I shook my head and said seriously:
"Summoning a spirit isn't that simple. If we want to talk to him, we first need to find him a living body to possess. Being possessed by a ghost is no fun. At best, it can cause a minor illness and shorten one's lifespan; at worst, it can lead to mental derangement or even death!"
"Then what will you do?"
“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t use this method either, but firstly, Wu Heng’s resentment isn’t strong; he just has unresolved obsessions and generally won’t hurt anyone.”
"Secondly, the person I summoned to possess me is no ordinary person..."
I told Zhang Qiang about Li Huai's many unusual qualities, and he immediately widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"There are actually people like this in the world. He's probably seen more ghosts than the average person knows people!"
I shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
"That's right, but everyone has their own fate, so you don't need to pity him."
Luo Tianhe and Li Huai didn't keep us waiting too long. The forensic center isn't a place that just anyone can enter. Zhang Qiang and I went to meet them at the entrance after receiving their call.
Everyone here knows Zhang Qiang. When they saw that it was Zhang Qiang who came to pick them up, even though they felt that Luo Tianhe, who was wrapped in a black cloth, was a bit strange, they still let him go without asking any questions.
"Your friend has a pretty high status here."
Luo Tianhe nudged me lightly and said in a low voice.
"No, it's just that I'm familiar with them, and they trust me not to do anything reckless."
Zhang Qiang overheard Luo Tianhe's almost whispered words and turned around to explain.
Soon, our group arrived in front of Wu Heng. When Li Huai and Luo Tianhe saw the terrible stitches on his body, they both gasped in shock.
Of course, it's not that I'm bad at cobbling; it's just that this isn't the final product yet, and I haven't used any cosmetics to cover up the traces of stitching the corpse.
"This guy died a pretty tragic death."
Luo Tianhe put down his things and couldn't help but mutter something to himself.
"They all died with their eyes wide open in disbelief!"
"If you can't speak properly, then say less."
I glared at Luo Tianhe, just about to tell Li Huai that I wanted to summon his spirit to possess him.
He spoke up readily before I could:
"Brother Yan, Brother Luo already told me that it's just being possessed by a ghost, it's a piece of cake! My life is yours!"
Although Li Huai appeared fearless on the surface, his pale face and trembling legs betrayed his true feelings.
Who wouldn't be afraid of being possessed by a ghost?
I comforted him:
"Li Huai, relax. This ghost's evil aura isn't strong, and besides, you have a special constitution and see ghosts every day, so your yin energy might be even stronger than his. By the way, Luo Tianhe, give Li Huai 20,000 yuan afterward to buy some tonics."
Upon hearing that there was money to be made, the fear in Li Huai's heart vanished instantly.
So what if she's possessed? Come at me!
Although I've only seen Master Jin perform a spirit summoning ceremony once, it left a deep impression on me. After roughly setting up the ritual according to my memory, I began assigning tasks.
Luo Tianhe was in charge of burning paper money, and the burning of paper money could not stop until the soul-summoning was over, while Zhang Qiang was in charge of scattering rice.
Although I didn't prepare as thoroughly as Master Jin, the targets of the summoning ceremony were different. Bai Su was a vengeful spirit, and her appearance was quite grand, with palace maids, sedan chair bearers, and old women. But Wu Heng, to be honest, was just a nobody. Even if the summoning ceremony failed, I was confident I could handle it.
With everything prepared, I took out a blank talisman, wrote Wu Heng's birth date and time on it, and called out:
"May Wu Heng's spirit swiftly transcend the netherworld! As Yin and Yang converge, may his soul return to this form..."
As I called out, a chilling wind howled, and the lit candles flickered precariously, as if they might go out at any moment.
Perhaps because it's a forensic center, no wandering ghosts came to eat.
Soon, Li Huai, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them. His eyes were completely black, with no whites.
Zhang Qiang's hands trembled slightly when he saw this scene for the first time, but he quickly regained his composure, much better than Su Mingyang had been back then.
As I presided over the ceremony, I asked:
"Wu Heng, do you know why your wife has turned into a vengeful ghost?"
"Jingwen, Jingwen,"
The voice of a strange man came out of Li Huai's mouth. At this moment, his face was distorted, as if he was in great pain, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
I made a sword-finger gesture with my right hand and stirred it in the yin-yang water bowl! At the same time, I pinched a talisman with my left hand, and the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without fire.
Then I placed my right sword finger over the talisman fire. When the yellow talisman completely turned to ashes, I pointed my finger at Li Huai's brow.
Li Huai froze instantly, and I repeated what I had just said.
This time, "Wu Heng" did not cause any more trouble.
"Yes, it was Jingwen's father. He took Jingwen's body and somehow managed to bring her back to life."
Upon hearing this, I immediately frowned.
As expected, this is the worst-case scenario!
What kind of possession of a corpse and resurrection is this? It's clearly a wicked technique of raising ghosts!
Wu Heng's father-in-law is also a well-known entrepreneur in the city. Although he is not as rich as Zeng, he still wields great power, so it is normal for him to know some sorcerers who know evil arts.
Seeing the blank looks on Luo Tianhe and the others' faces, I quickly explained to them.
Luo Tianhe's face turned ashen, his fists clenched, and he cursed angrily:
"None of these rich people are good; they're all secretly harboring evildoers to harm others!"
Zhang Qiang frowned deeply, but remained silent.
"Wu Heng, why did you go to the crossroads to burn paper money beforehand? Did Jingwen come looking for you?"
The possessed Li Huai slowly nodded and replied:
“That’s right. Although I killed Jingwen, she doesn’t hate me, but she wants to take revenge on my mother.”
“I had no choice but to seek help from a master. He told me to take a black and white photo of my mother to the crossroads and burn paper money. He said that this way, Jingwen would mistake me for someone else and kill me, and she would be reincarnated, and my mother could live on.”
This master is lying to him!
Ghosts who have taken lives must atone for their sins; they cannot simply reincarnate!
However, I won't tell Wu Heng any of this, as that would only provoke him and might even intensify his resentment.
"One last question, what is your obsession?"
Originally, I wanted to ask why he brought his mother's black and white photo to burn paper money, but now that question has been answered, I changed my question.
Upon hearing my question, "Wu Heng" widened his eyes, which had no whites.
"I want to know, is my mother dead?"
This obsession is easy to resolve.
I took out the three-edged bone needle.
"You should remember me, right? I was the one who sewed up your body before."
Li Huai nodded stiffly.
"I was called here by this police officer at the last minute. Your mother is anxious to see you one last time, so I need to make sure you look presentable so she won't be too heartbroken. You probably don't want to face your mother with her eyes wide open in death, do you?"
