All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 214 Zashiki-warashi
There are ghosts!
Ji Ran immediately realized the problem!

"Location!"

"Sent."

Ning Yan's voice trembled, but her actions remained calm.

[Hutian Residential Complex, Building 43, Unit 1, Apartment 601.]

Ji Ran saw the address and quickly checked the route.

It's not far from the headquarters, located next to Central Park in the southern part of the city center.

"Leader!"

Suddenly, Ning Yan's voice became urgent, "It...it's coming in!!"

"Zizzi-"

Immediately afterwards, a cold, static-like sound came through the phone.

Ji Ran walked quickly to the door and locked the office door from the inside.

"Vlad, watch over my physical body."

The next moment, Ji Ran sat down in his office chair. He drew Kunwu from thin air and placed it on his lap. An imperceptible aura of ferocity surged beneath his body.

He didn't think Vlad would do anything to him physically, but he couldn't be too careful.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Ran's primordial spirit, dressed in a blood-red robe, appeared above his head.

"it is good."

A blood-red eye opened on the ring on his left hand.

Vlad responded. In Tianjin, a world dominated by spirits, the primordial spirit was Ji Ran's true form, while the physical body was merely a vessel. He indeed had no designs on the physical body.

At this moment, Ji Ran's primordial spirit glanced out the window, and the last trace of heat on the horizon completely dissipated.

He leaped out of the window, stepping on the Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo.

The sword embryo tore through the black and red killing intent, blocking the invasion of the cold wind, and the black and red shadow vanished in an instant in the night.

……

Tick ​​tock!

Water droplets from her hair dripped onto the smooth floor, and a pair of bare feet stepped on the dark green cushions, close to the bathroom door!
A pink bath towel was wrapped around Ning Yan's body, revealing only her delicate collarbone and calves.

Ning Yan was holding her phone, but all she could hear was the cold static from the other end.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Ning Yan stared intently at the glass door of the bathroom, where tiny footprints were visible through the rising steam, seemingly walking perpendicularly across the frosted glass.

However, Ning Yan did not move away from the bathroom door; instead, she clung to it tightly, gripping the doorknob with both hands!
Just now!

Something outside turned the handle!
After joining the Special Operations Department, Ning Yan learned that supernatural phenomena existed in the world. Especially after spending time with the black dog, she understood that ordinary people simply couldn't resist those strange powers!

So she immediately called Ji Ran.

At this moment, footprints appeared on the glass.

Because Ning Yan was pressed firmly against the door, the footprints were almost right next to her body. The footprints were very small, looking like those of a child.

clap clap!

Suddenly, Ning Yan saw two small hands appear in the space above her head.

Then--

Snapped!
The lights outside were turned off. A thick, dark void descended instantly! Only the flickering heat from the water heater cast a faint, eerie green glow in the bathroom.

Accompanied by the thick steam in the bathroom, fear clung to me like sticky tentacles.

Darkness exacerbates a person's physiological fear.

In particular, just through a pane of glass, there was a non-human creature rubbing its hands and feet, making a soft, rustling sound.

Ning Yan felt goosebumps rise all over her bare skin. The surroundings were eerily quiet; she could only hear her own breathing and her rapid heartbeat.

As her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Ning Yan stared intently at the glass, trying to find any trace of that thing.

Then, without warning—

Snapped!
A pale face slammed against the glass! The entire face was contorted from the force, like a human skin stretched out.

"Ah!" Those dark eyes and the distorted face pressed against the glass made Ning Yan shudder and jump back!
Da da!

After leaving the doormat, Ning Yan slipped on the wet floor and fell directly onto the bathroom floor!
Bang!
Ning Yan's heart skipped a beat!
Finished!

creak-

The bathroom door was pushed open in the darkness.

In the cold, greenish light of the water heater, a pale little hand peeked out from under the door. Then, long, jet-black hair squeezed in from above the hand—

Whoosh!
suddenly!

Ning Yan saw a blood-red halo flash and disappear outside the bathroom!
The little hand that had been reaching in was suddenly pulled away and disappeared.

Ning Yan didn't know what had happened; she just gripped her phone tightly on the ground and stared at the crack in the door that had opened in the darkness.

A faint, cold light crept in through the crack in the door, sending a chill down one's spine in the silence.

"Zizzi-"

"Hey?"

A moment later, Ji Ran's voice suddenly came from the phone!
Ning Yan immediately responded, "Boss!"

"Thing is settled."

"Be careful and it's best to set off for Yashan City as soon as possible."

Ning Yan was startled when she heard the voice.

Solved...solved?

How to solve it?
However, Ning Yan believed Ji Ran's words without a doubt.

"Okay... okay."

Ning Yan heard the other end of the phone hang up, but she was reluctant to put it down, as if that small phone could bring her a great sense of security.

She tiptoed open the door and turned on the light.

The light from the incandescent bulb dispelled the darkness, bringing a sense of relief to Ning Yan.

But the next moment, her throat bobbed, and the entire bathroom, the steamy mirror, the ceiling, and even the walls were covered with a dense array of footprints!
This bizarre scene, overlapping with the狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face from just now, sent chills down Ning Yan's spine.

Hit a ghost!
If... if I weren't the leader, I'd probably be eaten by this demon.

……

General Administration, Office.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"ah!"

A little girl, about forty centimeters tall and dressed in red, was standing on the desk with a curious expression.

Her face was as pale as paper, her skin was delicate, and her eyes were round with large black pupils, revealing only a small amount of white.

Her smooth hair hung down to her waist, and her bangs made her pale, eerie face look a little more innocent.

She had a red string tied around her wrist, and her bare feet were clattering across the table.

【Zashiki Warashi】

Level: 1

Skill - Double Blessing: The Zashiki-warashi brings good fortune to the house it inhabits, cleansing people of negativity and misfortune. (Slightly increases luck and slowly dispels illness and negative effects.)
Skill - Child's Grudge: When enraged, the Zashiki-warashi will steal the target's luck. (Moderately reduces the target's luck value, and increases the probability of receiving negative effects)

Note: Zashiki-warashi likes to play pranks and frighten women or children living alone. However, she is a harmless goddess of fortune and likes to reside in the homes of the poor and kind.

Ji Ran frowned as he looked at the Zashiki-warashi in front of him. The little brat was curiously looking around, but when he looked at him, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

The aura of primordial spirit that Ji Ran had just displayed was terrifying in her eyes.

It could eat itself in one bite.

now.

Ji Ran immediately contacted Xie Yan through the cicada's song.

Although this Zashiki-warashi was not an evil spirit, it had become certain of one thing—

During the Twilight Hour, it spread to the entire East Ninth District!
