Chapter 703 Max Caught in the Crossfire


    Upon hearing the young man''s grievances, Josh couldn''t help but feel terrified by such a girlfriend.


    Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, "But even with those bracelets and nes... doesn''t


    she leave you alone?"


    Josh couldn''t believe it.


    The young man, now wearing a ne and bracelets, immediately sought answers from Lilly when


    he heard that her ne could protect lives.


    It was clear that even with the ne and bracelets, his terrifying girlfriend still managed to find him.


    Since she woulde looking for him whether he wore them or not, he decided it was better not to


    wear them at all.


    The young man broke down, saying, "Even if I wear them, she stilles... but if I don''t wear the


    ne and bracelets she gave me, her appearance is far from ordinary."


    Wearing the bracelets and ne, his girlfriend would often appear suddenly, standing silently by his


    bed while he slept, or quietly lying beside him when he was deeply asleep.


    When he didn''t wear the bracelets and ne, his girlfriend would show up with a furious expression,


    her eyes ring intensely, hysterically asking him why he wasn''t wearing the bracelet she had given


    him.


    "Why aren''t you wearing the bracelet and ne? Are you nning to find another woman? If you


    take off the bracelet and ne I gave you, I will surely take you away..."


    These were the words his girlfriend had said.


    "There was one time when I took off the bracelet and ne. I was asleep, but somehow, in a daze, I


    walked out of the door and unknowingly climbed to the rooftop... It was just as I was about to jump that


    a security guard shouted and startled me awake."


    "When I woke up, I found myself holding the ne and bracelet in my hand, just one step away


    from jumping off the building."


    The young man was so terrified that he didn''t go home for three whole days. He dared not take off the


    bracelet and stayed with his friends, only able to sleep when someone was watching over him.


    During those three days, he desperately searched for a practitioner and tried various methods, but it


    only further enraged his girlfriend.


    She disrupted his peace, scaring away his friends and rendering the practitioners he had found


    useless. Now he couldn''t even sleep properly.


    On this day, in a state of panic, he sought something to protect himself, and that''s when he heard Lilly


    say that the bracelet could safeguard his life, prompting him toe running.


    Josh and Lilly finally understood the young man''s desperation.


    Lilly said, "She must be a resentful spirit... and not a particrly powerful one."


    Josh eximed in horror, "And you say this isn''t a powerful resentful spirit?"


    The young man almost jumped off a building, and it''s still not considered powerful?


    Lilly shook her head and exined, "If she were already a powerful resentful spirit, she would have


    seeded in taking a life during the first attempt, without giving others a chance to wake him up."


    The young man shook his head, saying, "That''s impossible... she must be powerful! Very powerful!


    Otherwise, why would she frequently appear and scare me, almost taking me away?"


    Josh was also puzzled. Lilly had mentioned that ordinary woeful ghosts could only be seen under


    specific circumstances, relying on the right timing and conditions.


    A more powerful resentful spirit could manifest itself abruptly, startling others and even having the


    ability to take lives.


    However, not all ghosts could choose to manifest themselves or make themselves visible at will.


    Therefore, Josh believed that if the young man''s girlfriend could appear at any time, she must be quite

    powerful.


    Lilly exined, "The reason she can appear at any time is precisely because of these bracelets and


    nes. She has passed away, and these items, twisted with both her hair and the hair of a living


    person, act as a medium, allowing her to appear freely."


    Without the ne and bracelets, she wouldn''t be able to manifest herself so easily. It would take at


    least ten days or more for her to appear again.


    Josh had another question, "But if he throws away the bracelet and ne, can''t she just pick them


    up?"


    Lilly asked, "Big brother, after she picked them up that one time, have you never dared to throw them


    away again?"


    The young man nodded, "That''s right..."


    Lilly looked at him sympathetically, "Actually, you can try throwing them away again. She definitely


    won''t be able to pick them up."


    "Even if she manages to pick them up, it will take a month or two before she can do so. After she picks


    them up, if you throw them again, she probably won''t be able to retrieve them for half a year."


    And even if she did, she would be so upied with retrieving them that she wouldn''t have the energy


    to scare him anymore.


    The young man looked utterly bewildered.


    What... what kind of operation was this?


    Could things be manipted like this?


    Lilly continued, "If you don''t have the bracelets and ne, she won''t be able to visit you so


    frequently. If she doesn''t see you often, she won''t be able to scare you like this. If she can''t scare you,


    she won''t have the opportunity to influence you..."


    "Now you''re bing more and more mentally exhausted, making it easier for her to get close to you,


    increasing the chances of her taking you away."


    If this continues, when the young man''s spirit ispletely depleted, it will be the perfect time for the


    female ghost to seed in taking his life.


    That''s why they say, to rely on righteousness to protect yourself. There''s truth in those words!


    The young man lookedpletely lost, "Then... can you help me get rid of her?"


    He didn''t even dare to say "kill" for fear of his girlfriend hearing it.


    Lilly nodded, "Sure, just wear this bracelet."


    Josh chimed in, "Yes, buy a bracelet and get a free home visit to exorcise ghosts!"


    The onlookers were initially captivated by the story.


    But when it came to this point and Lilly mentioned selling a bracelet, they were left speechless.


    "Kid, don''t listen to her. She''s just trying to scare you into buying a bracelet. It''s so hical!"


    "If she''s as powerful as she ims, she should help you get rid of the female ghost without asking for


    payment. She''s just trying to cheat you!"


    "Yeah, practitioners are supposed to uphold justice, right? Helping people get rid of ghosts should be


    done selflessly, not for money!"


    "Don''t fall for their act of kindness. They might be working together, just pretending!"


    The crowd looked disdainfully at Max.


    Once again, Max found himself in a bewildered state.


    No, even if they were fraudsters, even if they were swindlers.


    They should be looking disdainfully at Lilly... um, no, looking disdainfully at Josh!


    Why were they looking at him? He hadn''t said anything!
