Chapter 153

*Squeak, squeak, squeak*—

The tattered bedroom door was pushed open, and the weak light was rudely turned off.

Immediately after: "Why are you sleeping with the light on? Waste of money, go to sleep for me right now!"

The little girl showed a small head and said weakly: "Mom, I'm scared."

The disheveled woman rushed in like a madwoman, but was dragged out by her hair by the man again.

Then the door was slammed shut.

"Study, study my ass; I've locked it for you, let's see how you study—give me the tuition money!"

The light disappeared, and outside the window, it was pitch black, without any color.

*Thump*—

Everyone felt a chill all over, as if they had fallen to the bottom of the abyss.

That sense of loneliness and fear made everyone panic and struggle.

It was as if their throats had been gripped, and no matter how they breathed, they couldn't taste the long-lost air.

Falling, constantly falling.

There was no light in the deep sea, only a faint singing sound coming through.

"The black sky hangs low, the bright stars follow—"

Immediately after.

The scene brightened; it was still the disheveled woman.

"Mom, I want a doll!"

"Okay, Mom will buy you a doll!"

Going out, coming home, holding a beautiful doll—Little Lili was very happy and very joyful.

She couldn't wait to open the packaging box.

As a result, a large hand took the first step, grabbing the doll's box and pulling it up violently.

"Damn it, I asked you for money, and you actually dared to lie to me saying you didn't have a cent; what is this? This doll isn't cheap, where did you get the money!"

"Put it down! This is for the child; it's a few dozen yuan. You don't work yourself, and the money at home has all been spent by you; are you trying to grab this few dozen yuan too!"

"Hehe, a few dozen yuan is enough for me to buy a pack of cigarettes; I'm going to return it!"

"Put it down!"

The little girl standing beside them looked at her arguing parents.

She wanted it very much, but still said: "Mom... I don't want it anymore."

*Bang*—

Beating, cursing, fear, confusion.

The TV was playing the sweet singing of Pleasant Goat, while in the living room, there were screams.

*Whoosh*—

The line of sight was pulled away, and the view became darker and darker.

"Little Lili, does it hurt? It's Mom's fault; the doll was snatched away."

"Mom, it doesn't hurt; does it hurt you?"

"It hurts! Seeing you like this, Mom hurts a lot; Mom will make you a doll—the most beautiful doll in the world."

She tore a piece of cloth off her own arm.

It was still stained with her own blood, and then she hummed a song, working together to sew the most beautiful doll in the world.

The doll was finished, and she went out to play with her beloved doll.

But other children were very disgusted.

"Is this a doll? It's so dirty, so disgusting."

"Exactly, we don't want to play with your doll at all."

"It stinks just like you; stay away from us."

She seemed to be standing on a stage play; there was no audience, and it was pitch black.

A beam of light suddenly enveloped the area one meter in front of her; the light didn't even shine on her.

Endless cursing, arguing, beating.

"Mom, does it hurt?"

"Mom... it doesn't hurt, but Mom wants to leave."

"Where to? Mom, don't leave me behind, I'm scared."

"Mom won't leave you behind; wait for Mom, wait for Mom and Dad to finish their business and come back to take you away together. Mom promises you, I will never, ever leave my baby behind, okay?"

"Okay, Mom, let's pinky swear."

"Pinky swear, it will never change."

The light went out, and it was quiet.

She sat at her small desk, drawing with a pencil. In the drawing, the little girl was holding a doll and holding Mom's hand.

A family portrait! A long time passed, Mom didn't come back, and she was hungry.

Little Lili jumped off the desk and came to the living room; Dad wasn't wearing a shirt, seeming a bit tired, and was lying on the sofa resting.

We're having chicken at home today; I saw a bloody kitchen knife! Yay, I haven't eaten meat for a long, long time; Mom must have gone to buy things.

A day passed, the night was quiet, Mom was gone, and Dad was gone too.

Only she was squatting here in the whole room; this is chicken blood; I like eating chicken blood and duck blood the most.

I remember a year ago, Mom took me to eat hot pot; blood is the most delicious, I really want to eat it.

But Mom said, this isn't hygienic! *Whoosh*—

The nightmare woke up, and time came to the present.

The Magic Bear seemed to understand this so-called Demon Envoy a little.

Her experience seemed similar to Xiao Wan's.

Looking back around, the barrier was still continuing, and the wax figures were frozen in place.

It's just that outside this circle, there were many onlookers, and everyone didn't know what had happened.

The police had already arrived.

The Magic Bear ignored him; the nightmare born from the upgraded Infernal Roar would only dominate evil people.

He wouldn't care.

"Big Sister, can you go home with me?" Little Lili stared at Lin Xiaowan with wide eyes, praying a little.

She held a round eyeball in her hand, but she wasn't afraid.

Xiao Wan jumped down; she was taller than this little girl and nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you; I'll accompany you to find your mom."

Holding the little girl's hand, she walked toward home step by step.

"Big Sister, where is your mom?"

"She's by my side, she's always been there; what Mom promises a child will never change, oh."

"Then where is my mom?"

"Your mom must be trapped somewhere; let's go find her; she must be worried sick if she can't find you."

Moonlight shrouded down.

H City had a spirit outbreak, but the city was still brightly lit, and passersby were endless.

"It's been checked clearly; it should be the Magic Bear's nightmare, but the situation this time is a bit special; it wasn't transmitted by eyeballs, but a certain range."

"Ordinary people who enter it will be affected, and Night Watchers with lower strength will also have problems."

Zhang Miao put the file on the table and then stood up and left.

Su Jinlong only let her be responsible for the investigation work; the rest had nothing to do with her.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go find Xu Jiajia; you understand what I mean."

"Understood."

The birth of a nightmare barrier was naturally paid attention to.

Dr. Xiao went there immediately, and online, rumors began to spread about ghosts reviving and the authorities taking action to suppress them; everything began to calm down from the outbreak.

The barrier began to disappear with the passage of time.

The barrier disappeared, but many people would never wake up.

"Big Sister, my mom makes chicken soup; look, the blood on this kitchen knife is chicken blood; it's very delicious."

The family was destitute.

Compared to her, Zhang Yi suddenly discovered that Lin Xiaowan also lived quite well; at least there were many people around her who loved her.

And this little girl only had her mom.

The blood on this kitchen knife was her mom's.

"Mom might not come back tonight; Big Sister, can you sleep with me?"

The two lay on the bed.

Singing songs, chatting, suddenly, a sound came from outside the door.

*Bang*—

"Dad... Dad is back; he seems to have been drinking."

The little girl's expression changed, and she got up to pull Lin Xiaowan.

They hurriedly got out of bed and hid under the bed, covering their mouths.

She covered the broken doll's mouth, while Lin Xiaowan held the Magic Bear with a smile.

Quietly.
