Zhang Zheng stared at it suspiciously, "You don't know how to get out?"
The ghost doll rolled his eyes, "Why should I know?"
Zhang Zheng: "..."
Okay, now the clues are gone again, I really don’t know what to do.
Zhang Zheng sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed, looking sideways at the baby who was too white on the bed. The ghost doll also looked back with a pair of big copper bell eyes open in vain, and the two of them were speechless.
The cool moonlight pours in from the window, and the shadows of the trees are reflected on the ground, like algae swaying in the water.
There was silence, and inexplicable emotions quietly grew in the darkness.
"What do you look like?"
An awkward voice suddenly sounded in my mind, breaking the silence.
Zhang Zheng came back to her senses and knew that it could not be asking what "Zhang Zheng" looked like.
Taking off the straw hat on his head, his face obscured by shadows was clearly revealed, and the dim candlelight added some warmth to his pale skin.
The appearance of this body is undoubtedly beautiful. There is a black mole at the end of the eye. Although it is not as transparent as the spiritual body of a cultivator, she can be regarded as a pretty beauty in the world.
The ghost doll stared at it blankly for a long time, and then said nonchalantly: "I look nothing like you."
Its appearance is more like a deformed child, its eyes are extremely large, taking up almost one-third of the entire face, its pupils are much smaller than those of ordinary people, and its face is as pale as the snow on the top of the mountain, without any trace of human blood.
There was a loneliness in its voice that could not be ignored. Zhang Zheng was not good at comforting others, so she quietly curled her lips, softened her eyes, and tried her best to imitate the gentle and affectionate way she knew a mother would look at her child.
The ghost doll looked away, "So ugly."
Treating good intentions as a donkey's heart and lungs, Zhang Zheng complained secretly, but still maintained a gentle expression on his face. He raised his hand, gave it a blow with his fingers, and said with a smile: "He has no conscience."
The moment the index finger made contact with the skin of the baby's forehead, ripples suddenly spread out from the point of contact, and a black shadow emerged from the baby's body and penetrated into Zhang Zheng's body along the fingertips.
Zhang Zheng twitched her hand, but it didn't move. Her fingers seemed to be stuck to the baby's forehead. She said in surprise, "Are you back?"
The ghost doll muttered: "I'm back, but I can't get out."
"If you can't come out normally, my spiritual power and consciousness can't be used either."
Now that the ghost doll has come out, what happened to the baby on the bed?
Zhang Zheng looked at the baby on the bed. The baby was staring at her with open eyes. His eyes were empty and lifeless. Everything in the world seemed to be nothing in these eyes. It was colder and more terrifying than when the ghost doll was there. It was very disturbing.
be terrified.
"It's more of a ghost than you are."
At least the ghost doll can still look a bit human when it's not turning into an evil spirit, and this baby is even more frightening and looks more like a pure ghost.
The ghost doll and the baby looked directly at each other with empty eyes. When Zhang Zheng heard Zhang Zheng's words, which could not be regarded as praise or disgust, they only hummed perfunctorily.
The ripples stopped and two lines of small characters appeared in the air.
"Taiping Town Assessment Task—Kill the Evil Ghost."
The small characters only appeared for two breaths, and then dispersed and disappeared into the darkness. As the small characters disappeared, the stickiness suddenly disappeared. Zhang Zheng quickly retracted his hand, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.
A dead atmosphere spreads in the closed space.
The ghost doll suddenly spoke, and his voice could not distinguish any emotion, anger or fear. It was very calm, as if stating the facts, "The mission requires you to kill me."
Zhang Zheng pursed her lips and did not answer directly, "I can't move my hands now, can I? Let's wait and see, and we'll talk about it later."
The ghost doll is currently hiding in this body, and it cannot get out. The bones are in "Zhang Zheng's" body, and she cannot harm it.
The atmosphere was stagnant again.
The baby slowly closed his eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.
Zhang Zheng picked up the straw hat and put it on his head, sat on the big box for a while, tilted his head and glanced at the motionless baby on the bed, and asked curiously: "Does he need milk?"
The ghost doll scratched his head and said impatiently, "You are his mother, go and feed him."
Zhang Zheng was stunned. Although her body had just given birth, it was already dead and stiff. Where could the milk come from?
There was no place to find food for the baby late at night, so Zhang Zheng calmed down and thought that the wet nurse would be here tomorrow. The baby would have to be lucky, as he would probably never die of hunger.
The next morning, Zhang Zheng had just walked around the yard twice when the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer came from outside.
The sound of footsteps stopped outside the courtyard gate. Zhang Zheng hid behind a tree and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
The man's voice was somewhat familiar. He was one of the servants from last night. "This is where you will serve from now on. My aunt in the courtyard has a difficult childbirth. I am here to take care of the child my aunt left behind."
No one responded. The servant paused for a moment and then continued to instruct: "Keep your duty, don't think nonsense, and don't leave the yard and wander around at will. If you collide with any master, be careful and the master will skin you."
The sound of footsteps walked away, the courtyard door opened from the outside, and a middle-aged woman came in. She had fat breasts and trembled when she walked. She must be the wet nurse she had found.
The nanny looked around the yard, opened the door and entered the inner room.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden clang of tables and chairs falling to the ground in the house. It was noisy and harsh, and the door was suddenly pushed open. The nanny bumped and rolled all the way, and finally sat down in the middle of the yard with weak legs.
Zhang Zheng saw the wet nurse's eyes widening in fear, her whole body trembling, her mouth wide open, but she couldn't make a sound.
It turned out that the wet nurse she found was mute. No wonder I could only hear the boy talking and not the wet nurse's voice.
Zhang Zheng thought she would be so frightened that she turned around and ran away, but he didn't expect that she sat slumped on the ground for about an hour, then got up again and entered the house with trembling legs.
Seeing this, Zhang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, at least the baby's life was temporarily saved.
The ghost doll suddenly said: "Are we just going to stay by his side?"
Zhang Zheng nodded, "In my current state, I have nowhere to go, so it's good to just stay here. After all, the protagonist of the illusion is the baby. Maybe we can find some clues by staying by his side."
…
The first snow of winter fell in full splendor, dotted with silvery flowers on the trees, and stayed there for more than a year.
Zhang Zheng leaned against a big tree, listening to the rustle of children rubbing snow behind the tree, and bickering with ghost dolls every day.
When he first arrived in this fantasy world, the ghost doll's mood was unusually dull and depressed. Over a year later, it had completely returned to its previous normal state, irritable and irritable, as if it was about to burst into flames.
For example, now, Zhang Zheng just sighed, "Is there something wrong with Guizi's brain development? Why is it that he is almost two years old and can neither speak nor walk?"
The baby was born without his mother, and his father who was still alive disliked him. He only looked at him once, only briefly, and he was so disgusted that he naturally would not give him a name.
Guizi was called Guizi casually by Zhang Zheng. Originally, he subconsciously wanted to call him "Gui Boy", but the connotation was not very good, so he finally changed it to "Gui".
Somehow these words offended Guiwa, the fire line was ignited, and the firecracker exploded unexpectedly, leaving Zhang Zheng confused.
"You are the only one with a brain problem! Your whole family has a brain problem!"
Zhang Zheng was stunned for a moment. After turning his mind, he suddenly realized that the cat thought he was scolding it. He explained helplessly: "I didn't mean to scold you or him. I was just telling the truth. Is it because the nutrition didn't keep up with the scolding?"
His brain development is a little slower."
