Chapter 839

Once again, Josh shattered his fleeting elegance.

He fled, with the human head in hot pursuit, and behind them, Josh chased after him with his frying pan.

Gritting his teeth, Josh seized the nearby net hanging from a tree and viciously threw it at the head trailing behind him. He then threw himself to the ground, rolling around before rising heroically.

Glancing back, Josh saw that the head had been ensnared by the net. This net was Josh’s invention, imitating Lilly’s spirit net. It proved highly effective in capturing the ghostly head.

However, unlike Lilly’s spirit net, which automatically restrained ghosts, this makeshift net lacked such capabilities. The ghost head struggled fiercely, attempting to break free from the net.

Acting swiftly, Josh grabbed a handful of talismans and hurled them at the head.

“Whoosh!”

Green flames erupted, instantly reducing the ghost head to an unrecognizable state, causing it to scream in agony.

Taking advantage of the moment, Josh swiftly collected the scattered talismans from the ground, grabbing a handful and throwing them without distinguishing between their specific purposes. His primary objective was to destroy the head.

Fortunately, among the talismans were two matching ones, while the remaining seven or eight were peace blessings, evil spirit talismans, and others. Even if they had fallen and gathered some dust, they could still be used.

The ghost head was restrained. Lilly’s talismans were incredibly useful, leaving the ghost head on the verge of “dying”, trapped in the net and twitching sporadically, akin to a lifeless fish.

Josh let out a sigh of relief, finally allowing himself a few deep breaths to calm down.

“Are you willing to tell me now? Who are you? How did you die? Where are you from…” Josh demanded, locking eyes with the ghost head, which remained motionless.

He exclaimed, “Hey? You’re not going to speak? I still have more talismans!”

With an air of confidence, Josh swiftly attached a truth talisman to the head.

I have to admit, it feels pretty cool to stick a talisman like this!

The ghost head stirred, almost on the verge of vomiting blood. It was not that it could not speak, but rather that it had been beaten so severely that it lacked the energy to do so.

However, as memories started flooding back, it began to recall whose head it was.

“My name is Hex Haywire, and I’m from Motostoke…” the head whispered to itself. “That’s right, I’m Hex Haywire!”

Finally, it remembered!

The head grew excited, feeling a sense of “enlightenment”!

“I’m from Motostoke. I used to work near a kindergarten…”

“Next to that kindergarten was a small company…”

Once the memories resurfaced, the head couldn’t stop talking, its mouth crackling with speech.

“I really like young children…” The ghost head smacked its lips and continued, “Especially the good-

looking little boys.”

Josh was shocked, “Huh? Wait, so you’ve been following me? Isn’t my brother handsome? Why don’t you follow him instead?”

In matters like this, he would readily admit that his brother was more attractive than him.

The ghost head replied, “Well, he is handsome…”

As it spoke, the head struggled and rolled, its gaze fixed on Josh. “But unfortunately, he’s a bit older.”

It preferred younger children, and the ones at the kindergarten were the best.

Josh stood half a head taller than his brother, appearing more mature and stable, occasionally resembling an adult…

He liked charming kids.

Josh did not on other aspects; he simply found it unsettling.

Liking children?

Could it be that he works near the kindergarten, where he observed them daily, had sparked this affection?

But something about it felt off, raising doubts in Josh’s mind.

The head, still adorned with the truth talisman, continued speaking, “The kindergarten in question is a small private one, the type opened by an individual and recruits staff from the local community.”

Typically, standardized private kindergartens affiliated with educational organizations had proper management systems, hiring teachers with relevant qualifications.

However, there are also numerous private kindergartens with varying standards, often lacking proper regulation. The caliber of teachers recruited by such kindergartens remains a mystery.

“But I find these kindergartens appealing. The teachers they hire are more open-minded,” confessed the head.

Needless to say, dealing with people like them was relatively straightforward.

As long as the money was provided, certain demands could be met.

“I knew one particular teacher, a woman in her thirties or forties. She previously worked as a nanny before joining the kindergarten as a teacher.”

Of course, she lacked the qualification certificate for preschool teaching and had not even graduated from a relevant institution.

But with money in hand, she was willing to cater to his desires and fulfill certain requests.

“I don’t like little girls, but I’m drawn to…”

Before the human-headed ghost could finish his sentence, Josh swung the frying pan down forcefully, emitting a resounding thud!

Josh was consumed by anger, his entire body trembling. He already knew what the ghost was about to reveal without needing to hear it explicitly.

The ghost turned out to be a pedophile!
