He just became the last Celestial Master, and the school beauty is already calling him "Dad&quo

Yang Guang crossed his arms over his chest, crossed his right leg over his left, and swayed the tips of his shoes.

He stared intently at Lin Ran.

"Miss Lin."

"The food isn't ready yet, let's hurry up and talk about business."

Yang Guang's tone was harsh, showing no pity for the weak: "What exactly is the background of that possessed child?"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Ran shuddered uncontrollably.

Her face visibly paled.

Her hands gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her knuckles turning a frightening blue from the force: "I...I don't know..."

"I just go to school, come home after school, and occasionally go shopping with friends..."

"I didn't mess with anything dirty; it came to me on its own!"

Lin Ran became more and more agitated as she spoke, tears streaming down her face: "Master, please save me! It cries in my dreams every night, asking me why I don't want it..."

Mr. Lin was heartbroken to see his daughter crying like this.

He quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Master Yang, Ranran has always been timid. She wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could she possibly provoke such an evil creature?"

"Could it be that someone is deliberately trying to harm our Lin family, perhaps by casting some kind of curse?"

"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in movies?"

Chu Sheng, who was listening nearby, kept grimacing.

He carried the Bluetooth speaker behind Yang Guang, tapped the speaker casing with the back of his hand, and made a dull "thump-thump" sound.

"Boss Lin, do you really think black magic is as easy as cabbage? You think you can just buy two pounds at the market and make soup with it?"

"That kind of insidious stuff has a huge backlash."

"Without a deep-seated blood feud, who would be so bored as to do something like this to your family?"

"Moreover, the fragment of the soul that Brother Guang just dispersed was clearly carrying an extremely strong obsession."

Although Chu Sheng seems unreliable at first glance, he grew up in a temple and has more theoretical knowledge than anyone else.

He stared at Lin Ran: "A vengeful spirit of that level, once it sets its sights on its master, won't even be able to get in unless it's directly involved in the cause and effect."

Yu Zixin nodded in agreement: "Uncle Lin, we must find out the root of this problem."

"If we don't figure out the root cause, we won't even be able to find where the other party is."

"OK!"

Mr. Lin nodded immediately, then looked at his daughter and comforted her, "Ranran, just think it through carefully and cooperate well with these masters. They will definitely handle this matter, and everything will be fine afterward. Don't be afraid."

"Mom and Dad are always here."

With her father's comfort, Lin Ran's emotions stabilized considerably.

Yang Guang crossed his hands on his knees, looked directly at Lin Ran, and continued to ask, "Think about it again."

"Have you visited any places with a strong yin energy in the last six months?"

"Have you ever been to a remote mountain forest, an abandoned hospital, or perhaps joined in the commotion at someone's funeral?"

Lin Ran pulled the blanket tighter around herself and shook her head vigorously: "I absolutely haven't been there."

"Besides attending classes at school, I usually go to the mall in the city center with my best friend to drink milk tea."

"I don't even dare to go into haunted houses."

Yang Guang pressed his tongue against his cheek.

It's strange that they don't take shortcuts or venture into undeveloped areas.

Chu Sheng carried the speaker over and tapped the speaker casing with the back of his hand: "Brother Guang, could it be that this female benefactor has a yin constitution and just happened to be bumped into by a passing ghost while walking down the street?"

Yang Guang kicked Chu Sheng's fat buttocks: "Do you think the streets are full of vengeful spirits?"

"We'll see."

"How terrifying would it be to be able to swagger out onto the street like that?"

"We can destroy its divided soul so easily?"

"Moreover, for a split soul of this level to possess someone, there must be a clear causal connection."

"Being possessed by an evil spirit is called indiscriminate attack."

"But this thing has a clear target; it's coming for her."

Yu Zixin chimed in from the side, "Lin Ran, think back again."

"When that thing came to you, did it say anything special to you?"

"Or do you sense anything familiar about it?"

Lin Ran swallowed hard, her hands twisting together, her knuckles turning blue from the excessive force.

She recalled the scene from her dream, her voice trembling violently: "It...it always stood in a black mist."

"Cry in front of me."

"She cried terribly."

Yang Guang rolled his eyes and urged her to stop rambling: "Get to the point!"

"What did it say?"

Lin Ran hunched her shoulders and stammered, "It said, why don't I want her anymore?"

She said she felt so pitiful being all alone.

"She misses her mother so much."

The room fell silent.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yang Guang stared intently at Lin Ran, his face full of astonishment, and said, "Call you Mom?"

"You're a high school student, you don't even have a boyfriend, where did this 'child' come from?"

Lin Ran shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face again: "I don't know!"

"I really don't know!"

"And I've never had a boyfriend, nor have I ever stayed out overnight!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Lin Ran suddenly stopped.

Her crying stopped abruptly, and her eyes bulged outwards uncontrollably.

His face went from pale to a paper-like ashes.

She gripped the corner of the blanket with both hands, her voice shrill and piercing: "I remember!"

"I know who she is!"

"She's Xiaobao!"

The scream startled Mr. and Mrs. Lin. Mr. Lin rushed forward, grabbed his daughter's shoulders, and shook her.

"Ranran, who is Xiaobao?"

Lin Ran covered her face and broke down in tears, crying, "She's not a classmate!"

"Xiao Bao... Xiao Bao was one of my old dolls!"

doll?

The people in the room were all stunned.

Yu Zixin's eyes widened in astonishment, and Chu Sheng's gesture of touching his bald head froze in mid-air.

Jia Youcai was also completely bewildered, and turned to look at Yang Guang.

Lin Ran began to explain in fits and starts.

Xiao Bao was the first cloth doll her grandmother gave her when she turned five.

It is exquisitely crafted, with the eyes inlaid with glass beads.

She slept with that doll since she was little, dressed it up, and combed its hair.

She talks to the baby every night and calls herself the baby's mother.

This call has lasted for ten years.

Until three years ago, Mr. Lin's business expanded, and his family moved to this villa.

When we moved, the cleaning lady thought the doll was too old, with yellowed and faded edges, so she just put it in a cardboard box and left it in the old house.

"doll?"

Jia Youcai stared wide-eyed, exclaiming incredulously, "How can a broken doll turn into such a ferocious monster?"

Yang Guang glanced coldly at Jia Youcai and said, "Can't you read more books?"

"Stop making a fool of yourself here."

"Any object with a human shape is most likely to attract evil spirits, such as ceramic dolls, wooden figurines, or even paper dolls."

"It has a human form to begin with, and over time it stays with living people, absorbing their life force."

"When a living person talks to it every day and pours out their emotions, that's called 'spirit awakening'!"

Yu Zixin's face turned pale as she listened, remembering the half-closet of plush toys in her room.

Yang Guang continued, "Over time, these inanimate objects will develop a faint intelligence. In addition, being abandoned in an old house and never seeing sunlight for years will cause them to accumulate yin energy."

"It's perfectly normal for the resentment of being abandoned to fester and turn into something malevolent."

Mr. Lin broke out in a cold sweat, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "But... but even if it's become a spirit, it shouldn't be able to kill someone directly, right?"

Yang Guang said calmly, "Given the evil energy that thing had just possessed, if it really wanted to kill your daughter, she would have been dead long ago."

"It's absolutely impossible to have lasted this long."

"But it's good that we've already found it."
