Beichuan Si looked calm as he held Nishijou Kelian's small hand and squinted his eyes.
Perhaps his "attracting the strange" constitution was at work again, as he had struck the jackpot as soon as he arrived in Yashan City.
Nishijou Misaki and Nishijou Kelian were no longer considered living. Instead, they were wandering souls in the vicinity, and Beichuan Si had known this clearly from the start.
Originally, Beichuan Si intended to deal with the two directly, but the golden radiance emanating from Nishijou Kelian's body made him hesitate for a moment.
"But Nishijou Misaki is different," Beichuan Si thought impassively as he watched Nishijou Misaki, who was gradually losing her sanity.
Nishijou Misaki and Nishijou Kelian probably arrived a few days or a dozen days ago, and after being murdered, were abandoned nearby.
As newborn roaming spirits, Nishijou Misaki and Nishijou Kelian initially lacked awareness. Yet, as days passed by, the memories of the adult, Nishijou Misaki, began to recover, and she understood who had killed them...
Judging by Nishijou Misaki's persistent focus on "Nishijou Kelian's biological father," Beichuan Si could easily deduce that the person who killed them was actually Kelian's father.
It was likely that Nishijou Misaki was murdered when she demanded child support from him, right?
Who is more terrifying, the living or the vengeful spirits?
Beichuan Si's heart gained a slight understanding.
Because of her daughter, Nishijou Misaki had always suppressed her obsession, repressed her grudges, and wandered all around as a lost soul.
But Nishijou Misaki was eventually consumed by her obsession, and her grudges drove her to this place.
In fact, Beichuan Si had not led the way at all; it was all Nishijou Misaki leading in front.
"Mom..." Nishijou Kelian struggled and reached out her small hand, the light casting on her slightly ethereal and transparent face evoking deep sympathy.
However, Nishijou Misaki didn't care about Nishijou Kelian behind her and drifted directly into one of the rented apartments without looking back.
"..." Beichuan Si.
Nishijou Misaki, who was nearing full vengeful spirit transformation, would not care about anything else, not even her daughter's call, which couldn't make her turn back.
"Mom!!!" Nishijou Kelian's little face became anxious, her small mouth puffed out; she started to bite Beichuan Si's hand back, trying to break free and follow her mother in.
But Beichuan Si did not let go, just patted Nishijou Kelian's little head.
"It is no longer your mother. Its nature has changed."
"You're lying! Mom will always be Mom!"
Big tears flowed down, and Nishijou Kelian's babyish voice seemed lonely and helpless in the winter night.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Let go! Let go!"
Beichuan Si never let go.
Because some things were indeed unsuitable for a little girl to see, even if the girl had already become a spiritual body.
....
No one knew how long had passed; along with a man's scream and constant tearing sounds from the apartment, Nishijou Kelian's voice finally stopped.
Afterward, two or three minutes later, the tenants of the rented apartments screamed in terror, apparently having discovered something.
But Nishijou Kelian didn't care about those; she just dazedly watched Nishijou Misaki swoop out of the apartment, her small body trembling.
Today, Nishijou Misaki was still holding Kelian's thick big hand with a male head full of a terrified expression.
Hatred.
Hatred reaching the heavens.
Why did this man kill her?
Why didn't he spare his daughter?
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why... ?!!!
...
"That... Kelian's tuition fees really aren't enough; no matter what, I can't put it together. Yu-tai, you haven't given money for three months, this time, you should..."
Nishijou Misaki bowed humbly, stammering to her ex-husband, who was smoking and drinking in front of her.
"Making money is not easy now! Do you think the money I've sent all along wasn't a big sum? You two parasites!"
"Without you two, I don't know how much better my life would be now! I wouldn't be living in a place like this!"
"But, but..."
"No buts! Get lost, both of you!"
"Wait! We...!"
Bang!!!!
On the other side, Nishijou Kelian sat obediently, wide-eyed, dumbfounded, watching all this happen.
Blood spurted from her mother's head as she collapsed protectively in front of her.
"Run... run away..."
In the moment before she fell, Nishijou Misaki's broken syllables sounded out.
But in the unfocused pupils, the scene was reflected of little Nishijou Kelian also being toppled by their father.
The things that should have been enjoyed were never enjoyed...
When motherly love transforms into the most ultimate hatred, this is probably what it's like.
Beichuan Si pulled Nishijou Kelian to his back.
His foot slammed forward suddenly.
Bang!!!!
The hard ground made a crisp sound as Beichuan Si pushed his palm forward, assuming a martial stance.
Baji Fist starting posture.
"Come," Beichuan Si's voice was icily cold to the extreme. The instant the death aura burst out, it attracted more attention from Nishijou Misaki, who was mostly vengeful spirit now.
Her scarlet eyes bulged, her whole body twisted inexplicably, her nails stained with crimson blood grew rapidly, her face pale as paper as she charged towards Beichuan Si with a rumbling sound.
Seeing that her eyes were filled only with immense hatred towards the living, Beichuan Si felt much more at ease.
With a slight movement of his foot, instead of retreating, he advanced!
Beichuan Si did not hesitate at all, nor did he need to.
In the instant they approached each other, Beichuan Si made a lateral step, then stood firm, with his fingers swirling with death aura.
Shifting his weight forward to his arm, he transferred the force through his waist to the back of his right fist, stamping heavily with the dark death aura onto her chest.
Bang!!!!
Beichuan Si felt as if he had pierced through something...
No… it should be said that Nishijou Misaki herself offered it...
Nishijou Misaki's ethereal vengeful spirit body became even more tenuous.
Her eyes, once filled with hatred, regained a trace of clarity. She let out a few clear coughs, black, foul-smelling liquid seeping out.
Her hatred even manifested into something tangible.
This also revealed how much Nishijou Misaki loved Nishijou Kelian.
A father's love is as solid as a mountain, whereas a mother's love is as deep as the sea.
The love of parents for their child always expects no return.
Motherly love, fatherly love, both are the same.
Beichuan Si withdrew his stance, just silently gazing at Nishijou Misaki falling forward, coming to Nishijou Kelian's side.
"Mom..." Nishijou Kelian's small body twitched, crying out.
"Kelian..." Nishijou Misaki wore a gentle smile on her face, her trembling hand softly caressing Nishijou Kelian's smooth forehead.
Her body gradually grew more ethereal.
There wasn't much time left.
