☆, Chapter 113 The Mother Who Ran Away
Li Xiu and Liu Ningning stared at each other, a bone-chilling chill running down the skin of their hands and through their bloodstream, seeping into their very bones. The faint scent that permeated the air became so overwhelming that it became unbearable.
Liu Ningning was simply afraid, but Li Xiu understood that this was what the villagers called the smell of death. There was a place at the entrance of the village where the dead were kept, and Li Xiu had smelled it many times when she passed by.
"Ouija Ouija, are you here?"
Here it comes. The plate slowly moved across the paper, and Liu Ningning's tears began to stream down. She was afraid.
They didn't know what had gone wrong. The Ouija they had invited was different from what Liu Ningning and the others had described. It was strange and bizarre. The key point was that every time the Ouija moved, it left a deep red mark on the paper, like freshly drawn blood from a living person, even warm.
But if something's not right, then the rules must be followed once the Ouija board is summoned. Liu Ningning consoled herself, wondering if it was true, and her goal was revenge. Thinking this way, Liu Ningning's resolve hardened. She slowly asked her second question.
"Ouija Ouija, who is my enemy?"
Li Dajun. He still moved slowly, but this time, more blood flowed, and the hands that held their hands tightened, as if they understood their grievances.
When people are wronged, the more they are comforted, the more they want to cry. Those terrible memories from before once again flooded back into their hearts. Liu Ningning burst into tears. Even Li Xiu began to sob.
They seemed to feel a resonance, and spoke out everything they had endured. And the usually silent Li Xiu also poured out all the hatred hidden in his heart this time.
The most unexpected thing happened. Perhaps moved by Li Xiu's misery, the previously quiet Ouija suddenly began to spin violently. Liu Ning and Li Xiu's hands were unable to hold the disc down, and both were passively bounced away.
Then, the Ouija board actually asked them questions on the paper.
"Do you want revenge?"
"If I can kill them, I'm willing to do anything." This time, it was Li Xiu who spoke before Liu Ningning. She blocked Liu Ningning and first expressed her wish to sacrifice herself.
"Sister Xiuxiu, you..." Liu Ningning cried and hugged Li Xiu, "No, no, it's me, it's me, you can't do this"
"Ningning, be obedient, you still have your parents." Liu Ningning cried, and Li Xiu also cried. She was afraid of death, but she knew even more clearly that no one would love her if she was alive. In this case, it would be better for her to die and let Ningning live well.
But in the end, the Ouija board didn't do anything until they cried themselves to sleep. The next day, when they opened their eyes, they were in the hospital, accompanied by none other than the old principal.
"Principal" Li Xiu spoke, but his voice was terribly hoarse.
"How did you two kids sleep there all night? If I hadn't seen you this morning, someone would have died."
"Why didn't the Ouija board kill them?" Li Xiu felt like she was dreaming. But her body was too weak, and she finally fell asleep.
The ten days she spent in the hospital were the happiest she could ever remember. No one beat her, her bed and quilt were warm, and she could read freely without having to hide like before.
And the more miraculous reversal is yet to come. When Li Xiu was discharged from the hospital, her father died miraculously at home, and Li Dajun fell into the toilet on the way to school and drowned.
Seeing the sorrowful expressions of her grandparents, who wished they could die with the two men in the family, Li Xiu didn't feel any pain at all, but instead revealed a strange smile. Even Liu Ningning's departure without saying goodbye didn't make her feel sad.
She ran to the hill behind the school without a care in the world and knelt at the spot where she had summoned the Ouija board, kowtowed repeatedly until her head bled. Exhausted, she fainted and heard a little girl whisper in her ear, "Don't thank me, you beast! You don't deserve to live."
When Li Xiu woke up again, she understood everything. Ning Ning was wrong. The Ouijin wasn't a ghost that harmed people, but a god that could protect them. The Ouijin would kill any beast that harmed them.
She secretly told this secret to another classmate who was about to be sold to another village as a child bride by her father. Sure enough, the next day, the classmate's father was strangled to death on the way back to the village.
These people were the most idle bunch in the village, living by selling their daughters and exploiting their wives. Their death was a relief to the people.
What made Li Xiu unhappy was that she never saw the Ouija board again, but she also finally learned to protect herself. She threatened her mother to take her to the town, and then she moved away from the small village step by step. Unfortunately, she came back today.
And this time, it was the Ouija board that saved her again.
The empathy ended here, and Yu Jiuyin removed his forehead from Rongqing. Rongqing took a few seconds to break free from the emotion of empathy.
"This child..." Rong Qing thought that he should ask Rong Zhuo to show Li Xiu. Years of hatred and insults had twisted the child's mentality.
However, Yu Jiuyin seemed to have discovered something and said directly, "Rongrong, let's go meet that Ouija board fairy."
“You think it’s weird too.”
"Yes, Liu Xiu's memory repeatedly mentioned that there were three Ouija board spirits, but in fact, judging from what happened in Li Xiu's village, there should only be one Ouija board spirit. Why did she think there were three?"
"Didn't she say that?"
"No, I originally suspected that she might have lost some of her memories because she was too scared, so I used some magic. But after spying on her entire experience, I found that it wasn't the case."
"For Ouija to work, it must be a spiritual ghost, and at the same time, it must have a talent for divination like Qiuqiu and Linglong. But you also know that this method of peeping into fate is extremely difficult for ghosts. Linglong is because she was a tarot card master in her lifetime, and Qiuqiu is because of the inheritance of ghosts. What do you think of this Ouija?"
"did you mean"
"I suspect that everything that happened after Li Xiu wasn't done by a real Ouija board. And look at the trajectory of this murderer over the years. From an adult man at the beginning to an old man now. How do you feel?"
"He doesn't have the strength or it's not convenient for him to attack adult men, so he can only target the elderly."
"Several years have passed since the Li Xiu case. If the murderer was around 45 at the time, he should be around 50 now, right at the end of his strength. So, even though Li Xiu is in trouble this time, he still can only kill Li Xiu's grandfather. Otherwise, according to the rumors in the village, Li Xiu's mother would also be among those who died today."
"Indeed, if it was a fierce ghost, it could kill people without anyone noticing by using the same methods. But the murderer who killed Li Xiu's grandfather might be so weak that he couldn't even kill a weak woman like Li Xiu's mother. Li Xiu must know this murderer, and he must be very familiar with him." Rong Qing carefully screened the memories that Yu Jiuyin had empathized with him before, and then immediately looked at Yu Jiuyin with a very surprised look, "It's him..."
The person Rongqing thought of was the old principal, who Li Xiu only had a few scenes in his memory, but whom he spoke highly of.
There was only one reason for Rongqing's suspicion: the legend of the Ouija board. A normal school would never allow the Ouija board legend to spread. Yet, the old principal not only failed to stop it, but allowed it to continue. This in itself was a huge suspicion.
Furthermore, the daughters of all the deceased were students at the No. 2 Fishing Village Elementary School. In this small village, nearly every woman was oppressed, and only the girls at the No. 2 Fishing Village Elementary School were redeemed by the Ouija board. As for the families who sent their daughters to town, their situation was quite complex. It was clear that just a few years ago, they didn't care about their daughters, but now they treat them like precious treasures, nurturing them like the apple of their eye.
In Li Xiu's memory, these girls who were later sent to study in the town by their parents were also students of the No. 2 Primary School in the fishing village.
"It seems that we both think the same thing. Unfortunately, your intelligence network is probably useless in this area." Yu Jiuyin teased Rongqing.
"It doesn't matter, I have you." Rongqing didn't care.
Yu Jiuyin was stunned at first, then he smiled, "Rongrong, you always have me."
Rong Qing was stunned at first when he saw him smile like that, but then she joined in the laughter. Things had been going on a lot lately, and Yu Jiuyin had been weighed down by the Yu family's affairs. It had been a long time since she felt this relaxed. Rong Qing had originally thought that with Yu Jiuyin's personality, this case would probably keep him on the back burner for a long time. Fortunately, Yu Jiuyin wasn't too affected by it, and instead was able to relax.
"Because of you." Seeing what Rong Qing was thinking, Yu Jiuyin lowered his head and whispered the truth in Rong Qing's ear, "The Ghost Dao Heavenly Master can appease evil spirits, but this kind of appeasement is mutual. Rongrong, you can naturally appease me."
"We are indeed a match made in heaven." Yu Jiuyin said, lowering his head to place a kiss on Rongqing's lips.
The case still needed to be investigated. The next morning, Rongqing and Yu Jiuyin went to the village chief's house first. Their sole purpose was to learn about the old principal's personal situation. However, they received some surprising, yet also reasonable, information.
In all the cases related to the No. 2 Primary School in the fishing village, the first little girl to die was the daughter of the old principal.
"Where is his wife?" This was Yu Jiuyin's first reaction.
However, the village chief hesitated for a long time and said, "He ran away. When his daughter was just born, he ran away with someone else."
Something was wrong. Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
