Chapter 57 (Catching Bugs)
But the thought process of a fool is probably always different from that of a normal person or a normal ghost. Yun Mian grabbed the small hand that was holding the corner of her clothes tightly, and stared at her quietly with her dark eyes wide open, as if she would not let go until she returned Yu Anan to her.
The female ghost rolled her eyes in annoyance, dispersed the illusion condensed by the Yin energy around her, and then pointed towards the corner of the toilet.
When Yunmian let go of her hand, she disappeared without a trace in an instant as if being chased by a ghost.
Yun Mian rubbed her eyes, and after the ghost left, she finally slowly and dully remembered the spiritual pupils that the system uncle had repeatedly warned her about.
The spiritual pupil can see ghosts directly, but it needs the spiritual power to be activated to see through the illusion. Yun Mian has no spiritual power, so the activation of the spiritual pupil consumes her mental power and vitality.
It’s just that she just now... didn’t realize that it was an illusion, so naturally she didn’t remember to use her special eyes.
After the illusion faded, Yu Anan's soft sobbing could be heard in the toilet. Yun Mian followed the sound and found Yu Anan curled up in the innermost corner of the toilet.
"An An." She walked over and poked Yu An An's head, the same action as when Yu An An called her to wake her up during the day.
Yu Anan's body trembled with fear. She cried and shrank into the corner with her eyes tightly closed, fearing that the evil ghost was using the muffled voice to trick her into opening her eyes.
"An An." The soft voice sounded again, but there was no terrifying laughter as heard before.
Yu Anan's crying slowly stopped, but she still hugged herself tightly, and asked suspiciously in her arms: "Mian, Mianmian...is that you?"
Yunmian squatted in front of her without saying a word.
Yu Anan was extremely frightened, but still held on to a tiny bit of hope, so she sobbed and carefully opened her eyes a tiny bit.
Yun Mian was standing in front of her, looking at her with her head tilted.
Yu Anan first breathed a sigh of relief, then asked tremblingly: "Mianmian, weren't you outside? How did you get in?"
While asking, his eyes were fixed on Yun Mian's facial features, paying attention to every micro-expression on her face, fearing that this was another prank by a ghost.
Yunmian nodded and said softly, "You are scared, I came to find you."
She stood up and extended her hand to Yu Anan.
Yu Anan tentatively put her hand on Yun Mian's hand. It was icy cold, like a cold corpse. But the moment she touched it, Yu Anan breathed a long sigh of relief, clenched Yun Mian's hand and burst into laughter.
It’s real cotton!
It's not a ghost that disappears if you touch it!
She wiped the tears from her face and walked out obediently, holding Yun Mian's hand.
"Mianmian, I just saw a scary ghost..." Yu Anan couldn't wait to share what she had just seen with Yunmian. The child couldn't hide her words or her emotions. She just felt like she had someone to rely on at this moment.
Even if the other person is a child as fragile and young as yourself.
Yunmian took her hand and walked slowly towards the dormitory. The evening breeze was still blowing gently in the empty corridor, but Yu Anan felt that this dim and scary corridor became bright and safe around Yunmian.
But her story was interrupted.
It was interrupted by a kid who just crawled out of the nursing dormitory.
The little ghost's body was covered in sticky blood, which kept dripping onto the ground, then gradually disappeared and returned to it again.
Yu Anan subconsciously shrank and hid behind Yun Mian, but Yun Mian's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly walked over, picked up the bloody little ghost and held him in her arms again.
The little ghost's eyes widened at the sudden encounter. No matter how hard he struggled to break free, it was useless. He could only be held tightly in Yunmian's arms like a rag doll.
It stopped struggling and angrily clenched its hands and smashed them hard on Yunmian: "Woo...bad...bad!"
Yun Mian pulled Yu Anan, who was hiding nearby, over and held up the little ghost in her hand. For the first time, she showed a happy expression and boasted softly, "The little ghost can talk now."
Her dark, clear eyes looked at Yu Anan.
Although there was not much change in her expression, Yu Anan inexplicably read some happiness and anticipation in Yun Mian's eyes.
My good friend seems to be expecting me to praise her doll?
Yu Anan: “…”
She looked at the angry little ghost. Although she was still very scared, she had gotten along with him during the day and now he was being punished by Yun Mian and couldn't move.
So she thought about it and said to Yunmian seriously: "The baby can't talk during the day, but he learned it at night. That's great!"
Yun Mian nodded in agreement, put down the hand that was holding up the little ghost, and couldn't help but rub its head twice with her claws.
The ghost doll is soft, can talk, cute and so rua!
"But why did it go to the dormitory of the nursing ladies?" Yu Anan couldn't help but look back after walking away, and then whispered to Yun Mian: "It has been lying on Aunt Li's shoulders and biting people. I have seen it many times."
Hearing this, Yun Mian looked down at the little ghost in her arms who was grinding his teeth on her clothes again, and then shook her head: "I don't know."
Yu Anan didn't know either. How could a little kid like her understand what cause and effect are? She just thought biting people was scary. It was even scarier that Aunt Li couldn't see it and then hit her on the palm of her hand after she reminded her, which was even scarier.
Unknown things will not stay in the children's minds for too long. Yun Mian held the little ghost doll and took Yu Anan's hand into the dormitory.
After closing the door gently, Yu Anan climbed onto the upper bed, while Yun Mian stood in front of the bed and thought for seven or eight seconds, then placed the ghost doll upright on the windowsill.
Raising her hand and gently patting its feet, Yunmian gave it a smile: "Be good, good night."
The ghost doll bared its teeth ferociously, then its body turned transparent and quickly disappeared through the window.
Yun Mian looked at the empty windowsill with only moonlight on it. The faint smile on her face gradually disappeared. She pursed her lips, went back to bed, covered herself with the quilt, and continued to stare blankly with her eyes open.
She misses her mother.
A quiet night.
The next morning, after waking up, getting dressed and washing up, Yunmian sat in the cafeteria, listening to the auntie who served the food and the nurse Li Shuang whispering and chatting.
"I went to the toilet last night, and guess what happened? I heard a woman's voice in the toilet, crying and laughing, it was so scary!" The aunt who served the food shuddered as she spoke, obviously frightened, and looked a little panicked.
Li Shuang lowered her voice: "I didn't hear anything in the toilet. You know Yu Anan, right? She's the kid who always likes to point at the air and say there's a ghost. Two days ago, she pointed at me and said there's a ghost on my back. It was my birthday that day. What an unlucky thing to say. I was so angry that I spanked her a few times..."
The aunt obviously knew Yu Anan, and frowned when she heard it: "This child's delusional disorder is getting worse and worse. Don't be angry with her. She is sick. There is nothing we can do. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent back by so many adoptive families. I just hope that she will get better slowly in the future."
"Yu An'an is sick, but the new kid who came a few days ago also looked a little weird to me." Li Shuang said in a veiled manner, "She just woke up yesterday. I wanted to take her to get familiar with the environment, but she squatted in a corner while we were walking. I don't know what she was doing there. When she got up again, it seemed like she was holding something in her arms, but I didn't see anything. I got goose bumps all over my body!"
Probably because she had the same experience last night, the auntie who served the food thought about it and said hesitantly: "I've heard those old people always say that children's eyes are the cleanest and can see a lot of dirty things... Do you think that the two children really saw something? It's just that we can't see it?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shuang's face turned pale, and he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't believe these. If there really were ghosts in this world, it would have been a mess long ago. Besides, our welfare home has been open for so long, and nothing has happened. How can it be that there are ghosts, right?"
She spoke with certainty, but her expression was not so sure. Instead, it was as if she was afraid of something and her face looked very bad.
Unexpectedly, just as the two of them stopped talking, Yun Mian and Yu Anan, who had just been mentioned, walked in together.
And in Yunmian's hand... it seemed like she was really holding something, and she even lowered her head and raised her hand to touch it!
Seeing this scene, the two adults looked at each other in horror, and they saw the fear in each other's eyes.
Yun Mian hadn't even finished her meal when she and Yu Anan were called over by the director's mother.
Sitting on the sofa, Yun Mian held the little boy beside her, then met the dean's inquiring gaze blankly.
Li Shuang whispered, "Look, Dean, I told you this kid is weird..."
Yun Mian heard it, Yu Anan and the ghost doll also heard it, and three pairs of eyes looked at her.
Although she couldn't see the ghost doll, Li Shuang inexplicably felt a chill all over her body. She quickly shut up and avoided the sight of the two children.
At this moment, the ghost doll climbed down from the sofa again, screamed and ran to Li Shuang, hugged her legs and climbed onto her shoulders, biting the back of her head hard. Its eyes, which had originally had some spirit, began to bleed again, and its expression became crazy.
This scene attracted the attention of Yu Anan and Yun Mian. The two girls stared at Li Shuang's shoulders and neck, as if they were looking at something tangible.
The dean saw this scene and she also looked over, but Li Shuang was fine and there was nothing on her back.
She frowned and asked gently, "Mianmian, An'an, can you tell the dean mother what you see in Aunt Li?"
Yun Mian was slow to react, and Yu Anan didn't dare to say anything, so the two children were silent for a long time.
Finally, Yun Mian pointed at Li Shuang's shoulder and whispered, "There, the doll is biting her~"
Yu Anan nodded in agreement and secretly hid her beaten hands behind her back.
Li Shuang was frightened by Yun Mian's light words and her face turned pale. She was shaking and dared not move. She could only stand stiffly in place and look to the dean for help.
The dean was also stunned. He didn't expect that the two children could actually say something that didn't exist.
Perhaps because she was sure that there was something dirty in the room, the dean swallowed back the question that was about to come out of her mouth. She looked at the stiff and trembling Li Shuang, then at the two children with clear eyes, and said calmly, "I know, An An, you take Mian Mian out first, and don't tell other children about this, understand?"
After Yun Mian and Yu Anan nodded in agreement, the dean watched them leave. Unexpectedly, Yun Mian walked towards Li Shuang at this time, waved at her, and motioned her to squat down.
Li Shuang didn't dare to move. She felt that the shoulder that Yun Mian had pointed at was frozen and couldn't move. She breathed cautiously and was almost scared to tears.
Now that Yunmian was approaching, she wanted to step back, but the dean shook his head to stop her.
So she could only bend her knees and squat slowly with trembling teeth.
Then Yunmian reached behind her neck and seemed to take something away.
Although he couldn't see it, Li Shuang fell to the ground after Yun Mian and Yu Anan left, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.
She knelt and crawled to the dean's side, her fingers tightly grasping the dean's trouser legs, crying and begging: "Dean...Dean, save me! I must be haunted by a ghost, I don't want to die yet, please, save me..."
The dean sighed and patted her stiff shoulders, saying gently, "Get up first. There was something invisible just now, and I can't ask what it was. Wait for me to call my old friends. I heard that the Taoist priests in a Taoist temple nearby are very capable... Don't come to work these few days. Go back and have a good rest. Go to a temple or Taoist temple to worship, maybe it will help."
Li Shuang nodded hurriedly, her body still shaking slightly.
Seeing her like this, the dean shook his head, but he became suspicious about her situation.
