Ajan Dong reacted slightly slower than Second Uncle, or rather, the shock in his heart was heavier than all of ours. In the mind of this Ajan Master, such a bizarre possession should not occur. He had already suppressed the little ghost with Yueye; how could it still escape?
With the protection of the White Olive Amulet, the possessed Miss Ming could not harm us. So, after a low growl, she attempted to turn and flee. Ajan Dong had already stood up, holding Yueye, and directly grabbed her by the neck, pulling her down to the ground as if dealing with a thug. Miss Ming fell to the ground, struggling desperately, making strange sounds that resembled muttering or someone crying.
Her clothes were in disarray from the struggle; if a photo of this scene were taken and circulated, it would surely shock many people.
Ajan Dong pressed Yueye against Miss Ming's forehead and then pried her eyes open to take a look, frowning afterward. I broke free from Second Uncle's grip and rushed over to ask, "What’s going on? Wasn't she suppressed with Yueye? Is she possessed?"
Ajan Dong nodded and said, "It's strange; that spirit inexplicably appeared inside her body. It shouldn't happen like this."
As he spoke, he took out the Demon-Slaying Blade. I was slightly startled, thinking he was going to eliminate this Little Ghost Spirit. However, Ajan Dong turned the blade and did not stab it into Miss Ming's chest but instead made a small cut at her fingertip.
Bright red blood flowed out. Ajan Dong pinched a bit and brought it to his nose; his eyebrows raised as if he had discovered something. Just as I was about to ask, Ajan Dong said, "Mr. Shen, please check if that corpse is also bleeding."
Although I didn't know who Mr. Shen was referring to, I quickly ran over to the corpse. Looking down, I indeed noticed that its curled hand at the abdomen was also bleeding. I was stunned; the Infant Mummy had been roasted by Ajan Dong for days and nights with charcoal fire—there wasn't even a drop of moisture left in its body, let alone blood. So why was this Infant Mummy bleeding?
Ajan Dong had a vague answer in his heart but wasn't entirely sure. Therefore, he pressed one hand on Yueye and began chanting loudly. Miss Ming struggled even more fiercely, but in front of Ajan Dong, who had refined this little ghost, her struggles were futile. Soon, a wave of Yin Qi surged out from Miss Ming's body and directly entered the Infant Mummy.
Ajan Dong asked me to fetch a brush and dipped it in Gold Paint, drawing a scripture on Miss Ming's palms and forehead. This was not the five scriptures used by Grandma Long from the temple but rather a Guardian Spirit Incantation meant to prevent possession.
After finishing the drawing, Ajan Dong stood up and released Miss Ming. At that moment, this troubled female star slowly regained consciousness. Her face was pale, lips purple, and her body cold as ice. I had to help her sit on a chair; although Miss Ming didn’t know what had happened, she sensed something was wrong with her body and realized that something bad must have occurred.
Before she could ask anything, Ajan Dong spoke first: "Did you feed this little ghost blood?"
Miss Ming's spirit had not fully recovered; she looked confused. After I repeated the question several times for her to understand, she shook her head and said, "No..."
"Then did anyone else feed it? Or inadvertently let it come into contact with blood?" Ajan Dong asked again.
Miss Ming replied: "No one else was in that house; I lived there alone—my assistant wouldn’t stay too late either. And I didn’t want anyone to know about its existence, so I locked it in a separate room. Besides me, no one has the key to that room."
It seemed that Ajan Dong guessed wrong again. Just as I was worried about what to do next, I heard Ajan Dong scold unhappily: "Why didn’t you tell the truth from the beginning!"
Both Miss Ming and I were taken aback and looked up simultaneously, not quite understanding why Ajan Dong would say such a thing. Especially Miss Ming; she had hardly interacted with Ajan Dong before—what lies could she possibly have?
Ajan Dong pointed at her still bleeding fingertip and said, "Just now, I cut your hand, and that little ghost also appeared with the same wound. Such a thing can only happen if it shares the same body. You and it are not one entity; there is only one possibility: it once existed in the same body as you. So, this baby corpse is actually your own child, isn't it?"
I was stunned. This corpse belonged to Miss Ming? When I turned my head, I saw Miss Ming looking down. Although she didn't speak, her silence had already confirmed that Ajan Dong was right.
Second Uncle walked over and said irritably, "Ghosts are troublesome; if you're not careful, you'll offend taboos. Using someone else's child to create a ghost is already risky enough, let alone your own. You aborted it and then turned it into a ghost; it won't find peace even in death. The resentment is immense; no wonder strange things are happening. It seems like the five hundred thousand will really be lost!"
Although I wasn't well-versed in creating ghosts, I understood that such things should never involve one's own child unless you intended to turn it into a Kuman. With the help of a High Monk to resolve the resentment and then worship it to accumulate merit, that would be beneficial and wouldn't cause trouble. But creating a ghost is different; why are ghosts more spiritual than Kumans? It's because Ajan doesn't resolve the resentment but instead uses that resentment to enhance the spirit's power. The greater the resentment, the stronger the spirit.
The Wealth-Inviting Spirit Child Ghost that previously caused Zheng Xuezhang's family to fall apart was quite powerful. The stronger the spirit, the harder it is to control.
Moreover, Second Uncle made it clear that a baby aborted by its parents inherently carries immense resentment towards them. If raised by someone else, that resentment could be channeled for tasks, but if kept within one's own home, it's inviting disaster. A malevolent spirit that hates you to the core won't help you; it would be lucky if it didn't directly harm you!
At that moment, Miss Ming suddenly began to cry softly. She covered her face and sobbed, "I didn't know; I didn't know this would happen... I just thought everything was the same and that using it to create a ghost would serve as a keepsake..."
"Truly ignorant!" Second Uncle said.
I widened my eyes and said, "It's not Miss Ming's fault; I didn't explain things clearly to her!"
Second Uncle frowned and said, "Stop making excuses for her. Ajan Dong already asked about this; at that time, she said she got help from a friend at the hospital. This is clearly a deliberate deception—do you still want to cover for her? Besides, don't you know what you're doing?"
What he meant was to stick to your role as a Dealer; she's just a client—what do you owe her?
But I insisted that this wasn't entirely Miss Ming's fault. At least, it wasn't solely her fault. Now that things had escalated, what we should do is find a way to resolve this issue rather than assign blame. Perhaps for Second Uncle, establishing blame would allow him to demand money more confidently. But I didn't want to profit too much; Miss Ming had already suffered enough—why push her further?
At this point, Ajan Dong spoke up, explaining that the reason behind this situation was now clear. Miss Ming had used her aborted child to create a dry corpse and had even fed the ghost with her blood once to enhance its power. That's why this ghost turned out so fierce.
If those initial incidents were merely the ghost protecting Miss Ming—because it couldn't discern between right and wrong—then later occurrences involved innocent people. Since this ghost and Miss Ming were mother and child, it possessed an intense possessiveness. This desire grew stronger until not only could it not tolerate anyone being close to Miss Ming but also wouldn't allow her to leave their home.
To the ghost, taking Miss Ming away meant separating it from its mother—how could it be willing?
Miss Ming's later attempts to go out were similarly restricted for the same reason. The increasingly possessive ghost was no longer satisfied with merely monopolizing its mother; it didn't want to see her leave the house at all. Since it was dead and resided in that dry corpse, it couldn't move freely. Even though its spirit could follow its mother around, mentally it couldn't.
When Miss Ming first came to Thailand, she told me she suspected she might one day be killed by this little ghost. Now it seemed very likely. Had she not come looking for me, perhaps one day the ghost would indeed choose to kill her simply because it wanted to be with its mother.
To living people, this situation seems absurd; however, for spirits who cannot distinguish between good and evil, it's quite normal.
Obsession not only troubles the living but also affects the spirits.
Because Miss Ming's blood was added during the refining process, the Little Ghost Spirit can now freely traverse between Miss Ming and the corpse without any restrictions. Ajan Dong said there are two ways to resolve this issue.
The first is to directly eliminate the Little Ghost Spirit. As the one who refined this little ghost, Ajan has the ability to do so.
Upon realizing that all her misfortunes stemmed from her child's possessiveness, Miss Ming was momentarily stunned. When she heard Ajan Dong say he would destroy the Little Ghost Spirit, she instinctively shouted, "No!"
I thought she was afraid, so I said, "It's okay, Ajan has a hundred ways to kill it; you'll be safe afterward."
To my surprise, Miss Ming cried out, "No, I don't want it to die again! It is the most innocent one!"
In Miss Ming's heart, she always felt guilty towards her child. As a mother, she failed to protect it, leading to its tragic fate before it even entered this world. That abortion was forced upon her by a wealthy man who had someone drug her. In her heart, she truly wanted this child.
It is well known that what we lose unexpectedly before we even have it is what we miss the most. Even if we didn't genuinely want something before, we may yearn for it intensely now. This is also why many young people in love become more determined to be together when their parents disapprove.
This is another form of obsession, belonging to irrational emotions.
Seeing that Miss Ming was unwilling, Ajan Dong proposed a second method.
This one is more troublesome because the Little Ghost Spirit is now almost one with Miss Ming. If they do not eliminate it directly, they will have to continue offering to it; otherwise, no one else can sustain this little ghost.
