I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1245: Waiting for Nightfall

The chubby woman thought for a moment and said: "I sold two things, one was my principles, and the other was friendship. I didn’t think they were that valuable and shouldn’t have too much to do with me, but after selling them, I found my personality had changed a lot. I became more and more indifferent to my friends, and even fell out with them over trivial matters. Now I don’t want to contact them or apologize to them."

Her expression showed great pain: "Although I clearly know I’m in the wrong, I just can’t change. Also, I’ve become increasingly scheming and deceitful in my actions, often hating myself for it."

You said solemnly: "Your family love and motherly affection must be the most expensive, right?"

The chubby woman nodded: "Yes, but I won’t sell those, they are the most precious things in my life, I wouldn’t sell them even if it means death!"

As if something occurred to you, you asked the chubby woman: "Did he give you a name card?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The chubby woman immediately turned and went into her bedroom, taking out a black card.

"He said, if I want to sell more of my personality, to find him, and if I introduce someone else to him, he would give me a commission. Although it felt like a pyramid scheme, I did get the money for real, so I held onto the card."

Taking the card from her hand, you dialed the number on it without hesitation, but the phone displayed that the other party was powered off.

"Oh, right, he said to call him at night, as he rests during the day and only starts working after sunset."

"After sunset?" You looked at the time, and it’s only a little past ten in the morning, still a while before sunset.

When you gave the card back to the chubby woman, she adamantly refused to take it: "Just take it away, I dare not keep it anymore."

You and Zong Wangyue exchanged glances and both smiled.

Zong Wangyue looked at you and asked: "Boss, why did their child turn into a monster like that? Will it happen again?"

Zong Wangyue voiced the concerns of the two women.

After pondering for a moment, you said to the three of them: "Actually, I’m not sure about the detailed process of him turning into a monster, but one thing is clear, it’s the desire to play games."

"The desire to play games?" The three of them showed surprised expressions.

"All of us grew up from children, so it should be clear that when we were young, we had no resistance to those novel and fun things, especially boys. At your age, the boys must have been playing with things like the Little Overlord or arcade machines, those first-generation video games, and they played them obsessively. Furthermore, with family tragedies occurring, part of his heart must have felt a loss, which led him to immerse himself in games and unable to extricate himself."

The chubby woman and the lady in the business suit looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"I think, as long as you guide him properly, those malevolent spirits won’t come knocking again."

"Thank you so much." The chubby woman bowed repeatedly.

The lady in the business suit also showed a smiling face: "I didn’t expect reporters from your agency to be so remarkable,"

You smiled and turned to leave, but at that moment, the door opened, and a man reeking of alcohol and disheveled stumbled in from amidst a group of reporters, kicking and shoving them out as he shouted: "I’ve already said, there are no monsters in my house, none! None!"

Afterward, he slammed the door shut.

"Burp!" Turning around, he let out a belch and with a face as red as a monkey’s bottom, he grinned at the lady in the business suit, "Auntie’s here, sit, sit."

As he spoke, he went to grab a chair but tripped over himself, "thud" crashing onto the floor.

The two women exchanged a look and sighed deeply.

Zong Wangyue also sighed and said to you: "Boss, let’s do a good deed through to the end, help them out." freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Hmm."

Without Zong Wangyue’s suggestion, you already knew what to do.

You had just managed to save his son, and his wife had already sold her personality, probably irretrievable, all that remained was to cure the man, and then the family could still be saved. Otherwise, who knows whether he might turn into a monster after some time.

You walked up to him, extended an index finger, and gently touched his forehead.

Immediately, numerous fragments of memories flooded into your mind, and just like opening a folder on a computer, you deleted all information related to his ex-wife from the man’s memory and implanted a whole new memory that could not be altered by anyone. In other words, even if someone told him the name of his ex-wife and that his current wife was remarried, he would not believe it, not even if the facts were laid out in front of him.

This method was your own creation, somewhat malevolent, but very effective for brainwashing, similar to some religions.

"Done, when he wakes up, you’ll be his one and only wife," you said to the chubby woman.

"What?" The chubby woman was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding the meaning of your words.

Zong Wangyue explained: "What my boss means is, your husband’s been brainwashed, from now on you’re his wedded wife."

"Really!?"

The woman was overjoyed, not expecting such a turn of events.

"You’ll see when he wakes up." You smiled and then turned towards the door, "I wish you happiness."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Although you couldn’t see their expressions, through their voices, you could truly feel their heartfelt gratitude.

After leaving the neighborhood, in the car, you asked Zong Wangyue: "Zongzi, how many cases like this have there been in Yuhang City?"

Zong Wangyue thought for a moment and said: "There should be around a dozen or so, we’ve contained those monsters."

"Do these monsters attack people?"

"Yeah, Glasses told me that these monsters do attack people, they also devour people’s desires. In the beginning, when they hadn’t shown themselves, they acted just like ordinary people, but later on, when the desire reaches a certain level, they would reveal themselves. Glasses said it seems like they feed on desires and various negative emotions, specifically targeting people’s desires and negative emotions."

"How are those monsters doing now?" you asked, frowning.

"Glasses seems to have set up a lab specifically. The monsters are all locked up in his lab."

"Hmm, if there’s time tomorrow, let’s take a peek at Glasses’ lab and see if he’s figured out a way to deal with them."

Zong Wangyue nodded and then asked: "Boss, where should we head now?"

You clasped your hands behind your head, reclining in the car seat in a relatively comfortable position, looking up at the roof.

"Wait for nightfall."

Zong Wangyue was startled: "Huh? Wait for nightfall?"
