As he was observing, a photo of his wife and daughter slipped out of his pocket and fell to the ground. He reached out to pick it up, but was astonished to find that the ground moved!
The entire pit instantly deformed, and an enormous, earthy, sticky mass slowly expanded, appearing in front of him, blotting out the sky!
Xu Jinan was shocked, but then he discovered that the sticky mass had sprouted a human arm and took the photo.
A human eye appeared on the clump, its gaze fixed on the photograph, as if scrutinizing it.
"An alien species!"
Xu Jinan trembled and collapsed to the ground.
He had never seen such a bizarre creature before!
The sticky mass suddenly floated over, making a strange sound like sand rubbing together: "An alien...human..."
Xu Jinan was so frightened he almost fainted, but suddenly he heard the strange creature say, "What...do you...want?"
The sound was intermittent, but he could hear it very clearly.
He was stunned, and the sticky ball repeated itself, adding:
"I can satisfy everything."
A surge of heat rushed to his head, and he exclaimed in surprise:
Really? Anything?
"yes."
"I want money!" Xu Jinan said without hesitation.
The sticky ball paused for a moment, then said:
"Simple. But it comes at a price."
Xu Jinan was stunned: "I...I have nothing, I don't have anything valuable to give you..."
Sticky Ball waved the photos in her hand: "Do they belong to you?"
Xu Jinan understood, and his face turned ashen.
That night, Xu Jinan went home very early. His wife was puzzled but too embarrassed to ask him anything, so she asked him a few questions in a lukewarm manner. Xu Jinan replied incoherently and then locked himself in the room.
At dinner time, Xu Jinan unusually helped with the cooking. Although his wife didn't say anything, her expression was much better.
Late at night, while his wife was fast asleep, a figure took advantage of the darkness and went up the mountain.
The next day, Xu Jinan was called over by his wife's heart-wrenching screams—their daughter was missing!
