Chapter 72
"...Oh no." Yiqing sighed deeply, calmed himself down in the confused gazes of the two little girls, and told them to wash up and rest quickly.
Yunmian and Yu Anan slept in the same bed. The two children lay side by side facing each other and chatted in low voices.
"Mianmian, are those dark shadows scary?" Yu Anan groped in the dark and held Yunmian's hand.
Yun Mian shook her head in confusion: "I don't know, An An, don't be afraid, we will all protect you."
Yu Anan has heard Yunmian say the same thing many times during this period. The most important thing is that Yunmian will actually do it every time and always protect her well at the first time.
Of course, except when she was asked to seduce those ghosts by fishing enforcement~
Yu Anan curled her eyes and smiled secretly, then she huddled herself closer to Yunmian in the quilt, then held her friend's soft paws and whispered, "Mianmian, we must always protect you!"
You must always protect me, and I will always protect you. We will always be best friends. Never let us be separated!
Yun Mian yawned and buried her head in Yu Anan's pillow. She responded muffledly when she heard the words, and patted her back habitually, coaxing the talkative child to go to sleep quickly.
Ever since she brought her mother and the little ghost doll with her, her health has been a little bad. Although her master has found ways to help her avoid many of the effects, Yun Mian is still always sleepy, goes to bed very early at night, and gets up very late in the morning.
But fortunately, when she is awake, she is always full of energy and spirit!
But today, in the middle of the night, Yunmian suddenly opened his eyes in the dark.
Yu Anan, who was originally sleeping soundly beside her, woke up at some point and was curled up trying to get closer to her. Her slightly cold hands and feet were curled up and trembling, as if she was frightened by something.
The jade pendant she wore around her neck was vibrating constantly against her skin, as if it had sensed some inexplicable danger and was desperately trying to break out of the seal of the jade pendant.
Yun Mian held Yu Anan's hand that was grabbing her pajamas with her backhand, and with her other hand she pinched the warm jade pendant on her chest. She calmed herself down, carefully opened her eyelids and looked around silently in the dark.
Bloody ghost faces crowded in front of her eyes, swallowing blood. Even though they knew they couldn't hurt them by rushing over, they still rushed towards them desperately like moths to a flame.
The shrill cries of ghosts lingered in the dark room, and some ghosts even imitated the voices of their masters and senior brothers, calling out their names faintly from sometimes far away.
Yunmian's body was covered with goose bumps as if she was under stress, and even the jade pendant under her pillow began to tremble anxiously.
Ghost faces with different but equally horrifying and ugly expressions kept approaching her with tears and laughter, and their sharp nails covered with blood and flesh scratched her body desperately, making short and sharp sounds like iron scraping against glass. Ghost shadows pressed towards her and Yu Anan one after another, and the cold air gradually became thin and sticky.
They all wanted to eat her and Yu Anan!
Yun Mian didn’t know why her master didn’t sense what was happening in the room, but her stubbornness didn’t mean she would just sit there and wait to be bullied by these ghosts.
Yunmian would not bear to let her mother and the little ghost doll come out to face all this. Her mother has turned into a ghost to protect her. This time it is Yunmian's turn to protect her mother.
She took off the jade pendant from her neck and stuffed it together with the one under the pillow to Yu Anan who was hiding in the quilt. Then she looked at the crumbling protective light on Yu Anan's body and clenched her fists tightly.
"An An, don't be afraid." Yun Mian once again wrapped Yu An An and the two jade pendants in the quilt. Even if this could not prevent the ghost from pouncing on Yu An An, it could give her a little sense of security.
After wrapping Yu Anan in the quilt, Yun Mian squeezed in among the layers of ghosts in her pajamas, groping her way step by step in the dark night without any light.
All around her ears were the ghosts' sinister laughter and wailing. They surrounded her and Yu Anan on the bed, biting them with their teeth, scratching and tearing them with their claws, and hitting them with their bodies... Yun Mian was caught off guard and fell to the ground. She and the ghosts were able to touch each other's entities, so even if the other party could not kill her directly, they could kill her indirectly in many other ways.
The easiest way is to throw her off the building or control anything to attack her.
Fortunately, the bedroom window was half closed, and fortunately there was not too much clutter in the bedroom.
Yun Mian got up. During the attacks that brought her enough pain, she heard Yu Anan's frightened whimpering behind her. She couldn't go back, so she could only try to comfort her loudly.
"An An is not afraid!"
"An An, I'm here!"
"An An, don't look, don't be afraid, I'll be back soon!"
Just like that night a month ago, one of them was in the bathroom and the other was outside the bathroom. Even with just the transmission of sound, they were able to give each other encouragement and courage across the air.
Maybe it was Yunmian's unilateral giving, but Yunmian also entrusted her most important mother to Yu Anan.
After her voice fell, these ghosts seemed to have found something interesting. They actually imitated her and Yu Anan's voices. Some of them shouted loudly what she had just said, while others cried softly to deliberately disturb her thinking. Some even went further and turned into Yu Anan, staring at her with those tender eyes filled with blood and tears, laughing and crying.
The system, which had not appeared for a long time, tried hard to block Yunmian with its round sphere, and gave Yunmian guidance with difficulty among the ghosts. It also kept comforting the five-year-old child: "Don't be afraid, Mianmian, they can't hurt you. Don't look or listen, these bad guys will be wiped out sooner or later! Mianmian, think about your mother, your mother is much more powerful than them, we shouldn't be afraid of these bad guys!"
Hearing the anxious voice of the System Uncle, Yun Mian slowly loosened her clenched fingers, responded muffledly, raised her hand to wipe away the moisture in her eyes, and after the System Uncle stopped, she closed her eyes and rushed in that direction.
After knocking over countless ghosts that blocked the way, Yun Mian finally found the small box where she and Yu An had placed the talismans.
Yun Mian's body trembled slightly as her slender fingers tightly clasped the wooden box. The blocked and cold air made her face as pale as a ghost. Yu Anan's and her own voices kept lingering in her ears, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes far, sometimes near. Yun Mian's eyes were red as she quickly took out a talisman and threw it at the ghosts.
She smashed the objects while running desperately towards the bed. The light of the amulet on Yu Anan's body had dimmed to the point that it was almost invisible. Yun Mian was afraid that if she was too late, she, her mother, and the little ghost doll would really be eaten by those ghosts.
On the way back, each step was harder than the one before.
The system anxiously urged Yunmian to use talismans to drive away all the ghost shadows, but Yunmian, the stubborn little idiot, refused to listen. He buried his head and tried desperately to squeeze forward among the ghost shadows. When he couldn't squeeze through, he imitated the actions of the ghosts, grabbing and biting, pulling with his hands and kicking with his feet. With red eyes, he used all means to hurt the ghost shadows fiercely.
It was only a few steps to the bed, but Yun Mian took almost three minutes to get there covered in blood.
But the ghostly figures pressed down on her, pushing her down one after another, not giving her any chance to climb onto the bed.
There were still a large number of ghosts attacking Yu Anan. Yu Anan was timid to begin with, and now that her spirit was affected, the light of the amulet connected to her own luck became thinner and dimmer.
Yun Mian gritted her teeth and grasped the bed sheet tightly. She raised her hand and smashed the wooden box in her hand towards Yu Anan. She shouted to Yu Anan who was hiding in the quilt: "Anan! Use the talisman to stick on yourself! Don't be afraid, I am protecting you!"
It's not that I will protect you, but that I am protecting you. This is completely different from the ghost-like repeater-like rhetoric that they use to imitate their speech!
Children don’t actually understand the art of language, but Yu Anan’s sensitive and delicate personality allows her to better perceive the different power from other people’s language.
So when the system thought that Yu Anan might not dare to come out of the bed at all, the girl with red eyes and crying like a little rabbit reached out in fear while crying.
Some ghosts tried to move their bodies closer for her to touch, while others wanted to move the wooden box full of life-saving talismans. Yun Mian endured the attacks of the ghosts, but still tried to look in the direction of Yu Anan.
There was still a little light there. Yu Anan had not been attacked yet. She was trying hard to feel for the wooden box that could save her life.
"An An, don't be afraid." Yun Mian half-lay on the bed. The heavy weight on her body seemed to break all her bones and press her into a thin piece of skin.
Yu Anan lay in bed crying, holding the two jade pendants tightly under her belly. Her little hands fumbled around in panic. She was obviously scared to death, but she still sobbed and said that she would definitely help Mianmian protect the jade pendants.
She was so scared that her outstretched hand seemed to be pulled by countless people, but she still touched Yunmian and tried desperately to find the wooden box that was thrown to her again.
Yu Anan grabbed the wooden box in her hand, opened the lid with trembling fingers, and after touching the thick stack of talismans inside, she finally couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears. While crying, she randomly took out talismans and kept sticking them on herself.
"You gave it to her, but what about yourself?" A ghost asked the same question as the system with a chuckle.
My mother burned the amulet at the doorstep once out of confusion, and then...it got out of control.
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution:
