Chapter 49 Dilemma
He Xiang, who became famous in one battle when the Death-Sucking Ghost gang committed a crime and suddenly attacked, thought he would return to peace after a storm that took away his memory, but instead he was greeted by the organization's thirsty for talents.
The day after the fierce battle, a mysterious man came to the door. To be more precise, it was a test.
He Xiang went out to school in the morning and checked the life balance of others as always. Along the way, fortunately, everyone's life span expired in a normalized second.
Protecting the life span of others has become He Xiang's habit at some point. She would just look up and as long as the number in front didn't move and only the seconds were decreasing, she would let out a long sigh of relief as a habit.
Beep - beep - beep - when he was about to reach the school, He Xiang heard the whistle for help coming from the scabbard that only the life-keeper could hear.
"Look, that's the boss!" Zi Eggplant saw it first with sharp eyes.
The fat man took out the roasted sweet potato from his arms and prepared to give it to her immediately.
Big man Xiao said disdainfully:
"Fat man is so thoughtful! He thinks that people are just like him, only thinking about eating, and don't know how to prepare a drink for the boss? You want to choke her to death!"
Xiaoni slapped him and glared at him:
"Bah, bah, bah - hurry up and do this with me, be careful what you say becomes a prophecy!" She spat a few times and asked him to imitate her.
The fat man scratched the back of his head and said sarcastically:
"The boss always treats us to big dinners, and I don't have the money to treat her back. Once, I saw her staring at a roasted sweet potato stall for a long time, thinking she might like to eat this."
"I'm going to see the boss to buy a bottle of water!"
This may be because He Xiang, the life-keeper, saw the strangeness of the life span of the person roasting sweet potatoes, and after looking at her for a few more times, he thought it was because she liked to eat sweet potatoes.
If she stares at a boy for a long time, will he help her catch him?
While a few people were chatting and laughing, Zi Eggplant looked up:
"Look, the boss is running towards Magnolia Lane to the west!"
"Is there any special reason why you ran so fast?"
Xiaoni greeted them:
"Follow up quickly!"
Yan Ge, who was entering the school over there, saw it and chased him out:
"Why are you running? Wait for me!"
Yan Ge also chased after him!
Xiao, a big man with long legs, ran at the front. He thought to himself that it was because he was curious about how a girl could have such a crazy reputation that he followed her again and again, and his curiosity turned into inquiry.
Finally, after meeting her and Xiaoni in the lobby of the restaurant building, I realized that she could see the danger of being invisible. It was just to help others avoid danger, that's why she got the name of being crazy. That's why she had followers.
Her opportunity, this boss is generous and loyal, and he also does a mysterious and just cause...
Thinking of this, he took bigger steps.
The fat man running at the back was sweating profusely and panting. He shouted as he climbed:
"Big man...run slowly, wait for me——"
These people were running as fast as they could. Passers-by stopped to look at each other and started talking about each other: The one running at the front must be a thief!
He Xiang heard the whistle coming from the direction of Magnolia Lane, and ran out following the sound of the whistle. He accidentally ended up in the newly rented place for his parents.
Turning around this intersection, you will find the house where your parents live. This whistle sounds in the direction of home. Could it be that something unexpected happened to your family?
He Xiang's heart tightened, and he was confused by concern. He almost tripped over a stone under his feet.
At the stall where she stood firm, she looked up and saw that she was already at the door of her house:
"Old man, didn't I tell you to look at Cong'er? Why did I wash two pieces of clothes and no one was there?"
"Old lady, don't worry, I'll go out and look for you."
My brother is missing? Will this cost my parents’ lives?!
He Xiang stopped, his parents rushed out of the door, and the three of them bumped into each other.
"Xiaoxiangzi, why are you back?
Ahhhhhhhh...your brother is gone.
Quick, help your parents find your brother!"
However, the whistle for help coming from Jixiang Street behind my house was still blowing tenaciously.
what to do?
On the one hand, a stranger is in a dangerous situation under the claws of the devil, and on the other hand, his brother with cerebral palsy, whom his parents regard as his life, is such a coincidence?
He Xiang was making a choice quickly. What would Yu Fei or other life-keepers do? If his stupid brother walked out, he would definitely get lost, unable to find his way home, and would most likely lose contact; a stranger.
At this moment, when a person encounters a life-sucking ghost, he does not lose contact, but loses his life.
She would never forget how Yu Fei was attacked by two vicious dogs in the park that Saturday in order to save her father. His bloody wounds were clearly displayed in front of He Xiang's eyes.
Quick! Go and save people!
"Alley - where are you going in a hurry?" Father He sighed and said to himself:
"Why is this child so reckless? Is there anything more important than her brother?"
Ah, when Mother He thought of losing her son, she fell to the ground and cried, hugging Father He's legs and said:
"It's all your fault, you damn old man. You can't even look after a child. What do you mean you were pruning flowers and mowing grass so early in the morning? You even lost your child. I... you can't find Cong'er back,
I will fight you tooth and nail, wuwu..."
He's mother was in a panic and started crying and making a fuss. He's father sighed heavily:
"How can we live like this?
Giving birth to a daughter is unreliable, but giving birth to a son is still a fool!
God, please take me in!"
The neighbors heard that the He family was making a fuss early in the morning, and when they came out, they saw that their silly son was missing, and they all tried to persuade each other.
Some said, don't be afraid, your son will never go far. If you go out and look for him, you will definitely find him.
Yes, don't worry, we can go to the community or police station to report the crime and mobilize everyone to find it together.
Yes, the child has grown taller and bigger, and he keeps smiling cheerfully. He has obvious characteristics, so we went to look for him separately.
Brother He Xiang's matter was finally solved with the help of enthusiastic neighbors.
Among the people running behind He Xiang, only Xiaoni knew He Xiang's parents. When she saw this scene, she stopped and asked why. She did not follow him anymore, but joined the team looking for He Cong.
He Xiang followed the whistle sound to the end of Jixiang Street, but found nothing suspicious. She looked at the busy people on this street and found that the life balance above everyone's head was normal, and she did not find any other life-guards.
She was uneasy when people were in unexpected situations, fearing that there would be some kind of invisibility barrier, and she would miss her chance to save others.
That's right! The sound comes from here. Why is there no sign of the life-keeper or the life-sucking ghost? He Xiang repeatedly searched for the situation on Jixiang Street. She was worried that her carelessness would affect the lifespan of others, so she walked into the one closest to her.
