Eve was earnestly introducing the knowledge of her place to Ning Yitao.
However, Zhaocai interrupted unpleasantly from the side:
"What's this? It's just the same effect as an exorcism talisman. What the hell is holy water? Such a fancy name. And what's this 'heaven'? If you want him to have a good reincarnation, just grab the ghost messenger and make a note in the merit book. Simple as that."
Zhaocai asked sincerely.
Zhaocai thought these were really simple things. He couldn't understand why people had to go around such a big circle and come up with so many new terms to describe them.
But Granny Grace didn't understand a single word of what Zhaocai said.
She didn't recognize Zhaocai's true form. Instead, she paid extra attention to this child.
Granny Grace thought he was really talented. For a child of such a young age to have such abilities, he was not to be underestimated. Little did she know that Zhaocai was a fierce beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years.
One wondered if Granny Grace would be extremely shocked if she knew the truth.
Ning Yitao understood Eve's explanation. She immediately slapped Zhaocai on the head and taught him:
"Respect cultural differences from place to place. Don't judge others casually."
Scolded, Zhaocai looked listless and thought dejectedly:
"Alas, another day of getting lectured."
Granny Grace needed to sprinkle the holy water in her hand from the photographer's head to his feet to complete the ritual.
When she sprinkled the holy water on the photographer's stomach, his stomach suddenly bulged, but then the bulge disappeared instantly.
Granny Grace's eyes widened. Being old, she thought she was just seeing things.
She rubbed her eyes and tentatively sprinkled the holy water again. To her surprise, the photographer's stomach really moved again!
This time, it didn't stop after just one movement. Instead, it kept twitching, just like a fetus moving in its mother's womb.
But Mu Mu's body was blocking the door crack, so the door couldn't be fully opened, preventing Granny Grace from seeing the whole picture clearly.
This strange phenomenon was only noticed by Granny Grace. Ning Yitao and the others didn't see it or notice anything unusual.
This space was the lair of the child - birthing ghost. She had been here for a very long time and had integrated with this space. That was why she could swap the two spaces so smoothly, although it was also thanks to Liu Qiaozhi's illusion.
The child - birthing ghost deliberately protected the infant spirit in the photographer's stomach, so naturally, none of Ning Yitao's group noticed the presence of the infant spirit.
This also led to the situation where when Granny Grace was attacked, the people around her didn't notice anything wrong immediately.
Granny Grace was already too scared to move. Fortunately, she had learned from her previous experience.
When she came to this show, she brought the most defensive magical tools on her. She had worked hard to adorn herself with them all over, and these tools saved her life.
In an instant, the infant spirit burst out of the stomach. Granny Grace didn't even have time to react.
The infant spirit was already about to reach her.
Granny Grace could only stare in horror with wide - open eyes. The reaction of an old person was already a bit slow, so she could only watch it launch an attack while being unable to move a step.
Because the door crack was too small, Granny Grace, just standing at the door, blocked the view inside completely. This also made Ning Yitao and the others not notice any abnormalities at all.
At this critical moment, finally, Granny Grace instinctively splashed the remaining large amount of holy water in her hand towards the infant spirit with all her strength.
She also pulled out the self - made dog blood hidden in her sleeve and splashed it along with the holy water.
Fortunately, all these things hit the fast - moving infant spirit right on.
This finally gave Granny Grace a moment to escape.
The moment Granny Grace took the first step back, Ning Yitao keenly looked up and sensed something was wrong.
She quickly grabbed Granny Grace and protected her behind herself. She would face the infant spirit, which was gearing up to launch another attack.
Ning Yitao looked at the tiny infant spirit covered in dog blood and fresh blood. The stench was nauseating even from a distance. Her thin lips parted slightly as she coldly uttered a few words:
"Overestimating yourself."
Then, even faster than the infant spirit, Ning Yitao gently turned her hand, and a talisman quietly appeared in her palm.
Ning Yitao quickly flung the talisman out. The talisman seemed to have eyes as it chased straight after the infant spirit and hit it right on.
This time, it was the infant spirit's turn to roll on the ground, roaring and wailing.
The thing Ning Yitao threw out was something similar to the holy water, an exorcism talisman, a top - grade one.
This talisman worked much faster than the holy water. Ning Yitao casually picked up a broken glass shard from the ground and tossed it.
The glass shard nailed the infant spirit, which still wanted to launch another attack, firmly to the wall.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Yitao easily reversed the situation.
When the infant spirit was pinned to the wall, it kept struggling. It didn't have a mouth, but it still kept making the shrill cries of a baby, as if hoping someone would come and comfort it.
The cries of the infant spirit gradually grew louder. The next moment, the area where it was located distorted again. It was a spatial rift.
The red thread that was originally connected to Mu Mu broke off from her on its own. In the blink of an eye, it was re - connected to the infant spirit.
The child - birthing ghost actually gave the infant spirit power, allowing it to break free from the talisman. The red thread wanted to take the infant spirit to escape through the spatial rift.
Ning Yitao didn't have time to think about how a low - level child - birthing ghost could tear open a spatial rift, and why it would team up with the infant spirit.
She had to catch them immediately to find out the answers.
Ning Yitao directly tore off the annoying toilet door with her bare hands and threw it into the corridor. She bent down and grabbed the red thread, pulling out the infant spirit that had already slipped into the spatial rift along with the red thread.
This time, the cries and screams of the baby were mixed with a woman's voice.
Ning Yitao knew that the child - birthing ghost here was quite powerful just by seeing the existence of the infant spirit.
However, child - birthing ghosts were low - level ghosts after all. No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't be that formidable.
But for this child - birthing ghost to be able to do this, it had really put in a lot of effort.
Ji Wangqiu cooperated with Ning Yitao from behind. As soon as the child - birthing ghost and the infant spirit completely emerged from the spatial rift, he quickly lowered the Spirit - Binding Bell.
The Spirit - Binding Bell was a product of the Fengze Gate and a powerful tool for detaining these little ghosts.
However, the things from the Fengze Gate were more or less unpleasant for ghosts. The elder of the Fengze Gate regarded these little ghosts as thorns in his side.
It was rumored that before the elder cultivated his magical power, his whole family was massacred by these little ghosts, leaving him homeless and wandering at a young age.
He studied magical tools so that ordinary families could defend themselves against the harm of little ghosts.
All the magical tools made by him were things that tortured ghosts.
Just like the child - birthing ghost and the infant spirit now trapped under the Spirit - Binding Bell. The two were hugging each other tightly in helplessness. At this moment, the child - birthing ghost had revealed its true form.
It was a young girl who looked like she had just come of age. With her back to Ning Yitao and the others, even though she had become a ghost, one could still tell from her back that she must have been very beautiful in life.
Ning Yitao and the others stood in front of the child - birthing ghost and the infant spirit. They watched as dark clouds began to gather at the top of the Spirit - Binding Bell. As the clouds gathered, bolts of lightning flashed out from inside.
