"Oh! Enough, enough, it's almost dawn, we have to leave first, bye bye kid!"
With that, the phantoms all vanished from their spots, disappearing without a trace. The little boy stared at them, utterly bewildered.
Watching the phantoms suddenly disappear from the room, Mo Lin Yu snapped back to reality and frantically searched the room.
But in the small room, he couldn't find even half a shadow of the phantoms.
Mo Lin Yu, "......"
Glancing at the sky gradually brightening outside the window, Mo Lin Yu stood rooted to the spot for a long time, lost in thought.
Only when the sunlight climbed to his feet did he come back to his senses, quickly washed his face, and started doing his homework...
It was already noon by the time he finished his homework.
Mo Lin Yu put away his homework, peeked into the refrigerator in the kitchen, took out some food to eat, and then went out with money. He returned and went to sleep.
He slept until evening.
Soft moonlight slowly spilled into the room, falling on the face of the little boy on the bed.
Suddenly, the eyelashes of the little boy, who was sleeping soundly, trembled, and the next second, his eyes slowly opened.
Staring at the ceiling, Mo Lin Yu's gaze flickered. Suddenly, he thought of something, hurriedly got up, put on his shoes, and took the candles and paper money he had bought that afternoon to the living room.
After arranging the candles, he found a brazier and began burning paper money...
The smoke from the burning paper money quickly drifted out through the open window, and soon it was carried far away...
On the other side, Ming Li, who was searching for the Heavenly Dao, suddenly sensed something, frowned, and her figure flashed as she disappeared from her spot, quickly appearing in an old residential area.
Looking at a wide-open window on a certain floor of one of the buildings, Ming Li raised an eyebrow and floated up.
"What are you doing?"
Mo Lin Yu, who was burning paper, was startled by the voice that suddenly came from beside his ear. He came back to his senses, looked up with surprise, and indeed saw the figure he had been longing for, "Sister!"
Ming Li waved her hand, and a gust of wind blew, extinguishing the flames in the brazier without scattering a single speck of ash.
Seeing that the woman in front of him didn't speak, Mo Lin Yu quickly wiped the tears from his face, got up, and walked towards Ming Li. As he got closer, he could finally see Ming Li clearly, and the numerous scars all over her body, deep enough to see bone, terrifying to the extreme.
Mo Lin Yu was not afraid at all, his face was full of heartache as he stood there, crying helplessly and not knowing what to do. "Sister, what... what happened to you?"
Ming Li was silent for a moment. Meeting the little boy's bewildered gaze, Ming Li said lightly, "It's nothing, I was just dismembered by accident. It's not a big problem."
Upon hearing this, Mo Lin Yu's tears instantly burst forth, his small figure instantly turning into a crying mess, sobbing self-reproachfully, "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault for not protecting you! Sister..."
Ming Li frowned and said, "What are you crying for, you little brat?"
"Sister! Who? Who hurt you! I want to avenge you!"
Mo Lin Yu wiped the tears from his face, his gaze determined, and said word for word to Ming Li.
Seeing this, Ming Li waved her hand carelessly, "No need, I'll do it myself." This was the mission target, and if something happened to him, what would happen to her mission? It was better to stay put.
Hearing this, Mo Lin Yu shook his head, "Sister..."
Meeting the little boy's undeniable gaze, Ming Li's lips twitched slightly. This little brat, at such a young age, had the demeanor of a male protagonist. Who did he learn from?
Finally, under the little boy's persistent pestering, Ming Li told him. After speaking, she seemed to recall something and said, "The person has already been caught, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, the little boy thought of the man who had been caught earlier. He just nodded, his expression unchanged, and said, "I know, Sister." As he spoke, he thought of something and said, "Sister, I clean your room every day, you should go to sleep..."
Halfway through his sentence, Mo Lin Yu's tears began to flow again, and he cried uncontrollably.
