As Lilly listened to her brother’s explanation, she commented, “So it must be a woeful ghost… but why

did a head suddenly appear in the hospital?”

Despite her frequent visits to the hospital, she had never encountered a headless ghost there.

Blake responded, “It happened earlier in the morning. Last night, someone left a human head in a

plastic bag on the train, and it was discovered by the railway patrol in the morning.”

“It seems that the head somehow ended up on the train tracks. The case is still under investigation,

and there are no leads yet.”

The investigation team was working on the case, but with dozens of trains and tens of thousands of

people boarding it, it was challenging to determine who brought the body onto the train.

Josh asked in confusion, “Don’t they have security checks on trains?”

Blake replied, “That’s the strange part. None of the security checkpoints detected anyone bringing a

corpse onto the train.”

Josh was at a loss, saying, “So it’s a foreign ghost. That makes it even more strange… Foreign ghosts

shouldn’t be following me!”

“Now, how do I catch…”

He contemplated using a frying pan to hit it directly, as it had worked effectively at the hospital before. If

one strike did not do the trick, he could deliver a few more. At worst, he could close his eyes and

pretend he was sashing watermelons.

However, the head was now attached to Neo’s body, and if he were to strike it with a frying pan… there

would be a loud bang, and Neo would likely end up with a concussion.

Trying to grab it with bare hands was out of the question since he could not touch ghosts.

He was unsure of what to do.

Josh now fully understood why his uncle had insisted on becoming a practitioner instead of pursuing a

leadership role…

Lilly, understanding the situation, pulled out a stack of talismans.

“Josh, if you see that head again tomorrow, just stick one of these talismans on her while Neo isn’t

paying attention!”

“If she tries to run away, spread this one around.”

“If she suddenly goes berserk, use this one.”

“If she suddenly collapses, use this…”

Lilly had a vast collection of talismans, and Josh, being a top student with a remarkable memory, had

memorized them all.

Josh was perplexed, He was not daring enough for that!

Lilly pulled out another stack of talismans and said, “These are talismans for blessings and peace,

talismans for capturing ghosts, and talismans for warding off evil spirits…”

“I’m giving you this box, Josh.”

“Zachary, you can also have a box.”

“Daddy and Mr. Shaw are training, take more of them!!”

Lilly retrieved two large snakeskin bags from the jar of souls.

Anthony’s mouth twitched.

Blake looked at the talismans attached to the two snakeskin bags and could not help but think that they

were more than just talismans—they were like money!

No, they were even more valuable than money!

“Thank you, Lilly!” Blake expressed his gratitude with a beaming smile.

Anthony was silent.

Eventually, Lilly also stuffed a box into Anthony’s arms.

Realizing the immense number of talismans that could be stored in the jar of souls, Anthony could not

help but wonder how Lilly had managed to make so many of them and how much time it took her to do

so.

He sighed.

“Lilly, take care of yourself when you’re away from home,” Anthony advised.

Lilly nodded, “I will!”

After discussing family matters, Lilly set off on her journey with her father.

Bettany stood on the balcony and watched the car’s silhouette disappear into the night.

It was not until the car’s lights were no longer visible that she let out a sigh and went back into her

room.

“Lilly, stay safe out there… Grandma will be waiting for you to have dinner,” Bettany whispered to

herself with a touch of desolation in her voice, in the middle of the night.

Lilly arrived at the entrance of the underworld near the cliff and entered Gray Earth. From that moment

onward, time flowed differently, diverging into two directions—one in the underground realm and the

other in the human world.

In the human world, the sun slowly emerged from behind the mountains, casting an ink-like hue,

shrouded and concealed by layers of dark clouds.

The first thing Josh did was check the weather. It was still cloudy, which made him feel uneasy all of a

sudden.

He took out the stack of talismans Lilly gave him and placed them in his school bag.

Then, he put his trusty frying pan in there as well.

After some thought, he also brought a spirit compass—a downgraded version of the …

He stuffed his school bag with lots of things.

Seeing his brother coming out, Josh slyly added his textbooks to his brother’s bag.xo.com fast

Drake was left speechless.

Josh said to himself, trying to boost his spirits, “Today will be a monumental day for my journey to

becoming a practitioner!”

Drake wanted to hit him.

Why are you training to be a practitioner instead of being an immortal?

“Let’s go!” Josh said, despite his disdain for his younger brother’s foolish appearance, Drake still

helped him carry his books.

Full of determination, Josh went to school but immediately felt something was amiss. It was as if

someone was staring at him from behind.

He quickly turned his head, only to find Selen standing in the corner, head drooping, and eyes even

more vacant than the day before, but still staring intently at him.

Josh could not help but shudder in fear.

No, why were so many people staring at him?

In a moment of panic, Josh struck out.

The passing students were all taken aback.

What was happening? Why did he hit someone all of a sudden?

Josh gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve tolerated you for far too long! Wait for me! Meet me at the woods

outside the school at noon!”

If it was not for the rough start to his day at school, he would not have resorted to plastering her with

ghost talismans.

He could post them now, but he was not sure if the head would run away after being posted, and if it

did, he did not know how he would find it.

He was not as skilled as his sister.

Josh snorted and left.

Drake was utterly speechless. He knew exactly what his brother was thinking, even without looking.

Josh did not post a talisman on the spot. On the surface, it seemed like he was afraid that the ghost

with the head would run away and could not be found again.

But in reality, he was afraid that the ghost with the head would run away and then suddenly appear at

his bedside in the middle of the night…
