Chapter 6: The Ghost Presses
"Because I've seen it, and I've killed it. β
"Really?" As if something fell into her eyes, Nancy's amber eyes rippled slightly, she buried her head in a bite of the fried egg, and then gently pulled the topic away, "Aren't you going to wake up Hangnuo? β
Cheng Ran glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was already 6:30, Shinan Primary School started morning self-study at 7:25, he usually sent Hangnuo to school at 7:20 and then rushed to work at the pet store at 8 o'clock.
He hadn't told Hangnuo about dropping out of school.
He was about to take Hangnuo to the pet store first when there was a sudden loud movement in Hangnuo's room, and the bed board hit the ground violently, mixed with the shrill crying of a child.
Cheng Ran's face changed, and he rushed into Hangnuo's room with a big stride.
Nancy wanted to see the excitement, so she stuffed the last half of the fried egg into her mouth and hurried over. As soon as he entered the room, Hang Nuo was lying flat on the bed, the quilt had been completely kicked off, his hands were scratching out of thin air, his legs were desperately kicking the bed, a pair of reddened eyes were about to crack, and his pale face was full of sweat and tears, full of horror. He struggled to say something with his mouth wide open, but all that came out of his throat were a few monotones out of tune.
"Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo!" Cheng Ran hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, "Uncle is here!" Cheng Ran wanted to grab his hand that was waving like crazy, Hang Nuo trembled all over, as if he didn't realize Cheng Ran's approach at all.
"Damn, the ghost presses you!" Nancy Luo teleported to Cheng Ran's side, grabbed his vest and pulled it back, "The person who is pressed by the ghost must not wake up." β
Hangnuo's very impactful cry and overly terrifying crazy appearance made Nancy Luo suddenly forget to use this to blackmail Cheng Ran to make a wish, her eyes were covered with a layer of blood, and everything around her began to distort and melt, gradually forming a new world. In this world, the toys that were discarded and destroyed at will on the ground flashed over a hideous and empty face, they were laughing or crying or fierce and vicious, in this small space full of noisy sounds from all directions like a tide, countless phantoms swirled in front of Nancy's eyes infinitely magnified, her face was a little pale, and pushed a spiritual power, the chaotic images in front of her were eliminated from her heart, and her eyes fell back on the bed, Hangnuo's body, at this moment, there was a huge ghost lying on his stomach, wrapped in scale armor, and his open blood basin mouth was enough to swallow a big watermelon, and Harazi flowed Hangnuo's bodyγ
Hangnuo desperately swung his fist at it to chase it, but his hand passed through the goblin's body again and again, and the goblin's green slime-stained body touched his body like a substance, and wrapped around it tightly.
Nancy Luo found the goblin very strange, its body was somewhere between nothingness and reality, and was gradually evolving into reality, the goblin's gray-black withered hands grabbed Hangnuo's shoulders hard, and pulled its huge body forward little by little, as if to pull its body out of some space that did not belong here.
Cheng Ran watched Nancy's eyes turn into a blood-like red, and the expression on his face changed several times, but he couldn't see anything, he only saw Hangnuo trembling and twitching on his bed, that kind of panic and helplessness. Cheng Ran turned sideways slightly, the initial worry in his eyes dissipated, replaced by cold anger, and a knife glowing with black and purple light quietly appeared in his hand.
But before he could make a move, Nancy Luo had already pounced on the head of Hangnuo's bed, and between the lightning and flint, Cheng Ran only saw Nancy Luo's two hands wrapped around Hangnuo as if she had grabbed something, she pulled back a few times, and the ghost did not move like a mountain. Then Cheng Ran saw Nancy Luo raise one foot against the edge of the bed, as if she was pulling something back with the strength of breastfeeding, the posture was extremely indecent and weird, and even a little funny.
But his heart hung over Hangnuo, and he couldn't laugh at all.
With a loud "bang", Nancy finally ripped the fat man off Hangnuo's body, and the huge backward momentum made her roll on the ground with a ghost in her arms for several weeks and crash into the door of the room, and she didn't forget to spit in her busy schedule, "Damn, it's dead." β
A mantis-like scythe slashed down from her side with a blast of wind.
"Brother Ghost, something's wrong...... Let's discuss it, don't move your liver?" Nancy smiled stiffly.
When the crushed ghost was pulled down by Nancy, Hangnuo's breathing suddenly became smoother, and he sat up and cried profusely. Cheng Ran hurriedly went over and hugged him in his arms, "Don't be afraid, uncle is here, uncle is here." He knew it hadn't gone out yet, but he couldn't see it, his teeth chattering, his anger uncontrollable.
He should have carried that artifact with himβCheng Ran thought regretfully.
Nancy Luo was still fighting with the two mantis scythes of the big mouth, she looked cowardly, and the nonsense she spoke was particularly cowardly, but for some reason, the ghost was always confined by Nancy Luo to a three-inch place near the door, and even his weapon could not go around Nancy Luo's back once.
The black steel ring on the middle finger of Nancy's right hand has an iron beast on it, and the red light between the teeth of the beast is shriggling/moving, as if something is about to come out.
The corners of Nancy's mouth hooked slightly.
At this moment, Hangnuo, who was sobbing in Cheng Ran's arms, was full of excitement, and suddenly stopped crying. He looked at Nancy's back, his eyes were getting darker and darker, bottomless, and he saw that three people gradually differentiated from the girl's body, one of which was a young woman, white clothes better than snow, drunk with the raindrops. Another woman's plum blossom falls on her forehead, with wide sleeves and flowing immortals, and her mother is the world. The third of them is beautiful and enchanting, a phoenix golden hairpin, and a red-clothed bare hand.
The three of them turned around at the same time and smiled silently at Hangnuo.
Hangnuo's face turned pale, holding back tears, and his little hands tightly grasped the clothes on Cheng Ran's chest. He endured it for a while, instinctively disgusted, and grabbed a random toy from the bedside and smashed it at Nancy.
The three afterimages returned to Nancy at the same time.
Focusing on the goblins, Nancy Fall paid no attention to the toys flying behind her.
Seeing that the toy was about to smash on Nancy's back, something flew from Cheng Ran's hand to knock the toy away, and at the same time, the red light flashed between the teeth of the ring beast in Nancy's hand, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, and the next moment, a red mark appeared on the ghost's neck, and its head rolled down little by little, and at the moment it landed, it turned into green smoke and dissipated.
Nancy turned around and cast a 'comforting' look at Cheng Ran. The implication couldn't be clearer, there is a danger to your life by your side, for the sake of me saving Hangnuo, big brother, please hurry up and give three wishes.
Cheng Ran took Hangnuo out for breakfast, and when he passed by Nancy, he just said "thank you." Nancy sat sullenly on the living room couch, feeling more and more that she had lost a lot.
The sudden change made Cheng Ran sweat, he went back to the room to change his clothes, hesitated, opened the locked drawer on the bedside, and took out the black box that was placed in the drawer, inside was a black necklace pendant, I can't tell what texture it was, there was occasionally a hint of gold light on the texture, and the filling inside was flowing, as if it was alive. Cheng Ran casually found a black rope and tied the pendant around his neck, and the black stone was placed close to his body, cold and cold.
It was 6:55 when he left the room, Hangnuo only ate a little breakfast and didn't eat, he put down the utensils and went back to the room, and waited at the door with his schoolbag on his back two minutes later. Cheng Ran, who was abnormally mechanically abiding by the time, walked out of the room with Hangnuo at exactly 6:55 every day.
Nancy was leaning back comfortably on the couch, a popsicle in her mouth, ready to watch a good show.
Cheng Ran didn't react at first, and it wasn't until he saw the schoolbag that Hangnuo was carrying behind him that he hadn't told Hangnuo that he wouldn't go to school, and he didn't know what to say. Children who isolate themselves from the world are always quite sensitive inside.
"Nono, drink the milk before leaving, or you'll be hungry at noon." β
Hangnuo was already a little anxious, and he kept looking up at the clock on the wall.
Cheng Ran sighed and decided to take him to the pet store first, and then slowly think about how to tell him about it on the way.
It's not the same as going to school. When they entered the first fork, Hangnuo hummed and chirped bitterly, refusing to continue walking forward, dragging Cheng Ran back with all his might, wanting to return to the straight road they usually walked. Hang Nuo couldn't speak, and his mouth kept making a very strange single sound, and he was so anxious that he wanted to cry.
"Nono, Hangnuo! We're not going to school today. Cheng Ran didn't have a problem with him, and he had a headache.
After hearing this, Hangnuo became more and more anxious, and he almost sat down on the road.
The two were pulling on the street, and there were more and more onlookers, pointing and pointing.
"This is not child trafficking. β
"Call the police, call the police quickly. β
Cheng Ran had to explain with a smile: "I'm sorry, he's my son." β
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, Hangnuo screamed like a cat that suddenly exploded, bit Cheng Ran's wrist, and ran towards the straight road the moment Cheng Ran took advantage of it.
"Hangnuo!" Cheng Ran didn't care about the pain in his hands, and squeezed through the crowd to chase after him.
The crowd immediately exploded, "And say it's not child trafficking! Hurry up and call the police!"
Quite a few people took out their mobile phones.
"Ah, isn't this Xiao Cheng?" Aunt Lan, who was shopping for vegetables, happened to be passing by.
The middle-aged aunt who had just knocked on 110 under the screen pushed the glasses that were about to slide off the bridge of her nose, "Do you know this bastard?
Aunt Lan smiled: "Mistaken, mistaken, that kid is his son!"
The woman's eyes widened: "You can't be an accomplice, right? This bastard looks so young, he has such a big son? I just saw the child bite him and escape!"
Aunt Lan sighed: "Xiao Cheng is not easy, a man of this age, with strong blood, is also a boy who has not grown up, but now he has to be tied up by a child, that child has autism, he has not spoken since he was a child, and he doesn't know if he is dumb, and there is no woman at home, how much time does a big boy have to spend and how much care and patience to learn to read and understand others to take care of his family that should not belong to his age." β
At the end of the straight, Cheng Ran caught up with Hangnuo.
In the room, after Cheng Ran and Hangnuo left, the smile on Nancy's face disappeared.
