Chapter 64

"Knock, knock, knock."

The boss knocked on the door, and I went downstairs with him. The boss's wife made mixed rice noodles today, which I had never tasted before. The smooth and chewy thin rice noodles were paired with the boss's own sauce and small ingredients such as chili peppers and dried radish. The taste was even more fragrant than the rice noodles I had in Leshan.

The boss and his wife hadn't eaten breakfast either, so the three of us sat at a table and ate our mixed noodles. As we were eating, I said to the boss, "I've just removed the restrictions on you. You can now come and go as you please."

When the two bosses heard what I said, they stopped slurping noodles and looked at me in disbelief.

"Really? If you don't believe me, you can try it now," I said.

The boss and his wife exchanged a glance. Perhaps the news was too shocking for them. After all, they'd been through such a bizarre thing, and the fear of death hung heavy on the hearts of every resident in the town. It was understandable that they couldn't accept it so suddenly when I told them they could live a normal life.

"Come on, let's go and try it." I didn't want to eat the mixed noodles anymore, so I pulled the boss and walked out of the store.

I pulled the boss all the way to the town entrance. It was only a few steps away, and he was still immersed in the news I told him. It was not until he saw the white porcelain fragments piled up at the town entrance that he came to his senses and struggled frantically. It seemed that his fear of porcelain dolls had completely shattered the boss's courage. Even when I told him it was time to leave, he was still afraid.

"I'll do it!" The proprietress took a step forward, but was stopped by the boss.

"You damn bitch, are you trying to kill yourself? Go back here." the boss yelled.

The boss, who had just been unwilling to leave the town, scolded the boss's wife, then closed his eyes, mustered up his courage, and took a strong step forward.

Time stood still at this moment, and the proprietress looked at the boss nervously, one second, two seconds, three seconds.

The boss is fine.

"Boss, everything is fine!" the proprietress said excitedly.

The boss's heart was pounding at this moment. He hugged his wife and kissed her face. He said as he kissed her, "Wife, we don't have to die anymore, hahaha!"

The boss smiled as if no one was around.

Seeing how intimate they were, I could only cough loudly twice.

The boss then remembered that I was still there, and awkwardly let go of the boss lady, saying, "Little Master, well, I was excited for a moment."

The boss's voice attracted the nearby residents. They thought the boss was crazy, but when they saw the boss and his wife standing outside the town safe and sound, they all looked at them in disbelief.

"Fellow villagers, we don't have to die. The young master has helped us lift the curse!" The boss said excitedly to everyone.

Curse, yes, this is the curse on them. Pity the residents of this town, some children even have to face death from birth.

When the villagers saw that the boss was indeed fine outside the town, the brave residents also walked out of the town carefully. The rest of the residents saw that he was fine too, so more and more people began to walk out of the town. Everyone first looked at themselves in a daze, and then looked outside the town in a trance. At this moment, they were truly alive.

Suddenly, the crowd cheered, raised their hands and shouted loudly.

The boss hugged the boss's wife and cried excitedly.

I was also very happy to see this scene.

The Feather Stone in my chest suddenly stirred. I saw gratitude emanating from the townspeople, flowing into the stone. This was the first time the Feather Stone had received energy from a living person; previously, it only received it when liberating the souls of the dead. Perhaps it was because each of them was already mortal, and now that I had severed their connection with the male porcelain doll, they could live like normal people.

After everyone cheered, they surrounded me and expressed their gratitude in a chaotic manner.

The boss motioned for everyone to be quiet and said, "Don't get excited yet. The young master said she will help us get rid of the doll spirit. We can then hold a grand thank you ceremony, okay?"

"Good!" the villagers said happily.

The boss dismissed everyone and I breathed a sigh of relief. I was surrounded by a group of people. Although they were thanking me, my ears were almost deafened.

"What do you think, boss? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"The young master is truly amazing!"

After this commotion, the whole town knew about it and they all gathered in front of the boss's shop to see who was so powerful.

I could only tell my boss that I would not go out to see everyone and that I needed to have a good rest.

Actually, I just meet too many people. Although I am a tomboy, I can't relax when there are too many people around.

Judging from my encounter with the porcelain doll today, its power isn't high, so defeating it shouldn't be difficult. Now I'm watching the real body in my hands, waiting for it to fall into my trap. After three days of waiting, it finally gave up. That day, I saw a layer of white lines covering the town. These lines were like silk, clinging to the residents like tentacles.

Seeing this, I immediately summoned the Fire Bell and used the Red Lotus True Fire to burn all the white lines. The residents didn't know yet, and the porcelain doll and I had another battle in a place where they couldn't see.

This time, the little white porcelain doll in my hand had more cracks and was about to break.

I asked the boss to gather everyone together. I have a feeling it will come out tonight.

The boss went door to door and called the residents of the town together.

Looking at the crowd in front of me, there must be two or three hundred people. This is because so many people have died over the years. If it were in the past, how many people would there be?

"I called you all here today because the young master has some instructions. Let's ask the young master to tell us." The boss said to everyone.

"I just want to tell everyone that I have a feeling that the porcelain demon will appear tonight."

When I told them that the porcelain doll would be back tonight, the residents started to make a fuss. It seemed that the fear of the porcelain doll had been deeply rooted in their minds.

Seeing everyone in such a state of confusion, the boss quickly stepped in to take charge, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. Let the young master continue. Since she can remove the curse from us, she can definitely help us get rid of that evil!"

Everyone quieted down, and I continued, "Don't worry, I will definitely ensure your safety. Once it gets dark, go to the open space outside the town. Just follow my instructions and don't make any noise."

What I meant mainly was to ask them to be obedient and not lose their composure when the time comes, otherwise I might not be able to take care of so many people.

Everyone agreed readily.

I said a lot of encouraging words to them and occasionally made a little joke to ease their fear.

The effect was good, everyone was smiling, and after comforting them, I let them go.

But the more I feared something, the more it happened. I completely underestimated their fear of porcelain dolls.
