Chapter Four
"Baji...baji..."
In some dark rooms, not-so-high chewing sounds kept coming from it.
"Well...why did the sound change?"
Outside the room, Old Man Li, who had just made up his mind to report to the official, listened to the sound coming from his ears, and a weathered old face showed a hint of doubt.
Out of concern for his daughter, Old Man Li took a few steps to the door, then reached out to the door.
"Pu"
With a light sound, the old door slowly opened a crack.
Before the door was fully opened, Old Man Li opened his eyes wide and looked into the room.
This look made Old Man Li's eyes widen, and his black and yellow face instantly filled with fear.
In the room that is not as bright as a baby the size of a few months old, the ghost baby is blue and black all over, holding a heart and eating it in big mouthfuls.
Under it, the young girl whose breath had disappeared and her entire belly was completely broken was quietly standing on the bed.
Although the ghost baby is small, he eats the heart very quickly. In just a few breaths, the whole heart is completely swallowed by it.
Kill the "food" in your hand, and the ghost baby's body size immediately increased by a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, its limbs stood on the young girl's body, and its body turned and looked at Old Man Li.
"What the hell is this?"
Old Man Li was still standing at the door. His face was pale and his legs couldn't help but tremble. Just now, because he was too shocked, he missed the best opportunity to escape.
Now that he was staring at the ghost baby, Old Man Li felt cold all over his body. Only then did he remember to run away quickly, but found that his legs were a little out of control.
“Meow!”
Just when Old Man Li was extremely panicked, the ghost baby opened his mouth and made a shrill sound like a wild cat howling.
The next moment, the ghost baby's body ejected from the young woman's body at a very fast speed and rushed to Old Man Li in an instant.
Moreover, with a "pop", the sound of body being torn out came from the door. The ghost baby's palm with sharp claws tore open Old Man Li's skin and took out a beating heart.
The ghost baby's series of movements was extremely fast, and Old Man Li could not react at all.
"Puff..."
Old Man Li's heart was forcibly taken out, and after opening his mouth and spitting out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes stared at the strange creature hanging on him.
Then, within a few seconds, he widened his eyes and lay down at the door of the room with his eyes open.
Not long after Old Man Li died, the ghost baby with the second heart "growns" again, and his limbs moved and his body jumped into the shadow and disappeared.
…………
Time passed quickly, and it was already late at night in the blink of an eye.
It was a dark and windy night.
"The weather is dry, be careful of the candle."
A clear sound rang out on the silent and deserted streets.
Zhang Dazhuang beat the gong and was so exhausted that he was so tired that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry.
"Strange, why is the street so quiet today?"
While calling for the update, he opened his eyes wide and looked around.
Zhang Dazhuang always felt that something was wrong today.
Although the streets were quieter in the past, they were not as quiet as they are now, with no sound at all, which was simply terrible.
After walking for a while, Zhang Dazhuang, who felt something was wrong more and more, couldn't help but speed up his pace. He always felt that something was following him.
"Pu...pu..."
The crisp sound of footsteps kept echoing in the silent streets.
Zhang Dazhuang walked alone on the street with a gong, walking alone on the deserted street, his pace was in a hurry, and his steps were getting faster and faster.
He looked back and forth as he walked.
However, Zhang Dazhuang found that the faster he walked, the more scared he felt.
So, Zhang Dazhuang stopped, took out a fire squeak from his arms with a little trembling hand, blew it up, and raised it around.
With the light emitted by the burning of the fire stick, Zhang Dazhuang finally saw some of the surrounding scenes in this dark night.
The surroundings are covered with cold bluestone walls, old and dilapidated. This is an old city area, and the surrounding houses have been around for some years.
Zhang Dazhuang had a fire pie in his hand, and felt that he was a little bolder. Under the flashing light of the flames, he turned around but found nothing.
"Strange, is it my illusion?"
After discussing the situation around him, Zhang Dazhuang muttered to himself and walked towards his home.
Zhang Dazhuang did not extinguish the fire note in his hand. Although he did not find any abnormality after investigation just now, he instinctively did not want to extinguish it.
Tonight, it was so quiet that he didn't hear a sound along the way.
However, not long after Zhang Dazhuang left, a black shadow suddenly flashed past him.
"who!"
Zhang Dazhuang immediately let out a surprise shout, and immediately turned around and looked towards the direction where the black shadow rushed over.
However, when he carefully held the fire note and walked a distance in the direction where the shadow flew over, he still found nothing.
"What the hell?"
Staying alone in this quiet and deserted street, Zhang Dazhuang was very scared now. He was sure that he was not dazzled just now, and a black shadow must have run over him.
Because the fire note he was holding was almost blown out by the wind brought about by the figure running.
Faced with this strange situation, Zhang Dazhuang no longer cared about anything else. He tightened the fire in his hand, moved his footsteps and walked home without looking back.
However, just after Zhang Dazhuang walked out this time, a black shadow flashed past him again and wiped out the fire broke out in his hand.
This time, Zhang Dazhuang didn't care what was running past him, nor did he care about the extinguished fire notes.
He determined the direction to go home, tied his steps, and ran home desperately.
“Meow…”
Suddenly, a shrill hissing sounded not far behind Zhang Dazhuang.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill hissing sound came from Zhang Dazhuang from all directions.
“Meow!!!”
As the sound rang out, several blue and black figures of different sizes flashed in the night and rushed towards Zhang Dazhuang who was running.
Just at this moment, a breeze blew, blowing away some of the dark clouds blocking the sky.
The cold moonlight was cast, and through the moonlight, you could see five ghost babies rushing towards Zhang Dazhuang.
These ghost babies are only the size of a one-year-old baby, but the big ones look like Haitong two or three years old.
Shortly after the five ghost babies started to move, a muffled groan sounded on the dark streets, followed by a strange chewing sound.
"Baji...baji..."
At the same time, in the palace of the royal palace, in the yard where Xu Ming lived.
Xu Ming was still sitting upright at the table. Next to him was Wang Dahai, who looked anxious and frowning, and Xiaoyuan, a little girl who was biting her pen in a daze.
"Mr. Xu, it's late this night. What exactly are you waiting for? Will it stop coming?"
Wang Dahai leaned against the table in a state of ease, his face full of haggardness. He was already old and sat in the yard for so long, and with his anxiety for many days, he was now exhausted physically and mentally.
"Wait for another half an hour. If you don't come, Mr. Wang, please go back and rest."
Xu Ming looked at the sky after hearing this, and then replied slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly changed, and with a sharp gaze, he suddenly looked towards the gate of the palace.
“It’s coming!”
