Chapter 388 Exchange Conditions
"But I am just a spirit, I can't clean things at all, I can't touch physical objects."
"Your worries are a bit unnecessary. You're a hanged ghost, and you've been dead for so many years. The resentment on your body is enough for you to transform into enormous energy. I can lend you a little help so you can touch something real."
As she spoke, Tang Wan'er recited some incantation, walked in the air and made a gesture, thus drawing a talisman in the air.
The talisman quickly entered the creature's body.
"Try again now and see if you can touch the actual object."
The thing touched the table next to it, and surprisingly, it actually managed to touch it.
For a moment, the thing was actually a little moved.
What was originally flowing from the eyes was blood, but now it has turned into tears.
It didn't say anything, but instead started cleaning the room on its own.
Tang Wan'er just watched the thing cleaning, her hands constantly circling its eyeballs.
"By the way, why did you attempt suicide before? How many years have you been dead?"
The thing's body suddenly stiffened; this topic was of little interest to him.
That seems far too sensitive.
“I don’t know how many years I’ve been dead, I don’t even know what year it is now. My whole family is dead, what’s the point of me being alive alone? I originally thought that after I died, I could go down to join them, but I never expected that after I died I would be trapped in this house and never be able to get out…”
Tang Wan'er didn't say anything more. Everyone has their own sad stories. If they weren't heartbroken, how could they possibly end their own lives?
The thing cleaned the house with remarkable speed and efficiency, probably because rural people are generally hardworking and it must have done this kind of housework frequently in its lifetime, which is why it was able to do it so skillfully.
In fact, the world is very similar to humanity. Although these things have both good and bad aspects, they can be defined according to human standards.
They actually have human nature too, but after they die, too much resentment remains in their minds and bodies.
Memories will gradually fade, and the only thing that remains is the pain of death. Without anyone to help you pass on, you will remain in that place forever.
The cycle repeats itself, and even a normal person can go crazy one day.
After a long silence, Tang Wan'er suddenly said, "I will stay here for seven days. During these seven days, you will become my servant. If you behave well, I will perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife before I leave, so that you can reunite with your family."
The thing burst into tears.
Perhaps he has lived here alone for decades, or even centuries.
I was incredibly excited to suddenly find out that I could leave this place.
It immediately knelt down in front of Tang Wan'er, "Thank you, thank you..."
Tang Wan'er placed the eyeballs in her hand into its two empty holes.
"Don't thank me too soon. What you do has to satisfy me. I have very high standards. Also, when I'm asleep, you have to stand guard at the door for me. Don't peek in or let anyone else in."
"No problem, no problem. Whatever your request, I'll agree to it. I guarantee I'll complete the task and you won't be disappointed!"
As Fu Yanzun passed by the door, he heard Tang Wan'er talking inside.
Hearing footsteps, Tang Wan'er gave that thing a look.
