"Do you remember when they were still pretending, they kept trying to get us to go to Xiaoxiao's room, and they even tried to steer the conversation toward that rock?"
"That stone is absolutely key! It's probably not just something that's been tainted with yin energy; it could very well be a medium used to target their resentment and amplify their ferocity!"
I believe some of the accounts are incomplete, but some evil practices utilize the soil, stones, and remains from mass graves or ancient battlefields. These things absorb a great deal of blood, resentment, and malevolence from the battlefield.
Placing something tainted with resentment near ordinary people can subtly influence their minds and attract evil spirits.
The person behind this is quite powerful; they were able to fix their souls in the place of death after they died, and twist and catalyze their resentment, which is what we see as Su Xiaoxiao's family.
"So if we want to communicate with them and help them get rid of this problem, the first thing we need to do is get rid of that white stone."
I said with certainty.
"But that thing is in Su Xiaoxiao's room, and they're in the living room right now..."
Li Huai looked towards the living room, still feeling somewhat shaken.
"It's alright, they shouldn't be able to recover for a while."
I concluded.
“This is an opportunity. Let’s split up. Luo Tianhe, you and I will go to Su Xiaoxiao’s bedroom to find that stone. Li Huai, you stay in the living room and hide behind the sofa. Use this to keep an eye on the situation.”
I handed Li Huai a small Bagua mirror and several talismans for warding off evil.
"If he doesn't recover, use a mirror to reflect the light and dazzle them, or throw out talismans to buy time. Don't fight him head-on, and call out to us loudly."
"I don't dare to fight head-on."
Li Huai muttered something, his face full of bitterness.
"Hey Yan, we're all in the same building, is it really necessary to split up? I've watched so many horror movies over the years, splitting up is a major taboo in warfare!"
Seeing this cowardly guy, I couldn't help but get angry. I glared at him and said, "Don't worry about anything else. You believe what they show in horror movies? Just do it!"
Although Li Huai was afraid, he knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded.
Luo Tianhe and I carefully made our way across the edge of the living room.
The Su family of three was still in chaos. Su Xiaoxiao was lying on her side on the ground, her body twitching intermittently, and she kept muttering to herself.
Su's parents were upside down, but their movements were slow and chaotic. Occasionally, their heads would unconsciously bump against the floor, making a dull thud, which was far less purposeful and oppressive than before.
Honestly, if you ignore the grotesque and terrifying looks on their faces, it's like a comedy.
Luo Tianhe and I held our breath and pressed ourselves against the wall as we quickly slipped into Su Xiaoxiao's room.
Using the dim, flickering light coming from the living room, we quickly searched.
The object was quickly found by the bedside. The stone was about the size of an adult's fist, with a translucent white surface that seemed to emit a hazy glow in the dim light.
It has an irregular shape, but at first glance it does look like a beautiful pebble.
Young girls might actually pick this up and take it home.
"This thing doesn't seem to have any problems, are you sure?"
Luo Tianhe reached out and poked the stone.
That kid's got some nerve.
I was speechless for a moment, then took out a yellow talisman: "Hehe, guess what will happen if you wrap this stone with a yellow talisman?"
Luo Tianhe shook his head.
I wrapped the talisman with cinnabar inscription around the stone, and the talisman burst into flames the moment it touched the stone, quickly turning into a cloud of bluish-gray.
The stone then revealed its true form: a human bone.
Luo Tianhe's mouth dropped open. The bone was covered in scarlet runes, which were still writhing and twisting like living worms.
"It really is an evil spell."
I grinned.
I always carry a lot of things in my bag, not only talismans, but also black dog blood, rooster throat bone powder, and a bunch of other talismans to ward off evil.
I poured the black dog blood mixed with rooster throat bone powder onto the human bone. Soon, the runes on the human bone began to writhe and shrink as if they had encountered other leeches. The bone itself also changed from being fresh and still bloody to quickly becoming weathered and cracked.
As the stone shattered, the activities of the Su family of three in the living room suddenly changed.
The painful groans and the sounds of impact abruptly ceased, followed by a long, painful wail from Su Xiaoxiao.
It wasn't the screams filled with fear that came before, but a kind of weeping that felt both liberating and filled with endless sorrow.
Luo Tianhe and I exchanged a glance, wrapped the now grayish-white stone in a yellow talisman, casually stuffed it into our pockets, and then walked into the living room.
The scene in the living room had changed drastically; the Su family of three was no longer in that terrifying and bizarre upside-down position.
Mr. and Mrs. Su stood unsteadily in the middle of the living room, supporting each other. Their faces were still pale, and the dents on their heads had not disappeared. They still looked like they could frighten a three-year-old child.
But the resentment in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a sense of bewilderment, pain, and exhaustion.
Su Xiaoxiao sat on the ground, covering her face and sobbing softly, her shoulders shaking.
"Mom and Dad, it's my fault. I shouldn't have picked up that stone."
"It's alright, child, it's not your fault."
Su's father reached out his large hand and stroked Su Xiaoxiao's forehead. It has to be said that this scene was really touching, but it would have been even better if Su Xiaoxiao's forehead hadn't been dented and Su's father hadn't touched her brain directly.
When they saw us come out, Mr. and Mrs. Su looked up, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Su Xiaoxiao also lowered her hand, revealing a pale but delicate young girl's face, looking at us timidly.
"You guys... destroyed that thing?"
Su's father's voice was still hoarse, with a hint of uncertainty.
"Um!"
I nodded, trying to keep my tone calm: "You guessed it, didn't you? You were the victims. Someone deliberately had Xiaoxiao bring that stone back to harm you."
"His goal is probably to get back at you."
When Su's father asked, his tone was extremely certain.
I nodded heavily.
In a way, we killed that family of three. If it weren't for the richest man in the country trying to use evil magic against us, they wouldn't have been implicated.
They shouldn't have died such a tragic death.
"Hehe, don't look so serious. I don't blame you. You are innocent."
Su's father continued, even managing to force an awkward smile.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. Su's father was a very good person; he shouldn't have died such a tragic death.
"I will tell you everything you want to know."
He continued speaking.
"What exactly happened? Why did your family jump down?"
Seeing that I didn't speak, Luo Tianhe asked from the side.
"That night, we..."
Su's father spoke with difficulty, the memories seeming to cause him immense pain.
