Chapter 237 Welcome to the Real World
"Cough, cough, cough!"

Mom covered her mouth.

Despite trying hard to suppress it, she felt as if there were ants crawling in her throat, and it was extremely itchy!

After coughing a few times, my mother looked at the blood on her palm with a look of confusion on her face.

"Mom, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Yu Kexin patted her mother's back and asked with a frown.

"……Need not……"

Mom glanced at the date.

Although there is always a bad feeling in my heart.

but……

three days left.

In three days, it will be Yu Kexin's eighteenth birthday.

Just hold on for three more days...

"Mom, I can be alone at home, you should go to the hospital."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Before my mother could say anything, the coughing sounds of my father and grandmother could be heard one after another in the living room.

"It's okay, just drink more water, drink more hot water."

Mom took the cup of water.

I had just finished drinking it, but it was as if I had been thirsty all day and I drank half the bottle in one gulp.

"It's okay, Ke Xin, go and have a rest. Mommy will go see grandma."

Mom's expression was still cold and emotionless.

And the voice was still full of concern.

"……it is good."

Yu Kexin lowered her lifeless eyes and felt the guide rope on the wall to return to the bedroom.

Hearing the coughing sound coming from outside again not long after, she felt much more at ease.

First, the day before yesterday, her mother, who took her out, started coughing and drinking water in the middle of the night.

Starting yesterday, my father and grandmother also started coughing.

Because they couldn't be stopped at all, the two gluttonous ghosts could no longer remain as silent as paper figures, and could no longer float in Yu Kexin's house to monitor her.

These two days can be said to be the most relaxing two days for Yu Kexin since she regained her sight.

But because of the presence of the monitoring device, Yu Kexin did not dare to make any unnecessary noise.

"Cough cough..."

The coughing outside stopped.

Grandma, like a paper doll, slipped sideways and silently slipped in through the gap in Yu Kexin's door.

The old face slowly approached Yu Kexin's body.

The turbid, bloodthirsty and greedy eyes were fixed on Yu Kexin's face.

But Yu Kexin could now ignore this level of surveillance.

Hold on, hold on for a few more days...

She touched her left ear and thought to herself.

Although after that day, Yu Kexin never heard any reminders again, and no longer felt any strange sensation in her ears.

But she had a hunch that the monsters' uncontrollable coughing must have been caused by the person behind the voice that reminded her last time.

It should be some kind of "ability".

The purpose of doing this is to rescue her.

Is it mom?

Yu Kexin closed her eyes and placed her hand on her heart.

Although "Grandma" was right in front of her, Yu Kexin slowly fell asleep with the hope that she might see her mother again in a few days.

"..."

Grandma's old face lowered a little again.

The tip of his nose was almost touching Yu Kexin's face.

Feeling Yu Kexin's steady breathing, grandma's face turned a little red.

A gloomy look appeared on his face.

After looking at Yu Kexin deeply again, he walked out of Yu Kexin's room.

As soon as she went out, she couldn't help coughing any more!

It was as if he was going to cough out his heart, liver, and lungs.

These coughs also caused mom and dad to start coughing again.

"The people and animals are asleep."

After taking a few big gulps of water, grandma said in a hoarse voice.

"Even if he falls asleep, he'll keep an eye on him."

"I'm turning eighteen soon. It's a done deal. I can't... ahem! I can't make any mistakes."

Mom wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

He swallowed with a grim and painful look on his face, then drank another glass of water.

Now her throat is no longer just itchy like it was two days ago.

Every time I swallow, I feel a sharp pain like a needle prick.

But the feeling of extreme thirst made her want to drink water uncontrollably.

"There's a problem, definitely a problem..."

Dad was gasping for breath, staring at Yu Kexin's room, his breathing heavy and rapid.

"Should I report to the committee..."

He looked at his mother.

My mother shook her head with a cold face.

"Do you still want to raise humans and animals in your life?"

she asked irritably.

Although the committee encourages owners to report any problems immediately.

But reporting it twice in a week will make the owner look like an incompetent waste.

Especially since the committee just sent someone to check on Yu Kexin...

"Hold on for three more days. We'll talk about everything after we finish eating this human and animal."

Mom got up and walked to the white cat sleeping on the cat climbing frame.

As if it had sensed something, the white cat's hair stood up first, and then it suddenly opened its eyes.

But before it could make any sound, the mother's hand suddenly pinched the white cat's throat.

Ignoring the white cat's violent struggle, the mother picked it up and placed it in front of her.

"Go keep an eye on her for me."

“Don’t blink.”

Mom said word by word.

Then he carried the white cat to the door of Yu Kexin's room, gently pushed the door open, and put the white cat down.

"..."

The white cat fell to the ground, as if it was drenched in rain, and turned into a washing machine and swung violently.

After looking back at his mother, he arched his body, silently jumped onto the bedside table, and lay down with his body curled up.

Those eyes, emitting a creepy green light, were fixed on Yu Kexin.

"..."

Seeing this, my mother slowly closed the door.

But he still stood in the dark and looked at Yu Kexin through the crack in the door for a long time.

I didn't close the door until I could no longer suppress the urge to cough.

After she left, a ghostly figure slowly emerged outside the window.

"Well……"

Half asleep and half awake, Yu Kexin felt as if she had fallen into the water.

But there was no feeling of discomfort.

Because the water surrounding her was warm, making her feel extremely comfortable...

It's like when I was a kid, I went to the beach in South City with my parents, and lay on the sofa and basked in the sun...

So cozy...

Those carefree childhood days...

With Mom and Dad...

In this warm and comfortable feeling, Yu Kexin felt herself slowly floating up.

Like lying in water and floating up, up...

"..."

The feeling of weightlessness made her rub her eyes in a daze in her sleep, and she subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt.

But he found nothing.

After a moment of shock, Yu Kexin opened her eyes.

After adapting to the darkness, she found that she was actually floating in the air as if she had lost gravity!
And in front of me, there is a transparent ghost that looks like a jellyfish in the water?

Outside the house, another coughing sound was heard.

"Shh!"

Liu Xiaole covered Yu Kexin's mouth.

"Gudong..."

Yu Kexin also stared into Liu Xiaole's eyes.

The momentary fear and panic in his eyes met Liu Xiaole's seriousness and determination, and slowly disappeared.

This is a human, this is definitely a human!
Yu Kexin's heartbeat quickened.

It turns out that all it takes to distinguish between a human and a ghost is a glance...

“…” She took two silent breaths and nodded at Liu Xiaole.

Liu Xiaole also released his hand that was covering Yu Kexin, pulled up Yu Kexin's arm, passed through the wall, and flew outside.

"hiss!"

Facing the cold wind of February, Yu Kexin shivered!

As if she had just woken up and realized what was happening, she turned around.

Before she knew it, Liu Xiaole had taken her dozens of meters away from home.

The extremely familiar furnishings in her room became increasingly distant in Yu Kexin's eyes.

The violent coughing in my ears could no longer be heard.

"you're free."

After flying away from the community and above the clouds, Liu Xiaole finally spoke.

She snapped her fingers.

Only then did Yu Kexin notice that the white cat pretending to be Coke was floating above their heads.

As the sound of Liu Xiaole's snapping fingers dissipated with the wind, the white cat was like a kite with a broken string, and was instantly swept away by the strong wind above the clouds, flying to an unknown direction.

"Yu Kexin, welcome to the real world."

Liu Xiaole turned his head to look at Yu Kexin, who looked pale.

Then he took out two ordinary lollipops from his pocket.

One was thrown to Yu Kexin, and the other tore open the package and put it in his mouth.

Then she put on her hood, put her hands in her pockets, and tilted her chin to signal Yu Kexin to follow.

"The real world..."

Yu Kexin put away the lollipop and quickly caught up with Liu Xiaole.

For some reason, she felt as if she had lost all weight, but the whistling wind in her ears had no effect on her at all.

"If you have any questions, someone will tell you when you get there."

Liu Xiaole turned his head slightly.

He spoke as if he had predicted what Yu Kexin would say.

"it is good……"

Yu Kexin opened her mouth and nodded.

"...Sister, you...are you the voice in my ear that reminded me?"

But after a moment of silence, Yu Kexin still asked.

Because Liu Xiaole's voice was somewhat neutral, and the timbre was indescribably similar to the voice that reminded her that day.

"what?"

Liu Xiaole stopped and frowned.

"That day... when the gluttonous ghosts come, tell me how they will test me..."

"Without your reminder, I definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on..."

"……is it you?"

Yu Kexin's voice became lower and lower.

Liu Xiaole's frown deepened.

"You mean, someone warned you before the Taogui left?"

"……yes……"

Yu Kexin nodded.

"What did the voice say? Tell me everything."

“…Just say…”

Yu Kexin organized her words and was about to speak when she suddenly looked ahead, also above the clouds, and saw someone... flying on a sword?
It’s just that it’s not the sword in martial arts novels, but a feather arrow that needs to be shot with a bow.

"Yu Kexin, someone reminded you of this. You have to keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone."

"It's to protect the person who reminded you."

"Understand?"

Liu Xiaole also saw Zhang Hang.

Before Zhang Hang arrived, she turned her head and spoke seriously.

"I see……"

Yu Kexin nodded.

"Xiao Le, did everything go well? Did you alert those gluttonous ghosts?"

Zhang Hang's feather arrow stopped in front of Liu Xiaole.

"smoothly."

Liu Xiaole nodded and said.

A rare smile appeared on Zhang Hang's face.

After all, this is the first step in the whole plan.

"The rest just needs to wait for fermentation."

He breathed a sigh of relief, then extended his hand to Yu Kexin.

"My name is Zhang Hang."

"Uh... Yu Kexin."

"Well, let's go, let's go back first."

He broke through the cloud barrier and swooped down.

This direction made Liu Xiaole frown, "Aren't you going to take her back to the base?"

"No, there's a mole inside the base. The situation... is very complicated."

"Let her join you guys until this is over."

Zhang Hang said in a low voice.

Liu Xiaole nodded and said nothing more.

The three of them quickly took advantage of the night and flew into a room in a residential complex.

"Wow, what a fat cat."

"...and the dog..."

In this room, what caught Yu Kexin's eyes was a big fat orange cat and a big fat khaki dog.

Next to the cat and dog, a very beautiful but slightly haggard woman with long hair was flipping through some information.

"Auntie."

Liu Xiaole gestured to Yu Kexin to sit down.

"This is Ke Xin, right? Would you like some cake?"

Yu Shi put away the information, tucked her long hair behind her ears, and asked with a smile.

"I……"

Yu Kexin was about to politely refuse, not wanting to trouble Yu Shi in the middle of the night, but her stomach started to growl.

"It's okay, you're welcome."

Yu Shi kicked the big fat dog.

The confused dog yawned and moved its butt to make way out.

"Eat it. It was grilled last night. It's still fresh."

Yu Shi brought out a plate of small cakes.

"Gudong..."

The fragrance made Yu Kexin's mouth water instantly.

"Thanks……"

She didn't hesitate and started eating.

"Wait a minute, Orange and the others will come over. I have a task for you."

Zhang Hang put down his phone.

"Ke Xin, a few days ago, a glutton from the committee came to test you. Can you describe the glutton to me?"

He also pulled a stool and sat down before asking.

"Wow, Ke Xin is so amazing! She even made it past the committee."

Yu Shi brought another bag of milk to Yu Kexin and gave her a thumbs up in praise.

Yu Kexin glanced at Liu Xiaole and scratched his head modestly.

No mention of the voice.

"...Only one glutton came that day. He... was very young, and looked like a recent college graduate."

"As for his appearance... he's quite handsome, but..."

Yu Kexin held the cake and recalled Lin Xing'an's appearance.

Zhang Hang waved his hand and sneered.

"I see, it's really him..."

"Who?"

Yu Shi and Liu Xiaole asked at the same time.

"The murderer who provided Taoyuan with information and killed Taoyuan."

"That's the gluttonous ghost I asked you to kill."

Zhang Hanghe crossed his fingers, supported his chin, and said quietly.

"is it him?"

After Teacher Juzi opened the door with her key, she took out the photo that Zhang Hang had sent her last time from her arms.

Following behind were Wang Xi and Zhang Yunxi.

"Yes! That's him!"

Yu Kexin looked at Lin Xing'an in the photo and nodded heavily.

"..."

The room fell into silence.

PS: Brothers, I have a junior who passed the written test of Tsinghua University for postgraduate entrance examination. The retest and interview will be the day after tomorrow. Can you all cheer her on with me?
