Chapter 1316: This is an Amulet
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Xiaoying took the Amulet and said with some delight.
Chen Yu and Liu Ruxi being so good to her made her very touched.
Moreover, she had always believed in these things, and now with the Amulet in hand, she felt much more at ease in her heart.
"Alright, Chen Yu and I will head off first; if you need anything, contact me directly," Liu Ruxi said, then she thought for a moment and added, "How about I let Chen Yu stay behind to see if there's anything he can help you with?"
"What do you take me for?" Chen Yu said, caught between laughter and tears. "The matter is resolved, it's fine, really."
"You are my bodyguard, and everyone's bodyguard," Liu Ruxi giggled. "Is it really fine?"
"It's really fine," Chen Yu said earnestly.
"President Liu, I feel much better now, I'm really fine. You should let Brother Chen go back with you. Thank you, I've caused you so much trouble," Xiaoying said.
"Alright then," Liu Ruxi nodded slightly and said, "We're heading back to the company first; if you need anything, just say so."
"Thank you, President Liu," Xiaoying thanked her again.
Chen Yu drove the car, taking Liu Ruxi back.
"Sigh, the meeting today won't be able to happen," Liu Ruxi looked at the time and said helplessly. "The plan can only be pushed back; there's no other way."
"You're quite kind-hearted; if it were any other boss, they wouldn't pay any attention to a minor employee at all," Chen Yu said.
"What's the big deal about that? If you aren't good to your own employees, how could they possibly work for you with peace of mind?" Liu Ruxi rolled her eyes at Chen Yu and said, "Alright, hurry back."
"Fine, sit tight," Chen Yu laughed. "But for the next few days, you'll need to prepare yourself mentally."
"Prepare myself for what?" Liu Ruxi was slightly stunned.
"The matter of opening your Heavenly Eye—did you really think I was just saying it casually?" Chen Yu smiled and said, "You possess the ability for this yourself; it was just suppressed a long time ago."
"So now that you've opened your Heavenly Eye, I have no way to help you close it," Chen Yu said helplessly. "For the next three days, you will see those things that do not belong to this world."
"Ah, ah, ah, what do I do? I'm timid, I've been afraid of these things since I was a child," Liu Ruxi was truly on the verge of a breakdown.
She really regretted why she had done so much now. How good it would have been if she had just walked out with Xiaoying.
"Take a few days off. Leave the company matters to you; I will set up some formations around the villa so those things won't dare to come in," Chen Yu said helplessly. "As things stand, this is the only way."
"Will that work?" Liu Ruxi was slightly stunned, not quite believing it.
"It will work, you can rest assured a hundred percent," Chen Yu laughed. "If you really don't want to stay at home, that's fine too. Anyway, these things look scary to you, but in fact, they don't hurt people."
"That won't do, this thing is too terrifying," Liu Ruxi shook her head. "But if you make me stay at home for three days, I can't stay."
"Then there's no way, choose one of two," Chen Yu said, shaking his head.
"Chen Yu, I know you're quite capable. Can you help me think of a way? I'm terrified at the thought of not going out all day long," Liu Ruxi shook Chen Yu's arm.
"Don't shake me, I'm driving right now," Chen Yu said, caught between laughter and tears. "There's really no way, you must choose one of two."
"Actually, you should also be clear that life is a multiple-choice question. Sometimes you must make sacrifices; if you can't let go of these things, it won't work."
"Stop the car," Liu Ruxi suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yu stepped on the brake with one foot, and the car stopped steadily to the side.
"I just saw a little boy; he seemed to be injured," Liu Ruxi hurriedly got out of the car and looked around.
There wasn't much traffic in this area, but she had just seen a little boy with blood flowing down his head, and he seemed to have ducked into the alley ahead.
She didn't see anyone, so she hurriedly rushed toward the alley ahead.
"Hey, don't go over there," Chen Yu, having parked the car, hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Liu Ruxi rushed into the alley, only to see that this place was extremely dim, and the streetlights above were broken, flickering and making one's eyes dizzy.
Liu Ruxi was a bit suspicious; she walked forward slowly while paying attention to the surrounding environment.
But strangely, there wasn't a single person in sight.
"Little friend? Are you here, little friend?" Liu Ruxi called out softly.
There was no response from inside, and just at this moment, a sound of *thump, thump*—the sound of a basketball bouncing—came from behind her.
She turned her head abruptly and saw that the little boy from before was holding a basketball in his hands, dribbling it.
He stared straight at Liu Ruxi, with not a trace of expression on his face.
"Little friend, why are you here? You gave me a fright," Liu Ruxi was truly frightened, and she hurriedly said, "I just saw you were injured, are you alright?"
The little boy still did not answer; he continued to look at Liu Ruxi with a blank stare. His expression was indifferent and heartless, and his eyes were dull and hollow, as if the Liu Ruxi in front of him did not exist.
Seeing his appearance, Liu Ruxi suddenly became a little afraid.
She was a kind-hearted person by nature, and she had chased after him just now because she saw the injured little boy, but the little boy in front of her seemed somewhat strange.
She took a few steps back, intending to leave this place, when she suddenly discovered that the road behind her was no longer the road she had just walked over.
The place she was currently in was in front of a huge abandoned warehouse, and the warehouse was piled full of messy things.
Moreover, there were some discarded dolls thrown to the side, and among them, a big-headed doll over a meter tall looked extremely ghastly.
The eyes of this doll were flickering under the illumination of the light, as if they were blinking.
Liu Ruxi was startled; she suddenly realized that she might have seen something unclean.
She had heard old people say before that if you are targeted by something unclean, you might become confused and end up in a strange place.
And the things she was experiencing before her eyes now were almost exactly the same as the Ghost Wall the old people had spoken of.
"Big sister, come and play with me for a while," the little boy raised his head, his indifferent expression carrying a hint of anticipation.
"If you lead big sister out, big sister will play with you," Liu Ruxi gritted her teeth and said, trying to bolster her courage.
Although she was afraid of these things, she was not the kind of girl who would cry when encountering trouble.
Since the matter had already happened, she would find a way to solve it; she knew that she had encountered a Ghost Wall.
"That won't work, Grandpa said this place can only be entered, not exited," the little boy shook his head.
"But this place is too small, how can big sister play with you?" Liu Ruxi blinked her eyes and said, "Listening to Grandpa is correct, but you also have to look at the actual situation."
