Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

In a remote mountain area.

In the pitch-black night, the lonely cabin in the desolate wilderness stood out starkly. The broken windows creaked and groaned in the night wind...

Inside the room, incense and candles were scattered all over the floor, their light flickering. As far as the eye could see, blood stretched from outside the door into the room, with white candles standing upright and intertwined within a frame drawn in blood, forming a huge hexagonal blood array.

A woman stood in the center, wearing a white halter-neck dress that was tattered and torn. She was covered in mud and sweat, and her hair was stuck to her skin in clumps.

What was most shocking was the long, dark brown wound on her arm, blooming on her fair skin, with deep red blood constantly oozing out, dripping from her fingertips and merging into the blood pool. The woman remained motionless, her eyes crazed yet obsessive, muttering something to herself.

Suddenly, countless dark shadows appeared and disappeared on the wall, crawling menacingly toward the center of the woman's body, rustling...rustling...the silence made it all the more eerie.

"Why! Why didn't it work..." The woman muttered in fear as she noticed the shadowy figure. Holding the candle, she frantically shook her injured arm and shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

"Why hasn't it appeared yet! Why... why..." The dark figure drew closer and closer to the woman, its sharp teeth visible in the candlelight. Even without a sound, a sinister aura could be felt.

Some of the outermost candles have already begun to go out.

"No!" The woman screamed, ignoring the shards of glass on the ground, frantically trying to light candles as if she felt nothing. Blood gushed from her arm with each step, quickly staining a small patch of ground.

The bloodstains connecting the candle were blurred by the bleeding feet.

She was delirious, shaking the candle as she lit it. With each candle extinguished, the shadow drew closer. She stared intently at the already blurred bloodstains, then suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

It's over......

It's all over...

Suddenly, a bluish-white tentacle shot out from the ground, grabbing the woman's calf. A bone-chilling coldness seeped into her marrow. As the last candle in the woman's hand went out, the dark figure chuckled, "Hehe, got you!"

The voice was sharp and malicious.

The woman instinctively stepped back, fell to the ground in despair, and a heart-wrenching pain twisted in her mind. She spat out a mouthful of blood, the candle in her hand loosened and rolled into a corner, her consciousness gradually fading away, leaving behind only a bitter smile.

This is how it is again in this life...

Her life is forever rotten...

The next instant, the imagined tearing sensation did not come; instead, a blurry light and shadow appeared before my eyes.

The bloodstains on the ground slowly disappeared into the ground as the light and shadow appeared, and all the candlelight was lit. The surrounding shadows roared unwillingly and then dissipated.

"You? Why are you calling me?" A melodious and clear voice slowly drifted over, sweeping away the murky yin energy in the air.

The woman's confused consciousness was jolted awake, and she slowly opened her eyes, as if in a final burst of energy before death.

There was a shadowy figure suspended in mid-air, appearing and disappearing, its shape unclear.

she......

Successful.

Under the bright moonlight, the woman in the white dress, lying on the ground in a disheveled state, used her last bit of consciousness to raise her injured arm and point at the illusory figure.

"I will offer my soul as a sacrifice so that those who have wronged me will suffer a terrible death."

"Cause and effect are reciprocal; I have sinned against you. You may grant him his wish." The phantom's expression was one of pity, expressing deep regret. Her voice flowed gently like a clear spring, crisp and melodious, seemingly divine, causing the woman in the white dress to tremble.

She lowered her arm dejectedly, the obsessive light in her eyes gradually fading.

She understood. "I have failed you," implying that within the bounds of cause and effect, she could not do it.

She was politely apologizing to herself.

But why?

Why could her voice pierce through my long-held evil thoughts? I clearly summoned an evil being...

Painful memories from the past flashed through the woman's mind: being beaten, isolated, rejected, and despised... The images flashed by frame by frame.

Her lips trembled, a mixture of pain, despair, and relief. Tears welled in her eyes and fell silently down her cheeks.

"Will those who bully me receive the retribution they deserve?"

"Your wish will surely be fulfilled!"

As soon as the illusory figure finished speaking, the woman in the white dress calmly lowered her arms, appearing harmonious and serene.

In the blink of an eye, a brilliant golden light flashed, slicing through the dark sky like a sword and illuminating the earth. Upon closer inspection, however, a strange red hue was mixed within the golden light.

........

........

"Find it quickly!" A group of people looked around with sizzling flashlights in hand.

"Don't let her get away."

"Hurry up! That little bastard must be over here." A fat, middle-aged woman in her fifties, with a face full of fat, stood with her hands on her hips, directing a group of people around her.

Some people expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "Aunt Zhang, we were called here late at night to look for someone, and we didn't even have time to drink water before we chased after you. You can't treat us like your cattle!"

"Yes."

"Yes."

More and more people in the crowd became dissatisfied.

Seeing the crowd making a fuss, Aunt Zhang started throwing a tantrum, rolling around on the ground and crying, "Old man! Ever since you left, these people have been bullying us widows and orphans! You deserve to die a horrible death! You sacrificed yourself for this village, and they get the benefits but then turn their backs on us! Old man..."

The shouts grew louder and louder.

Everyone's faces immediately turned awkward.

"Alright, alright! Stop crying." The village chief, who was standing at the front, spoke up. His head was aching from crying, so he waved his hand and said, "Aunt Zhang, get up."

He turned to the crowd and lectured them, "In Hehuan Village, everyone should work together. Do you think you won't encounter similar situations in your own homes in the future?"

After the village chief gave them a good scolding, the shouting people lowered their heads. They dared not go against the village chief, who was the most powerful person in Hehuan Village.

Aunt Zhang watched them being scolded, then looked at them smugly, quickly got up, and patted the dirt and grass clippings off her bottom.

Wang Ergouzi, who was standing next to the village chief, suddenly exclaimed.

"The lights are on at Old Qin's house up ahead!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! That little bitch must be over there." Aunt Zhang looked over and ran in that direction first, her flesh trembling with each step.

Her obese body hampered her movements, and she had to stop and catch her breath after running only a few steps.

Looking around, none of the villagers from Hehuan Village had followed.

"Village chief, if we don't go now, she'll run away..." Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, unaware of the strange reactions from the others.

“Village chief…that’s Old Qin’s daughter…” The tall man next to the village chief looked conflicted, hesitant to speak.

The other villagers remained silent, each with their own thoughts, and their faces revealed a hint of fear.

"Village Chief!" Aunt Zhang called out again.

"Let's go!" The village chief's tone left no room for refusal, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

"Village chief..." Someone behind him stammered, trying to refute.

"Hmm?" The village chief glanced at him, startling the man so much that he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The crowd moved over in a grand procession.

The chaotic footsteps and shouts sounded particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime, and everyone's eyes were almost blinded.
