Chapter 324 - Approved by the Spectres (2/2)

She was also showed some kindness to the old lady, like she would never enter the old lady’s home, and whenever a Specter in the village tried to harm the old lady, she would consume them.

“She massacred the village, and all the sinners were killed. I can understand why she did that. In fact, I agreed with her actions, but what happened next unsettled me.” The old lady’s physical condition was weak. She needed to rest after speaking for some time. “A red door suddenly appeared at the family home that she stayed in, and only she can open the door. She planned to leave the village and let go of her resentment after massacring the village. She planned to enter the door before leaving the village, and that was when the problem started.

“When she exited the door, resentment consumed her, and her eyes were filled with venom; she had morphed into a different person. I don’t know what happened behind the door, but I could see that she was filled with hatred. She planned to trap the future generations of sinners here and force them to live their lives as monsters. Her mind became so twisted that those who looked normal became sinners in her eyes.”

There was deep pain in the old lady’s voice. “I have no power to stop her; the only thing I can do is use my own method to save some innocent children when she was in a rage. Like what you saw today, every year, she will awaken to enter the world behind the door. If the children were placed somewhere else, she will definitely kill them, so the only safe refuge for these innocent lives is my home. After surviving tonight, once she exits the door, she will go back to sleep.”

The old lady did not know what was behind the door; all she knew was that the ghost would enter the door every year around this time.

“Then why didn’t you escape, leave the village altogether?” Chen Ge asked.

“Those who drank the well water will never escape; she haunts us forever. That is the reason I only save newborns.”

“Forever? But around one and a half decades ago, some villagers managed to escape, and nothing happened to them.” Chen Ge was referring to Jiang Ling’s father and the rest.

“That was an accident. Around one and a half decades ago, she entered the door, but that night, she did not return. The villagers lived the whole month in fear. When they found out she still hadn’t returned, some thought she had died behind the door.

“At the time, two voices appeared within the village: one was to stay inside the mountain, and the other was to use this opportunity to escape. In the end, those with minor deformities chose to escape. On the third day of their escape, she returned.

“I begged her to let them go. I used two favors in exchange for twenty years of safety for them.”

The old lady started to cough violently. Chen Ge did not dare press her anymore; he had found out enough from the senior.

“Madam, please take a good rest. I’m not going to disturb you anymore. I’ll only take one of the babies; that is a promise I made with one of the villagers.” Chen Ge turned to find Ah Qing’s boy.

However, he only took several steps before the old lady spoke again. “Actually, there’s another reason why I called for you.”

“Is it related to the female ghost?” Chen Ge had found the baby with the coin around his neck. He looked so cute.

The old lady shook her head. She kept her gaze on Chen Ge’s face. “Did you discover that your body temperature is dropping?”
