"Children are most likely to be frightened. Come on, let me take a look." Bao Datong grabbed the step and picked up the little boy, letting his little boy's body completely rest on his shoulders. He gently patted the little boy's whole body with one hand, muttering something.

"Is it okay?" Lu Yan asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I didn't scare him." Bao Datong put the little boy back in Lu Yan's arms and narrowed his eyes.

There is no abnormality. There is no abnormality at all. It is exactly the aura that a child should have. Even if he secretly detects the child's body with the Taoist method, there is no reaction. But why, he just thinks this little thing is strange?

"Oh, Xiaoxia, your hand is bleeding." Lu Yan exclaimed, quickly put the little boy on the bed, pulled Xiaoxia's left hand up, and saw a very deep scratch on her ring finger, and there was still some rust on the edge of the wound, "I'll help you with it."

"It's better to go to the hospital." Bao Datong stopped Lu Yan, "If there is rust, it's better to disinfect it. It's better to get a vaccination, otherwise people will die if they get tetanus. In this way, we'll leave first, and I'll help tomorrow." Bao Datong said and looked at Xiaotong again. Seeing that Xiaotong was still sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes, fragile and harmless, she thought to herself, was it because she was nervous?

"Okay." Lu Yan said embarrassedly, "You guys helped me so much, Xiao Xia was injured. I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault, it's your fault." Xiao Xia quickly comforted Lu Yan, and then faced Xiao Tong, "Little Tong, Auntie is gone, I will come to see you in the future."

The little boy nodded, his eyes full of reluctance, but he still said goodbye obediently and watched the three adults walk out of the room.

The footsteps were far away, and only the sound of traffic outside the window was vaguely heard. The room was strangely silent, without even breathing, as if it was blocking another world outside the world.

The little boy, this five-year-old disabled child, jumped out of the bed, as clever as a monkey, and as silent as fallen leaves.

He slowly walked to the closet and looked at himself in the mirror. His expression changed. As the corners of his mouth rose and his eyes changed, innocence was slowly replaced by pride.

He grinned and laughed silently for a while, then looked down at the small fist he had been shaking - there was a bloody rust nail in the spread palm. He picked up the nail and quickly drew a spell on the mirror.

The iron nails cut across the mirror and made a harsh "crying" sound. As the talisman was drawn, the "little boy" gently pressed it, and the iron nails penetrated into the mirror and made a "whip" sound, as if crying.

"You said you're playing with me, aunt." The little boy sighed softly, his face turned stern again, his eyes staring creepy, and he didn't move.

Da-da-da-da-da-

The sound of footsteps came, and the little boy knew it was Lu Yan, so he jumped and returned to the bed to sit. The mirror was darkened because of his departure, and it was a small human figure, as if his shadow was left in the mirror.

He waved his hand and the mirror returned to his usual appearance, and Lu Yan happened to step into the door.

"Little boy, what did you do?" Lu Yan asked with a straight face.

Just when Xiao Tong was changing these changes, Xiao Xia and Bao Datong had already arrived on the street. What happened just now made Xiao Xia a little dizzy, and the sunlight in the sky was quite vicious, so Bao Datong ran to the roadside stall to buy ice cream, and Xiao Xia stood under the shade of the tree waiting.

Although the changes in the little boy just now were not as obvious as that day, even though she was idiotic and dull, she felt the difference deeply. What she didn't understand was why a cute child would make people feel cold all over?! She knew that Bao Datong had already tried it while holding the little boy and patting him, but since he didn't say anything, it proved that he didn't find it. But why did the little boy suddenly become unfamiliar with such a lovely situation? Is it a psychological disease or some change?

She couldn't figure it out and looked aimlessly at the pedestrians on the street.

Play with me!

Suddenly, a voice sounded in her heart. At the same time, she suddenly discovered that there was a street scene that was very familiar to her, which made her look at that place again!

A little girl stood on the corner of the street opposite, about five years old, with a floral dress, long hair, melon-shaped face, and big eyes. Who is not the missing Zhang Jialin?

Xiao Xia stood up quickly, "Zhang Jialin!" She screamed and wanted to run across the street, but as soon as she walked to the street, an arm stretched out from the thorn and dragged her back directly.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp "bang" sounded, and the sign of the decorative shop fell down and smashed hard to the place where Xiao Xia was about to run over.

Everyone was shocked, including the renovation workers.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry - I don't know what's going on." He explained desperately, "I've obviously installed it and haven't loosened it. I don't know - me -"

"Okay, okay, just don't hurt anyone." Bao Datong supported Xiao Xia, who was frightened, "Cleaning up quickly, it's not good if you hurt others."

Seeing that the victim had no intention of prosecution, the worker left with great gratitude.

Xiao Xia looked up at the corner of the street in a daze. However, the little girl was gone! The crowd was still bustling, but the girl disappeared like air, as if she had never appeared.

"I-I may have hallucinations." Xiao Xia faced Bao Datong's gaze uneasy, "I'm really lucky, otherwise I will definitely die this time."

"It's not an illusion." Bao Datong helped Xiaoxia sit under the pergola, licked and threw away the ice cream, but still had some melted oil on his hands, "I saw it too. Zhang Jialin, didn't he?"

"You saw it too?"

"That's right." Bao Datong turned his head and smiled rascally, not like he had just been shocked. "Do you think this sign fell down for no reason? Do you think it's your fate? The former is because of evil things, and the latter is because of me! Little idiot!"

Ruan Zhan also met the little boy, but like him, he did not notice any abnormality. At first they thought it was the house that was not good, but since strange things came with the mother and son, it goes without saying where the root of the problem lies.

……………………

"Exchange information!" Bao Datong said while sitting at the bar.

Today is the weekend, but the bar is not open yet, only the shop owner and the psychologist are there.

"Let me tell you what happened to Xiao Xia's hand?" Ruan Zhan frowned.

As soon as Xiaoxia entered the door, he noticed the injury on her hand. Although she kept leaning against her body, trying not to see it. But even though his eyes were not looking at her, a heart was circling around her. Her every move, including a slight frown, could not escape his sight.

"This is also considered as an information exchange."

"Tsk, won't I ask myself?" Wanli rebuked.

"What the hell is going on? Otherwise, you'll just get out of bed." Ruan Zhan said with a cold face, "I promised your father to help you, but I didn't say that you would eat and live for free!"

"Okay OK, okay, I'll say." Bao Datong raised his hand to surrender and told the scene that happened at Lu Yan's house at noon.

Wanli was very surprised and looked at Ruan Zhan with a serious expression and said, "What do you think? Do you have any problems with the mother and son?"

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything and frowned.

"Sometimes the most unlikely is the most likely." Bao Datong said, "But what I don't understand is why we can't feel the evil aura?"

"There is a possibility." Ruan Zhan also sat down, "that is, his Taoism is far higher than us, so he can restrain the evil spirit or demon energy, so that we can't even notice it."

"It's a big guy again, our lives are really hard." Wan Li sighed.

This time, Bao Datong did not speak back.

He had thought about what Ruan Zhan said, but he had never been willing to face up to this problem. It was not that he was afraid, but that he could not imagine it. He practiced Taoism with his father since he was a child, and Ruan Zhan was even more gifted with supernatural powers. If they could not see it, then the opponent would most likely have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. But how could this make him believe that a delicate ** and an innocent child are the culprit of everything! But why is this for?

"It may also be other reasons that we don't know." Ruan Zhan seemed to know the contradiction in Bao Datong's heart, or he also had such complex moods. "The world hides too many things that we cannot know. Everything will not be revealed until the end, and there will be any possibility."

Bao Datong shrugged, "You're right, let's fight and see. Anyway, everything will come to an end. This is what they came to the door, it's not me who caused trouble!"

"So - this is your intelligence?" Wanli asked, "You have been busy with intelligence for more than a week?"

"Hey, I have been helping Xiaoxia do good deeds this week, and I almost broke my legs. You can try opening a store in such a short time?" Bao Datong complained, "In this way, I took the time to investigate Zhang Zixin's affairs, and also touched the bottom of Lu Yan and his son in reality."

"Let me tell me." Ruan Zhan said.

"Zhang Zixin is a reporter of the city's Morning Post, you know that," Bao Datong said, "But you may not have noticed that he is a reporter in the social news version, and an amateur writer, and is particularly keen on reportage. Five years ago, on the eve of his marriage, he originally decided to concentrate the legal marriage leave and the rest he had accumulated in his usual time to go to Hainan for a honeymoon with Lu Yan. However, for some reason, he suddenly terminated the plan and applied for a rest in advance. According to Lu Yan, he had an emergency interview task, but according to my investigation, he heard of a supernatural incident, so he decided to go for an interview and write it into reportage. Because he did not believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this world, he wanted to solve this puzzle!"

"You investigated?" Ruan Zhan listened very seriously.

"Yes." Bao Datong was a little proud, "The police had thoroughly investigated his disappearance back then, but there was no conclusion yet. But when I went to investigate, I noticed his best friend Wang Yong, who was an absolute idealist. You know, we are the best at observing words and expressions, so he didn't reveal anything to the police, but told me."

"Didn't you use some illusion again?" Wan Li asked.

Bao Datong laughed twice, "That's not, I just made him dream of his friend who disappeared five years ago, and then explained his dream."

"Bao Datong." Ruan Zhan frowned, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that as a magician, you can use this ability to do good, but you cannot just control others. Unless someone asks you, it is a violation of morality."

"I know." Bao Datong did not refute, "I also know that this has been a little bit more recently, but this fact has been too old. If you don't use such a method, you will not be able to investigate it. However, what do you say about the rich real estate businessman?"

Ruan Zhan stretched out his thumb.

"This is the first time you agree with me. I will write a diary and record this touching day." Bao Datong joked, "But guess what Wang Yong said?"

"Do you want to buy a ticket and listen to your story? Keep it up quickly." Wanli urged.

"I really don't know if he doesn't say it. Five years ago, works about exposing supernatural phenomena were popular, such as the "Devil Valley". Our reporter Zhang liked this kind of reading material very much. He thought about it day and night and wanted to write a book, but he never had any chance. It was not until shortly before he got married that he heard that a supernatural incident was rumored in a place. So he didn't care about the busy schedule of the wedding, so he applied for a holiday and went there, hoping to investigate the story behind the supernatural phenomena, and then write a book based on this material."

"What's the matter? Where?" Wanli asked.

Unexpectedly, Bao Datong shook his head, "I don't know this, I only know that Zhang Zixin booked a plane ticket to Xi'an. You must know that sometimes the personalities between best friends may be completely opposite. This is how Zhang Zixin and Wang Yong are. First, Wang Yong is timid and does not want to intervene in these matters. Second, Zhang Zixin wants to crack the supernatural incidents himself and write a sensational book, so he did not disclose too much."

"You're a small amount of information," said Wan Li, "just pointing out the general direction, not very constructive."

"Then I'll attach another one - Lu Yan and Xiao Tong are indeed different, with complete files and not appearing out of thin air. So - if there is a problem with their mother and son, their physical body is normal. Then, what's your news?"

"We visited the families of the ten missing children under the name of Master Bao, but I heard that--"

"Ten companies? Aren't they seven?" Bao Datong interrupted Wanli in surprise.

"Obviously you are very busy these days and have not read the newspaper." Wan Li said, "I have disappeared three more children this week. The official has reminded the public to pay attention and let everyone take care of their children and not have the opportunity to be taken advantage of by criminals."

"But this has nothing to do with child trafficking, right?"

"It really doesn't matter. Because from the moment, they just kidnapped and did not sell."

"Why, it's not for food, right?" Bao Datong said, and he was also shocked.

I hope this will not be the result, it would be too cruel. He could not imagine eating children. If it were this, they would face demons!

Wanli ignored Bao Datong's guess and continued, "We asked many parents of missing children. Everyone said that the child's disappearance was very sudden and there was no sign in advance. Moreover, all the children disappeared in the middle of the night, and the door was opened from the inside. But there was a problem. The missing children were four to six years old, very young, and some couldn't even wear clothes well. If the security door was locked from the inside, some children could not open it on their own. However, when these children disappeared, they all wore their favorite clothes. When they disappeared, their parents slept very heavily and heard nothing. Importantly, every mother heard some strange sounds on the night the child disappeared."

"What?"

"Before bedtime, these mothers heard the baby's crying, but opened the door and had nothing. When they just went to bed, they kept hearing a child's voice on the street called - Mom! Mom!"

"Boy or girl?" Bao Datong asked.

"Nonsense!" Wanli breathed helplessly, "How old is the child, how many voices can distinguish between men and women?"

"And -" Ruan Zhan took over, "There are several parents of missing children who claimed to have seen a strange little girl appearing around. Because the little girl is weird, she has a very impressive impression."

"Is it Zhang Jialin?"

Ruan Zhan nodded, "That's right. There is another strange phenomenon - all the missing girls are the ones!"
