Returning to the topic, the reason A-Zhan Ping used a skull instead of a complete Yueye is not because he lacks strength. The bodies of Sorcerers are often disassembled into many parts to create different spirit tokens or minor spirits. After all, since bodies are so rare, maximizing benefits requires some sacrifices.
The debate over whether to enhance one's own abilities first or to seize immediate benefits never reaches a conclusion.
As A-Zhan Ping recited, I felt the room growing colder. Even though the windows and doors were shut tight, it gave me the illusion of being in an ice cellar. I understood that this was due to the residual presence of the Spirit Child within me; someone like Second Uncle, a normal person, would feel nothing unusual.
Faintly, I heard what sounded like crying—chaotic and resembling many people choking back sobs in the wind. Yet the room was calm, and Second Uncle stood beside me, casually picking at his nails. My body was covered in goosebumps because the situation was too bizarre.
At that moment, the bedroom door swung open, and Boss's son ran in crying, about to kick at the black-and-white wooden carvings on the floor. A-Zhan Ping's disciple reacted quickly, grabbing the child's clothes and lifting him up like a chick.
The child cried out loudly, and we could clearly hear him shouting, "Auntie, please stop hitting me... Help! Help..."
He kicked and struggled in A-Zhan Ping's disciple's grip; there was no one hitting him. I paused for a moment and suddenly recalled what A-Zhan Ping had said about the second type of evil spirit.
Boss and his wife rushed out of the bedroom in a panic. Seeing their son being held aloft while screaming, the woman was about to rush over when she was stopped by Second Uncle. At that moment, A-Zhan Ping had stopped chanting and stood up to look at the child.
Having experienced similar situations too many times, Second Uncle could immediately tell what Ajan intended to do. But the woman didn’t understand; she clawed at Second Uncle, angrily shouting, "Get away! You frauds! Give me back my son!"
Second Uncle pushed her aside and glared at Boss: "Control your wife; if she causes any more trouble, I won't hold back!"
Boss held his wife tightly, trying to soothe her with words. However, before he could say much, he was startled by the child's piercing screams. I turned my head just in time to see A-Zhan Ping pressing one hand on the boy's forehead while shaking the skull in his other hand.
The boy's cries were earth-shattering, and his mother seemed to be going mad trying to break free. Faced with this situation, Boss was also taken aback and hurriedly asked what was happening. Second Uncle glanced at the boy and frowned: "Your son seems to be possessed; Ajan is helping to expel it."
"What possession! You're killing him! Give me back my son! I'm calling the police!" The woman screamed hysterically while hitting her husband. In a moment of distraction, Boss got hit on the nose by her fist, causing blood to flow immediately.
He wiped his nose with his hand and then slapped his wife's face hard, yelling: "Can you just be honest for once? Don't force me to hit you!"
I thought to myself that he had already hit her.
His wife jumped around frantically, crying out loudly: "Go ahead and hit me! Kill me! Oh God, what sin have we committed?"
Seeing someone like this who doesn't understand the situation is something Second Uncle has encountered too many times. He knows that if it's not handled properly, it could have serious consequences for the ritual. So, he directly told Boss Lu, "Drag your wife into the bedroom and lock her up; don’t let her disturb Ajan!"
Boss Lu seemed to be furious as well. Ignoring his wife's struggles, he picked her up and threw her into the room. Hearing the sound of something heavy hitting the ground and seeing Boss Lu's fierce expression as he slammed the door shut made me shiver involuntarily.
At that moment, the boy's screams abruptly stopped, and he collapsed to the ground. Boss Lu was taken aback and hurried over. Ajan withdrew his hand, slightly furrowing his brow as he scanned the surroundings. Upon hearing Boss Lu's inquiry, he said, "That evil spirit has been temporarily driven away, but I don't know where it has hidden. We can only capture it by finding the medium it possesses."
Boss Lu was stunned for a moment and then lowered his head in silence. Second Uncle, feeling impatient, urged A-Zhan Ping to continue with the ritual to deal with Wan Gui Zhi Gui. A-Zhan Ping didn't mind; he nodded and sat down in front of the black-and-white wooden carvings again. Without the child's disruptions, this time the ritual progressed much faster.
Boss Lu's wife was banging on the door in the bedroom, her cries growing increasingly desperate. I instinctively thought of Zheng Xuezhang and his mother banging their heads against the door and couldn't help but say to Boss Lu, "Why don't you go to the bedroom? It might prevent her from getting too worked up and causing any trouble."
Boss Lu hesitated for a moment but then steeled himself and said, "Forget it; after all these years, she still doesn’t understand anything. Let her make a fuss!"
As he spoke, Boss Lu suddenly shuddered, his face turning pale rapidly. I felt a heavy Yin Qi emanating from him just as the banging on the bedroom door grew louder. The woman's voice came through the door: "Let me out! Lu Shiyou, you bastard! You won't die a good death! I curse you to die without a complete corpse! Even in death, I won't let you go!"
Hearing such harsh words from his wife made Boss Lu's face turn even uglier. However, before he could respond, A-Zhan Ping suddenly shouted.
The two wooden carvings on the ground jumped violently. I felt a jolt run through my body as a surge of violent intent towards others rose within me. My arms instinctively reached for Boss Lu's neck, but thankfully Second Uncle pulled me back just in time. At that moment, a wave of warmth surged from my White Olive Amulet in my chest, bringing me back to my senses. Boss Lu stared at me blankly, still not understanding what had happened.
A-Zhan Ping grabbed the wooden carvings from the ground and stuffed them into the White Bone Pagoda behind Wan Gui Zhi Gui. At the same time, he sealed off the bottom entrance with a skull in his hand. The bone pagoda immediately began to shake uncontrollably; even A-Zhan Ping's hands couldn't hold it down. His disciple, who had been waiting nearby, quickly brought over some sutras and began wrapping them around.
A-Zhan Ping pressed one hand on the White Bone Pagoda while placing his other hand on Wan Gui Zhi Gui, continuously reciting an Invocation Spell.
I couldn't tell if he was genuinely tired or just pretending; either way, sweat was pouring down his forehead and fatigue was evident on his face. After about ten minutes, the White Bone Pagoda finally stopped shaking. A-Zhan Ping withdrew his hands while his disciple immediately bound the skull to the base of the pagoda with sutras.
Second Uncle seemed to understand that everything was done and walked over to help A-Zhan Ping up. Then he waved at Boss Lu not far away. Boss Lu had been watching with his son for quite some time; upon seeing Second Uncle's gesture, he hurried over to ask what had happened.
Second Uncle said, "Wan Gui Zhi Gui has been sealed inside the White Bone Pagoda. Achan will take it back to recite sutras for blessings. Before its resentment towards you completely dissipates, do not touch any women or cross bridges; also avoid eating cat or dog meat or snake meat. It should be fine in about a week."
Upon hearing this, Boss Lu was instantly overjoyed and expressed endless gratitude; he even forgot to ask whether he could get Wan Gui Zhi Gui back after its resentment faded away. Second Uncle did not seem inclined to remind him of that; he only clearly stated that retrieving Wan Gui Zhi Gui would cost four hundred thousand Thai Baht in total. As for dealing with that remaining evil spirit, he would have to figure it out himself.
Boss Lu initially felt relieved but became tense again upon hearing Second Uncle's words. He didn't understand witchcraft; how could he deal with an evil spirit? After hesitating for a long time and glancing back at the increasingly silent bedroom, Boss Lu gritted his teeth and quietly said, "I really don't know much about that evil spirit's situation; however, there are some things that might give you hints."
Second Uncle replied, "Then show us what you've got."
Lu Boss nodded and then carried his son into the bedroom. The moment he opened the door, we were all stunned. The room was covered in blood, and Lu Boss's wife was collapsed on the floor, a small knife clutched in her hand. Looking at her wrist, there was a very deep cut.
Lu Boss was terrified, almost losing his mind, and immediately ran over, shouting his wife's name. Second Uncle, although not fond of meddling in clients' personal affairs, felt he couldn't ignore a suicide attempt and picked up his phone to call an ambulance.
However, the ambulance arrived too late; Lu Boss's wife had already severed her artery. Due to excessive blood loss, she died shortly after in the hospital despite rescue efforts.
This incident shocked everyone, and many couldn't understand why this woman would take her own life. Was it just because of Ajan's actions and an argument with her husband? Some people's mental states are fragile and can lead to suicidal thoughts. However, very few people actually die from cutting their wrists. The human body instinctively protects itself when faced with a threat of death. Therefore, most people either lack the courage to sever an artery or faint before they can do so.
The truth lay within Lu Boss's bedroom.
During the wait for the ambulance, A-Zhan Ping also entered the room. He glanced at the woman on the floor, whose breath was fading, and said, "I see traces of evil spirits; she has been possessed. The evil spirit is here and hasn't left."
As he spoke, A-Zhan Ping walked around the room, his lips trembling as if he were talking to himself or chanting a spell. After a while, he stopped in front of a safe in the corner of the bedroom and looked down for a long time. Seeing this, Second Uncle asked Lu Boss what was inside.
Lu Boss held his wife tightly, looking dazed. After several inquiries from Second Uncle, he finally reacted. Turning to look over, he murmured, "The money... she took the money..."
Second Uncle found the key on him and opened the safe. When he saw the stack of bills inside, I felt the presence of Yin Qi. A-Zhan Ping quickly took off a bracelet from his wrist and hung it in the center of the safe while loudly chanting.
The once quiet safe suddenly stirred with wind; bills fluttered about, making a rustling sound. I vaguely heard a woman's sorrowful voice: "I don't want to leave him; he is mine! No!"
After a while, this voice faded away. A-Zhan Ping took back the bracelet and examined it. He did not put it back on but held it tightly in his palm as he walked back and told Second Uncle that the last evil spirit had been collected.
