Chapter 11 Level Alert: Ghostly Creatures' Accomplices

Level 1 Alert: For the past week, suspected ghostly creatures—Guhuochang—have appeared in Jing Province. They have a penchant for stealing infants and young children. Thirteen infants and young children have gone missing without explanation.

The disappearance was extremely strange. The child hadn't been out all day, yet he disappeared for no apparent reason! There's no trace of him at all!

The investigation organization suspects that an extremist group is secretly cultivating Guhuo's accomplices to disrupt order. However, due to the treacherous behavior of the extremist group and the Guhuo's accomplices and their sophisticated methods, the shelter workers have not yet found their whereabouts.

Parents with children, please be sure to look after your children, ensure they stay in a safe area, do not leave them alone, and do not let them out of sight.

Hear the news report.

My mother put the bowl down with a worried look on her face.

"What? A ghostly creature has appeared in Jing Province? A Guhuo accomplice who steals and kidnaps infants and young children... How terrifying!"

Mom shuddered.

"Baby, we have to be more careful recently!"

Xu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately became alert.

Could it be that the first person I encountered was the resentful creature Guhuochang?
Most likely.

You must carefully understand its habits and methods!

[Currently, the internment officers know very little about Guhuo Chan, but additional practitioners have been deployed to various regions of Jing Province, and they will do their best to ensure the safety of the citizens.]

"So, the interns don't know about Guhuo's intel yet? Isn't that terrifying?"

"Baby, let's not go out to play for the next while, okay?"

Lin Qian shivered.

【Beep, beep, beep.】

The phone rang.

Hu Niu's mother was horrified: "Xiao Ran's mother, have you seen the news? That Guhuo's accomplice has been making a lot of noise lately..."

Lin Qian drank some water to calm herself down: "I just saw it, it's a bit scary!"

Hu Niu's mother said, "Yes, if someone deliberately releases or controls Guhuo Qiang, then the playground where children gather will be the most dangerous place."

Lin Qian: "Only after all the gang members behind Guhuo's death are apprehended, will I dare to take Xiao Ran out to play..."

Hu Niu's mother sighed, "Our two families should just visit each other. Zhuang Zhuang's mother and Tong Tong's mother live close together, so they visit each other. Our two families are next door, so we can visit each other."

Lin Qian was a little nervous: "Will it be unsafe to visit? Nowadays, many criminals use resentful creatures to cause trouble, and now there is also a ghost creature. Sigh..."

Hu Niu's mother: "There's nothing we can do. There are more and more people with bad character."

Xu Ran sat on the sofa, listening to the information with his ears perked up.

"I'm afraid the first kidnapping incident is related to Guhuo's accomplice. Never mind that. I will continue to exercise self-discipline. Only strength can break everything."

Think so.

Xu Ran threw the arrow.

One shot into the soul.

But no experience.

As [Xiao Xu Feidao] advanced, he found that no matter how he threw the pot, he would not gain experience.

"Maybe I have to play real darts to gain experience points. I have to ask my mom to buy a new toy."

Xu Ran walked towards his mother: "Mom~Mom~Fly~Fly~"

He was talking.

Pick up the arrow, throw it on the ground, stomp on it twice, then make a dart-throwing motion and pronounce a monophonic word.

Mom is confused.

Xu Ran carefully repeated the movements several times, trying his best to imitate them perfectly.

"You mean, you don't want to play pot-throwing anymore, and want to play darts?"

Xu Ran nodded repeatedly, and was about to move to his mother's mobile phone to select a wooden target and a real throwing knife.

"No problem, Mom will buy it for you online. It will arrive in two days."

then.

Next two days.

Mom stayed at home with Xu Ran, and occasionally visited Hu Niu's mom.

The news reported the latest intelligence on the Guhuo accomplice every day - the number of missing babies had skyrocketed from thirteen to fifty-seven.

The speed is increasing extremely fast.

The number of missing people in one day was more than twice that of the previous week!
This shows that the Guhuo Qians began to feel fearless and began to create more ghost creatures - Guhuo Qians.

however.

The interns still haven't found Guhuo's hiding place.

The citizens trembled in fear. "Will they spawn a band of Guhuo's minions and wreak havoc on the city?"

Xu Ran was a little worried.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, he was just a little guy who was only 500 days old.

……

Two days later.

That is 502 days after birth.

In the evening, the express text message arrived.

Mom held Xu Ran and went to the gate of the community to pick up the express delivery.

The dart toy was a bit heavy, so mom carried the target on her shoulder, while Xu Ran held the dart bag in one hand and held mom's hand with the other.

"Walk faster, baby, it's not safe outside recently."

My mother is still upset about the incident with Guhuo Chan.

But sometimes it's like this, the more you worry... the more bad things are likely to happen.

The sun had not yet set.

But under the shadow of the tall building, she suddenly felt extremely cold, as if someone had stuffed a piece of ice into her back. The extremely cold and chilly feeling made Lin Qian stagger and she almost fell. Fortunately, she took two steps forward and stood firm.

"Baby."

Lin Qian quickly turned around and held Xu Ran's little hand tightly.

Xu Ran: “…Hmm?”

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.

next second.

Suddenly, strange faces jumped out of the shadows and let out ghostly cries. Lin Qian was terrified. She instantly dropped the target on her shoulder, picked up Xu Ran and ran forward.

"Baby, close your eyes, let's run, run!"

Mom covered Xu Ran’s eyes.

Xu Ran: "...Hmm? Why does it always feel wrong? There is a slight fishy smell."

"Also, is Mom really that fast?"

wrong.

This is not the way to run home!
The person hugging him was not his mother!

Xu Ran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he calmed down quickly.

With a thought, a paper substitute appeared, and he quietly hid in the shadow of "Mom" with a stealthy step. He quickly used the wall-climbing skill of a gecko to climb up to the third floor. Like a cursed doll, he squatted on the wall and looked down at the running fake mom.

at the same time.

An assassin mantis swooped out from behind him and caught up with the fake mother at an extremely high speed.

The sharp blade, shining with blood, drew a bloody arc in the evening, cutting through Guhuo's body.

"Jie—"

A shrill sound spread, and the paper mantis frantically absorbed the energy released from the "corpse" of Guhuochan.

Soon.

The Guhuochang was eaten clean, and a green line appeared on the paper mantis's body, as if a detail was drawn on the sketch of the mantis.

This is paper-folding spiritual practice.

Weird ability.

It is just right to restrain the ghost-type Guhuo Chan. After killing the ghost creatures, it can also absorb the energy of their corpses. As long as the absorbed energy is enough, the paper mantis can turn into a lifelike mantis.

"Haha, is this Guhuo's accomplice? Apart from some weird illusions, his strength is a mess."

Xu Ran sneered, and a bat flew out behind him, hovering thirty meters in the air, monitoring the situation within a radius of five hundred meters.

As for his real body, it swam quickly on the wall and crawled towards home.

Located downstairs.

He saw his mother running away frantically with "Xu Ran" in her arms.

only.

My mother didn't realize that the child she was holding was actually a strange creature transformed from a demon...
