My Family Is Very Odd

"It's a Filth." Li Xiao Gui often saw this kind of thing. "So big!"

She had thought the Filth that she saw Brother Shen Chen seal before was already very big, but she didn't expect this one to be even bigger. It was taller and bigger than the statue in the park.

Brother Shen Chen had taught her how to seal them, and she remembered.

She stealthily glanced at her fingers, but right now, she couldn't even squeeze out her spiritual power stably.

That thing was slowly squirming in their direction. It was still a long way from them, but Li Xiao Gui, already sensing danger, finally felt a little nervous. Her eyelashes and chubby cheeks trembled rapidly due to the fright, and she smacked her lips silently.

Li Xiao Gui subconsciously squeezed Chen Yuanyuan's hand. "Don't be afraid, it can't see us, let's hide."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded with a sob. "Okay!"

Li Xiao Gui grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's hand and quickly looked around. At this time, she saw the little girl they had seen before waving to them from behind on their right. "Come over here quickly."

The girl said anxiously.

Ahead was the huge Filth, approaching them, and they didn't know where the way out was.

Li Xiao Gui asked Chen Yuanyuan, "Should we go back or go with her?"

Chen Yuanyuan looked at her in a panic and shook her head. "I, I don't know."

Li Xiao Gui said, "Then let's go back, back to the restroom. If Brother Shen Chen can't find us, he will definitely come looking for us there."

Chen Yuanyuan looked at her anxiously and subconsciously glanced at the strange girl.

The strange girl beckoned to her as if to say: Come here quickly.

Chen Yuanyuan immediately turned her head and looked at Li Xiao Gui. "Okay."

In fact, she didn't have much confidence that they could go back to the original restroom. Suddenly arriving at a completely unfamiliar place made her lose confidence in finding her way.

Chen Yuanyuan was very uneasy.

Li Xiao Gui whispered to Chen Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded.

Then Li Xiao Gui took Chen Yuanyuan back the way they came.

The girl looked at them and said, "Why don't you come over?"

"Why don't you come over?"

"If you wander around the park at night, you will really die."

"Only I know where it's safe."

"Come with me..."

Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan walked further and further away.

The girl finally watched their figures become black dots and muttered in a ghostly voice, "Without me, you won't be able to leave this place..."

"Sigh." The girl sighed softly again.

Li Xiao Gui took Chen Yuanyuan back, but no matter how they walked, they couldn't reach where they wanted to go.

Chen Yuanyuan timidly hugged Li Xiao Gui's hand from behind.

After walking a long way, Li Xiao Gui suddenly stopped because she found that they were back to where they started. The little girl with two ponytails was still standing there, and in front, the giant Filth had moved a long way forward.

As it moved forward, it devoured the small Filths that were walking slowly and dazedly in front of it. But if they couldn't find their way out soon, they would soon be those little Filths that were devoured.

The girl said, "I know you don't believe me. How about this, I'll point you in a direction, you go by yourselves, and I'll keep my distance from you, is that okay?"

Li Xiao Gui looked at her.

The girl turned around and pointed to the front of her and said, "It's this direction, just keep going straight. If you want to come over, then come over. If you don't come over this time, I'll leave too, that monster is coming. If it sets its sights on you, you'll never escape."

Li Xiao Gui looked at the huge Filth, then at her fingertips, where there was still nothing.

The phone Dad gave her was in her schoolbag...

The girl turned around and sighed. "You're really stubborn, why don't you believe me? Even if you think I'm dangerous, I'm not as dangerous as that big monster in front of you. I'm at most a potential danger, but that's a clear and present danger, don't hurt your friend."

After the girl finished speaking, she really ignored them and left on her own. She slowly walked in the direction she had pointed them in, little by little, as if guiding something.

Li Xiao Gui suddenly felt a little at a loss, but thinking of Chen Yuanyuan beside her, her light brown eyes, like glass beads, widened and quickly became firm.

She said to Chen Yuanyuan, "One last time, if it doesn't work, we'll go in that direction, okay?"

She said in a childish voice.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded timidly, even though she didn't know what the last time meant. Was it going back again? But they had already walked that way and couldn't go back to the restroom.

As Chen Yuanyuan was thinking, she suddenly saw a faint glow emanating from Li Xiao Gui's drooping hand. It was a black light, then it became brighter and brighter, turning into a light blue.

As the light illuminated the surroundings, the scene seemed to change.

Like a bursting bubble, or like ink blooming in water, the completely unfamiliar scene before their eyes twisted into another form.

Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiao Gui widened their eyes in unison.

Li Xiao Gui raised her hand, and the dark place became bright. A street lamp appeared on the smooth ground, the old and scratched cement road became brand new, and the green grass turned into a flower bed.

It was the path they were familiar with.

And in the direction the girl had just called them to, there were two signs at the intersection that read: Back Mountain/Woods.

Li Xiao Gui raised the light in her hand. Although the scene had changed, the Filth in front of them still existed.

Li Xiao Gui looked at the lights on the path and thought of something. She pulled Chen Yuanyuan's hand and walked under the brightest streetlight. In front of them, there was a row of identical streetlights. The distance between the streetlights was a bit far, but they were shining brightly.

Li Xiao Gui puffed out her chest and tried hard to make the light in her hand brighter. The light in Li Xiao Gui's hand and the streetlights made this area much brighter. She swallowed and looked at the Filth that was still crawling in this direction, as if waiting for something.

Then she saw the Filth walk to the edge of the first streetlight, not even close to Li Xiao Gui's area, and stopped by itself. Then it hesitated for a moment and slowly walked in another direction.

【If you are being targeted, go to a warm place with many people, the more people the better. The brighter and livelier the place, the more afraid and weak they are. As long as you stay there for five minutes, they won't be able to find you. Never run to a remote and dark corner, you will be caught.】

"The brighter the place, the more afraid they are." Li Xiao Gui's eyes shone as she looked at Chen Yuanyuan and finally smiled. "Yuanyuan, it's okay."

Chen Yuanyuan stared at Li Xiao Gui blankly, then suddenly hugged her and cried, "Boohoo, I was so scared."

Li Xiao Gui patted Chen Yuanyuan's back gently. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Li Xiao Gui said, "Let's wait a while before going back to the swings, until that monster goes further away."

Chen Yuanyuan replied with a sniffle, "Okay."

Li Xiao Gui said, "I have light, we won't get lost this time."

"Okay."

Li Xiao Gui said, "Yuanyuan, don't cry, don't cry, I will protect you."

"Okay."

Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan stood under the light, and in the darkness beyond them, there seemed to be a faint sigh.
