to be killed by that woman?"
Uncle Chen's gaze fixed on Wang Niu as he replied, "It's not that I want you dead; it's just that your fate was sealed."
Uncle Chen's chilling words made Wang Niu feel a sudden sense of dread.
"Uncle Chen, are you really so heartless as to stand by and watch me die?" Wang Niu said with a tone of grievance.
"Hmph, if I see someone in trouble and don't help, it's because you were greedy. Could this have happened otherwise?"
Wang Niu quickly bowed his head several times to Uncle Chen. "Uncle Chen, I'm begging you, please save me."
Uncle Chen looked at Wang Niu and remained silent for a moment. Finally, he spoke, "If you want me to save you, there is a way, but I don't know if you dare."
Upon hearing Uncle Chen's words, Wang Niu felt as if he had grasped a lifeline. "Uncle Chen, just tell me. I will definitely dare."
Of course, this was a matter of life and death for him.
"Alright, you said it. Do you know there's a Cursed Graveyard nearby?" Uncle Chen stood up.
Wang Niu was taken aback. Did Uncle Chen mean for him to sleep in the Cursed Graveyard? Goodness, wasn't that asking for his life? But either way, he was facing death.
"I know about it, Uncle Chen. But what does that have to do with my situation?" Wang Niu's heart began to race with anxiety.
Uncle Chen nodded and continued, "In that Cursed Graveyard, there is a large Tomb. As long as you can sleep inside that Tomb until dawn without coming out, the Evil Infant won't find you. You will be able to save your life, and this matter will come to an end."
Wang Niu furrowed his brow as he recalled the scene in the Cursed Graveyard.
That place indeed had a very large Tomb.
However, he had heard that the Tomb was extremely eerie. If he spent a night there, who knew if he would even survive?
"Uncle Chen, is there no other way?" Wang Niu asked cautiously.
"Uncle Chen" sneered, "Sure, just wait to be killed by that evil spirit."
"Wang Niu, I was wrong. I'll listen to you," Wang Niu quickly grabbed Uncle Chen.
Seeing that Wang Niu was listening to him, Uncle Chen's expression turned satisfied. He continued speaking to Wang Niu, "Once you find that large grave, go inside and sleep for a while. When dawn comes, you'll be fine. During this time, you must not open your eyes, understand?"
Wang Niu nodded. Afterward, Uncle Chen went into the back room and handed him some dry rations to eat on the way.
Wang Niu sighed deeply, feeling very regretful. If only he hadn't sold that clay figure to the woman, he wouldn't have to suffer this fate.
He left the shop and headed toward the Cursed Graveyard, which was still quite a distance away.
On the way to the Cursed Graveyard, Wang Niu felt increasingly anxious. For some reason, he had the unsettling feeling that something was following him from behind.
He quickened his pace, but the shadow behind him kept chasing relentlessly.
Wang Niu's heart raced with panic. Could it be that Evil Infant coming for him?
After running for a while, he felt exhausted and was panting heavily, which only added to his unease. Suddenly, it felt like something floated right over his head.
"Ah!" He was startled and instinctively turned to look behind him, but there was nothing there.
"Wang Niu, why aren't you hurrying?" Suddenly, Uncle Chen's angry voice echoed in his ear.
That voice snapped him back to reality. He hurried toward the Cursed Graveyard, and by the time he arrived, it was already dark.
He quickly scanned his surroundings in search of the largest tomb that Uncle Chen had mentioned.
He looked around but still couldn't find the largest Tomb. Just then, a strange sound caught his attention.
He turned towards the sound, and in an instant, a swirl of White Mist rushed towards him. His eyes widened in surprise, and he instinctively closed them. When he opened his eyes again, a large Tomb appeared before him. He was taken aback, and at that moment, he suddenly heard the cries of children. He instinctively glanced back and saw the Evil Infant approaching.
His heart raced, and he dashed into the Tomb just as its door swung open. Once inside, the door closed behind him.
Wang Niu let out a sigh of relief; that scene had been truly perilous.
However, what Wang Niu didn't expect was that even more terrifying dangers lay ahead. Although he had escaped the Evil Infant, he sensed something was off about this Tomb.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a stone coffin in front of him, adorned with a Phoenix Doll design.
Wang Niu was taken aback; how could there be such a coffin in this Tomb?
He suddenly recalled Uncle Chen's words—Uncle Chen had told him to sleep in the coffin until dawn. Did that mean he really had to enter it?
Wang Niu hesitated for a moment but ultimately walked towards the coffin. Suddenly, a strange sound emanated from within, nearly scaring him to death.
He cautiously approached the side of the coffin and placed his hand on it. Just then, the lid of the coffin began to slide open.
