{After hearing your parents' explanation, the first thing you thought of was the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon. Once your sister lost herself, she would become a mindless killing machine.}
{And once Grandma undergoes corpse transformation, she too would become a monster that only knows slaughter. Doesn't that suggest that there might be a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon inside Grandma as well?}
{Or perhaps the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon is a hereditary bloodline trait in Grandma's lineage, one that can be passed down.}
{Judging from your parents' words, they probably don't know about the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon. Which means that your mother most likely hasn't awakened the bloodline.}
{In other words, the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon bloodline doesn't awaken in every generation—maybe it skips one, or even several.}
{And the probability of awakening seems to be much higher in females. At the very least, you haven't felt any signs of awakening yourself.}
{You hesitated. Should you tell them about the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon?}
{Your parents, seeing your silence, assumed you were scared by everything they had just said. They tried to comfort you, telling you not to worry. No matter what happens, they would bear the burden. As long as they're alive, they won't let you face any of it directly.}
{You shook your head and said you had already suspected some of this. What caught you off guard was the possibility of Grandma undergoing corpse transformation.}
{You asked your parents, "Do you know what a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon is?"}
{They froze, then looked nervous, and immediately asked how you knew about it. Was there a voice constantly whispering things to you inside your mind?}
{Your eyes narrowed slightly. So your parents did know about the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon, and they had likely been worried all along that you or your sister might awaken the bloodline.}
{You nodded and said that ever since waking up from that coma, there had been a voice in your head constantly talking about Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demons and other things. Many of the things you'd learned came from that voice.}
{Your parents turned pale. With serious expressions, they warned you not to believe anything that voice said. It wanted to use your body to return to this world, and it would turn you into a creature that only knew how to kill!}
{You nodded solemnly, saying that you understood and had never really trusted anything it said.}
{But sometimes, because of what it said, you couldn't help but start looking at things a certain way, thinking about things in that direction. And then you would actually start to notice things that were off.}
{That's why you had come to them to ask what was really happening in the family.}
{Your words did nothing to ease your parents' concern. In fact, they only looked more serious. They emphasized again: no matter what the voice said, don't look, don't think, don't respond. Treat it like wind passing by your ears.}
{You repeatedly promised not to listen to it. Only then did their expressions ease a little. Then you asked: "What exactly is a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon?"}
{Your parents exchanged a glance, then sighed and said: Grandma wouldn't undergo a corpse transformation, she would become a Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon.}
{Normally, when a person dies, nothing remains. But Grandma had practiced a bit of Taoist Principles, and her Spirit was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even after death, her Spirit would remain active for a short time though her conscious flame had already been extinguished.}
{While alive, Grandma had always consciously suppressed the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon within her. But now that her consciousness had faded, that suppression was weakening. It would be easy for the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon to return using her body.}
{This kind of soul-return through corpse-possession would be extremely weak—or rather, it wouldn't be a full return.}
{It would require devouring large amounts of the blood of her descendants to grow stronger and truly come back.}
{All of this had been told to your parents by Grandma before she passed. It was the real reason she insisted that they leave right away before she died.}
{After battling the Female Ghost, Grandma had already felt herself struggling to suppress the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon bloodline within.}
{To prevent harming anyone, she immediately sent your parents away, then contacted her old friend for help in suppressing herself. She had to stop herself from transforming after death. Then she sealed her own burial!}
{At this point, you suddenly remembered: during the last simulation, the Female Ghost had said she "caused the death" of your grandmother, not that she "killed" her.}
{So that was the hidden truth.}
{If your parents hadn't told you this directly, no matter how many simulations you ran, you might never have figured it out.}
{You couldn't help but sigh. It really is true, there shouldn't be so many secrets among family.}
{You then asked if Grandma had ever mentioned a way to suppress the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon.}
{Your mother said that Grandma never expected you to awaken the bloodline, because such awakenings are usually passed from female to female, or male to male. Of course, there are exceptions, but those are very rare.}
{That's why Grandma gave the mirror which could suppress the awakening of the Bloodthirsty Aberrant Demon to your sister.}
{The pocket watch she gave you was mainly to dispel Illusory Worlds. You were born on a Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour. You had a weak constitution from birth and were prone to ghost encounters.}
{Your and your sister's encounter with the Female Ghost was, in large part, due to your constitution, which had attracted her.}
{So, the pocket watch Grandma gave you had the power to ward off evil, break illusions, and dispel malevolent energy—keeping ghostly entities at bay.}
{Hearing this, you were stunned. You hadn't expected that all the problems your family now faced could be traced back to your own constitution.}
{Then another thought struck you—did your parents, before dying, tell all of this to the Original Owner of this body?}
{What must it have felt like, knowing that the source of all misfortune… was your very existence?}
