The moment Xia Menglu stepped into the grove, she heard a rustling sound behind her.
She clutched her purse, turned around abruptly, but saw nothing.
She comforted herself, saying, "Don't scare yourself. Besides, I have Kui Kui's amulet to protect me."
Thinking this, she continued to stride briskly into the depths of the grove.
The path leads to a secluded spot, with waist-high bushes on both sides.
"Swish! Swish!"
It looked like a wild cat was darting through the bushes, causing them to tremble.
Xia Menglu clutched her wallet tightly and walked faster and faster.
With a "whoosh," a yellow figure suddenly darted out from the bushes beside her, blocking her path.
Xia Menglu took a closer look and was completely terrified.
That was a person, or more precisely, a baby.
The baby cat is about the same size as an adult orange cat.
It looked strange; it was skin and bones, but its head and belly were unusually large.
It must be a monster.
Xia Menglu forced herself to calm down. Holding her purse protectively in front of her, she shouted, "I'm not afraid of you!"
The ghost baby raised its head at the sound, its black eyes fixed on her, baring its teeth, whether in laughter or anger was unclear.
How can such a young child have a mouthful of teeth? It's terrifying!
Xia Menglu panicked even more, her hands trembling as she rummaged through her wallet for amulets.
No? How could there not be!
The ghost baby tilted its head slightly to look at Xia Menglu, and then pounced on her in the next second.
Xia Menglu was startled and threw her wallet directly at the ghost baby's head.
"Uncle Bai, save me!" she cried out, then turned and ran back.
She kept chanting, "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"
Whenever the ghost baby tries to grab her, it is blocked by a force.
Although this power was weak, it allowed Xia Menglu to escape death every time.
The ghost baby grew increasingly agitated.
She chased after Xia Menglu, howling loudly, her cries sounding just like a cat in spring, quite eerie.
Xia Menglu tripped over a dry branch on the ground and twisted her ankle. She couldn't stand up for a moment and could only move backward using her hands, hips, and feet.
Upon seeing this, the ghost baby leaped into the air, about to pounce on Xia Menglu's face.
Xia Menglu covered her face in panic, but the expected pain did not occur.
She squinted through the gap between her hands.
A tall figure blocked her way.
The black cat's tail stood up, and the hairs on the tail stood up like a thick stick.
Xiao Bai was still seething with anger, not yet having processed the grievances she had just suffered.
The ghost baby ran right into the muzzle of his gun, and he swung his claw at the ghost baby.
"Waaah..."
The ghost baby let out a miserable cry and fell into the grass beside it, rolling three times before regaining its balance.
"You dare touch my people! You've got some nerve! Today I'll beat you to a pulp and make you regret ever being born!"
"Waaah..."
The ghost baby was terrified and fled quickly.
Little White transformed into a black cat and immediately gave chase.
Xia Menglu stared blankly at Xiaobai's departing figure.
Is this what it feels like to be protected by immortals? It feels so safe!
Kui Kui rushed over, bent down to check on her, and asked, "Lulu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Grandpa Bai went after him. Kui Kui, you should go and help too!"
Seeing that Chen Haiguo and Jiang Tangzheng had also followed, Kui Kui handed Xia Menglu over to the two of them and chased after them.
They hadn't run far when they encountered Xiaobai, who looked dejected and frustrated.
"Lost them?"
"Hmm, this little thing isn't very capable, but it runs fast. Aoi, how come there's something like this at school?"
"Could it be someone's pet?"
Whether it was naturally occurring or man-made, Kui Kui dared not make a judgment.
She didn't know how the ghost baby was formed; perhaps she should ask Kui Ziyu or Zhao Xiaoying.
Thinking of Zhao Xiaoying, Zhao Xiaoying called.
"Kui Kui, are you still with Officer Chen? I have some things to tell you."
Kui Kui nodded slightly. Just as he hung up the phone, he heard the sound of fallen leaves being trampled from his left rear.
"who!"
She ran quickly towards the woods to her left and behind, and Xiaobai followed, exclaiming in surprise, "There's no one here!"
Kui Kui gestured for Xiao Bai to look at the ground.
A pair of fresh shoe prints were imprinted on the damp soil.
Judging from the markings, it should be a women's size.
Kui Kui closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In addition to the scents of soil, trees, and grass, she also smelled a faint fragrance of roses.
It's not the scent of real roses, but rather the smell of rose-scented soap.
"There should have been a girl standing here just now."
Since Kui Kui returned the snake fairy's destiny, her five senses have become even more acute.
This change made her somewhat uneasy.
"Let's go see Lulu first."
"Kui Kui!" When Xia Menglu saw her return, she broke free from Jiang Tangzheng's support and hopped on one foot into Kui Kui's arms.
After escaping danger, the image of the ghost baby kept appearing before Xia Menglu's eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Kui Kui hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "It's alright now."
"Did you catch that thing?"
"They ran away."
"Will it continue to harm people?"
“I won’t let her continue to harm people. Uncle Chen, Teacher Zhao just called, and I have some suspicions. I’m planning to go to the hospital. Can I borrow your car?”
