While Yili was thinking, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Damn it, don't tell Ishtar about me, or I'll be finished!"
After Bill Xiaoliu finished speaking, he disappeared along with the mark.
Yi Li: "..."
Ishtar's voice rang out from outside the door: "Sister, are you awake?"
Yili walked to the door and opened it, only to see Ishtar standing outside, looking at him: "What do you want from me?"
Ishta brought a bowl of hot and fragrant seafood porridge, which contained Yili's favorite shrimp and crab meat. The color looked very appetizing.
Ishtar looked at Yili with a sweet expression on her face: "Sister, you have slept for so long, you haven't eaten yet, right? I specially cooked your favorite seafood porridge for you."
Yili patted Ishta's head and praised him as usual: "Ishta is so good. Put the porridge on the table. I'll go comb my hair."
"Okay, sister."
When Ishtar turned around to put the porridge in, the tenderness in Yili's eyes disappeared completely.
She turned around and went to the dressing table to tie her hair into a ponytail. She glanced at herself in the mirror and felt something was strange about herself, but she couldn't tell what had changed.
Yi Lilai sat down at the dining table, opposite to Ishta who looked expectant.
Yili simply took two bites and said in surprise, "Ishta, your cooking skills are improving. It's amazing."
Ishtar smiled slightly and said, "As long as my sister likes it."
"By the way, I've been thinking about the enrollment issue your teacher told me about today. I think you should focus on your studies right now. How about you go to school with your teacher to experience it for a week? If it doesn't work out, we can make plans later."
Yili asked Ishtar seriously, his eyes full of respect and expectation.
The corners of Ishta's mouth froze for a moment before she said simply, "Okay, whatever sister wants me to do, I'll do it."
"Ishta is such a good girl. If you get wronged at school, be sure to tell your sister."
"OK."
At the happy dinner table, both of them had their own ulterior motives.
After finishing her porridge, Yili put the bowl into the dishwasher. When she opened her phone, she saw a message pop up on the news push.
Recently, several homicides have occurred in Baihuapu Community. Police investigations have confirmed that the crimes were committed by a single individual. Residents are advised to lock their doors and windows to protect their personal safety. If there are any witnesses, please contact the police.
She scrolled down the messages.
: "Oh my God, is it so scary?"
"No wonder there were so many police cars at the building next door to me in the middle of the night. It turns out someone died. Oh my god, this is so scary. I can't sleep anymore."
"What should I do? I live alone and I don't dare go back now. I live in Baihuapu Community."
"My neighbor died last night. Not a single one of the four of them survived. Oh my god, if I didn't have a mortgage and car loan, I'd want to move. It's too scary."
: "Be careful of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night, hahahahaha!"
Yi Li: "..."
A murderer?
What a coincidence that it happened to be in the neighborhood next to mine.
"Sister, why are you still standing here?"
Ishtar appeared behind Yili at some point.
Yili looked at Ishta with a frightened expression and said, "Ishta, please be careful when you go out recently. There's been a murder in the neighborhood next door. I'll pick you up from school these few days."
"No need, I'll just ask Teacher Zhan Pu to take me back. It would be dangerous for you to pick me up alone, but don't worry, I'll be fine."
Ishtar said as she took out a box of grapes and a box of strawberries from the refrigerator next to her. She went to the kitchen sink and washed the fruits while saying, "I've finished my homework. Sister, come watch a movie with me, okay?"
"OK."
Yi Li did not refuse.
Even if Ishtar was acting strangely, he couldn't notice anything. The only thing she could do right now was to get along with him as usual.
She now had to find out what Ishtar was trying to do.
Is a dungeon boss role-playing with you?
Besides, she probably couldn't kill the boss now. She might die immediately if he punched her.
The movie was chosen by Yili at random. It is called "The Man Behind the Shadow" and it is a horror movie.
It tells the story of a murderer who stalks a woman.
Yili ate the skewers he had just ordered with an expressionless face while watching the TV series with Ishtar.
However, the opening scene made Yili frown slightly.
In the picture, a man in delivery clothes is carrying takeout upstairs.
The takeaway was skewers from the same restaurant as mine.
Yi Li: "..."
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
She suddenly felt that the skewers in her mouth were no longer delicious.
After the man delivered the takeaway, there was a sudden thunder outside and heavy rain began to fall.
As Yi Li was staring intently, a loud thunder suddenly sounded outside.
Yi Li was shocked.
"My bedroom window is not closed. I'm going to close it."
Ishtar sat up from the side and said something to Yili.
Yi Li nodded.
She felt a little numbness in her wrist, and looked down to see the little six with the heart tattoo trembling there.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh shit, why did you choose this horror movie? It's so scary."
Yi Li took a look at the eerie filtered movie. The picture showed a man who had just delivered a takeaway food following a woman who had just got off work. The music was also a bit scary.
"You're not even a human being yourself, why are you afraid of these things?"
"Please, I'm a very timid person, okay."
Bill Xiaoliu's teeth were chattering.
"Then don't look at it."
"No, can you give me a skewer? This looks delicious."
Yili swallowed as he listened to the tattoo: "...How do you want to eat? You don't even have a mouth."
As soon as Yi Li finished speaking, he saw a child like a ghost suddenly appear beside him.
Yili was startled.
"Can you still become a human?"
Bill Xiaoliu couldn't wait to choose a lamb kebab that he had been eyeing for a long time: "Yeah, of course."
Yi Li: "...Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Ishtar?"
"He's not here now, why else do you think I would come out?"
Bill Xiaoliu looked quite cute. Yili wanted to touch it, but the pain went through its body.
"I don't have a physical body yet. When I get out, find me a physical body, and then you can touch me."
Bill Xiaoliu only had food in his eyes, and he spoke while chewing on the skewers.
"Do you like eating these?"
"I've never tasted your food, how could I not like it? God, you humans really know how to enjoy life."
Bill Xiaoliu finished a skewer and obediently threw it into the trash can. He then looked at Yili eagerly: "I haven't eaten enough yet. Can you give me a few more skewers?"
"Eat, eat as much as you want until Ishtar comes back."
Yi Li was not a stingy person, so it was not a problem for her to eat a few skewers. She had ordered a lot of barbecue this time, and she had just eaten porridge and had not digested much yet, so she could not eat so much.
Since it looks so pitiful, just give it more food.
The movie title was randomly chosen, I don’t know if it applies to real life.
