Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 406 - 405: What’s the Little Guy Pretending to Be?

Chapter 406: Chapter 405: What’s the Little Guy Pretending to Be?

What puzzled these ghosts was that Po Tian, who normally commanded such respect and had once personally killed a misbehaving fierce ghost, just let a child break the mirrors without intervening.

Could it be that he wasn’t home?

The more the ghosts thought about it, the more curious they became, following Mianmian around and watching her busily at work.

After all the mirrors were shattered, there was still no response from the Orphanage.

"The exit isn’t through these mirrors," Mianmian said as she carefully picked up the broken glass from the ground, worried that the sharp shards might injure the little ghosts here.

After all, the ghosts here could interact directly with physical objects; it would be bad if they were hurt because she broke the glass.

After expressing her sentiments, Chunchun’s eyes turned red, "Then what do we do now? We can’t get out, and I really want to see Huahua."

The plan had been to stay here only a few days, but now it seemed they were stuck. Still just a child at heart, Chunchun began to blame Mianmian.

If it weren’t for Mianmian coming to find him, perhaps he and Huahua wouldn’t be in this situation...

Noticing that something was off with Chunchun’s expression, Mianmian applied a Mind Calming Talisman to him and said in a milky voice, "I’m sorry, okay?"

Chunchun was startled.

Mianmian spoke with sincerity, "Mianmian came here for my family, and I don’t regret it, but I disturbed your life with Huahua after arriving, and that is my fault. So, I want to apologize to you first~"

Little Bun’s small face was earnest, and her big eyes were filled with remorse; the previously resentful Chunchun instantly lost his steam.

Su Mianmian came here not for any other reason but for her family.

If what Su Mianmian said was true...

Chunchun, with his eyes cast down and feeling gloomy, responded to Mianmian, "You better not be lying to me."

"Of course, I’m not lying to you," Mianmian hurriedly assured, "I’m Mianmian, who never lies, not to people nor ghosts~"

At most sometimes I might only tell half the truth, but that’s toward bad people or when I want to reduce harm.

Mianmian added this thought to herself and steered the conversation back to finding a way out.

"If it’s not the mirrors, then where else can we exit?"

Chunchun also became disheartened.

Indeed, how could they get out? Trusting Su Mianmian was one thing, but being unable to leave was another matter entirely. Su Mianmian said someone outside was protecting Huahua, but he didn’t know if that was true.

The two children, with complicated emotions, turned and left the room.

The ghosts that were following behind cautiously approached, "Are you looking for a way out?"

Mianmian nodded to confirm, and one ghost came over grinning, "Well, that’s great. If you can find a way out, then we can bask in your glory. Life here is quite boring."

Other ghosts chirped in, talking about how constrained they felt in this place.

Mianmian gazed up with her little head and observed the older ghosts discussing; when they stopped talking, she asked, "You say it’s not free here because you can’t bully children like you do outside, right?"

"And you, are you troubled because you can’t absorb human Yang Qi?"

The child’s voice was tender, but her words made the several ghosts uncomfortable, "What are you talking about, little friend? Don’t say nonsense, we are good ghosts."

"Hahaha, what are you saying, sister has never absorbed a man’s Yang Qi."

Mianmian didn’t argue further but straightforwardly brought out the Soul-hooking Rope.

"Since we can’t get out anyway, let’s catch a few ghosts for now, and when we get out, I’ll send you off to the Underworld."

She hadn’t forgotten about her other job, the Yin Envoy.

These big ghosts initially wanted to probe the situation, to find out why Mianmian had been causing destruction for so long without that person called Po Tian coming out to deal with her. They hadn’t expected to not only fail at gathering intel but also to have Mianmian pull out a Soul-hooking Rope that only Ghost Envoys possess, declaring she would capture them and take them to the Underworld.

Those who could enter here were either those who died nearby and hadn’t waited for a Ghost Envoy to claim their souls when they were drawn into the orphanage at night, or they were evil spirits wandering around seeking to do harm and inadvertently stumbled into this place.

The ones who talked the most turned out to be just like that.

Since they were the likes of fierce and malicious ghosts, they naturally had evaded the pursuit of ordinary Ghost Envoys and gained some clout. So, upon seeing Mianmian with a Soul-hooking Rope, they no longer pretended to be amiable ghosts and burst out laughing, "You’re just a kid who hasn’t fully grown your hair. How come you’re pretending to be a Ghost Envoy with a Soul-hooking Rope?"

"Exactly, what act are you putting on, little one? If it weren’t for the rules here against fighting at will, we would have gobbled you up long ago."

"Ghost Envoys are a bunch of useless fellows. If they were capable of catching us, they would have done so already."

Seeing their true colors revealed, the kind ghosts were startled and ran off to other places, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

Most of the ghosts dispersed, but these few licked their lips with a sinister gleam in their eyes, "We can’t tear you to pieces, but giving you a beating to let off some steam doesn’t seem to warrant any severe punishment."

The children who initially had fun playing with Mianmian, seeing these ghosts bully one of the little friends, quickly gathered around to protect Mianmian.

"You can’t do this."

"Yes, yes, doing so would make that big brother angry."

"Exactly, if he gets angry, he’ll kill you all."

The children wanted to protect Mianmian, but the biggest child in front was kicked.

Having lived here for so long, these fierce and evil ghosts, afraid of doing something bad and being killed by the master of the place, had been acting cautiously. They had even formed families. But Mianmian, in a few words, exposed their depths, and their "families" ran away clean. How could they give up just like that?

They rubbed their hands in anticipation, eager to teach the innocent-looking Little Bun a lesson.

"Get out of the way, don’t block the path."

A male ghost tried to kick the child standing at the forefront away, but before his foot could touch the child, his shoulder blade was pierced through.

Perhaps because the ghosts here were not just mere shades, when the Soul-hooking Rope penetrated the body of the male ghost, blood showed on his shoulder blade, creating a shocking sight.

This actually made things difficult for Mianmian, as there were more evil ghosts here than just this one. If the Soul-hooking Rope was occupied, she wouldn’t be able to capture every single one. Moreover, she couldn’t bundle them up to save space.

While Mianmian hesitated, the other ghosts, seeing their companion hit directly by Mianmian’s Soul-hooking Rope, had their malice aroused and lunged at Mianmian with their fists again.

Mianmian dodged the attacks while trying to continue using the Soul-hooking Rope.

The Soul-hooking Rope, originally stuck in the male ghost’s body, stretched forward as if it were outside, and in a while, strung together a string of Candied Hawthorn, firmly grasping the evil ghosts that tried to strike.

This scene, conversely, scared the children protecting Mianmian, who ran away in panic to watch from a distance.

"How are you so powerful?"

"Mianmian, are you a Ghost Envoy come to capture us?"

"Wah, I don’t want to go anywhere else; I still want to play here."

Children think differently than adults; having a place to play makes them happy. Driven by fear, they quickly fled.

Mianmian couldn’t explain anything because those ghosts strung together still had to follow her.
