My expression changed dramatically!
Have you ever killed anyone?
Or even a chicken?
How is that possible?
For a person to commit five thousand crimes, they become a ghost in the five realms—it's an absolute unbreakable law!
There will never be a good person killed and transformed into a ghost in the five realms through grievance, especially an ordinary person whose blood grievances can only go as far as ferocious ghosts.
In a flash of thought, I coldly regarded Old Man Zhou.
His eyes, brimming with blood, did not seem like those of a liar.
If an ordinary person can deceive others to this extent, he is truly terrifying.
What's the problem? What's wrong?
I suddenly remembered some details.
I suddenly remembered some details. After the dog, which was killed in mourning, was subdued, it turned into pieces of meat, and the fat on the meat seemed almost like a person... And after the ghost from the five realms, also known as Xiao Qiu in Old Man Zhou's words, took shape, half of its body was white bone...
Connecting to what Old Man Zhou said, the dog was eating and tearing his body alive...
Is this true?
"Old Man Zhou, be clear about the whole story. That ghost, let's call her Xiao Qiu, can't have become such a fierce evil spirit without doing any evil. Lüying's face was tense, her doubts surfacing again as she looked deeply at Old Man Zhou: 'We don't want to harm the innocent, and we are certainly not evil people. But if you can't provide any real evidence, we will have to act justly on behalf of heaven.' "
Old Man Zhou suddenly experienced a violent rise and fall of his chest, staring intently at Lüying, then at me.
Meanwhile, Lüying and I exchanged a look.
I slightly suppressed the coldness in my heart and did not speak to interrupt Zhou Lao Han further.
If Old Man Zhou could really say something, it would undoubtedly break our conventional understanding of Five Hell Spirits.
It might seem useless at first, but it would actually add to one's knowledge and experiences.
With more experiences and combined with strength, one can build up a foundation.
Take Wu Zhongkuan, for example, he has a deep foundation, and Ma Sanqi is no exception.
In the next moment, Old Man Zhou closed his eyes. His body suddenly hunched down, making him appear much older and worn out.
A sense of sorrow, resentment, and agony appeared on his face, and even a few tears began to leak from his eyes, gradually making people feel oppressed.
Although it's a person, Old Man Zhou's emotional fluctuations are too severe...
If he died, he might become an emotion ghost?
"Xiao Qiu is my daughter," Old Man Zhou said with a bitter smile.
I looked at Lüying, and the two of us didn't interrupt Zhou Lao Han further.
"She passed away in her early years, and I found her a stepmother who could manage and take care of her at home."
"However, the village was always full of gossip, saying that woman was promiscuous and would get drunk and keep people overnight. I never believed it because Xiao Qiu said it didn't happen."
"When Xiao Qiu was about to go to college and live far away, I brought my wife to live with me and we worked on the construction site together. She could cook for us and earn an extra salary."
"I thought that since she was living with me, there wouldn't be much to gossip about. But, amazingly, she actually had a relationship with the contractor and not only that, but also didn't give me my wages."
"I didn't know about this until later, and my wife made up excuses saying I couldn't make money and would constantly argue with me. She even told Xiao Qiu about it, who came to the construction site to persuade us to live a better life."
"I had already given up and thought about getting divorced. Xiao Qiu was also growing up, and it's not proper for a half-family. But then, the contractor came to persuade us too, and that woman stopped arguing. Damn it, I really thought he was a good person, but he was a wolf!"
"That night, he invited our whole family to dinner and we had a lot of wine. He even said that it's hard for college students to find jobs, and that when Xiao Qiu did her internship, she could come here to be an accountant, in charge of bookkeeping or cash handling."
"I really regret it. If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't have hurt Xiao Qiu!"
"Xiao Qiu was pure and thought the job here was good, with a good salary, close to family. But it was a wolf! And the woman in my home was an even bigger evil!"
"I only found out much later that they had harmed Xiao Qiu after she started working and had recorded it. They even threatened her, saying that if she dared to tell anyone, they would release the video, making it impossible for my daughter and me to survive. They even planned to bury me alive in cement, and no one would know."
"Xiao Qiu was threatened like that for a long time, and even later, that contractor started taking Xiao Qiu to various social events. Xiao Qiu gradually started to put on makeup, and I didn't understand at the time. I scolded her, telling her never to be seduced by vanity. Though those big bosses are rich, the bosses don't have hearts! Never be deceived!"
"Xiao Qiu didn't listen to me, and even once I tried to hit her..."
"And the contractor took advantage of Xiao Qiu to seal several business deals."
"But not long after, the business deals backfired. Some of the business owners fell ill—very seriously, and it was contagious. Their wives came to our home and beat Xiao Qiu until she had black eyes and a swollen nose."
"Xiao Qiu also got sick... She didn't know who had infected her, but she cried every day."
"I want to call the police, I want to kill those two dogs!"
"But there was no evidence, and no one helped me, so I was detained for seven days."
"When I came out, Xiao Qiu was gone..."
"I often went looking for that pair of dogs and sluts, but they wouldn't see me and denied ever having seen Xiao Qiu."
"Xiao Qiu disappeared..."
"After a long time, I heard that someone had seen Xiao Qiu at a barbershop in the city for five hundred yuan."
At this, Old Man Zhou gritted his teeth and made a soft creaking sound.
His eyes became even redder, and blood began to seep from the corners of his eyes.
Recalling these events, it felt like knives were being driven into his heart.
"I got into a fight with people from the village, and he took me there. I saw Xiao Qiu. She had changed, becoming more outgoing. Previously, she didn't speak much, but after seeing me, she cried and pulled me away."
"I slapped her in the face! I asked her why she had become like this, why she was willing to degrade herself!"
"She told me that she wanted to take revenge, that's why she listened to that woman's words, pretending to comply with the contractor's threats. Whatever they told her to do, she did."
"She had been looking for opportunities to kill the contractor!"
"At that moment, I was terrified. Xiao Qiu wanted to kill someone!"
"But that's not right, I wanted to kill them too. Our father and daughter were destroyed, utterly destroyed."
"However, Xiao Qiu had regained the contractor's trust. The contractor often abused and beat her, saying she was worthless and sick, making him have nowhere to vent his anger."
"That night, the contractor said he had bought something very safe, and told Xiao Qiu to go over. Xiao Qiu said that the opportunity had come!"
"She had hidden a very sharp knife on her body, which I had sharpened."
"We had made a deal. After killing him, we would find a place no one knew about, where Xiao Qiu could properly get treated and live a good life. If possible, we would forget everything and find a good family."
"I would still find a construction site and work hard. There is no mountain too high to climb in this world. After the revenge is taken, one cannot live in sorrow."
"But... that night..."
Old Man Zhou's voice trembled slightly, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
