Chapter 15: Infant Spirit

  My girlfriend is a goddess

  I couldn't help but shudder at this, it should be a fierce infant spirit.

  Thinking of staying in place is not a solution, so I continued walking forward. The footsteps behind me started echoing again.

  "You can come with me, but if you dare harm me, I'll make your soul fly away!"

  I clenched my phone tightly and encouraged myself to be brave, continuing to move forward.

  The little spirit behind me didn't come up to make trouble, but instead followed me like a well-behaved child, taking one step for every step I took. Although it looked very fierce just now, it never actually did anything supernatural.

  After finally walking to the light, it turned out to be a temple, built in a spire shape, made of red bricks, with glazed tiles embedded, looking quite high-end.

  On the gate was pasted a pair of white paper couplets, but the words were written in bright red cinnabar. Under the light of the lanterns, the two lines of characters seemed even more crimson like blood.

  There was only a lantern hung at the door, and the light was not very bright, but it could still be seen clearly inside the temple.

  After walking here, the footsteps of that infant spirit disappeared, and it's unknown where it went. Never mind, as long as it doesn't make trouble, it's fine.

  Inside the temple, there were many children's clothes and toys scattered around. On both sides of the wall, various memorial tablets were placed. The entire temple was covered with cobwebs, apparently it had not been swept for a long time.

  The ancestral tablets enshrined in the hall are generally those of ancestors. If descendants often worship and offer sacrifices, their ancestors will bless future generations. Therefore, the ancestral hall can usually give people a sense of security.

  But now this temple is built too strangely, and no one sweeps it, revealing an eerie atmosphere everywhere.

  I looked around again and the nearest light was probably an hour's walk away. With my current physical strength, I couldn't possibly carry Little Sakura there.

  After some thought, I decided to go in and stay for a night first.

  So I helped Xiaoying into the temple, found a clean place to sit down, then took out the incense sticks and candles from her bag, lit a big bunch of them, inserted them onto the altar, and also inserted some in front of each tablet. While lighting, I muttered: "Respected ancestors, I'm passing by your honorable land, and was forced to stay overnight, if I disturbed your peace, please forgive me."

  This was actually taught to me by my grandfather when I was young. If you want to stay in a temple, first offer incense and clearly state your intention, then even if it's someone else's ancestral temple, they won't make things difficult for you, on the contrary, they will protect you for a peaceful night.

  At that time, I was very skeptical of this set, young and vigorous, knowing a few more words, always thinking that my grandfather was doing everything to ban superstition, so I never gave this set of things a glance.

  But later on, I went through a lot of things and instead started believing in my grandfather.

  "Huh? This tombstone, why is it engraved with my name?"

  When I was paying respects, I found one of the name plates had a name that was exactly the same as mine: Su Hai!

  But then again, it's not surprising either. The name Suhai is quite ordinary and there are probably many people with this name all over the country. Moreover, there are so many tombstones here, over a hundred, it's no wonder that one of them has the same name as me.

  I continued to burn incense and saw that Xiaoying was leaning against the wall with her head tilted, sleeping soundly. I let out a sigh of relief.

  The entire floor was filthy, making it impossible to stay overnight. Luckily, there was a broom nearby, so I grabbed it and prepared to sweep out a spot. Then, using my clothes as a makeshift bedspread, I could finally get some rest.

  At this time, a burst of light and quick footsteps suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the sound of children's laughter. The voices were noisy and getting closer and closer, as if a large group of children were running towards here.

  My heart is filled with terror: could it be a large group of infant spirits arriving?

  Just as I was thinking, footsteps had already entered the temple, and then the balloons, dolls, tricycles and other toys on the ground around me started moving, and the children's laughter echoed one after another, quite crisp and loud.

  It's like a children's playground right in front of me, filled with laughter and chatter.

  But there isn't a single person in front of me!

  Those children's happy voices and laughter, if they really sounded in the playground, would definitely make people feel relaxed and happy. But this is in a temple, and it's full of eeriness in the dark night!

  It seems I didn't guess wrong, it's indeed a large group of infant spirits coming to play.

  My heart is like a block of ice, and my whole body is emitting cold air.

  Take another look at Little Sakura, still sleeping, and the group of infant spirits temporarily did not go to disturb her.

  Just now on the road, I met a spirit, and it gave me experience. As long as I don't provoke them, they shouldn't provoke me either. If they really provoke me, my mobile phone will severely punish them.

  So I slightly put down my heart, one hand clenched the phone, and the other grabbed a broom to start sweeping the floor.

  Before long, I had swept out a large area.

  But suddenly a burst of mischievous laughter erupted, followed by a gentle breeze that blew up, as if someone was blowing air beside me, scattering the dust I had just swept into a pile all over the place, making the newly cleaned area dirty again.

  Then, laughter echoed in front of and behind me. Unseen icy small hands were tugging at my clothes, patting my shoulders, and some even held my hands... but none hurt me.

  Soon, a small dirty handprint appeared on my clothes.

  It's obvious that this is a group of mischievous spirits playing tricks on me.

  "Alright, you guys go ahead and play, as long as you don't cause any trouble, I won't bother you."

  I couldn't help but sigh, although I was terrified in my heart, I still plucked up the courage to ignore them.

  At this time and place, I couldn't escape, nor did I have any good way to deal with them. Dealing with little kids might be something I had some experience in, but dealing with infant spirits was something I really didn't know how to handle.

  So just let them play and ignore them, it's really the best way.

  However, this group of spirits became more and more excessive in their playfulness. Not only did they mess up my hair, but also blew the ground into a messy state. Some even walked towards Sakura, and soon many small handprints appeared on her body, including her chest.

  It's really unbearable! That pure and beautiful part of Sakura, I haven't even touched it yet, now you bunch of little monsters have defiled it!

  A three-foot flame of anger immediately ignited in my chest, my whole body surged with hot blood, and the world in front of me also turned crimson.

  These little devils have finally crossed the line and I'm about to blow my top!

  It's strange to say, but when the world in front of me turned blood red, I could see that group of infant spirits. There were about ten or so, each with a head as big as a watermelon, a body as thin as a stick, eyes deep black without any white, and a small face that was deathly pale. Some even had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.

  Then there were several people around Xiaoying, one of whom curiously patted Xiaoying's chest and smiled at Ling beside her with each pat.
