“l know what to do with that!” Amelia said as she reached out and pushed the bed against the foot of the wall.

Alex reacted quickly. He placed his palm on the bed and pushed it away, pretending that he was the one who pushed the bed away.

Gyala was stunned and looked at Alex in surprise. This man… was too strong!

The female ghost at the side said, “This little girl is quite strong.”

Amelia only reacted when she heard the female ghost say that. She had accidentally exposed herself again…

Alex didn’t say anything. He opened the drawer halfway and closed it after a glance. He said, “Call the police.”

Gyala’s mind buzzed. She took a few steps back and fell onto the bed. “No… No way…” She said in horror, “That corpse is really in my closet?!” Amelia comforted her. “It’s okay, Sister Gyala. Isn’t it found now?”

Gyala: “…” Thank you. I wasn’t comforted.

Alex saw that Gyala couldn’t make a call anymore, so he took out his phone and made a call. In less than five minutes, a few people in plain clothes rushed over and the closet was opened again.

The so-called closet was actually a closet embedded in the wall. This was the real closet in front of them. When they opened it, it was about 1.56 meters! Gyala did not know that this closet that looked no different from a drawer was actually so deep! After all, her closet looked no different from an ordinary closet when she opened it!

After the drawer was pulled open, the stench of dead rats became even stronger. There were indeed some miscellaneous items on the closet. There was an empty cotton blanket bag, a black plastic bag, and a few old clothes. However, after prying open this layer of miscellaneous items, they saw a long object curled up under the cabinet. It was wrapped tightly in a black plastic bag, and they could tell at a glance that it was a human shape.

Gyala’s eyes rolled back in her head. Unable to withstand the stimulation anymore, she fainted! The police officer beside her quickly supported her and called the emergency number.

Amelia shook her head. “That’s why I said not to stay up late. Your immunity is much worse than others.’

Alex corrected her. “It’s the ability to withstand pressure.”

Amelia corrected herself. “Yes, yes! Her resistance to pressure is worse than others!”

Alex nodded and looked at the time. When he did, his heart tightened. It was past five! The journey back would take about an hour. Mrs. Walton usually woke up around six. Wouldn’t they be caught on the way back?

But on second thought, Alex wasn’t nervous anymore. Wasn’t there George?

Alex was relieved. He hugged Amelia unhurriedly and even had the time to watch the police surround the event location, take photos, and collect evidence…

The female ghost sat at the side with her hair hanging down. She watched bitterly as the busy crowd carried out the black plastic bag that wrapped her and cut it open… Her terrifying appearance before she died was immediately revealed, especially her face. She had been slashed and her flesh had been flipped out…

The medical examiner put on gloves and picked up the white object next to the corpse. He looked at it carefully and his expression changed. “It’s salt! The corpse has actually been marinated by a lot of salt!”

Everyone:

Alex asked Amelia in a low voice, “Did you get it out of her? What did the female ghost say?”

Amelia shook her head. “She doesn’t seem to remember anything.” She thought for a moment and told him everything Elmer had taught her. “Master said that people who die unexpectedly are in too much pain before they die, or they’re frightened. At the moment of death, they forget what happened when they were alive. She doesn’t know who she is or where she came from. She can only wander around the place of death and subconsciously follow the first person she sees after death. Then, she imitates everything about the other party and slowly replaces that person…” This was also why after some people killed, the deceased’s vengeful spirit would follow them. This was because the first person the deceased saw after turning into a ghost was the murderer. However, for some reason, the female ghost in front of her was indeed the first person she saw after turning into a ghost. She didn’t remember anything. She only subconsciously imitated and wanted to replace Gyala…

Alex looked at the female corpse in front of him. The entire body had been cut open from the middle. The internal organs had been dug out and marinated with salt. At least a sack of salt had been used, so that the corpse was covered in a layer of sticky white.

Amelia had never seen anything like it. She hugged Alex tightly and pressed her face against his neck.. “Daddy,” she whispered, “What are these?”
