"You stupid! The computer can't be turned off anyway. You won't splash your instant noodles on it!"

Xiao Xia stood in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"This - this is over?"

"Isn't that all?" Bao Datong shrugged, "Next time, this kind of thing happens. Don't forget to chant the water spell before watering the computer. Look, your computer is not plugged in, but it still burns. This is the credit for the magic."

"Spell?"

"It's a spell." Bao Datong was so proud that he didn't feel that Xiao Xia's tone was wrong, "Hasn't you taught you the Five Elements Forbidden Method?"

"Teaching me?"

"Absolutely taught!"

"Okay, I'll pay me the computer." Xiao Xia was scared at first, but now she was angry. She stretched out her hand to Bao Datong angrily, "Wouldn't you just drive it away from the computer? If you could splash water, why would I ask you to do?"

"That--it's more labor-saving."

"Save effort, right? Then pay me a new computer, otherwise I will let you not have to work hard for the rest of your life and keep lying in bed and waiting to die!" Xiao Xia said as she jumped out of bed and closed the door of the wardrobe one by one.

"Where do I have money?"

"Then you continue to cheat on the rich man. I don't care. You must compensate me!" This is her second computer that has been broken in the past year. Last time it was because of Guan Zheng. This time it was because of the missing child. She had no money to buy new ones. Moreover, all the information she saved was in it. She will show it to her friend tomorrow. If the hard drive is not broken, see if some of the data can be restored.

"Okay okay!" Bao Datong saw that Xiao Xia was really upset, so he had to agree, "Let's turn around and stick a talisman on the computer, just like a mobile phone, so that the evil spirit can't perform illusions through the computer."

"If it intentionally looks for me, there will be a channel everywhere. Have you discovered it? Although it cannot enter this room directly, it can affect me through many media." Xiao Xia sighed, "Forget it, let it do whatever it wants, as long as I can notify you at any time." She shook her phone.

A big head sticker for Bao Datong was posted on the back of the phone, which was actually used to cover up the talisman he drew. If it weren't for this talisman, she wouldn't have called Bao Datong just now when the evil spirit sealed all contacts with the outside world. In fact, she was not calling the phone, but directly notifying Bao Datong about the critical situation here through the talisman.

"By the way, is Wanli back?" Xiaoxia asked.

"not yet."

“Is there so much backlog of work?”

"This - I think, how do you say it? I will not sow discord, but his whereabouts are very doubtful. He should be not doing his job." Bao Datong squeezed his eyes mischievously, "I think you should not wait for him, so you should go downstairs to play for a while. There are many people there, and there is also Master Bao, I will sit in the formation myself." He knew that Xiao Xia's work information was on the computer, and now he obviously could not continue working, so he suggested.

Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, I want to sleep for a while, and I will act as planned in a few hours. I don't want to take Panda Eye to work tomorrow."

"Aren't you afraid of being upstairs alone?"

"I'm afraid. But there's no way. I have to face it myself. I can't always let others protect me. Remember for me, I'm a partner, not a burden!" Xiao Xia paused and said, "Besides, as long as you put the phone and the electric socket on a spell, there will be no direct medium for contact with the outside world. It has only had a fight. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to bother me again."

Bao Datong nodded, "You are right. Azhan's formation is still useful, otherwise such a powerful thing would not rack his brains to get closer to you in other ways. But this made me more and more curious, why is it so interested in you?"

"I hope it will turn a blind eye to me." Xiao Xia was extremely upset. Is his horoscope really that bad? "Stop talking nonsense, draw talismans!"

At Xiaoxia's urging, Bao Datong returned to his room opposite, took out the small wooden box, took the paper and pen to draw the talisman, and then stuck it on the landline and plug-in hole. The small wooden box was full of very special evil-repelling objects, and even the paper, pen and cinnabar used to draw the talisman have spiritual power, so it has great effect.

Now it's not too late to fix the problem. After Bao Datong finished these repairs, she could sleep for a while. Because Yangyang's mother came back a day early, Bao Datong put a ban on Yangyang's family, so they have no worries now.

Xiao Xia cleaned up the messy room, then lay on the bed, reached out to take out a small blood-wood sword from under the pillow and pressed it against her chest.

"Ruan Zhan." She murmured softly, as if just calling his name would make her peaceful, "You want to come back safely."

The Blood Wood Sword seemed to understand that Xiao Xia was calling its owner, trembling very slightly, and Xiao Xia slowly fell asleep in this throbbing.

………………………………………

"We're just waiting stupidly?"

At midnight, Xiaoxia and Wanli were sitting in Ruan Zhan's car and parked outside a newly built residential community.

"Sometimes waiting for the rabbit is better than running around." Wanli adjusted his seat to make himself more comfortable, not as nervous as Xiao Xia at all. It seemed that he was going to watch a movie instead of tracking the evil spirits. This made Xiao Xia admire and a little worried.

But Wanli is right. This city is too big. They only have two people. They may miss the evil spirit on any street. When waiting in a selected place, the probability of finding clues is greater.

"Why choose here?"

"Because this is one of several places with weak defense," Wanli explained. "Since the police issued an announcement to ask parents of children of appropriate age to pay attention to their children, some children continued to disappear. Parents who lost their children said that even if they don't sleep, they will inexplicably be confused about the personnel and affairs at a certain time. Those who keep dogs at home do not even bark, and the children will be gone after waking up. What you should know is that this incident has caused collective panic in the city. In this case, the police have tried their best and dispatched a lot of police forces to patrol at night. I think that no matter how powerful the evil evil is, he will not dare to confront such a large number of police officers with extremely evil spirits everywhere. It will definitely be more careful, or dare not take action, or take advantage of places with weak police force."

“Is the police force unevenly distributed?”

"It was caused by insufficient police force, but this was a major case, and the loophole will be filled soon, but before that, it was more dangerous for children."

"Where did you investigate these situations?"

"The information involved in this matter is top secret, so how can I find out? I'm guessing." Wanli knocked Xiaoxia in the head, "You think, the previous cases happened in the city, and the police force would of course be concentrated there. This is a new community at the junction of the city and the suburbs. Even the police station has not been established yet, so how can I get some time to deploy defenses?"

"You want to get it, the police are not stupid, of course they want it too."

"Yes, I want to find that not only us, but also the evil spirits will understand this. But even though I think about it, there will certainly be some emphasis when there is insufficient strength. In fact, patrolmen are also arranged here, but they are not just setting up a net of heaven and earth like in the city."

"There is a patrolman?" Xiao Xia looked into the rearview mirror, "Have you ever thought that we would be troublesome to do this. If the patrolman saw a man and a woman not sleeping in the middle of the night and sitting in the car sneakily, he might have regarded us as suspects!"

Wanli smiled and looked at Xiaoxia without saying a word.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You also say it's a man and a woman, sneaky. Then we'll just pretend to be **? Speaking of this, sit down and when a patrol officer comes to doubt us, we'll be in a bunch. You know, sometimes body language can tell the problem."

Xiao Xia slapped Wanli in the arm, "Stop talking nonsense! You are so hateful, I'm so nervous! What if we really encounter it?"

Wanli smiled again, and once again there was no answer.

I have been very busy recently and many more things have happened. Of course, because of the hateful Bao Datong, he has not been alone like Xiaoxia for a long time. The familiar, warm and relaxed feeling between the two has always been something he likes very much. It is a feeling of mutual trust, comfort and a little ambiguousness. This makes him calm and comfortable. Although this beautiful feeling has changed in his heart and gradually evolved into love, he also understands that her feelings for him are still at a stage where there are more friendships and less love than love.

She loves his best friend. He understands this very well, but although his job is to guide others to face their hearts and make the right choices, he is now in chaos, so he simply doesn't touch it. After living for so many years, he has learned a very useful thing - let's put things that cannot be solved first, and time will decide everything for you.

"What do you want to ask you, what should I do if I encounter that evil spirit in a while?" Xiao Xia slapped Wanli again.

"Follow the missing child!" Wan Lila replied, "From Zhang Jialin to now, fifteen children have been missing, and there is no report of missing children leaving the market, so there must be a place to hide unless they have entered the evil spirit's stomach."

He spoke calmly, but Xiao Xia shivered when she heard it. She could not imagine that there would be human-eating demons hidden in such a bustling city. What kind of world is this? How many secrets are there in the crowd without any trace? Maybe everyone is extremely glamorous, but every corner also has the most shameful desire!

"Actually, the police are already looking for a hiding place because they can't speculate that all this was done by evil spirits. At most, they will speculate that it is a pervert attacking the child. But this city is too big and they need time. I think we should try our best to solve this matter. If it doesn't work, we must also strive to destroy it. It can save one or the other, and it can indirectly help the police."

"I understand." Xiaoxia nodded.

The two stopped talking and just sat quietly in the car, staring at the darkness around them seriously.

This is a newly built area. Not only are there some dirt roads, but there is not a single street light. It is pitch black and dead. It is on an open space next to it with long grass. From time to time, the chirping of summer insects comes from the sky, and some small insects emit a glimmer of stars. This quiet summer night should have made people feel peaceful, but at this moment, Xiaoxia feels that she is at the scene of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Even the night wind blowing into the car window makes her feel a little cold. Just like now, she suddenly feels that the wind is getting a little heavy.

She sat upright and felt Wanli stretching out her warm big hand to press it on the back of her hand, so that she could not rest assured. But she could feel Wanli's whole body tense, turning her head to her, staring at the open space outside the window.

In the grass, a rustling sound came. Their eyes that had adapted to the darkness could see the grass moving in a mess, as if something was walking under the grass and heading towards the roadside behind them.

This scene made Wanli make a quick decision and take out two invisible talismans left by Ruan Zhan and stick them to his and Xiaoxia's shoulders.

In the rearview mirror, they saw the grass moving for a while, and a small figure emerged from it.

It was a little girl about five years old, wearing a beautiful red gauze skirt, small sandals, and short hair. Although she couldn't see her facial features clearly, her eyes were like two little fireflies, which reminded Xiao Xia of the ghost children she met in the hospital last time.

Swish--

Another gust of cold wind blew, and the little girl in a daze standing by the road suddenly turned a strange right angle and walked towards them. Her movements were stiff, slow, and shaking, as if she was sleepwalking.

"What should I do?" Xiao Xia asked in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid, we are invisible now." Wan Li held Xiao Xia's hand and felt cold sweat in her tender palm. "As long as you don't speak, it's good." He believed that Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan's skills were no longer comparable, and the invisible talisman he drew must not even see through the evil spirit. Although people with the talisman will see each other, the car is empty in the eyes of people and spirits!

Xiao Xia nodded and watched the little girl come over nervously. The footsteps were rhythmic and heavy, step by step! She prayed that the little girl would stay away from their car body and pass by faster, but every wish was vain. The little girl not only walked past their car body, but also stopped at the door and turned to face the car!

Click-She actually opened the car door and sat in the back seat!

This was definitely an accident. When the sound of closing the door sounded, Xiao Xia looked at Wanli, not knowing what to do. Wanli thought for a while, then blinked at her and smiled gently. She understood that it was telling her not to panic and not to move, and to wait and see what happened first.

Xiao Xia remained motionless and observed the little girl from the rearview mirror. She saw that her facial features were delicate and cute. Although the green light in her eyes was gone, it made Xiao Xia even more creepy-even if she had no expression on her face, the muscles on her face were still marked by being controlled, but the skin on the little girl's face was not moving at all and she didn't breathe. Her eyes kept staring at the front without focusing, like a live doll made of a live person!

For some reason, the doll sat in the car, and she didn't know what she was going to do, so she just sat quietly in the back seat without moving.

‘Do you want to take her away?’ Xiaoxia asked Wanli with her eyes.

Wanli blinked his eyes and shook his head again, meaning 'Of course I have to take her away, but I still have to wait a moment'

Xiao Xia didn't know what he was waiting for, but she didn't refute. After just over ten seconds, she suddenly heard a metal scratching sound from the top of her head, moving forward from the backward direction.

She didn't see anything behind climbing to the roof of the car, but at this moment there was something clearly climbing above their heads.

Hiss - Hiss -

Slowly, the sound reached the front end of the roof, but suddenly there was no movement. After waiting for a while, the front window of the car and a head-on hanging down! Although it was upside down, although the long black hair whirled softly on the front window like a growing weed, Xiaoxia still recognized her at a glance - Zhang Jialin!
Chapter completed!
