Luo Wenxin didn't have time to think it through; she rolled to the side and dodged the attack.
Looking up at the assailant, he could hardly believe it. "Old Xiao?"
Old Xiao had a limp, and after his first attack failed, he lost the initiative, but he still charged forward relentlessly.
Even though Luo Wenxin was weak, he was still a young man. He used all his strength to pin Old Xiao against the iron gate.
Just then, he heard a child crying nearby, and he turned his head, thinking to himself, "Oh no."
The child who had just been sleeping in the stroller next to him woke up and, seeing his grandfather being arrested, burst into tears and tried to climb out of the stroller.
"Grandpa, Grandpa~"
Luo Wenxin was worried that the child would fall, so she rushed over and picked him up, frantically trying to soothe him.
"Don't cry, little one. Uncle isn't a bad person, really! Uncle is just playing with Grandpa..."
Because he was holding a child, he casually placed the folding fan covered with scriptures on the stroller.
The little boy struggled and squirmed in his arms, and Luo Wenxin didn't dare to pull too hard. "Trust Uncle, look, Grandpa's alright..."
A malicious smile suddenly flashed across the child's innocent face, and a knife appeared in his hand. "Then you can die, Uncle!"
The blade slashed mercilessly toward Luo Wenxin's neck.
"Bang!" A shoe flew from the side and hit the little boy's wrist with a crisp crack, causing the knife to miss its mark.
Luo Wenxin let go of the child and threw him to the ground, but he also got a cut on his arm and almost fainted from the smell of Qiao Song's shoe.
No wonder that infant spirit was so angry; this was a biological attack, it was too much!
Qiao Song ran over embarrassedly and picked up the shoe, putting it on his foot.
Old Xiao originally wanted to rush up and capture Luo Wenxin, but when he saw Ming Zhuo and the others come out, he immediately realized that the situation was hopeless.
The little boy slumped to the ground, gasping for breath, and glared venomously at Mingzhuo. "How could you possibly have gotten out?"
Mingzhuo: "See? This is the downside of being uneducated and ignorant. You've never even heard of me. My name is Ruan Mingzhuo, and I have an alias called 'Only Three Divinations.' I can even break through ghosts and demons. What is your little clinic compared to that?"
The little boy angrily pounded the ground twice, letting out two screams in frustration, and blood immediately streamed down his fair hands.
Qiao Song looked at him with a pained expression: "Why are you, a little kid, meddling with adults? Your grandfather is not a good person, don't listen to him."
Mingzhuo gave Qiaosong a strange look. "Who said he's a child? The person in front of you is already over thirty years old."
Qiao Song was shocked: "How is this possible?"
The little boy and Old Xiao are both human. If it were an evil spirit or a ghost, there would be so many of them who couldn't see that something was wrong.
Luo Wenxin realized what was going on and carefully observed the little boy's expression, guessing, "Could it be that he has severe dwarfism?"
Seeing the confusion, he explained, "Special short stature, also known as dwarfism, is a rare disease usually caused by a genetic mutation. The body retains the appearance of a child, but the intelligence develops slowly, though it will be much lower than that of peers, and lifespan is usually short..."
He was probably right. The little boy screamed loudly, his voice shrill, and he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
Old Xiao quickly hugged him and coaxed, "Little Bao, don't be angry~~"
Luo Wenxin's eyes revealed a clear understanding: "Xiao Bao isn't your grandson, but your son, right?"
Mingzhuo said, "You've been occupying the health center just to lure people in by using rumors of infant spirits and ghosts, haven't you?"
The intersection here is very remote, and the health center has been abandoned for a long time. Once the gate is locked, no one will come in.
On the contrary, after the rumors of ghosts spread, there were always some fearless people who came to seek thrills, and then disappeared without a trace.
Among the missing people was an online celebrity who had given some kind of advance notice online. Netizens noticed that this person, who used to post more than a dozen updates a day, had been silent for several days and began to suspect that something might have happened, so they reported it to the police.
Of course, the police had also investigated beforehand and found no trace of those people; it was as if they had vanished into thin air.
Netizens then sought help from the program team, which led to this action.
Mingzhuo: "As people with dwarfism age, their skin and bones also deteriorate. You are quite remarkable, absorbing the life force of others to maintain your youth. Unfortunately, no matter how well you disguise your appearance, your eyes cannot lie."
Tang Zhen suddenly realized: "No wonder I always felt that there was something wrong with this child's eyes before. He had a very mature and old feeling about him."
Luo Wenxin awkwardly covered the tip of his nose with his fan, and he hadn't noticed such a big flaw.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Xiao Bao screamed, his eyes filled with venom. "Mom, kill her now!"
Old Xiao's wife came out, looking at everyone with a gloomy expression, "I want you all to die here tonight!"
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a knife and slashed his wrist, the smell of blood instantly filling the air.
Mingzhuo looked at her with curiosity and anticipation, waiting for her to call in helpers who could kill them all.
A few seconds passed, then a minute passed, and the clinic remained deathly silent.
The old lady's expression finally changed. She went into the yard and called out a few times, but there was still no response.
"What about those infant spirits?" she asked hurriedly, turning around.
Mingzhuo suddenly realized: "So you wanted to summon those infant spirits? You should have said so earlier. To tell you the truth, I've already performed a ritual to help all those infant spirits pass on to the afterlife."
The old woman was horrified: "What? You killed them all? How could you do that!"
She thought these people had escaped with great difficulty and effort, but she never expected that they had actually performed a ritual to release all the spirits of the infants in the entire health center.
Mingzhuo corrected, "It's not killing, it's performing a ritual to help the dead find peace."
The old woman said angrily, "Your Taoist rituals of deliverance are nothing but killing! You are too cruel, you demon!"
Mingzhao: "..."
Seeing that the old lady was also helpless, Xiao Bao became even angrier and screamed shrilly, "Mom! Kill her quickly! I hate her, I want her dead!"
Mingzhuo's head was throbbing from the noise. While the cries of the infant spirits were somewhat endearing, this one's cries were pure noise, extremely harsh and unpleasant to hear.
She stepped forward and kicked Xiao Bao in the shin. There was a cracking sound as the bone broke, and you could tell from the sound that it must have hurt a lot.
"Shut up, you're so noisy! If you keep making noise, you'll be exiled too!"
Xiao Bao shut up instantly, trembling and shrinking into Lao Xiao's arms, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Ming Zhuo.
He belatedly felt fear. This person could kill even such a small infant spirit, and could do such a thing to someone as cute as himself. His heart was harder than that of a demon.
"Advisor Ruan, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Luo Wenxin glanced tactfully at the camera lens, reminding Mingzhuo that the live broadcast was still ongoing.
If someone screenshots this and posts it online, people who don't know the situation might think Mingzhuo is bullying the elderly and children.
Some netizens like to take things out of context, regardless of the cause and effect.
Mingzhuo: "What's wrong? You're asking where the missing person went. They're on his skin, inside his stomach, understand?"
