She swallowed her saliva and looked at my expression before continuing, "Then, then I saw her entering your brother's body. He screamed twice and then went silent. I was really scared..."

I saw the woman's eyes turning red, like a startled rabbit, huddling herself in her arms.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she blinked her eyes and asked me, "Zhu Zi-ge, you're different from them. You're kind-hearted. Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

I didn't want to say much, but the way she looked at me, no man could resist. I sighed and briefly explained what had happened before.

In fact, including the woman in front of me, my brother had already married four wives. They either died or went missing.

The first sister-in-law died suddenly on their wedding night, and the second sister-in-law, for some reason my mother found out, was said to be destined for widowhood due to her astrological signs, so my brother beat her to death.

The third one, my sister-in-law, died from complications during childbirth, until this girl who was abducted appeared before us.

"To be heartless, I think my brother is the one bringing misfortune to others," I said bitterly.

"Zhu Zi-ge, I'm afraid that after your brother wakes up, he will...kill me too. These past few days, I've come to a realization. I won't run away anymore. I'll stay and live a good life, but not with your brother," the woman said.

The sudden words from the woman almost startled me. Looking at her beautiful face, I swallowed and stuttered, "But, my brother..."

The woman suddenly leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "Zhu Zi-ge, I understand your concerns. You're so capable. Just make a small move during tomorrow's ritual, and everything will be fine, right?"

Indeed, her words woke me up. For a long time, I had always been living under my brother's shadow, feeling like the most useless person in this family. As long as my brother died, then...But can I really bring myself to do it?

I was still somewhat hesitant, and the woman continued, "Zhu Zi-ge, I understand your worries. You're so capable. Just make a small move during tomorrow's ritual, and everything will be fine, right?"

This woman is really daring, I couldn't help but sigh.

But this suggestion was not bad, so I agreed to the woman. My mood couldn't help but become a little excited.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the evening of the next day. My brother's appearance became more and more terrifying, with a dark and bluish face, and his belly seemed like it would burst open at any moment. If you looked closely, you could even see something dark wriggling inside, as if it wanted to burst out from his abdomen.

Zhang Shu and his people had already set everything up early. All I could see was something like a formation, with many incomprehensible patterns drawn on it, and various miscellaneous items placed around.

Someone who knew about these things told me that it was a ghost-sending formation, meaning that it would use this method to send restless ghosts with unresolved grievances to the Buddhist hell, preventing them from continuing to cause trouble in the mortal realm.

When my mother saw that I had brought the woman over, she immediately expressed her lack of understanding and wanted to send the woman away.

I quickly stopped her and told her that I brought the woman today to take care of my brother and also to cut off her thoughts of running away. Only then did my mother agree.

I breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Zhang Shu waved at me from a distance, signaling for me to come over.

After I walked over, he told me, "Zhu Zi, I'm asking for your help this time because your aura is familiar to your sister-in-law. Also, I can see that your sister-in-law doesn't have any intentions to harm you. Tonight, just follow my instructions, but remember not to recklessly do anything bad."

Sister-in-law won't harm me. I don't know why, but I felt a sense of relief in my heart, which further solidified today's plan.

Zhang Shu patted my shoulder, threw away his cigarette, and gestured to me, saying, "Let's go in."
