The Ghost Mother appeared silently behind Xia Tianqiong and licked her bloodless lips.
It has become addicted to eating people.
"turn up……"
He had barely uttered two words when the person in front of him suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"
Xia Tianqiong's shout startled everyone outside the door, leaving them all dumbfounded.
Even the Ghost Mother trembled.
"Don't speak, listen to me first." Xia Tianqiong quickly turned around.
He couldn't let the evil mother speak, otherwise the death rule would be fulfilled, and he would surely die.
The Ghost Mother stared at him in surprise, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What do you want to say?"
"I found your child, but it ran away again. I have some things it dropped here. See if they are yours?"
Xia Tianqiong reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out a silver coin the size of a thumb, and held it in his palm.
The ghost mother's eyes lit up, and she almost blurted out that it was hers, but she held back.
When facing humans, the supernatural cannot lie or take things by force, otherwise they will violate the rules of the supernatural world.
But it really wanted the silver.
What does this mean?
"Here's the money. Consider it my payment for finding your child, okay?"
The mysterious mother shook her head. "The rules don't allow it."
Xia Tianqiong's tension intensified; it seemed this method wouldn't work.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Could you please not come looking for me now? Ask me last?"
"Hehe! Deal!"
The Demon Mother chuckled twice, her smile quite beautiful. "You treacherous human, I must remind you, in the end, I will still drain you dry."
As she spoke, she raised her fair and slender hand and took the silver.
Everyone outside the door stared wide-eyed.
So this is how you can prolong life!
This kid was definitely hiding something from us!
The ghost mother's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next instant, she appeared in front of a woman outside the door.
"Have you found my child?"
The woman was so frightened that she stammered, "I...I'll give you...gold, please...don't come looking for me."
She hurriedly pulled off the gold necklace from her neck and handed it to the ghost mother.
The ghost mother didn't even glance at it, saying, "I only accept ghost money!"
"Ghost money?"
Everyone present, except for Xia Tianqiong, was stunned.
I thought to myself, "It really is a ghost, otherwise it wouldn't only want ghost money."
"I...I'll burn some for you...ah!"
Before the woman could finish speaking, the Ghost Mother possessed her and instantly drained her of her life force, turning her into a dried-up corpse. Then, she glanced back at Xia Tianqiong before disappearing again.
The group seemed to have gotten used to it, and this time they didn't run away.
After a brief silence, the burly man suddenly asked Xia Tianqiong, "Was the silver you gave him ghost money?"
“That’s right.” Xia Tianqiong nodded.
"How did you get ghost money? Where did you get it? Do you have any more?"
"I picked it up by the roadside, just that one piece."
Xia Tianqiong would never tell the truth.
The burly man didn't believe it, and neither did the others.
"You can't do this! Take out the ghost money and distribute it to everyone!"
"Yeah, you can't just watch us die, can you? What's the difference between that and murder?"
The crowd grew more and more excited as they talked, as if Xia Tianqiong owed them something.
The burly man glared at Xia Tianqiong and strode toward him. "Don't waste your breath on him, let's search his house."
"Yes, let's go look for it together."
Of the dozen or so people, only a few remained unmoved; the rest, incited by the burly man, surged toward Xia Tianqiong's room.
After the Ghost Mother left, Xia Tianqiong had already made preparations.
Suddenly, he raised his leg and kicked the burly man at the front, sending him staggering back several steps. Then he quickly closed the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Damn it, open the door now."
"He wants to kill us, so we can't let him get away with it."
"Break down the door; there must be more ghost money in his house."
The crowd was kept outside the door, and they kept banging on it, accompanied by insults and slander.
"Maybe he's the one who summoned the female ghost, otherwise why would he be the only one who knows the situation?"
"Maybe that child was born from him and the female ghost!"
These people, empty-handed, banged on the door for a long time to no avail, and instead, they all became resentful.
Then came all sorts of foul language and endless cursing.
Xia Tianqiong felt angry. If it weren't for the need to spare their lives to buy time, he would have liked to kill a few of them himself. After all, he had killed quite a few people in his previous life.
However, the most crucial thing now is to find a way to capture the ghost baby.
Otherwise, they would also be doomed to die.
It's really unlucky. Reborn with many memories of his previous life, he thought he would have a good start.
Little did they expect that the game would start with an unsolved and bizarre rule: "The Strange Mother Searches for Her Baby."
Is God going to destroy him, this reborn person?
After thinking for a long time, Xia Tianqiong turned off the lights again and stood in the living room, quietly pondering.
No matter how bizarre or strange the rules of death may be, there is always a glimmer of hope hidden within them.
In other words, there is no rule that guarantees death.
Many supernatural phenomena have confirmed this point.
The reason why some rules of death have not been broken is because no one has yet found that hidden glimmer of hope.
"Time is running out!"
Summer felt an increasing sense of urgency in her heart.
There are still fifteen or sixteen survivors left in this apartment building, which means he only has a little over 150 minutes left.
If he fails to capture the demonic infant before then, he will also die.
"Ding-dong!"
A strange noise suddenly came from the kitchen, as if something had knocked over a glass.
Xia Tianqiong quickly turned on the light and rushed to the kitchen.
He saw the strange infant sitting next to the gas stove with its back to him.
