What is that?
Was I possessed by a ghost?
This sounds incredibly absurd, but looking at Xiaomi's grief-stricken expression, it doesn't seem like she's lying.
Xiaomi ignored my surprise, took out the phone I used last night, and opened the private photo album.
I glanced at it casually and was instantly stunned by what it contained.
The album contains many photos and videos, some of which are shockingly explicit.
Some of them are photos taken with various cute little animals, such as lively baby dolphins and docile black cows;
Others are photos taken with other people...

...
Xiaomi noticed my gaze, glanced at me, and gave a wry smile: "If you want to see more, I'll go to the 'arsenal' and pick out a set for you to shoot later."
I awkwardly touched my nose, thinking to myself, it's not like I want to see it, it's just that you put it in front of me. If I don't look at it, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?
But what is an "arsenal"?
Xiaomi eventually found a video named "video.MP4 (26)" and opened it.
A bright and cozy room appeared in the picture.
The room was filled with all sorts of plush toys.
The time shown in the video is 1:30 a.m.
Xiaomi, wearing a nightgown, staggered into the room.
It was clear from her swaying manner that she was extremely drunk.
Xiaomi pointed to the video and said in a low voice, "This is the second month since I threw away the paper coffin."
"The second month?"
I couldn't help but ask, "But didn't you say before..."
"That's right, it's been two months, and that 'person' comes almost every night."
Xiao Mi's eyes were filled with fear and despair: "No matter how many times I throw away the paper coffin, it will inexplicably reappear in my house, sometimes in the bathroom, sometimes on the table."
"And every night I feel like someone is pressing down on me, that feeling..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and the expression on her face was pained and contorted.
After a pause, Xiaomi continued, "So I installed a security camera in my bedroom."
As they were talking, Xiaomi, who was on the monitor, walked to the bedside and opened the bedside table.
That's when I finally understood what she meant by "armory".
The bedside table was filled with light weapons, and even a few heavy weapons.
Those large-caliber gun barrels looked particularly glaring in the picture, making people's hearts pound.
About ten minutes later, Xiaomi drifted off to sleep.
A few minutes later, the surveillance video began to flicker violently, and dense static appeared.
"It's here, it's here!"
Xiao Mi's body trembled violently. She quickly lit a cigarette, trying to use nicotine to alleviate her inner fear.
But her hands were trembling violently, and the cigarette kept swaying between her fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a paper coffin appear on the bedside table without any warning.
I couldn't believe my eyes, so I rubbed them hard, thinking I was seeing things.
But the paper coffin still lay there quietly.
When did this paper coffin appear?
I quickly dragged the progress bar back, staring intently at the screen, not wanting to miss a single detail.
But no one could see when the paper coffin appeared; it seemed to have just appeared out of thin air.
Xiao Mi said with a wry smile, "I've tried it. This paper coffin just appears out of thin air. No matter how I try to prevent it, it will appear in my room right on time."
Just then, in the scene, the blanket covering Xiaomi slowly lifted by itself, as if an invisible hand was operating it.
Although the surveillance footage did not show the "ghost," Xiao Mi began to fidget restlessly in her sleep, making soft groans, with a pained yet dazed expression on her face.
Ten minutes later, the video ended, and the room fell into a deathly silence once again.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Xiaomi and I remained silent.
I looked at the paper coffin on the table and broke the suffocating silence: "Didn't you think about burning the paper coffin?"
Upon hearing my words, Xiaomi's emotions instantly collapsed, her eyes filled with despair and pain, and she became extremely agitated.
"I've thought about it, I've tried countless times! But I just can't throw it away, and I can't burn it!"
As she spoke, she buried her face in her hands and burst into tears.
The cries were heart-wrenching, as if it were an outpouring of all the pain endured over the past two months.
Looking at her like this, I felt a pang of pity: "You came to Ruiwei Village for this? You want to find [Hidden Immortal in the Mist] to get rid of that ghost beside you?"
Xiao Mi slowly raised her head, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "I originally wanted to find [Hidden Fairy Trace in the Mist] to see if I could find the White Fox, but then I heard you say that Grandma Sun can cut paper figures."
A chill ran down my spine: "So when you heard that Grandma Sun could cut paper figures, you thought of using me?"
"It wouldn't exactly be considered taking advantage of them!"
Xiaomi smiled wryly, a self-deprecating expression on her face: "I just want to know if she put it there. If it wasn't her, I want to see if she can help me."
As she said this, she subconsciously touched her stomach, her expression becoming extremely complicated, with both fear and helplessness in her eyes.
"Because I have it."
Xiaomi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but in the quiet room it was like a thunderclap.
"What?"
I was truly stunned this time, and I couldn't speak for a long time.
"You...you mean...you're pregnant with that thing's child?"
