Chapter 88: It was me who said it

Wu wu wu, sister, is it really you?

Four floor, second room on the left.

Several children kidnapped by traffickers were given sleeping pills by the traffickers and were sleeping deeply, with only one spared.

He was the little girl Yangyang’s younger brother, Bai Zixuan, with a persistent high fever, continuously unconscious.

Half asleep and dazed, his consciousness foggy, he felt his whole body burning like a small furnace, sticky sweat clinging to his skin, soaking his T-shirt. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes and, by the faint moonlight, realized he was in an unfamiliar environment.

His limbs were weak and sore, and when he tried to speak his throat felt as if it were smoking dry.

If there were water in front of him now, he could drink a whole jug!

“Xuanxuan!”

The little girl hiding in fear in the corner saw her brother wake up from the wooden bed and, regardless of the two adult ghosts present, hurried over to him.

Wu wu, sister, where is this?

Bai Zixuan did not see the two ghosts slightly farther away, only noticing his familiar sister.

He was burning with fever, limbs weak, head heavy and painful, and upon seeing a familiar person he immediately felt wronged and wanted to cry.

“It’s okay, sister will soon take you home to see mom and dad.”

As for appearance, the little girl looked even younger than Bai Zixuan.

This was natural.

The little girl died when she was only seven, but her younger brother Bai Zixuan was eight this year.

When Bai Zixuan was very young, he could see the little girl.

But he could not see her all the time, only at special times.

For example when he was sick, when he encountered danger, when he was sad or in pain... his sister was always by his side.

In little Bai Zixuan’s heart, his sister was a far more important existence than other family members.

“I don’t want mom and dad, I want sister.”

Bai Zixuan suddenly thought of something, tears pa pa falling down.

“They are all bad people, all of them are bad people!”

The little girl’s smile faded, and she said seriously, “They are Xuanxuan’s relatives, you cannot say that.”

Bai Zixuan sat on the bed kicking and making a fuss.

He cried while saying, “They are bad people, murderers! They are the people who killed sister!”

The little girl fell silent, quietly sitting on the dirty wooden bed watching her continuously crying and making a fuss brother.

Her dark ghost eyes seemed to be pondering something.

At this moment, the female ghost and male ghost in the room leaned closer.

“Girl, what’s wrong?”

Because the yin energy here was too heavy, Bai Zixuan’s high fever caused his soul and body not to fully align, he could not only see the two ghosts but also hear them.

With just one glance, his little face turned deathly pale.

He let out a miserable cry, “Sister, I am scared, there are ghosts,” and tried to hide behind the little girl.

However the next second he trembled and cried to the two ghosts, “You want to eat, eat, eat me... don’t eat my sister...”

Before today, he had never seen any ghosts other than his sister.

But he also knew ghosts were very frightening beings; they harmed people, ate people, and killed people!

They not only harmed living people, they also harmed weaker ghosts.

He was clearly terrified to death, his eyes filled with a pitiful ring of red veins, yet he could still suppress his fear and speak to the fierce ghosts.

He was a man, and a man must protect his sister.

Too cute!

Thus, the two ghosts made a decision.

“Why don’t you both stay and be our children, then we will have both a son and a daughter!”

Bai Zixuan was so scared he forgot to cry: “???”

The little girl shook her head in refusal.

“No, my younger brother is alive, he has mom and dad.”

The female ghost’s eyes flashed with a crimson red, but she was wary of the triangle in the little girl’s hand and suppressed her negative emotions.

That thing was very sinister.

The female ghost persisted in trying to persuade the little girl and Bai Zixuan, “Wouldn’t it be fine if your brother just died? Living here is great, then we would be a family of four. You would have a mom and dad, and we would have a son and a daughter, how nice. We as a couple really want a child, we will not let you siblings become wandering lonely ghosts.”

“No means no!” She shoved the triangle in her palm into her brother’s hand and said to him, “Go downstairs to find a big sister.”

Bai Zixuan shook his head, “No, I want sister.”

The female ghost fanned the flames from the side.

“You may not want to, but you must want to. Anyway your brother is very sick; after two more days of fever he will die.”

In their territory and still want to run?

The little girl said, “No, my brother was abducted by people, the police uncle will come to save him, he will not die.”

The big sister is still downstairs.

Repeatedly refused, the female ghost became somewhat furious.

As rage surged, ghost energy went out of control, her pitch black ghost eyes instantly turned eerie crimson red.

“Then I will kill him, let’s see if he dies!”

The female ghost’s long hair rapidly grew, like countless clawing black seaweed attacking the little girl and them.

Crash.

“At this hour still so lively, what are you doing?”

A languid female voice carried a somewhat irritating teasing tone.

The one person and three ghosts looked toward the door; the old dilapidated door finally let out a dying wail and was defeated under a long leg.

With that loud sound, three different talismans flew toward them.

“Come over.”

Pei Ye disliked the trafficker blocking the way, kicked her aside a bit, and stepped over.

“What are you standing there for?”

The little girl froze, only then realizing Pei Ye was calling her.

“No... big sister, my brother is still sick.”

Although big sister had subdued two ghosts, she was still not at ease leaving her brother.

Pei Ye stepped forward and touched Bai Zixuan’s forehead with her palm; his temperature was indeed very high, and his lips were so dry they were peeling.

She used her fingertip to draw a fever-reducing talisman on his forehead, and later would go to a nearby pharmacy to buy children’s fever patches.

Bai Zixuan stared at Pei Ye without blinking, watching her finger trace on his forehead.

“Eh... it seems... not so uncomfortable anymore...”

A cool breath spread from his brow to his brain, then down throughout his whole body.

As this flow of energy spread, the weak nauseous feeling also lessened.

“So amazing!”

“It’s only temporary, illness still requires seeing a doctor, taking medicine and injections.”

Pei Ye extinguished his hope of not taking medicine or injections.

Illumination talismans emitted a warm orange light, lighting up the entire room.

Pei Ye saw that besides Bai Zixuan there were other kidnapped children in the room.

A four or five year old boy, a seven or eight year old girl, and a baby tightly wrapped in a white small blanket.

With experience, she quickly checked and knew these three children had all been drugged.

“No wonder they are sleeping so soundly; even all this commotion did not wake them. These traffickers, even dismembering them into eight pieces would not be enough to repay their crimes.”

After confirming the children were fine, Pei Ye finally had time to deal with the two ghosts.

“I just seemed to hear someone say, ‘Then I will kill him, let’s see if he dies?’”

The silent male ghost spoke first.

“It was me.”
