Chapter 703 Max Caught in the Crossfire
Upon hearing the young man’s grievances, Josh couldn’t help but feel terrified by such a girlfriend.
Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, “But even with those bracelets and necklaces… doesn’t she leave you
alone?”
Josh couldn’t believe it.
The young man, now wearing a necklace and bracelets, immediately sought answers from Lilly when he heard that
her necklace could protect lives.
It was clear that even with the necklace and bracelets, his terrifying girlfriend still managed to find him.
Since she would come looking for him whether he wore them or not, he decided it was better not to wear them at
all.
The young man broke down, saying, “Even if I wear them, she still comes… but if I don’t wear the necklace and
bracelets she gave me, her appearance is far from ordinary.”
Wearing the bracelets and necklace, his girlfriend would often appear suddenly, standing silently by his bed while he
slept, or quietly lying beside him when he was deeply asleep.
When he didn’t wear the bracelets and necklace, his girlfriend would show up with a furious expression, her eyes
glaring intensely, hysterically asking him why he wasn’t wearing the bracelet she had given him.
“Why aren’t you wearing the bracelet and necklace? Are you planning to find another woman? If you take off the
bracelet and necklace I gave you, I will surely take you away…”
These were the words his girlfriend had said.
“There was one time when I took off the bracelet and necklace. I was asleep, but somehow, in a daze, I walked out
of the door and unknowingly climbed to the rooftop… It was just as I was about to jump that a security guard
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshouted and startled me awake.”
“When I woke up, I found myself holding the necklace and bracelet in my hand, just one step away from jumping off
the building.”
The young man was so terrified that he didn’t go home for three whole days. He dared not take off the bracelet and
stayed with his friends, only able to sleep when someone was watching over him.
During those three days, he desperately searched for a practitioner and tried various methods, but it only further
enraged his girlfriend.
She disrupted his peace, scaring away his friends and rendering the practitioners he had found useless. Now he
couldn’t even sleep properly.
On this day, in a state of panic, he sought something to protect himself, and that’s when he heard Lilly say that the
bracelet could safeguard his life, prompting him to come running.
Josh and Lilly finally understood the young man’s desperation.
Lilly said, “She must be a resentful spirit… and not a particularly powerful one.”
Josh exclaimed in horror, “And you say this isn’t a powerful resentful spirit?”
The young man almost jumped off a building, and it’s still not considered powerful?
Lilly shook her head and explained, “If she were already a powerful resentful spirit, she would have succeeded in
taking a life during the first attempt, without giving others a chance to wake him up.”
The young man shook his head, saying, “That’s impossible… she must be powerful! Very powerful! Otherwise, why
would she frequently appear and scare me, almost taking me away?”
Josh was also puzzled. Lilly had mentioned that ordinary woeful ghosts could only be seen under specific
circumstances, relying on the right timing and conditions.
A more powerful resentful spirit could manifest itself abruptly, startling others and even having the ability to take
lives.
However, not all ghosts could choose to manifest themselves or make themselves visible at will.
Therefore, Josh believed that if the young man’s girlfriend could appear at any time, she must be quite powerful.
Lilly explained, “The reason she can appear at any time is precisely because of these bracelets and necklaces. She
has passed away, and these items, twisted with both her hair and the hair of a living person, act as a medium,
allowing her to appear freely.”
Without the necklace and bracelets, she wouldn’t be able to manifest herself so easily. It would take at least ten
days or more for her to appear again.
Josh had another question, “But if he throws away the bracelet and necklace, can’t she just pick them up?”
Lilly asked, “Big brother, after she picked them up that one time, have you never dared to throw them away
again?”
The young man nodded, “That’s right…”
Lilly looked at him sympathetically, “Actually, you can try throwing them away again. She definitely won’t be able to
pick them up.”
“Even if she manages to pick them up, it will take a month or two before she can do so. After she picks them up, if
you throw them again, she probably won’t be able to retrieve them for half a year.”
And even if she did, she would be so occupied with retrieving them that she wouldn’t have the energy to scare him
anymore.
The young man looked utterly bewildered.
What… what kind of operation was this?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCould things be manipulated like this?
Lilly continued, “If you don’t have the bracelets and necklace, she won’t be able to visit you so frequently. If she
doesn’t see you often, she won’t be able to scare you like this. If she can’t scare you, she won’t have the
opportunity to influence you…”
“Now you’re becoming more and more mentally exhausted, making it easier for her to get close to you, increasing
the chances of her taking you away.”
If this continues, when the young man’s spirit is completely depleted, it will be the perfect time for the female ghost
to succeed in taking his life.
That’s why they say, to rely on righteousness to protect yourself. There’s truth in those words!
The young man looked completely lost, “Then… can you help me get rid of her?”
He didn’t even dare to say “kill” for fear of his girlfriend hearing it.
Lilly nodded, “Sure, just wear this bracelet.”
Josh chimed in, “Yes, buy a bracelet and get a free home visit to exorcise ghosts!”
The onlookers were initially captivated by the story.
But when it came to this point and Lilly mentioned selling a bracelet, they were left speechless.
“Kid, don’t listen to her. She’s just trying to scare you into buying a bracelet. It’s so unethical!”
“If she’s as powerful as she claims, she should help you get rid of the female ghost without asking for payment.
She’s just trying to cheat you!”
“Yeah, practitioners are supposed to uphold justice, right? Helping people get rid of ghosts should be done
selflessly, not for money!”
“Don’t fall for their act of kindness. They might be working together, just pretending!”
The crowd looked disdainfully at Max.
Once again, Max found himself in a bewildered state.
No, even if they were fraudsters, even if they were swindlers.
They should be looking disdainfully at Lilly… um, no, looking disdainfully at Josh!
Why were they looking at him? He hadn’t said anything!
