Matthew received a phone call from his uncle, who asked him to go over there because something had happened to his cousin Ava!

Matthew and his cousin grew up together, and they have a very good relationship, so he hung up the phone and took a few changes of clothes, and took a 3-hour shuttle bus ride to his uncle's house.

Once they saw Matthew, the uncle and aunt were just like seeing a savior and held his hand tightly. They believed that Matthew could help Ava with their deep brother-sister relationship.

When they entered the room, they saw Ava lying on the bed, her face was pale and her eyes were dull, and the first time they saw her, Matthew even thought she was dead!

When she saw Matthew, Ava suddenly sat up and asked him with wide eyes, "Brother Matthew, why did you come to see me? Am I going to die?"

Matthew was startled by this question and looked back at his uncle, who just sighed helplessly.

"Don't be ridiculous! Our company organized a tour, and it just happened to be in this town, so I came over." When Ava heard his explanation, she wilted and lay down again, her eyes dull.

After leaving Ava's room, Uncle told Matthew the reason: Ava, a senior in high school this year, and Isabella, her best classmate, shared a small single room near the school last month, saying that they could save time and concentrate more on their studies. Because Isabella is also a good girl with good grades, so Uncle and Auntie readily agreed.

Who knows, after just half a month, Isabella suddenly hanged herself! Pushing open the door, seeing Isabella hanging from the beam, a white body swaying back and forth, Ava was scared and screaming, squatting on the floor shivering, both eyes kept looking at Isabella's shadow projected on the wall.

Later, after the family's consolation and a counselor to guide her, Ava seemed to gradually ease up. But before the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt could breathe a sigh of relief, something else happened.

Ever since Isabella hanged herself, Ava has been coming home every day. One night she was in her room studying her homework when she suddenly screamed. Her eldest aunt rushed into the room and saw Ava's eyes full of panic, shivering and pointing out the window: "Her shadow! Her shadow!"

From then on, Ava was often frightened and screamed out loud, and she couldn't sleep well at night, having nightmares as soon as she fell asleep, saying that a shadow was following her and that the shadow was trying to harm her. Now she can't even go to school. But the eldest aunt and uncle did not see anything.

The next day, Matthew got up early and was talking to Ava. Ava didn't care about him at first, but then she said she wanted to go for a walk.

Ava said that she wanted to go for a walk. Auntie was very alert and was about to stop her, but Matthew pulled the corner of her coat, "Okay, I'll go with you!" Matthew said to her cheerfully.

After leaving the gate and walking along the street, Ava didn't get very far before she came up and grabbed Matthew's hand, obviously scared: "Matthew, it seems like ...... something is following us."

Matthew looked around strangely and didn't find anything.

"What I said is true," Ava said and continued to walk forward. Seeing Ava so serious, not like lying, Matthew couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

With Matthew's company, Ava also talked more. She told Matthew that Isabella was very abnormal a few days before her suicide, always saying that there were shadows following her. She also said that in the small room they rented, there used to live a senior girl, the girl can not bear the enormous pressure of studying, a moment of inability to think, in this house hanged themselves. Since then, people often see a shadow walking around the house as if holding a book in recitation.

Little did I know that in just a few days, Isabella would also hang herself! What's more horrible is that on the day Isabella hanged herself, Ava saw two shadows on the wall! In other words, in addition to Isabella's shadow, there was another one! It must have been the shadow that killed Isabella!

After hearing Ava say all this, Matthew was a little convinced that maybe Ava was indeed followed by something.

To relieve Ava's nervousness, Matthew made an exception and took her to a discotheque, playing until it was almost dark before coming out. After a few steps out, Ava suddenly clung to him again, shivering and saying, "It's coming, right there."

Matthew followed the direction she pointed and took a look at the front corner, and his heart immediately tightened!

"Matthew, isn't it?" Ava was scared, but a little surprised.

"Well, um ...... there's a figure ...... but no one ...... there," Matthew said in a panic.

"Yes, because Isabella is dead, only her shadow is left."

Matthew nodded. The two men fled home in a panic.

Back home, Matthew told his eldest aunt and uncle about it, and they were stunned: so it happened!

"That would be Isabella's shadow, that is, her spirit child!" Matthew said.

The eldest aunt and uncle were also out of ideas, but Matthew was still calm, he said he had a way to catch the shadow!

On the third day, Matthew got up early again, and after whispering something to his great-uncle's mother, he went out. He didn't return until late afternoon, carrying back a small bag of stuff.

He took out a red rope pendant from the bag for Ava to wear, the pendant is a red cloth sewn into the charm to avoid evil. Then he put a layer of liquid around the eyes of his uncle's mother, saying that he could see the shadow after smearing this. Finally to the door of Ava's room, the room wall pasted a few yellow charms.

Prepare these, just waiting for the arrival of the ghost.

Everyone was waiting in Ava's room, and time passed very slowly. 11:00 ...... noon......12:30, suddenly, Ava had a jolt, and her eyes were staring straight out the window! "Here comes the ghostly shadow." Then he walked towards the window, lifted the curtain, and opened the window door as soon as he could. The eldest aunt panicked and said, "Yes, it's coming, it's climbing the window!"

Quick as a flash, Matthew nimbly pulled out a long mahogany sword from his body and, with a loud bellow, slashed at the ghostly figure in the window! At once, the windowsill was soaked with red blood ......

"Cut it!" The eldest aunt exclaimed in a low voice of excitement.

Matthew pulled out a red cloth from the bag, three or two times the ghost blood on the windowsill wiped clean, and then folded the red cloth into the bag, said: "Take you back to the underworld, do not come here to make trouble again!"

At this point, Ava, already two eyes teary, moved to look at Matthew.

............

Soon after, Ava got into a major university as she had hoped.

............

In fact, from the beginning to the end, no one had seen the ghost, and no one believed in ghosts, except Ava.

Matthew thought that maybe the problem was in Ava's mind. hallucinations, seeing shadows following her from time to time, and she is convinced that it is Isabella's ghost!

Since Ava believes in ghosts, the only way is to "prescribe the right medicine" and put on a "ghost hunting" scene for Ava! On the surface, the ghost is cut to death it is to destroy Ava's "heart ghost".
