Story:
Jia Baoyu put down his books and ran to Granny Jia's place. Just then, Granny Jia, Wang Xifeng, and others were discussing 'evil spirits and heterodox ways'.
Jia Baoyu immediately chimed in, recalling how Aunt Zhao had once hired someone to perform rituals, causing him and Wang Xifeng to fall ill from an evil spell.
Wang Xifeng said, 'I don't remember it very clearly. But I felt my body was not my own, as if someone was pulling and dragging me, urging me to kill someone.'
