The head teacher couldn’t do anything to him.
He got a small brown wooden sign on the table in the dormitory with the name “Zhao Xin” written on it. Sometimes he would even go to the cafeteria to buy some raw eggs and put them in front of the sign.
When the roommates talked about it privately, they thought it was like a mini version of… a tombstone.
Zhao Heng’s behavior was as if he was enshrining this invisible sister ‘Zhao Xin’.
Sometimes he would even whisper a few words to the air around him as if no one else was around, as if he was talking to this sister.
They can’t see it, and it won’t affect their lives anyway.
If he didn’t do other things and attack other people, the roommates would not be able to live with him.
But sometimes when they take a shower, change clothes, or do other things in the dormitory, they feel like they are being watched for no reason.
The boy who sleep in the opposite bed of Zhao Heng got up one night, wanting to go to the bathroom.
When he was about to get out of bed in a daze, he opened the curtain and was frightened and yelled.
After frightening the others to wake up, the boy’s face turned pale, and he was sweating. The next day he told his other two roommates that he saw a woman in the dormitory last night.
The location was near Zhao Heng’s table, right opposite the small sign!
He insisted that he could never be mistaken, and also described the woman’s general appearance, saying that he did not dare to live in this dormitory anymore and was going to rent a house.
The other two roommates couldn’t bear it anymore. Together, the three of them went to the school and strongly demanded that Zhao Heng be replaced.
It was already the second semester of my junior year.
Mrs. Hao has received calls from the school several times and has taken Zhao Heng to the hospital for follow-up visits several times.
The doctor said that his mental and even psychological conditions were stable, and his depression had even eased, which logically shouldn’t be the case.
But he just had a very serious hallucination, imagining that his second personality came out of his body and became an independent individual accompanying him.
Even after taking medicine several times, there was no relief.
The head teacher tactfully said that no one in the class wanted to live with Zhao Heng and that his high-profile deeds would not have a good impact on the school.
Mrs. Hao had no choice but to suspend Zhao Heng’s studies.
After returning home, Zhao Heng’s physical and mental state became worse and worse, and he often had nightmares and insomnia.
Once, Mrs. Hao heard his murmurings and walked to his bedside, wanting to wipe her son’s sweat and cover him with a quilt.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her with a look that she would never forget and found creepy. He was completely different from the gentle and kind-hearted Zhao Xin.
Mrs. Hao was frightened, and that was when she finally determined that the changes in her son were abnormal.
It can no longer be explained by science.
Not long after, she sent a letter of help to the program team.
Mrs. Hao looked tired and said: “I came here just to know what she is, whether it is Xiao Heng’s personality or a ghost, and I don’t want to hold anyone accountable. If it is a ghost, I will pay someone to save it. If it is not a ghost, then I will send Xiao Heng to the hospital for medical treatment.”
“She has seriously affected my son’s life. She should not be allowed to continue to pester Xiao Heng.”
When asked about the method, He Mitu said: “He must first develop a sense of resistance before his body will reject the inhabiting of foreign souls. Otherwise, forcibly expelling it will also damage his body.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hao looked at her son expectantly.
Zhao Heng insisted: “I don’t believe it.”
“Even if Sister Xin is a ghost, she is also a good ghost. She has protected me so many times. Why should I listen to people like you whom I’ve only met for a few minutes?”
He Mitu smiled coldly, “That’s up to you, I can’t control this matter, please hire someone else!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left the waiting room.
Xun Yiqing walked in under such an awkward atmosphere in the waiting room.
Like the other mystic master before him, he also noticed something strange about Zhao Heng’s body.
Host Liu told him what the previous player He Mitu had seen, and asked: “Does Contestant Xun Yiqing think this is possible?”
“Of course it’s possible.” Xun Yiqing was a little surprised and said: “Whose idea was it to build the standing wooden plaque? Is it the second personality theory?”
Zhao Heng did not deny it.
“What I’m curious about is why you insisted that she was by your side in the first place. Is this also what that ‘personality’ said?”
Looking at the boy’s expression, Xun Yiqing suddenly understood and said: “It’s hard to judge based on these things alone because I probably know what that ‘personality’ wants to do.”
“It did not directly invade Zhao Heng’s body like ordinary ghosts at the beginning. Otherwise, Zhao Heng would have been devoured by her after so many years. It probably wanted to temporarily use Zhao Heng’s body as a springboard for residence. Become another thing that transcends humans and ghosts’ spirit.”
“Let me give you an example: Talking Spirit.”
Human beings were the pinnacle of the six realms of reincarnation, and the words they spoke were also powerful.
If rumors are spread too much, they will become the ‘truth’.
The famous “Wu Dalang” and “Pan Jinlian” were short and ugly in most people’s minds.
If words were gathered in nothingness, spirits that do not exist can be created out of thin air. Phenomenal-speaking spirits have appeared countless times like this.
Xun Yiqing guessed that the ‘personality’ made Zhao Heng confirm his existence over and over again, and even worship him, to the point where students and teachers in the entire school were mentioning the ‘person’ around him, just to take advantage of Zhao Heng’s reputation to make up ‘Zhao Xin’.
At that time it will no longer be a ghost, and it will no longer be bound by the underworld.
When the spiritual body becomes more powerful, it can even appear physically in front of people and be seen by others. It won’t be afraid of sunlight, can feel temperature and smell, and can also possess inhuman abilities.
From this point of view, Xun Yiqing feels that this “personality” was very ambitious.
Xun Yiqing said: “You can tell whether it’s a human or a ghost by testing it.”
He took out a talisman from his arms, recited a spell, and raised it vigorously, and a cluster of inner flames with a light blue tongue of fire burst out of the talisman, shocking everyone present.
Xun Yiqing walked into Zhao Heng holding the almost burning talisman between his fingertips.
As soon as he got closer, Zhao Heng felt a burning sensation from the fire. His expression changed, and he couldn’t help but take a step back and exclaimed in surprise: “What are you doing?!”
“Does it feel hot?”
“Of course!”
The last bit of flame swallowed up the talisman and burned to ashes at Xun Yiqing’s fingertips. When his hand was burned by the fire, he looked calm, which made the audience in the live broadcast room exclaim in wonder.
Hearing Zhao Heng says it was hot, he sneered, “Needless to say, this means that the body has been invaded by ghosts. Can any of you touch my fingers?”
He stretched out his hand to let Mrs. Hao and Host Liu touch the fingertips that had just held the burning talisman fire. Both of them looked surprised, “It’s cold?!”
That’s right, Xun Yiqing’s fingertips didn’t feel hot at all. On the contrary, their body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people.
He explained that the talisman was a Taoist secret. There was a fire from the underworld in it. This kind of flame was not dangerous to the living people in the world, but it could burn ghosts into ashes!
Zhao Heng felt abnormally hot, so there must be something wrong with his body.
It was just that he had already merged with the ghost. If he was roasted with ghost fire, he would be seriously injured. What’s more, this kind of secret talisman was very precious, and Xun Yiqing only has a few of them.
He was in pain after just using one.
By now everyone was convinced that Zhao Xin was a ghost.
Seeing that Mrs. Hao was anxious, Xun Yiqing expressed his speculations and findings.
“I think that this ghost may not necessarily have any ill intentions towards Zhao Heng. After all, she lived well in the past 10 years. At first, what it wanted was not to take over this body, but to fabricate a spirit body… “
“I don’t know what condition it is in now. If it suddenly hurt Zhao Heng, it must have been stimulated by something. But even if it is harmless, it’s best not to let it stay in his body. Yin and Yang are not something good after all. “
These words eased Mrs. Hao’s anxiety.
She couldn’t help but think of the former ‘Zhao Xin’.
They even lived under the same roof and chatted peacefully.
When she woke up occasionally, she would sometimes see her covering her with a layer of clothes, silently helping her with housework, and soothing her shoulder pain.
At that time, Mrs. Hao thought to herself: How wonderful it would be if she had such a daughter.
Maybe she should find an opportunity to talk to Zhao Xin face-to-face.
