What?
Zhang Li suddenly looked down at Tiantian." Tiantian knows it?”
Tiantian nodded, her face filled with joy." I know you, Mom. Don't be afraid. Xi 'er is Tiantian's friend.”
She looked at the ghost infant and clapped her fair and tender hands to express her happiness.
"Xi 'er is so awesome!"
As she spoke, Tiantian struggled to get down from her mother's arms and run over to praise Xi 'er again.
Zhang Li's brain was buzzing.
Tiantian's words kept repeating in her mind…Don't be afraid, Mommy. Xi 'er is Tiantian's friend.
"Tiantian, when did you meet…this friend?”Zhang Li was stunned and blurted out.
"Mom, do you still remember that Tiantian always goes to the temple to play? The friend Tiantian mentioned is Xi 'er.”She looked embarrassed as she spoke. It seemed that she felt bad for hiding it from her mother all this time, but she really couldn't say anything about Xi 'er's situation.
“……”
Zhang Li and Zhuang Suhua were dumbfounded.
They subconsciously looked up at the ghost infant. Was this the friend who had been playing with Tiantian?
…The one playing with Tiantian wasn't a ghost, but a ghost infant?？
"Tiantian, you said it's your friend? The friend from the City God Temple? The friend related to 'uncle'?”Zhuang Suhua asked three questions in a row. She seriously suspected that she was old and that she had misheard.
Tiantian nodded like a chick pecking at rice." That's right. Xi 'er has always been friends with Tiantian.”。
The next moment, she looked up at Zhang Li and Zhuang Suhua." Mom, Grandma, don't be afraid of Xi 'er. Xi' er is a very nice person. Tiantian was afraid that you would be afraid of Xi 'er, so she didn't say anything about Xi' er.”
Tiantian was already five years old. It wasn't that she didn't know anything. She more or less knew that Xi 'er's situation was special, so she didn't tell her mother and grandmother about Xi' er.
"Mom, I want to go down. I want to thank Xi 'er.”
Hearing this.
Zhang Li did not know what she was thinking. Her mind was in a mess and she subconsciously put Tiantian down.
Tiantian came down and started running.
"Xi 'er is awesome!" Tiantian came in front of Ghost Baby, her little face full of joy, her little thumb raised.
A small hand held Xi 'er's hand and shook it, jumping around happily.
Ghost Baby's cheeks puffed up.
It listened to Tiantian's words and looked at Tiantian's happy expression. It stood rooted to the ground.
Tiantian was used to Xi 'er's reaction. She looked at the ghost baby's puffed up cheeks and saw something moving inside." Is that thing in your mouth, Xi' er? Is it delicious?"”
As she spoke, Tiantian reached out her little hand and gently tapped Ghost Baby's cheek. After that, she quickly retracted her hand, feeling a little scared.
Ghost Baby looked at Tiantian.
A second later, it nodded its little head in response to Tiantian's words. Its mouth moved as if it was trying to lick the little paper doll in its mouth and then answer Tiantian's question about whether it was delicious.
A second later.
Ghost Baby nodded again.
"Delicious?" Tiantian's little face was stunned. She looked at the ghost baby's mouth with a little fear." Xi 'er, that doesn't look delicious. Will it really be delicious?”
She doubted Xi 'er's words, but when Xi' er said it was delicious, she became curious. From her expression, she seemed to want to eat it too and try it out.
Ghost Baby tilted his head when he heard that.
Then, it was about to take out a small piece of paper from its mouth and give some to Tiantian, but it stopped midway and looked at Tiantian and shook its head.
"Can't this thing be eaten because it's sweet?" He didn't know how Tiantian thought, but she knew what Ghost Baby was thinking.
Ghost Baby nodded.
Tiantian pouted."You don't have to give it to me. I don't want to eat that thing. I don't want to eat it even if it's delicious. You should eat it. Tiantian will have diarrhea if she eats it. Hehe ~"
She instinctively felt that the food was not delicious, or rather, she could not eat it.
Over there.
Zhang Li and Zhuang Suhua stared blankly at the strange conversation between the two children not far away.
…Tiantian really knew this ghost baby!
Zhang Li quickly thought of a question. Why would there be a ghost in the City God Temple?!
In the next moment, she thought of another key point…This ghost baby knew Lord Shing Wong, so this ghost baby was the ghost baby raised by Lord Shing Wong?!
Thinking of this…
Zhang Li's breathing stopped and her eyes widened. She seemed to know something incredible.
"This is Lord Shing Wong's ghost baby.”At this moment, Zhuang Suhua, who was beside him, exclaimed softly. She had also realized this problem.
The two of them looked at each other.
They saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"That's right. Only the ghost baby can become friends with Tiantian and even have fun with her.”Zhang Li thought it through.
The ghost was an adult. Why would it play with the child Tiantian all the time and even have fun with Tiantian? This scene was a little strange. Although adults could play with children, it was obviously much more coordinated when children played with children than when children played with adults.
Suddenly!
Zhang Li's body trembled. She looked at her mother, Zhuang Suhua." Mom, do you still remember what happened to Yan Liangpeng?"”
“……”
Zhuang Suhua's pupils shrank.
He shifted his gaze from Ghost Baby to Zhang Li.
"You mean…" Her mouth was slightly agape, unable to close for a long time.
They had heard from Tiantian before that Yan Liangpeng was probably beaten away by her friend. Now, it seemed that this friend was not a ghost-it was this little brat in front of them!
"Oh my god!" Zhuang Suhua felt that the information was too explosive, and she could not recover from it.
Zhang Li covered her mouth. She was shocked by this question.
The ghost baby in front of him was the 'murderer' who 'harmed' Yan Liangpeng!
"Mom, Grandma."
Tiantian said something to Ghost Baby, then she held Xi 'er's hand and walked toward Zhang Li and the others.
"Mommy, grandma, this is Xi 'er, Tiantian's best friend. Xi' er, she's my mommy, and this is my grandma.”Tiantian introduced the two of them like an adult.
Ghost Baby walked over and raised his head to look at Zhang Li.
Being looked at like that by the ghost infant.
No matter how big-hearted Zhang Li and the others were, they still felt a wave of horror and were instinctively afraid.
However, they quickly suppressed this thought.
"Thank…thank you for saving us. You've already saved us twice.”Zhang Li spoke, her words filled with gratitude.
If not for Xi 'er, they would definitely have died.
At the same time, she noticed the small wooden token hanging around Xi 'er's neck that was the same as Tiantian's.
Not long ago, Tiantian returned home with a small wooden token.
She and her mother, Zhuang Suhua, were curious about this small wooden token. Although they couldn't see what the small wooden token did, it looked like an ordinary small wooden token. Since it was a gift from the ghost, they naturally cherished it for Tiantian. Now, they knew the function of this small thing…It was the connection between Tiantian and the ghost baby.
Zhuang Suhua also expressed her gratitude.
Then, the two of them subconsciously did not dare to say Xi 'er's name.
It wasn't that they didn't like the ghost baby or didn't recognize it. On the contrary, they were very grateful. The more they looked at the ghost baby, the more they found it pleasing to the eye. It even had a kind of ghostly cuteness. If others heard this thought, they would definitely be shocked. Although the ghost baby was cute, there were more terrifying parts to it.
Black eyes, pale skin, a white shroud, a smiling face mask…Everything was terrifying.
However, that was the truth. They thought the ghost infant was cute.
However, no matter how cute they were, they were still instinctively afraid of the ghost infant!
This was a malicious ghost!
A ghost baby.
They were not Tiantian. Tiantian was still young and didn't know the meaning of ghosts, but they knew, so they didn't dare to call Xi 'er like Tiantian.
Ghost Baby stared at Zhang Li and the others for two seconds.
It shook its head slightly.
"Mom, Grandma, Xi 'er said you're welcome.”Tiantian said, acting as a special translator.
"You're not polite?"
Zhang Li and the other were stunned for a moment. They immediately looked at each other and saw the astonishment and strangeness in each other's eyes.
…How did Tiantian communicate with the little ghost baby? How did she tell that she was being impolite?
The two of them smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Ghost Baby's mouth moved. He sensed something and looked into the distance.
Seeing this sudden action, Zhang Li and the others subconsciously looked in the direction of the ghost infant. Was there something there?
"Xi 'er, are you leaving?" Tiantian understood when she saw Ghost Baby looking back at her.
Ghost Baby nodded.
Then, it ran away. However, after running for more than ten steps, it stopped where it was and turned around, imitating a small action that Tiantian often did-waving.
"Goodbye, Xi 'er."
Tiantian covered her mouth and giggled.
Zhang Li and the other girl hurriedly waved their hands and said goodbye. If it were other children, they would say that they would come and play often. However, when they saw the ghost infant, they stopped and couldn't say it. They felt that they still needed time to calm down and ease the turbulent waves in their hearts!
Ghost Baby ran away.
He disappeared on the spot.
"Tiantian, is it going home?" Zhuang Suhua asked.
She felt that it was a little strange. The little ghost baby's actions seemed to have another meaning. It was not going home.
Hearing this, Zhang Li also looked over. Tiantian nodded." I'm not going home. Xi 'er has other things to do."”
"Does Tiantian know what's going on?”
Tiantian looked troubled by her mother and grandmother's questions." Tiantian doesn't know. Tiantian doesn't understand what Xi 'er means either.”
She couldn't fully understand Xi 'er's words.
Just like the last time she asked Xi 'er about chasing away the bad uncle, she did not understand what Xi' er said.
"Only uncle can understand what Xi 'er said.”Tiantian thought of something and raised her head." Uncle understands Xi 'er the most.”
“……”
“……”
When Zhang Li heard this, they both smiled bitterly.
Of course, Lord Shing Wong understood. Lord Shing Wong was an omnipotent immortal.
The next moment, Tiantian's childish voice sounded again.
"Mom, Grandma, Tiantian doesn't know exactly what Xi 'er went to do, but Tiantian guessed that Xi' er's departure has something to do with that bad thing who wanted to bully us.”
As Tiantian spoke, her little cheeks puffed up like Xi 'er's and she poked her own little face.
……
In the distance.
Ghost Baby hid his body and quickly headed north.
Its cheeks were still puffed up. It did not explain why it did that.
Only it knew that it did not eat the little paper doll because it wanted to find another paper doll!
The ghost infant didn't know what the origin ghost was, but when it was using the paper doll, it instinctively felt that it was useful to it and wanted to eat it. After eating the paper doll, the ghost infant instinctively used its own strength to find the origin ghost through the paper doll!
It instinctively knew that there was a ghost controlling this little paper doll. It wanted to kill the source ghost.
After running for a while.
The ghost baby stopped and stood at a crossroad that was full of cars.
It looked back and forth, its small mouth moved, and its nose sniffed slightly. In the next second, it continued to head north.
South District of Nanming City.
It was a self-built house with decades of history.
It looked old on the outside, but the interior was brand new. It was recently renovated.
"Grandpa, we're back." Wang Xintong happily held her boyfriend's hand and walked into the self-built house.
Today was Saturday, and their family was used to having a three-generation gathering every holiday.
In the living room.
There were six people, an old man, two middle-aged couples, and a young man.
This old man was one of the members of the team that was researching the history of Lord Shing Wong in the mountains of Cang City's suburbs. He was Professor Chang Xingde, a professor at a key university in another city.
Chang Xingde looked at his granddaughter, Wang Xintong, happily.
He had a son and a daughter who were both married. His youngest daughter married a PhD student and his granddaughter, Wang Xintong. The house he was living in now used to be his, but it was now occupied by his son and daughter.
"Let me see if my baby Little Tong has gained weight or lost weight.”he said with a smile.
Compared to his grandson, Chang Xingde doted on his granddaughter more. It wasn't that he valued his daughter more than his son, but his grandson was too much of a grandson. He was too playful and his grades were average. This was a disgrace to his family's reputation as a doctor.
Chang Xingde was a professor with a PhD, and so were his son and daughter.
Now, his granddaughter was not a doctor, but her boyfriend was a doctor in the medical department. At the age of thirty-two, he had rich qualifications and studied abroad. Now, he was the director of internal medicine at Cang City Chinese Medical Hospital.
"You've gained weight."
"You should have lost weight." Wang Xintong pouted and said unhappily.
She didn't want anyone to say that she was fat.
Hearing this.
Chang Xingde laughed.
"You girls of the new era like to be thin.”He shook his head helplessly." What's wrong with being fat? It's good fortune to be fat."”
Then he looked at Wang Xintong's boyfriend, Huo Mingliang.
"Little Liang, come and sit here."
" Okay, Grandpa Chang, this is for you…" Huo Mingliang took out the gifts that he had prepared beforehand and gave them to Xiaotong's parents, uncle, aunt, and cousin.
"So what if she's here? Why did she bring a gift?”
Chang Xingde shook his head and looked at Wang Xintong." Little Tong, when do you plan to get married?"”
"Next year." Wang Xintong said happily.
"Next year is good. Have you decided on a specific date?”
"Dad, not yet. Xiao Liang said that he wanted to ask someone to read his fortune.”Wang Xintong's mother said.
Chang Xingde nodded.
He looked at Huo Mingliang with a smile." Liang performed a surgery well a few days ago.”
"Hmm?"
The people in the room were stunned by Chang Xingde's sudden words. What did he mean?
Seeing everyone's doubts, Chang Xingde didn't keep them in suspense.
"Liang, did you meet an old man who had a car accident a few days ago?”
"Yes."
At the mention of the old man in the car accident, Huo Mingliang immediately thought of the old lady called Tian Hua who had a car accident a few days ago.
Tian Hua was still fresh in his memory.
He was an old man who had been resurrected from the dead. Moreover, this old man had a terrifying background. Later on, he paid special attention to it and realized that the address and identity of this hospital for the elderly were very ordinary. However, because of a car accident, three of Cang City's top experts were directly involved in the operation. They were also leading the operation with him to ensure that the operation was successful.
This was the first time Huo Mingliang had encountered something like this. He would be lying if he said he wasn't shocked.
This was probably the treatment of a provincial cadre, and only those who had made outstanding contributions could receive it.
"Grandpa Chang, do you know that old man? Who is she?"
Huo Mingliang asked.
"Identity? Is it very powerful?" Cousin said in surprise.
"It's more than powerful…"
Huo Mingliang shook his head and sighed. Then, he told them about the three experts who had intervened.
Hearing this, everyone present, except for Chang Xingde and Wang Xintong, was stunned.
"Is it the former General of Generals? A meritorious soldier during the war?" Wang Xintong's uncle spoke and looked at Chang Xingde.
Everyone knew that Chang Xingde must have some ears and ears when he mentioned this matter. He even knew the old man?
Chang Xingde shook his head slightly.
He knew about Tian Hua because Tian Hua's grandson was an elite ghost controller of the younger generation in Cang City. He happened to be in Cang City during this period of time, so he had heard about it. It was difficult for him not to know about the resurrection.
Then, he looked at Huo Mingliang." That old woman's identity isn't special. What's special is her family. But don't investigate this matter. It won't do you any good."”
He wasn't trying to keep her in suspense.
The less he knew about the Ghost Controlling Bureau, the better. No one in his family knew about his work.
Hearing this.
Everyone fell silent.
They knew a little about Chang Xingde's work.
They were working for the government and seemed to be doing some secret research. They did not know what it was exactly, but it was a secret. They were able to know this because they were related to Chang Xingde.
"Liang, tell me about the old man's resurrection. I'm more curious about this. Although I know about this operation, I don't know what happened after.”
Chang Xingde did not mention this to brag, but to know how Tian Hua had come back from the dead.
He was quite interested in this matter.
"There's still resurrection?"
Cousin's mouth was wide open." What's going on with this world? Why is it suddenly becoming a fantasy?"”
The family sat there chatting, listening to Huo Mingliang talk about the surgery and the miraculous recovery of Tian Hua's body.
While they were talking.
In the shadows of the street outside the self-built house.
There was a white figure standing there. It was not a person, but the kind of paper man that would appear during funerals to burn the dead. There was clearly no one holding a funeral nearby, but this paper man was strangely placed there.
The paper-tied person was looking at the self-built house in the distance.
He saw Wang Xintong and Huo Mingliang walking into the house.
In an instant, the paper man moved and walked towards the self-built house. When he passed by the street lamp, the street lamp flashed and then returned to normal as the paper man left.
Huo Mingliang's cousin's surprised expression didn't fade.
He felt his mouth go dry after listening to too much content and went to get some water to drink.
Suddenly, he saw a white paper figure standing outside the window. A face drawn on it was looking inside with neither joy nor sadness.
"Ah!" Cousin was frightened by the scene he saw from the corner of his eye. His hand trembled and the hot tea in his hand spilled onto his hand, scalding him so much that he cried out.
"What are you doing?"
His parents looked at him with reproachful expressions." You're so careless.”
"No, it's not that I was careless. There was something outside the window that scared me. Eh, where did it go?”? His cousin quickly spoke up. He looked out of the window and realized that the paper man was gone.
"Is there anything outside the window?"
"I didn't see anything."
"It's true. I saw a…what was that again? Yes, it was the kind of paper figurine that was burned to death.”
"Paper people?"
"Yes, yes, Grandpa is right. It's a paper man.”
When Chang Xingde heard this, his old eyes looked out of the window in confusion.
Then, he looked at his grandson and said with a serious expression," Little Dong, did you see wrongly?”
He was suspicious.
If he hadn't come into contact with the ghost controller circle, he wouldn't have taken his grandson's words seriously. However, he had come into contact with them and knew that there were malicious ghosts in this world. Now that his grandson had suddenly said that he had seen a paper man standing outside the window, he subconsciously became vigilant.
The next moment, he was hesitating whether he should call the Ghost Controlling Bureau and tell them.
Sizzle--
Suddenly, the lights in the living room flickered.
"Ah!" Chang Xingde's daughter shouted as she looked at the open kitchen in horror.
There was a paper man standing there.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat…When did this thing appear?
" Quick, let's go out!!"
Chang Xingde's hair stood on end, his old face terrified to the extreme.
He knew that something bad had happened.
They had been targeted by a malicious ghost…a Source Ghost!
With a snap, the lights went out, and everyone's vision fell into darkness. They could not adapt to it for a moment, and their eyes went dark.
The next second, the lights lit up again.
The paper man's position changed. In just a second, he was standing in the living room. It was as if he had moved quickly here and stood still.
This scene terrified Wang Xintong and the others.
Even without Chang Xingde shouting, they knew that they had encountered an inconceivable and terrifying thing.
"This is a malicious ghost. Get out quickly."
Chang Xingde shouted, his old face showing a look of farewell." Escape!”
He quickly pounced on the paper man. He wanted to use his life to buy time for his children, grandchildren, and grandchildren.
"Dad/Grandpa/Grandpa Chang!"
Everyone was shocked and did not understand why Chang Xingde was doing this.
At this moment.
The paper-tied man moved, and the temperature in the room plummeted. The lights flickered.
He saw Chang Xingde pouncing over.
"I'll fight it out with you." Chang Xingde growled.
Her hands moved.
He didn't grab at Chang Xingde, but instead reached to the side.
Bang!
The tightly shut window suddenly opened, and an even more terrifying cold wind swept in, causing the chandelier on the ceiling to sway back and forth, blowing the curtains into the air.
A white figure suddenly flew in and headed towards the paper man.
With a boom, the two collided.
The paper-tied person staggered back three steps. Everything in its path shattered, forming a layer of Yin Qi frost that was extremely cold.
On the other side.
Chang Xingde, Wang Xintong, and the others saw clearly what the white figure that flew out of the window was.
A small figure, the ghost baby!
Its skin was pale and bloodless, and it wore a terrifying white shroud. The sleeves of the shroud swayed in the wind, and there was a mask on its head with a dead man's smiling face. It made people's scalps go numb, and they couldn't help but want to smile that strange smile.
Ghost Baby took two steps back.
It stood on the table and stared at the paper man.
Wang Xintong and the others saw the ghost infant chewing something with its puffy cheeks, and then swallowed it with a gulp.
"S-class ghost infant." Chang Xingde widened his eyes.
At this moment, because of the appearance of the ghost baby, he stopped his pounce and knelt on the ground, just at the same level as the table. When he turned his head, he could see the ghost baby's small figure close at hand.
Chang Xingde recognized the identity of the little figure that had protected him from the papier-mache people and blocked them.
This was a different type of ghost-king-level evil spirit that had appeared in Xixi City-Ghost Baby!
At the same time.
It had another identity that was even more terrifying.
The ghost baby raised by Lord Shing Wong.
The ghost infant sensed Chang Xingde's gaze and turned to look at him.
In an instant.
Chang Xingde and Ghost Baby's eyes met, and his body instantly trembled.
The next moment, Ghost Baby retracted his gaze and rushed towards the paper man. The paper man had already moved at this time. He didn't move, but he moved as if he was teleporting. In the blink of an eye, he moved to a different position.
Puff ~~
Ghost Baby threw out a handful of incense ashes.
When the paper man was touched by the incense ash, blue ghost fire rose from his body, emitting a bone-chilling Yin Qi. The paper man's body immediately burned.
Its body was trembling and shaking violently as it retreated continuously. Its hands were waving wildly as if it wanted to pat away the incense ashes that had fallen on its body.
The paper-tied man did not let out a mournful cry, but Wang Xintong and the others instinctively felt that the ghost was in great pain. If it was not for the paper-tied man, it would have cried out long ago.
Suddenly, Ghost Baby slapped him.
Bang!
The paper man's head was knocked off, and the paper head rolled on the ground.
Over there.
Ghost Baby reacted quickly and jumped onto the headless body of the paper-tied man. He took out a small handful of incense ashes from the small brocade bag.
Because the Paper Man was missing a head, the Yin Qi inside the Paper Man's body could be seen from its neck. Ghost Baby's hand that was holding the incense ash reached in and threw the ash in.
Boom!
The paper man's body was burning with a dark flame. In a few breaths, it was burned into wisps of ghostly smoke and disappeared.
Ghost Baby fell to the ground.
It looked around as if it was looking for the paper man's head that it had slapped.
Then, Ghost Baby looked to the corner.
There was a paper stuck in his head.
The paper-tied man's head rolled over and finally hit the wall before bouncing off.
At this moment, a shadow pressed down on him. A small figure stood in front of him, blocking the light that was cast over. The shadow covered everything.
At this moment.
The paper doll, which had been silent all this while, had a change in its facial features. Its eyes moved.
He looked up.
He saw the ghost infant approach him. He saw the little figure bend down. He saw a pair of pale hands with black nails reach over and hold his head.
After a while, a hissing sound came from a small corner.
It was the sound of paper being torn…
