Let's go back to the human realm on the evening of March 12th.
After dinner, Zhong Jiudao drove Xue Yunting, Xue Yungan, and Xia Qianzhen to Yanluo's house.
Nighttime is a good time to deal with the ghosts, but Zhong Jiudao was worried about leaving Xia Qianzhen alone at home, afraid that the girl would be too lonely. Fortunately, the Yanluo family were all girls, and it would be much better for the girls to talk to each other than to be bored at home alone.
After picking up Chi Miaomiao and the Wuchang sisters, along with the AI-powered bionic combat robot Yan Tu, the Ninth Squad headed west of Yangcheng to clear out the remaining half of the ghost clan that hadn't been dealt with the previous night.
As the capital of Guangdong Province, Guangzhou is where all the ghost hunting bureaus in the province must act in accordance with the instructions issued by the Guangzhou Ghost Hunting Bureau. Zhang Bichen sent the message to all the ghost hunting bureaus in the province.
If you can handle the demons yourself, then handle them yourself. If you can't handle them, don't try to be brave. Mark them and report them, and wait for the Ninth Squad to go and wipe them out.
The Ninth Squad's mission was quite demanding.
The remaining half of the Yangcheng West Ghost Clan was not very strong, and was dealt with by Xue Yunting and her brother Xue Yungan.
It was still early, only 10 p.m., and the Ninth Squad drove towards the southern district of Guangzhou.
The projection map that appeared on Yan Tu's palm had already marked the best route. The group planned to deal with a portion of the ghosts in the southern district of Yangcheng and then head home.
There is an old neighborhood in the south of Guangzhou that has been preserved from the last century.
The old neighborhood has many old buildings with a style from the last century. No one has lived there for a long time. Last year, the city issued an official document for the demolition of this area, and the residents happily moved away.
Chi Miaomiao had heard about the recent situation in the old neighborhood. It was said that several workers had been inexplicably injured during the demolition work.
She felt that this was inextricably linked to the demon race.
When an accident occurs in the old neighborhood under construction, news spreads like wildfire, and residents of the surrounding neighborhoods avoid the area like the plague.
At the invitation of a classmate he usually hangs out with, Luo Zixi dragged Fu Hao along to explore this old neighborhood.
A group of teenagers were wandering aimlessly through the dark construction zone of the old street, carrying flashlights. A quarter of the old street had been demolished, but the rest remained intact.
Even in its dilapidated state, one can still feel the vibrant atmosphere of the area. The low-rise buildings, rusty balconies or window railings, and old shop signs all tell the story of this old neighborhood.
Although Luo Zixi, who has become a ghoul, is stronger than Fu Hao, she is still like an ordinary girl, and will fearfully hold Fu Hao's hand when faced with dark environments.
On the other side of Luo Zixi walked a boy and a girl, and in front of them walked two more boys and a girl. The five of them were children from the surrounding neighborhood. They used to run and play in this old neighborhood with the highest foot traffic, and they were very reluctant to see it demolished.
After the rumors of ghosts spread, the demolition of the old neighborhood was forced to stop. The teenagers then made a pact to come here one last time and see if the ghosts in the rumors really existed.
The group of seven nervously shone their flashlights around the old buildings, fearing that something terrifying might suddenly jump out from somewhere.
The March night carried the chill of the recently passed winter. A girl wearing a knee-length skirt, walking beside Luo Zixi, suddenly felt something touch her right leg.
Hu Shasha screamed in fright.
"ah!"
Everyone was drawn to her shout and stopped. Luo Zixi quickly turned to look at Hu Shasha, and the flashlight beams were all focused on Hu Shasha and the boy next to her.
The two were momentarily blinded by the light, and the others quickly moved the flashlights down to avoid shining them on them continuously.
"Shasha, what's wrong?" Luo Zixi looked at Hu Shasha with concern in his bloodshot eyes.
Hu Shasha and Mao Shanshan, who were walking ahead, were Luo Zixi's best friends whom she met again after she got together with Fu Hao. She completely cut ties with the followers who had gathered around her because of her father.
For Luo Zixi, Hu Shasha and Mao Shanshan, who are both excellent in character and academics, are people she can befriend and befriend, and she can treat them as equals, which is what Luo Zixi truly wants.
Hu Shasha fearfully clung to Luo Zixi's arm, but hidden by his sleeve, she didn't feel the coldness emanating from him.
"Yes, someone touched my leg!"
Mao Shanshan leaned closer to the boy next to Hu Shasha and teased, "Jun, even if you like Shasha a lot, you can't take advantage of the darkness to touch Shasha's legs!"
The boy called "A-Jun" blushed instantly. He hurriedly waved his hands and stammered, "No, no, no, it wasn't me. Even if it were me, I wouldn't... secretly touch Sasha."
"I will touch her openly and honestly!" Ah Jun was a little excited. On a whim, he shouted out these words without knowing where the passion came from.
Upon hearing this, the two boys who were originally walking in front started cheering and ran to Ah Jun's side, hugging his neck and teasing him for a while.
None of them paid much attention, and even Hu Shasha herself was less afraid because the laughter had lessened her fear, and she didn't care so much about what had touched her leg.
After adjusting their mood, the group walked forward together again, the beams of their flashlights once more like mischievous children running wildly across the surrounding building walls.
Mao Shanshan suddenly pointed to a shop and said, "Uncle Fu's snack shop, I miss it so much!"
Everyone looked in the direction Mao Shanshan was pointing.
Uncle Fu's snack shop is a two-story building. The upstairs is where Uncle Fu lives, as the girl mentioned, while the downstairs is the snack shop that is often visited by many children.
The beams of flashlights all shone towards the shops on the first floor, except for Hu Shasha's flashlight beam, which shone on the second floor.
Hu Shasha screamed in terror again.
"There's a ghost!!"
Terrified, she buried her face in Ah Jun's arms, trembling in the boy's embrace.
Luo Zixi shone her flashlight into the second-floor window but saw nothing. She asked Hu Shasha, "Shasha, what did you see?"
Hu Shasha nestled in Ah Jun's arms, covering her head, and said fearfully, "It's Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu is at the second-floor window!"
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. The two boys who had been walking in front, Ahui and Arong, stepped forward and easily pulled open the old roller shutter door of the snack shop.
The room was empty, except for a few dusty glass cabinets that had been used to store snacks during my childhood.
Fu Hao and Luo Zixi exchanged a glance and then said, "Ahui and Rong, lead the way, let's go to the second floor and take a look."
"Okay!" the two boys answered in unison.
I used to frequent Uncle Fu's snack shop. Uncle Fu was a kind and honest man who had no children. It is said that he married a woman when he was young, but she died of illness, and he never remarried.
The boys and girls often went to play on the second floor of Uncle Fu's house at his invitation, as he liked children, and they were quite familiar with the layout of the house.
After arriving at the back of the shop, the three boys went upstairs. When they came down again, Luo Zixi saw Fu Hao shake his head.
