Chapter 638 Helping Yu Pan

Speaking of which Song Yan was really curious about how this rumour of the portrait fulfilling the wishes of people started to circulate throughout the entire company. How come the people who were supposed to be free of every superstition ended up getting involved with something so terrible? And she could not help but ask Yu Pan now that the latter knew the truth behind the portrait.

Yu Pan told everything that she knew to Song Yan. She told her that the people in the company did not believe that the portrait was anything miraculous but then one day, a woman dressed in white and red priest robes came and announced that the portrait was blessed by the heavens and that the person who made the portrait a child of the destiny because the portrait was the fruit of that destiny's child sweat and blood it held every bit of luck as the child of destiny did, she further told them that the portrait will fulfil everyone's desires as long as they asked for it with all their heart.

Of course, no one believed what the woman said, she was old with grey hair and was dressed in robes that were covered with patches even the old master who was with her was not great looking either but the two of them spoke for a lot of time and somehow managed to convince some people.

However, even then no one wanted to show themselves as a pedantic supernatural believer which was why they all pretended to act as if nothing was different then one day, one of the cleaning ladies, husband met with an accident and the situation was not looking good.

The cleaning lady went around praying and paying bills, and it was during that time that she prayed in front of that portrait as well thinking that even if she prayed in front of the portrait no harm will come her way, after all, she was only praying.

And miraculously, the cleaning lady's husband actually got better after she prayed in front of the portrait. After that it was like a whole new world opened in front of the company people, they all started to pray in front of the portrait.

Even though these people vanished in a month or two no one really paid any attention to it since they did not die almost immediately, who would have thought that this was what was happening behind them?

Yu Pan did not want to pray in front of the portrait either but she got pregnant by mistake. Both her boyfriend and she were drunk that night and ended up making a mistake in the heat, which was why she was in a hurry to get married, she did not want to be cursed by her mother for getting pregnant out of wedlock but who would have thought that her desire to get away from a few words of scolding would almost get her involved in a situation where she lost her life?

Song Yan could hear the lingering fear in Yu Pan's voice as the latter told her everything, she listened quietly before she told Yu Pan to not worry about anything and only think of what she needed to do now. She even told her that the reason the thing was after her so desperately was because she wanted the kid in Yu Pan's womb.

Young children were the best meal for evil beings.

" Miss Su, can I ask what is going to happen now? Will that thing in the portrait come after me again?" Yu Pan was very much scared about this and when she heard Song Yan say that the thing was after her as well as the kid in her belly she could not help but shudder in terror. If she knew that there hid something so terrible in the portrait she would have never prayed in front of it much less even look at it. Now it was impossible for her to live without looking over her shoulder.

If her child was such a temptation to that thing, she was worried that she will never get a moment of peace.

Song Yan thought about the woman about whom Yu Pan has told her and carefully pondered it over before she said, " Although that thing is hurt and it will take a long time for it to gain strength and come after you, I think there is a chance that the person behind it might realise that something is wrong with it and would come to finish the job. It will be better if you take a long break and hide where no one can find you for the time being."

Yu Pan was stunned, but then she immediately agreed to take a long leave. She did not want to leave her job after wasting so many savings on that bastard but now that she knew that her life was dependent on it, she could only agree.

Compared to her life nothing else was important, she could always come back after everything was over and start working again. Last night was enough for her to realise how terrible such things could be when provoked. Now that a master was telling her to hide then was she going to stay back and ask the thing to come and attack her again? She was not that foolish thank you!

" I will listen to what you say, sister Yan but what if that thing or its master comes looking for me?"

" That thing solely relies on the life force of young women, I don't think that once it realises that you are not in close vicinity it will come to chase after you and the same could be said for its master, after losing its vitality it will take at least three full moon nights for it to recover and I don't think it will want to waste its time on you when it can make others fall as its prey." Song Yan told Yu Pan causing a cease to the latter's worries.

After explaining everything Song Yan told Yu Pan to carry the talisman that she left with her in all cases and ask for more in case the old one was no longer useful.

" Thank you, sister Yan!"
