Emily opened her mouth and choked. “That was a night four months ago. Not long after we moved in, I was taking a walk in the district. I saw the faces of the few people on the publicity board in the corner and crossed them with big red ink. I chatted with them and asked them about what happened back then. That night, 1 had a nightmare… I dreamed that the four evil people killed many old people and children with knives and even humiliated and killed women… They were too fierce. Boohoo… I had a psychological trauma and had nightmares every night, so I wanted to worship them and escape the sea of suffering…”
Everyone was stunned. What kind of ridiculous reason was this? The evil people had killed thirty innocent old people, women, and children, turning innocent people into vengeful spirits. Emily felt uneasy in her dreams. Shouldn’t she worship the people who were killed? Why did she worship the murderer?! They couldn’t figure it out!
The people closest to Emily kicked her. By now, anger had overcome reason. They could no longer restrain themselves.
Amelia frowned deeply.
Helena shook her head and said, “That’s definitely not the reason. She accepted the money on one hand, but other motives…” She thought for a moment and did not say anything in the end. Human nature was complicated. Who knew why Emily wanted to do this? Was it really just for money?
George took Amelia’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Amelia, on the other hand, looked unconvinced. As soon as George said that he was leaving, she grabbed George’s finger and left with him.
William quickly caught up and asked, “Dad, are we just going to let it go?” George grunted and asked, “What else do you think?” Someone would punish someone who had violated their moral bottom line. There were already a few police cars parked downstairs. The police were coming.
William was worried. “Will the police punish that stupid woman?”
George lowered his eyes and said firmly, “We will. Trust the police. All we can do is not do the same thing. We have to be vigilant. There are always some people in this world who have crossed the line. We don’t hurt the people around us, but we have to be vigilant.”
Amelia felt like she had completed something and said happily, “Eldest Uncle, I feel a little hungry!
William looked at Amelia helplessly. He admired her too much. She could
actually eat. He didn’t see Emily’s ending and felt indignant.
George drove Amelia and the other children home for dinner.
Upstairs, Emily’s eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness as she watched George leave without looking back. She did not know why Amelia did this. What she worshiped had nothing to do with her! Why did she specially find evidence to kill her? Yes, the person who asked her to worship the memorial tablet gave her money and promised her the status of a socialite in three years. He would give her a house, a higher status, and more money. From the beginning to the end, it was to be worthy of George because she really, really liked him! Moreover, she understood that the evil people those people spoke of only made those mistakes from her standpoint. Now that they were all dead, why could she not forgive them? They even used an array to suppress them and make them unable to reincarnate forever. It had been so many years. Even if they had any grudges, they should let it go, right?
Emily didn’t think that what she was offering was a big deal. She was already dead, so why were those people still calculative?
In the dark night, Emily was lying on the bed with a swollen face. She had been beaten up by the people in the neighborhood. Later, the police came to mediate and took a few people away. The old lady who had beaten her with a walking stick was not taken away. Later, the police left and the people in the neighborhood returned. This time, several grannies came and kept hitting her arm and head with a walking stick! Before they left, they even said that they would come again tomorrow!
Emily had felt a little guilty about the offerings, but now she felt that the people in the neighborhood had gone too far. She had already admitted her mistake and said that she would never offer the memorial tablets again. What else did these people want her to do?!
As she was thinking, the curtains suddenly banged. The wind outside was very strong. Emily was about to call her mother over to help her close the window when she suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to look at the window.. What she saw frightened her so much that her hair stood on end!
