By the time Shang Qing summoned all the souls back, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

The parents took the child away with great gratitude and stuffed red envelopes and bank cards into his pocket. He was too tired to even say no.

After resting for a while, Shang Qing took out a stack of talismans and said to You Mingchi: "I will draw a few places on the map in a while. You find someone to post these talismans, and then send someone to guard them. When that person appears, the talismans will There is a reaction. The person probably won’t move during the day, and it will probably be at night.”

You Mingchi rubbed his face and said, "You can draw as much as you want. If there aren't enough people, I'll borrow it from another department."

Shang Qing didn't care whether others were good enough or not. Anyway, he was very concerned about it, so he took the map and drew three circles, then threw away the pen, found a hospital bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Shang Qing yawned and went to school. Under the sharp eyes of Teacher Luo, he bravely passed the math test.

Tomorrow is the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, and it is customary to leave school early this afternoon. Shang Qing walked to the campus gate with You Ziming and Meng Huai, and saw Shao Yan waiting for them on a shared bicycle.

As soon as he saw the three of them, Shao Yan waved wildly to say hello: "Fellow Daoist Zhou! Classmate You and Classmate Meng! Let's go eat hot pot together!"

Shang Qing and the other three: "..."

Did fellow Taoist Shao hold it back in Yunhua Temple? Why did he go down to the mountain to eat hot pot?

Shao Yan chuckled, "Let's go to my house for dinner. The bottom of the pot I cooked is delicious!"

The three of them were so enthusiastic and couldn't refuse, so they took a taxi together to Shao Yan's house.

Shao Yan's family lived in an ordinary community not far away. The only thing that was not ordinary was that both Shao Yan's parents died and he lived with his younger sister.

Maybe he's used to being an older brother. This guy has the temperament of a househusband all over him.

Several people came in and Shao Yan was busy cooking the pot. You Ziming and Meng Huai didn't regard themselves as outsiders and went into the kitchen to help wash and pick vegetables.

Only Shang Qing hadn't rested yet, lying crookedly on the sofa and yawning.

You Ziming asked: "Where is our sister?"

Shao Yan: "She signed up for a cram school by herself. She has to go to the cram school to study for a while after school every day. She will be back when the bottom of the pot is cooked."

Meng Huai shook his head, "No wonder my mother always wanted a daughter. Girls are sensible. I have never taken the initiative to study since I was a child."

Shao Yan smiled happily, "My sister is really sensible and studies well. She always ranks first. Every time I go to a parent-teacher meeting, the teacher praises her for a long time!"

You Mingchi: "I also want a sister. I haven't heard the teacher's praise yet..."

Considering that Shang Qing didn't sleep well last night, Shao Yan cooked tomato pot this time. It didn't take long for the sweet and sour taste to come out.

A few people cleared the table and put the dishes on the table when the door rang.

A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old walked in. She was tall, slender and had a neat ponytail on the back of her head. She looked exactly like Shao Yan.

Meng Huai smiled so hard that his eyebrows curled up, "Sister, I'm back. We are your brother's friends and we came to your house to eat hot pot."

The little girl looked around and said calmly: "Hello, three brothers, I am Shao Yan's sister Shao Jing. You are welcome to be our guests."

Meng Huai and You Ziming quickly waved their hands. Shang Qing stood up from the sofa, walked slowly over, took out a triangular talisman and handed it over, "Wear it on your body for safety and don't get wet."

The little girl glanced at her brother and when he nodded, she took the talisman and said, "Thank you."

Shao Yan took his sister's schoolbag and hurriedly asked her to change clothes. The remaining three people sat at the table and waited.

You Ziming: "My sister is so cute, I'm envious."

Meng Huai: "Envy +1."

Shang Qing continued to yawn, thinking that my sister is cuter, hum.

The three of them were quiet for a while, then heard voices coming from their sister's room. It wasn't that they were eavesdropping, it was just that the soundproofing of the house was not very good. Although the brother and sister had lowered their voices, they could still hear clearly.

Shao Jing: "Brother, did you go for a walk today?"

Shao Yan: "Ah... That's gone. It's gone."

Shao Jing: "Walking is for you, not for me. You have to understand this. If you stay at home all day long, it is bad for your health. You can't see it now. What will you do when you get older?"

Shao Yan: "...I know it was wrong QAQ"

You Ziming and Meng Huai outside began to feel restless.

After a while, my sister said again: "Since I didn't go out for a walk, my brother must have learned the formation today, right?"

Shao Yan: "...Yes, I'm sorry..."

Shao Jing's tone was calm, "Brother, Taoist Master Yunxu arranged the formation learning. If you don't learn it now, are you cramming it in while you wait for the Taoist Master's inspection? I saw in WeChat that several other Taoist Masters have checked in today. Brother, can you learn from me about my learning tasks?"

Shao Yan: "...Okay, okay, I understand. I will start learning QAQ tomorrow."

Shao Jing: "Okay brother, sister, I believe you can do it. You have friends here today, so I won't say more. You can think about it yourself."

Outside, You Ziming and Meng Huai's backs were wet with cold sweat. They felt like they were seeing a young version of Teacher Luo! Doubly scary!

After a while, the brother and sister came out. Shao Jing walked in front without any abnormality, and Shao Yan followed closely.

The two sat down at the table. You Ziming and Meng Huai subconsciously sat upright. If the table hadn't been too full, they would have even wanted to fold their arms in front of them...

A silent hot pot session began, and Shang Qing even had the illusion that he was dreaming back to today's math test...

After eating for a while, Shao Jing felt that his brothers really didn't know how to adjust the atmosphere, so she had to say, "I heard that you are seniors in high school, why did you finish school so early?"

You Ziming was frightened, "Tomorrow is the Qingming holiday. It is our school's custom to finish school early the day before the holiday. No, it's not skipping class!"

Shao Jing was slightly surprised, "Why do you think so? Do you often skip classes?"

You Ziming: "...No, no, I don't...don't skip class..."

Shao Jing nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, skipping classes affects your studies. It is right not to skip classes."

You Ziming: "...Thank you."

Meng Huai next to him almost buried his head in the bowl, and Shao Yan didn't dare to speak. Next to him, Shang Qing was picking up vegetables with chopsticks, separated from the entire table, looking like he was almost sleepwalking.

After eating for a while, Shao Jing put down the bowl and chopsticks, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go back to the room to do my homework first."

Meng Huai and You Ziming breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Meng Huai said: "You are busy, you are busy..."

After Shao Jing left, the atmosphere on the table relaxed instantly. You Ziming picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He didn't dare to eat more just now.

Meng Huai sighed, "If my sister were like this, the world would be too scary..."

Shao Yan sighed sadly, "My sister used to be cute and soft. Alas, it's all my fault. When she was about to reach puberty, I was afraid that she would be rebellious, so I bought several books on adolescent psychology. Who knew that she would end up like this after reading it? Already..."

Shao Yan: "Do you think I bought a pirated copy at that time? Wow, oh, oh, I haven't heard my sister act coquettishly for a long time..."

You Ziming swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Piracy is harmful to people!"

Under the same sky, some people are eating hot pot and singing songs, while others are bent on harming others and themselves.

In the basement of an abandoned factory. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, the woman dug out a spacious stroller and covered it with soft cushions.

Then she took out a dirty cloth bag and opened it, revealing dark red powder inside. She carefully picked out some, turned it into water and fed it to the little boy.

The child raised his fleshy hands to wipe his eyes, yawned, and fell asleep.

She put the child into the stroller and settled it down, then took out dozens of hydrogen balloons in the shape of small animals and hung them on the car. She put on a cute bear costume and pushed the car out.

At Shao Yan's house, several boys were cleaning the battlefield. Meng Huai swept the floor and said, "What are your arrangements for Qingming Festival? My mother said she would take me back to my hometown to play, and also go back to pay my cousin a grave. When I get back from Qingming Festival, we will You have to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination. She asked me to ask you if you are going."

You Ziming immediately raised his hand, "I'm going! My parents went to Kyoto last month. I have to be at home alone during the holidays. I'll be bored to death."

Meng Huai: "Okay, my mother will definitely be happy if you go. There are people carrying the greetings. Shang Qing, Shao Yan, are you going? My hometown is in Baishui Town. The scenery is great, no worse than those Internet celebrity attractions. "

Shao Yan shook his head, "My sister is going to a cram school, so I have to take care of her."

Shang Qing heard the name Baishui Town a little familiar, "Is Baishui Town in our city?"

Meng Huai: "Where is it? Baishui Town is in Changqian City. You have to take a plane to get there!"

Shang Qing immediately realized that Changqian City was where he had just passed through. The reason why Baishui Town sounded familiar was because this was where the original owner grew up.

But as soon as he heard about Baishui Town, he seemed to have a strange feeling. The magician's intuition was very accurate. He thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll go too."

Meng Huai: "Okay, my mother will definitely be happier if you go there. Then I will cook you the specialties of Baishui Town!"

You Ziming: "...No, why is there delicious food when Shang Qing goes there, but I can only carry my luggage? Is Auntie so partial?"

Meng Huai said with an innocent face, "Huh?"

At this time, Shang Qing's cell phone rang. He picked it up and immediately hung up the phone, "The woman who sucked the soul out of life has been found. I have to go there!" After that, he ran out.

Shao Yan quickly picked up his backpack, "Wait for me, I'll go too!"

The two people left behind looked at each other, both worried.

Yanhe Shopping Mall.

This is an old brand shopping mall in Qingyun City. It is very close to the western suburbs of Qingyun City. It used to be one of the most important shopping malls in the city. Now it has declined, but there are also people who live nearby who come to visit.

The old shopping mall is no brighter and smoother than the newly built shopping malls in recent years. The corridors here are very cramped and there are not many people.

A big bear pushing a stroller was distributing hydrogen balloons to children passing by.

Shang Qing looked at the big bear in doll clothes, "Is that her?"

You Ziming looked serious: "Yes, I just asked my colleagues to check. This big bear has appeared in other shopping malls before, and the children who have left the soul have taken her balloons."

Shang Qing: "There is a magic circle on the balloon. Children only need to place the balloon at home, and when it activates the magic circle, their souls will be taken away."

You Ziming: "What to do now?"

Shang Qing: "We have to lure her out. There are too many people here. And the child in the stroller can be easily injured."

You Ziming: "What do you want to do?"

Shang Qing whispered a few words to him.

The woman hid behind the doll clothes and handed out balloons to the children one by one. As long as there is one more child's soul, her baby has a greater chance of recovery. It's a pity that she didn't know who was targeting her, so she didn't dare to go to those crowded shopping malls, so she could only try her luck here, but only sent out less than ten balloons in one night.

At this time, two boys walked towards each other. The one in front was wearing a pink sweater and looked handsome. The one at the back is a young man, lazily putting his hands in his pockets.

As they passed each other, I heard the young man say: "Okay, go back quickly. I don't know which kindergarten is doing publicity in the square outside. More than thirty children came, and it was so noisy..."

Under the doll's head, the woman's eyes flashed, and there were more than thirty children...
