They were clearly terrified of Wang Baole. That was why they had only appeared now. Four of them were crying fearfully. Then, upon remembering that the awful, nasty man before them disliked the sound of weeping, they immediately slapped their mouths shut with their hands.
Only one of them, despite being equally frightened, gathered his courage and drifted forward. He stood before Wang Baole, then fell to his knees and kowtowed to Wang Baole. Then, he pulled out a pill bottle that exuded an air of decomposition, but was still relatively well-preserved, and placed it before Wang Baole. He kowtowed again. An indistinct voice drifted out from within his spirit form.
"Please… return our mother… to us…"
Wang Baole was shocked. He stared at the young spirit, then looked at the children behind it, trembling and afraid to cry out. He grabbed the pill bottle and glanced at it. He opened it, took a look inside, and was momentarily stunned.
