The strange sound that came from Kedou startled everyone in the living room.
However, be it Wu Shiyu or Gu Jun, other than the chill from Kedou's presence, they did not feel like they had encountered any darkness before. When Kedou said that, she giggled and cried out in English, "Surprise!"
The innocent smile of a child returned to her face, and it was obvious that she treated this as something fun.
"Kedou!" Mother Lee almost burst into tears. She tried to grab her daughter back from her niece. "You scared me to death."
Father Li was also anxiously pacing around. What had happened so far had left ordinary people like them at a loss as to what to do.
"It's fine, it's fine." Wu Shiyu patted Kedou's back to console them.
"Everything is fine …" Captain Gao reported to Gu Jun softly. At the same time, nothing happened at the children's room. The cleansing stone and Kedou's rationality assessment stone did not show any reaction.
Looking at Kedou's lively appearance, it did not appear to be the result of her being controlled by darkness, it was merely an imitation.
"Kedou, did you make that voice?" Gu Jun asked as his headache intensified.
"Yes, yes!" Kedou was about to say something when she said excitedly, "I've been learning from your sister for a few days. She said this is a kind of opera singing voice. Not many people can understand it. She praised me for being a fast learner." Kedou then asked in that strange voice, "Brother Dirty-minded Jun, do you think I can do it well?"
Hearing this strange voice, Gu Jun started to panic. 'Is this a taunt from the enemy?'
To their relief, Kedou was indeed mimicking the voice but how she learned it and how she managed to make use of her throat and vocal cords to make such a strange sound, they had no idea. Kedou herself could not explain it. She only said, "I just learned from her."
"Idiot, stop talking to that voice." Wu Shiyu said to his cousin, "That big sister was joking with you. That's a pig's cry."
Gu Jun nodded. "The ugly kind."
They did not know if this was part of some kind of curse, because curses had to be chanted with a specific tone. Perhaps Kedou had only learned the part of the intonation, but learning to speak like that over a long period of time would affect her. Perhaps it was already a bad influence on her now …
"Huh?" Kedou was surprised, "I've been tricked?"
However, she was naturally lively and did not find it difficult to be annoyed. Instead, she found it amusing.
She didn't know that because she made such a strange sound, the seriousness of the situation suddenly increased. It made the adults worry, as if there was a rope in the air tightening around the child's throat. They looked around, but could only see an unknown blank.
Then, Wu Shiyu left her aunt and uncle in the living room while she carried Ke Dou to the nursery with Captain Gao and the rest. Gu Jun followed beside her, but he had to pay attention to his own condition. He did not want to force himself. He had to leave before the stress acted up.
There was nothing special about the nursery. The walls were painted sky blue and had drawings of animals and cartoon characters. There was a child's bed with a wooden railing. It was also filled with children's furniture. There was a dresser, a study table, and a bookshelf filled with children's books. The floor was littered with piles of toys and one of the corners was filled with various dolls.
Wu Siyu carried Ke Dou over to search the place. The guards had already used the equipment to check if there were any bombs or other dangerous items.
She did not find anything. However, when she looked at the dolls in the corner, her synaesthesia started to get messed up. She felt like she was hallucinating …
However, the feeling was not strong enough. Wu Shiyu could only rely on her synaesthesia to see a shadow that had appeared before. The power … was very strong.
The moment Gu Jun walked into the room, for some reason, fragments of his inexplicable childhood memories flashed across his mind. The children's room, the scribbling of the foreign language … His headache rapidly intensified to an unbearable level. His muscles tensed up. He took a deep breath and immediately walked out of the children's room.
After recuperating for a period of time, his persistent avoidance symptoms did not improve …
He couldn't stay in such an unusual place.
Wu Shiyu carried Ke Dou to the bedside and asked her about the details. Ke Dou waved her hands and said, "We met at the old town that day! Then one night, big sister came to find me. She told me stories, taught me how to sing, and played with toys. She's such a nice person. "
Then Wu Shiyu had her retell the story of the man-eating monster. This was the start of the story. The more Ke Dou listened, the more she liked it.
Now that she was asked to continue, Ke Dou was excited, "The monster came from the sea. It was huge, as big as the sky! When it opened its mouth, it swallowed everyone in the city. When it opened its mouth again, it swallowed everyone on land! Everyone lived happily ever after in its stomach. "
"Also, there was once a pair of good friends. They had been in love for a long time and they were about to get married. On the day of their wedding, the monster suddenly appeared and ate them both! From then on, they lived happily ever after in the monster's stomach. "
Ke Dou told a few similar stories. They were all about the monster suddenly appearing to eat people and the people living happily ever after in its stomach.
After that, Gu Jun listened to Wu Siyu's narration in the living room. He felt a chill in his heart and anger in his heart …
That so-called big sister was planting a seed of darkness into the child's heart.
"Ke Dou, have you seen how big sister looks like?" Wu Shiyu asked, "By the way, has she ever removed the Smiling Buddha mask?"
"Huh? No, the big sister said it's fun to wear the mask. "Ke Dou giggled," But tonight, the big sister will take off her mask! "
…
After the investigation at the Lee family, Captain Gao escorted Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu and the Lee family members back to the safe house at Phecda Base.
This incident alerted the headquarters immediately. Elder Tong personally contacted Gu Jun and Gu Jun on the phone to understand the situation.
Other than proving that Gu Jun's recent heightened alertness was not entirely due to PTSD, Ke Dou was only 5 years old. However, the past proved that the cultists from the R'yleh Cult were cruel to children. Both Gu Jun and Deng Ximei had been through this before …
'Gu Jun's big sister? Is it another Spirit Child? ' But Deng Ximei said there was no such character among the Spirit Children she knew.
This was because Gu Jun's identity was special, he was one level higher than them. The cultists would not allow any Spirit Child to be his big sister in name.
The investigation team had hit a rock. They had already investigated Gu Jun's family background if they could and they still couldn't.
Even so, the members continued to work hard. The newly formed One was ready to move out and Gu Jun was unable to participate in any of this …
On the afternoon of the 15th, the preliminary investigation showed that there was nothing wrong with the Lee family and Ke Dou's condition was stable. They still had no idea how the enemy appeared in the children's room, it could be a mental connection or a spell.
Since last night, Gu Jun's mood had been low. He was angry about the incident but at the same time, he was pained by his own helplessness.
Now his girlfriend's little cousin was being harmed by bad people and he could do nothing but wait for the suspicious signal to reappear.
What did he mean by 'a small new year gift'?
This matter, it shouldn't be just like that …
"Dirty-minded Jun, come, let's leave this place."
That afternoon, before 3 pm, Wu Shiyu came to Gu Jun's room. She grabbed his hand and led him out. "I've already told the base, we'll continue our trip. We'll stay in this city. I've already booked a suite at a riverview hotel."
Gu Jun understood what she meant but he was confused. "Now?"
"Today is Lantern Festival, also Valentine's Day." Wu Shiyu looked at him and shrugged. "Hmm, this time I won't leave it to fate. The news said the next Valentine's Day will be in 2041, 19 years later. How old will we be then? I wonder if we'll still have the energy to … "
Gu Jun looked at her pretty face and her bright eyes. His heart was burning. "I'll be old but I'm sure I'll still be able to move."
He grabbed her hand and led her out. "Those bastards are worried about us, aren't they? We're going to celebrate this Lantern Festival to our heart's content."
"It's 3 pm now, it'll take us an hour to get to the hotel." Wu Shiyu said, "We'll have to hurry. If we do it before dusk, we'll still have some rest at night."
Gu Jun did not comment on her plan but revealed a mysterious smile. "Have you told Captain Gao and the rest to stop standing outside the door?"
"Oh, no." Wu Shiyu turned around. "It won't cause too much of a commotion, right?"
"That's hard to say." Gu Jun said.
The two chuckled. Their footsteps picked up as they walked down the corridor. It was as if they were running. They left this dreary base and headed for the outside.
From afternoon to the next morning, nothing else disturbed them on the night of Lantern Festival.
One was 22 and the other 21, they were both in their prime, they had more than enough energy to taste sweetness.
