The smiles on the two adults' faces froze, then turned into confusion, and finally cracked visibly.
Meng Yubai's heart tightened suddenly, thinking that his parents were frightened, and he quickly said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, my classmate is very capable. She said she can catch this ghost herself."
Meng's parents hadn't actually realized what was happening yet.
But they clearly understood one thing—the good-for-nothing son didn't have a girlfriend!
Meng's mother was about to cry.
In her mind, the soft, fluffy pear turned into a swan and flew away, while her own duck son was ugly and dirty, flapping his wings but unable to fly.
well!
Mother Meng's disappointment was palpable.
but……
What did my son just say?
What's in your home?
After going through a series of thought processes, Meng's mother and father finally returned to where they started.
Mr. Meng asked in an incredulous tone, "What did you just say?"
Meng Yubai said seriously, "I said, there's a ghost in the house, a big ghost, a fierce ghost!"
Amidst their astonished expressions, Meng Yubai recounted everything that had happened over the past month: "That's how it happened. I did see Mom often smiling in front of the mirror for no reason, and a face that didn't belong to you appeared in the mirror. At night, I was indeed choked by a vengeful ghost."
Meng Yubai's collarbone area has never been exposed to the sun; it's completely white, and the marks from when he was pinched by a vengeful ghost a week ago are still there.
Wen Li handed the two of them the documents she had prepared in advance: "I am a member of the Celestial Masters Association. This document contains my temporary work certificate and related responsibility statement. I will solve your problem, but you must ensure that you do not tell anyone."
The Celestial Masters Association stipulates that these matters cannot be known to a wide range of people. If anyone finds out, they must sign a letter of responsibility. Once signed, it is as if one has sworn an oath to the Heavenly Way, and it is impossible for them to tell anyone else.
Meng's parents each picked up a few pieces of paper, and they were even more stunned when they saw Wen Li's temporary work permit.
"How...how could there be ghosts?"
What was supposed to be a happy family reunion turned into a battle against Sadako.
"It's quite a coincidence. Auntie, the yellow chrysanthemum dressing mirror you bought was a burial item. That ghost has been living inside it for so many years, and then you brought it back, wanting to take over your body."
"Possession?"
Wen Li nodded and casually asked about Meng's mother's birth date and time. Then, in front of everyone, she made a calculation: "Your birth date and time do indeed match that of the vengeful ghost. That vengeful ghost has been living in the dressing mirror for many years, but because of her heavy sins in life, if she is reincarnated, she will have to go through various punishments. But if she doesn't go to the underworld, she will only be able to scatter her soul in the future. I guess she is probably close to that, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry to possess someone else's body."
Meng's mother was pale.
She couldn't recall ever buying a yellow chrysanthemum wood mirror, but she did have one at home. However, she had a brand-new makeup mirror next to her bed, and had never used the mirror Wen Li had mentioned.
Mother Meng's lips trembled, and a chill ran down her spine: "I... I don't remember when I bought it."
Wen Li went over to comfort her, saying, "It's normal not to remember. If a vengeful ghost wants to harm someone, it will bewitch their mind. Your birth dates and times are similar to hers. As long as you have seen that mirror, you will inexplicably bring it back."
After a pause, Wen Li continued, "But it's okay, I'll exorcise the ghost tonight."
Ghosts, if they harm people, cannot be allowed to live.
Wen Li's eyes darkened, and then she told her parents, who hadn't yet reacted, to prepare what they needed.
After buying everything she needed, Wen Li retreated to her room and began drawing talismans.
Downstairs from the villa—
Wen's mother was completely stunned.
Wen's father was even more clueless.
They huddled together on the sofa.
Mr. Wen asked weakly, "So, our son has absolutely no relationship with Wen Li?"
Mrs. Wen stiffly turned her head away, then suddenly sneered, "With your son's pathetic appearance, does he even deserve my little darling?"
Mr. Wen: "..."
Meng Yubai, standing nearby: ? ? ?
Looking at his own parents, he finally understood why they had been acting so strangely before.
"Mom and Dad, what are you thinking?" Meng Yubai was speechless. "Although Wen Li and I are classmates, we've never spoken to each other. The reason we met is because of this incident. I originally planned to go to the park to find Master Zhou, but then I found out that Master Zhou's son died, and that's how I met Wen Li."
"How would I know any of this?" Meng's mother felt wronged, thinking that she had already prepared the red envelopes, but who knew it would turn out like this.
She glanced at her son and said, "But it's for the best, you're not good enough for her anyway."
Meng Yubai: "..."
In the room, Wen Li had prepared everything.
After going downstairs, she gave the three members of the Meng family three talismans: "Tonight when I catch ghosts, in order to prevent the ghosts from harming you, you must keep them close to your bodies."
The group carefully put away the talismans, and Meng Yubai asked, "Is there anything we can do to help then?"
"Yes." Wen Li nodded without hesitation: "If you can see ghosts, try to shout as quietly as possible."
The three people: ...
Night fell quickly, and the orange-yellow moon, haloed in light, was utterly serene in the dark blue night.
Mrs. Wen gave the housekeeper a day off, and the villa was empty and quiet, with only the laughter from a TV variety show in the living room.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wen Li finally turned off the TV.
The next second, the lights in the entire villa flickered, a strong gust of wind rushed in through the doors and windows, and all the leaves outside were blown into the living room.
The three members of the Wen family were so drenched in the wind that they couldn't open their eyes.
Wen Li calmly stood up and said, "I'm here."
She calmly began arranging her things. Although the small ornaments in the room were blown all over the place by the wind, the divination table in front of Wen Li remained completely unharmed.
Wen Li brought the portrait of the patriarch over in the morning, and it was now placed directly in front of her.
After arranging the incense and candles, Wen Li quickly made hand seals, chanted incantations, and then shouted, "Freeze!"
The flickering lights immediately returned to normal, and even the strong winds outside suddenly subsided considerably.
However, after a few seconds of silence, everyone heard a loud bang from all around. The doors and windows were slammed shut and locked from the inside, the overhead light shattered with a crack, and then the crystal chandelier plummeted from the sky.
The entire villa went dark instantly.
The three members of the Meng family huddled together, looking at Wen Li in front of them.
At first, Meng's parents were skeptical, but now they had no choice but to believe it.
The two of them wanted to faint, but at the crucial moment they were unusually clear-headed, a state of mind that they could never achieve even after drinking eight cups of coffee!
"Wen, Wen Li." Meng Yubai, protecting his parents, nervously swallowed as he watched Wen Li's retreating figure.
The incense and candles in front of Wen Li spontaneously combusted, casting a warm glow on her face. In the dim light, Wen Li's dark eyes seemed to glow, and her tone appeared exceptionally firm and earnest.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
