Chapter 72 Missing

After eating and drinking enough, I was just about to go to bed when the servant suddenly asked: "Little Taoist Master..."

I looked back at her: "What's wrong?"

She hesitated for a while and whispered: "You... have to be careful."

I was a little confused and just about to ask her what she meant, she had already turned away.

I was a little bit embarrassed in my heart, why are the people in this family so mysterious and mysterious, and never finish what they say.

But I didn't take it to heart. I washed up and went back to bed. I took out the secret book I brought with me from my schoolbag and started reading it.

The servant just sent me, in addition to food, some clean clothes and a new bag. I just tried it and it was pretty good.

But I didn’t dare to ask the price, for fear that Li Shun would ask me to pay back the money later.

I was sleeping in a daze at night, and suddenly I heard sounds coming from outside the window, including the laughter of children and the sound of people running around barefoot.

I was immediately frightened and woke up.

I quietly got up, walked to the window, opened it slightly, and looked outside quietly.

There is nothing in the corridor.

I was a little confused and already picked up the talisman in my hand.

Suddenly, a pair of red bloodshot eyes appeared at the crack of the window and looked at me at close range.

I was so frightened that I almost screamed.

I fell back and sat on the ground, quickly turned around and picked up the schoolbag on the bed, fumbled for a while, and found a luminous pearl inside.

I have been exploring how to use this thing on the way here, but I still haven't found a way to use it. I can only use it as a lighting tool.

Hold it and wave it around the crack in the window.

Nothing at all.

Strange laughter came from outside the door again.

A child's laughter is crisp and innocent.

Sounds like it's right on my doorstep.

I immediately and deftly put the talisman paper on the four corners of the room, and then closed the window.

The laughter outside disappeared, but the footsteps continued.

I touched the vajra in my hand.

It's looking for me, and maybe it's already focused on me because of the stare we made just now.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside. It sounded very soft and gentle: "Baby, don't go there, let's go back, baby..."

The footsteps stopped for a while, and then gradually moved away.

I breathed a sigh of relief, waited for a while, and after making sure there was no sound at all outside, I quietly opened the door.

Looking out from the crack of the door, I found that the door of a room not far away was also open.

That's Li Shun's room.

Nothing will happen to him, right?

I was shocked, and I hurriedly went out and walked to his room. When I reached the door, a hand suddenly stretched out and pulled me in.

I was startled, but I heard Li Shun suddenly say next to me: "Shh, keep your voice down, you don't want to die, now run out."

Only then did I see clearly with the faint light of the night pearl, Li Shun was also hiding at the door.

"What's going on?" I asked quietly.

He shook his head: "I don't know, but it seems that the Gumantong you are talking about is starting to make some moves."

I thought of the child's laughter I heard before, and felt a chill in my back: "If Gumantong entered this house, then its controller must be there too. Did you hear the voice of the woman just now?"

Li Shun nodded slightly: "I heard it, yes, it was that woman's voice!"

As I said that, I suddenly felt a chill behind my back. I turned around to look, but there was nothing there.

I felt something bad in my heart: "Come in quickly, it's not safe now."

As I said that, I was about to close the door.

Suddenly, a child's laughter came to my ears.

A child's face appeared before my eyes, which was originally empty, almost touching my face.

It had some strange totems on its face, a toothless mouth that stretched to the base of its ears, and its eyelids were still translucent, and you could see the eyes inside, staring straight at me.

There was a pain in my chest.

Suddenly, I felt like there was some strange light coming from the top of my head, and the kid let out a scream, and then disappeared.

It escaped.

I quickly closed the door, then took out a few talismans from my bag and gave them to Li Shun: "Put these in the room..."

Before I could finish speaking, my vision went dark and I fainted.

When I woke up again, I was lying on the bed in my original guest room.

It looks like it's just dawn outside.

The experience last night felt like a dream when I think about it now, but when I opened my eyes and saw the blood on my chest, I felt that it was not a dream.

The servant who delivered the meal yesterday was standing beside my bed. When he saw me waking up, he quickly shouted to the door: "The Taoist priest is awake."

Li Xiong immediately walked in from the door with Taoist Master Qiu and Brother Dao.

Li Xiong's face was full of apology: "Little Taoist Priest, are you okay?"

I nodded: "It's nothing, just a little skin injury, and it's healed now."

Taoist priest Qiu looked incredulous after hearing this: "What? When you were found before, there was a hole in your chest, and you're actually fine?"

I rolled my eyes, could this guy want something to happen to me?

I lifted up my clothes and checked them over, but there was no scar at all, let alone a hole.

Li Xiong was stunned for a moment: "This... little Taoist Priest, you really have great magical powers. Li has seen it today."

I just nodded slightly.

In fact, I know clearly that it is not me who has great powers at all.

After I fainted, I could feel a slight chill coming from the top of my head and gathering in my chest. This feeling was exactly the same as when I drew the talisman on my head with the little paper.

Thanks to the life-saving charm she drew for me before leaving, otherwise I would have left it here yesterday.

"By the way, how is Li Shun doing now?"

The gadget had discovered him yesterday, so it would be normal for it to keep an eye on him.

"By the way, I haven't told him about you waking up yet. He thinks he has killed you, so he is locking himself in the room right now."

It seems that this guy has some conscience after all and is worthy of close friendship.

I waved my hand: "Go tell him now, I'm fine."

Li Xiong nodded.

A few of us walked to the door of Li Shun's room and knocked on the door.

"Xiao Shun, the little Taoist master is fine. Stop blaming yourself and come out quickly."

No one answered.

Li Xiong knocked on the door again: "Xiao Shun? Xiao Shun!"

Still no one answered.

Li Xiong frowned, realizing that something was not quite right.

Finally, he took out the key and opened the door directly.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a smell of blood.

I quickly turned on the light.

On the floor, apart from the blood stains from where I fell after being attacked last night, there were also some footprints.

With my blood stained on her, she walked in a small line of steps to the middle of the room, and then disappeared.

I had a bad feeling in my heart, so I quickly took the talisman in my hand and said to the people behind me: "Let's go out. There is something in the room!"
