Facing Aunt Yang's eager gaze, I couldn't bring myself to say what she wanted to hear.
The evil deeds done by Yang Fan were his own responsibility. We couldn't shift the blame onto the One - Eyed Buddha Mother.
Seeing me silent, Aunt Yang finally slumped to the ground, just like her husband, and began to sob.
"Xiao He, what should we do?"
Since entering the ward, Du Peilin had put away his lazy smile.
He originally thought that the so - called One - Eyed Buddha Mother was just an incarnation of a foreign evil god. He never expected that the terrifying aura emanating from Yang Fan would almost fill this entire private ward.
This room seemed to come to life, and Yang Fan lying in the middle was like its heart. If they delayed for a few more days, the whole building might turn into the body of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother.
Du Peilin felt that he had underestimated the enemy. This was no mere incarnation of the Buddha Mother! It was clearly the evil god itself!
"Release the talismans!"
I whispered these two words. Without hesitation, Du Peilin immediately took out three talismans with a faint cyan glow from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, and the young lawyer.
I directly formed a ghost - expelling hand seal and walked to the hospital bed.
"The seven stars pacify the colors, shining light on the netherworld. Thousands of gods and saints protect my true spirit..."
I quickly murmured the spell in my heart, and my fingers quickly pointed at the scar on Yang Fan's forehead.
Unexpectedly, the bloody wound suddenly split open, revealing the white nasal bone inside, like a glaring white - eyed monster staring at me menacingly.
"Good!"
I felt a surge of excitement in my heart!
This was exactly what I wanted, to make the Buddha Mother appear.
She was a kind of evil ghost. Since there were so many people in the world greedy for the five desires, she had countless followers, so she was revered as the "Buddha Mother" and enjoyed supreme status.
In essence, she had nothing to do with real Buddhas or gods.
That pale single eye suddenly opened. As my incantation took effect, it should have been able to drive her out of Yang Fan's body.
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan suddenly sat up from the hospital bed like a fish, and all my fingers sank into the crack in his forehead.
"Zzz..."
The tactile sensation of flesh and blood was very real. The hot and sticky stuff instantly swallowed my elbow!
I could already sense the danger. That guy was like an endless black hole. Starting from my fingers, my whole body was being swallowed into that cracked eye!
A red mist filled the air!
Then, I saw a scarlet moon hanging in the pitch - black sky.
"Didi da..."
The harsh sound of a suona suddenly rang in my ears. When I turned around, a magnificent mansion had appeared behind me at some point.
A wedding procession was carrying a red sedan chair in the light of the blood - red moon, approaching from afar.
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
The red - lacquered gates of the mansion creaked open to the sides with a loud cry from the wedding master. The groom in wedding attire walked out, surrounded by a large group of guests.
Si Jiangchen?!
I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
No wonder this scene seemed familiar to me. Wasn't this the mansion in my dream?!
I had dreamed that Si Jiangchen was getting married, but the bride...
I was like an invisible onlooker. No one could see me. I walked around in the crowd, watching as the sedan - chair curtain was lifted. Two bridesmaids in red and green helped the graceful bride out.
Si Jiangchen was dressed in a non - modern outfit, looking even more handsome and dashing. My eyes couldn't help but always linger on him.
However, now he couldn't see me. His heart and eyes were filled with the bride who had just stepped out of the sedan chair.
I had never seen Si Jiangchen look so gentle.
The way he looked at me was always like a hungry wolf, wanting to devour me every second!
... I admit that I was jealous.
Although I knew I was in an illusion, I could still feel Si Jiangchen's anticipation for this wedding. He loved his wife and was looking forward to growing old with her!
"Get out of the way! She's not human!!"
Suddenly, I couldn't help but shout. The annoyance in my heart suddenly burst out uncontrollably.
I had to stop all this. Si Jiangchen was mine. Even in an illusion, I wouldn't allow anyone to covet him!
No one could see me, but I rushed towards the bride who was surrounded like a star in the center like a crazy person. My hands couldn't touch anything, but a cold wind blew by, lifting the bride's veil, revealing her pointed chin, fair skin, rosy lips, and a perky nose... and then, a white - eyed monster!!
The One - Eyed Buddha Mother!!
This was her illusion. She just wanted to make me go crazy and expose myself under the control of her illusion...
In an instant, all those happy men and women turned into pale evil ghosts and pounced in my direction.
I was no longer invisible. A sharp ghost's claw grabbed my arm, and in an instant, countless ghosts crawled all over my body.
The bride in red gently lifted her veil at this moment. A extremely beautiful face appeared in front of me, pale but stunningly beautiful.
Si Jiangchen behind her slowly walked over, reached out his hand to gently hold the bride's slender waist, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear with a smile, "Xiao He, why are you so disobedient? You lifted the veil before entering the bridal chamber. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your in - laws?"
"I'm not afraid!"
The bride with my face showed a bright smile at Si Jiangchen. "As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anyone!"
Saying that, she pointed at me. "What kind of ghost is that? How dare it come and cause trouble on our wedding day?"
"Well... there will always be people who are dissatisfied with your in - laws."
Si Jiangchen looked at his newly - wedded wife tenderly. "I've already sent people to protect them. You don't have to worry, Xiao He."
"My in - laws?!"
I was stunned. This illusion was really strange. It could even conjure up my parents, whom I had never thought about!
In just a moment, the scene in front of me changed like a slideshow, and I came to a village surrounded by mountains... However, this time, the scene was no longer a joyous one, but a place filled with flames and corpses.
The village had been massacred!
Many figures were struggling and screaming in the flames. Occasionally, a survivor who managed to escape the fire would be shot dead by the murderers guarding the village entrance and then dragged back into the fire...
The screams, gunshots, and the crackling of the flames filled my ears.
"Si Jiangchen!!!"
Suddenly, on the top of the tallest building in the mountain village, an old man still wearing wedding attire covered the bleeding wound on his chest and shouted hoarsely, "I will hold you accountable for the 97 lives of my Du family. I curse you to never have a good end. May you be forever trapped in the evil ghost realm, unable to live or die!!"
