Seeing that she had convinced Old Madam Yan, Song Yan turned to look at her and very solemnly spoke, " Grandma Yan if you don't mind can you bring me a mirror or maybe a large bowl of water?"
Though what Song Yan asked was a bit peculiar, Old Madam Yan still nodded and then went to the kitchen where she picked up the large water vat which she used to save water in the summer and filled it all up before carrying it back to the living room.
Song Yan took the heavy water vat from Old Madam Yan and then placed it on the table in front of her, after she placed it on the table, she caught hold of Xiao Mei's wrist and then looked at the clean water surface. Maybe it was because Song Yan was too serious which was why Old Madam Yan could not help but turn serious as well, soon an image started to form on the surface of the mirror as Song Yan felt herself getting sucked into the water.
As her consciousness faded Song Yan felt her eyes go heavy as her body spiralled out of control, and when she opened her eyes she was standing in the middle of a mourning hall with a large portrait of Qiao Mei sitting on a table which was adorned with white lilies and a stone tablet on the other side, incenses were burning in the incense holder next to the stone tablet which had Qiao Mei's name carved on it.
Song Yan did not pay attention to the people in the mourning hall instead she walked past the people who were standing in front of her, however no matter where she looked she did not see either Xiao Mei or the Chen sisters.
Her heart turned clammy before she summoned Fang Yanli and Zhou Yuan and sent them on a lookout, as she walked past the doors of the many rooms of the Chen house. Just as she was climbing on the second floor she heard Fang Yanli's voice who told her that Xiao Mei was walking towards the greenhouse in the back and Song Yan immediately turned around and headed towards the greenhouse.
She sped up and reached the greenhouse as the image flickered and fluttered, she saw Xiao Mei walking towards the greenhouse in a dazed manner. Her eyes were white and she seemed to be muttering something, upon reaching close to Xiao Mei, Song Yan realised that the words that Xiao Mei was uttering were sacrificial incantations when an offering is offered to a demon.
Xiao Mei stopped in front of the greenhouse and then raised her hand to push the door open before walking inside the greenhouse voluntarily.
Song Yan's expression changed as she followed after Xiao Mei wanting to investigate the situation inside the greenhouse, she had been to this greenhouse before and she did sense some bad vibes coming from this place last time but other than finding the parasitic demon bugs which Chen Chu Chu was raising she did not find anything back then.
But this time the greenhouse was completely different, as soon as she stepped inside the greenhouse, she saw a creature which was neither woman nor a man, with its body half of a spider, half of a woman and a man.
Xiao Mei on the other hand did not seem aware of the danger which was approaching her instead she continued to walk closer to the thing which was standing in front of her and as soon as she got close to that demonic thing, the thing scuttled closer to Xiao Mei and then Song Yan watched as the ruby shaped gem which was sitting at the centre of the demon opened.
Like parting the skin and dividing it into two parts, she saw many more demonic bugs fall from the divided skin as the thing shot a string of spider web and gripped Xiao Mei in its clutches before sucking it inside the hole of its body.
Xiao Mei did not even know what was happening until her body was halfway inside the thing, when she snapped out of the sleepy daze her body was bleeding and the thing had eaten half of her entire being.
Song Yan noticed the terrifying expression on the face of Xiao Mei's face as she was sucked inside the demonic being. In a few minutes, the thing had absorbed Xiao Mei completely before walking over to the layer of peeled skin which was on the ground.
With an incantation the spider demon turned small and then slipped inside the skin which was lying on the ground of the greenhouse floor and after a few moments Chen Chu Chu appeared looking even more glowing and beautiful than before, she even had a faint red blush on her cheeks which was very similar to Xiao Mei whose body was sucked in by Chen Chu Chu without leaving a single bone behind.
Song Yan's face turned darker than an inky cloud, she was wondering why the bodies were covered in thick bile when they were found after being eaten clean from the inside, but now she saw the inside of Chen Chu Chu's demonic body and from looks of it, she was cursed by something really strong for her body to continue deteriorating but not being able to die.
She had wondered how Chen Chu Chu was able to get more and more beautiful while looking like women who have vanished or died, no wonder she was raising so many young girls in the orphanage she was looking for this!
When she thought about how Chen Chu Chu had been going after Fu Shu Chang for a long time, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. No wonder she saw Chen Chu Chu in the hospital ward of Li Wenyi back then, this woman who was like a shapeshifter was actually aiming to replace her sister-in-law from the start!
At the same time, she had a vague guess that the red gem was the thing which was holding Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi's bodies intact despite being cursed!
