Chapter 145 Underworld Midwife

The director cupped his hand and said, “Okay then, I’ll call you Mr . Ye in public places then . ”

“Mr . Ye may not know about this, but anyone who has any knowledge of the Daoist realm would know about your name . After Mr . Ye arrived in Stone City and easily destroyed the Spirit Nest that had been in dormitory four for seventy years, you instantly became famous . ”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head and said, “Don’t believe rumors . I did not easily destroy the place . To be honest, I almost died in it . ”

The director laughed and said, “Well, you survived and destroyed it . That’s why all the rich families in Stone City want to hire you . All of them are willing to pay you high prices, but unfortunately, no one can find you, and can only go through Old Guo . Old Guo said you were busy and had to push back all appointments a month . ”

Ye Shaoyang was speechless . Without even him knowing, he had become a famous person .

This feeling isn’t too bad . I guess after I’m done with Madam Chee and Gu master, I can ask Old Guo to find some business for me and make some more money .

“Anyways, back to your hospital . You said this place is haunted?”

The director sighed and said, “I can’t explain it clearly, so it’s best you guys take a look at the surveillance video we have . I’ve kept a copy of it on my laptop for research purposes . ”

As he said this, he turned his laptop around and opened the video .

The video showed a delivery room where a few doctors and nurses were helping a woman give birth .

“Everything had been normal . We expected a natural birth, so we waited for twenty minutes as her labor pains became more and more intense,” the director then fast-forwarded the video to about twenty minutes later . “See . The woman stared intensely at the ceiling . Not only did she have a painful expression, but she was also fearful . ”

The woman had her mouth and eyes wide open as she stared somewhere at the ceiling . Unfortunately, the camera was unable to capture what she saw from the angle on which it was mounted .

After about three minutes, the door to the delivery room opened and a short woman walked into the room . She had a hunched back and had a red cloth around her head . White hair flowed from beneath the red cloth . Ye Shaoyang guessed that she was an old woman . She wore a black gown that went all the way down to the floor . She carried a black chain in one hand and a basket full of h.e.l.l notes in the other .

Xie Yuqing covered her mouth and said, “This woman is--”

“Officer Xie, please keep watching . ”

In the video, a doctor noticed that the door was open . The doctor asked the nurse to close the door . When the nurse turned, Ye Shaoyang recognized her as Xu Yajuan .

Xu Yajuan walked pa.s.sed the old woman and closed the door . After that, she walked back to her post and got back to work . Soon, the old woman came close enough for the woman that was giving birth to notice her . The woman pointed fearfully in her direction . Even though the video had no sound, it was clear from her actions that the woman saw the old woman and was terrified .

The doctors and the nurses quickly looked to where the woman was pointing, but they didn’t seem to notice the old woman . Two nurses moved close to the woman to console her . ”

“I believe only the woman was able to see the old woman,” the director said .

“Excuse me but,” Xie Yuqing wanted to know, “why was the camera able to capture her presence?”

“Those doctors and nurses are under the old woman’s spell . She probably used a spirit blinding trick on them, but she didn’t know that there was a camera . That’s why she didn’t hide appropriately . Cameras are like mirrors . Spirits may blind people to their presence, but a mirror will still reflect their image . ”

The old woman walked in front of the woman and blew into the woman’s face . The woman stopped moving . Then the old woman climbed on top of the woman, opened her mouth and continuously blew into the woman’s mouth .

Ye Shaoyang was troubled by this while Xie Yuqing panicked .

Not long after, the baby was born . The nurses and doctors moved quickly, but so did the old woman . She moved close to the baby and wrapped the black chain around the baby’s neck . Xie Yuqing covered her mouth and almost screamed at the sight .

After wrapping the chain around the baby, she pulled on it until the baby got into her basket, but something strange happened . Even after the old woman pulled the baby into her basket, another baby remained on the examination bed and was taken care of by the nurses and doctors .

The old woman walked out the room and the video changed to show the corridor . Ye Shaoyang figured it was the corridor outside the delivery room .

As the old woman walked, she pulled out h.e.l.l notes from her basket and threw them into the air . h.e.l.l notes filled the air while small figures started to appear behind her . They appeared to be babies crawling and following the old woman .

Ye Shaoyang sighed as he watched the scene .

Soon, the old woman and all the babies behind her disappeared leaving behind an abundance of h.e.l.l notes . The video returned to the delivery room in chaos . Nurses ran around . Doctors tried their best to stop the woman’s bleeding, and without them even noticing, a woman with long hair rose from the pool of blood on the floor . She bent down and licked the blood off the floor .

“I can’t . . . ”

Xie Yuqing held Ye Shaoyang’s arm as her body began to shake . Even though it was through a screen, the scene was still too terrifying for her to handle .

After the video ended, the director turned to the two of them and said, “That woman died from blood loss . Strangely enough, the baby she gave birth to is completely healthy and normal . ”

Shocked by what she heard, Xie Yuqing asked, “How is that possible? Wasn’t the baby pulled away by the old woman?”

The director did not answer; instead, he turned to Ye Shaoyang and asked, “Mr . Ye, what do you think?”

Ye Shaoyang slowly said, “That was an underworld midwife . ”

“What is that?” Xie Yuqing asked . Even from the name, she felt that it was scary .

“It’s a spirit that lives in the underworld and uses blood and Qi to cultivate, yet it is different than the corpse-eating spirits . Unlike the corpse-eating spirit, the underworld midwife only appears in the mortal realm once in a while . It specifically chooses women who are about to give birth . Right before a woman gives birth, it blows mouthfuls of spirit Qi into the mother and uses the umbilical cord to transmit it to the baby . When the baby is born, it takes away its soul .

“Because the spirit Qi was introduced to the baby through the umbilical cord, the baby recognizes the spirit Qi as something friendly and follows the owner of the Qi . After it finds eight baby souls it returns to the underworld to continue its cultivation . The eight babies will continuously provide her with the cultivation they have, but whenever the spirit faces a Heavenly Tribulation it uses a few of the baby souls to take the blow . Whenever it runs out of souls, it comes up to the mortal realm again to get more . ”
