Abigail Bryant was taken back to the rental apartment by Scarlett Jennings and recuperated her soul for three days before finally recovering.
The first moment she came around, her whole soul was in turmoil.
"I-I haven’t updated my stories for three days!!! And I haven’t informed my readers!!"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Luckily, Abigail quickly put the update matter behind and turned to ask about those two demons.
She was sure she didn’t kill anyone, but she wasn’t sure if the two people could still harm others in the future.
And then there was that little girl.
She used her hand to harm someone, although she didn’t let her see the bloody scene, there’s no guarantee the police won’t come and question her...
Then Scarlett Jennings said,
"The girl is fine, she’s already undergone psychological counseling, and her grandmother took her home."
She paused, under Abigail’s tense gaze, before continuing,
"As for those other two... They’ve gone mad."
Abigail was surprised, clearly this was an unexpected answer.
"Mad??"
Could it be that she hit their heads so hard that they turned stupid?
Scarlett Jennings noticed Abigail’s confusion but didn’t tell her that the reason the two went mad was because she had given them each a Nightmare Talisman, initially designed for Chase Jennings.
However, their talismans weren’t custom-made, and what they dreamt of was merely their own deep retribution.
Especially Roman Clark, he had clearly seen Abigail’s soul body before falling unconscious, and upon waking, found his kneecap shattered, combined with seeing ghosts, which definitely drove him mad, right?
The families of the two heard that their sons had been dealt such a state by a little girl and originally intended to confront the girl’s family.
But because Scarlett Jennings had arranged for a lawyer to apply for a protection order in advance, the families couldn’t even meet her.
Later, Scarlett Jennings heard that Roman Clark’s father had been knocked to the ground by a deranged Roman Clark, causing a vertebral fracture, leaving the family with two incapacitated members counting on one person for care, with Roman’s mother wailing in the hospital room for a long time.
After knowing the outcome for those two demons and their families, Abigail finally felt happy.
Then she asked about successfully possessing someone, "Can I just possess anyone freely from now on?"
Abigail felt she might have unlocked a new skill in her ghostly life.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at her and simply said,
"You were able to possess her because your Fate Chart is similar, and because children naturally attract Shadow Souls."
Moreover, the younger they are, the easier it is to possess them.
"But the possession of a Shadow Soul causes harm to the person themselves, and over time, the person’s body will also be contaminated with Shadow Energy. When someone’s Shadow Energy becomes too heavy, their luck decreases, causing minor misfortunes or serious disasters."
Since Abigail obviously looked like a new ghost with no knowledge reserves, Scarlett Jennings explained in more detail than usual.
Upon hearing about the harm it could cause, Abigail immediately dispelled any ideas of sneaking a visit to the little girl.
Since she could be affected by her Shadow Energy, she’d better not go near her.

Another day passed, and there was intense discussion online about juveniles committing murder and being released only to reoffend.
The public opinion was intense, and with such incidents happening repeatedly, officials had no choice but to reevaluate the flaws in the protection laws they had established.
Seeing the official statement about possibly proposing amendments to the protection laws, Abigail’s last remaining grievances completely dissipated.
Scarlett Jennings looked at her and said,
"Your karma is finished. If you wish, I can assist in arranging your reception into the Underworld."
After all, she hadn’t taken a life, and even if she reincarnates now, she won’t face an early death like she did in this life.
Upon hearing about her reception to the Underworld, Abigail was first dazed and only hesitated half a day before speaking,
"Could we... take it slow?"
Scarlett Jennings looked at her and saw the ghost weakly pointing to her computer in the room, then smiling at her ingratiatingly,
"Can’t just abandon my readers."
