Chapter 005: The Sun Qing Family

Damn it, that guy Sun Qingjia could have just died on his own, but he had to drag me down with him. Fortunately, I have a master; otherwise, I would have been doomed.

It seems that this child is here as a form of retribution. Generally, children begin to form their souls around 4 or 5 months of age, yet they chose to have an abortion in the 6th or 7th month. Isn't this a deliberate act to end this child's life? Therefore, the child's resentment runs deep. This time, they did not harm Sun Qing's family, perhaps due to good fortune. Next time, it is uncertain whether another tree will emerge to save Sun Qing's family.

Sun Qingjia, this fellow, still has a pale complexion. Most others would assume it is due to malnutrition, but I know better. This guy is haunted by a ghost; it would be strange if he had a rosy complexion.

I then began with the speculation regarding Xu Jinglei's death, discussing the reasons behind the incident and so forth. After talking for quite a while, I noticed that Sun Qingjia had not said a word and was lost in thought.

Upon seeing this situation, I immediately grabbed a security guard I was somewhat familiar with and asked what was going on

Thinking of this, I felt relieved and had a peaceful sleep. Early the next morning, I set off for Sun Qing's home. Why was I going to Sun Qing's house? There was only one reason: to protect him. It would be best if I could eliminate this ghost when it targets him, rather than letting it target me.

As soon as I heard this, I felt overwhelmed, and what the master said next truly broke my heart

When I glanced at Sun Qingjia, I was almost startled by this bizarre scene. A pitch-black child was lying on Sun Qingjia's back, looking as if it had just been born, with a sinister expression on its face. It seemed to have noticed me watching it, turning its head to look at me. We locked eyes for three seconds, and I felt the temperature around me drop significantly, sensing a chill in the air.

The security guard said anxiously, "It seems that someone has committed suicide on the third floor." After saying this, he ignored me and rushed over by himself

I was just momentarily disdainful; someone committed suicide and you rushed over so quickly, why not wait for the ambulance? Suddenly, I also wanted to see that guy who committed suicide; perhaps I even know him.

This can be said to be a fine tradition of the Chinese people who love to watch the excitement. I closely followed a few security guards and ran to the ground floor of the third building, where I saw a crowd gathered. The security guards directly cleared a path to enter, and I also secretly squeezed my way in.

"Hey, I’m telling you, buddy, do you believe it or not?" I asked the silent Sun Qingjia. Upon hearing my question, Sun Qingjia replied, "Actually, I’ve been feeling strange lately. Listening to you, it really does feel eerie. The other day when the incident happened, I heard someone behind me calling me 'Dad.' I thought to myself, if a kid is calling me Dad, I can’t just ignore it. So I responded, and then my consciousness became hazy." He continued, "Actually, I’ve been feeling strange lately. Listening to you, it really does feel eerie. The other day when the incident happened, I heard someone behind me calling me 'Dad.' I thought to myself, if a kid is calling me Dad, I can’t just ignore it. So I responded, and then my consciousness became hazy."

Subsequently, life continued in this manner, and I did not concern myself further with the affairs of Sun Qing's family. I went about my business as usual, and soon Friday arrived, marking the start of the holiday. As soon as I finished school, I hurried home, as my master must have missed me after such a long time without seeing me

I am also in a difficult position; I can't just rush up to him and say, "You've been possessed, there are ghosts trying to kill you, I am a celestial master here to save you," or something like that. It has to be something that someone would believe. Anyway, if it were me, if someone said that, I would just kick them out immediately.

"Not really, this ghost can only kill once every seven days, and it targets those who have left a deep impression on it. According to what you said, Xu Jinglei's death and the incident at Sun Qing's house are exactly seven days apart. The day after the incident at Sun Qing's house, which is tomorrow, that ghost will definitely come looking for the Sun family."

He said it was home, but in fact, it was just a house he rented. He is also from out of town and found it troublesome to commute back and forth for school, so he rented a room near the school. After asking his classmates for his address, I found his place and knocked on the door. After quite a while, the door finally opened

Sun Qing looked me up and down and said, "Come in."

However, despite saying that, I still felt quite afraid inside. That night, the master prepared many items for me: a peach wood sword, talismans, black dog blood, copper coins, and so on. Looking at the equipment in my hands, I felt somewhat reassured. If all else fails, I could use the "Summoning the Divine General Talisman" to invoke a deity; perhaps I would be fortunate enough to summon a great immortal.

Seeing that the master was somewhat serious, I did not dare to continue being mischievous and said: "Indeed, I am wearing nothing, and my body is all in black"

I looked at my master with a pitiful gaze after listening, the meaning was clear: surely you wouldn't want to see your disciple perish like this. Seeing me like this, my master tapped my head and said, "You need to find a way to solve this matter on your own; I will not help you."

After returning home, I helped my master manage the ghost shop and inadvertently mentioned the situation regarding the Sun Qing family. At first, my master listened to me without much concern, but later, when he heard that I had locked eyes with that ghostly infant for three seconds and felt a chill, his expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Is that child really completely black?"

Subsequently, Sun Qingjia was taken out by an ambulance to the school. It is said that he was quite lucky, having only broken a few bones. However, the ghostly infant I encountered would surely not allow him to live long. Indeed, I later heard that when Xu Jinglei was in a relationship with Sun Qingjia, she had an abortion, even though she was already 6 or 7 months along, and the child had already taken shape

After that ghost killed Sun Qing's family, your turn should be next. It was because he noticed you at that time. The chill you felt must be a mark that the ghost placed on you, allowing him to find you.

Fortunately, after finishing the discussion, we each returned to our respective classrooms for class, which was truly tough

Sun Qingjia is quite fortunate; he only injured a bone and there was nothing serious. He stayed in the hospital for two days and then returned home to recuperate

"I am not asking you this, is he surrounded by a dark aura?" the master asked me

I was taken aback as soon as I heard the master's words; according to what he said, that child is nothing short of a ticking time bomb, and a particularly fierce one at that

Although I knew Sun Qing's family from school in the past, our interaction was limited to just a couple of sentences, and even when we met casually, we would not greet each other.

As I thought about it, it seemed that there was a lot of negative energy surrounding that child. I nodded slightly, and upon seeing my nod, the master wore a heavy expression.

I awkwardly smiled and said, "Can I go in and speak?"

Hearing the master say this, I noticed that there were even more white hairs on his head. It seems that the master also wanted to test me a bit. Thinking of this, I nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master, this time I will definitely eliminate that ghost for you to see"

Suddenly, the security guard over there shouted: "Not yet dead from the picture book, quickly call an ambulance"

"No way, Master, isn't this just sending me to my death?" I asked anxiously. Although I usually shout and catch countless ghosts, it is always the Master who does the heavy lifting; I am merely a helper. While I possess a fair amount of knowledge, my practical experience is limited. Given the Master's demeanor this time, it seems this ghost is quite formidable, so how could I not be worried?

Is it really nothing? As soon as I looked up, I understood; this guy Sun Qingjia really has some luck. There was actually a tree above that caught him, which reduced the impact, so he was only injured and did not die immediately

The master nodded in relief only after hearing my words

Upon seeing the person lying on the ground, I was taken aback. Isn't this Sun Qingjia, the boyfriend of Xu Jinglei, who passed away a few days ago? Although I am not very familiar with them, I can still recall their names.

Sun Qing was taken aback when he saw me and asked what was the matter

How could he think of suicide? Could it be a case of love and death? I shook my head; this guy, although not unfaithful, was not that infatuated either. Suddenly, I noticed that Sun Qing's face was pale and shadowed. Relying on my professional instinct, I discreetly applied a bit of the eye drops I carried with me to my eyes.

As soon as I heard it, I almost laughed out loud; however, it is to be expected. If someone were to call me "Dad," I suppose I would have to respond in kind

Generally, ghosts will reincarnate seven days after death. Even those who died unjustly will only carry a vengeful aura, and after seeking revenge, they will return to be reborn. Yin energy, also known as ghostly energy, is typically absent in ordinary ghosts unless there is a significant grudge. The yin energy on a ghost increases by one part every seven days, and for each person they kill, the yin energy also increases by one part. Such ghosts become more powerful the longer they exist in the world. According to your words, this child, who died before being born, should harbor jealousy towards the living in this world. Therefore, after killing his parents, he would likely go on a rampage.

When I got up the next day, it was already 12 o'clock. My head was pounding, and I just happened to catch the principal's speech at the opening ceremony. Outside, the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius, and that stubborn principal spoke for more than two hours. By the time it was past 2 o'clock, he nearly caused everyone to suffer from heatstroke. I was puzzled; it was originally just a matter of a few sentences, yet these leaders managed to stretch it into several hours.

Isn't anyone near that ghost doomed? I asked my master

Upon entering, I found the room to be quite well-decorated, and it should be around 100 square meters in size

Then, after casually eating something, I started to wander around the playground. Wang Rui and Zhang Xudong are probably still asleep by now; they haven't shown up for the noon briefing or for class. While I was wandering, suddenly all the security guards picked up their walkie-talkies, looking tense as they rushed towards the senior three building

I didn't take a cigarette, but instead said: "How should I put this, buddy? You must listen to me until I finish, and please don't interrupt me. You have to believe what I say." I hope this guy isn't too stubborn.

After I entered, Sun Qing invited me to sit on the sofa and handed me a cigarette, asking, "Buddy, if I remember correctly, you are Wu Jiu from the next class, right? It seems we haven't had much interaction. What brings you to see me?"

It is not that the master is telling you; the master is getting old. Some things you must learn to face on your own; you cannot always hide behind me

At that time, I truly had no strength to attend class, so I simply lay down and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already the last class of the afternoon, and class was about to end.
