Chapter 403: Is this considered aiding and abetting the evil?
The already eerie house became even more gloomy after it appeared.
Hearing Si He's question, it replied in a low voice: "The Master is coming... They want to kill me... After I withdraw from my body... they will kill me completely..."
It still spoke word by word, intermittently, but judging from the sound, it should be fine. Its breath did not weaken, but instead carried a stronger sense of hostility and hatred.
Hongdou's complete death was within her expectations, and no one would suspect her.
The purpose of this remnant soul has been almost fully utilized, but she is not the kind of person who will abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose. "Do you want to leave the Guo family? Or stay somewhere else? I can take you out, but you are still too weak to seek revenge. You can wait until you are stronger."
"Take me out of the house...but I want to stay at the Guo family..."
When it said this, negative energy surged, and its hostility and hatred deepened, as if it had been hit hard today, triggering painful memories deep within it.
"Okay." Si He said, and then took out the talisman bag, took out the soul-stealing stone from it temporarily, and put it in another pocket for the time being. Then he said to it: "You go into the talisman bag first, and I will let you out later."
The room was filled with talismans and objects used to exorcise evil spirits. Although it could follow her out of the room, it would be harmed by the talismanic power around it, thus weakening its own energy. Although it would only last for a short while, it was best to avoid it if possible.
It seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon it slipped into the talisman bag like a gust of wind.
This small talisman bag only has the effect of suppressing and sealing evil things, but it will not harm them.
As for the Soul-Snatching Stone, she could put it in, but the damage to it would be much more serious than those talismans. Those were things used to refine evil things, so she naturally would not put them into the Soul-Snatching Stone.
Si He put away the talisman bag, jumped down, stepped onto the chair, and then flew out of the house. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water and very fast.
After leaving the house, she pasted the talisman paper she had torn off earlier back on the door, and then quickly jumped out of the yard.
Outside Qingyin Courtyard, there was also silence. Because of what happened in the afternoon, no one in the Guo family dared to approach the courtyard anymore, even though the wizard had performed a ritual and killed the evil spirit who had possessed them.
Because Bizhu and Bilian failed to take good care of the young lady, they were locked up in the woodshed as punishment after returning to the Guo family.
Now even the patrolling guards try to stay away from here, so the area is dark and quiet.
Si He quickly shuttled through the corridors and alleys in the dark. The Guo family's house was large, and she walked for a long time before she saw the light and the figures of patrolling guards.
Nowadays, there are talismans to drive away evil spirits pasted on many places in the Guo family. She dodged all the way and finally found a relatively hidden rockery and released the remaining soul in the talisman bag.
"It's relatively safe here. You can stay nearby. If there's any danger, you should hide here."
As she spoke, she placed a piece of suppressing talisman paper in a groove in the rockery, just like before. There was a dead tree under the talisman paper. Then she found a stone and pressed down the talisman paper, hiding it very well.
However, hiding here is not a long-term solution. If it rains and becomes humid one day, the talisman paper will lose its effectiveness when it comes into contact with water. In the future, even if she does not come to unseal it, it will be able to escape.
The rockery is located in a shady place, and is blocked by higher rockery, green trees and pavilions around it. Even the midday sun cannot reach here.
This is a good place to stay.
"Okay." It responded in a low voice. It had calmed down now, but it still restrained its cold and gloomy aura and curled up into a ball.
At this moment, footsteps and whispers were suddenly heard outside. Someone was walking towards this side.
Si He retreated a little into the rockery, concealed his body, listened attentively, and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Madame Sun, let's go quickly. This section of the garden is pitch black and I'm scared."
A maidservant, holding a lantern, huddled up, followed an old maid trembling with fear.
The woman called Nanny Sun looked a bit old, probably over fifty years old, and her expression was very serious. She was also holding a lantern to light the way. Due to her age, she walked slowly. She snorted coldly and said, "What are you afraid of? We have talismans given by the magician. No sneaky thing dares to come near us!"
Although she said this, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a hint of fear in her voice.
After all, during the day, they saw with their own eyes that the maid named Hongdou was possessed by an evil spirit and went crazy, and the sorcerer performed a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit. The scene was really a bit scary, so it was normal for them to feel fear at this moment.
Si He watched them passing by the rockery, and at this moment, something suddenly happened.
The remnant soul suddenly became extremely violent and full of negative energy. It immediately rushed out like the wind!
Si He was a little surprised. After it floated in front of the two people, it screamed angrily!
"Ah—die—you, deserve to die—"
When Nanny Sun and the maid heard the horrifying ghost cry and saw a black mist suddenly floating out in front of them, their pupils suddenly widened. They didn't even have time to scream before they fainted from fright and fell to the ground.
The remnant soul tried to attack them, but the two of them were carrying talismans. As soon as it got closer, it was frightened by the talisman's power and retreated, floating not far away. It was helpless and could only scream in anger, "Ho-ho--"
Fortunately, this place is relatively remote and no one else was alarmed.
Si He walked out of the rockery, glanced at the two people lying on the ground, and then whispered to the black mist not far away: "Be quiet."
After hearing her whispered rebuke, it stopped screaming and floated quietly not far away, but its anger remained. The eerie aura had not diminished at all and was difficult to restrain, which showed that it hated these two people.
Si He immediately took out two silver needles and inserted them into an acupuncture point on the two people on the ground. Then she searched their bodies and took out two talisman papers.
Seeing this, the remnant soul not far away immediately became restless and floated over.
Si He pointed at the old nanny and said to her, "Don't touch this for now."
As soon as she finished speaking, it immediately whooshed and crawled onto the maidservant beside her, eager to eat her soul.
The maid's body suddenly began to tremble. After a while, she opened her eyes, her expression was terrified and ferocious, but her body was fixed by the silver needles, and she could not move or scream.
However, the maid's soul showed signs of leaving her body.
Seeing this, Si He quickly pasted a sealing talisman on the maid's forehead, and then she calmed down a little.
After a long while, the maid's body stopped trembling, and only a ferocious look remained on her face.
It was obvious that the maid's soul had been eaten and her body was occupied by the remaining soul.
Si He's eyes darkened. Was she aiding and abetting the evil?
However, this thought flashed through my mind.
