Chapter 123: Born to Catch Ghosts
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Elmer did not expect Amelia to have talent and divine power. With just a handful of strength, she could throw an evil ghost out of the host’s body… Let’s put it this way, even he would have to spend some effort to separate the possessed evil ghost from the host. However, Amelia did it with violence. Although the red string also exerted a little strength, the red string was only an auxiliary effect. Amelia’s strength was not showcased against living people, but it was vividly displayed when catching ghosts, as if she was born to catch ghosts.
Elmer suppressed the shock in his heart and said to Amelia, “Mia, do you still remember the Ghost Capturing Talisman that Master taught you previously?”
Amelia nodded. “I remember. Although Master’s drawing is terrible, Mia remembers it well.”
Elmer’s lips twitched.
Amelia waved her fingers and clumsily drew the patterns of the Ghost Capturing Talisman. A yellow talisman appeared in the air, covering the fake ghost and pulling it into the Soul-Retrieving Gourd.
“No, I don’t want to go in!” The vain ghost struggled and shouted. “No! I don’t want to go in. Why did I end up like this despite working so hard? Why!”
Amelia did not care why. She used all her strength to pull the vain ghost into the Soul Retrieving Gourd. The yellow runes were like a huge net that covered the vain ghost, making her smaller and smaller.
Elmer smiled at the side and pointed at Amelia. “Mia, you have to ask her how she died next.” Not only did she have to collect ghosts, but she also had to ask and figure out the cause of death. This would be beneficial to Amelia’s future knowledge and experience.
Amelia obediently did as she was told. “Fat Auntie, how did you die?”
The vain ghost’s eyes were red. “You’re the fat one! Your entire family is fat!”
Amelia snorted. “You’re the fattest!”
The vain ghost: “…” She became manic and roared to break free. Seeing that she would not explain the cause of death for a while, Elmer flicked his fingers and put the The vain ghost into the Soul Retrieving Gourd.
The Soul-Retrieving Gourd swayed twice, and one could still vaguely hear the vain ghost’s angry roar. “Let me out! Let me out!”
Amelia patted the Soul-Retrieving Gourd. “Fat auntie, be quiet. Stay with the ugly auntie.” She shook the Soul-Retrieving Gourd happily. A fat auntie and an ugly auntie. Was her gourd almost full? She couldn’t wait to ask Elmer, “Master, is Mia’s gourd full?”
Elmer touched Amelia’s braid. “Master will let you take a look.” As he spoke, he grabbed one of Amelia’s fingers and pressed it on the Soul Receiving Gourd.
“Concentrate.”
Amelia focused. Suddenly, she seemed to see what was inside the Soul
Retrieval Gourd. The space in front of her was very large, like an empty room. The ugly auntie was lying inside, changing her posture from time to time. She was bored. The fat auntie who had just been put in was cursing with her hands on her hips. The fat auntie looked so fat just now, but after putting in the Soul Retrieval Gourd, she became so small that it was not even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.
Amelia’s mind dissipated, and she saw that the Soul Receiving Gourd had shrunk to a small size again. She could no longer see the space inside. She looked at Elmer with a long face. “Master, when will it be filled?”
Elmer smiled and glanced at William, who was not far away. “Ask your brother to calculate for you. Isn’t he very good at math?”
William: “…” No, he was not good at math at all!
Amelia’s eyes lit up. She squatted on the ground and drew a spatial map for William. “Brother, look. This is the gourd space. This is the fat auntie and the ugly auntie. The room is so big. The fat auntie is this big, and the ugly auntie is this big. How many ugly aunties and fat aunties do you need to fill the gourd space?
William was speechless. He didn’t want to calculate, but his instinct allowed him to hear the numbers calculate on their own. He took a branch and wrote.
Finally, he said, “It’ll probably take nineteen fat aunties and a hundred ugly aunties.”
Amelia nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. I understand.”
Elmer: “…” Didn’t he tell her this question long ago?
After William finished calculating, he threw the branch away and pretended that he had not calculated this question related to ghosts. He looked away and turned back after a while. He asked Amelia, “Why do you need to fill the gourd?”
Amelia hugged her knees and said indifferently, “Because Master said that if we don’t fill the gourd, Mia will be taken away.”
William was stunned.. “Taken away? Where?”
