Chapter 953: Opposing Worlds (48)
In the dim light, the TV screen flickered faintly. On the screen, a pale ghost was slowly crawling out of the ancient well. The eerie movements made people's hair stand on end. The creepy sound effects echoed in the living room, as if the ghost was right next to them, ready to reach out with cold hands and grab their ankles at any time.
Ling'er sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding Xiaowei in her arms. Both of their cheeks were bulging with potato chips.
Xiao Wei's eyes widened as he stared at the TV screen. Suddenly, he stretched out his finger, which was covered with seasoning powder, pointed at the TV and shouted, "Reach out your hand!"
Ling'er excitedly stuffed a few more potato chips into her mouth, then smiled and hugged Xiaowei tighter, as if this could protect him from the ghost.
When the bloody close-up appeared on the screen, they not only did not scream, but they all giggled at the same time, and the laughter seemed particularly abrupt in this terrifying atmosphere. It was as if they were watching a comedy instead of a horror movie.
Tian Jie sat on the sofa on the other side, looking at the two of them, one big and one small, in silence and confusion.
He really couldn't understand why they laughed so happily when watching horror movies.
A few days ago, when he heard the doorbell ring, he thought it was another group of people coming to kill him, but when he opened the door, he saw these two people.
After briefly introducing themselves, the two of them walked into his room without saying anything and announced that they would stay in the guest bedroom.
From then on, every morning when Tianjie woke up, he would find them in the living room, either watching TV or eating snacks, as if this was their own home.
At first, he thought that maybe they were driven out by Xingrong for some reason, so they wanted to live here.
But in fact, one time the door of the room opposite happened to open, and he caught a glimpse of the two women starting to talk and laugh happily with the people opposite, without any signs of displeasure or quarrel at being kicked out.
What made him feel even more strange was that every time a killer came in, they would all look up at the same time, as if confirming something important, and then continue watching the horror movie as if nothing had happened, ignoring the killer's presence.
Not only that, whenever he went out, there would be another woman across the street who happened to go out, and happened to go to the same destination, and then happened to stay at the same time and return to the top floor.
These coincidences made him increasingly suspicious that there was something fishy going on.
Finally, when the horror movie ended and the two were reselecting new movies, Tian Jie could no longer suppress his inner doubts and blurted out, "Are you guys spying on me?"
In the past few days, apart from Xing Rong and the little boy, he has met several other women frequently. It is hard not to suspect that they are monitoring his every move.
Hearing this, Ling'er slowly turned her head and glanced at him indifferently. Then she returned her gaze to the TV screen, shook her head slightly, and replied calmly, "No, we are waiting for someone."
This answer surprised Tian Jie a little. Could it be that they were sure that the person they were waiting for would come to find him?
Tian Jie was skeptical about this statement. He felt that it was just an excuse for them to monitor him.
Unexpectedly, not long after, their statement was confirmed.
During the weekly meeting, Tian Jie discovered that the person sitting next to him was not Xing Rong. So he chose to follow Xing Rong's example and leave the mess to the woman and little boy who had been following him.
Seeing that Tian Jie was about to leave alone, Xiaohua and Mingxi immediately told Xingrong about the situation through the "Thousand Mile Sound Transmission" method in their sea of consciousness.
Xiaohua watched Tianjie's receding figure, hugging Mingxi and muttering, "If Xiaoxingrong hadn't asked me to keep an eye on him, I wouldn't have bothered to care about his life or death... He actually left this mess to a weak woman and a cute, vulnerable child, and ran away all by himself. He's really not a man!"
After listening to Xing Rong's complaints, Ming Xi nodded in agreement. Then she looked up at Xiao Hua and said, "That's right! Sister Xiao Hua is right! This old man is very evil!"
When Xiaohua heard Mingxi's agreement, her mood immediately became happy. She happily stretched out her hand and gently pinched Mingxi's cute little face.
Even if he was killed in this world, he couldn't have died like this.
After all, he is the master of the realm. How could he die so easily?
