889 Love Gu

u dare complain about me We've all showered and changed clothes! The room is spotless!" My brother glared at him.This child, Tan Lang, is awfully burly. We all suspect he's from the North. His dad ev...Was the cleaning lady fainted by this thing

I poked the thing with pliers. It was soft and had no hardness, it seemed like a real dummy.

But the Xuan Yue on my shoulder was very alert, grabbing my hair and standing up, its jet-black eyes scanning everywhere, and its cute little ears also stood up, looking in all directions with wide-eyed vigilance.

Thinking maybe it was just a dummy, I got a little braver and used pliers to pry open the newspaper. The little hand was buried under the trash, with only one hand reaching out. Overall, it looked green and had some oozing sores.

The ambulance arrived quickly, startling the property manager's security guards who rushed over shouting all the way.

"You little girl, did you call the ambulance!" The security manager yelled at me as medical personnel went to attend to the fainted older woman.

I nodded. “It seems like there’s someone here. The older lady fainted from fright. I just saw it from upstairs, so I called an ambulance.”

As soon as he heard about someone, the security manager's face turned pale and he cursed, "Damn it, bad luck, isn't it some dismembered corpse case!"

He snatched the pliers from my hand and started rummaging through the trash can with a flourish, as if it would give him courage.

I was afraid the trash would splash on me, so I quickly stepped back. I saw several security guards removing the lid of the trash can and pulling out a green "child" from inside.

Then Xuan Yue immediately grabbed my hair, and I was infected by its emotions. I hurriedly ran back to the stairwell and hid far away to watch.

The security manager yelled, “Who the hell is so despicable as to raise such a terrifying thing You abandon it when it's dead and scare people! You idiot, you moron! This scares people, who pays for the medical bills!”

He stood in the courtyard between two buildings, ranting and raving, but during this time of day, most houses were empty and no one came out to claim him.

"Little girl, take a closer look! This is a green doll! Mom, nowadays you can find anything online, who would buy this thing to keep as a pet If it dies, they'll just throw it away!" The security manager, wearing gloves, took the green "child" out.

I took a few steps back, watching them from afar.

The green doll he was carrying looked nothing like a real person.

It looks like a potted plant, shaped like a baby laughing. It's all green, with some places cracked and rotting, oozing plant pus and smelling like wilted greens.

Suddenly, Xuan Yue covered my face with her big tail and wouldn't even let me look.

What are you doing I reached out and swatted at its tail.

The security manager couldn't see Xuan Yue, he just saw me covering my face repeatedly. He couldn't help but say, "If you're scared, hurry home and stay there! I really thought there was dismemberment, I even called the police! The police are coming right now! It turns out to be this kind of scary stuff!"

I checked my phone and it turns out they really do sell plants in that shape. They need a model frame to keep them stable as they grow.

Just like cultivating square watermelons, it's about putting them in a mold and forcibly changing their shape.

But if it's just an ordinary plant, why is Xuan Yue so nervous She won't even let me see.

Light footsteps suddenly sounded behind me. I turned around and saw Mu Wanchen walk down the stairs. He probably returned to the house, saw that Xuan Yue was gone, and came down to look for her.

“Why are you so flustered” he asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

I pointed frantically at it and said, "Something's off about that thing, but the security guard said it's a plant..."

He lowered his head to remove the mask, replacing it with a pair of wide-brimmed sunglasses.

Every time I see him do this, I get inexplicably turned on.

People say beauties are like paintings, even a slight lowering of the head and a glance down exudes charm.

He just lowered his head to change the thing covering his temple and cheekbones, but every time I see his forehead and eyebrows, my heart races.

"...You look at it and come back quickly, the security guard said the police are coming soon, you don't want to be questioned about your identity..." I moved my eyes away and muttered softly.

"Mm." He nodded and walked away.

The security manager walked away, probably to coordinate opening the door for the police car. Only a young security guard was left standing there guarding it, and the green doll just lay there on top of a pile of garbage bags.

"Hey, don't move around!" the little security guard shouted at Mu Wanchen.

He seemed to want to come over and stop Mu Wanchen, but the height and physique difference was too big, he didn't dare to really stand in front of Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen crouched down and took a close look. He said in a low voice, "It's best to burn this kind of thing. Keeping it around is just for scaring people and smelling bad."

"We definitely need to set it on fire, but we have to wait for the police to come and see it! Otherwise, they'll say we made a false report!" The little security guard scratched his head.

They probably fear hearing about any trouble in the neighborhood the most and would prefer to avoid any conflict.

Mu Wanchen quickly walked back, reached out to clasp my shoulder, and whispered, "That thing is problematic, you didn't touch it, did you"

"Nah, I just used pliers to touch it a little bit, didn't even dare get closer. Xuan Yue wouldn't let me look, so I ran over here to hide." I quickly shook my head to prove that I hadn't caused any trouble.

"That stench of rot wasn't just from plants... it was intentionally cultivated. Come on, let's go and deal with it later." he whispered.

He led me back to the house by my shoulders. As we entered, a family from the apartment across the hall was coming out. They saw us and asked, “Hey, are you the new tenants”

I turned my head and saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man. He eyed us warily.

"Yeah, what's up" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"There wasn't really a problem... I just wanted to ask you, have you heard any strange noises" His face was a little frightened as he walked over to us.

Mu Wanchen tucked me into his arms, and I could only show a pair of eyes to look at the middle-aged man: "What kind of strange sound is that Where did it come from"

The middle-aged man frowned and said, “... I thought you had heard it too. Lately, when I lock my door at night, I feel like I hear someone talking in the hallway. I’ve heard it several times… I thought it was a couple arguing, with the woman locking the door to keep the man out, and the man pleading.”

"But when they asked the security guard later, there wasn't a couple living on that floor—hey, didn't you two have an argument"

I turned my face grim. I wouldn't possibly lock Mu Wanchen out during an argument! Such a humiliating thing, of course, was something to argue about behind closed doors.

"We don't live here often, just come back occasionally to get things. The person you heard isn't us." I shook my head, ready to go inside.

"Huh, the property manager said there was no one else on this floor..." he muttered under his breath.

I ignored him, pulled Mu Wanting back to the room and shut the door. I asked, "Is it you who is raising Gu Spirits here Have they been discovered by someone with malicious intent"

He nodded slightly: "It's already been discovered. That old monster visited last time, and now he's probably being pressured by Mu Yunfan to strike first—", I went outside the funeral home for some fresh air... Two men came up to me and chatted me up. I felt dizzy and just followed them... Then the next day they suddenly appeared in my apartment... I di...
