At the cost of a sack of grain, it took almost no time for Qi Lin and Angel to hire three or four laborers to help them dig up Angel's father's bones from under the house.

Looking at the corpse whose flesh and blood were blurred and no longer could see the specific appearance, Qi Lin subconsciously felt that something was wrong, according to Angel's description, his father should be seriously ill and had not eaten for a long time.

And although the corpse in front of him was also very thin, it did not seem to have the severe consumption of fat layer characteristic of long-term hunger, and if these can be explained by the fact that his original fat reserves are sufficient, then the calluses on this man's hands and feet are even more weird.

You must know that Angel's father rarely works by himself, and in Angel's description, he is almost a waste person who is not diligent, how can such a person have such thick calluses on his hands and feet.

Moreover, these calluses are still in some places where they can only be used for farm work, and there is not much farm work to do in this slum, which is originally a gathering place for farmers who have lost their land.

The men here usually do odd jobs in the city or do some work to make ends meet.

Either Angel's father usually works hard in the fields without Angel's knowledge, or the body in front of her is not her father.

But what's the point, it's not uncommon to find a corpse of similar height and size to fake your own death, but is a man in a slum using this? Or does Angel's father have a more mysterious identity?

When he thought of this, Qi Lin suddenly remembered Angel's appearance of striking a match in his eyes, could it be that all this was not his hallucination?

But looking at Angel's lying on the corpse and crying, Qi Lin also knew that now was not the time to delve into this kind of thing, not to mention that even if it was investigated, what could Angel know.

Qi Lin then buried these doubts in his heart, and he carried the corpse, which was most likely not Angel's father, into a wheelbarrow and pushed it back to the grain store.

Pushing the corpse and looking at the closed door, the long hair of Angel that he was wrapped around the door had already broken off, which showed that someone had entered the grain store through the gate before.

Those rats really didn't give up, Qi Lin sneered, and then quietly took Angel to push the corpse into the store.

Qi Lin's body was carried up to the second floor to put Bilodo's body together, and then he asked Angel to bow down to the corpse according to Chinese custom.

When Angel was incense, Qi Lin looked at the mechanisms he had prepared in the store alone, and the mechanisms that Qi Lin hastily made before leaving were very simple, but they were similar to the hair wrapped around the door, although it was simple, it could also tell whether anyone had broken in.

"There are people breaking into every room, but they don't touch the glass bottles and food, which shows that the other party is not trying to make money, after all, those glass bottles should be worth some money here, everything is placed in place, these guys don't want to alarm me, which shows that the priest's protection is still useful, but what are they looking for?"

Qi Lin frowned, and after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was in this dilapidated grain store that could be worth the painstaking efforts of these rats.

Angel, who had finished incense on the two bodies, walked to Qi Lin's side, and when she saw Qi Lin's frowning appearance, her small mouth opened and wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

"Brother, I'll tell you a secret, you won't hate me, right?" Angel looked at Qi Lin's appearance, hesitated for a long time before asking a little uneasy.

Looking at Angel's appearance, Qi Lin put down the thoughts in his heart and said a little dotingly: "How come, I am your brother, no matter what kind of secret I have, I will not hate you." ”

Hearing Qi Lin's words, Angel took a long deep breath, and with her slightly baby fat face, it was indeed a little cute, just looking at her made Qi Lin smile involuntarily.

Seeing Qi Lin's smile, Angel pouted and said: "It's not a joke, it's really a secret, a big secret, Dad never let me tell others, but now that Dad is gone, I want to tell my brother, but brother, don't hate me because of this." ”

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening carefully to your big secret. Qi Lin rubbed the top of Angel's head dotingly.

"I'm a monster!" Angel said to Qi Lin in a whisper as she looked around.

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What? monster?"

Angel nodded a little sadly and said, "Well, it's a monster, Dad said it, so he never let me say it to other people, because others will hate me because I'm a monster." ”

Then she didn't wait for Qi Lin to ask, she directly took out a match she carried with her and struck it.

The flames on the match swayed and emitted a faint light, and under Qi Lin's gaze, these lights slowly began to condense in the air, and then a figure exactly like Qi Lin appeared in front of Qi Lin.

This figure was like Qi Lin's twins, wearing the same clothes as Qi Lin, and his expression was full of surprise and a hint of understanding like Qi Lin.

Looking at the figure like a projection of himself, Qi Lin took a deep breath, and then he slowly stretched out his hand and touched it.

"It's actually touched, is it an entity?" Qi Lin muttered as he touched the figure that looked exactly like himself.

Just as Qi Lin wanted to further study what the existence of that figure was, that figure suddenly and completely disappeared into the air.

Qi Lin turned her gaze to Angel, and at this moment the match in her hand had been extinguished, leaving only a small remnant of the match glowing red in Angel's hand.

And Angel looked at Qi Lin's reaction nervously as if she was facing the judge's final verdict at this moment.

"Did you make that thing just now?" Qi Lin looked at Angel curiously.

Angel nodded, and said worriedly: "Well, so I'm a monster, will my brother hate me?"

Qi Lin laughed and said: "How can it be, you are a monster there, your name is Angel, you are an angel, just now it was not the ability of a monster, but your talent, a gift from God." ”

"But Dad said that this is the ability of monsters, so Angel is a monster......" Angel looked at Qi Lin's reaction, still with a nervous expression on her face.

"In the future, no one will say that Angel is a monster, you are an angel, remember?"

Qi Lin looked at Angel's eyes with a serious face and said, the anxiety and nervousness in her big blue eyes slowly began to subside, and the big watery eyes began to slowly bend into a half-moon shape.

"Yes!" Angel replied with a smile.
