trap
"Can you two stop throwing the mess to me all the time?" Ye Jing'an sighed and looked at them with dissatisfaction.
Liu Muze said: "I don't know how to coax her."
Qiu Zimu said, "I'm at a loss for words."
"..." Ye Jingan dragged them downstairs, "Go to the school and guard it. Don't let another little girl get scared by that damn kid. I can't afford to coax her!"
By 6 p.m., the students had already left school, leaving only a few students on duty in each classroom to clean up. A group of boys were still playing basketball on the practice court, and the security guards were urging them to go home. Because of the negligence that led to Xi Yaxuan's injury, Wu Yuling held a meeting to highlight the issue of delayed students. A security guard was assigned to each building to ensure that every student returned home.
When the three of them arrived at the school, the gate had already been closed and there was no one on campus. Ye Jingan didn't want to bother Wu Yuling anymore, so he planned to climb over the railing to get in. The height of the railing was no problem for them at all.
"Brother Liu, the girl was chased by the zombie baby on the fourth floor yesterday." Qiu Zimu said.
"Let's go up and take a look." Liu Muzhe walked towards the toilet on the fourth floor of the teaching building.
After Ye Jing'an smashed the cement in the toilet, students began to spread rumors everywhere, saying that ghosts had come out, and all kinds of strange and bizarre statements were spread, sounding incredible.
Wu Yuling had no choice but to cordon off the restroom and tell the students that the demolition was intentional for renovation. To avoid disrupting their investigation, she simply covered the door with a layer of opaque nylon tarpaulin and weighed it down with bricks to prevent it from blowing away.
Qiu Zimu removed the waterproof sheet. There were some graffiti on the wooden door, and the lock was half-open and hanging on the latch. Learning from his last experience, Ye Jingan pushed the door open and immediately stepped back, covering his ears.
The restroom was quiet, and the group of children were gone.
"Where did they go?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"They were probably afraid that we would take action, so they captured them and hid them," said Liu Muzhe.
"What a pity! Those transparent kids are so cute. I was thinking of teasing them." Ye Jing'an sighed while leaning against the wall.
Just as they were chatting, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared from the eaves of the wooden door of the toilet. When Liu Muzhe was not paying attention, they pounced on his neck with their mouths open.
"Brother Liu, be careful!" Ye Jing'an suddenly pulled Liu Muzhe over.
The corpse baby missed its target and stood on the guardrail, staring at Liu Muzhe with a fierce look, smacking its lips twice.
"It seems to be more interested in you." Ye Jing'an said.
"You're quite brave. You want to eat me?" Liu Muzhe said with a smile.
The corpse infant babbled something, then pounced on Liu Muze with a wicked grin. Liu Muze didn't tolerate it and pulled out a talisman to slap it.
The corpse baby swallowed the talisman, screamed in pain, glared at him fiercely, and turned around and ran away.
"Don't let her run away, otherwise it will be difficult to catch her." Liu Muzhe supported himself against the wall with one hand and jumped down from the fourth floor.
"Fuck! Isn't this the fourth floor?" Qiu Zimu was stunned. He knew that Brother Liu was powerful, but he didn't know he could just jump off the building.
Ye Jingan was stunned.
"What are you doing? Chase him!" Qiu Zimu pulled him downstairs.
The two of them took two steps at a time and rushed down to chase him. When they reached the first floor, the corpse baby and Liu Muze had already disappeared. Ye Jing'an ran towards the place where the black air was thick, and Qiu Zimu released the corpse Gu to look for it.
When he almost reached the door of a girls' dormitory, he saw Liu Muze walking back in a depressed mood. Ye Jingan asked, "You didn't catch it yet, where did it go?"
"Who knows where it's hiding? It's very cunning." Liu Muzhe said.
Ye Jing'an came close to Liu Muze, poked his arm, and smiled maliciously: "You just flipped over and jumped from the fourth floor. You looked so cool, didn't you know that? Do you know Qinggong? Teach me."
Liu Muze was not in the mood to pay attention to him now, and said nonchalantly: "Go to the fourth floor and jump."
"I don't know anything. I will die if I jump down!" Ye Jing'an leaned back.
Liu Muze said indifferently: "It's okay, I can refine corpses."
Ye Jingan: “…”
The two were chatting when they heard Qiu Zimu running towards them crying and shouting, "Brother Liu, I...I've lost contact with my Iron Armor Little Treasure. It seems he was eaten by that corpse baby. Please help me!"
"Iron Armor Little Treasure?" He had heard of this name. When he was catching knife-wielding ghosts in a village, there was a little kid who called the toy in his hand Iron Armor Little Treasure.
The corpse baby eats that plastic thing?
Does Qiu Zimu want him to help get the toy back?
Ye Jingan looked at Liu Muze's strange expression, waved his hand and said, "It's just that broken bug of his."
"What a crap bug! Those are the few corpse insects I finally picked out from hundreds of burial armors. Wow! What should I do? My heart is bleeding!" Qiu Zimu grabbed his sleeve, almost crying in anxiety, "Brother Liu, please!"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that it's really hard to find it when it's hiding. And..." Liu Muzhe looked at him apologetically.
"And what?" Qiu Zimu stared at him without blinking.
"Well... the moment your insect lost contact, it was immediately digested in the corpse baby's stomach. Even if we caught it, we couldn't save it." Liu Muzhe said.
"My little treasure is gone..." Qiu Zimu was completely dejected. He walked back slowly with his head down, holding the poison jar.
Ye Jing'an had never been able to tell how many different kinds of insects Qiu Zimu had, but when he saw the jar he was holding, he knew the one being eaten by the corpse baby was his most precious treasure. He didn't know why he was so fond of that broken insect, always placing it next to his pillow when he slept, as if it had died and was about to kill him.
"Tsk!" He walked up and put his arm around Qiu Zimu's shoulders. "Don't be sad, brother. I'll catch the corpse baby and make a Gu for you."
"I don't want that dead kid, I just want my little treasures! They have been following me for a long time." Qiu Zimu shook off his hand.
"..." Ye Jing'an looked at Liu Muze, "What should we do?"
"What can I do? Why don't I ask him if he wants you? It would be a good idea to refine you into a Gu." Liu Muzhe raised the corner of his mouth.
"If I have to refine someone, I'll refine you!" Ye Jing'an pushed him hard towards Qiu Zimu.
Liu Muze stumbled a few steps, turned around and glared at him: "You unlucky kid, you hit me so hard! I'm annoyed too, be careful or I'll catch you and feed you to the zombie babies!"
Ye Jing'an thought about the last time Liu Muzhe asked the female ghost to swallow him and captured him to feed the corpse baby. He thought that he should be able to do such a thing. So he had to stay still and keep silent, secretly thinking about how to deal with this guy named Liu.
Liu Muze walked around the school but didn't see any trace of the corpse baby. He sighed and said, "Go back. It's been injured and won't come out again in the next few days."
Over the next few days, the corpse baby disappeared, with no sign of it anywhere. However, the koi and turtles in the school pond were all gone, and at first, we thought the cats had eaten them. Speaking of cats, everyone noticed that the three tabby cats we'd previously kept to catch mice hadn't been seen basking in the sun on the lawn for the past few days.
It wasn't until the third day that many students smelled a foul odor coming from the Osmanthus fragrans in the green belt. The three cats were finally found, but only their rotten, maggot-infested heads remained.
Liu Muze had a few grass carp bought and placed in the pond, then set up a formation nearby, waiting for the corpse babies to take the bait. Two days later, not a single fish was lost, and all were alive and well.
"He's started to be picky about food. It seems he's almost recovered." Liu Muzhe said.
"It won't run away, will it?" Ye Jing'an looked outside the school gate.
Liu Muze shook his head and said, "The most resentment is here, and it must be hiding in the school."
"It's boring. I quit." Ye Jing'an was fed up and sat down on the ground, unwilling to move anymore.
These past few days have been incredibly frustrating. I've had to get up at four in the morning, before the students and faculty arrive, to check on the corpse baby. It's not a good sleep, but I haven't gotten anything yet. I've been fooled by this idiot. Ye Jing'an now understands why Brother Liu had a headache when he mentioned the corpse baby. This idiot is truly annoying.
Liu Muzhe glanced at him. There was just a large piece of fresh, bloody, fat and lean meat on the ground. Why was he still looking for it? Really!
"Okay, then Qiu Zimu and I will go find it." Liu Muzhe suppressed his smile and took Qiu Zimu to the playground to find various points of the formation and place talismans. He hid behind the grass at the center of the formation, staring at Ye Jingan, waiting for the corpse baby to take the bait and wait for an opportunity to move.
"Brother Liu, what are we doing?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"Wait for the corpse baby to come out and enter the circle, put a copper coin at the center of the formation, and then you can catch it when the formation is formed." Liu Muzhe said.
Qiu Zimu nodded and quietly observed the surroundings.
"Hey, no one talks after they left. It's so boring." Ye Jing'an felt that it was a bit unfair for him to be lazy and let them go to look for it. He walked around the area twice more, but still didn't see the dead baby.
He was really fed up and picked up his phone to play a game, but he didn't notice that the corpse baby poked its head out from not far away and looked at him.
Liu Muze smiled and said, "Here I come."
"Then let's go catch it!" Qiu Zimu was so excited that he wanted to rush over. This dead kid had eaten his treasure, so he had to catch it and give it a good beating first.
Liu Muzhe grabbed Qiu Zimu and signaled him to wait a little longer.
The corpse baby looked around and found that Liu Muzhe was not there. It quietly walked behind Ye Jingan and opened its mouth to bite him.
"Damn, good job!" Ye Jing'an suddenly shouted, scaring the corpse baby back a few steps. Hearing Ye Jing'an chattering something, he curiously went over to take a look. He found that he didn't know what he was doing, but it seemed very interesting, so he stayed behind his shoulder and watched him play games.
Ye Jing'an was so engrossed in playing that he didn't even notice there was such a thing behind him.
"He is quite popular among children. They don't bite him." Qiu Zimu sighed.
"Hmm, interesting." Liu Muze saw the corpse baby open its mouth and took out the talisman in his hand, ready to strike out. He didn't expect the two of them to be so harmonious. He thought to himself that Ye Jing'an was a good material for raising children, so he had to find a reason to give this dead child to him.
Ye Jingan finished the game, put down his phone and shouted, "Brother Liu, Lao Qiu! Where are you?"
He didn't hear any response, so he stood up and looked around. As soon as he turned around, he saw a white thing behind his shoulder, grinning and staring at him, as if laughing.
"Fuck!" Ye Jing'an didn't care whether it was crying or laughing, he turned sideways and slashed at the corpse baby with his sword. But the slash didn't move it, and instead angered the corpse baby, which had just been happy. It opened its mouth even wider, revealing all its sharp teeth, and pounced on Ye Jing'an.
"Brother Liu, it's here with me!" Ye Jing'an jumped up and dodged, running in the direction Liu Muzhe and Qiu Zimu had just gone.
