"And she doesn't want to show up either," Ning Yitao said thoughtfully.
Ji Wangqiu, who had been waiting on the side, eager to show off, excitedly volunteered,
"I'll do it! I'll do it! Taotao, I'll help you catch him."
The stories told by Zhaocai had really angered Ji Wangqiu. Regardless of anything else, he just wanted to show off in front of Ning Yitao.
Ning Yitao glanced at him and shook her head. Then she looked at the poor cameraman.
The cameraman was just struggling for a living but had suffered such a calamity. Ning Yitao's eyes showed pity and self - blame as she said,
"If we had come a bit earlier, could we have saved them all? Just now, Mumu looked at me with such hope in her eyes, but I still couldn't do anything."
Ji Wangqiu noticed the self - blaming look on Ning Yitao's face. After so many years of accumulated understanding, he could tell what Ning Yitao meant from every move of hers.
Ji Wangqiu comforted her,
"Taotao, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault at all. The energy that has accumulated here for a long time is too chaotic. This is the territory where those ghosts have been entrenched for a long time. Even I didn't sense the situation here, let alone you, whose fate is not even stable yet.
Your current body is starting from scratch. To reach this stage already surpasses what many people can achieve. You can't practice too fast, or your body won't be able to bear the excessive energy.
If it weren't for Mrs. Alexi giving you energy last time to repair your body, according to your cultivation speed, this body would have already collapsed.
The director of the studio, for the sake of the show's effect, filmed what they thought was a so - called explosive point and delayed notifying for so long. Mumu dragged the cameraman to hell. Human nature is complex. All these things combined led to this tragedy.
Taotao, no one is born perfect in everything."
Ji Wangqiu tried to relieve Ning Yitao's self - blame with his long speech.
But Ning Yitao didn't listen to what he said. She just stared blankly at the bloody scene in front of her, knowing that even though she had come, she couldn't make up for any of the losses.
She murmured,
"Ultimately, it's all because I'm too weak, isn't it?"
She was too weak. She was so weak now. It seemed that being soft - hearted wasn't a good thing. She always overflowed with pity and had an unnecessary ability to empathize.
Ning Yitao herself didn't know why she had become like this. She was full of weaknesses, but her strength didn't match her unwarranted pity.
Ning Yitao didn't know whether to suspect that it was because of the sudden memories with Duan Qinghuai or the energy given by Mrs. Alexi that had caused the problem. She was too sentimental. This wasn't the real her.
Facing the messy scene, the only thing Ning Yitao could do was to notify the program team to clean up the mess.
When she saw Mumu just now, it wasn't that Ning Yitao didn't want to save her, but that she couldn't. Mumu was a spiritual medium, and she wouldn't be in any danger.
But the baby in her belly was different. He was just a defenseless newborn who couldn't protect himself.
If she had rashly cut off the connection between the ghost mother and the baby, the baby would definitely have died. On this land full of resentment, Ning Yitao wouldn't have been able to save him fast enough before he turned into a baby ghost.
So, she could only sacrifice Mumu and let her endure the pain.
The baby in Mumu's belly couldn't be saved.
The moment Ning Yitao opened the door, the "barrier" in the room disappeared, and the pictures in the two cameras finally became the same.
This bloody scene appeared in front of the live - broadcast audience without any editing. Many viewers in front of the screen called the police.
Zhaocai popped his head out from behind Ji Wangqiu and said timidly,
"Am I the only one who thinks Mumu deserves it? She used the cameraman as a shield. In the end, she just had a miscarriage, but the cameraman was disemboweled. His death was so tragic. Doesn't anyone feel sorry for the cameraman's family and children? Mumu was just reaping what she sowed."
Zhaocai's words, though crude, made sense and won the approval of most netizens.
Many netizens even recalled the video of Mumu seducing Ji Wangqiu in the morning. Many keyboard warriors let their imaginations run wild and started to make wild guesses.
They guessed that Mumu was looking for a cheap father for her child. They also said that Mumu had a chaotic private life and didn't even know she was pregnant.
There were even many so - called "insiders" who suddenly appeared. In order to show off, they started to make up lies randomly.
They portrayed Mumu in an extremely bad light.
The keyboard warriors thought they were speaking justly and started to attack the still - unconscious Mumu personally.
Not even Zhaocai had expected that such a simple sentence would trigger a deluge of malicious comments.
In fact, the ghost mother didn't have much offensive power. She just hated men and rarely took action. Even when she did, she wouldn't be so vicious.
What Ning Yitao didn't expect was that this ghost mother had even attacked the newly conceived life.
Normally, ghost mothers would target pregnant women who were about to give birth. Most of them gathered in hospitals so that they could act more easily and reincarnate faster.
Ning Yitao had really never seen a ghost mother in a school before.
Ghost mothers wouldn't harm underage children. In a school, she couldn't reincarnate at all, unless she had some reason to stay.
Ning Yitao thought hard. She always felt that something was right in front of her. The answer was almost within reach, but she just couldn't grasp it.
Ning Yitao kept looking around this small toilet, scanning back and forth. She was looking for what important thing she had missed.
The energy magnetic field in this space was too chaotic. Ning Yitao focused all her attention on dispersing the chaotic energy in front of her, hoping to find a clue.
But the more she dispersed it, the more she found that there was just too much energy. Once she separated one part, the rest would all scatter, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Ning Yitao felt a bit of a headache.
At this time, Grandma Grace patted Ning Yitao, who was standing at the door.
Grandma Grace was holding a porcelain bottle in one hand and an iron tool decorated with tassels in the other. Her eyes were full of compassion as she said sadly,
"Let me exorcise the cameraman. This way, his journey to the afterlife will be more peaceful."
Ning Yitao stepped aside to make room for Grandma Grace.
Grandma Grace opened the porcelain bottle.
She dipped the iron tool in the "water" inside. The sound of the iron tool hitting the porcelain bottle was extremely clear and pleasant, making people want to listen to it for a while longer.
Grandma Grace sprinkled the iron tool with the "water" towards the cameraman's direction and murmured something.
Eve, who had come up after vomiting, explained to Ning Yitao,
"This is our holy water. It's specially used to expel evil spirits so that he won't be harassed on his way to the afterlife. Pray to God. The poor soul will be received into heaven."
