Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

He looked to be only eight or nine years old, very thin, and was about to leave after speaking.

Huo Ling grabbed his shoulder. "Wait, explain yourself!"

The child was a little anxious, but still quickly said, "It means exactly what it says. Some people have the ability to transfer or exchange items. Recently, these people have been staking out the area near the exchange center."

However, there is a way to interrupt this, which is to cover your belongings in advance. This will break the other party's lock. Locals know this, so they will cover their pockets when passing by. Only outsiders do not know this.

The child said he meant well.

Lin Shuangshuang, however, noticed the key point: "Then how did you know they were stealing?"

The child stammered, "I know, but I can't tell you. Okay, let me go, I want to go home now."

His body trembled slightly.

Huo Ling asked him, "Are you cold?"

When Lorna saw his ill-fitting factory uniform, she exclaimed in shock, "Are you working now? Why are you wearing factory clothes?"

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe only noticed it then.

The child said, "That's normal, what's the big deal?"

His face turned pale.

Suddenly it lurched forward.

Huo Ling grabbed him, but the little boy slumped down limply.

Lin Shuangshuang happened to come over to help him, so she had to squat down.

Lorna was startled. "My God, what's wrong with him? This child is behaving strangely!"

Wu Zhe, with an even wilder imagination, exclaimed dramatically, "Could it be that his superpower backfired while he was trying to help us?!"

Gao Lei said, "It's just low blood sugar."

Huo Ling helped the child up, and Lin Shuangshuang stuffed a chocolate into the child's mouth. The child looked so hungry that he was seeing stars and was about to faint.

One minute.

The child slowed down a bit, then frantically chewed the chocolate and swallowed it.

Lin Shuangshuang opened another carton of milk, stuffed it into his mouth, and then unwrapped a piece of bread for him.

The other party wolfed down their food.

The three of them, including Lorna, looked at each other in bewilderment; this was the first time they had ever encountered such a situation.

"Haven't you eaten? How come you're so hungry? That shouldn't be the case. The dungeon infrastructure is almost finished, isn't it? You've already been working, aren't you earning points? How come you're still starving?"

The child, with bread stuffed in his mouth, shook his head, "These points aren't enough."

He is still very weak.

The next second, he widened his eyes and suddenly pushed Lin Shuangshuang away. Caught off guard, Lin Shuangshuang was pushed and fell to the ground with a thud.

The little monster looked completely dazed.

shocked.

Huo Linggang frowned, sensing something. Indeed, a very hidden connection was approaching them. "Here it comes again. Everyone, keep your pockets safe."

He gave the order.

The three of them, including Lorna, immediately did as instructed and instantly became tense. However, they still didn't sense anything trying to steal from them, which made them even more frightened.

"Are you still there?!"

"What kind of evil magic is this?!"

"horrible."

While helping Lin Shuangshuang up, Huo Ling used his mental abilities to shield his teammates, attempting to block these inexplicable power connections.

The child went from shock to understanding, "Brother, are you also a psychic? You must be very strong to be able to sense it, that's amazing."

Huo Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Also?"

The child wobbled to his feet and said, "I'm really bad at this. My psychic ability is only one-dimensional perception. I can predict some minor dangers, but that's all. I can't do anything else. You have to keep this a secret."

His condition is still very poor.

Lin Shuangshuang grabbed his shoulder and said, "Where do you live? We'll take you home."

Otherwise it would be too dangerous.

His face was frighteningly pale.

The child shook his head and said no, "I can go back by myself. I'm sorry, sister, I pushed you because those people wanted to steal your things. You must have a lot of supplies, otherwise they would rarely launch several attacks in a row."

Lin Shuangshuang said, "It's okay."

She should thank him.

Lorna asked him, "Since you helped us, aren't you afraid of their retaliation?"

The child laughed, "They don't have the guts, a bunch of stinky rats."

It dares not be exposed to the light.

He said they were all hiding far away and wouldn't know what was happening here.

But they are also very capable; they can tell who has the most supplies without even being there.

The child spoke with a hint of envy, "There are all sorts of strange and wonderful superpowers now, but unfortunately my superpower is too useless. It can't help my family much. Ah, I don't mean stealing things, I mean there are other, better superpowers."

He explained hastily.

The three of them, including Lorna, laughed and said, "We understand, we understand." "Mhm." "You're a good kid."

Huo Ling suddenly caught sight of several concealed figures over there. Were they the thieves? After confirming that they were the ones who had just connected with their team's mental energy, he stepped aside to block the child and made a decisive statement, "It's not safe here. We'll take you home."

He said he would leave after delivering the goods.

I won't stay long.

The child's condition is probably not just due to low blood sugar. It's indeed unsafe for him to go back alone. Besides, they really owe him a favor, and if they don't repay it, they'll always have something on their minds.

I feel uncomfortable.

After Huo Ling insisted repeatedly, the child finally agreed to let them take him home.

When there are fewer people.

They followed the children back onto the subway, and after five or six stops, they arrived at a plaza that was not yet built. The area was very rough, and it was practically a construction site with workers everywhere.

The machines clanged and jingled.

The superhumans are also working hard to expand this new home.

The child told them that his name was Xiangyang, he had a younger sister named Xiangkui, and that his grandparents were sick and that his home was very small and cramped.

I hope they don't mind.

"This is the first time our family has had guests. Grandpa and Grandma will be very happy."

Although they had said they didn't need to be sent back, the child was still very happy to be sent back and chatted with them the whole time.

Lorna teased him, asking, "Aren't you afraid we're bad guys?"

Xiang Yang shook her head. "You're not, sister, have you forgotten? My ability allows me to foresee danger. I didn't sense any malice from you, and I even helped you first. How could you possibly be bad people?"

Lorna said, "What if we were taking advantage of your kindness, pretending to be a victim to lure you in? Wouldn't your superpowers be discovered?"

Xiang Yang was shocked.

He was genuinely a little scared, and stammered, "You guys can't be... right?"

Gao Lei sighed and told Luo Na to stop scaring the child, "But it's definitely a possibility. You should be more careful in the future. The most dangerous thing in the apocalypse is your kindness, understand?"

Wu Zhe also gave Xiang Yang a few examples, saying that the child was vigilant, but not very so.

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang had never met a child like this before, but once they met his family, they understood why he was so innocent.

It turns out he was the most "vigilant" one in the family. As soon as his grandparents saw their grandson leading the five of them to their door, they immediately opened the door and let them in. When they heard that they were feeding their grandson who had low blood sugar, they rummaged through drawers and cupboards to get some food for them too. They were very polite, but unfortunately, the family was penniless and had nothing.
