Divine Level Witch Doctor

The chains wrapped around Xiaochengcheng’s body were Liu Lili’s obsession!

The woman harbored immense guilt and longing for her son. These emotions transformed into an obsession, forming the shackles that imprisoned Xiaochengcheng!

One should never underestimate human obsession; this energy, born from thought, is incredibly powerful! It can even transform into resentful Curses, Demon Spirits, and other such things, wreaking havoc on oneself or others!

Zhao Yuan understood that to get Xiaochengcheng to leave Liu Lili’s body, he had to break these shackles. And the key to this problem lay with Liu Lili herself!

As the saying goes, it takes the one who created the problem to solve it.

But persuading Liu Lili, who was lost in her obsession, would be no easy task.

Especially since Zhao Yuan had observed that while her dire state was caused by the Ghost Soul’s possession, there was genuinely something wrong with her mental state. In her current condition, she wouldn’t listen to reason and would view anyone who tried to separate her from her son as an enemy.

’What should I do…’ Zhao Yuan frowned, pondering his next move.

At that moment, Zeng Rui, who was floating in mid-air, suddenly said, ”A person’s defenses are at their weakest when they are dreaming.”

Zhao Yuan paused, feeling as if he had just grasped a flash of inspiration. He quickly asked, ”What do you mean?”

Zeng Rui answered, ”Don’t you have a Dream-Entering Talisman? Take her son and husband into her dreamscape. It’s easier to convince her to let go of her obsession in a dream than in reality!”

Zhao Yuan’s eyes lit up. ”That’s a brilliant idea! Elder Zeng, you’re truly worthy of your place in history as a great physician. Amazing!”

A faint blush appeared on Zeng Rui’s lovely face; she was surprisingly flustered by the compliment.

Standing at the door of the examination room, Chen Kaihua watched Zhao Yuan with a worried expression.

He couldn’t see Zeng Rui, nor could he understand their conversation in the Ghost Language. From his perspective, Zhao Yuan had suddenly turned his head and started muttering strange words to the empty air. He didn’t understand what was being said, but the tone and cadence carried an eerie chill, making his skin crawl and his hair stand on end.

”Dr. Zhao, what’s wrong?” Chen Kaihua couldn’t help but ask, his voice trembling. Inwardly, he wondered, ’He’s not going crazy too, is he?’

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan didn’t have the Mind Reading Technique, or he would have been so exasperated he wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

”I’m fine. Oh, come over and give me a hand,” Zhao Yuan said as he turned, righted the hospital bed that Liu Lili had knocked over, and put it back in place.

”How can I help?” Chen Kaihua asked, walking quickly to Zhao Yuan’s side.

”Because of your wife’s obsession, your son’s soul is trapped in her body and can’t get out on its own. So we have to persuade your wife to let go of her obsession...” Zhao Yuan briefly explained the current situation.

”How are we going to persuade her?” Chen Kaihua asked, getting to the heart of the matter.

”By going into her dream,” Zhao Yuan replied. ”I’m going to reunite your family of three in her dreamscape. I’ll go with you, and the three of us will convince her to let go of her obsession together.”

”No problem,” Chen Kaihua agreed with a nod. He felt a little nervous inside; after all, entering someone else’s dream was just too surreal.

But then he reconsidered. His son’s Ghost Soul had already appeared; compared to that, entering someone else’s dream hardly seemed strange at all.

So, he calmed himself down.

Compared to Chen Kaihua’s wandering thoughts, Xiaochengcheng was much simpler. After hearing Zhao Yuan’s words, he agreed without hesitation, ”I don’t want Mommy to die! I’ll do my best to convince her!”

Zhao Yuan straightened the bed a little and instructed, ”Mr. Chen, please help your wife lie down on the bed. Oh, and right now, half of her body is being controlled by your son, so you just need to support the other half.”

Chen Kaihua immediately went forward. Supporting the motionless half of Liu Lili’s body, he worked together with his son to lay her down on the hospital bed.

Zhao Yuan brought over a stool and gestured for him to sit. ”Sit by the bed and hold your wife’s hand.”

Chen Kaihua did as he was told. Just as he was about to ask what to do next, he saw Zhao Yuan produce a Talisman from thin air, place it on Liu Lili’s forehead, and rapidly chant a Spell.

BOOM!

A cluster of ethereal blue flames erupted on the Talisman, instantly burning it to ash and sending up wisps of green smoke.

The green smoke slithered like a snake, winding its way into Chen Kaihua’s and Zhao Yuan’s nostrils.

Chen Kaihua felt a tickle in his nose and was about to sneeze when a powerful wave of drowsiness suddenly washed over him. The sneeze never came; instead, his eyes closed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, Chen Kaihua felt that he had arrived in a park.

”Where is this? Wasn’t I at the hospital? How did I suddenly end up here?”

He looked around blankly, feeling that the place was very familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered where this place was and was jolted by the realization.

”Isn’t this the park where Xiaochengcheng had his accident? Why am I here?”

Just as he was feeling bewildered, a voice came from nearby. ”Mr. Chen, we’re over here.”

Chen Kaihua followed the voice and immediately saw Zhao Yuan. His Divine Sense, which had been in a muddled state, instantly cleared. He immediately recalled the sequence of events and blurted out, ”Is this... Lili’s dream?”

”That’s right,” Zhao Yuan sighed and replied. ”This is the park where your son passed away, isn’t it? It seems your wife has been trapped in this memory, unable to break free. Dreaming of this same scene for hundreds of days and nights... it’s no wonder her obsession is so deep.”

Chen Kaihua didn’t respond. His gaze fell on the little boy standing next to Zhao Yuan.

Who else could this bright and adorable little boy be but his departed son, Xiaochengcheng?

Even though he hadn’t seen him for over two years, Xiaochengcheng was still just as adorable.

Chen Kaihua’s eyes instantly welled with tears. He cried out, ”Son!” and immediately sprinted toward Xiaochengcheng, sweeping him up into a tight embrace.

Because they were in a dream, Chen Kaihua was able to hold Xiaochengcheng. In the real world, even if Xiaochengcheng were to leave Liu Lili’s body, Chen Kaihua wouldn’t be able to see or touch him.

”Dad!” Xiaochengcheng also wrapped his small hands tightly around Chen Kaihua and began to wail.

Trembling, Chen Kaihua reached out and caressed Xiaochengcheng’s chubby cheeks. He choked out, ”Son, I thought I’d never see you again. I can’t believe we’re meeting like this... Even if it’s just in your mother’s dream, I’m content!”

The mention of the dream suddenly reminded him of their purpose for being there. He quickly wiped away his tears and asked Zhao Yuan, ”What should we do now?”
