Chapter 566: Goodbye Aji!


    After findingagood spot, I lit three joss sticks and stabbed them into the ground. I opened the jade bottle gourd to release Aji.


    As soon as he got out, he took in a few breaths of smoke from the joss sticks. I stood behind him andgently calledhim.


    WhenAji saw me, his eyes were bewildered. I softened my voiceand said,Aji, my son. Daddy misses you a lot!


    My skin crawled because of my voice. However, as it was for Aji, I had to endureit.


    When Aji heard the word Daddy his eyes turned blood-red. His face was full of hatred. He stared at me. A sob came from his throat as he dashed toward me.


    To not let him figure out that I wasnt his father, I didnt dodge his attack. He was quite strongand bitmy throat.


    The strong resentful energy made me fe heatin my throat. I had to vomit a mouthful of blood. However, I rxedafterward. He had a chance to kill me, but he had just wounded me.


    Aji, this little boy, had kept his grudge for over one thousand years. In the end, he didnt even want to kill his father


    My nose felt sore as I was about to cry. I pulled myself together as I remembered that I was ying the role of his father. I lifted my head to look at him.


    Ajis blood-red eyes showed his struggle as Ihadntcounterattackedor dodgedhim. He was confused. Hiseyesshedbetween dark and bright. The kid was movedthathis father didnt attack him. My heart ached further.


    I calmed down andwentto rub his head. He didnt avoid meand stoodstill. However, when my palm touched his head, he began totwisthis legs and didnt let me touch him. After a while, he stood still again. His eyes were empty. He lookedpuzzled. I squatted to level my eyes with his.After hugging his shoulders, I began to weep.


    Daddy was so wrong. Aji, my son, you should go and reincarnate. We will be father and son in the next life. Please let me make up everything youve missed. Although I was pretending to be his father, my tears for him were real.


    To this little boy, fatherly love was something that was always out of his reach. Aji was surprised. Then, blood tears slowly rolled from his eyes.


    While sobbing, he said something, but I didnt understand.At thismoment,my ws could beexposed. I was worried. If he knew I was tricking him, his resentful energy could grow higher.


    I was so flusteredand triedto find a solution. Then,Aji got on his knees. With a serious face, he gave me three kowtows. In each kowtow, he had pressed his head low. After that, I was thrilledto see thathe had used his blood to write the words Thank you on the ground.


    I was shockedand lookedat him. Aji slowly got up and pointed at my backpack. Then, he smiled.


    It turned out heknewI was pretending to be his father. It was as ifhe knew that his father would never say such things to him. Still, he had been willing toact along withme in this y!


    I suddenly got it. Aji not only had hatred in his heart, but he also didnt know how to express himself. I was only afraid of gettingdiscovered, forgettingthat none had beenwilling to y this father-son roley with him before!


    Wang Pings son was his friend. However, they had onlymunicated their miseries. If theyhad beenwith each other longer, their grudge and fixation would have be deeper. It would never disappearif it reached that point.


    Son, I hope youwillhave a happier life in your next life. I hope that your parentswilllove you and care about you, and that youwillhave many, many friends to y with. I couldnt hold my tears anymore. While talking, I pulled the fake beard off my face. Weeping silently, I nodded at him.


    The kid smiled at me. His smile was so innocent and bright, just like the timehe appeared on the TV and watched the policeman.


    Gradually, his bloodtearsand blood-red eyes faded. In the end, he hadcleartears. When a ghost cried, itmeant that Nirvana was upon them, and theyhad a chance to reincarnate. I felt happy for himandhurriedlyreadamantra to help him ascend.


    Ajis figure faded and slowly disappeared in front of me.


    After Ajiwasgone, I took a deep breath and was about to return to the hotel. But then, I saw a line of words on the floor: Ikilled them because Ididntwant their kids to experience what I had suffered.


    I sighed helplessly. In this ageof materialism, how many people were working for money?


    They wanted their family to have a better life, but they didnt know that they had neglected their family to do so. It was as ridiculous as harvesting the crops and ignoringthe fruits underneath!


    In our country, there were more and morechildrenwho had their family with them but didnt receive love or proper care.


    Aji and Wang Pings son were justone of many. What they had experienced could be happening to some childreninthe remote mountainselsewhere.


    Those kids were lonely and lost. They were hurt, but they had hopes and dreams. They only wanted their parents to care about them. They didnt want tobefriend loneliness!


    The next day, I reported the situation to Captain Liu, but I hid the fact that the boy was behind all ofthis. Although Captain Liu sympathized with what Aji had experienced, he was a policeman who couldnt stand when one took revengeuponsociety after getting hurt.


    However, as Aji was a ghost, he couldnt punish him. In the end, he decided tomarkthe cases as unsolved.


    As the incident was over, I bid farewell to Captain Liu and returned to the hotel to packmy belongings. I would take the afternoon flight home. However, when I went to the lobby, I heard a loudmotion. It seemed someone had diedon thethird floor.


    When Ireachedthe front desk to check out, the front desk clerk was whispering to the roomserviceworker. I told you, we cant let people stay in that room. Everybody who has slept therehasdied!Its happened afew times already. Our boss didnt believeit. Now, look what has happened.


    The room service person nodded. Yeah, thatsright. The deceaseds familyiscausingtrouble there. I wonder if theywiffect the hotels business.


    The front desk clerk pouted. I wish itwouldendsoon. Twice every three days, onepersondies. Im sureit''s paranormctivity. I dont want to get bad luck!


    The two were chatting excitedlyanddidntnoticemy presence. I coughed, which startled them and caused them to look at me. When they knew that I just wanted to check out, theylooked better. However, they didnt continue their topic.


    After I signed the check-out form, I pretendedto haveforgotten something in my room. I wentto the third floorandsaw a memorial service being held in front of a room.


    White candles were lit on both sides of a ck and white portrait. A few people were lining up and offering joss sticks. The hotels security guards and the deceaseds family members werequarreling. They weremaking noise. There were alsosome otherguestswho were staying in this hotel gathered at the scene.
