I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 84 Infant

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Infant

Liu Chao’s wife had a Ghost Infant lying on her back!

The Ghost Infant looked only a few months old, its plump little hands were clinging to Liu Chao’s wife’s left shoulder, revealing a small head and watching you with a wary eye.

From its appearance, the Ghost Infant wasn’t terrifying; its chubby features even looked a bit cute.

Of course, this was only superficial; you didn’t know much about it, and beneath its cute and adorable appearance might lie a malevolent heart that devoured souls and flesh.

Liu Chao naturally couldn’t see the Ghost Infant; he stepped forward to say a few words to his wife, then introduced her to you.

You nodded politely to Mrs. Liu, and she courteously welcomed you in.

You and Liu Chao sat down in the living room. While his wife was preparing tea, you took a quick look around with your slightly warm left eye. Other than the Ghost Infant on Liu Chao’s wife’s shoulder, you didn’t see another one.

"Mr. Liu, how many people are there in your family?"

"Three, and I also have a son who’s currently in his final year of high school. The academic pressure is so high that I’ve simply let him board at school."

You nodded, and just as you were about to speak, a sudden sound of a porcelain plate hitting the floor came from the kitchen: "Ping—"

"What happened?" Liu Chao quickly stood up and asked toward the kitchen.

His wife, sounding a bit nervous, said, "No, nothing, I just slipped a bit, and the plate fell to the ground. You entertain the guest for a moment; I will clean it up right away."

"All right, be careful; don’t let your hand..."

"Hiss—"

Liu Chao had hardly finished speaking when his wife let out a sharp intake of breath.

Clearly, she must have cut her hand on a shard of the broken plate.

Wait a minute!

If she was cut, that meant there would be blood!

You abruptly stood up and rushed toward the kitchen.

By the time you and Liu Chao reached the kitchen, his wife was just standing up, her index finger cut by a piece of ceramic and about to wash the wound.

At the same time, you saw the Ghost Infant on Liu Chao’s wife’s shoulder crawl down quickly, heading toward the blood-stained ceramic shard on the ground.

"Stay back!"

You instantly shouted, and at the same time, pulled out a Cinnabar Talisman from your pocket and swiftly slapped it toward the Ghost Infant!

"Gah!"

The Ghost Infant let out a strange cry the moment it touched the Cinnabar Talisman. It seemed frightened and quickly crawled back up, once again lying on Liu Chao’s wife’s shoulder.

"Gah, gah!"

The Ghost Infant was crying like a newborn baby. Although you couldn’t understand what it was crying about, since the Cinnabar Talisman was effective and it apparently still saw Liu Chao’s wife as its kin, clinging to her back in times of danger, it was clear there was a connection.

Seeing you staring at his wife’s shoulder, Liu Chao quietly asked, "Little Li, is that thing...?"

You nodded and said to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, please find a band-aid to cover the wound. I’ll take care of the ceramic shards on the ground."

With that, you took out several paper towels from the cabinet nearby, wiped the blood off the ceramic pieces, then, with a lighter from Liu Chao, burned the bloodied paper towels to ashes in the sink.

Afterwards, Liu Chao and his wife sat down together in the living room, both looking at you with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

"Don’t move, just sit tight. I’ll find the other one first,"

you said, standing in the center of the living room as you slowly closed your eyes.

By then, the burning sensation in your left eye had spread to your right. As both eyes became unbearably hot, you suddenly snapped them open!

The moment you opened your eyes, the pupils flashed with the mysterious Magic Seal that always appeared at critical moments to save your life.

At that moment, what you saw through your eyes was completely different from the usual. Your vision had penetrated everything, seeing the essence of objects. Walls were no longer obstacles blocking your sight; to you, the entire villa was transparent!

When your gaze swept past Liu Chao and his wife, all you saw were two figures full of Vitality, but on Mrs. Liu’s back was the shadow of a Ghost Infant, mixed with Yin energy and a trace of Buddhism’s righteous energy.

In the eyes of Liu Chao and his wife, your eyes were emitting a strange glow at the moment, and their faith in you was greatly strengthened as a result.

Even after scanning the entire villa, you still couldn’t find the other Ghost Infant.

In such a state, you couldn’t even sustain it for more than twenty seconds. After scanning the villa twice, your eyes felt as though they were scorched by blazing flames.

Gently closing your eyes, you waited for the burning sensation to fade before you opened them again, stepping back weakly and heavily seating yourself on the sofa.

"How’s it going?" asked Liu Chao anxiously.

You shook your head slightly, "Strange, I’ve looked everywhere in this house and haven’t found the other one."

"Where, where could it have gone?"

"I don’t know," you said, scratching your head with some headache, "logically, it couldn’t leave this house unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Little Jian took it out with him."

"What!?"

"Impossible! How could Little Jian take that thing outside?" Mrs. Liu’s face turned pale as she heard this, "Master, could that thing have followed him out on its own? Could my son be in danger?"

"No, Ghost Man Tong wouldn’t leave the house for no reason; only a host can take them out, and moreover, the host must use certain methods to invite them beforehand,"

After thinking, you said to Liu Chao, "Mr. Liu, take me to the place where you enshrine the Ghost Man Tong first."

"Sure, follow me,"

Liu Chao’s address to you had changed considerably, obviously entrusting his family’s well-being completely to you now.

You followed Liu Chao down into the basement. When he opened the door, you clearly felt that the temperature below was much colder than above.

Liu Chao had deliberately set up a shrine in the basement dedicated to the Ghost Man Tong.

The two Ghost Man Tong were not the same size; the one on the left was gilded and looked like a cute little brat, similar in shape to the figure on Mrs. Liu’s shoulder.

But the one on the right made you frown as soon as you saw it.

This Ghost Man Tong had a malevolent look; unlike the one on the left, which was gilded and emanated a faint scent of Buddhism, this one was altogether different. It depicted a child about three years old, squatting there, eyes wide open, staring at you with a smile that was chilling to behold.

Just looking at its appearance made you uncomfortable, let alone its actual body.

You took out the Ghost Man Tong statue on the right, placed eight Cinnabar Talismans around it, made a few Hand Seals, and then began to chant an Incantation silently.

Under Liu Chao’s gaze, the eight Cinnabar Talismans spontaneously combusted, and the resulting ash slowly converged above the head of the Ghost Man Tong, eventually forming a strange Copy.

"Master, what... what does this mean?"
