Chapter 97

Michael’s crying was unexpected. His aura suddenly doubled, and he was in sadness.

His aura broke through the illusion spell that Pablo had cast on Rebecca. Rebecca suddenly woke up, and when she looked from the large mirror on the wall, she saw a boy in a school uniform lying on her head!

He spat blood out of his mouth and cried so sadly that blood tears flowed from his eyes.

“Oh my god!” Rebecca screamed and fell off the chair instantly. The cups on the table dropped and shattered into shards of glass.

She accidentally pressed her hand on the broken glass, and blood flowed from her palm. Things got out of control all of a sudden!

Rebecca’s blood stained Michael red. Michael cried and laughed while clinging tightly to Rebecca’s body, then began to bite her head.

Rebecca looked in the mirror in horror. That boy in the school uniform strangely cried and laughed while biting her face!

“Oh my god! Ah!” Rebecca desperately scratched her face. She wanted to tear off the malignant spirit on her head but failed. As she could not touch Michael, she only hurt her face and tore off her hair.

Pablo quickly lifted Lilly and threw her over Rebecca. “Go, Tulip!”

“Eh?” Lilly was confused. Wait! What should I do? Master is unreliable!

Lilly instantly flew out, but from Anthony’s vision, she jumped up high and landed on Rebecca’s head.

Pablo taught Lilly the following steps. “Find a way to separate him from Rebecca!”

Lilly muttered, “Separate… separate!”

She hugged Michael’s arm and pulled him back hard.

“Hah!” Lilly tore one of Michael’s hands off.

Rebecca nearly fainted in shock.

Lilly shouted, “Aunty Rebecca, take it easy!”

Upon saying that, she grabbed Michael’s hair and pulled him back desperately. Pa! This time she tore Michael’s head off.

Michael’s body was still like glue lying tightly on Rebecca’s body.

Rebecca rolled her eyes and passed out.

“Ugh!” Lilly did not mean to tear Michael apart. She gritted her teeth and suddenly remembered the exorcise taught by Pablo.

She muttered quickly, grabbed Michael’s back again, and finally separated him from Rebecca!

There was a hint of approval in Pablo’s eyes, and he quietly withdrew the sedative spell.

Michael was still crying maniacally. Lilly comforted him while putting his head and hand back on.

“Michael, calm down,” Lilly said, “Take a deep breath! Calm down! Don’t cry! I’ll give you candy!”

Pablo looked at Lilly, who was coaxing a ghost, and his mouth twitched.

Can this work? How do ghosts breathe and eat candy? Lilly still needs my help. She’s already good!

Pablo was about to act, but he saw Michael stop crying. Lilly patted Michael’s back as if with some kind of magical power. Soon, Michael calmed down.

Lilly fumbled from her backpack and took out two candies she secretly hid. Peeling off the candy wrapper, she gave Michael one and took the opportunity to stuff another in her mouth.

A ghost and a little girl sat on the ground and quietly ate candies.

Pablo widened his eyes in shock. Does this also work?

Lilly continued to ask, “Michael, go on. What happened next?”

Michael said lightly, “After I died, my parents moved away. They didn’t know about the assailants’

identities because there were no witnesses and surveillance, and I never said anything about it. My parents investigated it for half a year, and they gave up.”

However, his incident became well known. After his parents moved out, the unit they used to live in turned into a haunted house.

An inferior practitioner came to exorcise, but instead of driving Michael away, he trapped Michael in that room, and Michael could not get out no matter what.

Pablo nodded. “That’s right. One of the conditions for the malignant spirit’s formation is to be trapped in the place of death and repeat the death process.”

As Michael could not leave that room, he constantly experienced despair before dying. He repeatedly looked at the crack in the door and watched his parents quarrel. He called desperately, but no one heard his faint cry for help.

His hopes turned into despair, and he suffered death in pain. Regret and hatred kept torturing him.

Finally, he became a malignant spirit.

Lilly looked at Michael sympathetically and felt sorry for him.

“Michael, go into the jar by yourself. I won’t hurt you,” Lilly said softly.

Pablo was about to tell Lilly that no matter how pitifully Michael died, he was an inherently evil malignant spirit. But Pablo was speechless when he saw Michael nod and say, “Okay.”

Lilly raised her jar of souls again and shouted, “Michael, do you dare to answer me when I call you?”

Michael suddenly smiled, nodded vigorously, and said, “Yeah.” He looked at Lilly deeply. It was the first time someone gave him candy during his life or death.

A black shadow floated up and silently entered the jar of souls.

Pablo was silent for a while. In detail, Michael was also a kind and quiet child. Pablo shook his head slightly, wrote a few words on the booklet, and closed it.

Lilly was shaking the jar of souls and said happily, “Master, I think the jar is full!”

Pablo’s mouth twitched. “It’s still early!”

Lilly felt disappointed. “Huh? When will it be full?”

Pablo reached out, and a pen appeared out of thin air. He drew ten scales on the jar of souls, which was only the size of a fingernail.

Lilly’s eyes widened while Pablo said, “Here, shake it. Do you see the color of the jar? It’s the first scale now, and when it reaches ten scales, the jar of souls will be full.”

Lilly nodded happily. It doesn’t seem too difficult!

The noise here attracted the waiter.

Lilly looked at the broken cups and suddenly became nervous. “Uncle Anthony…”

Anthony witnessed Lilly catching a ghost. Although he could not see it, he was frightened enough.

He recovered from his horror and coaxed Lilly. “It’s okay, don’t be afraid.” He would settle everything!

A few waiters finally knocked on the door, then saw a mess and Rebecca lying on the ground.

“Sir, this…” They took aback.

Anthony’s expression remained unchanged, and he explained lightly, “My kid is playing now. Any opinion?”

One of the waiters answered, “No, but…”

Anthony took out a card. “I’ll compensate you a hundred times.”

He only needed to compensate for a few broken coffee cups. He had enough money to pay for them.

“Uh…”

Anthony asked, “Any questions?”

The waiter answered, “No problem! Then, this lady…”

Anthony interrupted, “Are you too free to interfere with us?”

Another waiter quickly grabbed the waiter who was speaking and apologized to Anthony, “Sorry to bother you.”

Soon, they left. Money had solved the problem perfectly.

Lilly looked at Anthony in admiration and gave him praise. “Thank you, Uncle Anthony! You’re amazing!”

It’s great to be rich! I also want to solve problems with money!

…

Rebecca did not know how she got home.

Her mind was buzzing, and Lilly only told her about a weakling spirit named Michael Owen that haunted her.

Now Lilly had captured that weakling spirit, but Rebecca still could not stop shaking.

Rebecca turned on the phone, searched for Michael Owen, and finally found the news from ten years ago.

A group of people bullied Michael on the way home from school. Due to his silent personality, his parents did not know about that incident until after his death. They had no idea someone had hit their son to the point of internal bleeding.

Rebecca could not help shivering and subconsciously grabbed the jade necklace hanging around her neck.

“Aunty Rebecca, I’ve already captured the ghost. I’ve put my courage into your necklace! From now on, may you shine bright and go forward!”

Lilly’s words echoed in her ears. Maybe it was an illusion, but Rebecca gradually felt warmer while clutching the jade necklace.

Just then, the door opened. Harry and Elliot came back and were followed by Lydia and Nicole.

As soon as Nicole entered, she ran to open the refrigerator to get a drink without washing her hands.

She left black handprints all over the place.

Elliot saw Rebecca sitting in the living room before entering the room gloomily, then slamming the door hard.

Harry frowned and said unhappily, “What’s the matter with you? Why did you run back when we looked for a house? You had no manners for Mom!”

His relatives were present, but Rebecca lost her temper on the spot.
