The calculations would be more accurate using formulas!
“Josh, what are all these for?” Lilly asked.
Josh turned on his laptop and opened a website.
“I’ve created a website and published two dissertations, but I got mocked in the comments.”
Ever since his spirit sightings theory videos were posted on Twitter by the public, a lot of people watched them.
However, those people watched for the jokes and his cuteness.
He had to prove that his spirit sightings theory was true.
“Um…” Lilly was unsure.
“Okay. We’ll test it now,” Josh said.
He took the bowl and walked around.
“I’ve tested it here. Nothing’s happening because there are no spirits here, right?”
Josh said with a smile, “My detector is cool. It can detect spirits if there really is one. Lilly, please verify it.”
Lilly looked into the bowl, but there was nothing weird going on. His calculations were correct.
Lilly looked out through the window.
There was a headless female spirit holding her head in her arms, staring at Josh.
Josh noticed that the needle was rotating fast.
“Did I put the magnet backward?” He checked the magnet and was confused.
“Nope, it’s strange. Did something go wrong?”
How come there’s a reaction as soon as Lilly returns? Could it be that Lilly’s magnetic field is different from others?
Josh immediately brought the bowl towards Lilly, but the needle didn’t move anymore.
“Strange, is it broken?”
“Forget about it, Josh.”
Josh followed the direction of the needle and made it to the window.
He was immersed in the calculations and results in his mind. He completely forgot the original purpose of this iron bowl.
“No, it can’t be calculated. The last step is to verify… Oh, it stopped!”
The needle was pointing in one direction abnormally.
“This is…” Josh said while looking up. He was stunned.
Outside the window, a pair of feet quietly dangled in front of Josh.
He followed the bruised legs and looked upward.
A headless female spirit held her head in her arms. Her eyes turned and stared at them.
Her white dress appeared to be stained with blood, especially around her neck. There were irregular bloodstains running down. One could imagine the scene before she died.
The female spirit tried hard to smile.
With her head severed, her face was pale due to blood loss. Her smile looked creepy.
“Ahh! Crap!” Josh jumped and cursed.
The iron bowl fell to the floor with a loud “clank.”
Lilly had not regained her senses yet. Josh ran and hid behind her, gripping her neck.
“Cough… Josh… Loosen up…” Lilly stuck her tongue out. “I’m… Dying…”
Josh was too scared to let go. He just wanted to hide behind Lilly’s small shoulders.
Lilly had no choice. She couldn’t be strangled to death by Josh, right?
She mustered up her energy. “Bang!” Lilly threw Josh over her shoulder towards the window.
Josh felt the world spinning as he landed on the ground. Luckily, there were carpets around, so he didn’t hurt his head and went crazy.
When his mind cleared, he saw the headless female spirit hovering above him as he opened his eyes.
He almost went crazy. No, he almost fainted from the fall.
Josh reached out shakily. “Lilly, help me up.” His legs were weak.
Lilly quickly went to help Josh up. “Sorry,
Josh. I didn’t mean to do it.”
“It’s okay. Is this the time to say that?” Josh glanced sideways, too scared to turn his head.
“Since… Since when was she here?”
Lilly felt puzzled. How could Josh see the spirit again?
“She was outside when your iron bowl needle started spinning,” Lily replied.
She added, “Josh, if you’re so afraid of spirits, why did you desperately try to figure out how to see them again?”
“This isn’t a conflict…” Josh said.
Lilly thought of Zachary, who likes to play video games. She asked, “Is this what you call playing even when you’re terrible at it?”
Josh was speechless.
Let’s talk about the female spirit first. Why was Lilly so calm when the spirit was in front of her? Wasn’t she afraid?
Josh tried to steady his shaking legs and asked,
“What kind of spirit is she?”
Lilly shook her head. “I don’t know! Master hasn’t returned from the meeting yet. It’s been two days!”
Lilly looked at the female spirit and asked, “Aunty, what kind of spirit are you?”
The headless spirit didn’t answer, but her eyes moved. There was a strange sound coming from her throat too.
She floated towards Josh.
Josh was screaming internally. Don’t come near me! Ahh!
Lilly sensed the danger and stepped in front of Josh. “Please speak properly. Don’t hurt him.”
The female spirit screamed and lunged at Lilly viciously!
Lilly didn’t have much combat experience. Without Pablo by her side, she could only instinctively raise her hand to block the attack.
The red bracelet in her hand immediately emitted a glow, causing the female spirit to rebound.
Caught off guard, the female spirit dropped the head she was holding, and it rolled towards Josh’s feet.
