Chapter 263 Strange Ghostly Shadows



This infuriated his two older brothers, Li Muxing and Li Muchen. Li Muchen immediately took out his phone and dialed his younger brother Li Muhao's number. However, the moment the call connected, Li Muhao's voice came through to Li Muchen's ears.

"Second brother, why don't you go with eldest brother to buy a cup of milk tea? I'll take little Yanbao upstairs to take a look!"

Although Li Muchen was furious about Li Muhao's monopolization of Xiao Yanbao, he couldn't argue with him. He could only let the other party hang up the phone, then turned to his older brother, who also had a resentful look in his eyes, and said:

"Alright, I'll treat you and the mango pomelo sago dessert, and I'll buy Yanbao a cup later. I won't buy the third one, or he'll be craving it!"

Li Muxing nodded silently, turned and walked towards the milk tea shop. She approached the counter and spoke to the smiling cashier:

"Three cups of mango pomelo sago, plus two extra servings of mango!"

After speaking, Li Muxing turned around and said to Li Muchen behind her:

"Pay!"

Li Muchen felt like he had been hurt by his older brother again, and he showed her payment code on his phone, speechless. The two brothers' actions made the cashier smile.

Upon reaching the top floor, Xiao Yanbao and Li Muhao finally saw the faint ghostly figure.

Only then did they realize that the other person was a bald, burly man, perhaps because he had tattoos all over his body when he was alive.

Even though he had become a ghost, some of the tattoo patterns could still be seen.

Be careful!

Xiao Yanbao gently tugged at Li Muhao, who was about to step forward, and reached out to stop the calligraphy brush in Li Muhao's hand.

The ghostly figure slowly passed through a locked fire door, and then the ghost's aura gradually faded in Xiao Yanbao's perception.

Xiao Yanbao stared at the fire door with a strange expression, trying hard to sense what was behind it. However, he found that his senses seemed to fall into a fog after passing through the door, and he couldn't even tell which way to go, let alone find the ghostly figure.

"Something's strange here. I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to get in!"

Li Muhao assumed Xiao Yanbao meant they couldn't open the door. He carefully examined the company name on the warning sticker on the wall, stroked his chin for a moment, then chuckled at Xiao Yanbao and whispered:

"It's okay, we can get there. This shopping mall should be under my name."

After saying this, Li Muhao took out his phone and called the trust company that helped manage his family's assets. Not long after Li Muhao hung up the phone, a middle-aged man in a suit came running over, panting.

"Mr. Li, hello! I am the deputy general manager in charge of the mall's daily operations. You can call me Xiao Yang. I didn't know you were here, please forgive me!"

Li Muhao first gave Xiao Yanbao a look that said, "Look how awesome I am!", then pointed to the fire door and said:

"What's behind the door? I want to go and see! Manager Yang, please open the door!"

When Deputy General Manager Yang heard Li Muhao's words, he was first taken aback, and then he quickly took out a large bunch of keys from his bag.

"Alright, Mr. Li, but I'm not quite sure what's behind this. I only remember that this door was installed a long time ago, and it should just be for fire prevention!"

As he spoke, Deputy General Manager Yang found the key with the same number as the fire door, and then awkwardly inserted it into the keyhole on the ground.

Perhaps because the door hadn't been opened for a long time, the lock was rusted, and it took Deputy General Manager Yang a while to open it.

The instant Deputy General Manager Yang raised the roller shutter, Xiao Yanbao and Li Muhao immediately pulled the other person up from the ground.

At first, the other party didn't know what they had discovered. They just thought that Li Muhao was concerned about them and were about to express their gratitude when they found that the entire passage was filled with a musty smell.

"Gentlemen, this place probably contains some useless junk. I'll have someone clean it up in a bit!"

Li Muhao first waved his hand, and then tried to use the magic artifact to sense the trace of the ghostly figure, but found that the magic artifact did not react at all.

Even Xiao Yanbao, who was standing nearby, couldn't sense the ghost's presence.

And the feeling of being lost in the fog disappeared as the roller shutter door rose...
