Unfortunately, Luo Tianhe clearly didn't think that way.
He pressed himself against me so hard he almost pushed me off the bed.
For no other reason than the child's body was already touching his calves, and he could feel the cold touch emanating from the child.
Under the bed, the child seemed to have reason prevail.
“I heard what you two were saying under the bed just now.”
"Can you break this formation?!"
He stared intently at me, and I could feel the longing in his eyes.
He desperately wanted me to break the formation so that he could be freed.
I nodded silently, and said in a somewhat muffled voice:
"That's right, but you will be in great pain, and then you will disappear, leaving no trace of yourself in this world."
"Moreover, their souls will be completely scattered, leaving them with no hope of reincarnation!"
But upon hearing what I said, he did not hesitate at all:
"Then hurry up and start, make me disappear, or I will definitely kill both of you!"
I could hear the resoluteness in his voice; it seemed he had no attachment to this world whatsoever.
I gave a bitter smile. This child was born an orphan, without parents to care for him.
Having experienced such inhumane treatment in the orphanage, they probably have no hope or attachment to this world left!
Hearing that their souls would be scattered and they would never be able to reincarnate, they probably thought that would be even better!
Luo Tianhe, who had just wanted to stay as far away from the child as possible, fell silent and stopped moving closer to me.
The reason this child is so twisted is because his life has been so tragic.
The hatred Luo Tianhe had felt towards the child vanished instantly.
Since he's already said that, I have nothing more to say.
"Then, have a safe journey."
I said that, and then began to chant "Celestial Joy"!
I often heard my grandfather sing this when I was a child, so I naturally know it very well.
Fortunately, I had been inside the Binhai Building before and knew how to exorcise this earthbound spirit; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything.
When I sang "Celestial Joy," the little boy immediately clutched his chest in immense pain, rolling on the ground and frantically scratching at his heart.
He used so much force that he ripped open his clothes, revealing his thin, bony body.
Luo Tianhe fell silent, because his emaciated body was covered with all sorts of scars.
No wonder he had no attachment to this world whatsoever.
I continued reciting "The Joy of Immortals," perhaps for him, the best choice was for his soul to be scattered.
As the pace quickened, his pain intensified, yet a twisted, almost liberating smile appeared on his face.
He began vomiting large mouthfuls of black blood, which was full of various internal organs and writhing maggots.
The body, which was already skin and bones, continued to shrink, as if it had become a withered skeleton.
"By the way, I've met the person you're looking for."
Suddenly, he spoke with difficulty.
"He's in this dormitory building!"
After saying this, he let out a bloodcurdling scream, and then his body became transparent.
Not long after, he completely vanished.
The only proof that he had ever been to this world was the pile of disgusting filth on the ground.
I silently flicked out a yellow talisman, turning the filth on the ground into ashes, and then began chanting the Rebirth Mantra.
Although that child has already passed away.
Luo Tianhe stared blankly at the ashes for a long time before finally speaking in a hoarse voice:
"That child, just like that, gone?"
I nodded, my feelings incredibly complicated.
Although the formation was broken, this depressing ending still leaves me feeling suffocated.
"Let's go." I breathed a sigh of relief and cheered myself up. "At least he gave us useful information at the last moment. Li Huai is indeed in this dormitory building."
I changed the subject, trying to escape the oppressive atmosphere.
I crawled out from under the bed, and the room had returned to normal.
The door that I couldn't open no matter how hard I pulled before, now opens with a click as soon as I gently turn the handle.
The pitch-black corridor stretched out before us, but under the illumination of our cell phone flashlights, it was completely different from before!
On the originally dilapidated and charred walls, countless bloody handprints appeared, stretching from the floor to the ceiling.
The air was filled with a strong smell of rust, like the smell of dried blood.
"What...what's going on?" Luo Tianhe looked at the change in horror.
I frowned: "With the formation broken, the resentment here has gone out of control and is beginning to reveal its true form."
I observed carefully, and thankfully the footprints on the ground were still there. We were able to follow the footprints and try to find Li Huai's traces.
Lu Tianhe touched the goosebumps on his body and frowned:
"I feel like the hallway is even colder."
"Because the yin energy is heavier here."
I offered a casual explanation and then continued walking forward, following the footprints.
From the darkness deep in the corridor came faint sobs, not from one person, but from the combined cries of dozens of children, echoing in the empty corridor and sending chills down one's spine.
We endured the discomfort and followed the footprints. The floor beneath our feet became sticky, and each step made a "patter" sound.
The doors on both sides were wide open at some point, and dark shadows were moving around in each room.
“They’re watching us,” Luo Tianhe said, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Indeed, with each door we passed, we could feel countless eyes on us.
There were no complete ghosts in those rooms, only fragmented shadows, a suspended eye, a floating mouth, or a hand reaching out from a crack in the door.
Although these things did not cause us any real harm, they made us increasingly silent.
Countless children have died in this orphanage; it's haunted by vengeful spirits!
I clenched my fists, wishing I could smash that dean into a bloody mess with every punch.
Even if he couldn't do these things alone, he must have been involved in them.
At the same time, doubts involuntarily arose in my mind.
Why has Li Huai never talked to us about the strange things that happened at the orphanage? It's as if this is just a normal orphanage.
I was puzzled and planned to confront Li Huai after we met, demanding to know why he was doing this and what he was thinking!
Just then, we finally followed the footprints and arrived at the end of the corridor.
My feet stopped right in front of the wall, and I didn't know whether to go to the room on the left or the room on the right.
Luo Tianhe and I exchanged a glance and finally decided to open the door on the left.
