Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 178 Is he in pain?

Not only Huang Jinjin didn't understand, but Chen Muqing and Shao Qidong also failed to grasp Chen Miao's meaning.

Why spray that mist, and why look in the mirror?
But at this moment, neither of them spoke.

Because Huang Jinjin had already picked up those two items.

"Just spray it on your right cheek and neck."

Chen Miao added another reminder.

Huang Jinjin glanced at Chen Miao, then subconsciously picked up the small mirror and looked at her right cheek and neck.

What she saw was fair and rosy skin, delicate earrings, and a slender neck and collarbone.

Aside from the dark circles under her eyes that were concealed by makeup, everything else about her was a beauty she was proud of.

What does the other party want her to see?
He glanced at Chen Miao again.

Chen Miao's clear, unwavering gaze surprised Huang Jinjin, who was used to seeing eyes filled with desire.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the spray bottle with her right hand and was about to spray it on her face.

But just then, she seemed to have thought of something.

"Give me your hand."

Chen Miao paused for a moment, then reached out his hand.

puff!

Huang Jinjin sprayed the developing spray onto Chen Miao's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Miao was puzzled.

"Hmph, how do I know if this is poison? What if I get disfigured after spraying it? Even if you die, I won't be able to recover."

As she spoke, Huang Jinjin waited for nearly ten more minutes.

During the process, none of the four people spoke, but surprisingly, there was no awkwardness.

Seeing that there was no change in the skin on Chen Miao's hands, Huang Jinjin then sprayed the spray on her face and neck twice.

The spray was icy cold, but thankfully the bar's air conditioning was quite warm, so she didn't feel too cold.

Just as Huang Jinjin was about to pick up the mirror to check herself, Chen Muqing, who was peeking over from the side due to the angle, suddenly screamed and buried her head behind Chen Miao.

Chen Miao was not surprised by this; he had anticipated this outcome.

It might leave some psychological trauma on Chen Muqing, but since this kind of thing has happened to Chen Muqing, Chen Miao thinks it's better for her to know.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future and Chen Muqing doesn't even realize that Chen Miao exists, that would be a real problem.

Shao Qidong and Huang Jinjin were both startled by Chen Muqing's shout.

Huang Jinjin was baffled, while Shao Qidong immediately went over to ask Chen Muqing what was wrong.

But Chen Muqing didn't dare to pull herself out of the corner behind Chen Miao, she just pointed in the direction of Huang Jinjin.

"On her face! On her face!"

Shao Qidong turned his head and looked over. Upon seeing it, he was so startled that he shrank back abruptly.

"You, on your face!"

Chen Muqing and Shao Qidong's reactions made Huang Jinjin nervously raise the mirror in her hand.

But upon seeing it, she screamed and threw the mirror away.

In the mirror, she saw a black handprint on her right cheek, like a birthmark. The handprint was smaller than her nose!

"What is this? What is this?!"

Huang Jinjin pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped her face.

Chen Miao reactivated his Yin-Yang Eyes and said, "Stop rubbing, it'll be gone in a minute."

The effects of the developing spray will naturally fade once they wear off.

"What is this? What did you make me spray?!"

Huang Jinjin glared angrily at Chen Miao.

Chen Miao saw through the other emotions hidden beneath Huang Jinjin's anger and said calmly, "You should know what they are."

“I saw him as soon as you came over, which is why I asked you if you had an abortion.”

Chen Miao's words froze the anger on Huang Jinjin's face.

Chen Miao thought that Huang Jinjin's anger was hiding fear, but he was wrong.

"You...you can really see it?"

Seeing Huang Jinjin's eyes suddenly redden, Chen Miao nodded.

Huang Jinjin covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.

"Does he...he...look like me?"

Looking at her still-developing features, Chen Miao didn't lie: "I can't tell, she's too young." Those words, "too young," immediately brought Huang Jinjin to tears.

"It's all my fault, it was all my carelessness, boohoo..."

Huang Jinjin's crying made Chen Muqing slowly peek out from behind Chen Miao.

After she saw that the marks on Huang Jinjin's face and neck had faded, she carefully hugged Chen Miao's arm, huddled behind him, and asked, "Sanshui, what happened to her?"

"It's nothing, the child is resentful and won't leave, he's clinging to her."

Chen Miao's words were simple, but Chen Muqing's grip on Chen Miao's arm tightened.

"You mean, that's, that's..."

"Were those traces left by a ghost?"

Chen Miao nodded.

"Yes, it was left behind by that ghost baby."

Shao Qidong had been listening the whole time; he had witnessed everything from beginning to end.

Before the handprint disappeared, he witnessed a scene that horrified him.

There's another handprint on Huang Jinjin's face!
this means……

"San, Sanshui, you mean that thing is alive? It's on Huang Jinjin?"

Chen Miao looked at Shao Qidong, unsure how to explain whether he was 'alive' or not.

As the soothing music played in the bar, Chen Miao slowly said, "It's right on her right shoulder, around her neck."

Upon hearing this, Chen Muqing and Shao Qidong both fixed their gazes on that spot.

But there was nothing there.

"Sanshui, don't scare me. Can you really see it?"

Chen Muqing no longer dared to look at Huang Jinjin, fearing that she might make eye contact with that thing without her knowledge.

"No, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chen Miao patted Chen Muqing's hand.

Since he wants Chen Muqing to think of him first when she encounters similar situations in the future, he must give her the corresponding confidence.

Immediately, Chen Miao said to Huang Jinjin, "Do you need me to take care of him for you?"

Chen Miao's words made Huang Jinjin's crying subside a little.

"I can help you solve this."

Chen Miao continued.

Huang Jinjin slowly raised her head, looking at Chen Miao with teary eyes.

"Can you let me see him? I want to see him."

Chen Miao shook his head.

"There's nothing you can do."

Developing spray can only reveal traces of ghosts left on the surface of an object, but it cannot reveal the ghost itself.

Or rather, the developing spray in Chen Miao's hand was not.

Based on Chen Miao's understanding of the Administration Bureau over this period of time, perhaps a Class C or higher investigator could exchange for a high-level developing spray.

Huang Jinjin looked sad and began to sob again.

Chen Miao shook his head and asked, "When did you have the abortion?"

"No, I didn't abort it, it was an accident, sob... two months ago."

Two months ago?

Chen Miao glanced at the ghost baby with surprise.

If it was two months ago, why didn't this ghost baby harm Huang Jinjin?

Chen Miao looked again at the series of actions of the ghost baby.

With Huang Jinjin's words, Chen Miao suddenly understood some of it.

The ghost baby's posture didn't seem to be about harming Huang Jinjin; it was more like... it was holding Huang Jinjin?
Regardless of whether it's to harm Huang Jinjin, the two being together will not end well for either of them.

Chen Miao closed his Yin-Yang Eyes, which were about to run out of Yin energy, and looked at Huang Jinjin, saying, "If you're willing, I can help you pass on to the afterlife."

This time, Chen Miao no longer used the word 'solution' in his words.

Huang Jinjin seemed to understand the tenderness in Chen Miao's words.

She looked at her right shoulder, pouted, and said:

"Is he in pain?"
