The little fox heard what the fatty said and understood his meaning. It was nothing, "If Brother Fatty is worried, then let's go in and take a look."
"It won't take much time anyway, but if something really happens, we can save someone."
This was what the fatty thought. Seeing that the little fox had said so, the fatty immediately nodded, "Yes, let's go in and take a look. What if someone is in danger? We might have a chance to save them but leave. If this really happens and I find out later, I will feel uneasy."
When the little fox heard the fatty say that, he felt that the fatty was truly a good person and said cooperatively, "Then let's go in. It's too dark inside. We should turn on the flashlight and maybe even record. This way, we can avoid some disputes."
The fatty thought the little fox's suggestion made sense, so he took out his phone as instructed, turned on the flashlight and recording function, but did not start recording immediately.
The fatty and the little fox walked towards the alley. The fatty thought for a moment and said to the little fox, "By the way, little fox, I feel this place is eerie. It's possible that something supernatural is happening. You are also sensitive to that aspect, which is why you can hear it and I can't."
"You should be more careful. If it's related to that, we won't be able to see it with our naked eyes."
When the little fox heard this, he knew what the fatty was referring to. He then gave the fatty an eye-opening talisman.
Although the little fox had to relearn everything about metaphysics after losing his memory, his talent was still there, and he learned many things quickly. He could now use them flexibly and carried many items with him, such as eye-opening talismans, which were essential for the little fox.
They walked deeper into the alley for a while, but they reached a dead end and found nothing. This time, even the little fox could not hear any woman's screams.
The fatty and the little fox looked at each other in the darkness. The little fox sighed and said, "It seems I really misheard. Maybe nothing happened, and we came for nothing."
Hearing the little fox say that, the fatty comforted him, "What's the big deal? We didn't come for nothing. At least we confirmed that nothing happened. If something had happened and we heard it but didn't come, that would have been worse."
"Since nothing happened, it's a good thing. We can go home with peace of mind."
The little fox nodded, and as the two of them were about to turn back, suddenly, even the fatty heard it – a woman's scream, sharp and piercing, cutting through the silent night sky.
"Ah! Let go of me, let go of me! What is it? What is grabbing my foot! Help! Help! Is anyone there to save me!"
The fatty and the little fox looked at each other and immediately shone their flashlights around, but they saw nothing. Clearly, the little fox should have been able to see, and the fatty had also used the eye-opening talisman. Hearing the woman's cry for help, it sounded exactly like she was in trouble with something supernatural. Where could it be?
The little fox carefully observed the surroundings. After the fatty found nothing for a long time, he asked the little fox, "Little fox, I can't seem to see where that woman is. Can you see her?"
The little fox shook his head, "I can't see either. It shouldn't be... But based on the sound, I can't determine the direction. The sound seems to be coming from all directions, so I can't pinpoint it by sound."
But now, it was confirmed that a woman was in danger. The fatty and the little fox would naturally not leave easily. They continued to try to find clues, even if the results were not good. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Suddenly, the fatty and the little fox said, "Little fox, don't you think this voice sounds familiar? We seem to have heard it somewhere before."
The little fox looked at the fatty. It turned out that the fatty also found the voice familiar, which meant they had both heard it before. However, the little fox felt that this matter needed to be confirmed again, so he asked the fatty, "I also think it sounds a bit familiar. What does the voice you heard sound like? Can you describe it?"
The fatty thought for a moment and tried his best to describe it to the little fox. After the little fox confirmed it, he was sure that he and the fatty had heard the same voice.
But the little fox couldn't recall where he had heard it, and it gave him a bit of a headache, "Where did I hear it before?"
The fatty thought for a moment and said, "I think I heard it today, maybe not long ago?"
The little fox was reminded, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, "Heard it today? Not long ago? Brother Fatty, I know!"
"Listen to this voice, doesn't it sound like our neighbor, the flower shop owner?"
The fatty also compared it in his mind, and the voice of the neighbor's flower shop owner matched. "Yes, yes! It's her! Did something happen to her?"
Both of them were startled. The little fox said in a deep voice, "Then we must quickly think of a way to save her."
The fatty also nodded, "Indeed. That flower shop owner is so beautiful. If something happened to her, it would be a tragedy of beauty."
However, knowing who the victim was, it became easier for the little fox to find her. Without a target before, it was not so easy to act.
The little fox pondered for a moment and took out a few talismans from his body. Using the light of the flashlight, he identified them one by one, ensuring he had not made a mistake, and then began to prepare.
The fatty was not as skilled in this area and could only watch the little fox work.
He waited for a while and saw that where there had been a wall in their eyes, the wall disappeared into thin air, revealing a deeper alley.
Not far from them, Lin Yun was lying on the ground, crying in fear and desperately crawling forward, trying to escape. However, one of her feet was raised unnaturally high, never touching the ground. Lin Yun could only crawl forward with her hands and the one foot that was not restrained.
Suddenly hearing footsteps, Lin Yun looked up. Her eyes were first blinded by the flashlight beam, and then she saw two familiar faces.
Hope immediately welled up in her heart. Lin Yun crawled forward a bit more desperately and shouted to the fatty and the little fox, "Help! Save me!"
There was no time to hesitate. The situation was as it was. The fatty and the little fox rushed forward almost immediately. The fatty went to help Lin Yun, while the little fox rushed forward to confront the shadowy figure in the darkness, successfully repelling it.
Then, Lin Yun felt the ankle that had been pulling her foot being released, and it finally landed on the ground, under her control.
The fatty tried to help her up, "Boss Lin, are you alright? Get up quickly!"
"Thank you." Lin Yun thanked the fatty and tried to stand up, but unexpectedly, the foot that had been grabbed earlier, for some reason, had no strength.
"I, I can't seem to get up. My foot is numb!"
Hearing Lin Yun's nervous and frightened voice, the little fox walked over, squatted down, and said to Lin Yun, "Don't be nervous, I'll check it for you."
Lin Yun looked at the little fox squatting in front of her, putting away the unused talismans. Her gaze towards the little fox was a little strange.
Before today, in her eyes, the little fox was just a very ordinary, handsome, and very young boy. She never expected that after encountering such a bizarre incident, even the little fox's identity in her eyes would change.
"Okay, okay, you can look." Lin Yun agreed, but she couldn't help but ask the little fox, "You know these things... are you a Taoist priest?"
The little fox looked up when he heard Lin Yun's words, "A Taoist priest? I'm not a Taoist priest."
Lin Yun then asked, "Then how do you know these strange things? And you even managed to drive away that thing just now."
The little fox paused, exchanged a glance with the fatty, and replied to Lin Yun, "Just a hobby, a hobby."
He checked Lin Yun's foot and determined there were no supernatural tricks involved. Then he said to Lin Yun, "Your foot is probably just a normal sprain or something from when it was pulled earlier. It's a normal injury, you can go to the hospital."
Lin Yun's heart eased a little, but she couldn't walk in her current state to go to the hospital. "Could you please take me to the hospital? I can't walk right now."
The little fox nodded, "Of course. Since we came to save you, there's no reason to leave you here alone. I..."
The little fox's words were cut short as his phone suddenly rang. The little fox glanced at the screen; it was Ye Tiancheng calling. The little fox answered, "Hello, Big Brother, why are you calling me suddenly? Aren't you supposed to be on a date with Sister-in-law?"
Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox, "Where are you and Fatty? Little Sister-in-law told me that Fatty called home earlier saying he was coming back, but he hasn't arrived home for a long time. Your phones are also unreachable, saying they are out of service area. So I came personally to check. Did you encounter something?"
Generally speaking, if a phone indicates it's out of service area, it's very likely that something quite strange has happened, and some means would be needed to contact each other.
The "Little Sister-in-law" Ye Tiancheng mentioned was naturally Fatty's girlfriend. Seeing that Fatty and the little fox were late in returning home and couldn't be reached, she knew something about this situation and called Ye Tiancheng out of worry.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have disturbed Ye Tiancheng in this situation, knowing that he was on a date with Hou Mingzhu.
At this time, the only way she could contact Fatty and the little fox was to find Ye Tiancheng.
Hearing Ye Tiancheng say that, the little fox honestly explained the situation, "It's like this, Big Brother. When Fatty and I were on our way home, we passed by an alley and heard someone calling for help. When we came in, we found it was our neighbor, Boss Lin from the flower shop, so we were delayed."
"Boss Lin is still here. Her foot is injured, and we need to take her to the hospital. We might be a bit late returning."
After hearing the little fox's explanation, Ye Tiancheng was silent for a moment. He thought for a moment and asked the little fox, "Okay, where are you now?"
The little fox gave Ye Tiancheng an address.
After a while, perhaps Ye Tiancheng was checking the location, and then the little fox heard Ye Tiancheng say, "Then you and Fatty bring Boss Lin out, and we'll pick you up."
The little fox was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It's okay, Big Brother. You and Sister-in-law don't need to worry about us. We've already resolved everything here and will be back soon. You don't need to make a special trip."
However, Ye Tiancheng's attitude was firm, "No need to say more. I'm already driving over. Wait for us at the alley entrance."
