Zhang Xiaoting clutched her head, crying out in anguish, "Stop talking! I'm not your mother, I'm not!"
She burst into tears as she spoke.
The ghost baby's dark eyes also welled up with tears, and it kept calling out, "Mommy, Mommy."
Her little face looked so wronged; if it weren't for her words just now, she would have evoked a bit of pity in people.
Chen Haiguo said coldly, "You keep saying she's not your child, then where are the children you gave birth to?"
"I...I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't had a child." Zhang Xiaoting's eyes darted around.
Jiang Tangzheng got angry when he saw that her words were incoherent.
"I see you won't admit it until you're faced with a dire situation. Do you need to see the doctor's diagnosis report? Postpartum hemorrhage."
"You're telling us you haven't had any children? Do you think we're stupid?!"
“You are eighteen years old now, an adult, and you must take responsibility for your actions. As far as we know, this ghost baby has already killed one person and injured two others.”
"Intentional homicide and intentional assault, I bet you want to spend your next life in jail!"
"No, I really didn't kill anyone!" She glanced at the ghost baby in terror.
“I… gave birth yesterday. She was crying very loudly, and I was scared. I just didn’t want to disturb anyone else, so I covered her mouth with my hand.”
"When I let go, she was already dead. I was terrified, so I left her in the bathroom."
“I thought she was dead. I didn’t expect her to be alive. I certainly didn’t instruct her to kill or injure anyone.”
After her wounds were treated, Zhao Xiaoying sighed, "You killed your own child with your own hands, yet she loved you so much. I only knew that maternal love was great, but I never imagined that the child loved his mother even more."
"Teacher Zhao, I'd like to ask you a question. What is the probability of a ghost baby forming without any human intervention?"
Zhao Xiaoying paused for a moment, then said, "It's almost impossible. The biggest difference between a ghost infant and a little ghost is that the former requires refining the corpse, while the latter is just a soul."
She suddenly realized, "Either Zhang Xiaoting is lying, or someone stole the dead baby and turned it into a ghost baby."
A name immediately popped into Kui Kui's mind: Li Ke'er.
Anyone who could break into the girls' dormitory bathroom in the middle of the night is very likely to live in Building 4.
Zhao Xiaoying asked tentatively, "Did you think of her too?"
Kui Kui nodded slightly.
Jiang Tang asked curiously, "Do you have someone you suspect?"
"Hmm." Kui Kui responded faintly, then asked the ghost infant, "Who woke you up?"
The ghost baby looked at Kui Kui with a confused expression, then looked at Zhang Xiaoting and replied, "Mom."
Zhao Xiaoying frowned and said, "Kui Kui, the ghost infant's mind is not fully developed yet. Its actions are mostly instinctive or controlled. You may not be able to get the answer out of it."
Kui Kui thought for a moment, took out his phone, found an old group photo of the 404 dormitory, pointed at Li Ke'er, and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"
The ghost baby instinctively tried to nod, but its eyes suddenly became empty, and it numbly shook its head.
Zhao Xiaoying sighed and said, "Newborn babies should be nestled in swaddling clothes, receiving much care. But now they are being used as tools for murder."
"No matter who it is, they are unforgivable."
She then looked at Zhang Xiaoting and said, "Children are like blank sheets of paper. If the parents are kind-hearted, she will be too. Zhang Xiaoting, even if you didn't instruct her to kill, you did harbor malice towards Sun Xin."
“If you don’t want this child, you can have an abortion. But since you chose to give birth to her, you should respect her decision.”
“From the moment she was born, she was a natural person.”
“You have no right to take her life. It’s not fair to her.”
Jiang Tangzheng chimed in, "That's right. Your actions are illegal."
The ghost baby snapped out of its daze and bared its teeth at the two of them, saying, "You're not allowed to be mean to Mom!"
Zhang Xiaoting looked at the ghost baby calling out "Mom" repeatedly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She killed her own daughter, so why does she still defend herself in every way?
She doesn't deserve it!
Zhang Xiaoting slowly moved off the bed and crawled to the front of the ghost baby.
The bathroom lights were dim last night, and she didn't even have a chance to get a good look at her child.
The ghost baby has big, double-lidded eyes; she'll definitely grow up to be a beautiful girl.
"Mom was wrong, Mom is sorry."
"Mommy, don't cry. I'm hungry, so hungry!"
Zhang Xiaoting reached out to hug the ghost baby.
Kui Kui exerted force with his five fingers, dragging the ghost baby half a meter toward himself.
“The ghost baby killed people first and injured others later. I must send her away. Your bond as mother and daughter is over.”
"If you sincerely repent, then set up a memorial tablet for her and properly perform the rituals to help her escape suffering and be reborn."
Seeing that it was further away from Zhang Xiaoting, the ghost baby started wailing, "Mommy, hungry, Grandma!"
Zhang Xiaoting crawled on her knees towards the ghost baby again, pleading, "Let me feed the child some milk before sending her away! Even if I become a ghost, I'll at least die with a full stomach."
Zhao Xiaoying softened and said, "Kui Kui, the baby is innocent and pitiful. Why not grant her wish before sending her away?"
Kui Kui's clenched fist gradually relaxed.
Zhang Xiaoting hurriedly stepped forward, clumsily picked up the ghost baby, and said, "Sweetie, are you hungry? Mommy will feed you."
With her back to Chen Haiguo, Jiang Tangzheng, and the others, she unbuttoned two buttons.
He held the ghost baby close to his left chest.
Because her body blocked the view, no one saw the eerie smile on the ghost baby's face.
A ghost baby is an infant, but also an evil ghost.
She took a bite and began to suck hard.
She loves her mother!
But she wanted to live even more.
The sweet milk flowed into his belly, and the ghost baby closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tenderness.
She strained, and the milk, mixed with her heart's blood, fell into her mouth.
When she opened her eyes again, Kuroko's eyes had turned blood red.
Kui Kui immediately noticed the strangeness of the ghost baby.
"Oops!"
She clenched her right fist, trying to tighten the red threads around the puppet, but it was too late.
The red threads binding the ghost infant were broken.
