Living Funeral
His tone was truly contemptuous, and damn it, Gao Ling was about to take action. However, the Taoist quickly stopped him.
I suppressed the anger boiling inside me and held Gao Ling back.
At that moment, Uncle Ghost burst into laughter. A few seconds later, his laughter abruptly ceased. He said to me, "Within seven days, you owe me seven bowls of blood. Otherwise, I will ensure that both you and that female ghost meet a terrible end."
Gao Ling cursed, "Damn it, Ghost Old Three."
Uncle Ghost replied, "Gao, if it weren't for your father's sake, you'd already be in a coffin by now."
Gao Ling was furious. I urged him to calm down and then asked Uncle Ghost, "What do you need so much blood for?"
Uncle Ghost candidly responded, "Haven't you noticed how special your blood is? Your blood can seal ghosts and kill them. Plus, you're a Yin-Yang Fate. Asking for seven bowls of your blood is actually a bargain; if someone more ruthless got their hands on you, they might even want to eat your flesh."
I held back my fury. Damn it, he wanted to drink my blood and was even thinking about eating my flesh.
I really wanted to kill this bastard, but I knew I wasn't strong enough yet, so I had to endure it. The Taoist also advised me not to act impulsively.
Taking a deep breath to calm myself down, I thought about my situation. Finally, I said, "Fine, I agree to your terms. But can you hand over that female ghost to me?"
Uncle Ghost sneered and retorted, "What do you think?"
Gao Ling said, "Fei, don't listen to him. Just give him the seven bowls of blood. Damn it, don't indulge his temper!"
At this point, what good would it do? I was outmatched and had no choice but to concede. I turned to Gao Ling and asked if he had any better ideas. He shook his head. I glanced back at the Taoist but was surprised to find that he had vanished.
Uncle Ghost said, "Brother, you'd better not try any tricks on me; otherwise, you know the consequences."
I replied to Uncle Ghost, "You'd better keep your promise too; otherwise, I'll make sure we both suffer."
Uncle Ghost chuckled a few times and assured me not to worry; once he got the seven bowls of blood, he'd return the female ghost without further entanglements. It was a deal. As I left, I initially wanted to see if the Taoist had returned, but when I looked again, he still hadn't appeared.
I thought to myself, has this Taoist lost his touch at a critical moment?
I originally intended to resolve the Spirit Medium Pact, but unexpectedly, just as I escaped from one trap, I fell into another. The Spirit Medium Pact was still unresolved when the Seven Bowls of Blood Pact came knocking. Damn it, what kind of bad luck is this? Why do I have to deal with all this misfortune?
Although I had no idea what this bastard wanted my blood for, I was certain it couldn't be anything good.
And to make matters worse, he claimed I was part of the Yin-Yang Fate. I still didn’t understand what that meant. It felt terrible to be schemed against—who would feel good about that? Damn it, what kind of fate is this? It clearly felt like nothing but a cursed life.
At that moment, Gao Ling was also cursing up a storm. This time, she directly called out to Uncle Ghost and Ghost Old Three, cursing their ancestors for generations.
We got into the car, and Gao Ling asked me what we should do now.
My mind was in chaos; I had no idea what to do. I was tied to that female ghost by a thread—if she died, I would surely be in trouble too. That red-clad female ghost really took liberties with me without my consent; it felt like the price of sleeping with a ghost.
Sitting in the car, we each lit a cigarette. After finishing one, Gao Ling said, "Let’s go. I’ll go find my dad to deal with him."
I heard her mention Gao Ling's Dad and immediately asked, "Where is your dad?"
Gao Ling suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Actually, I don’t know." I stared at her in disbelief. However, I felt that Gao Ling's Dad was probably busy, and her family seemed quite mysterious. This time, Gao Qing had returned to handle matters with Uncle Liang and Uncle Cao before leaving.
He must have gone to take care of things at home. Strangely enough, it seemed like Gao Ling had been completely excluded from all of it.
I told Gao Ling not to drive just yet; I wanted to wait and see if the Taoist would show up.
But after waiting for about ten minutes without any sign of him, Gao Ling asked, "Fei, who are you waiting for?"
I snapped out of my daze and replied, "Not waiting for anyone. Let’s go."
I had just spilled a bowl of blood and still felt dizzy; I leaned against the car to rest. Eventually, I dozed off and only woke up when Gao Ling called me to get out once we reached home.
Back in my room, I was too lazy even to take a shower; I just lay down. Now that Taoist was nowhere to be found.
My life was in Ghost Old Three's hands. I thought to myself, is it really this hard?
I squinted my eyes, and before long, I began to feel drowsy. Perhaps it was because too much blood had been drawn! Lying half-asleep on the bed, I suddenly heard someone call my name, "Chen Lang..."
At first, I thought it was a hallucination, but then I felt a cold hand touching my cheek, which instantly jolted me awake.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the woman in red. She looked somewhat haggard at that moment, and I found myself staring blankly at her. Seeing her in person filled me with an inexplicable warmth.
I kept gazing at the woman in red, momentarily at a loss for words.
She called out to me again, "Chen Lang," her eyes filled with tenderness... It made my heart ache a little.
This time, I responded almost instinctively.
Upon hearing my reply, the woman in red broke into a radiant smile. Suddenly, I thought she looked truly beautiful at that moment. Despite her haggard appearance and perhaps still stained with the blood of innocent people, I couldn't help but be captivated.
The woman in red leaned closer to me.
I shifted slightly backward and asked her, "Are you alright now? Who saved you?"
She replied, "A Taoist saved me."
After she spoke, she suddenly pointed to her right and said, "He is over there."
I turned my head and saw the Taoist standing beside me. However, his spirit seemed a bit faint; I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination.
At that moment, I wondered if the woman in red had been rescued, which meant I wouldn't have to fear Ghost Old Three anymore and wouldn't need to give him blood.
I glanced at the Taoist and thought that he was quite reliable for having directly rescued the woman in red.
I opened my mouth to speak, but the words caught in my throat. Initially, I wanted to say that now that the female ghost had been saved, he could help us break the Spirit Medium Pact.
But with her right beside me, I suddenly found myself unable to speak.
I didn't know what was wrong with me; it was just that in front of her, I felt hesitant to voice my thoughts for fear of making her sad.
I quickly became aware of my own emotions. In my heart, I told myself, "She is a female ghost! If you strengthen her, you are harming yourself!" Chen Fei, you cannot be bewitched by a female ghost! But another voice in my head countered, "Chen Fei, you have already formed a bond with her, and she is so pitiful. Can you really bear to say such things to her? It would be like stabbing a knife into her heart. Do you remember how she called you 'Chen Lang' with such affection?"
My mind was in turmoil, and for a moment, I didn't know whose voice to listen to.
However, the Taoist priest seemed to sense something and said to the female ghost in red, "You should step aside for a moment. Your soul is scattered; it's best if you take a rest."
The female ghost replied to the Taoist, "Thank you, Master. I will leave now, but please allow me to say a few more words to Chen Lang."
The Taoist nodded and fell silent.
The female ghost then turned to me and said, "Chen Lang, I have to go now. Will you miss me?"
I stared at the female ghost for a moment, unsure of what to say. Perhaps wanting her to leave quickly, I nodded slightly.
Suddenly, tears welled up in the female ghost's eyes. She leaned in and kissed me before disappearing.
A few seconds later, I came back to my senses and cursed myself internally. How pathetic! I had been enchanted by a female ghost.
I thanked the Taoist priest.
He did not respond directly but continued, "What were you going to say earlier?"
I remained silent for a while, feeling heavy-hearted. But thinking back to my earlier conversation with Chen Jian, I realized that humans and ghosts were ultimately on different paths. Taking a deep breath, I said to the Taoist priest, "Why didn’t you help me break the Spirit Medium Pact?"
The Taoist's gaze fell upon me and paused for a few seconds before he replied, "I can't break it."
I was taken aback and asked, "Why can't it be broken?"
The Taoist explained, "That person is very insidious. He used your hair to cast a spell and lured that poor female ghost over. After that, he tampered with her in some way. So even if I brought her back now, I still can't break the Spirit Medium Pact right away."
Hair? That must have been when Ghost Old Three took it without me noticing that night. That bastard was truly cunning; he exploited the feelings of the red-clothed female ghost for 'Chen Lang.' I then asked the Taoist priest, "What did he do to Lin Xue?"
The Taoist sighed and said, "Do you know about the Evil Spirit Talisman?"
I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know. The Taoist priest continued, "Right now, she has three Evil Spirit Talismans on her, all in critical locations. These talismans can take the ghost's life in an instant. Of course, taking the ghost's life also means taking yours."
I was speechless.
I urgently asked, "So what should we do now?"
The Taoist priest fell silent for a moment before saying, "Do your best and follow my lead. I will definitely help you."
I thanked him again and asked, "Do I still need to give you my blood?" The Taoist priest nodded. I was curious about what he would do with my blood after giving it to Ghost Old Three.
So I asked the Taoist priest what he needed my blood for.
He replied, "It's not bright yet. I can attach myself to you and take you to see for yourself. This way, he won't easily detect us. Of course, the premise is that you willingly allow me to possess you."
After he spoke, I glanced at the Taoist priest. His face was calm and expressionless. After a moment of hesitation, I agreed because I was eager to know the answer.
Once the Taoist priest possessed me, my own consciousness remained intact. We quietly stepped outside and hailed a taxi to Ghost Old Three's house. The lights were still on inside when we arrived. Peering through the window, I was met with a chilling sight…
