In an instant, the once bustling hot pot restaurant became deathly silent.
Li Qichen stood stiffly in place, not daring to move.
Although he didn't see anything, he could clearly feel something coming towards him.
Little Yanbao in her arms clearly saw it too.
Even the unlucky guy sitting on the shoulder became unusually quiet.
Only the sound of the wind constantly whistling past my ears, carrying a sobbing sound, like the crying of a baby, sending chills down my spine.
For a moment, Li Qichen felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Apart from Xiao Yanbao and the unlucky guy beside him, Li Qichen could not hear any other sounds.
The whole world turned pitch black, and even the moon hanging in the sky was obscured by thick clouds.
Summer nights should be hot, and even with the air conditioning on in a hot pot restaurant, there's still a lingering, stuffy feeling.
But at this moment, Li Qichen only felt a little cold.
He unconsciously hugged the little baby in his arms tighter, as if seeking a sense of security, and said with a slight tremor:
"Yanbao, your fourth uncle is a little scared."
In Li Qichen's eyes, Xiao Yanbao was more reliable; she might be able to protect him.
Little Yanbao was already used to her timid fourth uncle. She patted his head reassuringly and said in a childish voice:
"Don't be afraid, Fourth Uncle. They're not coming for us. We're upright and have nothing to fear."
As he spoke, the little boy still looked around warily.
Just then, the unlucky guy sitting on Li Qichen's shoulders seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.
"I think this is a very good opportunity."
Xiao Yanbao and Li Qicheng's eyes both fell on the unlucky guy.
Li Qichen frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean? What good opportunity?"
I have a feeling that this ugly thing isn't up to any good.
really……
"This is a good opportunity for you to train yourself to capture spirits so I can eat them!"
The unlucky guy said it quite naturally, and even felt a little excited.
Because it has sensed a strong resentment from the other party's soul, if it can devour the resentment, it will feel comfortable for a long time!
After all, ghosts don't taste good at all. Eating one ghost will keep you going for days, so why not?
Li Qichen glared fiercely at the unlucky guy and roared in frustration:
"Shut up! This is none of your business. Go play with your nunchucks somewhere else!"
Although he had vowed to catch all the ghosts in the world, when it came to actually doing it, Li Qichen couldn't help but feel flustered.
I'm scared!
The unlucky guy reassured him, "He's just a kid, you can handle him! Trust me!"
"I don't believe you, you big idiot!"
Li Qichen was completely annoyed.
The next second, he felt a weight on his head, as if the unlucky ghost had landed on his head and grabbed his hair with its little claws.
Li Qichen was immediately enraged: "Get off my head! Even if you pull all my hair out until I'm bald like you, I'm not going to catch ghosts!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanbao's eyes widened immediately, and he asked, "Fourth Uncle, who are you talking to?"
"That unlucky guy!"
Li Qichen was about to explode with anger.
Little Yanbao's eyes grew even rounder, and she pointed her little hand towards Li Qichen's shoulder, saying:
"That unlucky old man was sitting on your shoulders the whole time, not on your head, and he certainly wasn't pulling your hair!"
The unlucky ghost shrugged in perfect agreement: "I'm already bald, how can I let my host become bald too? We'd definitely be laughed at by the other ghosts."
"..."
Upon hearing what the little boy and the unlucky guy said, Li Qichen froze completely.
Cold sweat began to pour from my forehead.
His voice changed, filled with terror.
"Who was pulling my hair out of my head?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Li Qichen understood what was happening. He froze, like a wooden stake, not daring to move.
The thing on his head seemed to be crawling all over him; it was a very strange feeling.
Li Qichen was so scared he wanted to scream, but he didn't dare. He just hugged Xiao Yanbao in his arms even tighter.
We must protect their little one!
This was a very instinctive thought of Li Qichen.
At that moment, his eyes seemed to fill with blood, covered with a crimson color, and then many scenes that Li Qichen had never experienced before flashed through his eyes, like a series of slides.
First came a positive pregnancy test with two lines, then two young people embracing each other, weeping with joy at the arrival of their little one.
Then there are scenes of the woman's belly growing bigger day by day, and everyday moments of the man taking meticulous care of the woman in his life.
Then the man went to work, and the woman, pregnant, went downstairs for a walk alone...
Up to this point, all the moments were filled with warmth and happiness, and Li Qichen's gaze softened unconsciously.
But the next second, the tone changed completely.
A pregnant woman was taking a walk, lovingly stroking her belly, when suddenly a flowerpot fell from the upper floor.
It hit the pregnant woman squarely.
