"Millet……"

"vomit!"

Xiaomi coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked down slightly at the ghost fetus crawling out of her stomach, and a hint of maternal tenderness appeared in her eyes.

Then, she fell heavily backward, her body limp and motionless on the bed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the ghost fetus crawled out from Xiao Mi's belly. It was soaking wet and covered in black mucus, looking extremely ugly.

Its limbs were shorter than those of a normal baby, its body was twisted, and a long umbilical cord was still attached to its abdomen.

The ghost fetus lay on Xiaomi's chest, making "woo woo woo" sounds, as if it were crying or calling out to Xiaomi, wanting a response from its mother.

But the next second, it suddenly turned its head to look at me, who was closest to it.

That resentful look in my eyes made my heart tighten.

Immediately afterwards, the demon pounced on me using all four limbs.

Just when I thought its sharp hand was about to pierce my heart, it suddenly stopped.

It kept rubbing its hideous, slimy head against my heart.

It didn't seem to want to kill me.

What is it looking for?

It wasn't until the ghost child bit open the front of my clothes that I remembered that I had put a paper doll with Xiaomi's birth date and time written on it in the inside pocket of my shirt.

At that time, Grandma Sun handed me a paper figure with Xiaomi's birth date and time written on it, but I didn't understand what it meant.

Now I understand.

The ghost child is mistaking me for its mother.

With a "bang".

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bai Su rush towards me the moment she shook off Grandma Sun.

At the critical moment, the ghost fetus that had been 'seeking maternal love' on my chest seemed to sense my danger. It suddenly turned around and rushed in front of Bai Su, wrestling with her.

"Hiss~"

The demon fetus let out a sharp howl and stretched out its thin, bony little hand.

Her fingernails instantly grew longer, like sharp daggers, and scratched towards Bai Su's face.

Bai Su couldn't dodge in time and was scratched across the cheek by the ghost fetus's claws, leaving three deep wounds.

Black mist also emerged from the area where the demon fetus had scratched him.

That was the yin energy of a demonic fetus eroding Bai Su's body.

Enraged by the sudden attack, Bai Su let out an angry roar, flashed around to the back of the ghost fetus, and turned her hands into black claws, fiercely grabbing at the ghost fetus's back.

The ghost fetus was unable to dodge in time and was scratched by Bai Su's sharp claws.

The demon fetus was in pain, but it did not back down.

It suddenly turned around and pounced on Bai Su again.

"roar--"

Bai Su let out a roar, and the air around her body formed a black whirlwind that swept the ghost fetus into it.

The ghost fetus struggled in the whirlwind, but could not break free from Bai Su's control.

The ghost fetus was clearly at a disadvantage, its movements becoming increasingly sluggish and its strength waning.

It tried to resist time and time again, but was defeated by Bai Su time and time again.

Seeing the ghost fetus's disheveled appearance, I couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

Wait a minute, how come this ghost fetus is so weak?

Isn't it said that the ghost fetus is very powerful?

However, Grandma Sun's next words completely baffled me.

"It's fake, it's fake! No wonder it wasn't afraid of the black dog, and the ghost fetus couldn't hurt it. It's not a ghost at all!"

Not a ghost?

What is Bai Su if not a ghost?

However, at this moment, Grandma Sun had no time to explain to me. She hurriedly threw several paper figures at Bai Su, who was fighting with the ghost fetus.

The paper figures danced in the sky, twirled, and landed on the ground, instantly transforming into Yunwei, Xiaomi, the little girl, and Yunwei's parents.

These paper figures are not...

Wasn't it in the closet at the time?

When the last paper figure landed, I realized that it was actually Grandma Sun.

I instinctively turned to look at Grandma Sun, and saw that her eyes were lifeless, her face was ashen, and she was barely breathing; she was clearly dying.

With her last bit of strength, Grandma Sun recited the incantation to summon the gods.

"Heavenly Thunder, when dragons and tigers clash, when the sun and moon illuminate... when friends depart, receive my command, when heavenly soldiers and generals are summoned, when earthly soldiers and generals arrive... when the talisman arrives, act swiftly, as the law commands."

As the incantation was recited, the paper figures flashed with a blinding light and instantly transformed into living people.

Then, without hesitation, they launched an indiscriminate attack on the ghost fetus and Bai Su.

The paper figure transformed into Yunwei was the first to rush towards Bai Su like an arrow released from a bow.

He clenched his fists tightly and slammed them into Bai Su's chest with all his might.

Seeing this, Bai Su instantly appeared in front of Yun Wei, her hands like sharp claws, piercing directly through Yun Wei's chest.

Yunwei's body instantly transformed into countless pieces of paper, which flew and swirled in the air before bursting into flames with a "poof".

Then it transformed into a beam of white light and shot into my forehead, causing my body to tremble violently.

At the same time, Yunwei's parents rushed forward and hugged Bai Su's waist on either side.

Bai Su spun rapidly, creating a black whirlwind in the surrounding air, her hands moving as fast as black lightning.

Each swing was accompanied by a barrage of black, yin-energy blades, raining down on Yunwei's parents.

Countless streams of black energy instantly pierced through the bodies of Yunwei's parents.

The two paper figures floated lightly to the ground and then burst into flames.

Then, just like the paper figure of Yunwei, it transformed into two beams of white light that pierced my left and right temples.

The little girl hid to the side, crouching low, and cautiously approached Bai Su from behind.

However, just as the little girl was about to get close to Bai Su, Bai Su suddenly turned around, grabbed the little girl by the neck, and lifted her high up.

The little girl's legs kicked helplessly in the air, and her hands desperately tried to pry Bai Su's hands off.

Bai Su suddenly flung the little girl towards the wall.

The ghost fetus seized the opportunity and bit Bai Su's wrist.

The little girl who had gotten up from the ground and the old lady Sun, who had been transformed from a paper doll, were also holding onto Bai Su's legs on either side, struggling to support her.

"roar!"

Bai Su roared and flung away the ghost fetus. The hand, wreathed in black energy, pierced the little girl's chest.

"No!"

I shouted angrily, my heart filled with unprecedented anger and helplessness.

I have never hated my own powerlessness so much, being able to only watch helplessly as all of this happened.

Suddenly, a strong emotion erupted within me.

It was a feeling of guilt towards Xiaomi, hatred towards Bai Su, grief for the little girl, and resistance against all this injustice.

With a "boom," it felt like something inside my body exploded.

The invisible force that had been binding me vanished instantly.

I rushed forward, quickly picked up the broken piece of peach wood sword from the ground, and charged towards Bai Su like a madman.

Just as Bai Su frantically tore the paper doll of Old Lady Sun into pieces and then violently flung away the ghost fetus, I raised my arm high and gathered all my strength into the peach wood sword in my hand.

With a swift movement, the peach wood sword, accompanied by a whooshing sound, slashed towards Bai Su's neck like a bolt of lightning.
