Another subordinate: “Who knows, if it’s not realistic deugh, how can we believe it?”

The bald man on the ground was about to vomit blood Did they genuinely risk his life here? He was going crazy. The bald man genuinely believed that he was aldor to die because he saw a man in a white robe floating beside Lilly!

You see, he couldn’t see ghosts. Before manipulating dem, he had to burn a talisman to open his heavenly eye. But now, not only could he see them directly, but also felt a suppressing aura from the

underworld. This white-robed man was not an ordinal ghost.

The bald man felt as if his soul was pulled out, and he was even more terrified, his face turning pale. He was the one who attached Bryson’s soul pupper, but he had no idea how it happened.-

He was attached to a soul puppet. And it was his master who did it! Could this be the end for him today?

“Help…” The bald man’s throat was croaking, unable totter a single word.

Pablo smirked, “Evil breeds evil. Have you ever contei plated that attaching someone else’s soul puppet could make you the target?” With a raised hand, he forefully expelled the soul puppet from the back of the bald man’s neck, causing it to struggle in mid-air.

Chris’s soul was sealed, and the soul puppet lost control now becoming restless. If it managed to escape, it would eventually gain its vague consciousness and seek out someone to attach to.

Pablo’s eyes showed no emotional fluctuations. He lifte his fingertip slightly, and a cluster of dark green flames ignited instantly, burning the soul puppet to aslis,

Lilly widened her eyes, “Wow! Master Daddy is so cool! She wondered, ”

So, this is what Hannah meant by showing off?

She wanted to show off too!

As the soul puppet turned to ashes, the bald man gradilly regained consciousness and looked at her in astonishment. That day in the haunted house, he felt is little girl was extraordinary! So, it turns out it was because she had such a great master! He wondered those few evil spirits around her were also given to her by her master. The bald man no longer dared to play tricks. He realized that even his own master was wary of Lilly. He hadn’t told his master about the existence of the evil spirits around her.

Indeed, his master had taken action against him. With a dejected face, the bald man didn’t wait for Blake

and the others to ask, and he explained everything in detail. “My name is Gabriel Mateo. I am Chris’s disciple. My ancestors were skilled in making colored paper crafts, and the technique of making paper figures was our unique skill, passed down only to males I had a talent for it, and since I was young. I could make paper figures that looked lifelike. But my father told me not to put the finishing touch on the paper figures. Otherwise, there would be big trouble.”

Unable to hold back, Lilly asked softly, “Why is it passed down only to males?” She pondered, “What’s the matter with girls? Why aren’t they taught so many skills Making paper figures, for instance, can’t you just put them together randomly? Is it that challenging? Why does the skill need to be explicitly passed on?”

Pablo explained, “Craftsmen who make colored paper crafts belong to one of the Four Gates; namely the executioner, paper craftsman, leatherworker, and mortician. People in ancient times were always worried. that the deceased would not find their way to the underworld and linger in the mortal realm. So, they used paper figures to guide them and lead them to the underworld.”

“Burning paper figures, paper sedan chairs, allowing the paper figures to carry deceased loved ones to the underworld. It is also a way to express attachment and trust in the departed. Since paper figures are so important, there is also an emphasis on whether they are well-made, agile, and whether they lead the way. correctly.”

Blake recalled the past. Upon his father’s passing, it was customary for the son to craft paper horses to guide the way. At that time, his grandfather didn’t have the opportunity for a proper burial, but he secretly made paper horses. Using bent bamboo branches for the horse’s limbs, weaving a horse head

with bamboo strips, and finally pasting it with red paper. The steps sounded simple, but what he made didn’t look like a horse. It was even more difficult to paste the red paper, as the sharp parts of the bamboo. branches easily tore the paper, and it was hard to shape it when pasting it. It fell apart before even setting off. So, indeed, this skill requires some inheritance.

“And then?” Lily continued to ask.

Gabriel said, “When you put the finishing touch on a paper figure, it becomes fixated on you. Because when it is drawn, the first person it sees is the one who drew it. So, traditionally, paper figures should not have the finishing touch, but being young and curious, I did it.”

The bald man could never crase from his memory that fateful night when he covertly secluded himself in his room, meticulously completing the final details on the paper figure. As the eyes of the paper figure began to take shape, an eerie feeling engulfed Gabriel, as though an invisible presence was watching him intently. The following day, he fell victim to an unrelenting and persistent fever. Reluctantly, he accompanied his father to the mountains, where an eerie encounter awaited them-a female ghost. standing motionless amidst the silent woods.

He spoke, “Accompanied by my father, we sought the help of a witch. Through numerous rituals, we eventually succeeded in banishing that menacing paper figure. From that point onward, I started my journey on this path. Paper figures serve as offerings for the departed, and once they descend into the underworld, they transform into enslaved spirits burdened with deep resentment. Only when I learned to harness the power of deceased souls and reverse the pincess that could offer them solace through the paper figures.”

From that point onward, his journey on this path advanced swiftly! He diligently crafted numerous paper figures, and eventually, for the sake of efficiency, he even mastered the art of transforming these figures. into tangible creations-delicate paper sculptures.

Exploring distant lands, pursuing various ventures, and amassing considerable wealth, his journey led him to cross paths with his master-Chris-at a dilapidated and weather-beaten temple.

“He possesses a vengeful and narrow-minded nature. Whenever he encounters someone with exceptional

talent, he feels compelled to exploit them. Those who dare to resist him meet their demise at his hands.” Succumbing to the coercion exerted by Chris, he reluctantly nodded and acknowledged him as his master, but the truth was he became more of a subservient figure.

“As part of our apprenticeship agreement, he presented me with a female ghost adorned in a bridal gown, and in exchange, I had to impart the skill of soul puppetry to him. Subsequently, he began conducting experiments on soul puppet exchange, while I tirelessly searched for suitable candidates on his behalf.”

Gabriel explained the process of soul attachment did not depend on compatibility or aligning birth dates; it solely required the ability to inhabit another person’s body and sustain oneself within it.

It resembled the concept of time travel and reincarnation but with a twist. Once the soul puppet was attached and journeyed into the past, they couldn’t sustain their existence for long. As for the consequence, they inadvertently caused the demise of several disciples during their experiments. In return, they ventured into various haunted houses across the country, changing their base of operations. after each attempt. After all, some unfortunate souls met their demise due to fear in such places. By keeping a low profile, they could steer clear of catching the attention of authorities.

“This is truly stealing lives right under the eyes of the Ruler of Hell…”Gabriel said. “I’ve always been careful. until I met you all.”

Blake nodded, comprehending the intricacies of cause and effect in the situation. It could be aptly described that the world is vast and brimming with marvels.

And there is another matter to consider: what about Madam Fowler from the Fowler family? While Chris and Gabriel faced the consequences of their actions and were apprehended, Madam Fowler remained at large, skillfully portraying herself as a victim.

In a frank manner, Gabriel responded, “Yes, Madam Fowler’s husband passed away, didn’t he? He inherited. a substantial fortune, but his health was frail due to a terminal illness. With limited time remaining, Madam Fowler discovered the concept of soul borrowing from an elderly woman in the community and conceived a plan. Through her extensive wealth, she managed to uncover information about soul exchange and paid a substantial amount to seek the assistance of a master in switching to a healthy body. Driven by her immense wealth and a strong aversion to mortality, she desired to transform into a different individual and carry on living.”

Lilly acknowledged with a nod, comprehending the circumstances. With such immense wealth at her disposal, it was understandable that Madam Fowler would be unwilling to face death.

However, the unwillingness to die did not alter the inevitable reality that it was time one must depart from this world. As her master had emphasized, disrupting e natural order of life and death would sow chaos and invite catastrophe. Lilly felt compelled to locate Madam Fowler and inquire whether she required any assistance in managing her finances. More importantly she needed to ascertain if Madam Fowler had engaged in any wrongful actions.
