The chubby boy's mother was out today. The housekeeper received the three of them.
After showing them to the chubby boy's room, the housekeeper left in a hurry.
Just one glance at the chubby boy in the bed was enough to give one nightmares at night.
And that was exactly what happened.
The chubby boy's current state was really terrifying.
An ordinary person simply couldn't bear such a visual shock.
"Nannan, take a look at what's wrong with this kid. I've taken this case for a week. At first, the kid wasn't this bad. He just felt itchy all over, and the doctors in the hospital couldn't find out what was wrong with him."
"At first, I used the folk remedy of clamping chopsticks, and it worked a bit. His itching stopped. But after a couple of days, the kid started growing hair all over his body, and he seemed like he'd lost his soul."
"As soon as he sees someone, he'll pounce on them, biting or scratching. If there's no one around, he'll scratch himself until his body is covered in blood and he won't let go."
Chu Dacheng had never seen such a strange illness before.
He'd seen people haunted by ghosts and even possessed by them.
But he'd never seen someone possessed by evil spirits in such a strange way like the chubby boy.
He'd spent a lot of time on the chubby boy in this week. He'd tried all the exorcism methods he knew, but none of them worked.
The boy's parents were hard to deal with.
On one hand, they begged him to save their son. On the other hand, they cursed him when his exorcism failed.
If it weren't for the poor kid, he would've quit long ago.
Today, the whole family was out, leaving the kid at home.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Niannian to come. He didn't want to take the family's abuse for no reason.
"There's no saving him. Bury him," Shen Weixun said nonchalantly before Niannian could say anything.
Chu Dacheng: !!!
They hadn't even done anything yet! The kid was still alive!
How could there be no hope all of a sudden? How could they bury him?
"Er, little friend, we're here to save the kid. There's no need to be like this, right?"
For some reason, Chu Dacheng felt a great sense of oppression from this young boy.
So he chose his words carefully.
If it were someone else, he might have started arguing by now.
"Well... my third senior brother is right. We don't want to save this person. He won't last long anyway. It's really okay to bury him," Niannian echoed. Chu Dacheng didn't know what to say now.
After hesitating for a while, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "If it's really too difficult to solve, I'll refund the money. But Nannan, can you tell grandpa what's wrong with this kid?"
"He brought this on himself. He hurt a lot of small animals. The animals were so full of resentment that they didn't want to reincarnate. They've been following him. Now they want him to pay for his crimes with his blood."
Chu Dacheng's heart skipped a beat.
Did Niannian mean that the kid had abused animals?
It couldn't be.
The kid was only two years older than Niannian.
"Don't get involved in this. If he'd only killed one or two animals, it wouldn't be this bad. At most, his fortune would be damaged and he'd be unlucky in the future. But he..."
Shen Weixun was afraid that Chu Dacheng didn't fully understand Niannian's words, so he stepped in to explain.
"Tsk tsk tsk. You probably don't have enough cultivation to see the number of cat spirits behind him. I roughly counted. There should be no less than a hundred of them, all pressing on him. Do you understand?"
There was no need to explain further.
Chu Dacheng felt a chill run down his spine.
A hundred cat spirits meant a hundred animal lives.
How old was this kid?
How could he be so cruel!
"Forget it. I'll refund the money to this family. Let's go quickly," Chu Dacheng said. He suddenly lost the desire to save the kid.
Are you kidding me?
He'd originally planned to give up.
This family was so arrogant even when asking for help. They'd given him a hard time.
He'd thought that the adults were bad, but it had nothing to do with the kid.
The kid had suddenly been possessed by evil spirits. It was an innocent disaster. It would be a pity if such a young life died.
So he'd stayed and hadn't left.
Now that he knew that even the kid was no good, he of course had no intention of saving him.
The three of them had quickly decided the chubby boy's fate.
None of them wanted to get involved anymore. They opened the door and were about to leave.
But just as they got downstairs, they bumped into the chubby boy's mother, who was rushing back.
The chubby boy's mother saw Niannian at a glance.
Her face, which had been dejected because of her worry for her son, instantly turned angry.
In an instant, she remembered what Niannian had said when they left the Yu family a few days ago.
"What are you doing here! Are you in this together?!"
"No wonder! No wonder my son hasn't gotten better for so long. No wonder you, this lousy Taoist priest, can't make my son better! So you're in this together!"
"You little bitch! What did you do to my son?! Did you curse my son?!"
The chubby boy's mother was almost crazy. She pointed at Niannian with a look that seemed to want to eat her.
Shen Weixun's eyes darkened slightly. He sized up the chubby boy's mother and had an idea in mind.
"You'd better take back that finger right now. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll suffer more than your son."
The chubby boy's mother's gaze slowly shifted to Shen Weixun.
When she saw this young face, she was stunned for a moment.
She felt a strange sense of guilt and fear.
She really did slowly retract her hand.
Where did this brat come from?
How could he have such a strong aura?
"I didn't curse him. I was warning you that day, but you didn't listen. After you went back, you hurt five more small animals. They don't want to let your son go, so your son has become like this," Niannian said in a cute but angry voice.
She'd just wanted to do a good deed and give them a warning that day.
How could this bad auntie blame her?
"You're lying! What hurting small animals? My son has never done such a thing. It's you, this little bitch. After you said those words, my son came back like this!"
"He hasn't offended anyone recently. He just argued with you, this little bitch, a few times. How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"
Niannian's words made the chubby boy's mother even angrier.
She'd heard that Yu Shanhe's long-lost daughter was always acting all mysterious and was a jinx.
Not long ago, the Yu family's housekeeper had a conflict with this little girl and was cursed by her.
Not only did the housekeeper go to jail, but even her daughter was cursed to death.
All these were told to her son by Zhao Tang, the adopted daughter of the Yu family. It must be true.
Her son hadn't left the house since he left the Yu family.
He hadn't offended anyone else.
It must be this little girl's curse that made her son like this!
