The ugly little ghost child emitted a burst of blue light when its thin palm touched the pocket watch, and the exquisite and expensive crystal dial exploded instantly! A wisp of blue-black smoke sprang out from the black-and-white photo and sank into the little ghost child’s eyebrows at lightning speed.
“Ah————”
A high-frequency, ear-piercing scream came from the child’s mouth. The sound waves were almost substantial, and the agitation made the space seem to become unstable. Waves after waves hit Xu Maomao’s eardrum with him as the center.
Xu Maomao even felt unbearable and covered his ears with his paws.
The child screamed and rolled on the ground, bumping against the wall stained with bloody handprints. Such a loud movement alarmed other guests on this floor.
Among them was the room where Xu Maomao had heard the strange noise from just now. He heard a creak, then the door opened, and half of a body leaned out.
It was a thin figure dressed in gorgeous clothes – humanoid, pale and handsome, but one of his hands was missing. Blood spurted out from the wound, but the spurted blood splashed for only about half a meter, as if it had encountered an invisible black hole and then disappeared into the extra-dimensional space.
Xu Maomao was not afraid of the little ghost child, but he rolled his eyes at the ghost that kept leaking blood: “Ghost, ghost blood!!”
Unexpectedly, the moment the ghost saw him, he also screamed: “Cat! !!” Then he retreated into the room and closed the door.
Uh, a ghost who’s afraid of cats?
The ghost was still cursing at the door: “Hello? Front desk? Come up to the 18th floor. There’s a cat here! It’s so scary, so scary! Come up and save me!”
“It’s really a cat! I’m not lying to you. Hurry up, the little ghost boy is screaming so loudly outside!”
“…”
Before Xu Maomao could react, the little ghost child suddenly stopped screaming, and his pale skin turned shrimp red. He couldn’t help but keep scratching the ground and the wall with his thin limbs, then he started banging his head against the wall and seemed to be in great pain.
Xu Maomao looked distressed and stretched out his paws to touch him: “Pu Xuan, is it Pu Xuan?”
The little ghost boy was stunned when he heard the name and looked over.
To be honest, it was quite scary to be looked at by such a pair of eyes, but Xu Maomao still stubbornly approached him. Unexpectedly, Pu Xuan suddenly made a noise, opened his bloody mouth, and rushed towards him!
Pu Xuan’s white eyes turned blood red, bursting with strong murderous intent.
Xu Maomao reacted quickly and retreated immediately, but Pu Xuan hit his head and crawled over with his mouth wide open. He seemed to be delirious and had mistaken him for a bad guy.
Xu Maomao ran in the corridor as fast as he could, but Pu Xuan was very fast. If it weren’t for the small size of the cat and the struggle of Pu Xuan while fusing his soul, causing his movements to occasionally stall, he would have been bitten long ago.
“Pu Xuan! I am Baobao’s friend! Baobao, Baobao, do you remember?” Xu Maomao shouted desperately, he could hardly run anymore!
Pu Xuan became more and more excited because of the word “Baobao”, and his explosive power suddenly came out. He roared and was about to pounce on him. At this time, a red net shot out from behind Pu Xuan, instantly catching him before he could pounce on him.
Xu Maomao rolled around on the ground a few times. He looked up and saw his boss and another man coming out of the elevator door. The net was actually made of that man’s hair.
“Little boy!” The boss rushed up.
But Pu Xuan bared his teeth and bit into the net desperately, and even turned around to hit the boss.
“Boss, don’t get close to him! He’s become fierce again!” The man separated a strand of hair, lifted the boss high, passed the ghost baby, and threw it to Xu Maomao, “Hold the kitten away!”
Sure enough, Pu Xuan began to attack everyone indiscriminately, and the man had to deal with him in order to protect his boss. Pu Xuan was too strong and frequently pulled out a lot of the man’s long hair. Every time a hair was broken, the man screamed and grimaced in pain.
The long red hair was torn into sections, but when it fell to the ground, it turned into thin red cotton threads.
While the men were besieging Pu Xuan, the boss immediately picked up Xu Maomao and ran away. Pu Xuan looked around and struggled to catch up, presumably thinking that Xu Maomao was his number one enemy.
“Kitten? Are you today’s guest?” the boss asked while running out of breath.
Xu Maomao: “Hey!” He could actually see through me? Isn’t the boss an ordinary human being?
“I don’t understand.”
“—Be careful!” the red-haired man shouted from behind.
The boss looked back and saw that half of Pu Xuan’s body had broken through the net.
“Ah ah ah ah Qian Ling, hurry up and build a net!”
“I’m hurting so much! Hurry up and call Kuiqing!”
“I can’t call him! Kuiqing is not in the service area!” The boss had to hug him as Xu Maomao rushed to the door that was opened and closed just now, and banged it hard: “Master Ghost King, please come out and help me!”
“No, there is a cat outside! When I see a cat, my legs go weak QAQ!”
It was the ghost who was afraid of cats just now.
“F**k!” Qian Ling was so angry that he could only turn his remaining hair into a net and continue to catch the crazy little ghost child. He thought sadly that he would become bald if he didn’t wake up.
Pu Xuan couldn’t attack for a long time and seemed to be extremely angry. His body suddenly swelled several times, and finally completely exhausted Qian Ling’s power. He no longer fought with Qian Ling but turned around with a pair of bloody eyes, all the while staring at the boss and Xu Maomao who were knocking on the door.
However, just as he rushed over, a black and white shadow flashed quickly in the dim corridor.
“Little master!”
Baobao’s voice sounded suddenly, mixed with excitement and choked with sobs. Its sound was not loud at all, but Pu Xuan’s furious body froze at that moment.
He opened his mouth wide, and his fingers were only half a meter away from the boss and Xu Maomao. In just a moment, he could pierce the boss’s chest with his sharp nails, but he remained motionless as if he had been hit with a restraining spell.
“Little master, little master.” The tabby cat murmured and walked up.
Pu Xuan retracted his hand and turned around stiffly. After seeing the cat, his red eyeballs seemed to be filled with a layer of fog, and his bloody mouth gradually shrank into a small one. He unconsciously responded: “Baobao…”
“Little master!” The tabby cat jumped up, not dissing his ugly and terrifying appearance at all, and actually jumped into his arms. “I finally, finally found you!”
“Baobao…”
“Yes, I am your Baobao! Remember me, right?” The tabby cat licked him desperately, hesitating to hug him but not daring to, so he held his arms, “Your name is Pu Xuan, and you are Baobao’s only little master! Remember me quickly!”
The little ghost baby paused for a long time, and finally slowly wrapped his skinny arms around the cat in his arms. The pair of bloody eyes actually shed bloody tears, and more and more tears flowed, staining the tabby cat red.
The tabby cat climbed up in his arms, put its paws on his bony shoulders, then he raised its little head, and kissed his disproportionately large eyes.
Then everyone was shocked to see that the red eyes began to gradually fade and turned into the gray-white color from before. With the tabby cat’s licking and kissing, it changed again little by little. The white mist in the eyes seemed to be blown by the gentle breeze and were scattered, the black eyeballs were like ink dots on white paper, smearing the white eyes.
His eyes returned to their original clear, black-and-white color, and his swollen body slowly shrank and deformed. Finally, he turned into an ordinary, normal human child of about ten years old, wearing a small black suit and a tie, looking exactly the same as in the black and white photo.
The tears he shed became crystal clear, and the bloody tears on Baobao’s body also disappeared unconsciously. He held Baobao firmly in his arms and said clearly: “Baobao, my Baobao, you are here.”
“Little master!” Baobao was like a child who had been away from home for too long and finally returned home. He clung to him tightly, his tail wagging wildly like a puppy.
“I’ve been looking for you for many years!”
Pu Xuan lowered his head and kissed its furry little head: “I know, I know now, my memory is back.”
He grabbed the damaged pocket watch on the ground and said word by word, “That ray of soul stored my memory. Through it, I can clearly see how you have been looking for me all these years, Baobao…my Baobao…I’m sorry for making you work so hard.”
For decades without interruption. During his search, he was bullied by countless people and other monsters. It was unknown to outsiders, but Pu Xuan could clearly see through that ray of soul. He went crazy just now because of the strong guilt, longing, distress, and resentment… All kinds of emotions surged up, causing him to lose his mind and instantly turn into a malevolent ghost.
