Chapter 111 Possession
Chapter 111 Possession
Amidst the chaos, the last trace of hesitation in Jianyu's eyes vanished completely.
The next second, the water in the well burst open, and black water surged.
The strange, upside-down figure suddenly shot out of the well, head down and feet up, its entire body suspended in mid-air.
Jianyu's head suddenly turned towards the man, her eyes rolled upwards, leaving only the whites of her eyes visible.
Jianyu remained in the posture of casting a spell, her hands gripping the copper bell tightly. Her neck swayed unnaturally a few times before she suddenly stopped.
The bell was shaking violently, and cracks had appeared on its surface.
The well ghost's swollen, blackened features were twisted and ferocious. After suspending its body in the air for a moment, it suddenly landed and grabbed the hoe that was being swung at Jian Yu.
Its pitch-black eyes were fixed on the only living person in the yard—the middle-aged man who was still running wild.
Jianyu made a grasping motion with one hand, and at the same time, the ghost in the well grabbed the man's neck.
"Now!"
Jianyu and the ghost in the well spoke at the same time, shouting at Liu Jia in the well.
She had to seize this fleeting opportunity and dared not waste a single second.
Having reversed the possession, Jianyu had now taken control of the ghost. All its malevolence and obsession were drawn to the yang energy of the living person, and it completely abandoned Liu Jia at the bottom of the well.
She immediately put away the bell, pressed the incense, and restarted the Soul-Suppressing Mirror. The black light on the mirror surface re-gathered, firmly suppressing the remaining yin energy at the well's mouth.
Both the human and the ghost strained with all their might to tighten the rope, roaring, "Liu Jia! Hold on! Immediately smear soil to seal the eyes!"
What Jianyu didn't know was that there was a ghost at Liu Jia's feet at that moment.
Although Jianyu had told herself not to speak carelessly, she had never seen anything like this before.
Liu Jia finally couldn't hold back and shouted it out.
"Sister! There's more down there!"
Upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Jian Yu abruptly raised her hand, stopping all the suppression spells.
Instead, he flicked the soul bell with his fingertips, deliberately changing the tone of the bell, not to suppress the ghost, but to release it.
Southern Xinjiang witchcraft can summon, fix, and even unleash evil.
The chaotic, metallic sounds pierced the night sky, no longer binding the vengeful spirit at the bottom of the well, but instead giving it a way to vent its anger and escape to find food.
Another ghost at the bottom of the well quickly climbed up.
"Sister! Save me!" Liu Jia managed to squeeze out a cry.
Just now, she felt her head getting further and further away from the well opening, and no matter how she climbed, she couldn't get up. It was as if she would sink completely into the dark and cold bottom of the well at any moment.
"Don't breathe!" both the human and the ghost shouted at the same time.
"Knock knock knock".
Just as Liu Jia held her breath, a rotting, upside-down face appeared in front of her, the two faces less than a fist's distance apart.
The stench of decay hit them, and Liu Jia didn't dare to breathe. The few seconds that the two stared at each other felt like an eternity.
Liu Jia could only hear her own heartbeat. She closed her eyes tightly, trying her best to suppress her fear.
Inoue, there's something even more attractive to the second demon.
After glancing at Liu Jia for a few seconds, the second ghost quickly crawled towards the well opening, bringing with it a foul stench.
Upon seeing the second ghost dart out, Jianyu immediately put away the bell, pressed the incense, and restarted the Soul-Suppressing Mirror. The black light on the mirror re-converged, trapping the two ghosts at the well mouth. At the same time, she pulled the hemp rope with all her might.
Liu Jia gritted her teeth and slowly climbed down the well, stepping on the cracks in the bricks of the well wall.
The well was pitch black, and the fishy smell grew stronger, mixed with the putrid stench of muddy water.
She could hear a buzzing sound above her head, as well as Jianyu's low growl.
Jianyu was constantly using cinnabar paper and incense to tightly restrain the two ghosts in the well.
The two ghosts, burned by the cinnabar paper, let out muffled whimpers, but they were still unwilling to give up. Head down and feet up, they desperately crawled toward the man.
The man was already frozen in place, the scene before him so bizarre that it defied his comprehension.
His face turned deathly pale, his hand holding the hoe began to tremble violently, and the cursing he was sputtering stopped abruptly, leaving only uncontrollable trembling.
It's quite difficult for Jianyu to hold back two ghosts at the same time.
One of the ghosts broke free of its restraints slightly. Its limbs swayed stiffly, and its dark fingertips gripped the man tightly without hesitation, instantly wrapping around his limbs.
A piercing scream escaped the man's throat, his voice distorted and shrill. He was being dragged away by an invisible force, his feet leaving the ground and his body gradually tilting.
Finally, he was forcibly bent into an upside-down position, exactly like the ghost's death.
But what's even more suffocating is that the man isn't quite dead yet.
Liu Jia didn't dare to look back and quickened her pace to climb down. After climbing for about ten feet, she finally saw the bottom of the well.
At the bottom of the well, there was a layer of murky muddy water, and the spring was in the middle of the muddy water, emitting a faint black smoke.
Around the spring, there were some broken bones and a clump of wet hair, which was enough to make one's scalp crawl.
Just as she was about to take the basket off her back to empty the broken jade soil, she felt a chill on her ankle. Looking down, she saw a swollen head suddenly emerge from the surface of the muddy water.
It was still upside down, head down, face up.
Its dark eyes were fixed on her, and its hands emerged from the mud and water, gripping her ankles tightly.
The icy air crept up her trouser leg, making her bones ache.
She looked down and saw that several more hands were reaching out from the water at the bottom of the well, gripping her ankles tightly.
The icy air crept up her trouser leg, making her bones ache.
"Sister! Pull me up!" Liu Jia shouted, almost dropping the basket in her hand.
Upon hearing the shout, Jianyu threw the last few sheets of cinnabar paper at the upside-down ghost's head while pulling hard on the rope:
"Hold on! I'll pull you up a little, quickly scatter some crushed jade soil!"
The rope was pulled taut, and Liu Jia took the opportunity to steady herself, scattering all the broken jade soil in her hand onto the spring while frantically chanting incantations.
The broken jade soil made a "sizzling" sound as soon as it touched the spring.
The black mist rising from the spring vanished instantly.
The hand that was gripping Liu Jia's ankle slowly loosened.
The upside-down head slowly sank down into the muddy water.
The two ghosts outside completely abandoned the well and used all their strength to drag the man.
The middle-aged man's screams grew weaker and weaker until finally only a dull thud remained.
He was dragged down by the two well ghosts and fell straight back into the deep well.
The black water churned at the wellhead, then instantly returned to calm. The malevolent, fishy, and putrid smells quickly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Jia was covered in injuries from being bumped by two ghosts that had crawled into the well. "Sister, thank you! Seal it up! Pull me out!"
Liu Jia's voice was trembling as she spoke; what she had just experienced was truly terrifying for her.
Jian Yu pulled hard on the rope and slowly pulled Liu Jia up.
The two collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Several dark marks were left on Liu Jia's ankles.
Jianyu's hands were covered in cinnabar and dark brown stains, and she was sweating profusely, her heart still pounding.
When Liu Jia was bumped by the two ghosts, she was almost pulled into the well.
