On my way back to the bedroom, I casually took the Mosquito Coil Holder from the living room. 0
 
As I grasped the doorknob of my bedroom, the coldness and the stench behind me intensified. 0
 
I knew she was coming. 0
 
Forcing myself to stay calm, I turned around and saw my mother standing behind me. 0
 
Her eyes had turned completely white, devoid of any black. 0
 
She looked like a ghost. 0
 
"Qian Qian, what are you doing with the Mosquito Coil Holder?" 0
 
I suppressed my fear and replied steadily, "Mom, the Mosquito Coil Holder is obviously for repelling mosquitoes!" 0
 
She asked, puzzled, "Repelling mosquitoes?" 0
 
I nodded. 0
 
"Yes." 0
 
"There are just too many mosquitoes lately." 0
 
"They've left bites all over me." 0
 
"Mom, do you have mosquitoes in your bedroom too?" 0
 
"Do you want me to get you some Mosquito Coil?" 0
 
After saying this, I quietly tightened my grip on the Mosquito Coil Holder. 0
 
Because I knew that if my mom was a Painted-Skin Ghost, she would never dare to touch the Mosquito Coil. 0
 
After all, salt is known to ward off evil spirits. 0
 
And Painted-Skin Ghost fears salt the most. 0
 
To my surprise, my mom suddenly burst into laughter. 0
 
Her mouth opened wide, revealing sharp teeth. 0
 
Her voice became eerily distorted. 0
 
 
“Qian Qian, you really know how to joke!” 0
 
“It’s just a mere Mosquito Coil!” 0
 
“I’m not afraid!” 0
 
After saying this, she suddenly stuck out her long tongue and licked my face! 0
 
What the hell! 0
 
That was way too creepy! 0
 
And the stench on her tongue nearly made me vomit! 0
 
In the next moment, she lunged at me! 0
 
I was startled! 0
 
I quickly threw the Mosquito Coil Ash into her eyes! 0
 
Taking advantage of the moment she was rubbing her eyes, I swiftly opened the bedroom door and locked it behind me! 0
 
However, the next second, I heard a knocking sound. 0
 
“Qian Qian, Qian Qian!” 0
 
“It’s Mom!” 0
 
“Open the door quickly!” 0
 
“Open the door now!” 0
 
Hearing that voice, my fear escalated to an unimaginable level! 0
 
Oh no! 0
 
The Painted-Skin Ghost has started attacking me! 0
 
What should I do? 0
 
What should I do?! 0
 
Just as I was in a panic, someone suddenly sent me a private message— 0
 
 
"Qian Qian, don't be afraid." 0
 
"I am Daoist Master Wu Xie." 0
 
"Now, turn on the live stream." 0
 
"I have a way to save you!" 0
 
My mother was desperately banging on my bedroom door from outside! 0
 
Bang! Bang! Bang! 0
 
The force was so great that the entire building shook! 0
 
In a panic, I hurriedly pushed my desk and chair against the door to block it! 0
 
After doing that, I quickly rubbed Mosquito Coil Ash on my face! 0
 
Although I had no idea if it would work, I had no choice but to try anything at this point! 0
 
Next, I swiftly changed into a set of black clothing. 0
 
In my fluster, I made several mistakes while getting dressed; first, I put my shirt on inside out, then I got the sleeves wrong. 0
 
But in the end, I managed to get dressed in a hurry. 0
 
Outside, my mother continued to call my name: 0
 
"Qian Qian!" 0
 
"Qian Qian!" 0
 
"I am your mother!" 0
 
"Open the door quickly!" 0
 
"Please, open the door!" 0
 
Her voice was filled with an eerie and seductive quality. 0
 
 
I felt an overwhelming sense of unease. 0
 
The door had been battered so much that it was now warped, and the gaps were widening. 0
 
I realized that the situation was becoming increasingly dire! 0
 
I had to prepare myself before my mother burst in! 0
 
The last method that Daoist Master Wu Xie taught me was to drip blood on the jade pendant. 0
 
This was something I had never imagined I would do. 0
 
After all, the jade pendant was a birthday gift from my mother. 0
 
I had always treasured it as a precious item. 0
 
But now, in this life-and-death moment, I couldn't afford to hesitate! 0
 
I hurriedly took off the jade pendant from around my neck and bit down on my index finger! 0
 
"Hiss—" 0
 
The pain made me gasp! 0
 
Without hesitation, I bit down hard and broke the skin on my finger! 0
 
Instantly, blood flowed out! 0
 
I let a drop fall onto the jade pendant, hoping that Daoist Master Wu Xie would arrive soon to rescue me from this perilous situation. 0
 
After dripping blood on the pendant, I quickly hid under the bed. 0
 
I clutched the pendant tightly, hoping to find some sense of security from it. 0
 
At that moment, all I could do was pray for Daoist Master Wu Xie's arrival. 0
 
After all, he was my only hope. 0
 
As the gap in the door widened further, I could already see a white figure outside. 0
 
My mother was about to come in. 0
 
 
Looking at that white figure, my heart was filled with fear and despair. 0
 
At this moment, all I hoped for was that Daoist Master Wu Xie would arrive soon! 0
 
Hiding under the bed, I could already see that white figure wandering around the room. 0
 
Moonlight streamed through the window. 0
 
I could clearly see her appearance. 0
 
It was my mother's body. 0
 
But I knew she was no longer the mother I once knew. 0
 
At this moment, her eyes were nothing but a blank white. 0
 
Her face was as pale as paper. 0
 
The voice coming from her mouth had transformed into something eerily ambiguous, sounding both male and female: 0
 
"Qian Qian—" 0
 
"Qian Qian—" 0
 
"Where are you?" 0
 
"Come out quickly!" 0
 
"Mom is looking for you!" 0
 
Listening to that voice, my heart was filled with terror and confusion. 0
