After some mental struggle, Gennaro ended up sleeping with the fat woman. What he didn't realize was that in the middle of the night, the fat woman suddenly changed her appearance - she turned into that loli.
Lori's face was deathly pale and shrouded in darkness as she choked Gennaro like a vengeful ghost. Terrified out of his wits, Gennaro rushed out of the room. Fortunately, the hotel was crowded and several waiters and security guards came by at that moment, which scared the loli ghost away.
As the saying goes, people fear ghosts by three parts, but ghosts fear people by seven. There's safety in numbers with strong yang energy.
Gennaro escaped, but was so frightened he couldn't sleep at night. To make matters worse, the fat woman's WeChat was strangely persistent - he couldn't delete it, and at night she would knock on his door. Gennaro was terrified, so he resolved to find a master to exorcise her.
After seeking me out, he realized the fat woman and Lori were actually two different entities - one a demon, one a ghost. He had thought Lori had transformed into a vengeful ghost that took the form of the fat woman to harm him. In reality, that night he hadn't truly escaped - the fat woman (actually the pig demon) had been watching from outside the door the whole time. He saw the pig demon for what it was, and also witnessed Lori's ghost transform and disappear into the ceiling.
When you think about it, no ghost would choose to appear as a fat woman to haunt someone. If it could transform, it would surely become a beautiful woman instead.
Luckily, after getting my Five Thunder Gods tattoo, neither the pig demon nor Lori's vengeful ghost came back to bother him. Even more amazingly, he was finally able to delete the fat woman's WeChat.
Believing my Gods and Ghosts Tattoo had worked, Gennaro returned home with a clear conscience. He wanted to guard the well, as there were still some bone fragments at the bottom that would slowly sink deeper over time.
But he never expected we'd catch up to him. His mistake was throwing the remaining pig-gnawed bones into the well, which became evidence that he'd repeated his father's crime.
Gennaro finally confessed everything - he had indeed killed Lori. This shows how dangerous online dating can be - meet with caution, or you might lose your life without anyone knowing.
"You're truly inhuman! If you wanted a woman, you could have just paid for one. Why kill when you couldn't get what you wanted? A young woman in her prime, ruined by your hands! You're worse than an animal - feeding human remains to pigs! Are you some kind of beast?"
I grew furious and slapped him three times in quick succession, leaving him dazed with blood trickling from both corners of his mouth.
Shaking his head vigorously, he pleaded: "Yes, I'm not human, I'm an animal. But I still have a grandmother to support. Please turn a blind eye and let me go, okay? I know you want money - I'll give you 100,000 yuan. Is that enough? If not, I can sell another piece of land. How about it?"
Money? Land? Can those bring back a human life? He's ugly, yet thinks so highly of himself.
"Don't worry, I won't report you," I said.
Gennaro thought the money had won me over. Grinning widely, he turned to us and said, "Good people live safely, good people have happy and safe lives."
"But I'm going to remove your tattoos," I continued.
"No, no..." Gennaro suddenly panicked. He began struggling desperately, but it was useless - there was no way he could break free from Antonio with his strength.
"Without my tattoos, that fat pig demon will surely come for me! And the loli ghost - one wants my essence, the other wants me dead! I'll die! Please, don't..."
I sneered, then glanced at the pigsty and said, "Do you still not understand where that pig demon came from?"
Gennaro followed my gaze and immediately understood. His eyes widened in disbelief as he shook his head desperately.
"Impossible! My family's pig... how could it become a demon? I... I slept with my family's pig...? No, absolutely impossible!" Gennaro's face turned deathly pale.
"What's impossible? Remember what you fed the pigs? That's how it became tainted," I said.
When Gennaro still refused to believe, I had Antonio escort him to the pigsty. I then covered the tattoo on his hand with mine.
The pig took a few steps back and shook its head, but nothing changed - it just seemed frightened.
"See? It's just a normal pig! Haha, you were wrong!" Gennaro still wouldn't believe me.
That's when I took the Gennaro family's butcher knife and threatened to slaughter the pig if it didn't show its human form.
Still no change. The pig just retreated to the back of the sty. Left with no choice, I handed the knife to Stein.
Stein climbed over the pigpen fence, knife in hand, and advanced toward the pig with murderous intent.
Just then, I saw the pig start trembling. Its limbs crouched and pressed against the ground as it suddenly transformed into the fat woman we'd seen before.
"Don't kill me! Spare my life!" the pig demon begged in human speech, falling to her knees. She seemed terrified of the butcher knife, trembling at the sight of it.
Gennaro froze. This time he'd seen it with his own eyes - no further explanation was needed.
"No way! You damn pig! You tricked me into sleeping with you and sucking my essence! I'll kill you!" Gennaro burned with shame and rage, wanting to slay the pig demon to cleanse his dishonor. But Antonio held him down as easily as restraining a chicken - no amount of struggling could free him.
I laughed coldly. "What a shame you're still hung up on this! Still angry? What's there to be angry about? Did anyone force you? You did it willingly! How exactly did they trick you? You're just lonely and desperate to sleep with any woman - you fell for it yourself!"
"Mr. Roger, what next? Remove his tattoos?" Antonio asked, eyeing The Five Thunder Gods tattoo on Gennaro's hand.
"I can't remove it," I said. "I don't have professional tools. Tattoos can't be removed anytime, anywhere at will. I was just scaring him earlier. We should report him to the police - let him face proper punishment."
"No! Please don't report me! Have mercy! What will happen to my grandmother if I go to jail?" Gennaro dropped to his knees, kowtowing desperately for forgiveness.
I sneered. "Now you remember your grandmother? Why didn't you think of her when you committed murder? Gennaro's biggest mistake was coming to me. If you'd found some other shady tattoo artist, they might have lacked the conscience to care about such matters."
We ignored his pleas. Stein even took out his phone, ready to call the authorities.
Just then, a gaunt figure suddenly vaulted over the pigsty fence and snatched the butcher knife from Stein's grasp.
It was an elderly woman - silver-haired and pale-faced, yet surprisingly strong. Had it been me holding the knife, she wouldn't have succeeded, but unfortunately Stein was distracted by his phone call.
"Grandma...!" Gennaro cried out.
But Grandma Gennaro paid him no mind. Clutching the butcher knife, she marched straight toward the pig demon.
