C27 (1/2)

Looking at Liu Hao's mother's expression, I knew that she would definitely recognize this little demon. However, I was unable to find a suitable method to communicate with his for a while, so I could only put this thought aside for now.

I turned around and looked at Liu Hao's uncle. I knew clearly in my heart that the most important thing right now was to solve Uncle Liu Hao's problem, otherwise, if that little ghost ran out to mess with his uncle and kill him, wouldn't Liu Hao be blamed?

After making up my mind, I started to think about whether this little brat in front of me is an enemy or a friend, but at the very least, I am sure that he doesn't have any intentions of harming Liu Hao, so before making sense of the situation, I should ask for his safety so that he wouldn't be able to disturb Uncle Liu Hao.

It's a pity that before I came here, I was wholeheartedly focusing on exterminating demons. I only focused on studying the two methods of exterminating demons and inviting them to do so. What should I do now?

It was possible that he had gotten rid of this little brat before he could figure out who he was. If he found out about this little brat's background and found out that it was him, what would he do? Wouldn't it mean that the entire Dragon King's Temple was flooded with water and the entire family wouldn't recognize him?

However, there is still room for negotiation when it comes to ”Please”, ”Ox-Head and Horse-Face”, ”Black and White Impermanence” etc. I know all about them, they are only responsible for restraining the soul and not the extermination of the soul.

However, with this ghost in their hands, would he still be able to come out?

I shook my head again, rejecting the idea.

”What are you thinking?” Liu Hao saw that I was alone there shaking my head, and looked at me with a puzzled expression, then continued to ask me with a low voice: ”Tell me the truth, why did you think of drawing this child's map?”

Liu Hao suddenly asked me this question and I was at a loss. Firstly, it was to scare him, and secondly, I was afraid that he would laugh at my superstition, so I hesitated for a long time without being able to say anything, but then, I thought that this matter would eventually come to an end. Thus, I hooked my arm around his shoulder and pulled him out of the room, and looked straight at him: ”Do you believe what I say?”

”Nonsense, hurry up and tell me. Didn't you see how sad my mother is because of this painting?” Liu Hao said snappily as he turned around to look at his mother who was in the sickroom.

I nodded and looked up at him. ”Do you believe in ghosts?”

”Ghost?” Liu Hao was startled, he looked at me in a daze, and only after a long time did he regain his senses, his voice suddenly became many times louder, as though he was shouting, ”Are you saying …”

Seeing that the situation wasn't good, I immediately covered his mouth, signalling for him to be quiet. At the same time, I confirmed my words and whispered, ”That's right, that is a ghost doll.”

The moment I said those words, Liu Hao's face changed. He tried his best to pry away the hand I used to cover his mouth and asked: ”Ghost doll, where are you?”

It's good that he didn't ask, but as soon as I did, I instinctively glanced at his shoulder. Luckily, he didn't notice my little trick, otherwise, who knows what kind of scare he would have received.

Liu Hao stood in front of me, and didn't say anything for a long time, as though he was accepting this sudden fact.

However, to my surprise, after a long time, he unexpectedly burst into laughter. He patted my shoulder and said, ”Old classmate, how come I haven't seen you become a Divine Staff member in just a few months?”

When I heard that, my face immediately darkened. I thought to myself, ”What are you saying? Why do I feel like this brat doesn't believe what I just said?”

But, looking at Liu Hao, I suddenly had an idea, so I smiled mysteriously: ”You don't believe me, right?

”Bet? What bet?” When Liu Hao heard it, he was also excited, he looked straight at me and asked, showing interest.

Seeing that Liu Hao had the intention to take the bait, I rolled my eyes and laughed: ”Let's bet that your mother knows this child, and that he is dead, how about it?”

”Alright, it's settled then. I'll go ask her once my mother's mood has improved”, Liu Hao didn't think much of it, and agreed without hesitation.

”Tao Tao”, and the two of us muttered for a long time before we returned to the ward. At this moment, Liu Hao's mother looked much better, as he lightly rubbed his eyes and called out to Liu Hao, so I followed as well. Liu Hao's mother raised his head and looked at me, and I didn't know if it was my mistake or not, but there was something else in her gaze.

”Mom, the doctor said that Uncle won't have any big problems with this matter. Just stay in the hospital for a few days.” Liu Hao glanced at the uncle who was lying on the bed motionlessly as he consoled his mother.
