Chapter 400: Water Wave's Raid

So, have all the homeless people left?

……

The cold wind blew, and several newspapers made a rustling sound.

The mess on the ground made the place look even more desolate.

……

But, aren’t you going to take all these belongings with you?

It's not like he had never met homeless people before, but those homeless people always attached great importance to their belongings, even if those belongings were no different from garbage in the eyes of other people.

Could it be that the homeless people who used to live here had some great fortune and no longer looked down on these things?
Moreover, “if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit”?
Judging from the endless array of things on the bridge pier, there must have been more than one homeless person staying here temporarily.

At least... Xiao Xiao counted the "nests" piled there... there should be five or six people.

However, Xiao Xiao was only slightly confused, thinking that this might be the place where people dumped their garbage.

He withdrew his inquiring gaze and walked towards the child without stopping.

……

With the help of his companions, the child saw Xiao Xiao walking towards him.

There was a look of panic and confusion on his face.

"Big brother?"

The child murmured, somewhat at a loss.

Xiao Xiao:.
He had an inexplicable urge to look at his face in the mirror.

Does he look fierce?
Or does he look ferocious now?
Otherwise, why would the child look so nervous as if he was afraid that he was going to hit someone?

……

Xiao Xiao was somewhat shocked.

Obviously, he has always thought that his affinity is quite good.

……

The child stared with wide eyes at Xiao Xiao who was getting closer and closer.

The dark eyeballs moved around uneasily.

His three friends looked at the child, then at Xiao Xiao, and then, like the child, they stared at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes.

……

Being stared at by several kids as if they were a great enemy was the first time for Xiao Xiao to experience such a thing.

It's inevitably novel and funny.

He bent down, clenched his fist and held his hand out in front of the child.

Several children took a step back in fear.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

……

Xiao Xiao spread out his palm, revealing the key inside.

"Is this your key?"

The child's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he subconsciously touched his trouser pocket.

"ah!"

The child, noticing his empty pockets, couldn't help but cry out, "My keys!"

……

"Here are my keys."

The child looked at the key in Xiao Xiao's hand and wanted to reach out to take it, but he hesitated. His black and white eyes glanced at Xiao Xiao cautiously.

"Well, I guess it's yours too."

Xiao Xiao stretched out his five fingers and stretched his hand in front of the child again, but did not move closer, motioning him to take the key away.

The child hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out quickly and grabbed the key in Xiao Xiao's open palm.

Looking at the key returning to his hand, the child breathed a sigh of relief, then narrowed his eyes happily and smiled from mouth to mouth.

……

Perhaps because he successfully got the key back, the child was not as wary of Xiao Xiao as he was at the beginning.

The child smiled innocently and happily, "Thank you, big brother."

"Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded by my mother."

"You're welcome. Be more careful next time."

Xiao Xiao squatted down, looking into the child's eyes with slightly curved brows.

"Ah."

The child responded loudly.

……

"Well, I-" It's time to go.

The rest of his words were interrupted by the sudden appearance of evil spirit.

Xiao Xiao suddenly looked up.

I saw a child running to the river bank at some point. The water around him was rippling with waves for some reason, and the sound of water was loud.

The increasingly loud noise made the child feel a little scared but also very excited.

You can tell by looking at the way he screams and jumps.

……

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the water surged up. The huge waves rushed towards the child as if they had their own consciousness.

There was an evil aura looming in the water vapor, and it was becoming more and more intense.

The sky seemed to be getting darker.

……

The child's expression no longer had the excitement he had at the beginning, but was now filled with horror.

He wanted to step back, he wanted to escape from here.

But my whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

His feet felt as if they were filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't move even a step.

He even despaired and found that he couldn't even do such a simple action as lifting his foot.

……

The child's eyes were widened to the extreme, and the waves roaring towards him were clearly reflected in his black pupils.

The huge roar made him dizzy.

He knew that in the next moment, he would be swallowed up by the waves.

The shadow in front of me grew bigger and bigger.

……

"Wow~"

The waves hit the ground heavily, making a heavy and shocking sound like thunder.

Huge splashes of water spread out like cannonballs.

……

Xiao Xiao loosened his arms around the child and luckily he caught up.

The child looked at the person standing in front of him, and for a moment, he was stunned.

There was a loud bang behind the man, but he himself was safe and sound.

I just felt a damp feeling on my face.

……

He's okay?!

Until the child's friends came over in a hurry, the noise of their chattering seemed to be blocked by a thin film, making it difficult for him to hear clearly.

……

Xiao Xiao took the initiative to make room for the child's friends.

The eyes that looked sideways towards the river were dark and unclear.

At this moment, there was no longer any trace of demonic energy on the river.

It seemed that the evil spirit before was just his illusion.

But, "Heh." Xiao Xiao chuckled almost silently.

What happened just now was not an illusion.

That evil spirit...

It seems that they are still "old friends".

……

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming!"

The children's anxious cries made Xiao Xiao look over in confusion.

Then he noticed that something was wrong with the child who was almost swept away by the waves.

The child was shaking all over.

His face was as pale as paper.

Drooped eyelids make it difficult to see the emotions underneath.

But you can see the eyelashes trembling violently.

……

The child was obviously terrified.

Looking at the child who didn't respond at all no matter how the children around him called out to him, Xiao Xiao frowned worriedly.

He walked quickly to the child and held him in his arms.

He was careless. He thought that although the situation just now was dangerous, in the eyes of ordinary people, it should be just a big wave caused by the strong wind on the river surface, and if it hit him, he would just be unlucky and become a drowned chicken.

However, because the waves are too strong, they may cause harm to children.

……

Most people don’t know that there is evil spirit in the waves.

He would not have known that the wave was deliberately rushing towards the child, trying to sweep the child into the river.

……

But he still overestimated a child's ability to bear.

Just facing waves that are countless times bigger than himself must be frightening for this child.

……

Xiao Xiao gently stroked the child's trembling shoulders and said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"It's okay now."
