The paper effigy said that the moment the eyes were painted, the corpse regained its senses. If the coffin wasn't closed properly, it would think it was still alive and would climb out of the coffin.
Everyone was terrified upon hearing this, but they remained skeptical.
It wasn't until the moment they lifted the coffin that they realized the paper effigy figure was right.
Linghu Lan doesn't have the skill of making paper figures. However, if this cat appeared because of Wen Mo's novel, then other parts of Wen Mo's novel should also apply to this cat. Making a paper egg should be able to fool the cat, right?
Linghu Lan's skills were mediocre, but fortunately the woman understood what Linghu Lan meant. She was very skillful and wanted to end this nightmarish experience as soon as possible. After folding and gluing the egg several times, she carefully said, "As you know, cats have a strong reproductive ability. If no one manages them, they will quickly become a plague. I had the cat spayed or neutered for its own good. Actually, I didn't mean any harm."
It's unclear whether these words were meant for the cat or for Linghu Lan.
After securing the testicles, the woman took out paint and carefully painted them black. "Is it almost done? It should look pretty realistic, right?"
"Okay. Put it on the cat, and hold it steady."
The black cat stared intently at its female owner with its yellow eyes, then stuck out its little bottom.
Linghu Lan: "..." Even if I become a ghost, I'll still be a free-spirited and unrestrained ghost cat.
The woman cooperated by helping him up, while Linghu Lan made hand seals and chanted incantations.
Her hands moved with incredible speed, forming hand seals with a speed that was as fast as a butterfly flitting among flowers.
The woman was stunned. Finally, she felt relieved and gently stroked the cat's fur. "Black Bean, in your next life, I wish you a good family. I hope your new owner will love you just as much. Remember not to stay away from home too often, or you'll get stolen again."
"Meow!"
The black cat looked down at itself and could feel the paper ball merging with its body on its bottom. Then, its soul grew lighter and lighter until it finally faded away.
It glanced longingly at its owner, let out one last meow, and finally disappeared completely.
The woman choked up a little. The ghost she had always believed in had simply vanished. Joy and loss filled her heart at the same time. "Thank you! Thank you, Wenmo. I really don't know what I would have done without you. Thank you."
Linghu Lan stopped chanting the Rebirth Mantra, looked at the spot where the cat had disappeared. Now that it had a complete soul, the cat could be reincarnated and wouldn't come out to scare people anymore, so it wouldn't be subdued by Luo Ran'er, right?
"You're welcome. Things are settled here, and I should be going now."
"Oh! You're leaving so soon? Sit down and have some water. I forgot to pour you any water since you came in."
"No need, goodbye!" Linghu Lan waved her hand. She still had many things to do. The Spirit Cat incident gave her a new idea, which she was waiting to put into practice as soon as she got back.
Linghu Lan quickly walked out the door. The woman saw her to the door and watched her disappear into the darkness. Her heart was filled with joy and gratitude. After a while, she remembered that she hadn't paid yet, and hurriedly called out towards the door, "Wenmo, how much is it? You haven't collected the money yet."
In the darkness, no one answered her. The woman was a little bewildered, then burst into tears of joy. There were still many good people in this world.
