Chapter 1453: Entangled
"but."

The middle-aged man sighed deeply.

"I was sleep paralyzed that night."

“I didn’t think too much about it at first.”

“I just thought it was an exception.”

"After all, there are many people who have experienced sleep paralysis."

"It's nothing to be surprised about."

“It’s a little scary though.”

"But, the next night, I was sleep paralyzed again."

“I even thought I heard some voices.”

"Every day since then, I have been awakened by sleep paralysis."

"After waking up, I was afraid to go back to sleep."

"Because every time I fall asleep, I get woken up by sleep paralysis."

"Yesterday, when I woke up, I thought I saw a will-o'-the-wisp?!"

The middle-aged man himself felt it was ridiculous and unbelievable, "Just like the special effects in a TV show."

"It's the kind of will-o'-the-wisp fire that appears in cemeteries."

The middle-aged man explained.

“I started to panic.”

"Do not."

The middle-aged man shook his head. “Actually, I’ve always been a little panicked.”

"I just told myself that it's okay."

"Isn't it just a case of sleep paralysis?"

"But, if sleep paralysis happens once, it's okay, but what about twice, three times, or even more times?"

"Besides, I also had hallucinations."

"That should be an illusion, right?"

"Otherwise, why would there be ghost lights appearing in front of my eyes?"

"I know I can't."

“It’s a serious problem.”

"I looked up a lot of information online, but I'm still a little confused."

"Then, I suddenly thought of what Xiaoyi said to me that day."

The man's voice paused, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"He said there was an aunt behind me."

".Although it's ridiculous, I can't help but wonder if I'm being haunted by something dirty?"

"Then I didn't think much about it and came to find Xiaoyi."

"But I'm embarrassed to tell Xiaoyi's parents about this."

"It's not a good thing."

"Besides, I came to ask a child to help with such a shameful thing."

The middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed.

"It's better not to let too many people know."

"I want to help Uncle Chen, too."

The child who had been quiet all this time spoke up, “But Auntie didn’t listen to me.”

"I don't quite understand what Auntie said."

The boy tilted his head, looking distressed, "I could hear it clearly last time."

"Now Auntie's voice sounds like the sound of a broken TV."

“It’s so hard to understand.”

"Xiao Yi recommended you to me."

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Xiao, "He said you can definitely help me."

"I'm probably crazy too."

The middle-aged man muttered in a low voice, "Looking to a child for help. And believing the child's words that the big brother is powerful."

Even so
He took a deep breath, "Student Xiao."

"Can you help me?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be driven crazy."

The lack of rest in the past few days has left him in a bad mood, and the inexplicable worry about his own condition has put him under a lot of pressure.

He was restless and had an increasing difficulty controlling his worsening temper.

His wife has noticed something wrong with him, and even his children say that their dad has been acting strangely these past few days.

He could evade the issue for a while, but if he continued like this, he didn't know how long he could keep it a secret from his family.

……

In fact, what made him most anxious was his confusion about his own situation.

He had absolutely no idea how to solve his problem.

Ever since the problem occurred, he has been at a loss and in a state of panic.

It’s not that hard work is useless, but that he doesn’t even know how to work hard.

He didn't even know if his problem was really because of what the kid said about there being a strange aunt behind him, or if... was there something wrong with him?
No matter how ridiculous the child's words seemed to him before, he now hopes that the child's words are correct.

It's not his fault.

What would he do if something went wrong with him?
He didn't even dare to think about the possibility. He was afraid.

……

However, since both children said they saw it...

But apart from these two children, no one, his wife, his children, his colleagues, and other people he met on the road, told him that they saw the woman behind him.

He himself didn't see it.

He just felt that his head was as big as an ox, and his temples were throbbing, making him feel anxious and confused.

……

The man reached out and pressed hard on his temple.

The faint light in his eyes made his complexion look not so bad.

He was waiting for the young man's answer.

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

The straightforward answer stunned the middle-aged man, "...Ah?"

Did he hear it wrong?
Although this was the answer he expected...

But when he really heard it, he was a little bit unconvinced.

too fast.

No hesitation at all.

It was as if the problems that were bothering him and troubling him were not as difficult as he thought.

"What did you say?"

he confirmed.

……

"I can help you with your current situation."

Xiao Xiao explained it more clearly.

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened.

Then, a complex expression of wanting to laugh but not believing it appeared on his face, "Really?"

"real."

Xiao Xiao's repeated affirmation finally made the middle-aged man smile slightly, "Really, it's true."

"Thank you, Xiao."

He was filled with gratitude.

"So... is there really someone behind me?"

He asked hesitantly.

He looked behind him countless times in the past few days, and he guaranteed that he really didn't see anyone.

Could it be... "Did I really encounter a ghost?"

"Am I entangled in something dirty?"

He looked a little dazed.

……

"You are being entangled."

“But not the dirty stuff.”

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He looked at the monster behind the middle-aged man, "Grave Ghost."

"What did he take from you?"

Xiao Xiao went straight to the point.

Tomb ghosts are actually very peaceful monsters.

Will not harm humans.

Generally speaking, they will not leave the cemetery.

There is only one exception.

That means someone has taken away the treasure it values.

Then, unless the other party returns the treasure it has taken away, it will continue to follow the other party until it gets its treasure back.

……

The situation is now obvious.

Since the tomb ghost followed Uncle Chen, it means that Uncle Chen took the tomb ghost's treasure.

The solution is even simpler.

Just return the treasure that Uncle Chen took away to the tomb ghost.

The tomb ghost will leave.

The temper of the tomb ghost can be said to be very good among monsters.

……

What did he take from you?
Does this "he" refer to myself?

The middle-aged man looked confused.

Then, he remembered that Xiaoyi had said something similar before.

He said he took his aunt's things.
