C16 (2/2)

He said it was nothing important, so he just wanted you to help him clean up. Recently, he had been too tired. His waist and back were aching, so he didn't have the strength to move anymore.

I said yes, that's not a problem, leave it to me.

Samit said, don't be anxious, since you are already here, don't you want to take a look at the Holy Infant's charm?

I struggled with it for a moment, then decided to look.

Samit said that it was on the second floor.

He led me up the stairs to the second floor.

The layout of the rooms on the second floor of his house was the same as the one on the Second Uncle's House. They all belonged to this kind of ”Chinese apartment”, with one room after the other.

He led me to the door of the first room, which was closed and with a strange totem painted on it. It looked a little like the cut-paper window in our country, with a few words written beside it in Hindi.

I asked him what it was.

He said that this was a Spirit Suppressing Mirror to prevent the Holy Infant from running out. The words beside meant that all the White Infant in this room were White Infant.

Then he took out his mask and put it on me. He said the room was so stinky that he didn't wear a mask to prick his nose.

When he opened the door, there was a faint smell of formalin in the room, and I thought I could smell it in a mask, let alone remove it.

After entering the house, it was pitch black, and he couldn't even see his own fingers in front of him.

Samit spoke a sentence in Hindi, but I didn't understand it.

Then he turned on the lights in the house.

He had thought that the sudden appearance of the light would be very dazzling, but on the contrary, the light would be very dim. Under the pink light, the brightness would probably only be able to clearly see the other party's face.

Samit said that Holy Infant liked this kind of light. It was not dazzling, and had color and gentleness.

Turning my head, I saw a shrine behind me. There were five bottles, each containing a baby the size of a palm. They were all snow-white, without a single blemish.

Each of the five bottles had a piece of paper stuck to them.

In front of each bottle, there was a small stone tablet filled with words. I think this should be the birth record of the Holy Infant.

Then, I saw Samit clasp his hands together and bow towards the bottle, I followed his example and clasped them together.

After we finished worshiping him, I asked him why were there many different types of Holy Infant. What did this White Infant mean?

Samit said that the White Infant s are infants who have internal defects, such as kidney failure or congenital heart disease. After the baby is finished with the medicine, they would become completely white, and the main effect would be to protect their children's safety. Some parents who have lost their children, would choose to let us become the White Infant if their children died due to this congenital disease.

He said that the note on the bottle was also used to suppress spirits and to identify names. It was like having a Chinese zombie with a symbol on his forehead.

I laugh out loud. Sure, I didn't expect you to study our Chinese zombies.

Samit smiled, and did not say anymore, as he led me to the next room. He said that the Black Infant were placed here, and that it was the kind that would be used for your friends.
