Little Red Riding Hood

  In the previous chapter, Zhou Meng called and said that Grandpa had entrusted a VHS tape with news.

  Huang saw Lao Ya and Fu Yao receive the phone call, then hastily left without finishing their conversation. He let out a sigh of frustration, ordering someone to take away the body, preparing to write a report and declare it a supernatural case, hoping it would be approved so that those monsters from Department 13 could come and investigate.

  。。。。。。。。

  Another day has passed, and the people in front of me are indeed obedient, but there is one thing - as soon as I mention wanting to leave, they all rush up together, hug my legs, cry and wail, with snot and tears all over me, how disgusting.

  It's been several days, and Luoye and the others must be worried sick. My anemia symptoms are getting worse and worse, and I've fainted many times. DongnanxiBei thinks it's inexplicable, so he can only let that unlucky guy who was knocked unconscious by me make some more nourishing food to replenish my blood.

  "I want..." Before another word could come out, Dong Nan Xi Bei suddenly burst into tears and flung herself at me.

  "......Can you change a set? Or give me a reason why I can't go?" I really didn't dare to use the method of letting them pay their respects to my good mother's remains to threaten them. Because it is impossible for the soul to appear in front of people, and last time my good mother appeared was also an accident, I had no guarantee that the accident would happen again, and if I failed, I would lose the chips to deter them.

  Dong Wicked sucked back a noseful of snot and said in a wronged tone: "We're also doing it for the sake of Big Sister's well-being, you can't mess with the red-clothed madam outside, it's safer here."

  Look at my "unbelieving" face, Xi Man immediately explained: "We four brothers are also famous in the rivers and lakes, but that red-clothed lady, with just one move, sent us flying, and she can cast magic..."

  Magic? I thought to myself, perhaps it was some unconventional method that whisked me away from Fuya's presence. I have great confidence in Fuya's abilities.

  "Right, the red-clothed lady wants us to secretly help her with things. We used to be famous and feared in the jianghu, but now we're reduced to this... our lives are so bitter..." The four of them sang a sorrowful tune that filled the entire living room.

  I suddenly felt defeated and didn't bother to argue with them, so I crawled onto the sofa to watch TV by myself.

  It's possible they saw I wasn't buying it, so the four of them gradually reduced their crying until they finally stopped.

  Dong E suddenly became serious and said, "Big sister, it's not that we don't want to let you go, but this place is no longer an ordinary realm. We still have 'Huo Tou' (the one who was knocked unconscious by Ah Jia) being caught and brought back after escaping countless times without anyone guarding him. Each time he came back covered in injuries and had lost all hope. Now that big sister's body isn't doing well, it's even more impossible to take risks."

  I also found something unusual here, as if every day was at the time of sunrise, the sky was gray and hazy with a red glow. Looking out from the window, there is only a misty view, nothing can be seen. And the food, it's all placed in the kitchen every day, as if it appeared automatically, this place seems like a ghostly lair.

  "What's that red-clothed granny anyway, do you know?" I intentionally pretended to be distracted and casually asked, then focused on adjusting the TV.

  The four of them didn't avoid the topic, and Xi Man said: "These years on the rivers and lakes, we've also heard some small news. It seems like there's an organization called the Red Sleeve Society, with many people who are highly skilled in martial arts and magic. I reckon the Red-robed Lady is one of them, but it's just a guess, no basis for it." The other three nodded in agreement.

  What's going on with the Red Whirlwind? I've been sorting out what happened these past few days, and it seems like everything started from the copper mirror. There was a bizarre murder case, Goodwife became a vengeful spirit, blood sacrifice...and then there's the Red Robed Granny...the threads are all tangled up, can't make sense of it.

  I sighed, and my fingers were increasingly showing a dark blue color... only three days left...

  The people from all directions looked at me and fell silent, then knowingly left.

  Suddenly, I heard some movement at the gate, and my heart couldn't help but feel afraid. Because Dongnan Xibei had said that only Hongyi Nainai could enter this place. Dongnan Xibei was also quite skilled in adapting to situations, and he quickly picked me up and threw me to the side, where someone else caught me and threw me again, at an extremely fast speed, and I was instantly thrown back into the storage room. I immediately pretended to be tied up, lying horizontally facing the door of the storage room, ready to respond.

  Outside, it was quiet for a while. After a short while, "Hao Tou" called me out. I saw a girl in white clothes, about my size, also bound hand and foot, lying on the sofa.

  The girl's figure looks familiar, it's Lili!

  "Quickly untie!"

  "Yes, big sister." The four men from the southeast, northwest, northeast, and southwest, all wearing sunglasses, spotless black suits, and shiny black leather shoes, with their hands clasped behind their backs, nodded to me in unison, and quickly untied the ropes binding Li Li.

  "Ah......" Li Li trembled and hugged me tightly, sobbing loudly, scared out of her wits. I signaled to the others to leave in all directions, so as not to scare Li Li further, still looking wronged.

  Li Li was after all a timid and soft girl, it took her half a day to calm down, still sniffling, roughly recounting how she was knocked unconscious by a beautiful red-clothed sister in the dormitory and brought over in the trunk.

  Just as I guessed, this red-clothed granny caught me and Lili, what's the use of that? It would be better to catch Zhou Meng and make him a subordinate, which would be more useful.

  "Big sister, dinner is ready." Dong Wu put on a plate with a sneaky expression and politely stretched out his hand to ask us.

  Li looked at me with a puzzled expression.

  How can I explain it? My family is in trouble, but I couldn't possibly tell Lili that there are ghosts in this world.

  Li Li's brow furrowed in puzzlement, then suddenly relaxed, and her eyes lit up: "Lao Hu, is this your family's servant? Was he also caught?"

  "Yes." I casually pointed at Dong E: "This one is the gardener, that one is the chef, and there's also the sweeper, the gatekeeper, and the pig feeder."

  East, South, West and North and "partner head": "......"

  "En ne." Lili happily accepted these not-so-reliable statements, cheerfully holding my hand and pulling me to the dinner table. This is the frequency of foodies forgetting their worries when they see food, why does Lili have it?

  I expressed a bit of "benevolent rule" at home, and the servants can eat together. Only then did DongnanxiBei and "Houtou" sit down with gloomy faces. Did our family offend them?

  In the middle of the night, I heard some rustling sounds and woke up with a start. Li was still fast asleep, but she took her arm away from mine and felt her way through the darkness in the direction of the noise. We hadn't known each other for long, and I didn't trust them.

  The sound came from downstairs, I leaned on the railing and saw six figures in the living room, whispering something. The sixth one was Grandma in red?
