Chapter 196: Resurrecting a Soul from a Borrowed Corpse
Shao Hongtao still feels a lingering fear when he thinks of the scene that day.
His mother was old and had a sudden cerebral infarction. She was in a coma for half a month and had to rely on nutrient solution to keep her alive every day.
The hospital also issued a critical illness notice, and everyone knew that his mother was dying and was only one breath away.
Just a week ago at three in the morning, my mother passed away and the hospital issued a death certificate.
In accordance with custom, Shao Hongtao brought his mother's body back home and prepared for the funeral on the third day.
Because there were so many people paying their respects, Shao Hongtao was so busy that he stayed by his mother's coffin until the next night, exhausted.
In a daze, he felt a figure flying past his eyes, and then the candlelight in the mourning hall flickered violently.
Shao Hongtao's heart skipped a beat and he felt an inexplicable fear.
At this moment, the mother, who had been lying quietly in the coffin, suddenly sat up!
Shao Hongtao widened his eyes in horror, his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't make a sound.
The mother stared straight ahead and moved her hands stiffly.
Her face was as pale as paper and a low whimper came from her mouth.
Shao Hongtao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, rolling and crawling backwards.
At this time, the mother actually walked out of the coffin slowly, with unsteady steps, as if controlled by an invisible force.
Shao Hongtao's heartbeat quickened rapidly and cold sweat soaked his back. He wanted to run, but found that his legs were completely out of control.
The mother approached him step by step, mumbling something.
Shao Hongtao tried desperately to hear his mother's words, but he only heard a gust of eerie wind.
Suddenly, the mother stretched out her hands and grabbed Shao Hongtao's arm tightly.
Those hands were so cold that Shao Hongtao felt like his blood was freezing.
"Mom...Mom, don't scare me!" Shao Hongtao finally shouted, his voice full of fear and despair.
However, the mother did not react at all, but just held him tightly, refusing to let go...
Many people saw this scene at that time, and the timid ones fainted from fright, including Ou Le.
"What happened next?" Shen Sangning asked calmly.
"later..."
"Then I came to my senses and realized that this was my mother and there was nothing to be afraid of."
"I started trying to talk to her, but her eyes were blank. It seemed like she didn't understand..."
"It seems that he doesn't recognize my son either."
"I'm not sure whether my mother is alive or dead."
“So I pushed the first stove off on the third morning and blocked the news.”
"I have been observing my mother these past few days. She looks like... like a mental patient. She cries and makes a scene, and speaks incoherently."
"She spent most of the rest of the time sleeping."
"Occasionally he would suddenly stand up and walk around the house aimlessly. He wouldn't know how to avoid things and was curious about many things."
"She also doesn't know how to urinate or defecate, and can't use chopsticks to eat."
"I have consulted many doctors and experts in the past two days, but they are all helpless in this situation. They dare not jump to conclusions."
"There is no other way. I can only ask Director Ou Le for help. I also hope that Master Shen can take a look..."
Shen Sangning understood everything and smiled, "Mr. Shao, would it be convenient for you to take me to see your mother?"
"Of course." Shao Hongtao quickly stood up and led the way.
Shen Sangning walked to the door and turned to look at Ou Le: "Director Ou is not going?"
Ou Le smiled awkwardly but honestly: "I...I won't go. I'm scared."
He witnessed it all that day and was almost scared to death.
If he hadn't been friends with Shao Hongtao for many years, he wouldn't have come here today.
Shen Sangning curled her lips and said, "Director Ou, then don't look back or look out the window."
"If you hear any noise in the study later, don't make a sound."
"If someone calls your name, you must not answer. Remember?"
Ou Le stood up suddenly, goose bumps all over his body. His eyes were full of resentment and horror: "Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"
Shen Sangning raised her eyebrows: "I'm both naive and playful."
Ole: “………”
It turns out that no matter who you offend, you should never offend a woman, no matter how old she is.
Knowing that Shen Sangning was deliberately trying to scare him, he didn't dare stay in the study alone.
He caught up with him in a few quick steps.
"Hey, Sang Ning. I still feel safer with you. You will protect me, right? I'm old now, and my heart isn't very good."
Shen Sangning rolled her eyes: "When you complained about me, why did I feel that you were quite excited? You don't seem like an older person."
Ou Le closed his mouth and looked well-behaved.
When Shao Hongtao opened his mother's room, a gloomy aura hit him in the face.
Shen Sangning glanced at the person sleeping soundly on the bed and frowned slightly.
"Mr. Shao, she is no longer your mother."
"And from a medical point of view, she is not a human being either."
"In our metaphysics, she is half human and half ghost." Shen Sangning paused and said, "Let's go back to the study and talk."
Shao Hongtao frowned and nodded as if he understood.
Sitting back in the study, Shen Sangning asked, "Mr. Shao, to put it simply, your mother's body was resurrected. There is a dead baby living in your mother's body."
"So, her current behavior is not that of a psychopath as you said, but of a baby."
“I’m curious about everything, but I don’t understand anything.”
Shao Hongtao stared at Shen Sangning in astonishment, and asked suspiciously, "Master, where did the dead baby come from? How did it find my mother's body and come back to life?"
"People who came to pay their respects." Shen Sangning said simply and clearly, "Someone came to pay their respects knowing that the baby was stillborn, and then used evil magic to bring the body back to life."
"As for whether he is dead or alive, they don't care. First, they can destroy your Shao family's luck, and second, they can transfer the resentment of the dead baby to your Shao family."
"So, about this matter about your mother. Someone is deliberately targeting you!"
Shao Hongtao was furious, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
His originally deep and calm eyes now seemed to be burning with rage.
"Who is so bold as to play such a shady trick behind someone's back!" His voice was low and majestic, carrying a chilling deterrent force.
Shen Sangning curled her lips and said, "Mr. Shao, have you offended anyone in the business world recently?"
Shao Hongtao was stunned for a moment. Hostility in the business world? The first family that came to his mind was the Zhao family.
His brows were furrowed. If it was really the Zhao family's doing, this matter would be difficult to handle.
The Zhao family is one of the four major families in Beijing. Although it is the last-place player, it is not someone Shao Hongtao can compete with.
"Despicable!" Shao Hongtao cursed inwardly: "Master, I think I know who it is."
"Please help me send my mother away, and forget about this matter..."
As soon as the voice fell, Shao Hongtao took out a bank card that he had prepared long ago.
