Elmer Stevens nodded approvingly and quietly retracted the Soul Subduing Mantra from his fingertips.
Joe was still crying violently. Amelia comforted him as she helped him install his head and arms back. “Cowardly Brother, calm down. Do it with me. Take a deep breath… Breathe… Breathe… Be good. Be good and I’ll give you candy.”
Elmer saw Amelia coaxing the cowardly ghost like she was coaxing a child. The corners of his mouth twitched twice. What was the use of this? Did ghosts
need to breathe? They couldn’t eat candy either! It seemed that it was still up to him. However, it was already very good that Amelia could do this!
Elmer Stevens was about to attack when he saw the coward Joe Brown burp. Amelia’s small hand on his back seemed to have magic power, and it actually slowly calmed his murderous aura!
Amelia took out two pieces of candy from her bag. She had secretly hidden them. She peeled off the candy wrapper and gave one to Joe Brown. She also took the opportunity to stuff one into her mouth. Then, Elmer Stevens saw a little girl and a coward sitting side by side on the ground eating candy.
Elmer Stevens: “…” That worked?
Amelia asked Joe Brown as she chewed on her candy, “What happened after you died? What happened?”
Joe Brown said after a short silence, “After I died, my parents moved away. There were no witnesses or surveillance cameras that caught the people who beat me. In addition, I didn’t tell my parents that I was bullied. My parents went to investigate for half a year, and in the end, the matter was left unsettled.
However, this matter was also known by everyone. After Joe Brown’s parents moved, the house that they used to live in was said to be a haunted house. A Daoist priest came to exorcise the ghosts. Not only did he not exorcise Joe Brown, but he was also trapped in that room and could not leave no matter what.
Elmer Stevens nodded. “That’s right. One of the conditions for the formation of evil spirits is to be trapped in the place of death and keep repeating the process of death.” Joe Brown was trapped in that room and kept experiencing the despair before his death. He looked at the crack in the door day and night and listened to his parents argue. As for himself, he could not seek help. He watched helplessly as death came and died in pain. In the end, he became an evil spirit.
Amelia looked at Joe Brown sympathetically and felt that he was so pitiful. She said in a soft voice, “Brother Joe, you can enter the gourd yourself. Mia won’t catch you anymore.”
Elmer Stevens was about to say that evil spirits were evil spirits because no matter how pitiful they were when they died) he was also ferocious… However, Joe Brown actually nodded and said very easily, “Okay.”
Elmer Stevens:
Amelia raised her gourd again and shouted, “Brother Joe Brown, do you dare
acknowledge my call?”
Joe Brown suddenly smiled and nodded vigorously. “Yes!” He looked deeply at Amelia. This was the first time someone had given him candy, be it when he was alive or after he died.
Joe Brown turned into a black shadow and entered the gourd. Elmer Stevens did not speak for a long time. Thinking about it, the cowardly ghost was essentially a child, a kind and quiet child. He shook his head, opened the booklet, and wrote a few words.
Amelia shook the gourd and said happily, “Master, I feel that the gourd is about to be full!”
Elmer Stevens’ mouth twitched. “It’s still too early!’
Amelia’s face fell. “Huh? When will it be full?”
Elmer Stevens reached out and a pen appeared out of thin air. He drew ten scales on the Soul-Retrieving Gourd that was the size of a fingernail. “Mia, shake it. Can you see the color of the gourd?”
Amelia’s eyes widened.
Elmer Stevens: “Now, the Soul-Retrieving Gourd has reached the first scale line. When it reaches the tenth scale, the Soul-Retrieving Gourd will be full.” Amelia nodded happily. From the looks of it, it was not very difficult!
The commotion attracted the attendants of the cafe. Amelia looked at the broken gla.s.s and suddenly became nervous. “Uncle…”
George Walton witnessed the entire process of Amelia catching the ghost.
Although he couldn’t see the ghost, just Amelia’s actions were enough to shock him. He snapped out of his shock and whispered into Amelia’s hair, “It’s fine. Don’t be afraid.”
The waiters knocked on the door and saw Ashley Sheen lying on the ground. They were shocked and stammered, “Sir, this is…”
George Walton’s expression did not change. “The children are playing too much. Is there a problem?
Waiter: “N-no…”
