Ignoring the way Shi Ying had begun trembling again, Shi Manman continued stitching.
Shi Manman had once tried using the Corpse-Sewing Needles on herself.
Apart from the pain of the needle going in and out, the Corpse-Sewing Thread's special material meant it caused no pain as it passed through flesh.

This was a method from the Southern School Corpse-Sewing Secrets used to lure ghosts into possessing a body.
It was usually stitched onto corpses. It worked on living people too, but what would happen when a ghost arrived and discovered it couldn't possess the body went without saying.
