“I originally thought it was caused by that mask, but now it seems that’s not the case. The one on the belly is more ferocious, so the evil spirit on the mask your daughter was wearing didn’t come back because your daughter has already been possessed by a spirit.”

Chen Zhihe asked, puzzled, "Soul possession? What does that mean?"

"The so-called soul possession is similar to soul possession, but the difference is that soul possession is done without the person's consent and is a forced possession. Soul possession, on the other hand, is different. It usually involves a sorcerer performing a ritual, following a specific procedure. In short, soul possession can only be done with the person's consent. However, your daughter's situation is somewhat different."

"What exactly does 'soul possession' mean, Master? I don't understand."

"Some ghosts and wandering spirits cannot be reincarnated, cannot find their own bodies, or their bodies have been destroyed. They will seek out sorcerers to perform rituals for them. With the consent of the person involved, they will occupy the body of another person in the form of a written agreement. But this is the first time I have seen a human face parasitizing on a person's belly. I think there must be a conspiracy behind this."

“Miss Li, you said that the soul needs the consent of the person in question to possess another body, but how could my daughter agree to let someone else use her body? And why doesn’t the soul seek an adult body instead of my daughter’s?”

Li Zhizhi couldn't understand why Chen Zhihe had asked such a question. It was the first time she had ever seen a soul possess a child's body, and this was clearly different from the usual practice of a soul possessing another body.

Gu Siye thought for a moment and asked, "Why doesn't this soul just take over Chen Ketian's body?" After all, this soul has the ability to control other people's bodies, so wouldn't it be easier to just take it over directly?

"Taking over and doing it voluntarily are of course different. If you take over, you can't walk in the sunlight. You'll retain the characteristics of the soul, and you'll be afraid of light, people with strong yang energy, and things that ward off evil spirits, etc. Because this kind of thing is inherently against the laws of nature. But if the soul borrows a body, it's with the consent of the person involved, which is equivalent to willingly giving their body to someone else to use. Once the document is signed, burn it immediately, and the contract will be effective. At that time, the person whose body is being borrowed will have no chance to go back on their word."

"Miss Li, has my daughter been deceived?" Chen Zhihe immediately realized something. Although he felt that his daughter was not that stupid, she was still a child after all. If she was being used, she might actually agree.

"Mr. Chen, please give me your daughter's birth date and time so I can calculate it."

Wu Huiying hurriedly wrote down her daughter's birth date and time on a piece of paper and handed it to Li Zhiyi. Li Zhiyi did some calculations and then suddenly realized what was going on:

"No wonder. Your daughter has a pure Yin body. This soul is using your daughter's pure Yin body to parasitize her. A soul parasitizing in a pure Yin body will achieve twice the results with half the effort if it cultivates in the future. I think this parasitic face may not be an ordinary person, but was originally a sorcerer. Soul parasitism is more dangerous than soul possession, because when the soul is fully cultivated, your daughter will die with her intestines ruptured."

This is the only explanation that makes sense; otherwise, who would risk parasitizing a child's body? Directly taking over the host's body would be the fastest and simplest way.

"Miss Li, what should we do now? Has my daughter really had her body taken over by this soul?"

"Yes, I already know what to do."

That evening, Chen Zhihe hung a Bagua mirror on the door as instructed by Li Zhiyi, and then prepared a large basin of warm water. Li Zhiyi threw the Soul-Locking Incantation into the warm water, and the talisman immediately dissolved into the water upon contact with it.

"All of you men, get out."

Inside the house, only Li Zhiyi, Gu Nianzhi, Wu Huiying, and two aunties who were taking care of Chen Ketian remained.

"Take off her clothes and put her in the basin."

The two aunties immediately took off the young lady's clothes and carried her into the water. As soon as she entered the water, Chen Ketian suddenly opened her eyes and struggled, shouting as she tried to get out of the basin.

"Ah! Let me go, please let me go, Mommy, please, it hurts so much, Mommy, please save me..." Chen Ketian cried and begged for mercy, looking pitiful.

Seeing her daughter in so much pain, Wu Huiying asked with heartache, "Miss Li, my daughter says it hurts a lot. Is she alright?"

"It's alright, this isn't your daughter. It's that parasitic spirit tempting you to release her."

Although Wu Huiying knew that this was not her daughter, the fact that the spirit had possessed her daughter's body still made her heart ache and tears streamed down her face.

Despite the spirit's loud pleas for mercy, Wu Hunying didn't ask any more questions; she knew it was to save her daughter.

Soon, seeing that he could no longer seduce Wu Huiying, Hun became enraged and began to curse loudly: "Damn bitch! You all deserve to die, you deserve to die! I'm going to destroy this body, hahaha..." At this moment, the voice had changed to that of a strange woman.

Wu Huiying was shocked. This parasitic woman was truly despicable!

There was a soul-locking curse in this basin. Knowing that it could not leave, the soul began to take revenge on Chen Ketian's body. Chen Ketian's face twisted, and she began to tightly choke her own neck, determined to strangle the body to death.

Li Zhi stuck a talisman on Chen Ketian's wrist. Chen Ketian thrashed and thrashed in the water like a fish for more than half an hour before finally calming down. It was clear that she was exhausted.

Only then did Li Zhiyi instruct the servants, "Carry the young lady to bed, she's alright now."

The two maids immediately wrapped the young lady in a blanket, carried her to the bed, and covered her with a quilt. Chen Ketian remained asleep with her eyes closed.

Li Zhizhi reached out and grabbed the spirit from the basin. At this moment, no one else saw anything strange except Li Zhizhi, who saw the broken and battered spirit. The spirit looked at Li Zhizhi with great resentment and cursed, "You damned Taoist priest, how dare you ruin my plans! I will never forgive you!"

Li Zhiyi's guess was correct; this woman was indeed a sorcerer, and the magic she practiced was even more heinous, requiring her to constantly use the bodies of underage girls to nourish herself. Therefore, Chen Ketian was not the first victim.

"You evil sorcerer, for your own selfish gain, you don't hesitate to exploit the innocence of children to deceive them into having sex. You deserve to die!" Li Zhiyi picked up a small whip made of willow branches and lashed it hard against the soul in front of him.

"Ouch! It hurts so much! Stop hitting me! I was wrong, I'll never do it again!!!"

Li Zhi pressed, "Tell me, do you have any accomplices?"
