The Haunting Repercussions of a Murderer's Past

There was a murderer who, in an attempt to rob a family, killed them all, sparing not even the children. As he held a sharp knife against the throat of a child, the child, surprisingly calm, said, "Are you afraid I'll kill your whole family?"

The murderer hesitated for a moment, then made a ruthless decision and killed the child. He took the money, set the house on fire to destroy the evidence, and escaped. He managed to elude the pursuit of the police, underwent plastic surgery, and settled down in a small town, leading a peaceful life.

After he had a son, he began to experience relentless nightmares. Almost every night, he dreamt of a child saying to him, "Kill your whole family, kill your whole family, kill your whole family..." Every time he woke up drenched in sweat, feeling that danger was closing in. He lived in perpetual fear.

Desperate for a solution, he sought out a spiritual healer. The healer, after some divination, told him that the vengeful spirit of the child was still seeking retribution and would come for his entire family soon.

The murderer wept and begged the healer to save his family. The healer suggested that he move to a different location as far away as possible, giving him an amulet to hang at the entrance of their new home before the vengeful spirit could locate them.

The murderer spared no expense to obtain the life-saving amulet. He, along with his family, took a long train journey and relocated to a distant city. They hung the amulet at the entrance, and the nightmares ceased. They slept soundly for several days.

One day, he received an unexpected call from an unknown number. A voice on the other end claimed that their child had been hit by a car and was in critical condition, instructing him to come to a particular hospital immediately. The man rushed to the location mentioned on the call.

Upon arrival, he discovered there was no hospital there, only a desolate and eerie wasteland. Realizing he had fallen into a trap set by the vengeful spirit of the child, he hurried back home.

When he reached home, he knocked on the door, and his wife opened it. As soon as she saw him, she screamed, "Who is the child behind you?"
