Xia Tianqiong glanced at it, then turned and walked back to her room, replying with two indifferent words.
"cannot!"
"you……"
Jiang Yu wanted to say something like, "Why are you like this?" but before she could say it, the other person had already closed the door.
With a bang, the sound of the door closing echoed in the stairwell, as if striking her chest.
Startled, she quickly ran to her room and locked the door.
Then they turned on all the lights in each room and began searching carefully.
Wardrobes, cabinets, behind curtains, under sofas, and every possible corner where things could be hidden was searched.
In the entire apartment building, all the surviving residents were doing the same thing, rummaging through their homes, searching for the female ghost's child.
When Xia Tianqiong returned to her room, the first thing she did was to find all the bowls, plates, cups, bottles, and other items, and then arrange them in various corners of the room.
Whenever the ghost baby appears, it may come into contact with these things, thus making a sound.
After doing all this, he turned off all the lights in the room and stood quietly in the center of the living room.
The Ghost Baby can only teleport in shadows or dark places.
When other people turn on their lights, it reduces the number of places where the ghost baby can teleport.
Since the lights are off here and it's pitch black, the chances of the ghost infant teleporting here are much higher.
What I said to everyone just now was actually a bit underhanded; it was all to trick them and benefit myself.
When this mother and son ghost appeared in this apartment building, two possible outcomes were already predetermined.
Either everyone dies, or only one person survives.
There is no other possibility.
Therefore, Xia Tianqiong had no other choice.
Ten minutes later, screams came from downstairs, clearly the evil mother had eaten another person.
Twenty minutes, thirty minutes, an hour...
Screams erupted downstairs every ten minutes, and more and more people were dying.
Xia Tianqiong stood motionless in the dark living room.
The strange infant never came to his room, or perhaps it did but he didn't notice.
"Knock knock knock!"
The knocking sounded again.
"Brother, open the door, let's talk about what to do!"
At this moment, more than ten people gathered outside the door again; most of the survivors were here.
They've searched their own house multiple times, and even the homes of other deceased people, but still haven't found the ghost baby.
Even though two people saw the ghost baby, they failed to capture it.
When everyone met and discussed the matter, they all realized the crux of the problem: this strange infant was simply impossible to catch.
In other words, everyone could die!
They were at their wits' end, and then they thought of Xia Tianqiong.
Perhaps he has a way, after all, he's the only one here who knows something about the situation.
"Open the door! If you don't open the door, we'll kick it down!"
There was no response from inside for a long time, and the crowd gradually became agitated, feeling even more strongly that he was hiding the truth.
Xia Tianqiong originally didn't intend to pay attention to them, but the knocking was so annoying that she had no choice but to turn on the light and then open the door.
Why did it take you so long to open the door?
A burly man outside the door angrily questioned, then suddenly noticed the situation inside the room, "Why are there so many bottles and jars on the floor?"
Immediately, someone behind him shouted, "I knew it! He definitely has a way to catch the ghost child!"
"Yes, he's definitely hiding something from us."
"They're not telling us the truth; they're trying to get us killed!"
As soon as the door opened, everyone saw the state of his home, which seemed to provide evidence that he knew how to capture the ghost baby.
The eyes of everyone looking at Xia Tianqiong suddenly filled with anger and doubt.
It was as if Xia Tianqiong had hurt them.
"Everyone, please don't get agitated, I don't know the solution either."
No one believed Xia Tianqiong's explanation.
“You can’t hide it, otherwise you’ll be the one who killed everyone, and you’ll have to take full responsibility.”
"If I knew a way, I would have captured the demonic infant long ago. Would I have waited until now?"
More than a dozen people were crowded in the hallway outside the door, looking at each other, feeling that what he said made some sense.
The burly man frowned, sensing that Xia Tianqiong was hiding something.
"I don't believe you. You'd better tell me everything you know."
He suddenly made a move and grabbed Xia Tianqiong by the collar.
Xia Tianqiong was furious and was about to summon the delivery monster within him to scare the other party, but suddenly, the expressions of the people in front of him changed drastically, and they all retreated in fear.
The burly man released him and jumped away as if he had been electrocuted.
All eyes were on Xia Tianqiong's back.
"Oh no! The Demon Mother is here!"
Xia Tianqiong tensed up, and her heart stopped beating.
The Demon Mother's target this time is him!
If the strange infant is not found, only death awaits him.
