Chapter 263: Anomaly
At seven o'clock in the evening, except for Bai Xiaohan and his party, there were only the couple and the mother and daughter left in the restaurant. Due to the hotel's announcement that it was temporarily closed, the few tenants made the whole hotel extremely deserted.
The husband and wife and the mother and daughter didn't seem to have met before, but they were going to eat at the same table at this time, and they couldn't hide the embarrassment on their faces.
Lu Jingfan was very familiar with the topic of the four people at the dinner table, but the three adults all had their own hearts, but the little girl was very supportive of the topic with him.
"This kid is so cute," Lu Jingfan said, glancing at Star Swirl, "Our family is just... Gee. ”
"Your child is not much older than Qinqin, I think she is very well-behaved and sensible." The woman smiles and looks at Star Swirl.
Star Swirl, on the other hand, keeps an eye on the couple, spotting the obvious anomaly in the man.
Throughout the dinner, he glanced at Qinqin's mother from time to time out of the corner of his eye, with a strange look on his face. It's normal to say that the woman opposite him has a bit of a look, but she is clearly not as attractive as the man's own wife.
A face that is no longer ordinary, the facial features are not brilliant, and the skin is still a little sallow, and it can be seen that the hardships of a person pulling a child are probably what men usually call a "yellow-faced woman".
So why does this man always refrain from sneaking a peek at her? Even his wife was aware of it, glancing coldly at the two of them.
After dinner, the couple quickly left the table, seemingly unwilling to spend more time with them. And the mother and daughter have been closely following Bai Xiaohan.
"I asked the hotel to reopen your room, right next to us." Bai Xiaohan took out a room card and handed it to the woman.
She hurriedly accepted it gratefully: "Officer Bai, I had a bad attitude before, you have to bear with me." ”
"I can understand your feelings." Bai Xiaohan smiled slightly.
The woman hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a low voice, "The master also said that 'that thing' may come back to us again, I'm worried about Qinqin, can you think of a way?" ”
"That's it, Qin Qin will live with me at night, and I'll be a child's stand-in for you, and see if 'that thing' will be fooled." Bai Xiaohan proposed.
"Okay—" The woman nodded incomprehensibly.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiaohan knocked on room 1603 where the mother and daughter lived, and stuffed a pillow for her, "It's simple, you can put Qin Qin's clothes on it." ”
This stand-in is really simple, just sketching a human face on the pillow. The woman was stunned and asked, "This... Will it work? ”
"As long as there is a smell of Qinqin, resentful spirits generally rely on smell to distinguish the difference between people."
The woman took the pillow and whispered softly to her daughter, "Qinqin, let's go play with Sister Star Swirl next door." ”
The little girl clapped her hands happily: "Then can I stay a little longer?" ”
"Yes," the woman touched her daughter's soft bun lovingly, "Let's sleep at Aunt Bai's side when it's late, and I'll pick you up in the morning." ”
"Great! Good night mom. The little girl took Bai Xiaohan's hand and went to the next room, and the woman let out a sigh of relief.
Star Swirl saw the little girl running towards her with cheers, but suddenly she felt like her head was as big as a fight, after all, it would be tiring for her to keep talking in a childish tone.
"I'll leave this kid to you." Bai Xiaohan smiled.
"Teacher Bai, wait for the resentful spirit to come, I don't have a move." Star Swirl said, wrinkling her nose.
"Maybe the wraith isn't targeting this kid at all," Bai Xiaohan looked at the energy lock on Star Swirl's wrist, "When did you start to be unresponsive?" ”
"Shortly after my possession ended, the energy lock stopped vibrating." Star Swirl replied, "Who could be targeted?" ”
---
Although the woman next door was uneasy in her heart, she was still a little more down-to-earth because of Bai Xiaohan's existence. After all, she said about the recent series of encounters between herself and her daughter, so she should be a little magical in "this regard".
I remembered the first time I took my daughter to Yangshan Hot Spring for a vacation two months ago, and somehow my daughter suddenly rolled her eyes like she had fallen into an evil spirit, and talked nonsense inarticulately.
She was so frightened that she took her daughter to a hospital in a nearby county overnight. Strangely, after leaving the resort, the daughter immediately returned to normal.
Maybe it's just because she can't adapt to the water and soil, but a week after returning home, she finds that things are not so simple.
Late one night, she suddenly heard the voice of a strange woman, which was very low, sobbing and muttering slurred sentences. She searched the entire house, and finally found that this strange sound actually came from her daughter's mouth.
The woman took the child to the hospital for various examinations, and nothing unusual was found. It dawned on her that there might be a reason for this, which even science couldn't explain.
So, after several twists and turns, she finally found a "master" who is good at this. And the "master" asserted that his daughter was haunted by resentful spirits and must return to the hotel in Yangshan Resort in order to trace the source and expel this thing from Qinqin's body.
However, I didn't expect that although the resentful spirit left, it might come back. The woman who was lost in thought suddenly heard footsteps in the hallway and couldn't help but get nervous.
The footsteps were soft, and they quietly stopped in front of her door, followed by a few slight knocks.
"Who?" The woman asked in a trembling voice.
"It's me, we met at dinner." A somewhat familiar male voice came from outside the door.
The woman crouched down and saw a pair of dark brown leather shoes through the crack in the door, "Fortunately, it doesn't look like 'that thing'." After confirming the feet of the person outside the door, she looked out from the cat's eye again, and sure enough, she saw the man's face.
It was the man of the couple who was left behind.
Puzzled, she opened the door a crack, stared at the man suspiciously, and asked, "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"Can I go in and say?" The man nervously looked at the sides of the corridor and asked softly.
The woman had no reason to let him in, but in the face of the man's heroic face and gentle eyes, she magically removed the chains from the door.
After the man entered the room, he silently closed the door, and the expression on his face became complicated: "You know Yingying, right?" ”
"Who is Yingying?" The woman looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, and saw the truth in his eyes, as if talking about a lover he hadn't seen for many years.
"Isn't that the person who asked me to meet on the rooftop last night?" The man's emotions were a little agitated.
"Rooftop? What do you mean? The woman was puzzled.
"You deliberately live in room 703 and show up on the rooftop in the middle of the night, you must know something, right? What happened to Yingying, tell me quickly! ”
