In the sandpit not far from the swing set, the children gathered together to play house. Gradually, they were picked up by their parents who were getting off work.

There was also a little girl of four or five years old building a castle with sand.

A tall man appeared behind her, and the dark shadow cast by the street light enveloped the little girl.

"dad!"

The little girl turned her head in surprise, thinking that it was her father who came back to pick her up, but unexpectedly, she was met with a pair of unfamiliar eyes.

He was wearing a black mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but it was obvious that he was not her father!

But before she could open her mouth to speak, the man covered her mouth with his hand and tried to drag her away.

Just then, a cold wind blew.

The man subconsciously looked up and saw a light blue child's shadow gradually appearing on the unmanned automatic swing over there.

“Ghost!!!”

The man screamed in horror, and at this moment, the little girl whose mouth he was covering opened her mouth and bit him hard.

The man felt pain and was so angry that he wanted to slap someone, but when he saw the light blue child on the swing walking towards him, he was so scared that he peed his pants and ran away without caring about the little girl at all.

The little girl looked at the man running away in panic and ran forward in fright, but when she turned around, she saw a little boy who was shorter than her.

The little girl thought the little boy was a little strange, but when she saw that he was shorter than her, she was no longer afraid.

The little girl's face was full of childishness, but she was very serious. "Brother, hurry up, human traffickers!"

The little boy said, "The bad guys have been driven away."

The little girl nodded heavily, "Brother, aren't your parents off work yet?"

The little boy lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said, "They don't want me anymore."

He went home, but they couldn't see him anymore.

The little girl was surprised: "Are your parents going to have a brother too?"

The little boy was puzzled.

The little girl suddenly became depressed. "My aunt said that after my parents have a brother, they will not want me anymore. I am also my parents' child, why don't they want me?"

Just as the little girl was crying, the little boy suddenly reached out his hand, and his translucent hand gradually solidified, "I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The little girl rubbed her eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "Really?"

Little boy: “Really.”

The little girl was confused: "But the teacher said we can't eat anything given by strangers."

The little boy thought for a moment and said, "If we become friends, we won't be strangers anymore."

"You're so smart! My name is Jiujiu, what's yours?"

"My name is Xinxin."

…

The next day.

Fang's snack shop.

As soon as Shi Ling arrived, he was welcomed in by Fang Songzhao and Qin Zhan who were waiting at the door.

Fang Songzhao's snack shop is quite large, like a small supermarket, and it sells all kinds of snacks and drinks produced by Fang's Food Company and other partners.

"Shi Ling, come and take a look. This morning, as soon as we opened the store, we found it was completely empty. When we closed yesterday, the shelves were still full."

Fang Songzhao pointed to the two empty rows of shelves.

Shi Ling: "What was originally placed here?"

The snack shop manager said, "Lollipops and potato chips. To attract children, they bundle a small Egg Boy doll with each bucket of lollipops, and a carrot knife with each bucket of potato chips."

Shi Ling nodded thoughtfully: "These are all things that children like."

Fang Songzhao: "We checked the surveillance footage too. We couldn't see anyone. We only saw these two rows of things disappearing one by one."
