While Ning Sheng was thinking, the baby had already climbed onto his shoulders.
His originally pure eyes suddenly became ferocious, he opened his bloody mouth and bit Ning Sheng's neck.
Ning Sheng's legs went weak and he fell to the ground, screaming, "Help!"
"Xinxin, stop it." A deep male voice sounded.
The moment the teeth bit down, the baby stopped as if it had received some instruction, and jumped off Ning Sheng's body with a "whoosh" and disappeared without a trace.
Ning Sheng sat on the ground in shock when he saw a dark shadow appear in the corner of the baby cave.
The man was wearing a black robe, and squatting on his shoulders was the baby who was about to swallow him.
Ning Sheng pointed at the black shadow and said, "Are you a human or a ghost? What on earth is that thing on your shoulder?"
The shadow chuckled softly, "Ning Sheng, don't you even recognize your own daughter? Look carefully, every needle in her body was inserted by you and your mother."
Ning Sheng shuddered. "Erniu has been dead for so many years, how could she still be a baby? Don't try to fool me!"
The dark shadow snapped his fingers, and the baby cave instantly became bright.
I saw that the cave was filled with various yellow talismans, and there was also a cinnabar red formation engraved on the ground.
"You have tortured and killed so many babies. If it weren't for this baby cave protecting you, the baby spirits would have come to seek revenge on you long ago. How could you have survived until today?"
Ning Sheng was stunned. The baby cave was always dark and he had only been there once. He never knew the scene inside was like this.
"I give you two choices, either you want to be eaten by Xinxin, or you want to be my subordinate and work for me?" The black shadow looked down at Ning Sheng.
Ning Sheng looked at the black shadow, then looked at the strange little baby on the black shadow's shoulder, staring at him like a wild beast.
At this moment, he finally understood that there really are ghosts in this world.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Ning Sheng asked, suppressing his fear.
The black shadow laughed: "You really know the situation. What I want you to do is very simple. Help me collect fresh souls."
"How, how do I collect it?"
The black shadow took out a glass bottle with yellow paper on the bottle body and handed it to Ning Sheng.
"It's very simple. I'll teach you a sentence. Whenever you kill someone, say this sentence, and that person's soul will be collected into this glass bottle."
Ning Sheng's eyes widened: "Kill, kill people?"
The shadow laughed sinisterly: "It's not like you haven't killed anyone before, why are you pretending to be innocent? Didn't you kill your daughter with your own hands?"
Ning Sheng took two steps back: "This, this is different, she is still a baby..."
"Because she was a defenseless baby, you could kill her without fear, but you'd be afraid to kill those who were able to resist?"
Ning Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Who isn't afraid of death?"
The black shadow laughed even louder: "That's why I'm attracted to you. Some people may be human, but they're no different from ghosts. I think Master will definitely like you!"
Ning Sheng knew he had no choice. He gritted his teeth and looked at the shadows: "I'm risking my life to do things for you. What good will it do me?"
The shadow looked at Ning Sheng with interest: "You are the first one who has the courage to negotiate with me. Tell me, what is your wish?"
"I want my son to be resurrected. Since you can control souls, you can definitely bring my son back to life, right?"
"He is the fruit of my life's labor, the only incense of Ning Sheng. If you can bring him back to life, I can slaughter the entire town for you!"
The shadow was silent for a moment, then suddenly nodded: "Okay, when you kill ninety-nine people, I will fulfill your wish for you."
After that, the black shadow waved his hand, and the baby jumped onto Ning Sheng's shoulder. Ning Sheng was so scared that he wet his pants and yelled in embarrassment, "Don't come over here!"
The black shadow seemed to be amused by Ning Sheng's actions and laughed out loud.
"This is your daughter. What are you afraid of? Don't worry, she won't hurt you. On the contrary, she will protect you. Enjoy this hard-earned father-daughter reunion!"
The laughter echoed in the baby cave, but the black shadow disappeared without a trace.
Ning Sheng limped down the mountain, and was still frightened from time to time by the baby's face on his shoulder.
The baby giggled and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
When he returned to Ningyuan Town, the sun had just risen from the horizon.
"A Sheng? Where have you been? How did it become like this?" A familiar voice came from not far away.
Ning Sheng stopped and gave Ning Kun a strange smile: "I have good news for you. My son Xiaohu is saved!"
Ning Kun looked at Ning Sheng and felt a chill down his spine for some reason.
I'm afraid he's gone crazy because of too much stress!
If he really went crazy, wouldn't he be unable to get back the 1.5 million he gave away?
"Don't you believe what I said?" Ning Sheng was angry and glared at Ning Kun fiercely.
Ning Kun sighed and comforted Ning Sheng: "Ah Sheng, the dead cannot be resurrected, you should get over it sooner rather than later. How about this, if you give me one million, I will introduce you to a wife and give birth to children for your family?
"You really don't believe me."
Ning Sheng sneered: "You want money, right? Come with me, I'll go back and give it to you."
Ning Kun was immediately happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ning Sheng, such a stingy person, could be so generous.
This is so crazy, so wonderful!
Ning Kun followed Ning Sheng happily to the only villa in the village.
Every time he went to Ning Sheng's house, Ning Kun couldn't help but sigh that Ning Sheng was so lucky. He married a beautiful wife without spending a penny, and after his wife's death, he received a large sum of compensation from the hospital.
However, when he thought about the recent series of events that happened in the Ning Sheng family, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Forget it, it’s better to live an honest life.
"You sit in the living room for a while, I'll go get the money." Ning Sheng said.
Ning Kun smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, take your time."
As long as you are willing to give him money, I am willing to let him wait as long as it takes.
What if Ning Sheng was really killed by a ghost? Who would he ask for the money?
That was the money he saved for his son’s wedding!
If Ning Sheng is lucky enough and doesn't die this time, the widow next door could consider tricking her into marrying Ning Sheng.
After sitting for a while, Ning Kun suddenly felt a little restless and his heart was pounding. When he looked up, he saw the Buddha statue enshrined in the center of the living room.
He stared at the Buddha statue for a while, walked forward, knelt down on the cushion, and recited silently in his heart.
"Please pray that the Buddha will bless my Ning Kun family and ensure that they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives!"
Ning Kun kowtowed three times devoutly and was about to stand up when he saw a dark shadow falling from behind him.
The black shadow was holding an axe in his hand.
