Chapter 703
Spoiled (Lily)
Upon hearing the young manâs grievances, Josh couldnât help but feel terrified by such a girlfriend.
Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, âBut even with those bracelets and necklaces⦠doesnât she leave you alone?â
Josh couldnât believe it.
The young man, now wearing a necklace and bracelets, immediately sought answers from Lilly when he heard that her necklace could protect lives.
It was clear that even with the necklace and bracelets, his terrifying girlfriend still managed to find him.
Since she would come looking for him whether he wore them or not, he decided it was better not to wear them at all.
The young man broke down, saying, âEven if I wear them, she still comes⦠but if I donât wear the necklace and bracelets she gave me, her appearance is far from ordinary.â
Wearing the bracelets and necklace, his girlfriend would often appear suddenly, standing silently by his bed while he slept, or quietly lying beside him when he was deeply asleep.
When he didnât wear the bracelets and necklace, his girlfriend would show up with a furious expression, her eyes glaring intensely, hysterically asking him why he wasnât wearing the bracelet she had given him.
âWhy arenât you wearing the bracelet and necklace? Are you planning to find another woman? If you take off the bracelet and necklace I gave you, I will surely take you awayâ¦â
These were the words his girlfriend had said.
âThere was one time when I took off the bracelet and necklace. I was asleep, but somehow, in a daze, I walked out of the door and unknowingly climbed to the rooftop⦠It was just as I was about to jump that a security guard shouted and startled me awake.â
âWhen I woke up, I found myself holding the necklace and bracelet in my hand, just one step away from jumping off the building.â
The young man was so terrified that he didnât go home for three whole days. He dared not take off the bracelet and stayed with his friends, only able to sleep when someone was watching over him.
During those three days, he desperately searched for a practitioner and tried various methods, but it only further enraged his girlfriend.
She disrupted his peace, scaring away his friends and rendering the practitioners he had found useless. Now he couldnât even sleep properly.
On this day, in a state of panic, he sought something to protect himself, and thatâs when he heard Lilly say that the bracelet could safeguard his life, prompting him to come running.
Josh and Lilly finally understood the young manâs desperation.
Lilly said, âShe must be a resentful spirit⦠and not a particularly powerful one.â
Josh exclaimed in horror, âAnd you say this isnât a powerful resentful spirit?â
The young man almost jumped off a building, and itâs still not considered powerful?
Lilly shook her head and explained, âIf she were already a powerful resentful spirit, she would have succeeded in taking a life during the first attempt, without giving others a chance to wake him up.â
The young man shook his head, saying, âThatâs impossible⦠she must be powerful! Very powerful!
Otherwise, why would she frequently appear and scare me, almost taking me away?â
Josh was also puzzled. Lilly had mentioned that ordinary woeful ghosts could only be seen under specific circumstances, relying on the right timing and conditions.
A more powerful resentful spirit could manifest itself abruptly, startling others and even having the ability to take lives.
However, not all ghosts could choose to manifest themselves or make themselves visible at will.
Therefore, Josh believed that if the young manâs girlfriend could appear at any time, she must be quite powerful.
Lilly explained, âThe reason she can appear at any time is precisely because of these bracelets and necklaces. She has passed away, and these items, twisted with both her hair and the hair of a living person, act as a medium, allowing her to appear freely.â
Without the necklace and bracelets, she wouldnât be able to manifest herself so easily. It would take at least ten days or more for her to appear again.
Josh had another question, âBut if he throws away the bracelet and necklace, canât she just pick them up?â
Lilly asked, âBig brother, after she picked them up that one time, have you never dared to throw them away again?â
The young man nodded, âThatâs rightâ¦â
Lilly looked at him sympathetically, âActually, you can try throwing them away again. She definitely wonât be able to pick them up.â
âEven if she manages to pick them up, it will take a month or two before she can do so. After she picks them up, if you throw them again, she probably wonât be able to retrieve them for half a year.â
And even if she did, she would be so occupied with retrieving them that she wouldnât have the energy to scare him anymore.
The young man looked utterly bewildered.
What⦠what kind of operation was this?
Could things be manipulated like this?
Lilly continued, âIf you donât have the bracelets and necklace, she wonât be able to visit you so frequently. If she doesnât see you often, she wonât be able to scare you like this. If she canât scare you, she wonât have the opportunity to influence youâ¦â
âNow youâre becoming more and more mentally exhausted, making it easier for her to get close to you, increasing the chances of her taking you away.â
If this continues, when the young manâs spirit is completely depleted, it will be the perfect time for the female ghost to succeed in taking his life.
Thatâs why they say, to rely on righteousness to protect yourself. Thereâs truth in those words!
The young man looked completely lost, âThen⦠can you help me get rid of her?â
He didnât even dare to say âkillâ for fear of his girlfriend hearing it.
Lilly nodded, âSure, just wear this bracelet.â
Josh chimed in, âYes, buy a bracelet and get a free home visit to exorcise ghosts!â
The onlookers were initially captivated by the story.
But when it came to this point and Lilly mentioned selling a bracelet, they were left speechless.
âKid, donât listen to her. Sheâs just trying to scare you into buying a bracelet. Itâs so unethical!â
âIf sheâs as powerful as she claims, she should help you get rid of the female ghost without asking for payment. Sheâs just trying to cheat you!â
âYeah, practitioners are supposed to uphold justice, right? Helping people get rid of ghosts should be done selflessly, not for money!â
âDonât fall for their act of kindness. They might be working together, just pretending!â
The crowd looked disdainfully at Max.
Once again, Max found himself in a bewildered state.
No, even if they were fraudsters, even if they were swindlers.
They should be looking disdainfully at Lilly⦠um, no, looking disdainfully at Josh!
Why were they looking at him? He hadnât said anything!
