804 Midnight Shadow 2

s not a bad person. He knows his limits, and he has a good temper. He won't deceive you... As for the rest, I can't say for sure. I haven't had much interaction with the residents here... But it's bes..."Ah!" I instinctively thought there was a thief!

How could there be a black shadow in my backyard in the middle of the night

I pushed open the window just to get a better look, and then I saw that the shadow seemed to disappear like it was blown away by a late evening breeze!

This...could I have been seeing things

I rubbed my eyes hard, and looked again. There was only that cardboard box in the pavilion below, no dark figures at all!

I stood frozen by the bed, hesitant whether to call my senior brothers to wake them up—someone had broken into our house.

The most valuable thing I have is this house, or maybe the hitching post out front counts as an antique. What would anyone steal from me Medicine, perhaps

And in the blink of an eye, it vanished. I even wondered if I had mistaken the pillar's shadow for a person.

My heart is a little nervous. It feels like ever since I met the bad person, there's been a scary atmosphere that just won't go away.

I took a large gulp of warm water to suppress my emotions, closed the window, and sat back on the bed in the darkness.

There seemed to be something strange in the air inside the room. I suddenly looked up and gazed outside the screen.

This is a bedroom decorated in an ancient style. Inside, there is a moon-shaped bed, an eight immortals table, a dressing table, a screen, carved latticework, beads curtains, and drawn drapes. Outside, there is a reclining Buddhist couch, two armchairs, and a TV hanging incongruously on the wall.

I felt something outside the screen, a creepy feeling crawling up my spine.

"Who!" I asked, reaching into the small drawer under my bed for a red envelope.

The bread is embedded with five emperors coins.

My family doesn't place much emphasis on Taoism or spells. I only know that my father gave us these things to ward off evil spirits and bad luck.

There was no sound outside.

Actually, there wasn't a sound in the whole room, but for some reason I felt on edge. The temperature in the air even seemed to drop.

I got up, clutching the Five Emperor Coins and wanting to go see what was happening. As I rounded the screen, a flash of bright red appeared in the dim corner outside!

"Ah!!!" I jumped almost out of my skin.

I looked up and saw only a pale chin, painted with red lips and black blood on its chin, grinning ominously.

Oh my...

"It's you again!"

It's that seven- orifices bleeding female ghost again.

I clutched the five emperors coins, wanting to hurl them at her. But just as I stepped out from behind the screen, she vanished like smoke dispersed by a breeze, disappearing into the shadows.

What does this creepy ghost want! Does she plan to keep scaring me all the time

As someone well-connected in this circle, it's highly unlikely they could successfully scare me.

But there's often a female ghost that appears in my room, just thinking about it is disgusting.

I wandered around outside for a while, but the ghost's figure never appeared again. By the time I calmed down, it was already getting light.

I've hardly slept for half the night.

When the sky began to lighten, I immediately opened the door and went to the pavilion to check on the kitten.

I didn't have any hope, but when I saw the kitten actually get up, I was surprised and relieved.

It still has a chance, and it could even attract mysterious people.

I ran to Jun Shixiong's courtyard holding a cardboard box and knocked on the door. Jun Shixiong opened the door for me, wearing an outer robe.

"Little sister, what are you causing trouble for again" he said with a helpless expression.

"Look, look, it's able to get up... We don't have to send it to the incinerator, do we, Senior Brother" I asked.

"You're really something else," said my brother, shaking his head.

"Senior brother, this little thing is very useful!" I tried to explain. "Yesterday at midnight when I got up to drink water, I saw a dark shadow in the pavilion... But it disappeared in a blink of an eye, I don't even know if I was seeing things! Keeping this around, who knows, maybe it will attract something big!"

My senior brother gave me a withering glance: "With that tiny brain of yours, you actually want to use tactics and wait for rabbits to come to your trap This cat is obviously the other side softening your heart. Why else would they bring a kitten instead of a bigger one They're just exploiting your young girls' psychology."

I pouted and said, "Well... let's think of it this way, the little cat could be our test subject! You've made so many antidotes, maybe one of them will work to cure it..."

"Sophistry."

"Humph."

Although my senior brother said he was leaving, he turned around and went inside to get the medicine powder for me.

He wasn't very interested in anything else, but he was very interested in the idea of fighting poison with poison, using medicine to counteract it.

"Little junior sister, you said there was a dark shadow last night, did you check the surveillance" My senior brother asked me while facing away.

"Huh Not yet... Could someone really break into our house Didn't you set up those low-voltage nets in the wall nooks"

"Who knows, there's no foolproof defense in this world. There's always a possibility of a leak...Here's some medicine powder, take it three times a day." He handed me a small porcelain bottle.

I pondered for a moment, then asked, "Senior brother, do you have anything to ward off evil spirits I... I seem to need some protection... I feel like I've incurred the wrath of unclean things..."

My senior brother sighed resignedly, and then handed me a small peach wood sword, telling me to hang it on the screen.

After retrieving the kitten from my brother, I happily carried it back to the yard. My sister and I then fussed over feeding it milk and changing its bandages.

My older sister Yin Yue is more gentle and caring than me. She tied a beautiful bow on the cat's leg, while I fed it milk with a soft tube, spilling half of it.

"Sis... Did you feel anything last night I felt like someone broke into our house." I said, frowning and lowering my voice.

"Lost something" my sister asked in surprise.

“....No, I checked the surveillance footage and there was nothing unusual. But last night in the middle of the night, I saw a black shadow in the pavilion, and also a female ghost appeared in my room.”

"Ah! Don't scare me like that!" My sister turned pale with fright.

I quickly shut my mouth. She looked like this, how could I scare her What if she fainted

We were born one after another, but she had a weaker constitution. After entering high school, she caught colds and fevers every other day because of the heavy academic pressure.

My father is often out, and my mother is not at home. It's really tiring for Junior Brother to raise these two younger sisters. My sister needs all sorts of supplements and medicinal meals three times a day.

Now that I'm in college, studying has become much easier, and my sister seems to be getting better.

But she was thinner than me, looking very frail.

"Xiao Luo, should we ask someone to come and ward off the evil spirits The old woman Zhong nearby is a fortune teller. Let's ask her to take a look"

I never believed in these witch doctors and old Taoist priests. I scoffed and said, “Do we even need to call someone Just have my senior brothers brew two batches of medicinal soup for me.”

"So, you're asking me about that masked man What's the story there Did you mess with some kind of spirit, one that just happens to wear a mask" My sister asked, completely baffled.

Mú Wǎn Chén is a demon That's kind of funny.

"Sister, do you have any marks on your body that appeared suddenly a few years ago"d cold look, reluctantly twitching his lips and saying, "Let's go."I told Younan that I couldn't fly on clouds or have an immortal ride me on his shoulders. Younan nodded knowingly and raised an eyeb...
