Chapter 1206: I Want to Make You Stay (84)
Nonetheless, they still proceeded to paste the amulet on her forehead. However, there were no effects at all because the woman did not recognize the elderly Mr. Gong and his family at all after she came to again. After they told her about everything that had happened, she tore the amulet into shreds and killed herself.
That was not the end of it, however.
When Mr. Gong and his mother returned to the temple to look for the reverend in a bid to ask about the spirit, they discovered that the reverend had already shut himself out from the outside world to further his skills in seclusion.
It did not cross their minds that that was only the beginning of it all.
Later on, Mr. Gong and his mother received a letter that was allegedly written by the mistress. She claimed that she had already possessed Mr. Gong’s sister and wanted them to guess what she would be up to next.
Mr. Gong and his mother were terribly frightened.
She immediately called the pair of twins out, only to discover that they did not seem to be behaving unusually.
However, things began to get strange, and mishaps kept occurring one after another. It started with Mr. Gong’s father plunging to his death by accident, followed by the servants dying one after another, day after day.
The two of them had no choice but to lock the pair of twins up and put them under close surveillance. However, their efforts were futile.
The situation worsened with each passing day, and when the reverend came out of seclusion, they told him about everything that had happened. The reverend said only one thing to them.
“What did he say?” An Xiaoning asked curiously.
“The reverend said that the evil spirit was highly skilled and used her witchcraft to stop herself from breathing. Due to the lack of skills, he could not differentiate between the spirit and my sister. Hence, he suggested that we lock the two of them up and look for a powerful medium to seal their lives, allowing them to stay hibernated for the rest of their lives. As long as they’re not awakened, they’ll never come to again forever. Thus, you can’t move these coffins.”
“Mr. Gong, do you know that this burial ground provides the optimal conditions for corpses to mutate?”
“Of course. I chose this burial ground after seeking advice from a highly-esteemed and powerful medium back then. We were initially planning to return and bring the two coffins back. However, we left the nation and migrated to another nation later on. When we returned, we could no longer find the markings that we had made on the burial ground. In order to prevent any accidents, we had decided not to search for the coffins and instead just kept close tabs on the area.”
“Lifelong hibernation is not a sustainable solution for the problem. You can’t make your descendants keep tabs on the two coffins forever. How about you awaken them now?” said An Xiaoning.
Wang Jinsheng interjected in astonishment, “Ms. An, you’re out of your mind. Instead of awakening them, you might as well just incinerate them.”
“Captain Wang, your suggestion is highly inappropriate. If incinerating the corpses worked, why did Mr. Gong have to seek help from a powerful medium to seal their souls? The point is, we don’t know which one of them had been possessed by the spirit. They know that killing the pair of twins is not going to eradicate the spirits. Mr. Gong, since you guys had already sought help from a medium, why didn’t you find a master to get rid of that spirit too?”
The elderly Mr. Gong said with a sigh, “We’ve already tried that, but it didn’t work at all. If there was really a feasible solution, we would have gotten rid of the spirit back then.”
An Xiaoning understood what had happened. She said, “Mr. Gong, do you plan to put the lids of the coffins back on, or would you like me to take over from here? After all, this concerns your family. We’ll respect your decision.”
“I know that you’re a capable person, Ms. An, especially when it comes to handling supernatural beings. I also agree with what you just said. We can’t continue letting them hibernate forever. That’s not the best solution. We’ll be most grateful to you if you’re willing to help us settle this problem, Ms. An.”
“Okay, I’ll do my best. Even if I can’t solve the problem, I’ll guarantee that they’ll continue staying in hibernation,” said An Xiaoning, who then got out of the car while Team Leader Zhang and Wang Jinsheng followed closely behind her.
“Team Leader An... you really want to... are you confident about solving the problem?” Team Leader Zhang asked.
“Enough. Even if I’m not confident, is there any other solution? Let’s open the fifth coffin first before proceeding to settle these two.”
“Alright.”
The fifth coffin were just like the first two. Thus, they incinerated it right away as well.
An Xiaoning returned to the two coffins. Noticing that the sky had turned completely dark, she took a look at the weather forecast on her mobile phone and said to Wang Jinsheng, “Set up a tent here and bring me two chicken heads, two bunches of beans, a piece of red cloth, a bronze mirror, and a bowl of blood from a black dog. I need those items.”
“Alright, I’ll give out some instructions now.”
An Xiaoning returned to her own car and reached for her bag and a mini table from the backseat before alighting from the car again.
The sky had already begun drizzling by the time the archeological team members set up the tent and brought her the items that she had asked for.
Team Leader Zhang and Wang Jinsheng entered the tent together with her. As soon as they took a seat, Mr. Gong entered too.
“Mr. Gong, you may wait inside the car.”
“No, I’d like to take a look. I’m very curious. I’m already so old, I’m not afraid of dying at all.”
“...”
An Xiaoning placed the piece of red cloth on the small table and proceeded to take out a white bowl from her bag, which she then placed in the middle of the cloth. She then placed the chicken heads inside the bowl and poured the dog blood over them before soaking the beans inside the bowl.
Finally, she took out a joss urn and placed it behind the bowl, after which she lit up two joss sticks and placed them inside the urn.
An Xiaoning knelt onto the ground and placed her hands together with her eyes tightly shut. She began murmuring incessantly.
Ten minutes later, An Xiaoning opened her eyes and picked up the white bowl. She dipped a brush inside the bowl and drew a few strokes across a few pieces of amulet paper, which she then allowed to dry.
She then poured some more blood into the bowl until it was filled to the brim.
She placed the bowl in front of the joss stick and the bronze mirror in the perfect position.
She gave Wang Jinsheng and Team Leader Zhang some instructions before leaving.
It was still drizzling outside. However, it was so light that she did not need an umbrella.
“Remove the chains on the legs. Keep the ones on their arms intact.”
Although the team members were brave, they knew that the two corpses were extraordinary and they dared not touch it.
“What are you all waiting for? Do you guys not want your jobs anymore? Hurry and go,” Wang Jinsheng urged.
They immediately did as instructed.
They cut the chains off and lifted the two coffins onto the ground.
An Xiaoning stood by the coffins and placed an amulet on all four sides of each of them. Wang Jinsheng carried a lamp, which provided the light source for them to look inside the coffin carefully.
Mr. Gong sighed and said, “They still look exactly the same as before... they looked like this when I buried them.”
“Bring me two bottles of mineral water. Mr. Gong, please excuse yourself for a while.”
Wang Jinsheng waved at the team members, who then hurriedly brought over two bottles of water.
They initially thought that An Xiaoning wanted to drink the water. To their astonishment, she opened the bottles and poured the water onto one of the corpses.
What happened next gave all of them a great shock.
