Chapter Ch85 - [Extra: Wang Tiantian] He made a gurgle!

Ghost possession was an improbable event, and in reality, rarely happened.

Firstly, the ghost and the possessed person had to have similar ‘Eight Characters’ as determined by their time and date of birth. Secondly, the possessed person must coincidentally be in a negative state – whether from illness, injury, or extremely low spirits. Thirdly, the possessed person must have given the ghost an opportunity – for instance, eating ritual offerings made to the ghost, indicating that they were willing to fulfil the ghost’s wishes, or low-level rituals such as having summoned the ghost as a pen spirit. Lastly, the ghost and the possessed person must have personality similarities: a ghost whose natural predisposition is melancholy will find it difficult to possess someone naturally open and high-spirited. Fulfilment of all four criteria was as difficult as ascending to heaven, so in reality, ghost possession did not happen often.

Wang Zhuo called himself baby, baby, every day, so today he had really been possessed by a baby.

Lin Feiran explained the gist of ghost possession as recorded in his grandfather’s notebook, then said, “I think that the spirit of Wang Zhuo we saw just now had been forced out of his body when the infant possessed him.”

“So, in Wang Zhuo’s body now,” Gu Kaifeng asked, “there are two spirits?”

Lin Feiran: “I guess so…”

When he had stuffed Wang Zhuo’s spirit back in, he had not seen the infant spirit come out.

“When the infant’s spirit went in, Wang Zhuo’s spirit was squeezed out. But when Wang Zhuo’s spirit went in, the infant’s spirit wasn’t squeezed out.” Gu Kaifeng considered this. “How can this be?”

The little trickster touched his chin and tried to explain. “Maybe it’s because Wang Zhuo was completely unprepared. The infant in his body has a purpose and is defending itself, so when Wang Zhuo’s spirit returned, the infant’s ghost remained there and refused to leave.”

“Then did your grandfather have any tricks for sending the little monster away?”

“That sort of spell… the notebook didn’t have anything like that.” Lin Feiran hesitated before shaking his head. “Possession happens so rarely. Grandpa wrote about a time someone in his village was possessed by a weasel, but that wasn’t solved by magic.”

Gu Kaifeng asked curiously, “Then how was it resolved?”

Lin Feiran smiled. “Weasels like to eat chickens, so my grandpa came up with the idea of letting that person eat chicken for seven days. The weasel’s wishes were fulfilled and it left the person’s body. So I think Wang Zhuo’s problem might have to be solved like this too.”

Wang Zhuo started crying out loud in the dorm room again. The two briefly discussed how to convey this to He Hao, then pushed the door open and went in.

Lin Feiran: “……”

I seem to have seen an incredible sight.

On the bed, wearing only a pair of pajama pants, Wang Zhuo sat on He Hao’s thigh. His arms were hooked around He Hao’s neck and his nose was red from crying. Tears had gathered in his eyes, his eyelashes wet, as he pouted and whined “Hungry, wuuuu…”

He Hao’s expression was indescribable. He had one hand on Wang Zhuo’s knee and the other wrapped around Wang Zhuo’s back, rocking him stiffly as if comforting a child. When Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng came back, it was like he had seen his saving grace. He asked hurriedly, “What’s happening?”

Lin Feiran had some limits to what he could say to normal people, and had to beat around the bush. “I read a novel once that mentioned an infant’s spirit possessing a grown person. It seems similar to Wang Zhuo’s current situation.”
