Vinay continued his routine for two more days. He was terrified, but he couldn't back down now. He was also frustrated because he couldn't feel Yakshini's presence; Aghori had instructed him to begin this ritual by dousing his entire body in beast blood.
He began the ritual once more, but this time was different. He could sense the presence of many spirits around him and hear spirits pleading with him to give up and return. He continued to chant the mantra, and after a while, he heard the sound of anklets, followed by the sound of a woman laughing.
Vinay caught a whiff of something enticing and was about to open his eyes when he remembered Aghori's warning, 'Don't open your eyes; she will test you many times.'
Vinay kept reciting mantras despite hearing a sweet voice telling him to follow her and dance with her. He bit his tongue so hard that it bled, but he never opened his eyes.
