Amelia said, “Brother, let’s go and catch a ghost!” With that, she pulled William and ran.

William: “…Wait, wait!” He didn’t want to go! He didn’t want to see ghosts being caught! It was impossible in this life! However, Amelia was too strong, and William couldn’t break free at all. He could only be pulled along by Amelia.

The scorching sun was high in the sky at noon. Although the school’s grove was called a grove, it was not small at all. The shade of the trees covered the sky. Usually, many people liked to stay here and enjoy themselves to dissipate the heat. However, William felt that the grove, which was usually comfortable, had an inexplicable cold feeling today. Especially when he stepped into the grove, he saw Evelyn standing not far away with her head lowered. She was slightly bent at the waist and her hands were hanging straight down. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head and stared at them…

William felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and his entire body was about to split open. He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.

Amelia turned around. “Brother, are you afraid? Then Brother, you can go back first.”

William, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped. “Scared? What am I afraid of?!” Calm down. He had to calm down. There were no ghosts in this world. There was no need to be afraid.

Just as William was comforting himself, a scream suddenly came from somewhere. “Ah—!”

William instantly jumped up. “Ahhhh!”

Amelia was shocked. She grabbed William, who was about to turn around and run away, and quickly comforted him. “Brother, don’t be afraid. It’s Seven. Seven is singing…”

The parrot in the bag, Seven, said, “Ahhhh, ahhhh, West Lake Wine, March Heavens…” The high-pitched Seven behind could not sing, and it turned into an ear-piercing scream.

William was speechless.

At this moment, Evelyn walked over lightly. Her footsteps were weak, and she walked as if she was floating. “Brother William, you’re here too?” She grinned at William. William’s tears were about to fall from the corners of his eyes, but he forcefully held them back) turning them into goosebumps. The Evelyn in front of him was pale, but she forced a shy smile, making people shudder.

William felt like he was about to break down. “You…

Amelia stood in front of William and frowned. “If there’s anything, come at me. Don’t scare my brother.” Her face was fair and tender, but she had a serious expression. After saying that, she turned around and asked, “Master?

Where’s Master?”

Elmer floated over a step slower. “Coming.” He slowly floated over and ruffled

Amelia’s hair. “What are you shouting for?”

Amelia looked back in confusion. What was wrong with her master? When she was punished to stand outside, he said that he was bored and explored the school. He had just returned when class started, but then left again. However, now was not the time to think about this. She looked up and asked Elmer, “Master, what’s wrong with Evelyn?” She was very puzzled. According to what her master had taught her, the vain ghost should not have occupied Evelyn’s body yet, but now, Amelia felt that Evelyn had disappeared.

Elmer narrowed his eyes and said, “This is called a ghost substitution. Although there’s only one word between a ghost substitution and a ghost possession, the outcome is very different. A ghost possession is a ghost attaching to the host and affecting the host. A ghost substitution is a ghost trying to control the host, but it can’t completely occupy the host’s body.”

Amelia nodded repeatedly. “So now it’s a ghost substitution…”

William’s face turned pale. “What? What kind of substitute…”

Amelia followed Elmer’s explanation and explained to William again, “Brother, the ghost substitution is…” She pointed at Evelyn’s tiptoes and said, “IVs a ghost controlling the host. There’s a ghost behind Evelyn now. It’s lying on Evelyn’s body and its feet are on Evelyn’s feet. It’s walking in place of Evelyn…”

William: “! ! !” He was very afraid, but he couldn’t control his eyes. He saw that Evelyn was indeed standing on her toes, the back of her feet in a straight line. She was standing on her tiptoes in an action that ordinary people couldn’t do.

William: “…” He wanted to run again, but at this moment, Amelia said, “So when there are ghosts around us, don’t run, because humans can’t outrun ghosts. Moreover, when you run, your feet will be raised, and it’s easy for ghosts to take advantage of you.”

William was speechless. So what should he do? He felt like a little person was pounding the ground in his mind, screaming for help, help me!

Amelia’s face was serious as she continued to say to William, “So at this moment, let’s try our best not to let our feet leave the ground.. We can move, jump, or walk backward… Of course, the best way is to kill the ghost!”
