Upon hearing the young man's grievances, Josh couldn't help but feel terrified by such a girlfriend.
Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, "But even with those bracelets and necklaces... doesn't she leave you alone?"
Josh couldn't believe it.
The young man, now wearing a necklace and bracelets, immediately sought answers from Lilly when he heard that her necklace could protect lives.
It was clear that even with the necklace and bracelets, his terrifying girlfriend still managed to find him.
Since she would come looking for him whether he wore them or not, he decided it was better not to wear them at all.
The young man broke down, saying, "Even if I wear them, she still comes... but if I don't wear the necklace and bracelets she gave me, her appearance is far from ordinary."
Wearing the bracelets and necklace, his girlfriend would often appear suddenly, standing silently by his bed while he slept, or quietly lying beside him when he was deeply asleep.
When he didn't wear the bracelets and necklace, his girlfriend would show up with a furious expression, her eyes glaring intensely, hysterically asking him why he wasn't wearing the bracelet she had given him.
"Why aren't you wearing the bracelet and necklace? Are you planning to find another woman? If you take off the bracelet and necklace I gave you, I will surely take you away..."
These were the words his girlfriend had said.
"There was one time when I took off the bracelet and necklace. I was asleep, but somehow, in a daze, I walked out of the door and unknowingly climbed to the rooftop... It was just as I was about to jump that a security guard shouted and startled me awake."
"When I woke up, I found myself holding the necklace and bracelet in my hand, just one step away from jumping off the building."
The young man was so terrified that he didn't go home for three whole days. He dared not take off the bracelet and stayed with his friends, only able to sleep when someone was watching over him.
During those three days, he desperately searched for a practitioner and tried various methods, but it only further enraged his girlfriend.
She disrupted his peace, scaring away his friends and rendering the practitioners he had found useless. Now he couldn't even sleep properly.
On this day, in a state of panic, he sought something to protect himself, and that's when he heard Lilly say that the bracelet could safeguard his life, prompting him to come running.
Josh and Lilly finally understood the young man's desperation.
Lilly said, "She must be a resentful spirit... and not a particularly powerful one."
Josh exclaimed in horror, "And you say this isn't a powerful resentful spirit?"
The young man almost jumped off a building, and it's still not considered powerful?
Lilly shook her head and explained, "If she were already a powerful resentful spirit, she would have succeeded in taking a life during the first attempt, without giving others a chance to wake him up."
The young man shook his head, saying, "That's impossible... she must be powerful! Very powerful! Otherwise, why would she frequently appear and scare me, almost taking me away?"
Josh was also puzzled. Lilly had mentioned that ordinary woeful ghosts could only be seen under specific circumstances, relying on the right timing and conditions.
A more powerful resentful spirit could manifest itself abruptly, startling others and even having the ability to take lives.
However, not all ghosts could choose to manifest themselves or make themselves visible at will.
Therefore, Josh believed that if the young man's girlfriend could appear at any time, she must be quite powerful.
Lilly explained, "The reason she can appear at any time is precisely because of these bracelets and necklaces. She has passed away, and these items, twisted with both her hair and the hair of a living person, act as a medium, allowing her to appear freely."
