Chapter 1317: Encountering Something Unclean

After all, he was still just a child. Liu Ruxi's words made the little boy hesitate. He lowered his head, wavered for a long time, and then nodded, saying, "Alright then, I'll take you out, but you can't run."

"I promise I won't run. I still want to play ball with you. Let's go quickly," Liu Ruxi said with a smile.

The prettier a woman is, the better she is at lying; this saying is absolutely true. When a woman turns ruthless, she will even deceive a ghost.

Liu Ruxi felt the space before her darken, and she was back in that alleyway. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and then she gritted her teeth, looking for a chance to escape.

"Big sister, play with me, big sister," the little boy said, looking up and clutching the ball in his hands.

"Okay, I'll play with you," Liu Ruxi said, steadying herself. "How do we play?"

"We just play ball. You don't mean to tell me you don't even know how to play ball?" The little boy looked at Liu Ruxi, a strange, eerie smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"Big sister hasn't played before, I don't know if you have any rules," Liu Ruxi said with a smile. "How about this, can you teach me?"

"It's just like this." The little boy hesitated for a moment, then began to dribble the ball earnestly.

His dribbling movements were very agile. He had probably been trapped here for who knows how long, playing every day; he was even more professional than some professional basketball teams.

"Did you learn it?" The little boy looked up at Liu Ruxi, his face full of anticipation.

"I... I didn't see clearly. Can you demonstrate it again?" Liu Ruxi said, moving toward the alley entrance without changing her expression.

Her movements were very slight, for she was afraid of startling this little ghost.

In her heart, she was actually secretly anxious. It was already this late, why hadn't Chen Yu come over yet?

Just at this moment, the little boy finished another demonstration. He looked up at Liu Ruxi and said, "I just finished demonstrating, did you learn it?"

"Oh my, it's too dark, so I still didn't see clearly just now. Go over there under the streetlamp and demonstrate it one more time," Liu Ruxi said, stopping her steps with a smile.

"Why are you so stupid?" The little boy stood there blankly; he was already becoming displeased.

"I... I am a bit stupid. I've never played this before, so that's why you need to teach me. Won't you teach big sister?" Liu Ruxi revealed a hint of a smile.

"Alright then, I'll teach you one more time. Watch closely. This is the last time. If you still can't learn it, I'm going to get angry." The little boy gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Ruxi with a fierce expression.

"I know, the last time. Hurry up, I promise I'll see it clearly this time," Liu Ruxi nodded repeatedly.

"Then watch closely, big sister. If you still can't see clearly, I'm really going to get angry." As the little boy spoke, he picked up the basketball and began dribbling it on the ground with a *thump-thump* sound, performing flashy moves.

Liu Ruxi bit her lip and quickly crept toward the alley entrance. She knew this was her last chance; the little boy's temper was not as good as she had imagined, and if she made any more excuses, he would likely really get angry.

But she hadn't gone more than a few steps while hunched over when the little boy behind her spoke again: "Big sister, did you see it clearly?"

The voice was ethereal, as if it had come from the depths of his heart, and it carried a hint of chill that made one's hair stand on end.

Liu Ruxi's body stiffened, and her hair stood up in that instant. Listening to that voice, she felt that her whole being was not well.

Because that voice seemed to strike directly at the depths of her soul, making her feel as if she had fallen into Hell.

"I... I saw it a little better this time than before. Wow, you really play ball too well, and your speed is too fast," Liu Ruxi said, swallowing her saliva. "Big sister is quite stupid, I learn things too slowly."

"So..."

"So... you still didn't see it clearly this time, right?" The little boy's voice turned icy, and his face was also covered with a hint of chill.

"I... I didn't see it too clearly. Can you do it one more time? This time, please slow down your movements, I promise I will definitely see it clearly," Liu Ruxi steadied herself, trying hard to show a gentle smile.

"You are trembling. Why are you so far away from me?" The little boy stared at Liu Ruxi.

"I... I'm not." Liu Ruxi was a bit panicked.

"You want to leave me, you want to stay far away from me, right?" The little boy stared at her coldly, his gaze almost capable of killing.

"No, no, I didn't. I really didn't think that, I was just, just..." Liu Ruxi became nervous, and her speech became incoherent.

"You want to run?" The little boy let out a breath, and he suddenly laughed.

"I didn't want to run. I want to play with you, but I haven't learned it yet. Can you demonstrate it for me again?" Liu Ruxi said hurriedly.

"Mom left me here and said she would play with me after she came back, but she never came back." The little boy's gaze drooped slightly, and he shed tears blankly.

"She... she perhaps had something to attend to, she..." Liu Ruxi saw his appearance and became even more panicked.

"She just abandoned me because she wanted to go with another man, and taking me was a burden." The little boy's tears fell, and his tears instantly turned into blood.

"After I was run over by a large truck, I stayed here. I waited and waited... waited and waited, wanting to wait for her to come back, but she never came back. An old grandfather told me she left and would never come back."

The little boy suddenly lifted his head; his two eyes were replaced by two huge, empty holes. Within these holes, there was a ghastly chill.

His face became incomparably pale. Liu Ruxi was so terrified that her head felt hot, and she let out a scream. This guy in front of her was truly too terrifying.

When he was in human form just now, Liu Ruxi still felt he was quite cute. Although she knew he wasn't human, at least she wasn't afraid.

But now, this image made her almost scared out of her wits. She screamed and turned to run.

But just at this moment, her body stiffened, frozen on the spot, unable to move at all.

The little boy walked forward step by step. With every step he took, the space around him distorted slightly.

After a few steps, he was only half a meter away from Liu Ruxi.

Liu Ruxi's body was rigid; she wanted to run, but she couldn't move a muscle.

"Little ghost, have you played enough?" Just at this moment, a familiar voice came over. This voice was exactly Chen Yu's voice.

"Chen Yu?" Liu Ruxi was both shocked and delighted. Chen Yu appearing at this critical moment was simply something she hadn't imagined. In this instant, Chen Yu became her idol.

"Who are you?" The little boy turned around gloomily. His gaze was incomparably dark, giving people a ghastly chill.

"Chen Yu. Even if I told you, you wouldn't know me. I'm here to take her away," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"You can't take her away. She has to stay here and play games with me," the little boy said gloomily.

"How long do you want to play?" Chen Yu asked.
