Tang Yuanyuan and Zhen ran from the walkway on the lower floor where the ghost baby was to the agreed meeting point. Even though they were one floor away from the building, they could still hear the loud sound of the ghost baby moving on the walkway.
Yi Huai's plan to use the female ghost to lure the ghost infant seemed to be going well, because the source of the huge marching noise had been moving along the destination meeting point, even at a speed not much slower than them running on the unimpeded lower level.
"It's really a terrible noise..." Tang Yuanyuan sighed with emotion while hurriedly walking with Zhen, looking up at the ceiling separated by only one wall. However, Zhen who was following her complained:
"You didn't seem to feel this way when you were being chased by a ghost baby when you were making yourself a bait."
"Oh, you can't tolerate distracting thoughts when you are running for your life. You can't think too much at that time." Tang Yuanyuan smiled, "You really have to be the calmest when you have to face a crisis. A little carelessness can lead to serious consequences. It was fate."
"But Yuan Yuan, you are more daring than I thought..." Tsumu looked up at her and narrowed his eyes, "In the past, when you faced these things alone, were you as risky as you are now? Did you just Many of the choices I made had a low probability of success, and it seemed a bit too random."
"When I'm alone, I won't actually take that risk... In fact, this is the first time I've faced such a thrilling thing." Tang Yuanyuan shook his head, "In fact, it seems that this has not been the case for me for so long. This is the first time I have encountered such a troublesome ghost... and even if I encounter a slightly troublesome one, it seems that I can get some special favor..."
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject and said:
"I don't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate. I encountered this kind of thing after I got to know you. If I had dealt with it by myself before, maybe I wouldn't be able to talk here anymore."
She sighed softly as she said that, looked at her in silence for a moment, and then suddenly said something.
"But Yuan Yuan, have you ever thought that maybe you encountered this kind of thing just because you met us?"
As soon as it said this, Tang Yuanyuan's steps slowed down for a moment, but soon everything returned to the original state. She narrowed her eyes and smiled helplessly at it:
"Then maybe it's my fate to face this, right?"
"Since it is fate, I will have to face it sooner or later." She said, "This unusual ability and these unusual fates that I have have their own cause and effect, even if I escape all of this If you don’t face it, they will come one day, so I can only choose to accept and face it in the best state.”
"Actually, this incident may have been caused by us. It is not difficult to detect in the process of dealing with ghost babies and female ghosts... But the deeper reason behind why we are targeted seems to be This requires further consideration.”
"After this incident is over, there may be some things I need to ask Yi Huai..."
At the end of her words, her voice became quieter and quieter, until it turned into a couple of murmurs. At this time, one person and one fox happened to arrive at the corner of the corridor where they were at the beginning.
When they got here, they were very close to the meeting point, and the movement of the ghost baby seemed to be getting closer and closer to them, which meant that the final finishing work was close at hand, so Tang Yuanyuan calmed down and concentrated again. Be prepared to face the ghost baby again at any time.
And just when she and Tsui arrived at the end of the corridor and turned around to go up the stairs, she froze in place the moment she raised her eyes.
Because there was a boy standing on the corridor where no one should be.
The boy she was most wary of since arriving here.
The boy was wearing an old-style gray and black Hanfu with upper and lower layers. He stood on the highest step of the stairs with his hands behind his back. He looked at her appearance and showed a long-awaited emotion. He lowered his eyes and looked at her face. chuckle.
But Tang Yuanyuan looked at his face and almost felt that his breathing stopped for a moment.
This was the first time she had seen the boy's face completely. She finally knew where the inexplicable familiarity she saw from him came from after she had missed the moment of facing the boy so many times before.
Because the boy's face was more than just familiar to her. Apart from his appearance, which was a little childish, his facial features and face were almost exactly the same as Yi Huai's!
After she and him looked at each other briefly, he suddenly smiled and spoke.
"Yuanyuan."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
His childlike voice echoed in her ears, and his red eyes stared at her so cleanly that they seemed to reflect her face.
He smiled and told her it's been a long time, but Tang Yuanyuan couldn't find the boy's shadow in his memory.
But the answer to any question quietly emerged in Tang Yuanyuan's heart at this moment.
He seemed to know himself. Since he could greet her like this and say such firm words as "Long time no see", it meant that his target was clearly him.
Do you know him yourself? Tang Yuanyuan looked at the boy's face and asked himself this question in his heart, but he couldn't give an answer.
The boy did give her a sense of familiarity that she didn't know where. The moment she saw his face clearly, she thought that this sense of familiarity came from Yi Huai, whom she knew who was very similar to him. But she didn't know why when the other person opened his mouth, she Looking at the picture that looked very similar to Yi Huai's, I suddenly felt that they were two completely different beings.
But they didn't seem to have much ill intentions towards themselves.
This was Tang Yuanyuan's intuition, because when she looked at the boy, she could feel that he didn't seem to have any intention of attacking her, and he even stood there in a gesture of greeting an old friend.
Every look and action of the boy in front of him, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, revealed a maturity that was incompatible with a child. It was not difficult to feel that this appearance was just a disguise for him.
"...Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?"
After a brief moment of silence, Tang Yuanyuan spoke like this, but did not make any other moves at the same place. He did not approach rashly or turn around to escape, but just looked at him nervously.
Because even though she suddenly realized that the other party's target was her, she didn't know the purpose of the boy appearing here at this time, so she felt that she couldn't act rashly.
But could he really just say hello to her?
If he was really the mastermind behind all these incidents, and he really showed up just to say hello to her, then his motives were worth speculating on.
As the sound of Tsumugi's teeth gnashing at the boy sounded behind her ears, the boy spoke again and gave an answer to her question.
"You know me, Yuan Yuan, you need to remember my name by yourself." He said this and tilted his head, still with that smile, "As for what I want to do, it is not that important at this time. ."
"I know you have noticed that these are my handiwork, but this is just an attempt. I have no expectations for its results, and I don't care what it will look like. For me, being able to see it like this Meeting you is my biggest gain.”
Tang Yuanyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked:
"Is it really you who caused the deforestation here?"
"That's true, but it was not successful. It was far from the effect I wanted, and so were the two raised ghosts." He showed a somewhat helpless expression to her, and continued, "Next, I will The spiritual influence will be released soon and the place will be restored, so you don’t have to worry about the place not being able to be restored after you deal with the failure.”
Has your conscience discovered this?
Tang Yuanyuan found it incredible that this kind of "villain" would jump out and admit what he had done, but the boy did not seem to care about the outcome of all this, as if all this was really just an attempt in his mouth, and here was just being The experimental site he chose.
"You use these things to do experiments..." Tang Yuanyuan gritted his teeth mid-sentence and did not say any other words with his own subjective emotions.
To the boy, doing these catalyzing ghosts and creating shore realms seemed like trivial matters that could be repeated countless times. Even restoring the "experimental field" after completing the experiment didn't seem to be a big deal. He was not a human being and would not have human values, so She couldn't talk about useless things to vent her emotions.
That made no sense, and had no value other than possibly irritating the boy.
The boy's understatement made Tang Yuanyuan feel slightly annoyed and scared at the same time.
A so-called test can easily affect such a large environment and create those two troublesome ghosts. The strength of the boy in front of him seems unfathomable. If he shows hostility to his party at this time, he really has to fight them personally. In a fight, she didn't think that Zun and Yi Huai, who were currently in a weak stage, plus herself, could be their enemies.
So Tang Yuanyuan didn't say anything more. He just looked at the boy and fell into silence after he finished speaking.
The latter didn't seem to mind her reaction and didn't say anything more.
The sound of the ghost baby walking on the corridor had become very close during the brief exchange of words between them. The boy stood on the steps and turned his head to look at the teaching corridor behind him, looking at the approaching The ghost baby sighed silently.
Then he stepped down the steps and approached Tang Yuanyuan's direction.
Tang Yuanyuan and Zhen were so nervous because of his sudden move that they were ready to stay away from him at any time.
But the boy didn't do anything extra. He just walked down the stairs slowly. It wasn't until he passed by Tang Yuanyuan and were walking on the stairs less than one meter apart that he paused, turned his head slightly and rushed again. She smiled and said:
"The guy I didn't want to see was about to show up, so I took the first step."
"The rest of the matter will be left to you, Yuan Yuan, let's deal with that failure together with them. Thank you for your hard work."
His words were so soft that they only fell on Tang Yuanyuan's ears, and then he walked down again and passed her.
Feeling the chill from him as he walked past her, Tang Yuanyuan subconsciously turned back to look at the boy who passed her, but his figure completely disappeared behind her before landing on the corridor on the next floor. .
The next second, the ghost baby rushing from the other end of the corridor hit the wall at this end of the corridor, making a deafening sound.
