"Tick tock, tick tock."

The sound of water drops falling to the ground.

I saw, along with the little girl's cry, water began to appear in the room.

The floor is now lightly submerged.

All this water has a fishy smell.

Mrs. Sun was a little scared and asked in a low voice: "Is this my daughter...where is she? Why can't I see her."

I had already stepped back from the bed, silently took the vajra and put it in my arms, and took out the box containing the incense ash.

"She is your daughter, but something went wrong now. She was also swallowed by the water ghost."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun almost rolled her eyes and fainted.

What people fear most is to be given hope and then become hopeless.

I whispered to Li Yuan: "Today's rain is not the right time, let's go out first."

Li Yuan nodded and helped Mrs. Sun out.

After going out, I immediately closed the door, sprinkled a layer of incense ash outside the door, and added a few yellow paper charms.

Back in the living room, Li Yuan helped Mrs. Sun sit down.

He walked up to me and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? It's so good, why did Miss Sun suddenly turn into a water ghost?"

I sighed, got back on the wheelchair, and explained: "Originally, only one of Ms. Sun's souls was designed to be trapped by water ghosts. However, we emptied the pool two days ago and it is difficult for water ghosts to escape, so it stands to reason that

You won’t encounter any problems if you gather souls directly.”

"But the rain today... came at the wrong time. Even if it was a quarter of an hour later, we might have succeeded. Alas."

When Mrs. Sun on the side heard this, she looked obviously more sad.

"Mrs. Sun, don't be too sad. I still have a way to get your daughter back. Just wait for me for one more day."

Now there is indeed a method that I have not considered before. Although it is a bit risky, it is better than accepting fate like this.

"Grandpa Li, please take me back now. Tomorrow evening, no matter the wind or rain, we will meet in front of the artificial lake."

Li Yuan looked at me with some confusion, but still agreed.

I understand his worries. Everyone can see that it is definitely not a wise move to do rituals in the evening. At this time, the yin and yang alternate and it is most likely to fail.

But this is the time I want.

I went back to the coffin shop first to get some things.

"Hey, Xiao Zhi, have you seen the wooden doll I placed behind the altar?"

I searched the coffin shop inside and out but couldn't find the human pupa I left behind.

Although this thing is considered evil, Daozhang Chen also told me that if it is used properly, it can be regarded as a treasure.

Later, he helped me remove the evil spirits from this man's chrysalis, and told me to place it around the shrine for worship, to ensure that it would be easier to use.

But now I can’t find this thing!

"Xiaozhi doesn't know, Xiaozhi didn't take it."

The little paper came out and walked around twice in front of me, pretending that nothing happened, but the frequency of its footsteps was obviously different from before.

After looking at her for a long time, I gradually got used to her, so now I don't feel any psychological pressure when I look at her: "Little paper - hand it over quickly."

The little paper stopped and remained motionless for a while.

Just when I thought she was pretending to be stupid again, her limbs suddenly twisted violently.

I was frightened by this sudden change and quickly hid behind the counter.

"Tear-"

Along with the sound of pieces of paper breaking, a tear appeared from the neck of the small paper.

Her paper head snapped back at an incredible angle, revealing an unknown transparent substance in her body, which looked like a "mouth".

Just when I was stunned, she spat out a wooden doll with mucus from the big mouth on her neck.

Then, she returned to her original state as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaozhi doesn't think this tastes good, so I'll give it back to you." She looked straight at me, and for some reason I saw a hint of temptation in her unchanging eyes.

I glanced at the human chrysalis on the ground with some disgust.

He glanced at the small paper again with some suspicion.

"Who are you...and why are you eating this when you have nothing to do?"

Xiaozhi wandered around without replying and continued her usual activities.

She didn't answer me, so I had no choice but to step forward and pick up the human pupa to see if there was anything wrong.

It's amazing that this human chrysalis has more spiritual power than the last time I held it in my hand.

Moreover, the remnant soul that was originally stagnant inside has also disappeared. This is obviously not something that can be achieved by such a short period of incense.

I quietly glanced at the small paper.

Her origin is really making people more and more curious.

Because of my leg injury, I no longer kept vigil in the store, and the money I made in the past few days allowed us to rest for a long time, so I closed the store and went home.

I was lying on my bed for the first time in a long time, holding this human chrysalis in my hand, and my mind was focused on the day's events.

It is said that water ghosts hold grudges, and once they target someone, they will never let go. I was scratched by one a few days ago, and I don’t know if it counts as being targeted.

And one thing I care about is that the artificial pool is really evil. Although only one life occurred in it, the resentment in that place is obviously not caused by one person.

What if there was more than one water ghost inside... I didn't dare to think too much and let myself drift off to sleep.

I didn't know that after I fell asleep, there was a pair of dull eyes staring at me outside the window. Although her whole body was covered with paper, the rain could not get close to her at all.

Under her feet were several smelly water ghosts. They kept struggling, but they could not avoid the fate of being swallowed by her.

I finally had a good sleep, and when I woke up the next morning, I noticed that it was sunny outside.

There seemed to be a series of watery footprints extending from the balcony.

I was suddenly excited.

Is this a water ghost?

Didn’t it mean that such things cannot be entered without permission? How could they...

I quickly got up and followed the footprints, which led to my closet.

Taking a deep breath, I picked up a charm.

"bump!"

The closet door opened, and a pair of familiar eyes looked at me.

I didn't expect such a scene at all, so I exclaimed: "Oh my God!"

Dad outside the door heard my exclamation and knocked on the door: "What's wrong, Xiaozhi?"

I coughed twice quickly: "Ahem, no...it's okay. I just accidentally choked on the water. Don't worry, Dad."

Dad didn't have any doubts and walked away directly.

"Xiao Zhi! Why did you follow me here!" I asked in a low voice.

Such a terrifying scene happened so early in the morning.

Xiaozhi's expression did not change, but he imitated me and lowered his voice: "Xiaozhi must watch Xiaozhi sleep."
