Today at the hospital for a prenatal checkup, the doctor dropped a bombshell — she's carrying twins, a boy and a girl! At that very moment, my girlfriend's mother sent a message: the master had divined that my ex-wife had been secretly using dark magic, sending little spirits to harm us.
I stood there, completely stunned, my mind blank. When we divorced, I gave her half of my property. I had a clear conscience. I never imagined she would go so far as to harm me, my girlfriend, and our unborn children.
Lately, my girlfriend's behavior has grown eerily strange. She flies into violent rages over nothing, screaming at me for over an hour, even cursing my parents and daughter — people she's never met. Stranger still, she speaks details about them she shouldn't possibly know, as if… something else were whispering in her ear. At that moment, a terrifying thought crept into my mind: had the little spirits already entered her body?
Two weeks later, the prenatal results froze me to the core. The doctor said our baby girl's condition was dire — she would have to be "reduced." On the day of the procedure, it took three injections instead of one to complete, something the doctor found unbelievable. My heart shattered. One fact seared itself into my mind — our daughter's soul was unbelievably strong, refusing to leave this world.
To protect the boy still in her womb, my girlfriend couldn't be given anesthesia. Throughout the procedure, she was drenched in sweat, crying out in agony, her screams tearing through the air as if an evil spirit were clawing at her from within.
The next day, we went to a temple to hold a ritual for the daughter we'd lost. Amidst the curling incense smoke, the old monk closed his eyes for a long moment and then spoke softly: "She… has not gone far. She even refuses rebirth."
I felt my whole body tremble. Could it be that our daughter still lingers with us? Or… has she already become a guardian spirit, ready to fight to the death against the dark forces lurking in the shadows?
